I think Tony Pauline of Draft Analyst is one of the better media draft guys. His analyses of players seem more on the money than most. You can get a good idea of the player with his assessments. He's fairer to whites than most though he still underrates them.

Here are some RAS ratings for defensive ends and defensive tackles. The RAS measures athleticism taking into account size. As is usually the case white defensive linemen fare well in the RAS ratings. https://twitter.com/mathbomb/status/1102306281346527234

I don't know why anyone even bothers to watch modern movies. I just watch movies made before 1965. There are plenty of good movies to watch from that era.

One good thing about Newton is that he has a strong arm. Hogan is a deep threat. This may work out...

Here's a July, 2017 article about Tanner Gentry. Check out his senior stats, mentioned in the article. https://windycitychronicle.com/2017/07/28/tanner-gentry

Jordan Howard was traded from the Bears. This may open up a spot for Ryan Nall. Unlike Howard, Nall is a good receiver. he fits the Bear's offense better. However, we all know how white running backs are treated. Maybe the Bears will surprise us. Here's a video of Nall's game against...

Here's an article discussing Nick Bosa's politics. He's a Trump supporter. https://www.ninersnation.com/2019/4/10/18304803/nick-b

Lindy's draft guide makes no mention of Maxx Crosby that I can find. Not at defensive end nor at linebacker.

You can do a redraft of the 2018 draft if you want to on Fanspeak. I did one for the Bears. Here are my results: 8: R1P8 LB LEIGHTON VANDER ESCH BOISE STATE 39: R2P7 G BRADEN SMITH AUBURN 51: R2P19 TE DALLAS GOEDERT SOUTH DAKOTA STATE 115: R4P15 P MICHAEL DICKSON TEXAS 145: R5P8 WR JUSTIN...

I always thought leagues such as the XFL should target medium sized cities rather than competing directly with the NFL in the big cities. Also, as LF suggested, they could have stocked their league with underrated white players and attracted fans that way. Instead they're gone.

I have a Pro Football Weekly magazine from 2012 and 2018. The one from 2012 is much more extensive.

Here's a PFF video about Notre Dame linebacker Drue Tranquill. Includes an interview and stats.

Lindy's draft guide does give the 40 times of players - which it gets wrong. The magazine says Chase Winovich ran a 4.82 40. Winovich ran a 4.59 at the Combine. Big difference! It says John Cominsky ran a 4.80 40. Cominsky ran a 4.69 40 at the Combine, at 286 lbs.

I don't recommend buying Lindy's draft guide. It has little by way of statistics. Statistics don't tell the whole story but they tell part of the story. Here's an example. It gives no statistics on DK Metcalf, supposedly a first round pick. The magazine claims he "enjoyed a fine 2017...

Zenner might get cut which would give him an opportunity elsewhere.

Well, I bought Lindy's pro football draft guide. Haven't read any of it yet.

Allen and Cominsky look like 3-4 defensive ends. Cominsky could also play in a 4-3.

I looked at Draft Tek for their ratings of edge rushers. There are 4 white men they give draftable grades. Nick Bosa they rank as the number one player in the draft. Chase Winovich at 90. Porter Gustin at 170. Maxx Crosby at 252. To me, putting Crosby as the 252nd best player in the draft...

I read a couple scouting reports on Crosby and they make it sound like he's a horrible player. The Draft Network's Kyle Crabbs claims "Crosby lacks high end physical tools," which is obviously false. More scouting by race. Crosby is white therefore the DWF thinks that he's isn't athletic.

To get Combine and Pro Day numbers you can go to Kent Lee Platte's RAS charts. The RAS is a single number describing athleticism taking into account size and weight. Here's a sample. To see the whole chart click on it. To get rid of the writing on the bottom move your cursor off the chart area...

Compare the Isabella report with the Marquise Brown report which lauds Brown's alleged speed (we don't know what it really is because he didn't participate in the Combine). https://thedraftnetwork.com/player/marquise-brown

There's a site called Draft Network. It's scouting reports appear to be very caste and stereotypical when it comes to white players. You'll see what I mean in their report on Andy Isabella, which never once mentions his exceptional speed. It says his 4.31 speed is "effective," not giving an...

I was surprised that Quinn lasted until the end of the 7th round last year. I thought he'd go in the 4th or 5th round. Shadowlight mentioned that Gruden wanted to take him earlier but was overruled. Every team passed on him repeatedly. I thought then and think now he can be a quality NFL...

I just had a discussion on a Bears board about Ryan Nall. I suggested Nall is a viable option for the Bears. Not surprisingly a couple of DWFs bashed Nall, one saying Nall was a slower Jordan Howard. So I looked up their times. Howard ran a 4.59 40 before the draft and Nall ran a 4.58. I...

Former NFL wide receiver and safety Mike Furrey is now the wide receivers coach for the Bears. Furrey once had 98 receptions in a season. Let's hope he tries to be fair to white receivers.
