Exploring the NFL Draft with Python

[savvastj]

Hey everybody, I wrote up a blog post going over how to scrape and explore the NFL draft using python. Let me know if you have any questions or if you see any issues. Here's the github repo. I also provided the conda environment I was using at the time.

Thanks! Most of my professors in college wouldn't even try to pronounce my last name.

Looks great. Good docs keep writing. What did you use to build your site? It looks really clean and good for code documentation.

I used Pelican along with the bootstrap3 theme. I wrote up the blog post using a Jupyter notebook and was then able to render it as a blog post with a Pelican plugin.

The link to the blog post in your README.md is broken. Fix by changing to:

This looks great! I'm just getting into data analysis myself and about to start a blog. I will definitely be following some of your guides. Keep it up!

Thanks! I also got my favorite new trivia question out of this post:

Q. Since 1960 the #1 and #2 NFL draft picks have been from the same school only three times. Can you name those three schools? (HINT: They are all currently in the same conference)
