College Scouting...

The wrinkle that made this particular dynasty league irresistable is the fact that it has a college draft every August where you can pick 2 college players to reserve on a taxi squad. You can then follow these players through the college season and hope they develop into future high NFL draft picks who you get to keep without using a rookie draft pick on them in the spring. I have pick #4 and #21, so in this post I will rank players #1-21 along with notes and links to video. I will also keep a list of prospects that just missed the cut so I can track them for future consideration.
