Summary: Fanball stands out with its mock drafts and great player detail section, providing insight into the drafting of players. While the articles could have been stronger, Fanball more than made up for it and stood out with some great features.
Positives: Fanball’s mock draft was excellent, with solid commentary across the board. This magazine also excelled in its NFL team detail and player detail sections. An excellent statistics section rounded out this good magazine.
Negatives: The articles and features in the magazine could have been better, both in terms of content and execution. The expert consensus rankings were also fairly weak, and the magazine sometimes lacked general info.
