I have been a Patriots season ticket holder long before the Krafts bought the team...and your great players guide will come in handy as they start to become more competitive...I hope Drake Maye is the first of many...
Rich S., Guildford, CT, 04/26/2024

Thanks Peggy - you and Dan produce the best sports publication on earth!
Greg C., Seattle, WA, 04/22/2024

Read the PDF version and it was worth the wait. One of your best draft guides in a long time. Great information and well written. Quality work!
Bernardo E., Miami, FL, 04/19/2024

I look forward to this day every April. Your publication hands down is the best in the business. I wish you would put together a preview for MLB season.
Anthony R., Jacksonville, FL, 04/04/2024

Every year we look forward to receiving the Ourlads draft guide and the Review. We are die-hard Ravens fans and spend a good deal of time pouring over the Ourlads Draft guide and the Ravens draft picks! We think you put out the best Draft Guide around!
Byran D., Shamong, NJ, 03/07/2024

I have had Draft Digest, Frank Coyles, Mel Kipers,and others, but yours is the only one I use anymore. I am 70 years old, and football season is my happy time, and your publication makes it seem like I am part of every teams front office.
Mike H., Grantville, PA, 01/13/2024

I can't tell you how delighted I am to look forward to another year of your fabulous reports. I have been a fanatical NFL fan for 74 years (since the 49ers joined the NFL) and I have not enjoyed any publication relating to the NFL more than yours.
John E., Toronto, Ontario, 12/19/2023

Been ordering your great reviews since 1994. Thanks team. Keep up the good work. Look forward to 2024 with ya'll.
Gary H., Gilmer, TX, 12/16/2023

Thank you for continuing to publish. I always look forward to the scouting publications like a kid on Christmas. I wish you all good health for your reports bring me information I can't get anywhere else. I refer to them all year round. I would feel empty if they were not there. Thank you so much.
James F., Bronx, NY, 12/09/2023

I wanted to express my appreciation for holding the annual mock draft contest. To say I enjoy participating would be an understatement. My husband razzes me about participating because he thinks there are too many variables to predict the outcome. I view it like putting a puzzle together. Bottom line, I have fun and enjoy the challenge. Thank you for the monetary prize, a chance to compete, and putting out a good draft guide. All the best.
Lou B., Painesville, OH, 07/05/2023

As a long-time subscriber, I say "Thank You!" Simply the best and most accurate publication in the business.
Mark Z., New Berlin, WI, 04/10/2023

I've been subscribing for years. Ourlads is terrific and has been since Day 1!
Peter S., Bonita Springs, FL, 03/05/2023

Long time subscriber. Appreciate all your hard work as one of the best draft sites and team sites on the internet!
Scott B., Cave Creek, AZ, 01/20/2023

Your guide is an essential part of my draft preparations. Have been a long-time subscriber back to when it was you, Kiper, and Buchsbaum - keep up the great work!
Scot W., Cashton, WI, 12/21/2022

Thank you so much. All the draft publications I used to subscribe to are all gone except for your guide and review. Without your guide and review (especially the trade transactions) I would be lost in comparing how teams have fared in using the draft.
Jim F., Bronx, NY, 12/16/2022

OurLads is the best and my go-to site since I first came across it 10 years or so ago. I'm really grateful that it's not a for-pay service to see the updated depth charts anymore too, thank you for that. I know the pride that OurLads takes in what you guys do.
Jim D., New York, 08/22/2022

I wanted to thank you and your organization for helping facilitate a common passion and interest my dad and I shared. We both anxiously awaited the delivery of your guide and often would call each other and see if we received it yet! The draft will not be the same without him but I will hopefully remember all the good times we shared over the past 45 years of drafts.
Andrew O., Australia, 06/20/2022

I’ve been a customer for over 30 years now. Way before the Draft has gotten to where it is today. I kind of miss the old days when it wasn’t as GLAMOROUS as the NFL has turned it into but I still LOVE it. It’s a sickness lol. I always love Ourlads the best. Thank you for the years of great work.
Jim P., Lanoka Harbor, NJ, 04/18/2022

Each year I purchase several different publications on the drafts but I think Ourlads is the best by far. I hope you continue to publish it in the future.
John T., Oxford, CT, 04/16/2022

Thank you for this year's issue. I was not aware of Dan's health issues. I just wanted to send you both a quick note to say how much I have always enjoyed Ourlads newsletters, draft guides, website and podcast interviews. One time when I was phoning in my subscription request, I recognized Dan's voice and wound up having a wonderful 10 minute conversation about football, my beloved Buffalo Bills (who had just hired Sean McDermott-and of course Dan knew him when he was just an intern for the Eagles) and the upcoming draft. I will always treasure the time Dan spent talking to me. I will continue to promote Ourlads to all my friends and I wish Dan a full and speedy recovery.
Kevin O., Wells, ME, 04/13/2022

Believe me it's so refreshing to come across someone as straight up as you folks. Take care and God bless!
Gary S., Aiea, HI, 03/01/2022

My dad subscribed for many years. He passed away and now I'm carrying the torch for our family. Thank you - reading your guide together was one of our family moments every year prior and during the draft.
Russell A., Staten Island, NY, 02/28/2022

Who in their right mind would want to miss receiving your wonderful Draft Guide!
Julian G., Atlantic Beach, NY, 02/27/2022

I've been getting your publication since 1990. It's my football fix leading up to the Draft - which I've attended in person 11 times.
Tom T., Plano, TX, 02/27/2022

Your October '21 Draft Preview for the 2022 Draft I've looked at over a hundred times already. I'm starving for more information!
Jim F., Bronx, NY, 02/23/2022

I must confess you made my day when the notice arrived that you will still be doing your draft reports for the 2022 draft. As a fanatical US College & pro football fan for over seventy years I don't know that I have seen a better series of draft reports than those that you have consistently produced. Keep up the great work!
John E., Toronto, Canada, 02/19/2022

