WCG Rocks The Mocks

I'm not sure how they exactly relate (I'm going to refer to them as a partner site), but Shutdown Corner kept a running tab on how various experts did on their mock drafts compared to the actual draft.

I'm happy to announce the our very own ChiFan trounced them all and that I didn't do half bad myself.  The following is the rankings inserting us into the rankings.

ChiFan13, Windy City Gridiron: 12/32
Mike Mayock, NFL Network: 10/32
WCG, Windy City Gridiron: 9/32
Mel Kiper, ESPN: 8.5/32
The Big Lead: 8.5/32
National Football Post: 8.5/32
Rick Gosselin, Dallas Morning News: 8/32
Don Banks, Sports Illustrated: 7/32
San Diego Union-Tribune: 7/32
Shawn Zobel, DraftHeadquarters.com: 7/32
Todd McShay: 6/32
Peter King, Sports Illustrated: 5.5/32

Thus proving that we rock and they don't.

How do you get a half?

A guy goes to a team but after a trade? or a guy goes at a certain spot but not to the team that originally held that spot.

In response, FYI

For scoring purposes – 1 point was given to anyone who correctly nailed the pick exactly; .5 was given to those who had Tampa taking QB Josh Freeman, even though he went at 17 instead of 19, as many predicted.

From the site.

"A lot of fans were drawn to me because they knew that whatever the score was, I was going to run as hard as I could on every play. You don't have that now, you have guys waiting for next week or even next year." - Walter Payton

Do you have better hair than Kiper too?

How did the rest of us do in our Mock?

I picked Josh Freeman to go #17 (with the Jets pick, even though TB took him there).
Do I get a prize???

by Bearsguy34 on Apr 28, 2009 2:32 PM CDT reply actions   0 recs

The WCG Community got 4 picks right, SB Nation heads got 3

And your prize….hmm….Jason McKie might be off the team. That’s a big prize in and of itself.

I like McKie

Just dont give him the ball on the goal line 5 times in a row.

Good Job ChiFan13

I think might have gotten one right. Way to dominate.

Because as far as we're concerned, there is still no team in the history of the NFL that could beat the '85 Bears.
