Even though my father-in-law thinks that watching the NFL draft is akin to spending an afternoon watching tar cool or paint dry, it is one of my favorite events of the year. Some people look forward to the Oscars, I look forward to the NFL draft which this year is on ESPN on April 28th and 29th.
One of the best parts of the draft is the days leading up to it and all of the speculation of which team will pick which player. Mel Kiper Jr. is considered the top guru on the subject and even he is rarely right on more that 60-70 percent of his picks in his mock draft. This year seems more unsettled than in years past so whatever I pick here is sheer guesswork especially if any draft day trades are made. I will post another couple of mock drafts in the coming week.
So here is my NFL 2007 mock draft selections:
