Most mock drafts attempt to project what the 32 NFL teams will do with their selections in the draft. This creates some awkwardness when an evaluator has to project a player to come off the board significantly higher, or lower than he’s graded out.
Not in this one. This is the one time where I put the GM hat on and make the picks based on the decisions I would make for each team.
This is in no way a predictive mock.
It’s a reflection on what I would do, based on prospect rating, positional value, team needs in both the short- and long-term, and fit with the coaching staff and style of play. It doesn’t necessarily correlate with the overall big board in part because some players are much better fits for one team than another.
