What grades do we get 2 years later?

Best Quote was from SQ_Crazies after Chesapeake posed the question "Does Miami go after Matt Ryan?"

Sq_Crazies responded, "A QB is a bad pick for the Dolphins. They need a "safe" pick. John Beck can be as good as any qb in this draft class. "

I wish I would've saved the 2007 JJ mock draft. I picked Darrelle Revis in the second round, lol.

William Gholston, Limas Sweed, James Hardy, Brian Brohm, Leodis Mcelvin, all appear to be frunt runners for the biggest busts.

Best bang for your buck is definitely Dominique Rodgers-Cromartie

Everyone whiffed on Chris Johnson, and that DeSean Jackson pick was rather shrewd (he didn't end up going until the second round in the real draft, and the Bills ended up with Leodis McKelvin instead).

Very true.. great pick for the Bills! (too bad he wasnt GM)

The DMac pick is terrible as well, considering he may be the 6th best running back in this class.

What the hell was I thinking taking Brian Brohm??? I am not a bears fan so it must have been just to spite them!

i made a bet on JJ that I'd eat my hat if Run DMC ended his career with more than 5,000 yards. it might've been on this thread.

You can tell that alot of those guys were drafting based on name recognition

31. New York Giants (Chesapeake_wins) - Mike Dragosavich, P, North Dakota State (working at the Citgo)

With as great as his #1 for Miami was this pick is just terrible. I mean seriously who takes a punter in the first round?

Ugh.. I made that D-Mac pick for Atlanta.. At the time, they needed a running back as Warrick Dunn was done there (I think)

Of course, if D-Mac was on another team, who knows what he would be doing?

Yeah LTrain you could say that about all these players who weren't drafted to the teams that they were drafted to in the Mock Drafts we did on the huddle their careers would be totally different. I mean its still interesting to look at and see how they have performed for the actual teams they were drafted to.

I mean just look at the Mock Draft from last year when ufgators15 took Harvin with the 5th pick. Everyone called him out on it and called him a UF homer/moron but Harvin performed very well for the Vikings. Now would have have done that well if he was actually picked by the Browns? Probably not.

I'd still take Super Mario with the Titans haha

Feeling good about my DeSean Jackson pick two years later. I remember them needing some WRs and Jackson was high on a lot of lists at mock draft time.