I've been purchasing your draft guide for years. So long that I actually do not remember how I first heard about your draft guide. I do very much enjoy it! Thank you so much for creating such a wonderful product!
James B. , Uniontown, OH, 02/17/2022

Lost my early guides when moving,but have every Ourlads' Guide since 1989. I treasure them like gold! I am 73 and my health is not good, so I hope my beloved Bills can finally give us a Super Bowl! Thank you!
Stephen K., Lancaster, NY, 02/17/2022

I have been an Ourlads' subscriber for 23 years! Keep up the GREAT work for us true football fans!!
Scott B., Cave Creek, AZ, 02/14/2022

I can't wait to get my hands on this year's guide, always the best in the business!
Bart C., Alberta, Canada, 04/12/2021

I am a proud and devoted 10-year customer. Looking forward to this year's edition.
Haran K., Sicklerville, NJ, 03/17/2021

I am wearing out that NFL free agent list in the back as players sign here and there...really handy..I really appreciate Ourlads'. Your publication is a truly professional resource.
George, Los Angeles,Ca., 03/17/2021

I’ve been getting your products for over 15 years. Kind of a right of spring, once we get a few warm days it’s time to place my order.
Bernard, Boalsburg,Pa, 03/10/2021

I've been a subscriber since the mid-80's, so how I heard about Ourlads is not only a mystery but probably irrelevant at this point! Looking forward to another exciting "business season" in the NFL and wishing you a wonderful 2021!
Chris B., White Plains, NY, 03/02/2021

I've purchased your draft guide for over a decade and it's still the best year in and year out. Keep up the good work, thanks!
Billy F., North Wales, PA, 02/23/2021

Longtime subscriber. Always a pleasure to read Ourlads' Draft Guide! Thanks for the hard work. Dan is doing a great job on Twitter. Always insightful and on point! Best Regards!
Matthias F., Niedersachsen, Germany, 02/12/2021

I go waaaay back to the early days. I just bought a subscription for my buddy a few minutes ago. We used to read this religiously. He's in Maine, I'm in Florida, but we're both draft nuts. Great job!
James P., Bonita Springs, FL, 01/12/2021

I've been a happy subscriber for years and years...keep up the great work!
Steve R., Norwalk, CT, 12/25/2020

I've been a subscriber for about 20 years. I absolutely love your product and it keeps me the draft guru among my friends! Keep up the great work!
Geoffrey L., Williamston, MI, 11/11/2020

By the way, your product is amazing! I've loved it for years.
John E., Toronto, Ontario, 11/04/2020

Thank you so much for the work you do. Your coverage of the trades before and during the draft are invaluable to me because it's hard to get all the details as the trades happen on the three days of the Draft. I refer to your guides hundreds and hundreds of times throughout the year.
James F., Bronx, NY, 10/30/2020

After over 50 years of following the NFL and especially the NFL Draft, I am choosing to end my period as a "fan" of the NFL because of their choice to protest America. Therefore I will no longer need the draft analysis. Thank you for doing a fine job in evaluating the senior players over the years.
Jerry L., Bedford, TX, 10/30/2020

I am not only impressed by the outstanding products ,scouting and website at Ourlads' but the customer service is second to none. Any major company would be put to shame by the hands on customer service at Ourlads'. Keep up the stellar work on and off the field so to speak.
Edward, Marlton, NJ, 07/23/2020

Long time fan. Love your format and breakdowns.
Steve, Rairdon Lake, WI, 07/10/2020

I might also take this chance to thank you and the Ourlads' team for all the pleasure I have had from the excellent publications over the years.
Ian, Tasmania, Australia, 06/22/2020

Thanks again for the personal service, it’s greatly appreciated! And the guide's quality is second to NONE!
Bart C., Alberta, Canada, 06/03/2020

Thank you for sending me another Draft Guide. I was lost without it. I have been a loyal subscriber since 1991 and I also was a loyal subscriber to you and Dan's small college football preview newspaper. I was very excited when you and Dan became owners of Ourlads'. Keep up with the amazing work
Patrick M, Geneva, IL, 05/03/2020

I monitor your depth charts weekly for pro and college football and I find them to be more accurate than ESPN or Yahoo. Keep up the good work. Your site is a good resource.
TDJ, New York, NY, 05/02/2020

Thank you so much for your draft guide. Most of the publications I used to buy are not in book/magazine form any more. Not great on the computer so I can't thank you enough. I've been following the draft for over 50 years. Keep up the great work and stay in good health.
Jim F., Bronx, NY, 04/20/2020

Huge shoutout to @Ourlads_Shonka . Had an issue with the address for my NFL Draft guide and they went above and beyond to help me. 10th year in a row I've ordered their draft guide, makes the three day weekend that much more fun. Thanks again!
David, Las Vegas,Nev, 04/19/2020

Tremendous job on Draft Guide. Love the pre draft newsletter with the team mock drafts and draft board.
Ray, Elk Grove Village, IL, 04/18/2020

Follow Dan on Twitter. Thanks for the awesome content and tweets. My first order and couldn't be more excited!
Christopher T., St. Charles, IL, 04/17/2020

I used to purchase your guide back in the early 90's. Now Schefter tweet helped me rediscover you!
Rocco, Morris Plains, NJ, 04/15/2020

I've know about your product for over a decade. You guys appear on various sports talk shows both locally and nationally.
Kevin, Solon, OH, 04/13/2020

I hope this finds you well and healthy. I awoke with a start this morning fearing I didn't renew. There is no greater gift I can image today in isolation than receiving your Draft Guide in the mail. Literally Christmas at Easter! : Thanks for your good work and being a ray of sunshine in a gloomy time. Have a great day and holy weekend.
Tim W., Leawood, KS, 04/11/2020

I enjoy all your yearly content, but your draft guide is the best publication and look forward to reading every year.
Pat B., Toronto, Ontario, 04/11/2020

