Uncertainty in the draft - ? (1 Viewer)

[Englishteacher]

So this year's draft is very hard to project. Usually there are a few certain picks that you can almost bank on when you're trying to do a mock draft. This year it seems nearly every team has multiple directions they could go with their pick. Anyone else noticing this? I'm guessing so as nearly every mock draft I've seen seems completely different. Maybe the Phins will actually sign their guy before the draft to give at least one building block but I think we're still pretty far away from that.

I agree, you can only talk about this draft in conditionals - if miami goes takes Player X, then StL will look at player Y and so on. Not to mention that there are big questions about some of the clear top 7 - Is Ryan a franchise QB? Are Dorsey's legs sound? Will McFadden translate to the NFL? Do you take a guy who might only be a RT in the top 2-3 (JLong)?

Its not like it gets any clearer after the top 7 either. I think we'll learn a lot about the philosophy of the teams this year because of the diverse collection of talents and risk/reward packages in the first this year.

Is the site going to do a mock draft contest like in previous years? I think you'd find the winner genetically linked to Nostradamus.
