#1. Lindy's seems to be most respectable magazine out at newsstands.

#2. With Pro Football Weekly out of business, Nolan Nawrocki put out his book independently on Amazon (link). Looking at the preview, it has the exact same format as past PFWs.

#3. With Russ Lande not publishing his guide anymore, this guy seems to be a disciple (link)

#4. Don't know who Mike Loykos is, but here's the (link) for online only

#5. Ourlads

No, just a list of what I've seen out there.

There used to be 5-7 mags, but they've been going out of business, so I thought I'd just list what's still out there.

I see you bought Ourlads. I'm not a fan of their format.

Did you buy this and Lindy's?

I'm thinking they have the exact same content since they're both affiliated with the same sites.

They are pretty close but the Brugler guide is way more in-depth than the magazine. Close to a 1400 prospects.

Something fishy's going on...

These two guys' analyses are like 75% word-for-word verbatim. Do they work together and publish their own draft guide, or did one copy the other?

Compare Nawrocki's analysis of Devon Kennard compared to his.

I have a feeling this Jeff Curts guy stole Nawrocki's work as his own. Never heard of the guy.

If someone paid for this (~snicker~) they got a little ripped off.

That's what it looks like.

What kind of "testimonials" would a hack put on his site to sell his ripped off guide?

My question is, who buys this guys guide unless they are an avid draft fan and probably buys numerous? Why rip off a guy people know and will notice?

Lindy's guide is similar to Brugler's guide, but they have indirectly stated an association. Lindy's guide is majority word-for-word verbatim with Rob Rang's analysis on CBSsports.com, but there's a direct connection.

Possibly this guy works for/with Nawrocki in the same vein.
