Mock Draft Quick Board

As we creep closer and closer to the draft some things are becoming more clear while others are becoming more foggy. The smokescreens have been implemented a long time ago but visibility has not gotten any better. "Experts" everywhere are left virtually clueless as to what may actually pan out in this year's extravaganza while scouts, coaches, and general managers continuously tweak their draft boards and draw up their game plans.

I too have been changing things along my mock. Everyday it seems I feel a little bit different about certain prospects, particularly the quarterbacks that are available. Personally, I am not very high on any of them. To me it seems that the defensive players that are available, such as Marcel Dareus, Patrick Peterson, and Da'Quan Bowers, are far more valuable and worth the picks at the top of the draft class.

With that mind, here's a look at my updated draft board. Needless to say, it will change again before draft day comes.
