Jerry Rice to 49ers: A mock-sy draft pick

Here's a really insightful read from a long-time NFL insider about mock drafts, the surprising impact they once had on teams' draft strategies, and some clues into war room politics.

Two items at the end of the article jumped out and pertain here (but you should still click above and read the whole thing):

"With one week before the draft, never believe any team officials' quotes, especially what direction they may be headed with their selection. It is not in their best interest to let anything out." This is very encouraging since Jerry Reese will be addressing the media for his pre-draft press conference tomorrow.

And,

"The Giants, Raiders, Dolphins, Jaguars, Cowboys and Packers are size/speed teams. They will pick players that fit the size and speed profile for the position. So think "big and fast" before putting a name in for these teams."

Maybe this will help you a few blogs over where Glauber is still running his Mock Draft contest.
