1st Mock Draft

Well the Super Bowl and Senior Bowl are behind us, the Combine and free angency are just on the horizon and that means that we are squarely inside of draft season. In this lull in the sporting calendar we all need something to keep our attention and my sports drug of choice is the NFL Draft and the niche of mock drafts which are fascinating and utterly pointless. They are good content and they are great thought exercises and should be taken as such. If you disagree leave a comment and start a discussion. Now onto the picks... (Had this all written up and it didn't save so this original mock is presented without comment)
