For $21.95 you also get the RSP Post-Draft within 1 week of the NFL Draft and a subscription to the June-December RSP Newsletter!
- The RSP Post-Draft
- Updated Rankings based on Fit
- Team Depth-Chart Analysis
- The RSP Draft Cheatsheet: ADP-based analysis to help you find the sweet spot to draft RSP values
- Updated three-year rankings
- The RSP Newsletter (June Through December)
- Exclusive Training Camp Analysis for the 2022 Class

Writing two separate analyses allows me the luxury to weigh my rankings less on draft stock and more on talent. It means that the post-draft can deliver a greater focus on organizational fit, team depth chart analysis, the impact of free agency, and analysis of this rookie class’ short-term strategic value.
Once they see it, many of my first-time readers tell me they’d pay far more than $21.95 for the post-draft alone. However, they also come to me 2-3 years later to tell me that the Pre-Draft RSP holds its value for at least 3-5 years and they still use it often.
The RSP is bookmarked to access the bookmark in the .PDF see the photo below…

PS-If you’re like many of my new readers, you’ll ask yourself the same question they have: Why did I wait so long to buy this?
Been flipping through @MattWaldman’s 2016 RSP for most of the day. An absolute must-own for any draftnik. Very thorough, detailed work…Frankly, I”m made at myself for only starting this year.

matt's meticulously-defined process has been the biggest influence on the development of my own film-charting process, and the breadth and depth of the info and analysis shared in the RSP is unmatched. i bought one, and if you like learning about football players, so should you https://t.co/LKlyURLIWn

Best pre-draft scouting report on every conceivable guy [at the skills positions] is by @MattWaldman. Very good read — mattwaldman.com.

Bought my first RSP rookie guide.. Im floored with the amount of analysis, detailed information provided. This is not a guide. This is a 26 volume encyclopedia analysis of all the rookies in this draft! Great work. Consider me an annual buyer. Thank you sir.

Purchased the RSP by @mattwaldman for the first time. Lots of “holy ___’s” were said in an empty house. Incredible work.

An absolutely invaluable resource for any stats nerds like me who would rather rely on trustworthy expert others to do their tape-watching for them. https://t.co/0o4l6oRfdx
