The staff at Furriners happens to love a good draft. I'm not saying we're having a draft party to watch the WNBA Draft or anything but I'd be lying if I didn't acknowledge checking espn.com to see where Courtney Paris was picked last year.
Also, as residents of the Detroit-area, the NFL draft is even more closely watched considering the Lions are so often picking near the top of the draft. Last year, while there was a healthy debate about whom the Lions should pick at #1 (locally, it was mostly between Matthew Stafford and Aaron Curry... with Pat Caputo wanting to take B.J. Raji). It is legend around the Furriners office that there was a national writer who put up a mock draft saying the Lions should take Everette Brown at #1. Everette Brown! You might ask "who is Everette Brown?" Well, he was the 43rd overall pick of the Carolina Panthers who finished his rookie season with 19 tackles and 2.5 sacks. I searched the internet for a bit to try to find a link to that mock draft but couldn't locate it. Whomever wrote it probably wants to scrub it from interest history. And I don't blame him.
The reason I bring this up is that I recently looked for an mock draft update from nbadraft.net. There most recent revision (as of today, 6/2) has Patrick Patterson going #6! They are officially f'n insane! I don't need to rehash what I think of Patterson but if you're just finding this site: please see here and here and here.
And I'm here to predict to that nbadraft.net is going to want to pretend in the years ahead that they didn't have Patrick Patterson in the top 6. They will be lying. Much like Pete Hoekstra.
Udoh over Patterson.
