Like I said, I think a lot of your fellow posters would disagree about early mock drafts not meaning anything.
What they DO mean is there is legit hype around a guy to get drafted. If they play at a very high level, they would have an opportunity to get drafted that high. What it DOESN'T mean is that they are a for sure lock to be picked at that spot. Drafts are fluid, so are the seasons of CFB and the NFL. An NFL team might be in need of someone at one position but by the time the draft rolls around, they're in need for another position. Sometimes teams fall in love with a guy that might not even be a great college QB but he has the intangibles (Josh Allen / Jordan Love), or there is a guy that has an unbelievable year and makes a jump out of complete no where to the top (Joe Burrow).
Just that early projections are credible and should be used as a measuring stick vs. where a player actually gets drafted to determine how far they've regressed, failed to develop, underperformed, etc.
That's being pretty obtuse. A lot of YOUR fellow posters do the same type of thing. Constantly.
Better make room in the trophy case! LOL. will they be announcing the winners at the conclusion of the regular season in May?
" Linderbaum is, quite easily, the most athletic interior offensive lineman in the country." Wow. That's a heap of praise. No Kolar on the list?
