With free agency signings winding down and the misinformation machine in overdrive, we’re entering the final stretch of Mock Draft Season!\u00a0 Below is my latest Round One Mock Draft put together using KFFL’s Mock Draft Machine<\/a>.\u00a0 In the category of Awesome-ways-to-kill-work-productivity goes, this is at the top of the list!\u00a0 I highly recommend.<\/p>\n

On to the picks………….<\/p>\n

\"Thank<\/a>

Thank you, KFFL!<\/p><\/div>\n

Analysis:\u00a0 I know I’m not the only one that has had Clowney\u00a0penciled in as the top pick for over a year now.\u00a0 He is special.\u00a0 It would take a QB prospect the likes of Andrew Luck for me to bypass Clowney.\u00a0 In a league predicated on match-ups, Clowney and Watt on the same defensive front is borderline criminal!<\/p>\n

I’ve got a combined 6 DL and LBs in the first half of this class.\u00a0 That speaks not only to the depth of the position, but the premium placed on disruptive defenders.<\/p>\n

Ultimately I think Mike Evans goes in the Top 10.\u00a0 6’5″ – 231 lbs.\u00a0 with 4.5s speed just doesn’t grow on trees.\u00a0 The WR depth in this class is incredible.\u00a0 There are going to be WR bargains to be had in the 2nd and 3rd round.<\/p>\n

\"Round<\/a><\/p>\n

Ozzie Newsome\u00a0and Ted Thompson\u00a0continue doing what they always do: patiently wait for a super talent player to fall to them.\u00a0Gilbert is in a dead heat with Dennard to be the first CB drafted this year.\u00a0 He is a good get at 17.<\/p>\n

Derek “you have to believe me, I’m way better than my brother” Carr makes it 4 QBs in the first round.<\/p>\n

Like I said when I was shitting all over Ginger’s Mock 1.0<\/a>, I’ll take the under on RB’s going in the first round this year.\u00a0 And that’s not necessarily a knock on Hyde or Mason, both of whom I personally enjoy watching and think will be big time contributors at the NFL level, but\u00a0more of a statement on the environment of the\u00a0league today.\u00a0 It’s a passing-first (second, and third) league.\u00a0 QB, Pass-rusher, CB, OL and WR are much more valuable than running backs.\u00a0 The Texans and Vikings have had the most productive running backs in the league for a few years in Arian Foster and Adrian Peterson, and they are both picking in the Top 10.<\/p>\n

\"I'll<\/a>

I’ll take this guy and you can have the guy that has a good “work ethic”<\/p><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
