Gosselin Mock Draft 4/10/09

[DaneMcCloud]

Gosselin also had Tank Tyler as a mid first-rounder a few weeks before the 2007 draft.

So did OTWP, Hamas, and most this board.

In fact, he was one of the guys many on this board HOPED we would draft with our pick.

Huh?

I don't recall a single person advocating that the Chiefs draft Tank Tyler with the number 23 pick in 2007.

I'd like to see some proof of that claim.

Here you go then...

This is from a thread titled, "Identify your dream player in the first round of the 2007 NFL draft!"

Amobi Okoye or Tank Tyler.

I'd prefer a LT if there's one available, but I doubt it.

I'd be fine with Ginn, Okoye, Tyler, maybe Pittcock.

I'm also going to pay close attention to Doug Free of NIU in round 2. It would be nice to draft bookend tackles who could be here for a f'ing decade.

This is from another thread:

Also, there was some HEAVY pimping for Jarrett that year. It's funny to see guys like Mecca saying WR's don't need to run 4.3s to be good NFL receivers when it's Jarrett, but yet Crabtree is going to suck.

All Jarrett and Rice have ever done is produce now they magically suck because of a few tenths of a second.....um ok.

These are the same people that would tell you Ginn is a great prospect and Jarrett is marginal due to speed and nothing else.

By the way coming from someone who watched USC play anyone who thinks Smith is a better prospect than Jarrett is high on crack.

Also the Sidney Rice thing is ****ing hilarious.........he'll have to rely on his hands his best asset wow, that must suck huh I thought that was what it was all about?

That sounds like a bunch of scouts that got mad he didn't run for them and decided to screw him over by saying he sucks because they were personally mad at him for not running.........great scouting guys.

Dwayne Jarrett from what I know of him isn't anything like Mike Williams. Jarrett looks like he wants to be the best player on the field every time out.

FWIW, the majority seemed to want us to take Amobi Okoye, Ted Ginn, Jr., Dwayne Jarrett, Patrick Willis (although everyone knew there was no chance he would fall to us), Levi Brown, or Robert Meachum

I don't think it's fair to quote people on January 10th.

It would be different if those guys said that Mid-April but January?

Talk about a reach.

That was just the first thread I read when I ran a quick search. Feel free to read further in this very thread where Orange quoted other threads from April that year.

I read a few but in no way did those people come out and say "I want Tank Tyler at #23".

But regardless, again, it proves my point the information given to the public and the "mocksperts".

None of us truly know how any team ranks these prospects until after the draft.

Hmmmm.

Dane's post says " a few weeks before the draft."

Doomy's so-called "evidence" is from the SECOND WEEK OF JANUARY.

Because, you know, nothing changes over 3 months.
