What's new
Recent platform updates — model retrains, data refreshes, methodology changes, UX shifts. The page to forward when someone asks “what changed since last week?”
Every major page now opens with a take
feature2026-07-28The board, team hubs, movers and position pages lead with a dated, written read — what changed, who moved, and why it matters — refreshed with every model run. The table is still there; it just doesn't go first anymore.
The house mock is on the record
feature2026-07-26Once a month the model publishes its own mock draft and freezes it — no edits, no retcons. Every pick carries the simulator's conviction at that slot, and every pick gets graded against the real draft in April. The July edition is live now.
Written scouting reports on every eligible dossier
feature2026-07-21Prospects with real signal behind them now carry a full written report — the verdict, the case for, the case against, sourced against the boards we track. Thin profiles wait until the data earns the prose; nobody gets filler.
Draft-order odds, tracked into the season
data2026-07-21Who really holds the No. 1 pick next April? The 2027 order page now tracks every team's slot odds — seeded from last season's standings today, taken over by real results once the games start in September.
Team target boards that tell the truth
research2026-07-19Every team hub's target board is now floored at draftable tiers and weighted by actual roster need — no more kickers padding a contender's list. If a name is on a team's board, the model can defend the fit.
Dead prospect URLs now say so
ui2026-07-19A prospect page that doesn't exist returns a real 404 instead of a blank page pretending otherwise — with a pointer to the player you probably meant. Transfers who changed schools now land on their current page.
We started grading the analysts
feature2026-05-30Drafttek nailed Saquon, Burrow, Ja'Marr and Kyler. Tankathon and Sporting News round out the top three. Every analyst we ingest gets a public hindsight grade — sort skill, top-32 hit rate, bust avoidance — with their best and worst calls on the record.
The consensus board now tells you where the room is wrong
feature2026-05-30Every comprehensive analyst board, weighted by 11 years of hindsight, with the model laid over the top. Verdict pills flag where Draftanomics parts ways with the room — model bet, model dissent, split room. The dossier shows you which writer had him where.
Highlight reels on every prospect, auto-pulled
feature2026-05-30We score YouTube channels on trust (PFF College, ESPN College Football, JD PicKell and the rest) and pull the three best reels per prospect. Jeremiah Smith, Ellis Robinson, Dylan Stewart, Arch Manning — clips on every top-30 dossier.
The 2027 and 2028 mock draft is live
feature2026-05-30Seeded from the 2025 standings — LV at No. 1, Tennessee No. 2, Cleveland No. 3 — until the real order lands. Run it, swap picks, trade up, watch the board fall. The model takes BPA-with-need from there.
Front-office records refreshed for the 2025–2026 hiring cycle
research2026-05-26Seven teams' active general managers updated: NYJ (Mougey), TEN (Borgonzi), JAX (Gladstone), LV (Spytek), MIA (Sullivan), ATL (Cunningham), and MIN (Brzezinski, interim) — keeping the draft record attributed to the people who actually made the picks.
32-team scheme matrix verified for 2026 coaching staffs
research2026-05-25Every team's offensive philosophy, defensive base, coverage shell, and edge archetype manually verified against current head-coach and coordinator hires.
Hub-page navigation overhaul
ui2026-05-25Tabbed prospect dossier, team hub, class summary, and track record. Breadcrumbs everywhere. Research drawer (⌘+/) surfaces methods + glossary contextually.
Tier model rebuilt without eight leaky features
model2026-05-22An audit found eight inputs that quietly leaked post-draft information into training — the model was grading with answers it shouldn't have had. We removed them. Its accuracy dropped, honestly, and the honest number is the one we publish. Receipts on /track-record.
Bust probability now comes from per-position models
methodology2026-05-22Eleven position-specific bust models, each shipped with a confidence range and a plain label for how accurate that position's model has been historically — so you know which calls to trust and which to take with judgment.
A flag for prospects the room can't agree on
research2026-05-19A new signal that combines how far the model sits from the analyst boards with how much those boards disagree among themselves — surfacing the prospects whose evaluations genuinely split the room.
