Alternative Mock Draft?

[Walter]

A reader sent me an e-mail with what I think is a good idea.

He said I should create a realistic mock draft where all of my picks are different from my real mock, just to show that anything can happen on draft day.

What do you think, should I do it?

Dang Walter, people sure do expect a lot from you. If you have the time to do it, go for it.

[bills_red]

you should have 1 with what you think the teams will do and 1 with what you'd do. Kinda like what the reader said

[bulldog0123]

sounds good to me...if you have time on your hands

[candyman82]

Walter, I think you should bring Abe Lincoln back to life

[Bluto]

While you're at it, why not factor in trades you think could happen. That way it'll be totally different from the current one.

Great idea

[Walter]

It won't be 5 rounds; most likely only 2-3

[bulldog0123]

3 sounds good
you dont need as big of a explanation though

[zclauser]

I think even just rounds would cover most of the surprise picks and trades

Well I feel like an idiot. I thought that Walter's mocks were intended to be "realistic".

He didn't mean it like that.

He said he liked my mocks, but thought I should create a new one that's completely different while keeping the realism.

I had this idea too but I just figured I'd write up the pre draft analysis to provide the draft range

[Leo Fender]

you should have 1 with what you think the teams will do and 1 with what you'd do.

This idea I really like. Then you could go: If I was their GM I'd see to their glaring need at [position] now and pick this guy.

I also like that idea.
