NFL Mock Draft, Take Two

By Matt Hooper

Mock NFL drafts are hardly foolproof, especially those put together in early April. Since our last effort, we’ve seen a couple of trades (Chicago/Denver, Philadelphia/Buffalo) and a few key acquisitions (Atlanta snagging Tony Gonzalez from Kansas City) that have forced us into an update. So, just in time for today’s festivities, here’s take two of the Weekly’s mock NFL draft (first round). Bold indicates that our pick has changed from the first mock, which can be viewed here.
