Mock Draft 1.0

First Mock Draft of the upcoming NFL Draft 

    1.  Cleveland Browns - Sam Darnold QB, USC

No mystery here, this franchise is still in search of its Franchise QB

     2.  New York Giants - Saquon Barkley RB, Penn State

Eli Manning still has a few years left and Barkley is the most impactful player on the board to help the Giants win now. 

    3.  Indianapolis Colts - Quenton Nelson OG, Notre Dame 

Andrew Luck missed an entire season due to injury so it's time to protect that max contract.

    4.  Cleveland Browns - Minkah Fitzpatrick DB, Alabama 

A flexible, do-all secondary player that will help build the back end of this defense. 

    5.  Denver Broncos - Josh Rosen QB, UCLA 

Denver's QB room is a disaster. Rosen is ready to step in and start week 1. 

    6.  New York Jets - Baker Mayfield QB, Oklahoma 

The Jets need a team leader and a QB...Mayfield is ready to do both.

    7.  Tampa Bay Buccaneers - Denzel Ward CB, Ohio State 

When you compete in the NFC South you need a pass rush and top notch secondary. Ward is a great fit here.

    8.  Chicago Bears - Calvin Ridley WR, Alabama 

The offensive weapon Mitch Trubisky desperately needs.

    9.  San Franciso 49ers - Bradley Chubb DE, N.C. State 

Pass rush specialist ready to impact this D line on Day 1.

   10.  Oakland Raiders - Roquan Smith LB, Georgia 

The best LB in this class with superb range and pursuit skills. 

   11.  Miami Dolphins - Tremaine Edmunds LB, Virginia Tech

One of the worst LB groups in the NFL gets a major upgrade on draft day. 

   12.  Cincinatti Bengals - Marcus Davenport OLB, UTSA 

High motor pass rusher with a very high ceiling but hasn't faced top notch competitors. 

   13.  Washington Redskins - Josh Jackson CB, Iowa 

Washington could go in a variety of directions but Jackson wouldn't surprise me here.

   14.  Green Bay Packers - Rashaan Evans LB, Alabama 

An outstanding talent to help the rushing defense get stops and get the ball back for Aaron Rodgers. 

   15.  Arizona Cardinals - Josh Allen QB, Wyoming 

The new starting QB for this franchise to build around. 

   16.  Baltimore Ravens - Mike McGlinchey OT, Notre Dame

Flacco has won a Super Bowl before and this pick might get him another one. 

   17.  Los Angels Chargers - Vita Vea DT, Washington 

A tough, run stopping DT who can also crash the pocket with havoc already coming on both ends. 

   18.  Seattle Seahawks - Orlando Brown OT, Oklahoma 

Russell Wilson can't run for his life forever. 

   19.  Dallas Cowboys - Da'Ron Payne DT, Alabama 

Sean Lee is often injured and Dallas can't stop the run without him. Payne eats RBs and spits them out.

   20.  Detroit Lions - Arden Key DE, LSU

Pass rush is how you get to Aaron Rodgers and win the division. The Offense can already compete. 

   21.  Buffalo Bills - Billy Price C, Ohio State 

The retirement of Eric Wood forces their hand here. 

   22.  Buffalo Bills - Christian Kirk WR, Texas A&M

Whoever is playing QB will need someone on the receiving end of his passes. 

   23.  Los Angeles Rams - Mike Hughes CB, UCF 

A talented player at this position with upside the Rams can't pass up. 

   24.  Carolina Panthers - Will Hernandez OG, UTEP 

A power run team needs help upfront and assistance in keeping Cam upright.

   25.  Tennessee Titans - Harold Landry, LB Boston College  

An aging LB core needs a shot of youth. 

   26. Atlanta Falcons - Maurice Hurst DT, Michigan 

Falcons could lose 2 players at this position in free agency and Hurst is a Day 1 starter. 

   27. New Orleans Saints - Derwin James, S Florida State 

Kenny Vaccaro is out and James is a rookie upgrade believe it or not. 

   28.  Pittsburgh Steelers - Micah Kiser LB, Virginia

Ryan Shazier's injury opens the door for Kiser to make an early impact. 

   29.  Jacksonville Jaguars - James Washington WR, Oklahoma State 

With the speed to take the top of defense and help the Jaguars make another deep postseason run. 

   30.  Minnesota Vikings - Isaiah Wynn OG, Georgia 

Interior Linemen is a need for the Vikings

   31.  New England Patriots - Lamar Jackson QB, Louisville 

The future of the Patriots. 

   32. Philadelphia Eagles - Connor Williams OT Texas 

Carson Wentz returning from injury could use a franchise level OT up front opposite of Lane Johnson.

Every time I turn on one of those myriad of cooking shows I see people who get up everyday and are excited about the opportunity to create new and exciting food, or maybe, just to remake the same food over and over and over again, but perfectly. You've got your chefs who take the morning market as an invitation for creativity.  On the other hand, you have your pit masters who try daily to perfect the art of the perfect ribs, or the masters of Japan who daily try to make you the perfect miso, or ramen, or roll of sushi.  And even though they've done it 1000x before, they don't mind.  They love it - they don't see what I see when I look at my kitchen: standing for ours, chopping incessantly, the temptation of take-out menus on the fridge.  Cooking for them is an art form. And although I don't understand their love for food, I can appreciate it.  Don't get me wrong, I love food.  Anyone who looks at me could tell I love food. But to be on my feet for 8 hours a...

Spurs Stun the Rockets in OT with Their Secret Weapon: A Time Machine

By
The Rockets & Spurs series is exactly why we watch playoff basketball.  The teams are evenly matched, both with their superstars, and playmakers.  It's got it all: Superstars, Team Ball, Coaching Rivalries (did you know D'Antoni has NEVER won a series against Pop? Not even with the Lakers in 2013), old men, rookies, injuries, OT, two-way blowouts and nail-biters. And with what looks like the Finals result no one wants to see brewing on the horizon, it may be the best playoff basketball we see for the rest of the year (although watching IT drop 53 was pretty amazing, and the Spurs/Grizz Game 4 was legit the stuff heart attacks are made of). So what exactly did Game 5 offer? Everything. We had back and forth. We had struggles and injury to Leonard.  We had flopping fouls.   We had a 39 year old dunk like he was 19 . Clint Capela is WAY better than I ever thought he was, and played that way last night . We had the Spurs from behind go without Leonard at the end o...
