Gosselin's final mock - just a few picks so far but interesting

[InmanRoshi]

Unless I'm reading it wrong, Goose doesn't even have Bowers going in the 1st round.

Wow, from #1 pick in the draft to out of the 1st round in 2 months. That knee must be a disaster.

Based on this mock, I guess there is some trade down opportunity at 9 if someone was desparate for Ponder or Dalton (can't believe I'm saying this).

I still think if we trade down it is Pouncey that we end up with -- Goose's mock suggests that Pouncey is a bit more highly valued than many sources think

 

[bbgun]

Wow. He's clearly not buying the Robert Quinn hype.

It could be health concerns with the brain tumor, though.

Exactly.

He isnt hype though, he was a monster as a sophmore. Near the tops in the country in sacks and TFL

Lions pairing Fairley with Suh would be formidable.

That jumped off the screen at me. The Lions front would be scary good with those tackles.

I would love to see someone make a list to compare Goose's final mock draft against what really happens.

Folks make him out to be a prophet, but I'd love to see how this unfolds this year.

Really, mock drafts are like picking brackets for the NCAA tournament. One unforeseen trade and the ripple effect from it can ruin an entire mock. It's a lot of chaos and randomness. Actual NFL people probably couldn't make a wholly accurate mock draft.

I put more value in the Top 100 in judging draft opinions.

Or, you could try to use google and look for yourself.

Goose is the most accurate over the last 5 year period.

That doesn't mean he is 100% correct. It just means that he is likely more accurate than you or anyone else you are reading.

If you don't like what he says, that's fine. But sniping at him as if he is way off base is inappropriate given his standing as the most accurate guy out there.

Thanks for fetching it for me.

Lol, "inapporpriate."

...and I thought I was the only inappropriate poster around here. :laugh2:

I'm very much in favor of the Cowboys addressing the interior OL which has been abysmal,,, I heard that some coaches, Sean Payton included, are beginning to place more emphasis on the interior lineman because of their pass heavy offense and the need to keep the pocket clean, especially when your QB isn't very tall.... like Romo!

 

[DFWJC]

Goose normally dominates these draft contests (on average)

But I just do not see the draft unfolding like he predicts this year (based on his sources).

His draft just reeks of desperation.

Should be exciting!

which might suggest that Bigg is going bye bye. He's an awful tall OG -- I always wondered if that impacted Tony's game

one thing that is very different this year is that teams haven't been able to address needs via FA - not that there are really many great QBs out there but you'd expect someone would have snatched Palmer by now ... someone would think they could go a year with Bulger, Collins, or Grossman, etc. Teams who did something like that might wait until round 2 to get a QB -- which is likely what is driving the value on these guys up

No doubt AB.
It seems a bit crazy to me, but maybe it's the 'ol desperate times-desperate measures thing.

I would not draft guys a full round or two ahead of value, even under these circumstances.
The draft is pretty deep at second tier QBs though.

 

[ejthedj]

13 out of top 22 right?
He's making the first round anti-climatic

 

[UnoDallas]

Gosselin:

Six QBs could go in first round of tonight's NFL draft


LMAO
