Whommmmmmmm….Whommmmmmmmmm….Whommmmmmmmmmmmm. That’s my impression of a rabid longhorn bull. I’m guessing that is what Texas Linebacker Jordan Hicks sounds like. Or maybe its the sound of an opposing carriers collapsing kidneys after he hits them. Whommmmmmmmmmmm!
At 6’1, 238 pounds, Hicks is not the biggest linebacker in the NFL draft, but he might be one of the most ferocious.
Whommmmmmmmmmm…Whommmmmmmmmm….Whommmmmmmmmmm. The Texas Linebacker played inside and outside in his college career. He rarely left the field in his Senior year tallying just under 150 tackles.
Hicks also had two interceptions, 7 pass break ups and 3.5 sacks. Hicks is one of the better linebackers in coverage available in this draft and those numbers speak for themselves. He struggled a little with injuries. He only played 4 games in 2013 and 3 games in 2012. But he came back with a vengance in 2014 playing every game for the Longhorns.
Hicks finished his college careers with just under 300 tackles. Then it was off to the combine where he ran a 4.68 40. Although the 40 time was not so impressive his split time of 1.53 was. Honestly do you really care how fast your linebacker runs 40 yards, the short distance is a lot more important. Hicks’ time in the three cone drill was by far his most impressive. His time was the 13th best mark among linebackers since 2006. So you know the lateral agility is there.
Some scouts criticize Hicks instincts and while they aren’t on the level of Perryman or Kendricks, he appears to have pretty good instincts on tape. However, what really jumps out about Hicks is his patience. This guy has excellent discipline and would be a huge asset playing behind playmakers like Suh and Wake. When Hicks picks his spot, he zeroes in and Whommmmmmmm….Whommmmmmmm….Whommmmmmmm
If I was going to compare Hicks to an Alien Weapon of Destruction I would compare this focused linebacker to a Hip Pocket Laser Pistol. Whommmmmmm….Whommmmmmm…Whommmmmmm

Whats up Oinkeroos!!!
Piggy here for annoucnment time. Look how excited I am! We will be doing a mock draft via poll voting for the next coupel of weeks. Here is how it works. Every few hours (whenever I have a moment) a new poll will go up. The Poll will have an option of 7 propsects who are “still on the board”. The first 6 will be the 6th highest rated players according to http://www.cbssports.com/nfl/draft/prospectrankings
The 7th is a write in option. If a player gets the majority he is off the board. We already started and Jameis Winston is the #1 pick of the draft – which seems consistent with the what most the experts think.
We will plan to organize a live mock draft too. Weeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee
Poll Mock Draft Update:
Tampa – Jameis Winston; Tenn – Leonard Williams; Jax – Dante Fowler, Jr.; Oak – Kevin White; Wash – Vic Beasley; NYJ – Marcus Mariota
The Jests selected QB Marcus Mariota, My condolences to the Mariota family.
The Bears are on the clock
2 QBs have been added to the list: Petty and Hundley, b/c sometimes teams reach for QBs
They will continue to be an option through the first round, unless some one selects them
Finsmob Unleashed 
When Lamar Miller went back and watched film from last season, he saw flaws.
He didn’t break enough tackles, so he put on seven pounds of muscle in the UM weight room to get up to 225 pounds.
And he didn’t catch enough passes (38 in 2014, with six drops).
So Miller has spent the offseason in front of the Jugs football-passing machine. He has worked on technique with standout wide receiver Andre Johnson, who’s now a member of the Indianapolis Colts.
On Tuesday, Jarvis Landry, Rishard Matthews & Lamar Miller were part of a group that caught passes from Tannehill.
GREAT TO HEAR! I think it is great Tannehill is working with his pass catchers already this offseason! Tannehill, Landry, Matthews & Miller = Veteran leadership!
He’s really worked on his game the last few years. You could see him grow as a RB, particulary in the blocking and pass catching areas. I’ve also noticed improvement in his ability to squeeze through a small hole, something he didn’t do particulary well his first few years in the league. Paired with Todd Gurley, we could have the best RB combination in the league in a few years.
Yeah, wasn’t he working with Frank Gore and other UM alums last offseason too? I hope he stays healthy this year and we utilize him more than 12 carries per game….
He only played 4 games in 2013 and 3 games in 2012. But he came back with a vengeance in 2014 playing every game for the Longhorns.
