Check out the Larrymock...gimme your thoughts for v2.

 

[Warner2BruceTD]

The Larrymock is great.

The only mock better is the one that doesn't exist.

You know damn well you clear your DVR down to 10% or less to make room for full nfl draft coverage by espn and nfln. And have a box of draft guides about a knee high.

Youre not fooling anyone kiddo.

 

[EmpireWF]

Your hate gives me the energy I need to live.

Thing is, I have no problem with the draft itself (although to be honest, I haven't watched the draft in about 5 years), even though it's easily one of the most painfully boring 4 hours of sports around (...and that's just the first round). I used to watch the draft, until I realised I could just turn on my computer after it's over, and see who everyone picked in about 5 minutes, as opposed to watching Mel Kiper's hair for 2 days on end.

My problem is with the "draftnik" culture, and even moreso, the practice of the dreaded "mock draft". Can anything possibly be more boring than reading somebody's mock draft? They are never, ever even remotely accurate, and you can blow them up as soon as the first of 100 trades go down. What the fuck is the point? A useless, 100% unentertaining endeavour that I will never understand.

Except the Larrymock, right?

I agree, the only benefit I can even see to doing a mock draft would be that it'd force me to scout a bunch of players. But since I'm not employed by a NFL team any scouting I do is a waste of time.

but without the mock draft that goomba looking turd mel kiper and his butt buddy mcshay wouldnt have jobs...

...and thus concludes my yearly Mock Draft rant.

See you next year, combine geeks.

Kiper has had his own scouting business/service for decades, many NFL teams subscribe to it.

Die in a fire, uno.

Where you at 2X VSN Poster of the year? I always look forward to your mock rants.

I'm with you w3b, I don't get into the draft. I don't see the point unless your a top 5-10 pick. Why should I invest days researching who should the Giants draft only to be completely wrong/dissapointed on draft day? I'll watch the first 5 picks, then do something else until the giants are up, watch that and I'm done. And like Nuk said, 95% of all this trade talk and etc. is complete bullshit.

You really can't get sick of hearing the word motor to describe a defensive tackle or a linebacker.

I really wish ESPN would put some draft programming or pre-draft discussions on SOME parts of their channel....I mean, here I am watching exciting playoff series coverage in both the NBA and NHL. Enough of this crap. Dammit, I want to hear Bill Parcell's vaguely describe the typical happenings in the draft room with information we are already well aware of or at least watch Jon Gruden licking some 21 year olds ass with a big old shit eating (literally) grin on his face.

 

[Warner2BruceTD]

ralaw with the big time thread bump.

Id say let's rehash this thread every year, but frankly, I'm shocked we haven't crashed since last year.

 

[LiquidLarry2GhostWF]

Mock drafts will stop once W2B finishes his Top 100 Wrestlers of All Timez.

Waiting for Long Island Iced Z to make an appearance.

Love the NFL draft, hate mocks
