attempting an exact draft projection without a draft order set or any workouts and tests having taken place is a waste of time.

Prince is a lot of hype.


INT's may not be the best measure, but good CBs get at least 1 or 2 or even 3 a year.


People say "oh this guy is the real deal, blah blah blah."

Most havent even seen him play. Justin Blackmon abused this dude.

a pretty credible mock draft site.


No way you just used a fricking mock draft as a souce of what NFL people are thinking. Just because it comes up first when you google it doesn't mean its credible. There is no such thing as a pre combine credible mock draft.

Btw this "credible" website had Brian Bulaga as the 2nd OL taken last season and the 5th overall pick. He went 23rd and was the 6th OL taken. They had Russel Okung ahead of Trent Williams. They and Rolando McClain 15th. They had 10th overall pick Tyson Alualu going 48th. 12th pick Ryan Matthews going 28th.

If you want to just talk about DBs, they had Joe Haden going 13th (he went 7th). Eric Berry 7th (he went 5th), Kyle Wilson 20th (he went 29th), Kareem Jackson 30th (he went 20th), Earl Thomas 24th (he went 14th), Patrick Robinson 54th (he went 32nd).

No, I didn't. That's why I said not NFL people. I know you all like to take your dicks out to show who's right, but the bottom line is that predicting draft positions is a less than a science. Some teams will have one player over another and another team won't even have one of those players on their board. Bottom line: Prince over Peterson is a plausible scenario. Might happen, might not but it's not a laughable assertion at all.

I'll go ahead and make a friendly wager of $100 that it's the final result if anyone wants to take me up on it.

ahhh I see now. I thought u were saying "not NFL people" in response to someone saying they thought PP was better and then used a mock draft as proof. But you were saying the mock draft was not NFL people.

Look it up PP7 isnt even projected as a CB by some nfl people.He might play safety.Prince could go as high as #2 PP is looking like he is going 10th


I just checked Mel Kiper's big board. PP7 is #2 overall with the same rating as Andrew Luck, the number 1 overall rated player. They both have a 98 rating and are the only 2 players rated that high.

Key to getting interception while playing man coverage is errant throws from qbs getting pressure from blitzes


Or you could just out leap the WR and tipdrill the ball to yourself before returning it for ~ 35yards.......PP7 all the way.

Never, never bet on the draft.

PP7 can return punt and KO's from day one. This more than adds to his stock. Field position. Many teams see what a player does without the ball. PP7 has football smarts, something you don't have to coach.

PP runs a laser timed 4.37 40 yard dash. He will be the top DB.

that's actually McShay's/ Scouts Inc's. PP is 4th on Mel's. I'd like to see what Mayock thinks, but I don't think he's put anything out yet.

Biggest joke on there is the Pats taking Ingram at 12. Not because Ingram isn't deserving but the Pats won't pick a RB that high.

Picked Maroney in the first round and Bill wont make that mistake again.
