Why? It allows me to play general manager, and that's something I love to do all year long. In the draft process, it's even more enjoyable for me.

So this is my who-they-should mock. It will be different from a lot of mocks out there, taking into account my evaluations of players.

Some will be right. Some will be wrong. Just like the teams.

I've had my share of hits, but had my fair share of misses. Let's not forget how badly the teams miss too.

The draft process has become a game of following-the-herd in my book. How dare you buck the trends?

It's that way inside teams sometimes. I've heard from scouts who say general managers hated when they pushed back on players. Smart general managers love it.

So take this for what it's worth — which probably is very little since I am not a real general manager. But having worked with many in recent years — right Rick Spielman and Ran Carthon? — they can tell you I play one a lot. And this is a chance to do it again.
