Jetster Posted March 28, 2015 Share Posted March 28, 2015 I have to say that most mocks I look at are pretty good. Walter Football has 1-Shane Ray 2-Tevon Coleman 3- Bryce Petty There are a lot of mocks that have us either taking Shane Ray or Vic Beasley Won't be that hard to get some good players in the 1/2/3 especially as high as we are picking in each round.

Ex-Rex Posted March 28, 2015 Share Posted March 28, 2015 I mock mock drafts. They are completely stupid and have no basis is reality. These so called 'experts' have the Jets passing Mariota by at pick number six which is easily the dumbest thing I have heard in a long time. There is NO WAY IN HELL Maccagnan passed up Marcus Mariota if he is there at six. These guys shift their picks depending on what they think the fans want. Pay them no mind. The real draft will be interesting enough without all this stupid speculation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TuscanyTile2 Posted March 28, 2015 Share Posted March 28, 2015 Mocks are only good as a rough guide to see where players are valued. And they're only even vaguely useful for round 1. Any mock that includes a 2nd round borders on the absurd. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fibonacci Posted March 28, 2015 Share Posted March 28, 2015 I use mock drafts to see where players are ranked mostly. Predicting what team will pick what player is almost impossible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Il Mostro Posted March 28, 2015 Share Posted March 28, 2015 I have to say, I did like the mock I saw with us taking Fowler in the 1st and Gordon in the 2nd. But, just wishful thinking with all the twists and turns of the real world. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
prime21 Posted March 29, 2015 Share Posted March 29, 2015 I like the mocks so I can be happy when I agree with them but laugh when I disagree.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But the week before the draft, the mocks tend to be reasonably close to what actually happens Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is NO WAY IN HELL Maccagnan passed up Marcus Mariota if he is there at six. These guys shift their picks depending on what they think the fans want. Pay them no mind. The real draft will be interesting enough without all this stupid speculation. I disagree on Mariota. If you really think about it, Woody Johnson is emptying out his pocketbook in free agency and it's a clear cut message that he wants to win and win this year. Really passing on Mariota is more of a guarantee than you might think. With guys like Harris(31), Mangold(31), Brickashaw(31), Colon(31), Brandon Marshall(31), Cromartie(30), and Revis(29) on the roster, it's highly unlikely they'll take a developmental quarterback who might end up taking 2 or 3 years before he can start games. It really doesn't make sense to use a 1st round draft pick that will not impact the roster in a positive way this season. What are we gonna wait until these guys are all using walking sticks before Mariota turns into a starter? Hell f no bro. And that doesn't even mention the fact that his style of play requires that you absolutely rewire an offense to support his style of play. He is a system quarterback and to me the whole thing sounds very much like the tebow fiasco all over again. However, I do love tebow and I hope he does come back to the NFL at some point. Sorry to break it to you but any interest the Jets are showing in Mariota prior to the draft are simply smoke screens. He's the biggest bust in the draft.

If it doesn't happen, no one remembers. If it somehow does, they look like a genius. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jetster Posted March 29, 2015 Author Share Posted March 29, 2015 The mocks as a whole when looked at side by side gives you a good indication of what players might be available to you in a particular spot. Of course nailing picks exactly to teams is ridiculous, you only need 1 trade at the top to change a draft. But for the most part there are plenty of mocks done by some pretty smart people, some with scouting backgrounds. If I look at a mock from someone like Gil Brandt, of course I know it's a generalization but when I look at the 2nd round you do get a good indication of approximately 10 guys who may be available at 37. Then you kind of look deeper into their college careers & you end up favoring one over the other to slip down to that pick. If you actually watch the draft & you see the BPA list they use as the draft progresses, you really don't see that many picks that venture out of that list. Of course there are usually a handful of players that show up on the list & fall badly & it's usually players with shaky off the field problems. The draft is no "secret" like it use to be. It's big business & there are a lot more smart people looking at it, reporting on it & mocking the draft. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jetster Posted March 29, 2015 Author Share Posted March 29, 2015 The most interesting position in this years draft & the one that will have a huge effect will be the running backs. Will this be the year that teams take a couple of RBs in the 1st round. I'm hoping Gurley falls to 37. ACLs are not what they use to be. Look at Frank Gore I think he's had 2?
