this guy is pretty good at predicting these things but not 100%
I don't think Gosselin is on drugs. His mocks seem odd because they are more based on inside info that he has from each team than it is on guesswork. So, his mocks are odd until you see a team like Miami take Ted Ginn at #9 or see a team like the Bengals pass up Donte Stallworth for Willie Anderson. Or how about the Raiders taking Nnamdi Asomougha years ago and everyone thinking it was a reach at the time. Gosselin mocks are rife with guys going in places you would never guess. In his mock's oddity, they actually end up being more realistic than mocks that are too logical.
It's like a work of fiction. In an appeal to seem authentic, a lot of logic can be introduced into it. In real life, you don't have to be so logical. All that said, I think Gosselin is OVERRATED. I think a few years ago, he did VERY well with a mock. Got an unbelievable amount of the picks right and everyone knows this. I think now teams are probably using him more to put out smokescreens than to share info with him as they expect that a lot of people are going to believe that his mock is accurate. Just my take.
Willie Anderson is older than dust. I think you mean Levi Jones. I remember that year too. I thought that they were going to take Phillip Buchanan for sure. They still had Richmond Webb as their LT at the time. That really was some draft looking back.
I think you're right. Misleading this guy to put out smokescreens makes sense after having their team's targets put out on front street is entirely possible.
See what I mean? Gosselin has this reputation that is more predicated on that one solid year he had than on a level of consistency.
This is the first of three Rick Gosselin mock drafts. It is based on a draft board compiled through discussions with NFL talent evaluators. This mock draft primarily adopts the best-player-available philosophy. Next weekend's mock draft will more heavily weigh team needs.
Where is that from? I do not recall him being #1 last year. Additionally, traditionally his earlier mocks are not great. His "good" mocks are posted in the early morning hours the day of the draft (much later than most so he has more info, some of which has already been disclosed publicly).One year?
3 year averages, Gosselin #1
2007 Top 100, Gosselin #1
2006 Top 100, Gosselin #1
2005 Top 100, Gosselin #1
2007 Mock, Gosselin #1
2006 Mock, Gosselin #1, highest score ever
2003 Mock, Gosselin #1
(They only listed the #1 guy, so i don't know how high he finished in 04 and 05)
But he's hardly a one-year wonder
