Honestly, who was the last person the Saints drafted that you knew was going to be drafted before they called his name?

There is no logic to apply, its mostly guessing, which is why no one does 1 mock draft and sticks to it.

I disagree with the last part. Anyone can guess. It's no secret that none of us can know exactly what will happen, but there is certainly logic that can be applied. Cooks is just a slot type guy. Those are a dime a dozen in today's NFL. You put small, fast guys in the right system and watch them go. There's no reason to trade up in the first round for one. If we're going to draft a WR in the first, at all, it would make far more sense to go with more of an outside threat.

That's my logic, and I AM sticking to it. All this mock crap gets on my nerves.

	If I had a nickel for every time I heard that, the NFL would fine and suspend me.
