As the draft gets closer, I like to see what the consensus is, at least among the recently updated predictions. These won't mean too much yet, since they can't think about team needs and so on without knowing the draft order, and also because any moron can post a mock draft, and many do.
Just the same, when they reach consensus they're often not too far off. Although these will be pretty worthless still, I'll post them as they now stand, and we can look back in a couple of weeks when they're starting to mean something. In short, consider this post a placeholder for now.
#1. and #2: Looking over 37 mocks that have been updated in the last month, all 37 put Wall at #1 and Evans at #2. It may change later, but for the time being, you couldn't ask for more solid agreement.
#3. Tossup! Of the 14 sites that have posted or updated their mocks during this calendar month, 6 picked Favors, 6 picked Cousins, and 2 picked Johnson.
#4. Tossup! Again, out of 14 sites, 6 picked Favors, 6 picked Cousins, and 2 picked Johnson.
#5. Johnson - picked by 8 out of 14 sites. Honorable mentions go to Cousins, Favors, and Aminu, at 2 votes each.
#6: who cares? We aren't going to drop that low, and these things get less and less reliable after you pass the first few picks, so they're probably worthless this early anyway.
