DraftCountdown
Online/Digital
Hi! I’m Scott Wright and I love the NFL Draft. I have often been told that my passion is clearly evident when I speak about the draft and I consider that to be a great compliment.
I am extremely proud of what I’ve been able to achieve as an independent NFL Draft analyst over the course of almost two decades. Throughout the years this site has come to be respected as one of the most accurate in the industry.
Not only do I consistently finish near the top of the standings in the trusted, invitation-only Mock Draft and Top 100 contests run by “The Huddle Report” but I’ve actually won both.
I am also a member of The Football Writers Association of America (F.W.A.A.) and have been fortunate enough to cultivate relationships with colleagues and sources from every aspect of the football world.
NFL Network USA Today New York Times
ESPN Radio Fox Sports Radio Forbes
NBCSports EA Sports About.com Readers Choice Award for "Best NFL Draft Web Site"
I started what would ultimately become DraftCountdown.com as a hobby in high school in 1997. I never could’ve imagined it would become one of the most popular websites of its kind or that it would lead to me appearing on television, radio and in print all across the country. Source

Search ArticlesDoes Football Have a Quarterback Development Problem? Examining the 2027 NFL Draft Class - NFL Draft Countdown
You know we're in the midst of the NFL Draft cycle when we have the annual conversation about criticizing quarterbacks. I'm not kidding, either. Every year we have the same conversation. However, we also seem to be in the same situation every season. Quarterbacks that are at the top of their recruiting class, or the top signal-caller as decided by draft analysts, seem to fall down the draft board. Rather than having the same old conversation this year, I wanted to look at the issue as a whole.
