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.
