Mock Draft Muncher
Scout.com is offering a pretty cool tool that combines the opinions of multiple mock drafts into one. Currently 40 mock drafts are being fed into the engine.
Check out the Mock Draft Muncher (which, in the aggregate, has us selecting Harvin):

By drilling into "click here" you can also look at mock draft timelines to track the rising and falling stock of players. In the case of our beloved team, the trends look like this:

A fun time waster as we all await news on where Cutler will end up...

Only problem I see is...
This site has Mark Sanchez being taken like 3 times. Same with a few other players. So it’s not an actual mock, it just tells you what most mocks are picking for any given team. It is still pretty neat though.
The second link is interesting. Crazy to see that most mocks from 2/14/09 to 3/6/09 have the Vikings taking Freeman. That is interesting, although I don’t see the Vikings taking Freeman, who is another project QB.

was just giving my opinion
I know there was nothing said in the post about it being an actual mock. I was just giving an opinion. Isn’t that what blogs are for?

Opinions are fine.
But it seemed like you were correcting him when it is blatantly outlined in the first sentence what it was, and what it did.

Yeah, I agree...
It is weird that Sanchez would go three times. But, that information, too, is helpful in a way. To me it suggests that a player like him has several safety nets and is unlikely to fall very far. A player like Oher, on the other hand seems unusually vulnerable. It would almost appear that if he falls out of the first ten positions, he could drop very far. While this tool is imprecise in the way you’ve pointed out, the upside of it may be that would allow us in advance to get a sense of who might be most likely to land in our lap as a value pick.

didn't think about it like that
That’s a really good way to look at that info. Brings everything into a new light
