Hello Pats Fan, I have another interesting email for you-all.

I think you need to update players size information. Many was incorrect. Limas Sweed, you have him listed as 6'1" in reality he is 6'5"..a huge difference. 6'1" 220 lbs for Dan Connor is entirely incorrect. He is measured at 6'3" 233lbs. Another mistake I found is Kentwan Balmer. He has weighed in at 288lb, 12 less than what you have listed. I will just list any others now. Calias Campbell, 6'8" 282lbs. Rashard Mendenhall, 5'11 224lbs.I hope I don't seem to "pushy," but I would like to help your site. I got all of my information off of walterfootball.com

First of all, I am always grateful when I get emails from other Draftnics. I have already received info from fans of the Packers, Cowboys, Seakawks, and the Vikings and adjusted my Mock accordingly. The most difficult part of doing Mock Drafts is understanding the needs of all 31 teams! I think Team Needs are the most important and hardest aspect of a Mock Draft. The more Team Needs you understand the more you can read the draft. Finding the key need to each team is the secret to unlocking who they will draft.

Second, I believe my heights and weights are as accurate as anybodies. This is a topic I have wanted to Blog for a while. Please note, I am doing a Mock Draft BEFORE February. I have NEVER done a Mock before February. And in truth, I feel stupid doing it. But, I had a lot of requests so I did it: Before Underclassmen declare, Before the Senior Bowl, Before the Combine, Before Free Agency, and before I really had time to study each teams Needs. In case you haven’t figured it out yet I think Team Needs are important;-)

Third, Heights and weights are vastly inaccurate currently, and will change as players train for the Combine. I usually find the lowest and lightest weights I see and take those. Height and weight are the most exaggerated and purposely misleading stats in sports. If Limas Sweed  is really 6-5, I’ll have him in my top ten, easily. Is Kentwan Balmer 288 Pounds? Maybe, but if he is you can bet his agent has him on a weight gaining program as we speak, or type, or read, or whatever;-) And, he will not weigh in February at the Combine what he weighs now. I still don’t believe Calais Campbell is 6-8, no matter how many times I see it. Mendenhall is interesting though. I have Jonathon Stuart rated ahead of Mendenhall because he is listed 20 Pounds heavier then Mendenhall. If Mendenhall shows up at the Combine between 220-225, I may have to move him above Stuart. I like Stuart, but Mendenhall is quicker and has that make you miss shiftiness that I love so much.

I will be adjusting all my heights and weights when they are listed officially from the Combine results. To list them before is really a crapshoot. And, If Dan Connor is really 6-3 and over 230 pounds he will be listed on my website as the Pats pick at 7, and I will be openly campaigning for the Pats to draft him. But, man as good as he looks on the field, he sure looks small to me;-)
