Mel Kiper and Todd McShay have whiffed horribly at times, in fact they routinely only get 5 or 6 picks right in their mock drafts. If they were really as good as people think they are they would be GM's....but they aren't. The reality is the analysts don't know as much as they think they do. We took Billings in the 4th obviously they were much higher on him then any NFL team was. If we were just taking best available then we should have taken him in the 2nd and the 3rd. Remember when he proclaimed he'd see everyone at Det WR Mike Williams Hall of Fame ceremony?
It really does come across as ignorant that you think it is so easy. If it was that easy, everyone would do it.
Getting picks correct in a mock draft isn't the sign of a good gm. The reason people - even the best - only get 5 or 6 correct is because they can't forecast trades or the 1 surprise pick that has a ripple effect on everyone else's first rounder.
It would be interesting to see how a team did if they took Kiper's BPA in every round. It would be an interesting turnout.
