Nearly one year ago, the Media Circus investigated a hunch about the multiple mock drafts entered by ESPN draft experts Todd McShay and Mel Kiper. After careful evaluation, we came to the startling revelation that they really have no clue what's going to happen.

Shocking, we know.

Through three rounds, McShay accurately projected 9.1% of his picks while the veteran Kiper had 10.5% correct. The caveat in those percentages is that Kiper and McShay each accurately projected only 4 selections through picks 7-99 and Kiper didn't get a single selection correct in the 2nd and 3rd rounds.

The realization that our draft gurus are just like the rest of us has forced us to debut our first ever Media Circus mock draft. We simply wanted to go on the record with our picks so that we could see just how expert-like the selections of uninformed bloggers living in their parents' basements can be. We guarantee that out mock draft will differ from the thousands and thousands available online. Let's just say we know that things start to get a little crazy midway through the first round.

Without further adieu...

2. St. Louis Rams - Glenn Dorsey, DT
Summary: The Rams already have enough motors on the defensive line.

3. Atlanta Falcons - Matt Ryan, QB
Summary: Ryan can throw and he likes dogs so he'll be an upgrade over past Falcons quarterbacks.

Summary: Uhh, Jason David?

11. Buffalo Bills - Devin Thomas, WR
Summary: Still waiting for Josh Reed to blossom.

Summary: Shanahan believes he'll transform into a hell of a tailback.

Summary: Mike Rucker is retiring

14. Chicago Bears - Chris Williams, OT
Summary: Recovers quarterback fumbles better than anyone on the board.

58. Jacksonville - A black quarterback

59. Indianapolis - Peyton Manning Fathead sticker

60. Green Bay - Barbaro

61. Dallas - Galaga Smith, Pacman Jones' cousin

62. New England - CT, Real World/Road Rules Masshole

63. New York Giants - A case of New England "19-0" T-shirts

We're staking our reputation on this mock and are prepared to place it side-by-side with Kiper's and McShay's to see who accurately predicts more picks.

No way they nail that Kool Moe Dee to the Skins pick.

The fat moped twin on the right is not as gifted as his larger brother but you can tell he has a love for the game. He should be a sleeper in the later rounds and therefor be a better value.
Kiper Fan, April 23, 2008 09:04 AM
I love this...we always love when Kiper comes on TV and say the "mom's basement" thing verbatim. He always looks like a trainwreck and is trying to predict the perfect draft, but he ends up getting 10% correct and subsequently goesback into the hole which he crawled out of just to prepare to do it all over next April.
Stupid italian guy from RW/RR , April 23, 2008 06:04 AM
CT is definately a masshole... good call..
Cole, April 23, 2008 05:04 AM
got it - thank youagreed, they do an awful job.
bk, April 23, 2008 05:04 AM
The Rams love motors. They'll take Long.
Chris Long, April 23, 2008 05:04 AM
WTF? Did my dad leave you stranded on the side of the highway so now you're taking it out on me? I know I can take that Wolf pussy any day of the week. I've gotta be on this list somewhere.
JB, April 23, 2008 04:04 AM
Cole, follow the link to the article about their picks last year and there's more detail. One thing we had to note was that we pulled a few of Kiper's 2nd and 3rd round picks out because he had bumped them up to his first round mock, so the numbers weren't even. Bottom line was that they both sucked.
Cole, April 23, 2008 04:04 AM
Not to be a nerd or an ass, I was just confused by the math. Basically you're saying Kiper was 6-6 and McShay 5-6 on picks 1-6 and then both went 4-92 for the rest of the day? All I was saying was that picks 1 and 2 are almost always intuitive/announced days before so really their only skill is guessing right on picks 3, 4, and 5.
Patrick, April 23, 2008 04:04 AM
Cole, just subtract 2 from their 'total correct' we listed and you've got your answer.
RB, April 23, 2008 03:04 AM
Great call on the Steelers picking up Mike "Spanky" Lavalliere. The city has never been the same since he left. Big Ben, Spanky, and Fast Willie on the same team......I can already envision the snappy headlines in the future..........
Cole, April 23, 2008 03:04 AM
accurate*
Cole, April 23, 2008 03:04 AM
If you do away with the first 2 picks, how acurate are their expect projections?
kegler804, April 23, 2008 01:04 AM
Red Fronted Gazelle!! Frickin hilarious! I love it!
bk, April 22, 2008 05:04 PM
The Chocodiles are a good pick because you can't get that kind of talent in the Midwest.
twoeightnine, April 22, 2008 05:04 PM
$20 says you get more right than Kiper.
H.I. McDunnough, April 22, 2008 04:04 PM
What a coincidence!! My mock draft board looks exactly the same, except I've got the Cardinals picking up Nathan Arizona jr., RB - Arizona State, in the second round.

Carmen Castillo

In 1982 Carmen Castillo batted a career low .208. It was then that teammates informed him that his hitting was likely to improve if he took the weighted donut off for his actual at-bats.
