Why would Philly trade up to 4 if both QBs are gone? I know he says stud DL but that seems suspect to me.
Hey folks, first off, thanks a ton for looking over the mock. I've done two a week for the last month, working through pretty much every scenario possible. I absolutely LOVED this version.
A note, I use FanSpeak and I never seek a trade first, I only make trades that are offered to me. It's a simple detail, but in the land of crazy mocks, it's one of the few measures of control I have to keep things realistic. In this case, Philly presumably loves Buckner so much they don't want Jacksonville or Baltimore to get their hands on him. Somehow, over the last two weeks the idea that teams are only going to trade up for quarterbacks has become a common refrain, yet it's the furthest thing from the truth.
Teams trade up to get players they covet, period. Position be damned. Anyways, be on the lookout for the next mock on Friday (likely a first-round mock for all 31 picks) a new full 7 round mock on Monday and then a final first round mock for Wednesday, which will be entered into mock draft contests for websites around the net.
Last year, my first competing, I was tied for 30th in the Huddle Report contest, nailing 25 of the 32 players selected in the first round, including 8 to the specific team (including of course my pet cat Byron Jones to our Cowboys).
So thanks again for showing my work some love, CZ is an awesome site. Cheers!
