I know, I know, another post about the draft. But hey, in a week it'll be over.
I'm not trying to take away from the Big Board, which is a great idea and I love that we're doing it. Still, I thought I'd post a board of my own. There are some differences; for example, I have Taylor Mays and Jason Pierre-Paul lower than the official Big Board does, and Dan Williams significantly higher. I changed a few things from the way I voted on the Big Board; for example, I moved Haden down to 11 since we got Sheldon Brown. I'm only going from 1-38 with this board, and most of these are just based on gut feeling; I don't know a lot of these guys very well, so you don't have to put a lot of stock in my opinion. Anyway I thought I'd post mine, and you can post yours if you like.
So here it is:
1. Suh
2. Berry
3. Bradford
4. G. McCoy
5. McClain
6. D. Williams
7. Thomas
8. Iupati
9. Clausen
10. Morgan
11. Haden
12. Graham
13. Okung
14. Kindle
15. Wilson
16. Bryant
17. T. Williams
18. Odrick
19. Weatherspoon
20. Bulaga
21. McCourty
22. Pierre-Paul
23. Price
24. Mays
25. Davis
26. Spiller
27. Allen
28. Hughes
29. Griffen
30. Tate
31. Pouncey
32. Robinson
33. Alualu
34. Asamoah
35. Gilyard
36. C. McCoy
37. Jackson
38. Lee

Here's the mock draft I submitted for Gahnki's contest. I thought, since there is not supposed to be discussion in that thread, you can discuss my mock and yours here, if you like.
1. St. Louis- Sam Bradford, QB
2. Detroit- Ndamakong Suh, DT
3. Tampa Bay- Gerald McCoy, DT
4. Washington- Russell Okung, LT
5. Kansas City- Eric Berry, S
6. Seattle- Trent Williams, OT
7. Cleveland- Rolando McClain, ILB
8. Oakland- Earl Thomas, S
9. Buffalo- Bryan Bulaga, OT
10. Jacksonville- Derrick Morgan, DE
11. Denver- Maurkice Pouncey, C
12. Miami- Dez Bryant, WR
13. San Francisco- Anthony Davis, OT
14. Seattle – from Denver- Jimmy Clausen, QB
15. New York Giants- Dan Williams, DT
16. Tennessee- Joe Haden, CB
17. San Francisco- C. J. Spiller, RB
18. Pittsburgh- Devin McCourty, CB
19. Atlanta- Jason Pierre-Paul, DE
20. Houston- Kyle Wilson, CB
21. Cincinnati- Taylor Mays, S
22. New England- Brandon Graham, DE/OLB
23. Green Bay- Charles Brown, OT
24. Philadelphia- Mike Iupati, OG
25. Baltimore- Jermaine Gresham, TE
26. Arizona- Sean Weatherspoon, LB
27. Dallas- Golden Tate, WR
28. San Diego- Ryan Matthews, RB
29. New York Jets- Sergio Kindle, OLB
30. Minnesota- Jared Odrick, DT
31. Indianapolis- Brian Price, DT
32. New Orleans- Everson Griffen, DE
Looking over it now, I think Odrick and Kindle might be too low. And the main reason I gave McCourty instead of Wilson to the Steelers was that the previous two mocks had given Wilson to the Steelers, and I didn't want to be a parrot. Also, Bryant-to-the-Dolphins is obsolete after the Brandon Marshall trade.
Mocking the Draft is having a mock draft contest of its own. I submitted this same mock over there, although I've since edited it to switch the Patriots and Dolphins picks. Be sure to get yours in; anyone can join, but they need 50 entries to make it "live."
