Since the 2007 NFL Draft is set to take place this Saturday, I figured it was time to roll out another mock draft. This is my fourth mock draft, and compared to my third one, there are quite a few changes. The very top of the draft doesn't change that much, but after that, there were a few shakeups.
It is very hard to predict exactly what will happen as many things factor into the process of making a mock draft. At certain points, some players really rise up the draft board and others fall down it. Then you have to consider how many teams provide false claims throughout everything and actually go in a completely different direction. Despite this, my latest effort to be as realistic as possible can be seen below.
I'll probably put up one final mock draft on Friday, the eve of the actual draft, to see how good my predictions are after the first round passes. Until then, leave any of your own predictions and opinions regarding the draft in the comments section. If you would like to look at my previous mock drafts then check out the links to them in the left sidebar.
