So when you're looking to the guys that are still a little under the radar, A) they likely have less complete information (where they gonna get all that tape, especially if it's already pared down to relevant component parts so they can actually provide thorough review of the 200+ players they'll want to get eyes on) and B) A lot of them are just as full of shit as the next guy.
In wading through all those, it's just damn hard.
Mostly what I've started doing is a shotgun approach. I'll see snippets here and there, then I'll go look into them myself. But there's just not a holistic source worth a shit, IMO.
And I still think the KCSN guys lift our stuff. I'll never get over the Jabaal Sheard comp they dropped on Karlaftis like a week after I posted it here. I went obscure on purpose there and BOOM - it's in their draft guide. That's...odd.

I really like Trevor Sikkema and Connor Rogers on the NFL Stock Exchange podcast. They recently had a collaborative mock with Brett Kollman and his YT partner (can't remember his name). All 4 of those guys have their own opinions and often disagree with each other. They aren't perfect by any means, and I disagree often, but I don't believe they're victims of draft groupthink.
I also think they have a good understanding of the majority of teams.
FYI, Trevor and Connor took Morgan at 32 in that mock.
