Links to all essays, analysis, Senior Bowl coverage, and scouting reports about 2017 NFL Draft prospects come from research I undertake to write the Rookie Scouting Portfolio Publication. Now in the 12th year of publication, the RSP is the best of both worlds: a summarized magazine of reports, rankings, and analysis that also shows its work at the back of the book. It covers at least 150 skill position prospects and is available April 1.
