7-Round Mock Draft: Darren Page

Where does Geno Smith land in Darren Page’s 7-round mock?
Darren Page, DLD Writer
This mock draft was written before the announcement of the Darrelle Revis trade, so keep that into consideration. Explanations stop at the conclusion of the fifth round, because explanations anywhere after are all going to be the same in effect: depth picks.

Tax Day Mock Draft
Jeff Risdon
It’s April 15. For most of America that means Tax Day, but for the NFL community it means 10 days until the draft. A few trades are sprinkled in here, along with a few curveballs that show how one change at the top can dramatically shake things up from the presumed status quo.

The “What I Would Do” Mock Draft
Monday, April 8th, 2013
Jeff Risdon, DLD Editor
This is my annual exercise in donning the GM hat for all 32 teams. In no way am I trying to predict what will actually happen on the final weekend in April. These picks represent what I would do with the given pick in the given situation, the opposite of my normal mock draft protocol. The effort is to see the team through the eyes of the GM in place and not interject too much of my own bias. As an example, if it was up to me the Titans, Vikings and Rams would all be taking 1st round QBs but that isn’t the way those teams would see things.

Mock Draft: One Month to Go! Edition

Eric Fisher as the Lions first round pick? I’ll take it!
Jeff Risdon, DLD Editor
Yes friends, we are down to just one month until the NFL Draft kicks off in New York City! I’ll be in Las Vegas for the event this year, which should give me a good gauge on the reaction from fan bases, as well as the opportunity to drink away frustrations at this being the year of the least accurate mock drafting by draftniks ever. If you can make it to Las Vegas, I’ll be happy to hang and we can catch the draft together. There will be plenty of surprises in this draft, and I took a stab at some of those here.
This edition goes out to five rounds and includes the comp picks through those rounds. I did not project trades in this one but be advised that many of the picks are more designed to match player with draft slot than team to player, particularly after the first 50 or so slots. I did less of that in this version than I typically do, for the faithful who have followed me for years now.
As always, this is an attempt to forecast what teams might do with the picks and does not necessarily represent the same choices I would make in the given situations.