*
Man, that stat concerns me. Only healthy for 7 games in two years in college and undersized to begin with? How will he hold up against players who are bigger & stronger than anyone he faced in college? I am leaning towards pass……
Besides I want McKinney!
Bigger, faster, stronger.
That’s what the next several months will be all about for Dolphins offensive lineman Billy Turner.
“I’m ready to step into any position that’s going to be available on the offensive line next year,” Turner said, “and I’m going to be working all offseason with that as my goal.”
The physical skills are obvious, which is why Turner is one of those players who could end up making a big jump between his first and second seasons.
Ahhhhh the offseason. The season of hope…..
Phillip Dorsett had a great pro day yesterday
He may very well have moved into 2nd round
Very happy for him, but maybe out of reach for us
I like Hicks
If we pick up a true ILB earlier he would be a great pick up in the 6th or UDFA (I don’t think he makes it that far)
He can play OLB too
One of my favorites in this draft
He can play
Thank Al for pointing him out to me/this blog
I like Hicks also, but I think he’s a 4th or 5th RD pick. Time will tell. He’s a solid, steady player.
I think he is a 4th or 5th too
which is great b/c we have 3 picks int he 4th and 5th round
CBS has Hicks rated 131 overall , They have Ben Heeney at 128, Hull at 137; Geneo Grisson at 158, Bryce Hager at 162 and Ramik Wilson at 149
We have picks #114 (4th round), 149 & 150 (5th round)
and a need at LB
I think we are int he mix for all these guys
a lot of them can play inside and outside
Dcoral
I doubt Dorsett moved up any. Everyone knew he was fast already. I think Perriman really benifited from his pro day, because he didn’t run at the combine, and his sub 4.3 speed was a shocker. Dorsett is likely a 2nd -3rd RD pick.
Squiggly Piggly
Nice job on the Jordan Hicks report.
Piggy
Still hoping for a Hull and Tull draft? 🙂
I will Mull that over
That is the type of draft that would make my heart Full
its is certainly not Dull
It makes me feel like Bull
Those should be our LBs if I have any Pull
The worst movie I ever saw was Krull
New Poll up
With the 3rd pick of the 2015 draft the Jaguars select ____________
so far Jameis Winston and Leonard Williams are off the baord
and that actually sounds right to me
but I think its gets sticky when you get into the pass rushers
theis is where thatn run of pass rushers begins
I think I am going to expand the options to 10 options
Gotta say, as corny as it was, I loved Krull. Loved the cyclops dude.
its been a while since I saw it
There are now 10 options & other available in the poll
I think things get a little less clear after the first couple of picks so now there are more options
Seems like Omar wants us to take Gurley with the #14 pick, if we can’t move back.
All of the sudden Gurley has become the fashionable talk
I may have missed something – but I am under the impression that there are still a lot of unknowns in terms of his recovery from injury
CBS now has him at #18 overall prospect (ahead of Gordon)
So I am guessing there is some reason to beleive his recovery is going well b/c in the mind of many he appears back on track to being a 1st round prospect
FYI Paysinger is not a draft prospect
He is an FA LB who was last with the Ginats
He was on Oregon a few years ago
and was an UDFA in 2011
Sounds like a guy we bring into TC and give him a shot to compete
Maybe the kind of guy that can provide depth and be a factor on ST
http://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/2015/04/02/todd-gurley-starting-to-run-says-everything-on-schedule-with-knee/related/
Some news on Gurley
He is visiting teams and everything appears to be in track
I was watching NFLN yesterday, and Charles Davis and Daniel Jeremiah were talking about Gurley. Apparently, Gurley must have been given good news about his knee, because Jeremiah was saying that he has now moved Gurley ahead of Gordon due the good news on Gurley’s knee. Davis has always had Gurley ahead of Gordon.
Gurley is all of the sudden a big mover on draft boards
Dude has good timing
there is nothing like becoming a hot commodity in April
I wonder if he can shoot into the top 10
Raiders at #4?
