    Lightbulb 2007 Mock Draft Trends

    Updated the wild night before the draft!

    • I started with "week 1" this includes a list of mocks that have been updated since January 1, 2007
    • Week 2 is occurring now and ends Sunday night or Monday morning, then I'll tabulate the sites and add to the trend lines
    • I have two separate charts, one with all players with 2+ votes, the other with the top 5-6 players projected for our slot
    • please check out my excel sheet and give some guidance as to mock sites to add to the list or really bad mocks to remove


    Thanks for the interest. Any any rate here we go

    Player receiving the majority of votes each week:
    Week 0: Troy Smith
    Week 1: Justin Blalock ~ reason for change...OSU gets dominated by Florida in the BCS title game
    Week 2: Justin Blalock steady #1, Michael Bush and Troy Smith picking up support
    Week 3: Blalock's solid lead, Bush keeping pace ~ no one seems to be judging D prospects well
    Week 4: People like Blalock or Bush, have no clue who else might be there (over 30 different players selected this week)
    Week 5: Blalock is steady, Bush gained an additional selection, still about 30 different players....
    Week 6: Blalock's losing his dominance on the projected pick with many of his lost votes appearing to go to vote grabbing machine Arron Sears on Tennessee
    Week 7: Blalock recovers somewhat, in part because mockers still seem to think he can play tackle. Arron Sears continues his rise, while Michael Bush and Troy Smith continue to fall. Antony Spencer makes a surge coming from nowhere. This seems to be the knee jerk reaction from losing AD with Spencer turning a respectable 4.7 in the 40 yard dash.
    Week 8: Suddenly mockers realize the Ravens would like to improve their O-line, others try to find the best AD replacement. Result: um...oh, Blalock is good.
    Week 9: Blalock is the popular O-line choice, but Kalil, Staley, and Grubbs remain quite popular as well. Mockers can't decide on the which AD-replacement to give the Ravens, but the reality is that the team isn't drafting to replace players, a common problem I have with mock drafts.
    Week 10: Seems like word of Staley's numbers are getting around as Sears is stuck low and Staley gains grounds on Blalock.
    Week 11: It took 11 weeks, but Blalock is now the #2 most popular pic, surpassed by uber athlete Joe Staley from Central Michigan.
    Week 12: Blalock and Staley dominate the projections by astounding margins.
    Week 13: Blalock is back on top, still far out in front with Staley. \
    Week 14: Blalock is still up there, but there is growing doubt about the availability of the two most popular linemen (Blalock and Staley) at 29, so there is a big surge of the "second-tier" popular picks such as Ryan Kalil, Ben Grubbs, et al.
    Week 15: They thought they had a clue...Ben Grubbs sneaks into the top slot over Kalil

    Exiled's Take on Draft 'Eve:
    Mockers seem to be realizing that Grubbs is a more highly regarded guard in actual draft circles (supposedly), then afterwards Kalil as formerly popular pick Staley is widely thought to be gone. Anthony Spencer is running up at the top defensive selection at 29.
