Interesting stuff. Nawrocki is very high on B. Albert and says his most natural position may be LT. Albert is the #14 overall prospect. He has Matt Ryan as the #1 overall prospect. He has Gholston ranked ahead of Long. Groves is #56, behind Avril at #46. He stacks Cason at #83.

Does it do a mock draft at all?

Yeah, but it's outdated. They put it together in mid March. They had the Pats taking McFadden, which doesn't make much sense.

Their most recent mock is here :

It's a little weird with C. Long dropping to us and KC taking McFadden but if all mocks were the same . . . what would be the point ?

If we drafted Chris Long you would never see me again.

Because id be dead. Massive heart attack.

I picked up Sporting News the other day, man is that mock peculiar. Gholston going in the SECOND ROUND. Groves going to the Jets at 6. Their war room scouts have some very different rankings. They have J. Long listed with a second round grading, Gholston likewise. There were some other shockers, as well.

Sporting News is always weird - remember their mocks, etc, are based solely on their rankings NOT what they think will happen. It's a good magazine for a contrarian opinion but if anyone buys that as their sole reference point, they'll have a very, very strange perspective on the draft.

It was a very strange perspective...which maybe its good to get a different perspective...but Gholston in the 2nd round? Now that's contrarian.

That's a bad mock draft. There is no way KC takes Darren McFadden, and there is no way the Jets would take Jonathan Stewart at #6. I wish the draft would fall this way, but it would never happen. I too would love to see Chris Long at #7.

Yeah, I have trouble believing Mangini would go for the FAIL by taking Stewart over Son of Howie. But if Long were still available at 4, I could see the Pats doing their best to try and land him.
