| 0:00.0 | Hey, everybody, welcome to another episode of Purple Insider, presented by Fandul, Matthew Collar here. |
| 0:27.1 | And on the show today, Chris Trapasso. |
| 0:29.6 | All right, Chris, the official draft analyst of Purple Insider and the new draftgradebook.com, which I've been playing with a lot. |
| 0:37.6 | Incredible resource. |
| 0:39.2 | You can click on any player, get historical comps, get all sorts of scouting reports going |
| 0:44.4 | back for many, many years. |
| 0:46.6 | It is incredible what you have built. |
| 0:49.0 | Just recently launched with draftgradebook.com. |
| 0:52.2 | So how about this, Chris? |
