February 11 is fast approaching and I can’t begin to tell you how excited I am to get rolling with the 7-round mock draft and top 300 Big Board.
So much of the last month has been spent building and promoting this site, so I wanted to take a minute today before we go live next week to update everyone on where things are at and what’s coming next.

So…what’s next? Writing has always been my favorite part of this job and I can begin publishing content for you guys in a little over a week. As I’ve mentioned in the past, this first wave of content will be free for everyone, but that (unfortunately) won’t last long.
The goal of The Draft Scout is to provide premium content and community events without pop-up ads, auto-play videos or annoying distractions. You’ll never see an ad on this site as long as there is a community of subscribers to support it. So, with that in mind, content here will eventually go behind a pay wall.
With that in mind, here is what’s next:
Post-Launch Schedule:
February 11 — 7-round Mock Draft / Mock Q&A Day
February 15 — Top 300 Big Board w/positional rankings
February 16 — Scouting Notebook (rumors, news, notes) relaunch
February — Best prospect scheme fits (best prospects for each trait)
That’s it. Thank you for being here. We’re excited to have you.

Will you give a break down of the teams each prospect would fit best in?
Will the Big Board have deep dive scouting reports or just the player rankings?
