A consensus mock draft is just that, a consensus formed by the opinions of a group of highly-educated experts in a specific field. The 2009 NFL Draft will take place in the final weekend of April in New York City, but it?s never too early to begin projecting where college football?s best prospects will land.
Starting with the latest projections from RealGM Senior NFL Writer Jeff Risdon, we have combined all the most respected mock drafts out there to form a ?super? mock draft as we approach the offseason.
Editor's note: In order to tally our consensus mock draft, we ?awarded? players with points each time they appeared in an expert?s top-32. For example, Aaron Curry earned 32 points for landing first on Jeff Risdon?s most recent mock. Jason Smith received 31 points, Everette Brown got 30, and so on).