That would be awesome if he shot into the top 10, and pushed someone else back
Its really possible Mike
Honestly, If I was the Raiders GM and I was confident his recovery was going well – I would take Gurley
Ordinarily I don;t like the pick
but the slump that team is in for the last decasde
they need to take a big risk and hope its a big reward
I bet the Raiders have monitored him given their early pick inthe 2nd
I would think all the top 10 teams considered him with their 2nd round pick b/c that is wwhere he is likely to go
So its not too crazy for one of those teams to see a guy getting hyped up that they previously fell in love with
then he goes from 2nd rounder to top 10 pick all of the sudden
I guess I am going to have to throw Gurley int he wildcard file along with DGB, Perriman, Alvin Dupree, Randy Gregory and Mariota –
guys I think can shake things up
I don’t think Dupree is a WC, I think he’s a legit top 15 pick. Gurley w/o medical questions is too. Gregory definitely is, and I have a feeling he stays top 15. DGB I think goes 2nd RD, or maybe the end of the 1st.
legit top 15 yes
but can they push into the top 10 or even top 5
Gregory might be the highest rated pass rusher on some one board
The Jaguars could have a bad ass defense this year. That team isn’t going to be a bad team for very long.
Why, because they got Odrick? lol
They look pretty solid. Secondary doesn’t look especially good though, but the front 7 look good.
LOL, no because they can add Dante Fowler to the mix and all good defenses start up front. Chris Clemons is 33 so Fowler can be groomed to replace him.
Gotcha. Fowler and Alualu is a nice combo.
Mike E, the Jags have some other good DL too. They had 45 sacks last year.
The Jagaaurs adding a pass rusher makes a lot of sense
Also they could look OL or add Bortles weapons
But I think a pass rusher is the way to go for them to help them build that defense up
Agreed. They can add OL and weapons for Bortles in other rounds. They also already have some good young weapons in D. Robinson, A. Robinson, Hurns, Lee and Thomas.
Our first pick will tell a lot about our team. If it’s a WR, it will be obvious they really want that big WR to mix in with Stills and Landry. If it’s an OT, it will tell you they’re a little worried about Albert, and are making sure they’re covered. If it’s an OG, it will tell us that Dallas Thomas is viewed strictly as depth. If it’s a LB, especially a MLB, it means Misi is moving back to SLB. If it’s an OLB, that means Misi is likely staying out at MLB. If it’s a CB, that means they have little faith in either Taylor or Davis.
What if it’s a long snapper?!? 😛
John Denney is immortal. LOL
Or they just want to get stronger at those positions. Depth at multiple positions was a problem for us last year when we needed it.
LOL @ Denney and it is true!
Great job Piggy!!!
Rock: Lamar Miller did indeed workout with Frank Gore last offseason. I’m partial to him cause he is a UM alum, I met him a few times, he improved last year and I expect him to do so this year.
Mike E,
Sometimes market conditions (draft selection process) dictates taking BPA if the player is that much better than the ‘need’ player being targeted.
Having said that, if Randy Gregory somehow slips to 14, it is possible he could be selected by Miami.
And I would welcome the pick 🙂
Pig,
I just don’t see how a WCO offense team like the Raiders would make such a high investment in a RB. I absolutely love Gurley as a player but a team with so many needs and a position as deep as RB in this draft (and an offense that relies on multiple receiving options on every down), I’d say the Raiders don’t bother with RB in RD 1.
Also RBs don’t carry the value they once did, especially one coming off of a knee injury.
Tim,
That too. Coupled with that and that Gurley has less value in a WCO offense than a pro style due to emphasis of the position in the O, I just don’t see it happening at all.
I still believe the Jags will go O (WR) with their first pick then D with their second RD pick.
Their defense is already solid and they need more weapons around Bortles (or protection pieces).
They can find a DE / DT in RD 2-3 from their position in the round (Danielle Hunter, Jordan Hicks, Eli Harold, Za’darius Smith, Michael Bennett, Gabe Wright, etc).
They have 3 good young WRs and they added Julius Thomas.
3 good young WR for sure but they are not true #1.

New blog…Draft season here: Why tight end is darkhorse need http://miamiherald.typepad.com/dolphins_in_depth/2015/04/draft-season-here-why-tight-end-is-darkhorse-need.html …
u no UM mens basketball is playing for NIT title tonight?
IMO this is the biggest issue with the phins in 2015.
http://dailydolphin.blog.palmbeachpost.com/2015/04/01/miami-dolphins-ol-situation-screams-send-in-some-guards/
Unfortunately getting a great OL takes time and 3 drafts. Ireland/Parcells and previous jerks in the FO f’d the franchise pretty badly. Hickey and Benton have done the best they could do I think in the short term.
I hope thomas takes the path of wade smith.
“Remember Wade Smith? The Dolphins took him in the third round in 2003 and after two forgettable years, he was gone. He ended up not just starting for the Houston Texans, but making the Pro Bowl.”
