With Super Bowl over, it's officially NFL Draft season

in 2012 NFL Draft

PrintAfter less than 12 hours, the New York Giants' 21-17 Super Bowl XLVI win over the New England Patriots is already old news. We know what happened. The Giants had better athletes, the Patriots need a tall wide receiver who can get deep and high point the ball. You gorged on unhealthy foods. This is all in the past.
The present and future for the next 80 days is the 2012 NFL Draft. It's in season and will be more glorious than pumping an unsuspecting creature full of lead. Prepare yourself for conjecture. For Mel Kiper's Vader helmet of hair. For Todd McShay's oft-orange hue. For Mike Mayock's brilliance, as long as you don't have Time Warner cable. Everyone will be right. Everyone will be wrong.
Here at MockingTheDraft we'll be bringing it strong through April. We've added a couple of excellent new writers to the staff to compliment our wonderful incumbents. There are already plans to attend the NFL Scouting Combine later this month and the NFL Draft in April. Interviews with some great players are being arranged. Rankings, mocks and a bunch of analysis will be slapping you in the face like the reaction to your usual pickup lines.
It's all happening and it will be glorious. It's NFL Draft season. Prepare thyself.

Anyone got the Giants trading up to the second spot to get OT Kalil?
…anyone?
Time to shamelessly plug my book and short story!
I need to see the combine and free agency
I still have more questions right now than answers. Free agency and the combine will sort some things out.

Don’t you just love when QB’s that look like Eeyore have major success in a league full of Uggs models and GQ poster boys?

How great it must be to get paid for being an expert, yet be completely unaccountable for how laughably, consistently wrong you are.

Eh, whatever. Anyone who writes about the draft and projects players gets stuff wrong all the time. Kiper only gets. Rapped on because he’s on ESPN. How should he be held accountable for having an opinion, though? What, are they supposed to fire him for being wrong? Who would they replace him with?

Pfft. The guy is a blowhard with zero genuine credibility.
That goes for McShay, too, who was driving the Blaine Gabbert bandwagon last year.
These guys are like telephone psychics and astrologers, making a living off of confirmation bias. Every one they hit cancels ten misses.

I think the 49ers should take an ILB
we are hurting badly there…

Funny you should say that
I just involuntarily volunteered to take the n*ners for our community mock over at the TST. So you think an ILB is what you need? Actually I need to get a post up asking for team needs. I should do that later, I guess.

My view
Konz or another interior Olineman, S, CB (depth), A big athletic WR, a number 3 TE that may need to replace Walker in 2013 so he needs to be athletic. And an OLB.

There are already plans to attend the NFL Scouting Combine later this month and the NFL Draft in April. Interviews with some great players are being arranged.
Is it possible for the staff to interview some of the scouts too? Promise the scouts anonymity if they want it, and pick their brains for aspects they look for or red flags. I think it would add an element to our understanding of different desirability factors.

speak for yourself. as a bills fan, draft season began some time around week 8.
Its fun to think quarterback, but i think the odds of nix taking one in the first are close to 0%.
Do you mean when we were 5-3?
If so, you might just be a draft fan.

I've talked about pretty much nothing but the draft since the Bengals lost in the first round.
And I talked about nothing but the draft the entire way through 2010… and 2009… and 2007… and everything but the first five games of 2006.
So yeah, it’s always draft season!

Wait, no, not 2009.
That should say 2008.
