Oh there's so much draft goodness to link to today. I hope you all enjoyed the weekend full of draftiness and are ready for a whole series of updates below:
- First up, if you're looking for some draft recaps, try one of these articles:
- Try National Football Post's succinct Nine best 'bang for the buck' draft picks
- One of my favorites is Matt Waldman's 2012 Post-Draft Skill Player Impressions, Part I, which takes a team-by-team look at what each team is planning with their draft picks. Keep in mind that Part II/latter part of the alphabet is still to come.
- There are plenty of sites cranking out rankings:
- Fantasy Alarm's 2012 Post-Draft Rookie Rankings 1-15
- ESPN posted their top 200 players ranked with a smidge of commentary
- RotoExperts.com reviews the Top Five Rookie Values

- Rotoworld.com's Draft 2012: Impact Rookies
- Meanwhile if it's the undrafted players that you're interested in getting more info on, no problem. Yahoo's Shutdown Corner has us covered with The best undrafted players of 2012 - or scope out this link for the best undrafted defenders.
- To track those undrafted players, Dynasty League Football keeps us updated with their Undrafted Rookie Free Agent Tracker.
- In case you missed some of the analysis that came out last week once the schedules were released, this article from CBSSports.com does a nice job recapping and analyzing some schedule perks and pitfalls: Fantasizing about 32 schedules.

Sara,
Great stuff as always! It's been awhile since i've commented. I need your help! It seems like there are a TON of 4th and 5th and 6th round RB's this year. Have you noticed this too? Anyone doing analysis on diamonds in the rough of these middling RB's? Thanks!
Do you have any link that tells the standard deviation of a particular stat by position year to year? I have found lots of data on correlation but not a lot listing the standard deviation.
i.e. A runningback with 1000 yards last year correlates well (tends to repeat similar numbers with a correlation of .70. But I want standard deviation i.e. on average runningbacks standard deviation are 20% of last year's total or a flat number like 200 yards which tells you you can be 62.5% confident that a player with 1000 yards last year will get 800-1200 yards this year. The std deviation number I made up because I don't know it or how to calculate it!