Al, I’m not even counting Blackmon at WR because of his suspension issues. But Robinson, Hurns and Lee have some good upside.
You think the Jags go Cooper or White?
How’s their OL?
I think it needs work. Not sure they go OL at #3 though.
Al,
What is a “true #1 WR” to you? I hate that expression. I think people have a million different definitions, and I don’t think coaches look at their offenses that way. I think they try to find a good mix of speed, hands, route running, and size to exploit mismatches on the defense. Is a number 1 your X or your Z? Why? Y?…who’s on first? 😛
Tim,
Fuckoff! 😛 (jk bro. I was bailing last night anyway. Just typical blog stuff. It sounds different to us then it does to our readers)
What’s up fuckface! LOL
I don’t buy into the #1 WR thing either. I know what people mean by it, like Dez Bryant is the Cowboys #1 WR, but that’s because he’s their best WR.
Tim,
Cooper may not be Julio Jones but remember what the Falcons did coming off a 13-3 season where they got great production from Roddy White and Tony Gonzalez -> they traded up and drafted Julio Jones to increase the receiving talent for Ryan. Harry Douglas role and talent level in that Atlanta offense was no different than Hurns, Lee, & Robinson and they felt the need to upgrade. Though I think Robinson probably has the most talent of all the secondary names I’ve mentioned.
Al
If you’re solid at a particular position, you don’t draft that position with your 1st pick unless the guy there is overwhelmingly better than any other position you need a player for. In other words, say Gregory is there, and we have him rated an 8 out of 10, but Kevin White is there, and we have him rated at 8 as well, you’re taking the WR because it’s a position of need.
Boulder, Wade Smith was a LT for us and he was thrown in there too early as a rookie. He then became a very good guard for the Texans.
well I hope thomas is on the same trajectory.
Ditto! It sounds like he’ll get a chance to be the LG.
Jahn,
LOL….typically the X, someone who can operate on an island without help. Anyway, the Z can do similar things I guess but is usually the motion receiver and lines up off the line. The X usually is isolated on the boundary and must be able to go up against press & zone while not moving pre-snap on the line. To me Hurns/Lee are classic inbetween the 20s guys who have problems in short space when things get physical and defender space is tightened. In Lee’s case, it’s because he’s a body catcher (keeps his elbows in when hauling in). Hurns to some extent likes to body catch.
Mike E,
Well, hate to burst your theory, but the Falcons did just that trading up very high from their original spot to take Julio Jones with Roddy White coming off a 1,400 yard seasons
can we move on in the draft? Fowler is clearly running away with the #3 pick.
Yeah it’s not even close.
Not one OG yet WTF?
I voted for Collins and a position change to help ya out. LOL…
Gigi
That list is impressive for UM
But what is also impressive is that 3 of the top 6 are the Florida Schools
Al
I see Gurley as a perfect fit for a WCO
He is a one cut and go kind of player IMO
Except with all the multiple receiver sets RB is not the focus of the offense.
I was referencing the Raiders not us
I think we are fine with Miller
So I don;t see Gurley unless he is a 2nd round or later pick
Jahn is eager to vite for the raiders….lol
One more vote and I will post a new poll
Okay
11 votes
time to move on to the Raiders
be up in a min
Hehe, I hadn’t voted yet, and I voted 1 minute after you posted this.
The Autumn Wind is a Raidah!!!!!!!!
The Riadaahs are on the clock
FleeNAH is not an option
Al
There are always exceptions, but BPA doesn’t mean you take the best player at any position, iunless that best player is significantly better than anyone else on the board. With WR, it’s different, you need 2 WR’s minimum on the field at the same time, unless you have a 2 TE set.
I think Miller and Williams are going to be our two main backs. I wasn’t too impressed with Williams early on. I felt he ran kind of reckless though he ran tough. But as the season went on he really impressed me with his receiving skills. If he improves his running with a year under his belt in our system, we’ve got a good combo.
I remembered you saying this, and tbh what you saw as reckless I saw as tenacious. As long as he’s not taking huge losses in the backfield or fumbling, and it’s productive, I don’t get too hung up on form.
He just looked like he was bouncing around and wasn’t decisive. I’d like to see him more decisive which is really what I mean. I expect both he and Miller to catch more passes this year.
