Mock Drafts

So, with the Eagles bowing out of the playoffs this week, it's time to think of the future. Yes, draft day. The NFL draft may be over 2 months away, but still, their are plenty of mock drafts out there saying which prospects are going where. Personally, I do not think mock drafts mean anything until after the NFL combine, where the most rigorous of scouting usually occurs. What I have noticed from all the mock drafts out there right now is that they vary..alot. Take Penn State DE/OLB Aaron Maybin for example. Ever since the underclassmen declared for the draft just over a week ago, his draft stock in mock drafts has been as inconsistent as Andy Reid's play calling. Maybin is projected to go anywhere from 4th overall to 22nd, an 18 pick difference, something that would cost Maybin millions on his first contract. I'm not saying mock drafts are bad or stupid because they are not. They give football fanatics like myself some momentary entertainment throughout the football off-season, and some of them turn up to be knowledgeable. However, at this point of the offseason, they are not accurate, and at times, just look stupid.