I am a long time Cleveland Brown fan. I discovered your Draft Guide 10 years ago and it changed my life. Thank you so much.
Brian, Cleveland,Oh, 04/08/2020

I've been a long time customer. Really enjoy the Draft Guide.
Joe T, Wheaton, IL, 04/04/2020

I have been ordering from y'all for years.Y'all do a great job!
Curtis, Many, La, 04/03/2020

I subscribe every year. Love the guide and send a few to my friends.
Ed, Stewartstown, PA, 04/03/2020

I’ve been a fan for a very long time now. And now with the virus and being quarantined at home the Ourlads Guide is more important than ever! It literally is going to be the only thing to look forward to in April.
Curt W., Somerdale, NJ, 04/01/2020

Dan and his team are the best! I've been a long time customer and have purchased your draft guides since the early 2000's and like fine wine it gets better with time. Keep up the great work - many thanks!
William F., North Wales, PA, 03/05/2020

Long term client and big fan of Ourlads'. Thank you for the awesome draft content.
Michael B, Senoia,Ga, 02/23/2020

Dan and his team have been doing fantastic for years - I have been a long term customer. Thanks!
William F., North Wales, PA, 02/14/2020

Returning customer. Love the draft books! They are great for watching the draft and great for helping decide what rookies to draft in my dynasty football leagues!
Joseph B., Depew, NY, 01/23/2020

Originally heard about Ourlads on John Murphy's show, One Bills Live in Buffalo. Also I bought this product last year. Exceptionally well done. Thanks for all your hard work.
Paul B., Lancaster, NY, 01/23/2020

Ourlads' NFL Draft Guide, A Draft Tradition.
Don, Montgomery County, PA, 10/24/2019

Have subscribed/purchased your scouting books for several years now, very impressed with your services!
Luke, Sturtevant,Wi, 10/07/2019

In this day and age of substandard customer service Ourlads stands above the crowd helping subscribers find their way. Peggy is a pleasant voice and is helpful in every way. Thank you Ourlads for the best Draft Guide and your customer service.
Allen K, Orlando, FL, 09/29/2019

Ourlads' has the world's best NFL and College depth charts along with being the front runner on all things Draft. 15-year subscriber.
Richard B, Charlotte,NC, 08/17/2019

Thank you for your exceptional level of service and concern for your customers!
Brian B., Dorset, United Kingdom, 06/27/2019

Some feedback from a loyal reader. Please don’t ever change, from your newsletters to your annual Draft Guide, the information you provide is second to none, especially here in Canada!!!
Pat B., Toronto, ON, 04/19/2019

I enjoyed last year’s @Ourlads_Shonka draft guide so I’m doubling up. A ton of content that seemed to stay away from the opinionated dribble that comes from the self appointed draft experts on Twitter. Plus, I’m excited to FINALLY not drool over the Qb section Jets Fan
@BNice80, New York,NY, 04/14/2019

Ourlads has the only draft analysis I trust. Keep up the great work, Dan and company.
Brad R., Cheektowaga, NY, 04/12/2019

Great Publication! I order and enjoy every year. Found online several years ago.
Joseph, Cambridge, Oh, 04/08/2019

Thirty plus year subscriber. Can't live without Ourlads'. My brother and I watch the draft together and study our Guide
Ronald T, Mt Laurel, NJ, 04/08/2019

Once again, thank you for all the work you do to bring sense and information to the annual NFL Draft. I can't imagine going through a Draft weekend without your publication on my desk. I am looking forward to finding this year's edition in my mailbox. Again, stay well and continue to provide your outstanding information for years to come.
Nick C., Philadelphia, PA, 04/08/2019

I have been a Draft hobbyist since 1978 and I found the best Draft publication out there-Ourlads. last year. I'm sick that I missed it for 3 decades. The scouts detail is unmatched. I guess it's better late than never.
Frank, Catawba,Wi, 03/28/2019

It's like Christmas Day - I really love your guide - the best ever!
Jeff F., Cassedaga, NY, 03/26/2019

Long time subscriber. You guys are still the best after all these years. Keep up the fantastic work!
William, North Wales, PA, 03/22/2019

My buddies in Buffalo, NY and I have followed the draft since the late 60s and for 25 years we have subscribed to Ourlads' You guys do a great job!
Jim, Tampa,Fla, 03/19/2019

Absolutely unbelievable how quickly Ourlads updates the free agency depth charts. Your team should be commended.
Peter, British Columbia, Canada, 03/14/2019

My son and I have subscribed for several years and it's a tradition to sit down together and watch the Draft with Ourlads. The Best!
Richard, Lawrence, KS, 03/10/2019

I heard about Ourlads from Norm Hitzges on 1310 KTCK the Ticket in Dallas. He's a fellow draft nerd and he touts your publication with glowing recommendations.
Shawn P., Ponder, TX, 03/08/2019

I have appreciated your work for years. Always top notch!
Michael M., Laverne, TN, 03/07/2019

I've used your guide for many years. It's by far my favorite.
Andy P., Aurora, CO, 03/02/2019

This will be my 20th year subscribing to OURLADS. Was hooked the first time I listened to the Lads on sports radio, many years ago. You have the best resource for any College or NFL fan to have, thanks for all you do!
Scott B., Cave Creek, AZ, 01/19/2019

Dan I find your talent evaluation better than anyone else out there. I have clients in the league who you guys were the only ones to list as having a shot. Will trust you guys till the day I die
Daniel J, From Twitter, 12/29/2018

I can tell how hard you work by your observations and detail. Ourlads is the best!
Alonzo L., Baltimore, MD, 10/31/2018

I've been subscribing for the past 5-6 years, this is the best football information I read all year...thank you.
Pat B., Toronto, Canada, 10/24/2018

Thank you so much for your draft information. Not a day goes by that I don't think of the NFL Draft. Your coverage of trades (in the Review) is vital and deeply appreciated.
James F., Bronx, NY, 10/20/2018

