The Sports Blogger's Round One Mock Draft

I figured I'd take the time to put up a condensed version of the Sports Blogger's Round One Mock Draft, so you can compare your pick with the experts.

I was kidding everyone when I said that I'd be grading this thing. With the exception of one "GM" every team drafted a need and a good player. Great job overall, and we'll see how we do the weekend after next.

Also, Hail Redskins was kind enough to add our Mock Draft to their overwhelming list of Drafts. They have the largest database on the internet, and it's extremely impressive. Check it out when you get a moment.

Thanks for putting it all together. I'm sure I was the "One 'GM'", but I picked as I would as a high school coach -probably not necessarily as an NFL GM - because that's all I know.
I also dig the VTech tribute with the color scheme. Well done.
This was awesome AA. thanks again for putting it together.
what's with the orange background?
cancel that previous question, I just found out why.
My, look how intelligent and good-looking we all are!
great stuff.
AA, are you going to post Round 2 when its finished?
it's not a matter of when, it's if it's finished.
Yep, i'll put a post up as soon as we finish the damn thing.
That was fun. Waiting for my turn in the second round -- not so much. At least my top choice there isn't gone -- YET.
At this point,the 2nd round should be finished the week before next year's draft.
i agree with mookie. and aa thank you for doing this , I was going to do a round 3 but seeing how long round 2 is taking i imagine 3 never finishing ever. If we are going to do this for the nba can i get the suns first pick... or the wizards ( is it too early to call dibs?)
I wouldn't do round 3 if i were you drdoom, and AA, can I get the Sonics 1st round pick if we do an NBA MOck Draft?
so who else got the hibachi collectors edition thingy from his site today?
I wonder if Leitch's inexplicable pass on Joe Thomas was meant to be commentary on the Cardinals' draft history? Or, most likely, he wasn't paying attention.
Great job running this!
