While I appreciate the hard work that everyone puts into their mock drafts, let's be honest, most of them are the same. Year in and year out we see two or three guys surprisingly end up in the top 10, and thus 2 or 3 guys fall out of it. It's a pretty inexact science. However, if you piece together who is supposedly rising /falling and make some educated guesses you can come with a different kind of mock which is what I am bringing to the table here. Sure to cause heated arguing, discussion, etc but certainly unique from the average mock on the board.

So, without further adu.......

Some bold selections cotton, let’s see if they pay off.

Some interesting ones that could happen. I’d like to see all the Mack drafts that different from rest maybe out together to cross examine after draft day

I like this mock. Nice job. Would have loved to see a bit of an explanation for each pick. I do not think it off the charts at all. You have Broberg and Caufield higher than many, Dach maybe a bit lower. Caufield is a wild card in this draft. I still see him in the 20s in some rankings and mocks. I think he will surprise. I could see Podkolzin dropping further than 5th. I could see Newhook creeping close to top 10.

I'm just not buying into the hype that Podkolzin will fall out of the to 10. I think the only reason people are thinking that is because he's Russian. He's still one of the top few prospects in this draft and just last year there was a Russian that went 2nd overall (Svechnikov).

Svech was already over here.
