Patriot Reign?
 
Anybody read this book? I just finished it, and it was pretty good. It's about the last couple of Patriot's seasons. Pretty good read and pretty informative. I actually am going to try out some of the info about drafting in FOF and see how it works.

I haven't read it, but Micheal Holley has (or was) always been one of my favorite writers at the Boston Globe. He was the only writer with positive energy.

If you didn't know, he's a regular on I,Max now and better than the host, I think.

I don't have the book with me now, but I liked the way the Patriots grade players as they evaluate them. That's something I've been working on when I play. I used to just select a player, hit continue, wait until my next turn, then select, etc. Now, I'm spending more time before the draft looking at players, and trying to judge where they are going to go, and then going to get them. Basically, I'm just being more proactive.

They rate players in several different categories and for different roles. I think they cover it towards the end of the book, if you're in Barnes & Noble, pick it up and look through it. Or buy it, it's a pretty good book.
