NFL Draft: Mock Drafts
I'm going to try to find as many mock drafts as possible today.
CNNSI's Dr. Z checks in first. He evidently didn't get the memo that Eli Manning would just as soon spend the Fall chasing tail in Oxford, MS, as to take the field in San Diego.
Other Dr. Z notables: Roy Williams slips to Detroit at #7, and the Texans take Tommie Harris at #10. I really want that to happen, by the way. He has Dallas taking Arkansas OL Shawn Andrews. I could live with that.
ESPN.com's draft (apparently posted on Monday and updated Wednesday, before the Manning mess) has San Diego taking Manning first. Roy falls to Atlanta at #8, while the Cowboys grab Chris Perry. They also have Tommie Harris crapping Chicago Bears helmets. I'm sure my buddy Paul will love that.
ADDED: The Daily Texan puts the 'mock' in Mock Draft. The humor misses as much as it hits, but it's worth a read.
One example: 2. Oakland Raiders
Howard Dean Governor Vermont
After going 4-12 and missing Jon Gruden's fiery intensity, the Baytown Bad Boys snag the temperamental Democrat. Oakland sweeps their preseason games, but successively wins only one inconsequential regular season game and then has the audacity to show up for the playoffs, despite not being encouraged or even invited to attend.
ADDED: CBS Sportsline's Pete Prisco has the NY Giants trading up to nab Manning, while the Raiders take Williams. Roy's Texas teammate Marcus Tubbs lands in New England, one spot before the Cowboys draft Kevin Jones.
Sportsline's Jay Glazer has Manning in SD, Williams with the Raiders, and Dallas selecting Miami OL Vernon carey.
ADDED: I'm throwing in CFN's draft, though I don't put much stock in their opinions. If Roy Williams falls to #9, I will change this site's description to "I love John Kerry" for the next week.
