Noticed that i posted my Mock Draft here once ... back in 2011. lol
Six years later, here is my most recent mock. It's from before the Senior Bowl, right when the practices had started.
Not sure how many NFL fans are still left here (that aren't already on my FB and have already seen this), but ...
Round 1:
1. Cleveland Browns - Myles Garrett, OLB/DE, Texas A&M
Needs: QB, Edge, CB, RB, OL
Garrett is the currently the consensus
I got too busy and couldn't do the position-by-position breakdown that I wanted to do. Instead, I will post my finalized mock draft for round one and two.
Keep in mind that these picks aren't the picks that I would necessarily make, but are the picks that I think each time WILL make. We all get to see just how wrong I am in about four and a half hours.
Round 1
1. Carolina - Cam Newton, QB, Auburn
2. Denver - Marcel Dareus, DT, Alabama
3. Buffalo - Von Miller, OLB, Texas A&M
4. Cincinn
To be honest, this year's crop of quarterbacks is pretty underwhelming. There isn't a stand alone slam dunk signal caller that is going to make teams salivate. What you do have is a lot of "maybe", "could be", and "has the potential to be" than you usually see in the first few rounds of a draft. In fact, there isn't a whole lot of separation from #1 to #7 on my list and I moved several of them up and down numerous times before settling on an order. No sir, there is no Sam Bradford in the 2011 N
8. Butler over 11. VCU
3. UConn over 4. Kentucky
Championship:
8. Butler over 3. UConn
I don't feel confident about any of these, by the way. What a crazy tournament this year ...
Yeah, I got busy and am late doing this. I realize the Butler game is over, but you'll just have to trust me.
4. Kentucky over 2. UNC (Only game I can still get points for.)
3. UConn over 5. Arizona
1. KU over 11. VCU
8. Butler over 2. Florida

11. VCU over 10. Florida State (No points)
2. UNC over 11. Marquette (No points)
4. Kentucky over 1. Ohio State

... but have nothing else to do CN-wise and decided to give it a shot. I'll have a lot to say and promise that my entries will be far more hard hitting than this one in the future.
For now, I leave you with my NFL Mock Draft v1.0 instead.
