Please note that this is just for fun and that we are not experts. If we get three picks right out of all of these, we would be totally OK with that. We’ll be working on a 2nd mock draft now that we’ve had time to digest our first attempt and learn from our decisions.
Group Mocks: Mock 1.0 Mock 2.0
