Mocking the mocks

Googling "2011 NFL Mock draft" not only gives you that as a second option at "2011," just behind "2011 calendar," you also get 1,020,000 results.  Nuts.  I'm not predicting this year's draft because, quite frankly, I haven't been following and you can amuse yourself with result #80,222 above.  But I do have my own draft of sorts.  Adieu...



Can somone superimpose the LB logo?


1.  With the 1st pick in my random NFL draft, I want to know "will Cam Newton make more money going pro than he did in college?"













Hmmm...



Does anyone seriously believe that his dad was shopping his transfer around and he had no idea about it?  If so, his Wonderlic score was crap.  If you're a team thinking of taking him, you asked that in the interview, right?  If he says no, you know he's lying.  He really should have gone to Kentucky.  Oh yeah, I forgot, all those violations occured without Calipari knowing... riiiiiiiiight.  What did he get on the lie detec.... errrr, Wonderlic?

2.  With the 2nd pick in my random NFL draft, I ask "did you know Mel Kiper's hair always looks like that???  How does he do that???"

Over/under on number of hair mentions tonight during the draft:  2.5  For the weekend?  100.5.  Bet the over on both.  This is seriously the oldest joke since... well, it's old.  But seriously, have you seen Mel's hair???  Poor Todd McShay.

You have nice hair, too, Todd.

3.  With the 3rd pick in my random NFL draft, is the NFL labor situation becoming the new Brett Favre situation?

In that, the fans don't care, just tell us when it's over so we can move on with our lives?  The only person I know who cares a little really only cared that the Eagles were still charging for her season tickets when teams like the Giants weren't making them pay anything.  You'd expect nothing less from the Eagles, though.  What is Brett doing now anyways?  Not sure, but this one was funny.  Anyways, this is lame for anyone not a player or owner.  Hopefully they're at least being smart with their money.

4.  With the 4th pikc in my random NFL draft, a big shout out to the fans who follow the hell out of this.

Some pipe dreams come true, though...

I just love watching these guys on TV living and dying with their picks, as though their entire season rests on this pick.  Side note, I would love to go to the draft.  They look like they are both drunk and having the time of their lives.  Both good things.  Anyways, before you go nuts over your team's first round pick, or their meaningless draft grade, remember that this draft is not going to win or lose you the Super Bowl.  That's just a pipe dream.  Stop whining at the proverbial water cooler about how they should have taken whoever, and you would have blah blah blah.
I'm out of mocks.  The NFL draft is awesomeness just cause it's bringing hope back to your team.  Everyone has a chance to earn that high draft grade that means nothing.  And it gives us something to talk about.  Hell, the Philly Inquirer is doing a five part series on who the Eagles might take, meaning the Eagles are reading so they can pick none of those guys.  And they've been doing draft needs for the NFL on Sportscenter since February.  Guess we need something to fill the time, right?

You know you're watching.  So am I.  If not, at least we can gamble on it.
