Here we go again. It's that time of year when about half of these mocks are made by lazy sport writers who do nothing more than remember what they read other articles saying about who drafted who and what each team's needs are. You see it every year. They read each others mocks and names get stuck with certain teams. It is like a rumor going around. I would bet my dead mother's ashes that half of these pundits that do mock drafts do no original research on their own for most teams, especially for our "insignificant" Cardinals.
No way they spend near as much time as even I do, researching team sites to read about needs and doing hundreds of mock drafts (dozens) for each team, seeing how the cards might fall differently when a team takes a different player in different drafts. Since I found Draftwired, I can't seem to do much else most days. I do at least one live draft with different team gms each evening, and I pick a different team to represent each afternoon or night. Before that I do a dozen or so mocks on my own representing that team with the computer drafting for the others. It has become an obsession with me.
So, in the case of mock drafting, I know what I speak.
