Not big on doing mock drafts myself, but got bored at work and conducted a totally unscientific and random sampling on who mock drafters have us taking. Thought it might be interesting to take a look before and after the combine to see how these opinions change. Of course none of these are right because the draft always takes a turn or two that no one expects, plus I can’t vouch for the sanity of any of these people
In addition to checking CBS, Fox, NFL.com, etc (I’ve pointed out who some of these “authoritative” sites have us taking), other sources are here: [url]http://walterfootball.com/draftdata.php[/url] (Draft Debacled posters seem to really enjoy mocking).
Mike Iupati, G, Idaho – 7 (CBS, Kiper)
Dan Williams, NT, Tennessee – 6 (CBS)
Earl Thomas, S, Texas – 4
Bryan Bulaga, OT, Iowa – 4 (Kiper’s pick before today)
Bruce Campbell, OT, Maryland – 3 (McShay)
Taylor Mays, S, USC - 3
Donovan Warren, CB, Michigan - 2
Greg Hardy, DE/OLB, Ole Miss – 2
Trent Williams, OT, Oklahoma – 2 (Fox)
Brian Price, DT, UCLA - 2
Dunlap, DE, Florida – 1
Kyle Wilson, CB, Boise State – 1
Jermaine Cunningham, DE, Florida – 1
Golden Tate, WR, Notre Dame – 1
Patrick Robinson, CB, Florida State - 1
Terrance Cody, NT, Alabama – 1 (NFL.com)
Jared Odrick, DT, PSU - 1
Sean Weatherspoon, OLB, Mizzou - none
Brandon Spikes, ILB, Florida - none
As discussed on the forum many times, Haden, McClain, Berry and the like are long gone before our pick in most of these mocks, though I have seen Haden and McClain slip into the 12 and 13 spots here and there. Berry seems to be the favorite to go to TB, Haden to the Stains.
