You've told me what you want, what you really, really want, and it's to go back to 1997 -- a simpler time, with rankings you could reach out and touch.
The home printer market was booming, and the paper documents flowed like wine. It seemed like it would always be so, but evidently not. They're pretty hard to come by now, and yet, for a time like Draft Day, they seem like they'd be more convenient than fumbling around with a screen.
That's how I feel, anyway, and every year, you tell me I'm not alone. As soon as I release the first edition of Tiers, I'm inundated with the same question: When can I get them all on one printable page?
Well, the answer is now, in Version 4.0, just before the biggest draft weekend
Tiers, for those who don't know, are an alternate form of rankings that signal where the biggest drop-offs are at each position. Players whose impact is essentially the same are bundled together, revealing at a glance how many alike choices remain. With every position's tiers in hand, you can know during the heat of the draft which position to target next by identifying the one whose active tier is closest to depletion.
And now, every position's tiers can be in hand literally, provided you have a printer. This link will take you to a one-page document perfectly formatted for printing. Click on it and get to tubthumping.
As for those of you who prefer to stick to screens ...
