One good pick, one bad pick.

What I really am waiting for is Goose' top 100 list next week.

 

[Deep_Freeze]

Both our picks don't thrill me at all. Wow, he does have the RBs going high.

 

[tyke1doe]

A stick man as a receiver and Mr. Pothead at corner. Great picks.

 

[DandyDon]

Not in a million years will this happen!

 

[Haley94]

One good pick, one bad pick.

Yeah. I'm wondering where he'll rank Cason.

Jerod Mayo seems to be moving up.

No trade up or down, let's keep them............goodness.

 

[tyke1doe]

No trade up or down, let's keep them............goodness.

Huh?

 

[Deep_Freeze]

Huh?

Sorry, I was joking with you :laugh2:

We both think the picks stink

 

[tyke1doe]

Sorry, I was joking with you :laugh2:

Oh, okay.

I got thrown a little bit there. But, yes, the picks do stick. I hope we don't go there.

 

[Deep_Freeze]

Yeah, guess my sarcasm was a bit off, I need a nap. His mocks are usually better than this one, I am wondering where he got all those RBs going in the first round from though.

 

[big dog cowboy]

Yeah. I'm wondering where he'll rank Cason.

Jerod Mayo seems to be moving up.

I'm guessing Cason will be around 40-45. OK I used a dart board.

I'd like to trade the 28 to Atl for 2 of those 2nd rounders they have and get Cason and a WR.

 

[trickblue]

If Chicago takes Stewart, they better be prepared for more whining from Benson. He hurt the team by complaining about T. Jones to the point they got rid of him. Look where that got them last year...

I think they are ready to flat cut Benson.

If they draft Stewart it is to start. Benson can cry all he wants.

 

[CATCH17]

That would ruin my draft day.

 

[cobra]

This is guarenteed to not be what the draft is like.

This is Goose's crazy mock, as his second one always is.

Next Friday or Saturday will be his Top 100 and this 3rd Mock which will pretty much nail the first round.

His second mock is always--and intentionally--out there, so you can pretty sure it doesn't got that way.

 

[MichaelWinicki]

Two interesting points...

#1 Felix Jones was selected before Chris Johnson.

#2 No Cason in the first round.

I guess Goose has no credibility.

 

[speedkilz88]

Cobra is right, Goose is known for putting out a head scratcher in his second mocks. I think it was last year(maybe the year before) where he was on with Norm and said that he purposely puts out a wrong one in his second attempt. He said he doesn't like doing the early ones but the dmn expects them.

 

[sago1]

Not wild about either of the picks. I'd expect more from my 22nd pick then that he shortens the field for Romo. Heck, Romo & our offense could score from anywhere on the field including starting in our own end zone. Talib isn't really my choice at CB; rather wait for Antoine Cason at #28 or in the 2nd round.
