People often reference PFF grades but the data here shows they should be ignored entirely when it comes to RB/WR prospects.
PFF ranks fair MUCH better but they still trail both http://NFL.com"> http://NFL.com and draft capital. Still though, Kudos to whoever does those. Big value add.

I used to laugh off http://NFL.com"> http://NFL.com until @DFBeanCounter first informed me of its value.
After digging in here, it& #39;s pretty clear http://NFL.com"> http://NFL.com can be a powerful tool when used in combination with analytics.
The best part? It& #39;s free!

I& #39;m constantly looking for ways to incorporate film into my analysis cause I believe it& #39;s a key piece of the puzzle and I suck at it.
Until now, I& #39;ve relied on people with proven track records like @JetPackGalileo who publishes his grades for free! Follow him.

Going forward, it looks like I can add another informative FREE tool to my process and you should too.
