That's not exactly bold.

Well, this has pretty much blown my prediction out of the water...

The Bills take Michigan's water boy with their first round pick.

1.Roll Tide: all 5 top prospects -- DT Robinson, DT Reed, ILB Ragland, RB Henry, RB Drake-- are selected in round 1

2. Two to Tango : only Goff and Wentz are QBs selected in round 1

3. Half dozen: 6 DT will be selected in round1 ( most is 5, twice in past 20 years)

4. Up not Down: Belichek and Patriots trade up into round 1 for a DT (*per draft pick strip punishment, can only move into position as high as their original 29th position)

Is that right? That's a stipulation on their punishment? I hadn't heard of it before. That's awesome.

I did a mock draft based on the current order on (4-23). It will probably be way off come next weekend, but it was fun to do.

Looks good. Elliot in NY would be good for FF'ers.

I'm hoping you're wrong on Ragland, and he drops to the Bills, though.

Elliot would be a great fit in NY IMO. I think it's possible Ragland drops to the Bills. I think Oakland is definitely drafting defense first round though

Predictions not consistent with my mock:

Myles Jack falls out of the top 15 because of the knee injury concerns

Ronnie Stanley is actually the first OT off the board, ahead of Laremy Tunsil

Paxton Lynch goes top 10

Christian Hackenberg goes first round

Connor Cook will lead Denver to Back to Back Championships!

Buffalo will blow it and trade next years first rounder leaving our new coach next season a huge pile of Rex Ryan Poop!
