It most definitely will be.

I just dont understand these kids coming back to school when they could be a first round pick in the NFL, it just doesn't make sense to me at all. Rarely does a senior season help a player.

Scared about lock out. I probably wouldn't risk losing a season of football either.

To some of these kids, getting another year of experience, or even graduating college is huge to them personally.

Get your degree in the offseason like McCutcheon did, you have an opp to make $20 mil you do it. Sorry but "getting the degree" is bs. Thats always there, the NFL isn't.

There should be a clause that allows kids that declare for the draft to go back to school and play if there is a lockout. I agree with CoA. Set yourself up for life, then go back and get your degree.

Well, to most people not playing in a professional sport, getting a degree is setting yourself up for life.
Life isn't all about money for some people. Personally, I would have taken the money, but that's because I am extremely materialistic. But for a stand up guy like Luck, he seems to want to get his degree and wait a year for the NFL. Not to mention, despite Harbaugh leaving, the Cardinal has a chance to compete next year. They aren't losing much.

As a bengals fan I would rather get Fairley or Bowers in round 1. Round 2 I would adress the WR with a Floyd, Baldwin, or Blackmon...... hell maybe Jones can fall into round 2. I want no part of the QB from Deleware in round 3, I am hoping we can get a safety like Sands from WVU.
I really with there wish there was a safety like Berry in this draft.

This weekend will be interesting with players declaring/staying. I'll have a Top 100 out next week most likely.

When will you have a new mock draft out?

I'm going to wait until the first week of February. It will be a 4 rounder, and will have all the guys staying out of the rankings, and will be updated with players who's stock has risen/fallen after the Senior Bowl on the 29th of January.

Awesome, can't wait to see what your analysis is.
This is my favorite time of the year with the draft and free agency! I have about 4 different sites I go to for a mock draft then compare all of them to try and get my own personal oppinion on where everyone will go.
