CBus and Stout did darned well in the ASFN/BRS Mock Draft challenge.
CBus had 7 "direct hits" (players and teams) and accurately projected 28 players (out of 32) to be drafted in the first round.
Stout had 7 direct hits and 25 correct 1st rounders predicted.
Jersey Girl had 5 and 28 (way to go Wendy)
GarthShort had 5 and 26
Pariah had 2 and 24
Stretch the Field had 2 and 23
Yours Truly had (ughh!) 6 and 24.
By comparison, the media (which understandably has better access to various war rooms) scored better - but not by a whole lot.
Mike Mayock (NFLNet) had 10 direct hits and 27 correct 1st rounders
Kent Somers had 9 and 26 as did Gary Myers of the NY News
NFLNet's Carucci had 5 and 28.
Pat Kirwan had 4 and 27
Todd McShay had 6 and 27
Pete Prisco had 4 and 25
Harry Green had 6 and 26 as did USA's Wood.
I was surprised that, in so unpredictable a year, the number of correct 1st rounders was so high. And it tended to be the same culprits who were incorrectly pegged - (most notably Len Dale White, Winston Justice, Jimmy Williams, Ashton Youboty).
Thanks to all who participated. Full results are published in the BRS.
