NFL Mock Draft 4.0
My 4th NFL Mock Draft will be based on team needs. For example, I think the Chiefs will go after Geno Smith, that doesn't mean they won't trade down and select him a few spots lower. I don't think Geno Smith deserves to be picked in the Top 5 but, for the sake of this Mock, I will try to dumb it down.
| I will also give you free agent options (and possible trade options) that are out there right now that could sway your teams pick. Free agent Wide Receivers like Greg Jennings, Wes Welker and Mike Wallace may be a better option for teams who don't want to risk their first round pick on a Justin Hunter or Cordarrelle Patterson. I'm not saying it's going to be the cheaper path, but you better believe teams will be weighing their options. |
