The lesson I learned here is NEVER do more than 3 rounds. Secondly, stick with your gut instincts on YOUR draft board. The guy that you want in the 2nd round may very well be there in the 4th round. Lastly, nobody knows nothing until after the draft. It's easy to come in and cherry pick who you could have gotten in the 7th round after the fact. Also, those hidden gems are there because everybody else is looking for something completely different on the 2nd day. I had a draft board of 67 players, but could have filled my slots with what I considered 5th round talent, or better with a draft board of 48. I thought Moore, Vaughn, and Brown were all 2nd round talented players and could have drafted all three of them after getting what I considered the 6th best player in the draft (3rd best for our roster). In fact, I could have traded down to 42 and gotten him along with more draft picks. That's why the Professionals get paid the big bucks

Yeah, the mocks and forecasts are kind of silly. However, they provide a genuine service for us. They give us a framework to discuss team needs and also to talk about the exiting college talent. So, here's hoping you subject yourself to some more humble pie next year with a lot of 7 round mock drafts. I'll be complicit. Next year we can all be a little more aware that it is an exercise only and perhaps we won't sit around on draft day screaming that a guy we had rated 45th is sitting on the board in the 4th round.
