Mock Drafts

Not sure why people put so much stock into what these "draft experts" say. If you go back through the last 10 years of drafts (the first three rounds) it's amazing how many of these "sure thing" prospects are not playing, or only played for several years falling short of expectations. It's a joke. Pre and post draft grades are a joke. It's all about whether one can perform on gameday.

Sure, Johnson could be a great NFL player ... but there's a good chance he won't and be the next Joey Thomas.

Just wait and see what happens when he actually takes the field ... No need to worry about whether Mel Kiper's third cousin twice removed with the same haircut thinks Johnson is a definate 2nd round pick.

You need look no further than Joey Thomas to find a player falling short of expectations. Thanks for the reminder.

I'm guessing that is why he mentioned Joey Thomas in his initial post. Thanks for reading before posting.
