Dan Kadar's Mock and Big Board

Over the past 5 years, Dan Kadar has been among the most accurate draftniks as per the Huddle Report, which tracks such things. http://www.thehuddlereport.com/scoring/mockdrafts.shtml

In Kadar's Mock, he has us taking Gurley @#14 - right after the Saints take Parker @#13. He has a few surprises in his mock.

14. Miami Dolphins: Todd Gurley, RB, Georgia

Let's take the player and position away for a second. If I told you that you'd get the sixth-best player in the draft at pick No. 14, you'd take it, right? Sure you would, unless you're crazy. At its core, that's what this choice represents. Is it early for a running back? Maybe. Is it early for the sixth-best player in the draft? Nope. No one will care if Gurley reaches his status as the next Marshawn Lynch.

Here is his "big board" - www.sbnation.com/nfl-mock-draft/2015/4/9/8375363/2015-nfl-drafts-rankings-top-300-prospects-big-board

Found this interesting...

In the 2015 NFL Draft, there isn't an elite player.

The closest player to elite is Southern California defensive lineman Leonard Williams. He's the draft's top player even though he won't be the first player picked. Williams comes just short of the elite status because he has some deficiencies as a pass rusher.

Just because there isn't a singularly elite player in the draft doesn't mean this is a poor class overall. In fact, the 2015 class is quite deep with talent through the first two rounds. This year the draft is heavy on pass rushers, running backs and cornerbacks. For the second consecutive year it's also a draft rich in wide receivers.
