The Mock Draft: Version 7.0

The NFL Draft is just more than two days away and speculation is in high gear. When I first had the idea to do a series of mock drafts leading up to this epic offseason event I was ignorant to the various opinions held by the Falcons fan base. You all opened my eyes to more possibilities [...]

The Mock Draft: Version 6.0

We’ve reached a turning point with the Mock Draft. It is, in many ways, the point of no return. Six weeks ago I started presenting you with various scenarios for the first round of the 2009 NFL Draft, including a lengthy list of possible selections for the Falcons with the No. 24 pick. At times I’ve felt [...]

The Mock Draft: Version 5.0

I should have known the moment I started getting cocky something would come along and smack me back into reality. Just when I thought I was inspiring some discussion and throwing out wild, though plausible, scenarios NFL news and a few wise comments mixed things up. Now I’m starting to realize the stress and scrutiny that [...]

The Mock Draft: Version 4.0

It’s taken me four weeks and several mistakes but I think I’m getting the hang of this whole mock draftin’ thing. Sure, it’s not perfect. Is this how the draft will pan out for the Falcons or the rest of the NFL? Probably not pick-by-pick. But I think these scenarios are leading to interesting conversations. Like Homer [...]

The Mock Draft: Version 3.0

Three weeks into the mock draft and I think I’m starting to get the hang of it. Or at least I’ve found something that seems to suit me. Like Homer Simpson morphing into “Dancing Homer,” I feel like I’m spreading some cheer while having little fun. Then again, like Homer Simpson dancing on top of a dugout, [...]

The Mock Draft: Version 2.0

Somewhere between reading the comments on Mock Draft 1.0 and researching updates on my draft predictions I realized something I should have taken into account before I came up with this crazy idea. Be careful on the expectations you set. Like Homer Simpson running for sanitation commissioner, I wonder if I’m making outlandish claims impossible to backup. Then [...]

The Mock Draft: Version 1.0

This could go well or, like Homer Simpson conducting a monorail, I could be horribly unfit for this job and the mock draft spiral out of control. Either way we’re in for a wild ride and a little fun, right!? Keep in mind this is one man’s opinion. No. 1 — Detroit Lions QB Matthew Stafford, Georgia In a perfect [...]
