Welcome to William's Profile Page

I want to preface this with my opinion that drafting based on needs is overblown, and that most teams are more concerned with getting high quality players than they are looking good on paper. Take another look at recent NFL drafts and you'll see about half of the teams in the first round picking players at positions that didn't fit with their top three needs. It makes sense. General managers aren't fired based on how good the roster looks on paper, and this isn't fantasy football. If a GM lands one great player in each of his drafts, particularly in round 1, he will almost never be fired. If these picks seem to ignore top needs for your favorite team, it's because they are. As long as there is an opportunity for a player to get reps, I didn't rule any position out for any team. Of course, the Seahawks and Cowboys won't draft a QB in round 1 under and circumstance, but beyond the obvious, everything is fair game, because that's how the NFL draft really works. This mock draft is also based on picks that I think will actually happen, not based on what I would do at each selection.

Enjoy this mock. I have seen all these players in some capacity, most of them on film but some just in live action. I try to create this mock based on what players can excel for a franchise, rather than on what positions they need. My thought process is that a GM is always trying to save his job, and his job will always be safe if he can point to every draft and say that he found 1 star player that year, he probably won't get fired. Please post tons of criticism and feedback in the comments section, I would appreciate learning from people who know their team better than I do. I'll be adding a second round pretty soon.
