Signed up for the Predict The Draft challenge over at NFL.com. I’m going to try and add some comments on why I think it may flow this way, suffice it to say I don’t consider myself an expert in any sense of the word when it comes to this. But I do think I’m going to hit on some of these. Luckily I have until the morning of the draft to continue to tinker with this mock.
Over at the contest site they have a aggregated community picks list that is updated every 24 hours. You can see my picks against the community picks on the NFL Draft Links page. Can see I’m not in line with a lot of the picks, but not far off on some.
