So how many mock drafts got blown to hell by the 1st round?

Mock drafts are worthless.  It's just a crossroad puzzle for football needs.

But if it's your bag then groovy baby.

I'm enjoying the hell right now.

Well the Pats ruined the millions of  dollars predict the 1st round contest. Cole Strange has to be the most head scratching pick from day 1.

I was looking for a place to put a similar comment. 

Why do people get upset by them?

Why pay much if any attention to them?

They are mildly entertaining at best but completely useless otherwise.  Except for the creator if they are able to make some money off the hits.

It's always about the money.

Charlie Campbell called the first 10 picks correctly (except the order of Kayvon/Neal), but yeah, once there are trades, it's literally impossible to call the rest. I honestly think that tonight the first 9 teams knew exactly how the draft was going 1-10 before the draft, becuase it was leaked that the Texans were taking Stingley and the Jets Sauce this morning

    • Love the Freeling pick even more after watching his pressers. Dude is sharp and definitely seems to have the right mentality. I loved hearing how personal he took having a bad game with a torn labrum and instead of seeing that as the reason for his bad game and not changing anything, it motivated him to work even harder. Such a great pick, we finally got our all pro level LT for the next decade and now we can move Ickey to RT or guard with no hurt feelings due to his injury. Second favorite pick is probably Brazzell. He said he false started on his 40 and it cost him probably 0.04 seconds, so he’s more of a 4.33 guy rather than 4.37. Really Randy Moss lite. I didn’t know anything about him prior to drafting him and first highlight reel I saw of him I immediately thought he looked like Moss. Then I saw the measurables and was like yep. Then I see that he’s drawn that comparison by many scouts and analysts. If he can add consistency and play to the level of his highlights every play then we got an incredible value.
    • During his three years at UGA he only allowed 5 sacks. He is only 21 and is on an upward trajectory. He's a great athlete that was good basketball player in high-school.  His height (76% how is this only 76%???? these guys are giants now), hands (81%), span (99%), speed (96%), quickness (10 yd. 86%), and explosiveness (vert. 96%, broad 97%) are all outstanding.  When we took Freeling, Fano, Mauioga, Proctor, and Miller were all off the board so we could have drafted Iheanachor or Lomu instead or waited to the second or third round to take Bell, Tiernan or Barber or wait even longer.  A lot of these tackles (including the first two taken) project to right tackle or guard in the NFL and that's not what we needed now.  Freeling has some sloppiness to clean up in his run blocking, but he's young and getting better.  We can let him get experience behind Walker and Moton knowing if he has to replace one of the two this year, his pass blocking won't get Bryce killed. Icky's not coming back from that injury as a nfl starting left tackle and Moton is in the twilight of his career.  If Walker has a great year, we will have to pay him a lot and if he is medicore we would want to let him walk.  Getting a LT on a rookie contract is going to help a lot with the cap.    
    • It was cool but they have done this at least in recent years unless I am imagining it