Don’t you feel like the “bouncing around” mostly took place in the defensive backfield though? To get to the 2nd level in the first place is where I look for a “decisive” rb. Hitting the initial hole. I feel like everytime I saw him “bounce around” was when he got hit in the 2nd level and managed not to go down on first contact.
Just going off of memory…
you giving up on DT3 already? LOL
He’s gone, bro.
I think the Raiders have to go pass rusher here. They had only 22 sacks last year. They can still get a good WR in the 2nd round at #35.
Piggy: In my opinion the State of Florida produces the best and most talented football players as a whole. There is a reason Saban, South Carolina, Mississippi and several schools have a ton of players from Florida.
Well your new state has a couple of the top ranked programs HS programs in the nation which is where a lot of those SEC recruits come from. 🙂
You’re Oinking right FLA has the best football players!!!
No.
😛
Florida will always be home for me with Cali my adopted second home. 🙂 Obviously California and Texas are bigger states with more people so natural for them to have a lot of players, but I still will says the best players are from Florida.
This thing sucks. If you all go with an OLB here instead of WR, the value of this mock is useless. I will officially hate the voting method. 🙂
I picked Beasley
Just makes sense for the Raiders
yeah -so does kevin white or Cooper
but Beasley is a great athlete and they can use a little more pass rush
Look at the consensus mocks out there. Beasely is a DISTANT 3rd. I submit you all don’t know shit about teams that aren’t in your home market or aren’t called the Dolphins.
(jk/bb! :-P)
I gues Tim and I are the Beasley votes
According to Scout.com the 2016 recruits
Texas – 473
California – 401
Florida – 341
That is still good on Florida’s part as they have fewer to choose from!
http://recruiting.scout.com/topic/players?type=players&category=Football%20Recruiting&classYear=2016&league=HS&homeStateAbbreviation=TX
Whoah! Wyo steppin up to rep his new state!
My high school in Wyoming won the state tile about every 4th year.
I have NEVER seen Fanatical Football Families like they have here in Texas!
It is unreal!
http://www.ourlads.com/nfldepthcharts/depthchart/OAK
Raiders depth chart for your reference
I take a pass rusher over a WR every time unless like in our case, we have talent and depth there.
You should probably consider the players on merit too don’t ya think? Were the Cowboys replete with pass rush when they took Bryant? How about the Falcons when they selected Julio Jones (hint, Abraham was on his way out the door). Detroit when they took Calvin Johnson?
(I’m really asking because I don’t remember in the case of Detroit!)
There’s so much more to drafting than “pass rusher over WR every time”. That sounds a bit dogmatic to me.
It’s pretty much a standard throughout the league unless the WR is like a once every 25 year type player. I bet if you polled all 32 GMs, pass rusher would be the pick 90% of the time. I can’t prove that, but based on what I’ve heard over the years, I’m pretty comfortable with that number.
I don’t believe that. it’s dogmatic and teams aren’t dogmatic like that when it comes to drafting. If ALL other things are equal, yes, pass rush over WR. But it’s not pretty much standard or we’d see 15 teams go QB in the first this year and 10 more go with pass rush.
We look to have some good variety on this pick so far. Of course the Raiders have a ton of needs so that helps lol.
Not a fan of that WR group so my pick was easy.
10 votes in and its a 3 way tie
Cooper, Beasley and White with 2 votes a piece
So far this is the 1st close vote of the mock

^ WR homer
The Raiders just selected Meryl Streep
LMAO!!! And traded Derek Carr for Bruce Willis’ gardener.
Jahn, agree to disagree. WRs are easier to find than pass rushers and that is a fact.
Piggy, can you see who other is?
Breakdown of NFL players by state:
http://www.sportingnews.com/nfl/story/2013-09-18/nfl-players-state-by-state-breakdown-california-florida-louisiana-texas-south-ca
California population: 38.8 million
Texas population: 26.96 million
Florida population: 19.89 million
So Cali has twice the number of people yet Florida only trails them 225-186 in number of players in the NFL. 🙂
That’s because there is a large population of “like reaaally” girls and “narly” dudes. LOL
Alright, so are we still on the Raiders?
It’s really spread out with Cooper leading with 3 votes.
I think they take White, but I could certainly see Cooper too.
Omar Kelly ✔ @OmarKelly
To @CBStacy can’t throw a deep ball accurately, poor pocket presence, not a leader, too conservative as a passer.
I call bullshit, liar and hater on you Omar! I am a homer, but let me break this down.
