2021 NFL BASIC Mock Draft by Grizzly - 3.31
There are three types of mocks 1) Basic (who we forecast teams will pick). 2) GM (who we would pick for each team). 3) Hybrids including contest drafts where we consider slotting in a range. This BASIC mock is my first this year. I'll leave the prospect analysis to Walt and Charlie

April 4: Stutz Bearcat Draft
What a draft this is going to be ! Maybe the best draft EVER for DB's, QB's, DT's and ILB's and TE's are VERY strong. 3 rounds (7 for Bears) Trades Because of the massive depth of OT's and small demand and the HUGE demand for Guards and the small supply, many OT's are going to be converted to Guards this year.

POST Mayock Kodiak Draft by Grizzly
3 rounds, (1st round trades only) Bears total draft found at their newly acquired 3rd round pick.Understanding Mayock: Is he important..Hell yes; more important than Walt or Charlie...Hell no. Look at him as a confirmation to 95%+ of what Charlie and Walt have been telling us all year. Miller, NFL.com, Kiper,the others are they important? They all have their strengths and weaknesses from local to positionally or composite. Blesto, National, PFF, Ourlads, Hub Arkush, White, Easterling all contribute to the massive business of scouting and predicting (as do others). If you're a composite mocker (like me) how do you weight all of these? LOL that is for YOU to figure out! Comments and suggestions always welcome.

POST Division Round TeddyBear Mock (EDITED) by Grizzly -
3 Rounds, trades: Cousins is acquired by Browns. Does being loyal include being shit on by Skins management? My odds: Cleveland 40%, DC, 30%, Denver 10%, Miami 10%, San Diego 5%, The Field, 5%, Suppose he doesn't? I smell the Eli- San Diego situation repeating Those who follow my mocks know I have been mocking this since the trade deadline passed NOW, Finally we see it picking up steam in both DC and Cleveland with the most recent being (via Twitter): @AlbertBreer said on @923TheFan: “Kirk Cousins would seriously consider the #Browns” if the opportunity presented itself.

2018 I'M THE GM Mock by Grizzly - Week 15
3 round draft I'M THE GM (for every team), trades. Draft Analysis: The key to this draft few are addressing is Cousins. Washington slit their own throat and even for a Bears fan that is sad to see. I explain exactly why Cousins goes to the Browns in my article and this changes the Browns fortunes dramatically for the future. Browns, Bills and Jets are loaded. POSITION ANALYSIS: OFFENCE QB Unique quality and depth will again define why it is by far the most valuable position in the game. RB A very deep quality draft with little separation after Barkley. WR Though light at the top tier (Ridley) this draft boast excellent potential to the large group on the second tier with 8 -10 prospects. TE is average quality yet also quite deep with most talent bunched in the second tier. OT an exceptionally deep and gifted class where quality can be found easily through 3 rounds. OG Outside of the lonely maestro at the top (Nelson) the class is average to above average. C, the class is slightly below average General comment There is plenty of bunching in this draft with little separation and plenty of what flavor would you like despite its deepness that will save or slay a few GM's...................................................................... DEFENSE: DT My God what a class of talent with no less than 6 having potential Pro Bowl caliber, and there is depth behind the 6 (or 7). Edge, though fairly deep (2 rounds) and bunched, talent for the gifted minor can be had through 4 rounds. Interior LB yet another class of potential monsters with excellent depth through 4 rounds. The 4 -3 OLB class is below average with limited depth. Corner is another very deep position with talent in the eye of the beholder. Teams should find talent through 5 rounds. Safety is exceptional at the top (2), strong on the 2nd tier (3 or 4) and deep through round 5. ............................................................... BEARS OUTLOOK: Did I mention I am a Bears fan and biased? Nope you won't find a bad draft for the Bears anywhere in my mocks. Yes it was painful for me to do my best for the Packers.. especially this week where they have a higher than normal position. Despite not having the ammo of some other teams Bears can have a great draft because of their position and bullying that. It is a bit chancy and nope, the press won't be kind to Pace day 1 (if he takes my advice) However if he tries my gambit the risk verses the MASSIVE reward is nominal. Bear Down ! PS, You'll notice I am not evaluating the prospects, if you want that there are others (like our host and Charlie) to read.

MID-Season SPECIAL I'M THE GM Draft by Grizzly - 11.1
There are obviously FOUR types of mock drafts ONE is the most common we see THE no trade draft where we speculate on who each team will pick. .Why experts favor this is always puzzling to me as there are always trades and never no trades. TWO The next most common is THE draft where we speculate who each team will pick with trades. THREE Then there is THE no trade draft where we are the GM of each team and finally the rarest draft drafts, FOUR where we are THE GM of each team and there are trades, this mock is THE fourth type. some call this trye of draft an "If I were King" draft. .

2018 Glacier Bear Mock by Grizzly - 10.14
2 rounds with a few round 1 trades . As always opinions and comments are welcome. Yet if you are looking for detailed info see Walt and Charlie's mocks. This is a PROJECTED DRAFT as opposed to if I was the GM for each team. DRAFT STRENGTHS: QB, OT, DT, WR; CB. DRAFT WEAKNESSES: TE, LB, G. C, Edge. All other positions fall into my average range. DRAFT ORDER As we move deeper into the season DRAFT ORDER is based on current record with my opinion on ties. you will find my top four prospects at each position here as well

2017 Jellystone Picnic Basket Draft by Grizzly - 12.27
Hybrid order/ 2 Trade/ 3 round Draft (seven rounds for Bears) Analysis: Obviously if the draft fell out like this it would be a Jellystone picnic basket for the Bears....and granted (like ANY mock) it is highly speculative and usually biased towards the mocker's home team (as in this case) . I have labored over each pick after studying the needs from 4 sources and avoided any blatantly HoMER picks (example Allen falls to Bears at 30) Comments (other than Bears) are at a minimum because Walt and Charlie's expert opinions hold more weight than mine. Suggestions are always welcome !
