Most of your mock drafts show DAYS before the draft actually happened. I was talking MONTHS. Ugh. 
Point being? I interpret this as Frye being all over the board down to the draft. I didn't post this to prove anything one way or another, just posting some general info that actually proves BOTH points. Either way, feel free to try to find mock drafts "months" before the draft. I know I tried, and to find even dependable ones(not mocks that some 13 yr old made up in his basement) was quite a chore.
Ok, but you quoted me and provided something different than what I was referring to. So I thought you were doing it just to knock on me. I guess the other side of it could look at it that yes, there even right before the draft, there were some mocks that had him hovering around #20. The ones that had Frye at #8, was because they knew Frye had a guarantee. Not every mock drafter believed that Frye really had a guarantee at #8, since it was quite a jump for someone not that long before had been picked to go in the mid to late 20s.
Wishing everyone well. I enjoyed posting here for a while, but as I matured I realized this forum isn't for me. We all evolve. Thanks for the memories everyone.
