Great resource.

Every year I seem to find a new draft tracker that I like and this is one I have definitely looked at and have found helpful. I like being able to click on a player and see what the particular analyst of that player feels his "strengths" and "weaknesses" are.

What I always like to find are charts showing a list of players and how a relatively large group of "experts" rate those players. If anyone has a link to one they like, I would be interested. If I find one, I will post it as well.

Notables:

-I love that he isn't narrow on Lamar Jackson: "Evaluating Jackson against the NFL standards for the position will cause him to come up short. However, he has rare speed and athleticism and can single-handedly win games." Currently the 2nd highest graded QB ahead of Mayfield and Allen, though he hasn't posted Rosen yet.

-He comps Barkley to Barry freaking Sanders.

-Big gap in his mind between Ridley and everyone else (7.04 grade on Ridley, next highest thus far is Petter is 5.89; Sutton at 5.84).

-No elite TE prospect posted to this point, but a pretty good number of quality ones.

-Not particularly high on any of the top tackles (Brown 6.2; McGlinchey 6.0; Williams 5.8).

-Out of player posted so far, it's Chubb and then everyone else at edge; he seems to be on the optimistic side regarding Landry; no Davenport report yet.

-He's sky high on Edmunds and really complimentary of Smith as well.

-He dings Ward over size pretty heavily; lists Fitzpatrick with the corners, but notes that he probably won't play a pure corner role.

-No Derwin James yet, but otherwise no highly regarded safeties.

Kolton Miller and Taven Bryan are really the only highly regarded guys that I'm currently aware of and see he hasn't graded yet. So this is a pretty complete list.

Notable discrepancies between him and Jeremiah:

• DJ ranks Davenport 8th, while LZ has him 45th.
• Mike Hughes is 16th for DJ and 43rd for LZ.
• LZ rates Ridley 6th, but he's 22nd for DJ.
• DJ has Jaire Alexander 23rd and he's not even top 50 for LZ.
• LZ believes that Da'Ron Payne is the 7th best prospect, while DJ rates him 24th.
• Rashaan Evans is LZ's #14 and DJ's #27.
• DJ has Christian Kirk #29 and LZ doesn't rank him top 50.
• Harold Landry is #15 for LZ and #39 for DJ.
• DJ rates Lamar Jackson #43 overall and has him as the 5th QB; LZ has him #23 as the 3rd highest QB grade.
• LZ has Darius Leonard rated #31 and DJ does not have him ranked.
