My Pre-Combine 3-Round Mock Draft (no trades, + comp picks)! Full explanations for every pick!
I wasn't really sure if I ever wanted to do my own mock, but I had a bit of time last night and decided I'd put one together. I'm probably not going to do this more often than once a month, if I even end up doing another draft before the actual thing, but this was fun :)
I based this board 100% off of my own Big Board and based needs on the /r/nfl_draft Collaborative Needs Thread, so some picks may be a bit out there compared to a normal mock. It's a fun exercise to see teams go in a little bit of a different direction. Let me know how I did, please!
