I meant to update our incredibly huge mock draft database right after the Combine but then the insanity of free agency hit us and it just got left behind for a bit. Things have finally settled down a bit and I just now got around to it.
It turns out that since the Combine a majority but not all of the mock drafts have been updated. The ones that weren't, however, I have taken off the list so our incredibly huge database can now only really be best described as just pretty darn big. Just to go over some of the details here:
- There were originally 142 original mock drafts.
- There are now only 92 total mock drafts. This, of course, means that 50 mocks were dropped from our database.
- All mock drafts had to have been updated after the Combine to be included on the list.
- 22 mock drafts had the same picks for the Saints as they did when we first examined them. Those are denoted with an *.
Let's take a look at the breakdown shall we?
Player | Position | College | # of Votes | % of Votes |
Malcolm Jenkins | CB | Ohio State | 34 | 38% |
Vontae Davis | CB | Illinois | 31 | 34% |
Brian Cushing | OLB | USC | 7 | 8% |
Chris Wells | RB | Ohio State | 4 | 4% |
Rey Maualuga | ILB | USC | 3 | 3% |
James Laurinaitis | ILB | Ohio State | 2 | 2% |
Knowshon Moreno | RB | Georgia | 2 | 2% |
Aaron Maybin | DE | Penn State | 2 | 2% |
Everette Brown | DE | Florida State | 1 | 1% |
Clay Matthews | LB | USC | 1 | 1% |
Kevin Ellison | SS | USC | 1 | 1% |
Brandon Pettigrew | TE | Oklahoma State | 1 | 1% |
Tyson Jackson | DE | LSU | 1 | 1% |
Michael Oher | OT | Mississippi | 1 | 1% |
Okay, so this is all really interesting but how does all of this compare to what we saw with our first incredibly huge mock draft database?
Before | Now | |
Total # of Mock Drafts | 142 | 90 |
Total # of Players Picked | 21 | 14 |
Most Popular Choice | Vontae Davis | Malcolm Jenkins |
Combined Percentage of Jenkins and Davis | 45% | 72% |
Chance the Saints Draft Pick comes from either Ohio State, Illinois, USC or Wake Forest | 86% | 91% |
The obvious difference is that Malcolm Jenkins is now the most popular choice as the Saints draft pick. But what's also important to note is how much more consistent these mocks have become. The first database had five players make up 79% of the mock drafts. This time around we see nearly the same percentage comprised of only two players, Davis and Jenkins.
Anyway, that's enough analysis. Here is your brand new CSC pretty darn big mock draft database. Enjoy.