Keep up the good job. The Packers are in need of OLB or DE (no tweeners) that can pass rush. Also an OT with a nasty streak. I want to be the first on my block to get the guide!
Charlie D., Oshkosh, WI, 10/12/2018

Thank you for your response and concern. I love how your company offers such a personal service by the way. So refreshing!
Brian B., United Kingdom, 07/18/2018

Dan Shonka and Ourlads' are clearly the best draft evaluators out there. Nobody had Baker Mayfield and Saquon Barkley as the two top players since August of 2017. Ourlads' had the top grade second round on Dak Prescott when he came out. PFF had him as a free agent. As a 10 year subscriber. I've heard them all and seen all the draft books. Ourlads' has no peer.
Alex, New York, NY, 07/15/2018

I'm really looking forward to reading up on all the teams and all the moves that were made. Love the service and job y'all are doing. Ourlads is the only place I will spend my money to get all my football information. Y'all are doing a hell of a job. Keep up the good work!
Michael M., Green Bay, WI, 07/09/2018

I have been a long time subscriber to Ourlads' and I just wanted to let you know that you guys are the absolute best. I have subscribed to every draft book out there over the years and picked them up off the newsstand. None are close to the pro caliber information you provide. Thank you for your hard work.
Mike, LaVerne,TN, 06/21/2018

Thank you again for another great publication this year. You guys are the gold standard and I have been getting your issues since the early 2000’s when i worked for a radio station in Buffalo and now currently just for my own fun.
Chris, Buffalo,NY, 04/30/2018

My father had a subscription for about 20 years. Sadly, he has passed now, but along with missing him I miss Ourlads.
Kathleen B., Chalfont, PA, 04/23/2018

Thank you for the courtesy of mailing the draft material even though I forgot to enclose the check with my order. That's customer service - a forgotten art. You make the organization look like a paragon of customer service! Check is enclosed this time!
Arthur C., Woodland Hills, CA, 04/17/2018

I really appreciate the follow-up, your service, and Ourlads overall, has been so great over the years. Again I can’t thank you enough for your extra efforts in accommodating us.
Mike V., Avon, OH, 04/14/2018

Dan, You and your team are still hands down the best!
Bill, North Wales, PA, 04/09/2018

I've been getting it for 15 years. It is the best draft guide in the world, there's nothing like it!
Raymond D., Braintree, MA, 04/07/2018

You guys kick butt! Best draft guide bar none!!!!
Paul C., Plant City, FL, 04/06/2018

I used to get Mel Kiper's guide before he quit doing it, but your scouts are much more thorough with their analysis.
David F., Pittsburgh, PA, 04/04/2018

Ourlads' gives me hours of enjoyment. I appreciate all the work. It's the best guide ever!
Mark A., Miami Beach, FL, 03/09/2018

One day I’ll get there and eat at St.Elmo’s along ways away from Calgary! Ourlads has been in my house since 1989! THE BEST draft guide out there and always has been!
Bart C., Calgary, Canada, 02/28/2018

I am enjoying the set up you have for your mock but even more enjoying the rest of the website. You guys do good work.
Ryan, Los Angeles,Ca, 02/25/2018

My father is 93 years young and he just loves your stuff!
Bob S., Grosse Pointe Farms, MI, 02/21/2018

I'm a former Navy Seal and just got out of five months in the hospital. I used to buy several draft guides but yours is the best draft guide I have seen in 25 years!
Daniel K., Mt. Pleasant, PA, 02/21/2018

I ordered your guide for the first time last year and loved it. I was very pleased and especially loved the draft board in the April newsletter!
Martin G., Woodbridge, NJ, 02/15/2018

I want to congratulate you for what I consider the best NFL Draft guide in the market. Really a phenomenal job.
Enrique M., Madrid, Spain, 02/12/2018

You guys do a fabulous job. Keep up the great work!
Brian J., Boynton Beach, FL, 02/12/2018

Where do I begin? Love your draft info. In particular I really like your perspectives/trends in the Review. I must refer to that hundreds of times. Enjoy your opening line telling where the player is from. Also think your draft board insert is the tops. Thank you, thank you so much. Hope all of you enjoy good health so you can do your wonderful work for many years to come.
Jim F., Bronx, NY, 01/16/2018

I have been a long time subscriber, ( 18 years ) and I believe your newsletters, draft book and web site is the best for any fan of the NFL, and now adding the NCAA depth charts has been a fantastic addition to the web site.
Scott, Cave Creek, AZ, 07/19/2017

Just a short note to let you know that I keep the Draft Preview, Draft Guide and Draft Review by my chair when I watch games on Sunday,Monday and Thursday. Nobody describes the NFL talent better than Ourlads"
Mark, New York, NY, 06/22/2017

Shonk, you out did yourself with the 2017 Draft Guide. Tremendous work Tell Peggy she won again. Great work.
John, Dallas,Tx, 05/02/2017

I recently purchased the 2017 Guide to the NFL Draft. First time purchase. It is FANTASTIC, I love it.
Mark, Waunakee, WI, 04/20/2017

I received my Draft package yesterday, and I spent last night going throughout it and enjoying the wonderful information it contains. Apparently, your group has created another masterpiece
Nicholas, Philadelphia, PA, 04/19/2017

I have subscribed for many years now...looking forward to another year of great analysis!
John P., Orchard Park, NY, 03/24/2017

Every time I see the Draft tables, Ourlads' is on there - you're the best!
Craig M., Ft. Myers, FL, 03/17/2017

Repeat customer. Love the guide. Most comprehensive draft periodical around!
Richard F., Ishpeming, MI, 03/08/2017

Long time customer now - love your work! Keep up the good work.
William F., North Wales, PA, 03/06/2017

I live in Canberra, Australia and for around the last fifteen years I’ve developed a passion for following and watching NFL. It is not uncommon for me to get up at 3 am on a Monday morning to watch live games (due to the time difference) much to my wife’s bewilderment. One of my favorite traditions every year is to take time off work to watch the NFL Draft from beginning to end, however, as I’m so removed from college football I rely on publications such as yours for my knowledge of college players. Thank you for your consistently excellent publications.
Grant B., Australia, 02/25/2017

