Back in 2007 we organized and ran an "Experts" Mock Draft on the SSF. 31 different people represented 31 different teams (the SSF collectively represented the Saints) and went through all 7 rounds trying to fill team needs as best as they could.
Anyways, I decided to look back and see how I did just for fun. I represented New England in 2007 and drafted (followed by how I faired)
#24 Jarvis Moss - OLB
Height: 6-6 1/2 | Weight: 250 | 40-Time: 4.70
Actually drafted #17 by the Denver Broncos.
Began the season starting for the Denver Broncos before getting hurt in the sixth game of the season and missing the rest of the year. Finished only with 12 tackles, 1 sack, 1 FF
#33 Eric Weddle - FS/SS
Height: 5-11 1/4 | Weight: 203 | 40-Time: 4.48
Actually drafted #37 by the San Diego Chargers
Has slowly worked his way into the starting spot in San Diego. Finished with 54 tackles, 1 sack, 1 INT
#91 Zak DeOssie - OLB/ILB
Height: 6-45/8 | Weight: 250 | 40-Time: 4.62
Actually drafted #116 by the NY Giants
Only played special teams for the NY Giants, though he was active for every game. Finished with just 6 tackles.
#100 A.J. Davis - CB
Height: 5-10 | Weight: 193 | 40-Time: 4.58
Actually drafted #105 by the Detroit Lions
End up getting cut by the Lions and then picked up by the Browns. Was never active for an NFL game.
#107 Chris Henry - RB
Height: 5-11 1/4 | Weight: 230 | 40-Time: 4.40
Actually drafted #50 by the Tennessee Titans
Was expected to compete for the starting job in Tennessee, ended up behind both LenDale White and Chris Brown. Finished with just 119 yards rushing, 53 yards recieving, and 2 touchdowns.
#171 Gabe Hall - T
Height: 6-3 7/8 | Weight: 313 | 40-Time: 4.91
Went undrafted, I don't think anyone even signed him.
Oops
#202 Mike Walker - WR
Height: 6-1 3/4 | Weight: 209 | 40-Time: 4.35
Actually drafted #79 by the Jacksonville Jaguars
Got injured in preseason, out for the year.
#208 Quinton Culberson - ILB
Height: 6-0 5/8 | Weight: 236 | 40-Time: 4.83
Went undrafted, signed by the St. Louis Rams
Activated for 14 games, ended up starting the final game where he had 11 tackles and 1 FF. Finished with 24 total tackles and 1 FF. Was signed by Jim Haslett however so I don't know if I actually get credit for this or lose credit.
#209 Jeff Rowe - QB
Height: 6-5 1/4 | Weight: 226 | 40-Time: 4.98
Actually drafted #151 by the Cinncinati Bengals
Obviously never played. Was the #3 QB every week. He looked really good in preseason though.
#247 Chad Nkang - LB/SS
Height: 5-111/2 | Weight: 220 | 40-Time: 4.58
Actually drafted #251 by the Jacksonville Jaguars
Never started but was activated every game and ended up being the Jaguars top special teams player. Finished with 17 tackles
All in all I thought I did a great job picking players. Most ended up right where I picked them, and I got two big-time steals in Mike Walker and Chris Brown. Gabe Hall was the only real whiff. But in terms of production I was a little snake-bitten, with both Jarvis Moss and Mike Walker getting hurt despite being expected to play a big role for both teams. That and Chris Brown floundered.
But who am I kidding, I picked for the New England Patriots. They only kept 1 of their real draft picks, they'd probably have only kept a couple from this draft (and not had the #7 overall pick in 2008).
Anyways, I encourage everyone to check out the 2007 Mock Draft (the first post has the complete mock draft) here

We'll be doing it again this year so keep on the look out for it.
