No criticism from me as I appreciate the content and I find this page makes drafts more interesting to follow.
It's just Fandom stuff. There's enough content on the internet to learn about as many players as you want. There's shift by shift video with no commentary, shift by shift video with commentary from scouts, hughl8ghts reels of all the good things these players do, plus there's a never ending supply of reading content from various draft guide scouts, reporters etc to paint as thorough a picture as you want and form an opinion that way. Or you can just go by what name you like.

There's ppl who write for Jr teams who see these guys day in and day out, it's nice to pay attention to those as well.

I've always just gone by reading up, then following the video trail on players I really like and try to see how the rankings break down across my spectrum of information gathering .

I'm just a fan of drafts and team building. And it gives me a reason to follow players through their careers and stay interested in the game. And it's fun. Definitely not super serious stuff by any stretch.
