We're kicking our NFL Draft coverage into high gear starting this week, and we're doing it with a bang, bringing on Scott Wright, president of NFLDraftCountdown.com.

Scott's an authority on the draft, which is just over a month away, and we're going to pick his brain on the burning questions heading into the big weekend.

In the meantime, we wanted to tell you a little about Scott. First, his web site's bio:

"Scott Wright is the founder and President of NFL Draft Countdown.com. He has been scouting players and evaluating the NFL Draft since 1993.

An authority in the field, Scott has been featured as an NFL Draft expert by media outlets across the country and is a member of the Football Writers Association of America.

Wright invests countless hours per week evaluating game film and maintaining this site.

His passion for the Draft and scouting players comes through in his work and he has historically had some of the most complete and precise mock drafts available, including a 1st place finish nationally in 2004.

Scott is dedicated to bringing visitors the most accurate and informative site possible while continuing to cater to everyone from the novice fan to the most avid draftnik. All 100% FREE!"

I, however, wanted to dig deeper, so I e-mailed him a few questions and he took a few minutes to kindly reply.

PP: How'd you get started in the NFL field?
SW: I just started out as a fan basically.

PP: What is the No. 1 all-time draft steal?
