Purpose
2
I have done something very similar to this for 3 years now. This is meant to be an all-in-one, one-stop-shop, place to get an overview of any and every prospect in the Draft.

How to Use
4
Navigation: Use the tabs at the bottom of the sheet to navigate between the Big Board, different positional groups, physical cutoffs, and a consensus board from https://www.nflmockdraftdatabase.com/big-boards/2024/consensus-big-board-2024.
5
Sorting and Filtering: Highlight the area you wish to sort/filter and click the filter button in the toolbar at the top.
6
The Beast Link: You'll see that attached to each player name is a link to a PDF located on google drive. It is a private copy of The Beast so I can click any player and it will bring me right to their report. If you have a subscription to The Athletic and would like this funtionality, click on one of the player names, then request access and in the access message type the password for The Beast.

Methodology
8
Have a look at the Metric Breakdown Tab for what went into each player’s grade. Essentially, the player’s grade is made up of their percentile rank in each of those metrics, weighted according to correlation models I have done. This “Data Grade” is then averaged with a grade derived from Dane Brugler’s player grade, which can be found in The Beast.

Dane Brugler and The Beast: What I did here would not be possible without a “film grade” to keep everything in check. Most Pro Day data is from The Beast.

Alex Katson: The best spreadsheets in the game. From declarations, to bowl game invites, to Pro Day times. Alex is the best in the game and you should subscribe to his Patreon.

Matt Harmon and Reception Perception: Evaluating these WRs would be impossible without his RP data. It is worth the subscription 100x over.

16
RAS: Ras has its flaws, but it does a great job at painting that athletic picture.

18
Draftscout.com: My very early player lists always come from this site. It is invaluable.

Mark Jarvis: When I have a question about a player who didn’t test, or just in general, I go to him. Genuinely one of the best follows of draft twitter. The insight gained by reading his stuff is immeasurable.
