Foxsports Peter Schrager Mock Draft 2.0

[2000bull]

http://msn.foxsports.com/nfl/story/schrager-mock-draft-2-021010

has the following:

1st Round:

31. Indianapolis Colts

South Florida DE Jason Pierre Paul

(Last week: Pierre Paul No. 54 to Bengals, Colts picked DE/OLB Jerry Hughes, TCU)

Dwight Freeney and Robert Mathis, meet Jason Pierre Paul. Now, teach him everything. Labeled as a “one year wonder†by some, the 6’5, 265 pound pass rush specialist merged onto the scene in 2009 and could be a terror to deal with on the Lucas Oil Stadium rug. The first-team All-Big East selection led South Florida in sacks, tackles for a loss and quarterback hurries in ’09. Slotted to go anywhere from the Top 10 to the mid-second round, Pierre Paul would be a nice scoop up for Larry Coyer’s 4-3 defense.

2nd Round:

40. Seattle Seahawks—Nate Allen, S, USF

3rd Round:

67. Tampa Bay Buccaneers—George Selvie, DE, South Florida

91. San Diego Chargers—Jerome Murphy, CB, South Florida

wow...so one guy has him going #3 overall another guy has him going #31 overall.

makes you wonder how much research these guys actually put into their "mock" drafts.

do they actually contact the teams to get a feel for who is on their short list or are they just pulling names out of a hat and say "well he would be a good fit here"

I think 3rd overall is more believable than #31. I think it was Kiper had him going 11th overall to the Jags. That seemed the most reasonable to me.

JPP is not going 3rd. Depending on his combine he might go 31st. He will probably go 15 to 22.

Mock drafts seem to maybe get the first 5 overall picks correct, after that it seems that most are assuming team needs without much inside info.  If JPPs raw talent are appealing enough, IMHO he goes between 10 and 20.

JPP is not going 3rd. Depending on his combine he might go 31st. He will probably go 15 to 22.

The thing is, the draft isn't based all that much on common sense. See Raiders pick Darius Heyward Bay 7th overall last year.

because of that, I think he's more likely to go 3rd than 31st.
