Tick tock goes the draft clock

I thought of you this morning, Steelers fans. My son's daycare is doing a school-wide parade today with each of the classrooms dressing up as a group/animal/theme. Our son's class will be marching as a group of bees (taking bets on whether or not our son will leave his bee tentacles on his head for longer than 3 seconds) so all the kids was asked to dress in their best yellow and/or black. As I dropped our son off I noticed one kiddo rocking the mini Steelers jersey and thought that was a nice nod to NFL Draft season as well. Kudos, parents, kudos. Anyway, we are indeed getting down to crunch time here: the NFL Draft is nearly upon us. Somehow I'm traveling again this weekend, which makes it the 3rd or 4th draft in a row that I've been on the road...but at least I've got plenty of time on Thursday night to take it all in. If you want to live chat with other draft fans, head on over to Dynasty League Football's chat on Thursday or Friday night. Now let's t...

Heavy helping of 2012 Draft links and beyond

Greetings, fine readers. Once again I feel the need to apologize for my disappearing librarian act here. My mom had major back surgery a few weeks ago and I just spent some time back in Virginia with her to try and lend a hand as she slowly, slowly gets back to normal. Anyway, I know we're coming up on the draft and we've got lots of good material out there related to the Draft and just the 2012 season in general. So gear up, time for some Friday links... First up, here are a few draft-related links: FantasySharks.com has a quick and dirty overview of each position and players to keep an eye on - 2012 NFL Draft Guide . ProFootballFocus.com's Tier 1 and Tier 2 Draft Dynasty Prospects Rotoworld's Draft 2012: The Wide Receivers   Several links with IDP material: ProFootballFocus.com's Pre-draft 2012 IDP Player projections I'm a big fan of IDP Guru's 2012 Every Down Linebackers - an ongoing and evolving list of three-down guys who you'll really ...

Ramping up the 2012 fantasy football advice

Happy spring, my football friends. It has already hit 85 degrees several times here in east Tennessee, the Masters is over, and NFL Draft Day talk is really ramping up. Ahh, April, I do love you. I've got a handful of links for you today and hope to be back around on a more regular basis starting in the next few weeks. As the 2012 season speculation begins, Razzball.com's Who to Follow for Fantasy Football Advice on Twitter is a solid, helpful piece. You'll see some Rotoworld names but also some less mainstream dudes/chicks as well. Definitely found a few people here that I didn't know about, which is always a good thing. Speaking of Rotoworld, Unfilled Voids scopes out the top 10 positions across the league that haven't yet been addressed yet (or have the Luck/RG3 speculation) and how exactly Rotoworld sees them fulfilling these needs.  Last week Mike Clay from ProFootballFocus.com introduced a new stat: Average Depth of Target . Per Clay's article, it tru...