Thank you so much for your service. The NFL Draft has always been my favorite poker game!
James F., Bronx, NY, 01/28/2017

Tom Hepler and Jim Sabo started a good thing - I have received your guide for many years. I really like it and have seen the Ourlads' guide in the Green Bay war room when coverage shows them on Draft day. Keep up the good job!
Charlie D., Oshkosh, WI, 01/27/2017

I took your draft guide to the draft in Chicago and showed it off. Hopefully it will generate some new subscribers!
Michael M., Denver, CO, 10/15/2016

I received the second copy of the Draft Review today. I had already received one so I am returning the one you just sent. That's why I love doing business with you guys because you do things right. Thank you for being true to your customers!
Manuel M., Susanville, CA, 08/19/2016

Great news - the guide came in today's mail. Thanks for the great service.Now I can sit in my yard on Saturday listening to the blues, enjoying a nice cigar, a couple of cold Labatt's Blues, reading Ourlad's and doing my mock draft--!!
Jim S., Ruskin, FL, 04/20/2016

I read 1/3 or so of the guide last night and it's great- always really liked the meat of write-ups but those final few words "the skinny" as I call it, really makes it!!
Steve R., Norwalk, CT, 04/16/2016

You have done an great job on scouting and getting info out, very impressed!!, one of best I have seen in years, have been a Steelers fan since 1972, when Franco Harris got drafted and have been avid fan, of them as well have my insights as well for talent, over years guess hobby and passion . I used to get pro football weekly for years, with Joel Bushbaum , Consolidated draft reports,as well Mel Kiper since he came out with publications, but you have better eye it seems , so compliments,,,
Franco, Toronto, Ontario, 03/19/2016

It just wouldn't be an NFL draft without Ourlads'. The best ever!
Craig, Fort Myers, FL, 03/17/2016

Ourlads' Draft Guide is the most informative NFL draft book than any on the market. You can tell that you guys are real scouts and write like scouts. I'm glad we found your Guide last year, my brother and I will be lifetime subscribers. Thank you Ourlads'.
David, Pittsburgh, PA, 03/17/2016

You guys are absolutely the best, no one else comes close!
Jeff M., San Antonio, TX, 03/16/2016

Long time Ourlads' Subscriber. Two thumbs Up!
William, Winchester, MA, 03/16/2016

I have been a loyal client for years. I could not enjoy my football without Ourlads!
Bob E., La Crescenta, CA, 03/15/2016

Longtime subscriber. As a "draftnik" I appreciate the hard work you put in to produce this "Draft Bible"!
Matthias F., Germany, 03/13/2016

Last year I ordered the Guide to the NFL Draft. I found out it was endless to the information on all the players. No doubt it was the very best!
Mark Z., Black River Falls, WI, 02/24/2016

I heard about your product on a sports radio broadcast about 15 years ago. I've been enjoying your newsletters, guide, and review/preview every since. The guide is my Christmas present in April! Keep up the great work!
Geoffrey L., Williamston, MI, 11/01/2015

Thank you so much! I called to ask for a replacement copy of the Guide for my dad who is in the hospital. Someone took it from him while he was there, I needed expedited shipping so he would have it in time. You were so nice and accommodating. The fact that you sent it without payment for postage speaks volumes about the culture of your company. May your kindness be returned to you many times.
Jane R., Fort Lee, NJ, 05/01/2015

This the class of the Guides...now I'm ready for the 2015 NFL Draft!
Jason G, Omaha, NE, 04/28/2015

Thank you for all the work the lads put into the Guide. It is the best resource for us Draft/NFL fans.
J.Scott, Cave Creek, AZ, 04/27/2015

I am looking forward to receiving my copy of your 2015 report. Ourlads' is truly my go-to source material for the draft. It is prominently on my desk as I watch the draft so I can determine if my favorite team is getting value with their pick and how that prospect fits with the team. I thank you for all your hard work in compiling this information and wish you good fortune in the future.
Nicholas, Philadelphia, PA, 04/24/2015

Between my wife, my girl friends and Ourlads' I am having a great retirement. Love the Newsletters, Draft Review and Fall Preview too! The Best!
Aaron, Scottsdale, AZ, 04/09/2015

I really like your guide and look forward to reading it and savoring the words every year.Can't wait.
Michael, Alameda,Calif, 04/08/2015

Thank you for entertaining my husband - he loves Ourlads!
Jana, St. Charles, MO, 03/30/2015

Longtime subscriber from Germany! Despite the internet, NFL Network, and/or other media, I am happy that you still keep grinding and doing the hard work - to produce the best draft magazine in the whole business. Thanks and best regards!
Matthias, Germany, 03/26/2015

Great guide - I can't tell you how much I love it. Par Excellence!
Mark, Boston, MA, 03/18/2015

I've been a subscriber for years. Ourlads is nothing but the best. Keep up the good work.
Howard, Oshkosh, WI, 03/12/2015

I'm a big fan of your website, especially your NFL depth charts, which I have found to be the most reliable and up to date on the internet.
Dave, Cincinnati,OH, 03/10/2015

I first heard of Ourlads' around 30 years ago on WBEN radio here in Buffalo, NY. I have every issue since then. I would like to thank Peggy Shonka for sending me another guide after my copy disappeared at the Buffalo Bills' draft party last year. Thank you. You have the best guide for the football draft!
Stephen, Lancaster, NY, 03/06/2015

Thank you for enclosing a copy of the 2015 Ourlads' Preview with my order this year. I thoroughly enjoyed it! The newsletters are very informative. I'm already very happy with your service and can't wait for the upcoming newsletters and guide.
Darren, Trinity, FL, 02/03/2015

