2004 NFL Draft Preview
by Aaron Freeman
Welcome to my 2004 Draft Preview. Here is where I will have my evaluations of over 200 prospects for this year's upcoming draft. I don't claim to be an expert like some of the other draft-niks out there. This is a perspective by a fan for the fans. But I like to think that I've gotten pretty good over the last four years of doing this. Players are ranked based off value, not when I think the player will be selected. I have evaluations for most of the top prospects and many lesser known prospects, but I do not evaluate everyone you will see at other sites. That's most likely because I did not get enough sufficient tape to evaluate the player. Most of the evaluations come off a single tape, which was the players' bowl game.
