    :lolol: thats funny. It's fun but really is crazy doing mocks this early with so many things still to be determined.

    I had no idea they were that far off, it is kinda funny now looking back,,, ( please no-one go back and analyze our mocks ) .

    To me doing mocks is like buying a lottery ticket. It's crazy to put any faith into them but just thinking about the possibilities is where the entertainment lies.

    I agree Cajun. The main takeaway I think is that many people put so much stock in those mocks, basing their opinions and their own mocks on many of them, and those mocks are very inaccurate.

    Fun read but until after the combine doing a mock is strictly for entertainment/informational purposes IMO.

    I would like to see the same article done 1 week prior to the draft to see how the experts did then.

    All of them had Jarvis Jones as a top 10 pick. We got a bargain! (I hope :praying:)

    I've always despised how the so called draft experts sit there on TV (or behind their computers) and make their wildly inaccurate predictions. Yes, It's kinda fun to speculate, but amazing how far off they can be with their "best player available". Bottom line is these guys really are MEDIA coverage, not talent experts.