I just want to compliment you folks on the wonderful job that you do. I have bought many other draft publications over the years but none of them hold a candle to Ourlads. I keep all the old guides and often refer back to them. Keep up the great work!
Herbert, Ringoes, NJ, 02/02/2015

Glad you are honest and on top of things. Truly appreciate your business and the way you conduct things.
Stephen, Smyrna, DE, 01/15/2015

Ourlads is the best ever. Great job! Best draft info out there!
Michael, Warren, OH, 10/15/2014

I'm looking forward to receiving the 2014 edition of your publication - the finest of the draft publications available on the market. The information you provide supports my own research and helps me better understand why certain players are selected when they are and how they fit into a team's scheme and how to properly value a player. Keep up your excellent work!
Nick, Philadelphia, PA, 04/29/2014

I had the pleasure of talking with you a couple of weeks ago. I want to repeat my compliments to you people for a fine publication - simply the best in the business.
Lee P., Venice, FL, 03/13/2014

I received your publication for many years. I switched to Mel Kiper as my brother got yours and we could compare. I always liked your guide. Kiper is online only now. I am glad to be back - it's not easy to take the computer in the restroom, etc.!
Charles D., Oshkosh, WI, 03/08/2014

Long time follower, love the accurate depth charts. Draft analysis is uncanny.
John B., Carmel, NY, 03/07/2014

Have purchased your guide previously. I believe it is the most complete guide out.
Timothy G., Quinnesec, MI, 03/06/2014

I'm a previous subscriber many years ago. I am thrilled that a print guide is still available. So convenient, unlike internet mush.
James K., Miami, FL, 03/02/2014

Ourlads' is by far and there is no question that you guys are the best. Good details. I appreciate all your work. Long time subscriber.
Lee, Venice, FL, 02/18/2014

What really impresses me is yours is the only guide I ever see on draft tables of the different teams.
Robert, Pembroke, NH, 10/25/2013

Have followed the draft for 30 years. I love how you do it. You do it right!
David, Dearborn, MI, 10/24/2013

First heard of Ourlads on WBEN radio about 30 years ago. Been a member ever since and proud of it!
Stephen, Lancaster, NY, 10/16/2013

One of your company reps was on a sports radio program explaining what you do and what products you offered. I subscribed about 14-15 years ago and have been hooked ever since. I can't wait to receiver your newsletters and your draft preview, but your pre-draft guide and draft review are simply outstanding.
Geoffrey, Williamston, MI, 10/13/2013

I must have Ourlads...I feel withdrawals coming...
Greg, Gainsville, TX, 10/03/2013

Just fantastic. Excellent work. Keep it up. I keep it year after year for pertinent information.
Herbert, Ringoes, NJ, 10/02/2013

Kudos on the new format of the Preview. I love it. It's nice and clean, well done!
Philip, Sarasota, FL, 09/26/2013

I am looking forward to receiving your latest report. I cannot imagine going through an NFL draft without your work by my side as my chief informational resource. Keep up the good work - I am a fan for as long as you continue to publish.
Nick, Philadelphia, PA, 04/02/2013

I'm a dedicated and longtime fan of Norm Hitzges of 1310, The Ticket in Dallas, Texas. I value his sports knowledge and he's stated and has made reference to Ourlads as where he supplements his draft information. Plus I heard Dan Shonka on the radio with him and he seems like a genuinely good-hearted guy.
Darrell, Arlington, TX, 03/20/2013

You are the best talent evaluators. Big thanks to Peggy, Dan and your entire staff. Always enjoy it!
Matthias, Niedersachsen, Germany, 03/20/2013

I've been talking up Ourlads to my friends since 1987. I'm buying the Guide despite the hurricane this year.
James, Lanoka Harbor, NJ, 03/18/2013

I continue to subscribe because of the best pro analysis of the players.
Eric, Bridgewater, CT, 03/18/2013

It is that time of year again. Time to order this year's draft bible. Keep up the great work. Ourlads is nothing but the best. and go Packers!
Howie, Oshkosh, WI, 03/12/2013

I first heard about you 12 years ago on sports radio in Kanas City. I have ordered yearly since then. Love what you do for us football fans!
Jerome, Cave Creek, AZ, 02/06/2013

I've subscribed for years. This is my spring time BIBLE
Michael, San Diego, Ca., 02/01/2012

Big Fan, Keep up the great work! Go Ourlads'! The Best!
Tim, Mission Hills, KS, 02/01/2012

My Husband is so romantic that he asks for his OURLADS' every year for Valentine's Day
Cheryl, Brookline, NH, 02/01/2012

I heard about Ourlads by word of mouth and have been subscribing ever since.
Richard, Santa Fe, NM, 01/12/2012

NFL mock reports on TV and just being an avid NFL fan is what drew me to Ourlads' NFL Draft Guide.
Eric, Marlton, NJ, 01/12/2012

As a 24-year subscriber I just wanted to pass on my congratulations for another informative Ourlads' Draft Guide.
David, Mt. Pleasant, UT, 01/09/2012

Have been ordering for the past several years and there is not a more professional NFL Draft Guide than Ourlads.
Randall, Moreno Valley, CA, 12/27/2011

My son subscribed for years and I borrowed his Ourlads’ NFL Guide. Now I subscribe for my own copy.
Robert, Highland Park, IL, 12/22/2011

Before I subscribed to Ourlads last year, I wasted 15 years subscribing to a well-known amateur. Think about it. Read an NFL scout's evaluation or read from an amateur that has never been on a team or in a draft room. My three friends and I are now are on the Ourlads' team.
Edward, Baltimore, MD, 12/20/2011

I have been buying the Guide for 25 years and will subscribe for 25 more, the good Lord willing.
Richard, Bayonne, NJ, 12/17/2011

I was referred by radio a few years ago and this is the only NFL Draft guide I purchase.
Dwayne, Frisco, TX, 12/10/2011

I heard about Ourlads on the ESPN Blog and always have been fully satisfied.
Jim, LaGrande, OR, 11/18/2011

