From CHFF rates the draft prognosticators, interesting how much the do or do not know and how unpredictable this whole thing is...guess they all made some cash this weekend.

Year after year, we watch as the draft "experts" profess to have the inside information on how the draft will go down. Year after year, they put their expertise on the line through the most useless activity on Planet Pigskin, the mock draft.
Year after year, they fail miserably. The 2006 draft was no exception.
Our take on the exercise in futility that is the mock draft is well documented. It's a scandal that so much time, energy, emotion and ink -- by "pundits" and by fans -- is devoted to something destined to fail.
Here's how our six "pundits" stacked up in both categories:
"Pundit" Correct players Correct positions
OurLads.com 9 of 32 (28.1%) 12 of 32 (37.5%)
Ron Borges* 8 of 32 (25%) 16 of 32 (50.0%)
FoxSports.com 8 of 32 (25%) 13 of 32 (40.6%)
Mel Kiper 7 of 32 (21.9%) 12 of 32 (37.5%)
Scouts Inc. 6 of 32 (18.7%) 11 of 32 (34.4%)
Pete Prisco 4 of 32 (12.5%) 9 of 32 (28.1%)
