Well boys and girls (hopefully), looks like Double A has left us for greener pastures. Interesting.
Not as intertesting as this though (I hope), here is the first version of my annual mock draft of the first round. Take your stabs, it is likely not the first version, depending on what other information I come across as I emerge from my cave into the bright, squint inducing light of day.
Having going through many mocks and read many articles, I have to say that I do not envy the position Theodore faces this year. Regardless of how many times I mock it out he has his work cut out for him because the guys that are true value picks as well as guys I believe in as future Pro Bowl quality players just seem to be gone at 28. That leaves me with the hope that Double T is the aggressive Ted that I love so much rather than the more pasive version that makes me want to pull my hair out.
