Fact check: Did Pete Prisco make a comment on Walter Nolen in a live mock draft?

Checked on April 19, 2025

1. Summary of the results

Pete Prisco did make comments about Walter Nolen, but specifically in his Mock Draft 2.0, not in a live mock draft [1] [1]. The comments were made in writing, where he projected Nolen as the 13th overall pick to the Miami Dolphins, praising him for having "a ton of quickness and power" [1].

2. Missing context/alternative viewpoints

The original question asks about a "live" mock draft, but the available sources indicate this was part of Prisco's written Mock Draft 2.0 publication [1] [1]. Additionally, important context includes:

  • The specific role Nolen would play in strengthening the Dolphins' defensive interior [1]
  • This was part of a larger mock draft analysis, not an isolated comment [1]

3. Potential misinformation/bias in the original statement

The main inaccuracy in the original question is the reference to a "live" mock draft. This appears to be incorrect as both sources consistently refer to this as being part of Mock Draft 2.0, a written publication [1] [1]. This distinction is important because:

  • Written mock drafts tend to be more detailed and carefully analyzed than live commentary
  • Mock Draft 2.0 suggests this was a revised version of previous projections, indicating an evolution in thinking
  • Sports media outlets like CBS Sports (where Prisco works) benefit from engagement with both live and written content, but it's important to maintain accuracy in distinguishing between the two formats
