Hey, we encourage comments. This is a great place to disucss, particularly because of the updates and mock draft tracking we do. As the guy that updates the Database, there is no real trend. For every mock that has Beasley number one, another comes out with Rose. The only real trend I have seen is that OJ Mayo and Brook Lopez are the consensus choices at #3 with Lopez away ahead. Jerryd Bayless who once commanded several mocks out number three now is barely registering. Top five pick, yes. Top three, doubtful.

It's going to be Beasley, Rose and Lopez. Lopez will be third, but I'm not sure who the Bulls will take. Miami wants Rose and might be willing to trade up to get him, though I don't know if they have anything Chicago would want. I think Chicago should take Rose, but right now I think they'll take Beasley. That could change, though.
