I decided several years ago that I don\u2019t like mock drafts. Yes, they provide a topic for discussion. Nowadays, there are topics for discussion up and\/or out the wazoo.<\/p>\n
So we do one. And I have a very limited role in it. It\u2019s compiled with input from a small network of people in the football business, one of whom slaps it together. I don\u2019t want any credit for anything that\u2019s right. I accept that I\u2019ll get blamed for anything that\u2019s wrong.<\/p>\n
Projected trades aren\u2019t included. Obviously, they\u2019ll happen. It\u2019s hard to try to predict them, because getting it wrong potentially screws up everything.<\/p>\n
Either way, here\u2019s the list. One of these years, I won\u2019t post it. Maybe that year will be next year. So enjoy this year, since it could be the last year.<\/p>\n
