Happy Draft Day: Here’s a collection of mocks

As we get ready to wrap up our own mock draft and as the hours count down until the *actual* NFL draft begins, I thought it would be interesting to collect a few of the mock drafts that some of the NFL’s beat reporters have put together. So a handful of them are posted below, with links to the pages where you can read about their rationale.

The one thing that stands out to me after reading these – and after conducting our own – is that this year there is little consensus anywhere about what is going to happen, even at the top of the first round.

I’ve seen people predict as many as 10 trades in the first round alone. So the likelihood is that most of these will end up being even more useless than normal. But mock drafts seem to fascinate football fans and so, for your entertainment, here they are.