1. Can’t throw deep ball accurately? BS There was recently an article about Wallace that broke down Tannehills throws and 65% were on target. (The incompletions were on Wallace in many cases) Plus he didn’t seem to have deep ball issues with the other receivers…)
2. Poor pocket presence? WHAT POCKET? The guards and center were constantly being pushed back into the “pocket” and the tackles were allowing edge rushers to loop around them to close the noose.
3. Not a leader? Fuck off Omar. I have seen him get in the WR’s faces on the field, send guys off the field when they were going to get an unsportsmanlike penalty, etc. He has a C on his chest and organizes offseason workouts on his own with his pass catchers (has done so for at least 2 years now)
4. too conservative a passer? I’ll just let this one pass. If he were less conservative Omar would be bitching about him taking too many changes.
All this is just my NSHO of course.
Noone liked my Mock with White, Gurley & Gaynes as the first three picks?
I think I will go up and fuck up the pole.
LMAO!!! Which pole, the North Pole or the South Pole, or the strippers pole? 🙂
I do agree that Tanny is too conservative. He needs to start feeling he can make any throw. I also agree he’s not accurate with the deep ball. Just because one person states it was Wallace’s fault doesn’t make it so. It’s totally opinion, there is no fact behind that statement.
Whoa, Kevin White takes a slim lead in a hotly contested race. This one may need a recount
I hope nobody is voting twice because that fucks it up.
I voted once for White
Did my vote for Bea Arthur count?
Philbin cited protection as a big factor with the deep ball. He said they’ve struggled with the 7 step drop the last two years and it has to get better.
OK, now there are 4 “other” votes. This Poll may need a redo.
well I was ONE of them. Bea Arthur to the Raiders!! What? She died? Oh well, I had heard she was “fast & easy”
Bea Arthur killed the combine. I think she was a late 1st RD pick before the combine
How do we get to see who the “other” picks are? Or can only the admin see?
Rock
I can’t see them. Maybe Piggy can because he created the poll. Not sure.

The Raiders could end up choosing Clint Howard at #4.
Bat
That’s a great idea. I’d have a hard time not setting it afire though
just make sure you are not wearing it when you do!
Clint Howard sounds like a ballplayer, maybe a baseball player. Don’t you think?
You thinking of Clint Hurdle?
Clint Hurdle, Ryan Howard, Elston Howard,
Bat
How have you been? Busy as hell? lol

This is an excerpt from the NFL rules regarding OTA’s.
Phase Two consists of the next three weeks of the program. On-field workouts may include individual player instruction and drills as well as team practice conducted on a “separates” basis. No live contact or team offense vs. team defense drills are permitted.
Now, I can understand how the Offense can practice like this, you know running routes against ‘no-one’, etc, but how does the defense work with this?
Ok, drop into your zone. Ok drop into your zone again??
LOL @ Bat – I hear that. I have littered this place with many a mock.
Dolphins’ Key Offseason Dates:
First Day: April 20
OTA Workouts: May 26-27, May 29 June 1-2, June 4, June 8-11
Mandatory Minicamp: June 16-18
is it just me or does the offseason seem to be going quicker this year?
Not in the northeast.
wow, that is three mock drafts in a row where white has fallen to me.
ewwwwww I don’t like using CBS Sports big board. There is noone fucking left by 14!
Mike … My favorites are the ones where they make a dozen or so trades to somehow accumulate 7 second round picks …lol
Bat, I like the ones where they turn 6 picks into 20.
Tim … LOL … Yes .. very realistic … Hickey should take notes …
What’s even funnier is the joy you sense from the proud mocksters. LOL
The Raiders are about to draft Other. LOL
Tim … LOL … Yes ..basking in the glory of their shrewd manipulation of the draft …
It’s as if they’re desperately waiting for a treat. LOL
I am not sure how I really feel about this Mock. I kept getting screwed the pick before mine came up with them taking the player I was targeting…

But at least I was able to grab Tyler Varga (fan favorite) in the sixth. LOL
I love the first 4 picks, and Varga, of course. lol
hell I even got screwed by the team before my pick @ R5P14
………………..Oh Wait I screwed myself! LOL (getting used to that now that I am getting divorced)
I would sign up for the first three right now.
And yes all drafts are required to have a Varga. LOL
I think I have seen Varga’s name on more mocks posted here than any other player including the presumptive pick (Parker) in the first round. LOL
