Sports Illustrated's Andrew Perloff admits it's only a semi-serious look, but he wrote a fun mock draft for the 2010 NFL draft. So not only was he guessing what players might be taken, he also was predicting how teams would finish next season so he could put together a draft order.
The Bucs ended up with the, ugh, third pick, meaning they would go something like 2-14 in 2009 . (Actually, Perloff might be on to something there.) With the third pick, the Bucs would then take Oklahoma defensive tackle Gerald McCoy. Other notable picks: Florida QB Tim Tebow going 13th to Washington and USF defensive end George Selvie going 26th to Arizona. And one last thing: Perloff has the Chargers picking last, meaning San Diego might finally win its first Super Bowl.
Tom Jones doesn't sing "It's Not Unusual'' or shake his hips (well, unless you're willing to pay cash), but he does have plenty to say about sports. If it's funny, crazy, weird, irreverent or worth arguing, Tom has his opinions. So pull up a chair and get his two cents -- and give him your two cents, as well.
E-mail Tom Jones:
I'd be nice to have an update about the Paccio/Hattton fight. I've noticed that about the Times sport page, Boxing coverage is always limited. Whats up with that?
