My muchachos over at footballburrito.com invited me to participate in a 1st round Mock Draft this week. I was more than happy to don my GM cap and proudly represent my beloved Eagles. Being the only representative with two picks, I had to study twice as hard.
Now, I tried to draft the way I think the FO should and will pick, but we all know predicting what they’ll actually do on draft day is next to impossible. At any rate, I followed the board and selected two players who I believe can provide immediate help.
I was also offered the following trade, which I turned down after serious consideration. The Browns acquired Chicago‘s 18th pick and offered it to me along with Braylon Edwards for both of my first round selections. I passed on Edwards’ piss-poor attitude and his hands of stone. Some may disagree, but I suggest you reserve judgment until you see who I was able to land.
I tried to leave my personal feelings out of the equation. For example, I didn’t draft Chris Wells, even though he was available. I realize he doesn’t fit the Reid offense, but I still like him.
Here’s the link to the mock. Feel free to bash me on my selections. One note: all of the elite tackles were gone by pick 21.

Hey, thank YOU, Scott. You gotta purty mouth.
I doubt they'd go after Laurenitis. My thinking was that he'd represent too much value to pass up at that point. With the RBs left on the board in this draft, I really do think they'd go for Mack. They've been terrible in short yardage for two years now and a good part of that falls on Jackson.