You have a great product. It's like a birthday, anniversary, and Christmas all together when I get your stuff in the mail. Keep up the good work!
Herb, Ringoes, NJ, 11/08/2011

Really love it and have been a follower for many years.
Robert, Bronx, NY, 11/07/2011

I have been getting your outstanding reports for several years. Second to none.
Larry, Spring Hill, FL, 11/05/2011

Keep up the good work. As a long time subscriber your work is superior.
Williams, Dunnelin, FL, 10/29/2011

Keep up the great work. I love the guide, review, and free depth charts.
David, Bellmar, NJ, 10/05/2011

I heard about OurLads Scouting Services on a sports radio program in Michigan about 10-12 years ago. I have been a huge fan of your product ever since I started receiving it! I cannot do without OurLads. With my knowledge of NFL players, thanks to you, I've become the office guru on NFL talent and done great in fantasy football. I'd recommend it to anyone who is an NFL fan! I really look forward to your Guide and your post-draft assessment. No one beats OurLads for up-to-the-minute, comprehensive player profiles and team needs. The newsletters are chocked full of information too. Keep up the great work!! It is appreciated!
Geoffrey, Williamston, MI, 09/20/2011

Facebook and Twitter exposed me to the best NFL Draft information in America.
Greg, Apple Valley, MN, 08/10/2011

Keep up the good work. Your Draft Guide is far and away the best out there. I have seen and subscribed to everyone over the years and Ourlads is the only one I get every year. I started subscribing to "Ourlads Guide to the NFL Draft" when Brett Favre was a senior in college.
Kevin, Brandon, SD, 03/28/2011

Ourlads is one of the best two Draft Guides & I usually read it every day for 2-3 months.
Jeff, Cumberland, Md., 03/23/2011

I have been a customer for several years now and I love the NFL draft coverage you provide.
Steve, Santa Clara, CA, 01/23/2011

You guys do a great job! I really enjoy reading your material. It keeps me informed and helps me fill that dead time between the end of the season and the draft; and the dead time between the draft and the beginning of the next season. As a Cleveland fan, baseball season usually ends early (June or July). I like to decide who I would like to see the Browns draft and then watch who they actually do draft. Then it’s back to the guide to study who they drafted.
Jim, Uniontown, OH, 01/18/2011

I may be one of the longest standing original subscribers of OURLADS'.I recently celebrated my 76th birthday and I wanted to let you know that I have throughly enjoyed the best Draft Guide in America over the past 30 years. Trust me, I have tried them all and Ourlads Draft Guide is the best.
Don, Antioch, TN, 12/16/2010

Dan, thanks so much for checking for me. I truly appreciate it!!! Not only do you have the best draft publication on the market, you've got the best customer service as well!! That's why I keep buying your product. I think I started buying Ourlads in 1990! Thanks very much.
Bart, Calgary, AB, Canada, 11/05/2010

Love your format. There is no comparison on the market and I've had them all.
Morris, St. Petersburg, FL, 10/27/2010

I've been a loyal subscriber for 20 years! The best keeps on getting better.
Mike, Greenlawn, NY, 10/04/2010

I was on "injured reserve" last year, but I want to applaud what you do on your services. I also wanted to let you know that was a class act two years ago when you put Mr. Fitzpatrick on the back cover of the Guide. Continued success. Long time subscriber.
Robert, South Attleboro, MA, 09/30/2010

Ourlads is the best! Professionals writing reports for the common man.
Thomas, San Francisco, CA, 09/11/2010

I can't leave the country without re-upping my Ourlads' subscription. Keep up the good work.
Jay, Singapore, 09/08/2010

I've been a subscriber for 10 years and I enjoy your product very much!
Geoffrey, Williamston, MI, 09/05/2010

Your evaluations are spot on according to my long term records.
Charles, Indianapolis, IN, 08/30/2010

Love the way you evaluate the players and how they will fit into a team.
Julian, Atlantic Beach, NY, 08/30/2010

I am a long term subscriber to your draft guide – it's a great and fun source of information
Reginald, Lenox, MA, 02/16/2010

I use to be the Redskins' and Texans' rep at the Draft. My dad and I have always loved the Ourlads' Guide
Jim, Rockville, MD, 02/10/2010

Ourlads is the best draft publication out there and it keeps getting better
Dennis, Naples, FL, 02/10/2010

Been with you for years. Great publication!!
Goose, Deltona, FL, 02/04/2010

My uncle got me the newsletters back in '93 or '94. It was excellent! I still remember you guys had WR Jimmy Smith as a sleeper when no one else talked about him
Matt, Milwaukee, WI, 01/18/2010

I bought your 2008 Guide and it was outstanding. You've set the bar high for the draft scout wannabees
Greg, Dallas, TX, 01/10/2010

This is a birthday present for my father. I have been an Ourlads' and Cowboys' fan since 1989
Tony, Charlotte, NC, 01/09/2010

As a long time subscriber, yours is the only one with independent thought
Robert, Tampa, FL, 12/16/2009

I listen to you on WSCR in Chicago and love the Ourlads' Guide
Jack, Gurnee, IL, 12/10/2009

It isn't close. For one stop shopping, Ourlads' Draft Guide, depth charts, and newsletters are top drawer. Oh, I forgot – you have the most informative Draft Review book
John, United Kingdom, 11/16/2009

I have purchased the Ourlads' Guide for the past six years and I appreciate the "steak" that you bring to the table, not the "sizzle" others try to sell
Robert, Cleveland, OH, 11/15/2009

As a 22-year subscriber to the best draft publication in America, keep up the great work
David, Mt. Pleasant, UT, 10/20/2009

As a long time member, there is nothing compared to Ourlads and I've tried them all
Robert, West Hills, CA, 10/14/2009

I enjoy the Ourlads' depth charts, the most accurate and the best on the internet
Eduardo, Farmington, ME, 10/10/2009

Nobody out there has NFL scouts doing their evaluations. If you want the NFL you go to Ourlads
George, Toledo, OH, 09/20/2009

