Richard Lines’ Mock Draft v.2.0 – Final

1). Cam Newton – QB – Auburn This is a tough pick, as personally, I don’t know if any of the quarterbacks in this year’s draft are worthy of the number one overall selection. But, the fact remains that Jimmy Clausen did not play well last year and the passing game was down right putrid. [...]

Simon Clancy’ Mock Draft v.1.0

1). Cam Newton – QB – Auburn It seems as though this is now written in the stars. I often wondered whether a conservative owner such as Jerry Richardson sign off on Newton but the Panthers need a shot in the arm and it seems only GM Marty Hurney is truly still considering that Jimmy [...]

Final Top 100 List

This list is made up of what I consider to be the Top 100 football players available in the 2011 NFL Draft. This list likely will not suit everyone; as some players who many believe are quality players do not make the cut. Others will be ranked higher than you may normally see. I made [...]

Draft Winds: Here’s our picks for the Dolphins’ draft

But most importantly, we’ve ruminated about what we think the Miami Dolphins will do in the opening four rounds and this is what we decided. Much like last week our aim is to put our ‘reputations’ on the table by trying to predict who we think Miami will pick and why in which rounds. Last [...]

Draft Winds: Breaking down Dolphins in rounds 5-7

Thanks again for reading last week and for your comments. This week we’re entering the final furlong as this is the penultimate Draft Winds of 2011 and it’s where we put any reputations we have on the table by trying to predict who we think Miami will pick and why in which rounds. Next week [...]

Draft Winds: Lies, damn lies and Ryan Mallett

Ryan Mallett is a very interesting Sir Charles Wentworth Dilke coined the phrase ‘Lies, damned lies and statistics’ back in 1891. It’s unknown who coined ‘Lies, damned lies and character issues’ but come draft time it could be any number of ‘sources’, especially in the ever changing environment of social media. Mallett has suffered more [...]

Draft Winds: Breaking down Colin Kaepernick

The fifth-year senior and four-year starter is one of the more intriguing prospects in this year’s quarterbacks class. Not highly recruited coming out of high school because he was figured to be a baseball star, he redshirted his first season at Nevada but went on to become the only player in NCAA history to rush [...]

Draft Winds: Christian Ponder Special

The road Christian Ponder has taken to the 2011 NFL Draft can hardly be described as an easy one. Coming out of Colleyville Heritage High School in Texas, he wasn’t considered to be an upper echelon talent – which may have been related to him being a Wing T quarterback until his senior season.
