OOBL's Mock Pre-Combine

[The Buddha]

First rule of Mock Drafting is "Don't take yourself seriously."...nobody knows anything...not even NFL personnel men (every team in the league drafts players that are bums before their rookie contracts are up)...not until these guys get their asses into camp and actually playing. Most players success is determined by what team they go to in the first place and there are only a few players in each draft that you can say with some kind of certainty that they'll succeed.

Until then, its all opinion, meaningless conjecture, and stuff to do for fun...especially Mocks, which are all complete garbage.

The only two mocks I take even remotely serious are the ones done the Friday before the draft...typically Scott Wright's and Rich Gosselin's, they just tend to be the most accurate in an non-accurate business.

With that said, lighten up, Francis.

I always thought the first rule of mock drafting is you dont talk about mock drafting.

Hey, mock looks great. Making mock drafts is not an exact science and the closer we get to the real deal, the more things change. Looks good for being two months out.

A lot of the player comparisons do look similar to those of other sites. Decent mock though.

Yeah its all just for fun and speculation, will be interesting to see how things shake up down the stretch here.

How different can player comparisons possibly be though? Players are all unique, the comparisons are a generalization, the guys I compared to were the first to come to mind to me, and most likely the first to come to mind for most people.

Shouldn't you be off somewhere watching the combine for your next mock?

I am watching the coverage right now, thanks for being so concerned about what I'm doing :heart:

Will all your analysis now match Mayocks?

Just saying, I think a much better comparison for Dez Bryant would be Anquan Boldin. IMO they are EXTREMELY similar.

They aren't as similar as you would think, Bryant is a little faster, and IMO a better deep threat and more of a big play WR then a possession receiver like Boldin. The stats kind of tell the tale if you look at Bryant's last full season and even watching them both play in college it's not that great of a comparison. Bryant only averaged a little over a yard more per reception but found the endzone much more.

Bryant runs a a 4.45-4.5 40 while Boldin clocks a 4.7 on average. And my comparison to OchoCinco is based on his personality a bit too, I remember two years ago him bragging about how he's the best WR in College Football, saying he was going to break a bunch of records, etc.

wtfuck wheer is my bears pick ?

:smh: hopefully thats not a serious post... if it is you got it a year early, came fully equipped with over 20 interceptions

I have very little hope the Rams take Clausen/Bradford at #1.

But at least it's hope.
