Been searching to see what his take is on this year's draft but haven't found anything. Anybody see articles from him this year?

I recall several months ago he got promoted or something...maybe to editor? Anyway, because of his new duties (whatever they are), he has no time to do his mock draft.
What is interesting is that he apparently never watched film...he just did a sort of gut-level, meta-analysis of all the OTHER draft guru analysis and made his picks.

Gosselin was one of, if not THE, most connected sportswriter out there. His information wasn't just the luck of the draw, he had resources in every teams scouting dept. He's 1 of 7 people who get a vote on SB MVP every year

You guys are right. Came across this accidently on MSU's webpage: http://alumni.msu.edu/newsArticle.cfm?id=320...“I take a lot of pride in what I do. After the Super Bowl, I’m on the phone for two straight months. I talk to all 32 teams. I talk to coaches, scouts, agents, personnel directors—all NFL people who have access to draft boards.” Rick notes that the visitors to his mock drafts and players rankings on the web “rise dramatically” in late April. Pity he's done with it.