This is my 20th consecutive year ordering from the best draft publication, Ourlads
David, Indianapolis, IN, 09/20/2009

George Young coached me in school. I have been an Ourlads' fan for two decades and it keeps getting better
Regis, Baldwin, MD, 09/19/2009

Ourlads – I appreciate all your work over the years. Your competitors cannot hold a candle to your publication
Herbert, Ringoes, NJ, 09/16/2009

You put out a great product and I really enjoy it
Brian, Raleigh, NC, 09/16/2009

You should hold your Seahawk fan customers close, it hasn't been an easy existence. But being an Ourlads' subscriber for several years has given us something to look forward to every month.
Forrest, Kingston, WA,

I've subscribed to them all over the years, and Ourlads' is the only one I get year after year.
John, Foster, RI,

As a longtime Ourlads' subscriber, it's high time I told you that you're the best in the business.
Jeff, Newtown, PA,

Ourlads' is clearly the Bible of the NFL Draft. Thanks guys!
Paul, Dumont, NJ,

My sense is that Ourlads will only get better. Your new website and publications are phenomenal. As a certifiable college recruiting and NFL Draftnik - I rely heavily on your work. I find it accurate, unbiased, and extremely relevant. In contrast to other draft guides, Ourlads is devoid of distracting advertisem*nts. In short, I pay for an information service. In return I get information. Pretty amazing.
Edward, North Wales, PA,

I really appreciate your publications and your website. I will be renewing my subscription. I've also enjoyed listening to Dan Shonka during his Wednesday chats with Bill Lewis of KDUS radio, Phoenix. Hope to hear Dan next year with the 2006 draft.
Michael, Phoenix, AZ,

The various draft services tend to fall into one of two categories: evaluators vs. forecasters. Let me use Kiper and Ourlads to illustrate my point. Ourlads are evaluators. They (the lads) spread out and go to games. They are scouts. And they cover every all-star and bowl game and send us a running commentary on the many players. Post season is considered valuable because it's the best versus the best. And it shows more about the individual than regular season games do. I use Ourlads and other evaluators to tell me who WE should take. They don't focus on who we will take, but on who is best for us. That's why they will have a lower % of matches than the forecasters. But they give you the goods. Kiper is a forecaster. He does little actual personal evaluation of talent, relying on what he can glean from coaches, scouts, writers, players, etc. He compiles all of this with a wealth of stats and awards, etc. He, and other forecasters tell me who the OTHER guys are gonna pick. And he does a good job of doing what he does. And the Kipers will show a better % on the forecast stats. It's what they do. Two basically different functions, but both have their place.
Al, Austin, AR,

I have been meaning to throw you guys a compliment. I follow the NFL Draft and College Football very closely and watch about 30 hours of game tape a week, and frankly, with all of the websites I've visited I've been most impressed with Ourlads. It's not that I necessarily agree with everything, but more so because your people give a straightforward, honest opinion on players and don't just spew out homerish analysis or copy/paste from other publications. It's refreshing to be blunt. Keep up the good work. You guys have certainly helped me to clear many reference sites out of my favorites' folder that I used for depth charts and to get another opinion on a player I'm watching.
Matthew, Cincinnati, OH,

I really enjoy reading your scouting service information. It's an outstanding book on evaluating young prospects going into the NFL. Thank you!
Jemal, Tehachapi, CA,

As a long-time subscriber, I was glad to hear you on Mighty 1090. That station is heard by 10-15 million people. Coach John Kentera and "Philly" Billy Werndl (Ourlads' alumni) always have Ourlads on and it's great. Keep up your great work - Go Chargers!
James, Chula Vista, CA,

Enclosed is a check for the 2005 Draft Guide. Please keep up the good work. I think you do an awesome job. Maybe sometime in the future you could also publish a picture of some of the prospects along with their review. That is one feature I would enjoy.
Howard, Oshkosh, WI ,

I just received my 2005 Ourlads' NFL Draft in the mail today and I wanted to drop you a short note to tell you how much I enjoy your service. As a subscriber for the last 14 years, I've had the desire to tell you that I and my fellow draft experts consider your guide to be the best in the business. I devoured your current issue during my lunch break. I always enjoy comparing your picks with mine as to the actual picks made by the individual teams to see who got the most right. In either case, I will continue to purchase and enjoy your guide every year.
Stephen, Miami, FL,

I do like your books better than others I have seen. I used to subscribe to Palmer Hughes way back when. Then I would get the Pro Football Weekly Draft Preview, which was basically the work of Joel Buchsbaum. He had quite an eye for NFL future talent. After his untimely death, the ratings of the players have become very erratic. I like to look after the draft and then after the first season for the rookies and see how things went. Your evaluations are superior by comparison. I really like the guide overall and will continue to subscribe. Keep up the good work !
Tom, Alexandria, VA,

To all the great scouts at Ourlads' - received your Draft Scouting Guide - it is outstanding!
Ron, Dallas, TX,

I won't be at the 2005 Draft this year - got to have my Ourlads! Your work has no peer.
Keith, Falls Church, VA ,

As a sixteen-year subscriber to Ourlads', I appreciate your accuracy and authenticity.
Lawrence, Ridley Park, PA,

Ourlads' is a draft nut's dream. No fluff, just the facts.
Henry, West New York, NJ (21 year subscriber) ,

Ourlads' is the best draft company out there.
Edward, Philadelphia, PA (long-time subscriber),

I was a long-time College Football Preview subscriber and I first came across Ourlads' in 1988 in College Football Preview. Dan did a good job with that Preview - looking forward to Ourlads'.
Ron, Houston, TX,

I listen to Dan Shonka and Jim Sabo on The Score in Chicago. You can tell they study the tape.
Robert, Chicago, IL,

I'm a long time Raider fan and Ourlads' subscriber. There is nothing like it on the market. You hit about 80% of their choices.
Garry, Riverdale, MI,
