I know that it is early, but this draft has a chance to be as good as the 99 Draft was. This is also the first draft we will have under the new CBA where the rookie contracts are more manageable, which potentially could lead to a slew of draft trades as teams will no longer be afraid to move up into the top 5 for instance. Back in the day, those trades would cost you 4-5 picks, AND 70 million dollars. Now it will cost you picks, and you'll spend only 20-25 million. It could get REAL interesting.
The battle for the #1 pick will be almost as good as the battle for the Super Bowl.
I will update as often as possible, if anyone comes up with anything that they would like "saved" sort of, let me know and I will copy it here into the OP. That way it's all easy to find and use. If by draft time people are tired of this and want a newer cleaner thread, we can do that no problem, but for now we can track some of the top talent as we get closer. I believe we are somewhere like 189 days til the Draft.
As some of you know, I got a job writing for a DolphinsDraft site and have been going over stuff with a few others from other AFC East sites as well. The head of it all runs the PatriotsDraft website and he placed #2 last year in terms of most accurate mock drafts. He has all sorts of links/contacts that he uses. I will use a lot of stuff from there and place it in here for you guys to see. (mocks, reviews, etc)
Some of the top prospects. I'm listing Juniors and even Redshirt Sophomores if they might come out. Certainly a few will drop out, I'll adjust at that time. If you see any names missing that you feel need to be here, let know and I will add them. Also position stuff, I have most LB's under the MLB name, but some may be OLB's, if you feel they need to be switched, let me know. I know many of you will know better than I.
