No Jaj, a mock draft is supposed to represent who a team will draft and where. These have nothing to do with now and will change then. That's why they always say it's early and these predictions will change. How are these teams supposed to know what these kids can do against other kids who are NFL talented?
The interviews, combines, invitation games and other things have not even taken place. Ben Roethlesberger could go to the Senior Bowl and struggle with the speed and athleticism of kids who are actually good and those two seconds he has to make a play become one and a half. The window that is open closes and he has trouble making the throws.
What if he does poorly in his interview? This could cause him to fall. They seem to think so. It's no more ridiculous then thinking any other player could fall.
First off, mock drafts are about as useful as a one-legged midget in an a** kicking contest even if they're composed an hour before the draft begins.
Second, if someone is going to do a mock draft involving all 32 teams in the NFL and they're going to do more than round one (why anyone would ever do this at any point is well beyond me) I would imagine that they would be- or would at least consider themselves to be- reasonably well informed as to the needs of each of the 32 teams involved in the draft as well as the strength of each prospect listed, and why one might believe each particular prospect may or may not be to a particular team (although I can't imagine why anyone not getting paid to do so would ever want to spend the amount of time necessary to compile the kind of information just mentioned.)
It's pretty obvious that the whoever the person, or persons, is/are who put that draft together are simply taking willd stabs in the dark hoping to hit something out of sheer luck. Several others have already asked about this but let me ask as well: can I have some of what that guy is smoking?
