With the NFL Draft rapidly approaching (thus bringing an close to the endless months of draft prognostications), now might be a good time to point out all the draft resources we have available at Pro Football Reference. You can check out:

• Top 2016 NFL Draft prospects, along with links to their college stats on our sister site College Football Reference.
• The current 2016 NFL Draft order which features a look at past picks at each slot, best picks at that spot, and the average value that pick has produced over the years.
• The draft trade value chart, showing which picks each team has and their values based on the Jimmy Johnson draft point system
• Our draft play index tool, which can help you break down the draft using tons of criteria - want to find first round linebackers since 1970?
• Our trade finder tool which has trade data since 1994 - use it to find stuff like all top-2 picks traded since 1994.
• We have full team draft histories as well as year-by-year draft listings since 1936.
• We also have yearly breakdowns of drafts by positions picked. This chart also shows Approximate Value for players picked, so you can compare draft strengths.
• We have results from the NFL Draft Combine and Pro Days back to 2000. You can run customized searches like best 40 time by a QB or just look at lists of results for a particular draft.

Hopefully these are of some assistance to you as you're tuned into the draft wondering if your team is going to pick the next Peyton Manning or.. not.
