I'm starting this post with the hope of helping many others who wish to persue draft information and in the hope of creating a more “informed electoriate”, Because websites come and go and change, I'd like to assemble as many sites as possible that help us in the research of NFL draft prospects. I'm talking about sites that have useful information, rankings, profiles, big boards, scouting reports and all of that type of content, not just mocks drafts and very outdated information. Frequency of update is a concern, however most of the below sites update reasonably quickly. Included below are my go to sites, in no particular order. --Please add yours--
This first one (credit to post of Sea Mode over on Seahawks draft blog) is amazing in that it is a broad database of 2019 draft prospects, with their info, as it becomes avaiable, such as measurements, updated (just click on the underlined names). Additionally, there are live links to multiple game tapes for a lot of players. I find having this information & the linked tapes easily available is a big asset. Someone is obviously putting a lot of work into this and is sharing it. One stop shopping, many thanks to them.

FBS statistics can be found on this wonderful site. To find a particular player, click "players", select their school, which takes you to the alphabetical roster, scroll down to player to see current year stats. Select top header for previous seasons. Another very useful tool here is to click on "National" then select individual players performances by category, IE: rushing yards, sacks, TFL's, long receiving plays, etc.) This site has a lot of information on it. Explore and you will find plenty of useful information everywhere you look.

Another, handy quick look tool, just enter player's name, to get current stats and also career stats that saves you some time (over adding them up by season yourself). Quick reference tool. Mostly FBS players.
LINK: https://www.sports-reference.com/cfb/
FCS level statistics can be hard to find, if this site doesn't show enough, the next best alternative is to search for the player on google and/or on youtube. I'd start with this site, then dig further.

The "good old" site, drafttek is still a good site for positional rankings, big board rankings and overall general player information. They seem to update every 1-2 weeks or so, at least they don't limit their content to the top 50 or 100. Drafttek currently lists 396 prospects in their player rankings w/profiles.

Another site with full rankings, some profiles and mocks, they seem to have a large database and also have a lot of good information in their general content.
LINK: https://www.draftscouts.com//
A ranking site that is a shadow of it's former self, Currently they list their big board with only 100. That is not meant to dismiss the other good general information they provide (click home tab). This site used to be great, now, not so much.
LINK: https://www.cbssports.com/nfl/draft/prospect-rankings/
A respected general draft site with lots of content, however rankings are slow to be shown, lots of informative podcasts as well. Any scouting reports & player profiles found here are a plus due to the well earned respect for the "analyst".

The Huddle Report site has been around a while and has good content and good overall player information, they have lots of stuff here but rankings are currently slow to show up but will improve. A good site.

Easy to use site for finding information on players, including game films, simply enter a name.

Anyone else want to share your -go to- player evaluation & ranking sites? NOTE: I intentionally left out Walter football on this list 'cause I don't care for their add filled website and questionable football acumen from years past.
