I much prefer Eisen and Mayock to Gruden and Kiper (although Lewis is surprisingly astute). ---

> [@Really\_Not\_All\_That\_Bright](#): > > He wasn’t really hyped _as an NFL prospect_. He was hyped because he was a college superstar _a la_ Tim Tebow. Some pundits gave him a first-round grade, but others thought he was a mid-round pick at best. And he has a personality. And his last name is Football. ---

> [@Dave\_Hartwick](#): > > Yeah, no. You guys want to whine about how your little game isn’t going the way you want in the wrong place, I reckon you should be open to criticism on how your fandom is the worst. My FB feed was full of NFL whining, and here we are in the perfect place to vent, BubbaDog. > > Seriously, dude, did you get your name off a dead Klansman? > > The NFL sucks, the fans suck. Fucking PSXer is an NFL fan. You’re an NFL fan. Case closed, but I care enough to continue. > > NFL fans are fans of concussions, unfair labor practices, talent tossed aside the moment of injury. Fans of blood sport who won’t shut up about it. Fans of a game that is no better than any other game, yet look askance when somebody says, “y’know, I don’t really follow football.” > > I suspect that I am superior, now that you brought it up. To a guy who goes by the apparently non-ironic handle BubbaDog and actually gives a damn about the NFL draft? I’ve met homeless people with more class, and I have more class than them. Ah! A soccer fan. ---

I’ve met homeless people with more class, and I have more class than them. Oh, don’t kid yourself. There’s plenty of homeless people out there who are nowhere big an asshole as you. I know that you have less class than the original Bubbadog. He shit out more class on my lawn then you’ll ever have. But thanks for playing along. Go play with your soccer ball. ---

Just in case you are missing the draft hype Sports Illustrated has posted the first mock draft for 2015. [http://nfl.si.com/2014/05/13/2015-nfl-mock-draft-cedric-ogbuehi/](http://nfl.si.com/2014/05/13/2015-nfl-mock-draft-cedric-ogbuehi/) ---

Pretty sure there were a few 2015 mocks even before the 2014 combine. [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/nfl-draft-overkill/687988.md?page=2)
