Totally Accurate - Round 1 TFLOEG Mock Draft

It’s the time of year for draft research and mock drafts. To give the blog some content and get things going, I figured I would try my hand at the Totally Accurate TFLOEG Mock Draft. Rather than have everyone pretend to draft, and give away our hard researched strategies, this is my best guess at how the draft may go. I’m not at John’s level of crazy, so this is only the first round, but here’s what I expect to see happen on draft day. (Note – the draft order is completely made up by me, so don’t take it as accurate while making your preparations. All I expect is for the Commish to rig the process so he ends up with the pick he wants. JK LOL ;) )

1.       Sideliners – Adrian Peterson - I know next to nothing about Steve and his tendencies, so I’m going to do the obvious and have him take Peterson with the No. 1 pick. It’s safe and boring, but until I see otherwise I will assume that describes Steve.

2.       NINERS – Colin Kaepernick – The only thing I know about Stan is he is a 49ers fan. Stan wins the draft pick lottery with Aaron for the chance to draft Kaepernick in the first round. Aaron mopes and begs, but Stan refuses to change his mind, in retaliation for making up SIGWSM.

3.       THE GODFATHER – Peyton Manning – Despite the fact he is healthy, Aaron takes Manning with his first pick. You might be surprised to see him to pass on Gore or Davis here, but he shows his San Francisco love by taking the 49ers D/ST in the 2^nd round.

4.       What Are The Chances – Arian Foster – Curtis’ team without Arian Foster on it would just be too weird. The only thing that could stop it is if there was a Roughrider trying to make the jump to the NFL, which I don’t think is the case this year.

5.       Sexy Sacks Men – Any solid RB who ends up injured, like Jamaal Charles – I take what should be a safe/consistent pick, only to see him injured sometime before week 5. My weeks of research and podcast listening means nothing, as my season once again disappoints.

6.       WhiteKnucklers – Marshawn Lynch – Andrew takes his next favourite Seahawk after finding out he can’t draft John Ryan. At some point during the draft, Andrew mentions that it doesn’t matter who he takes, because it all comes down to luck anyways.

7.       NFL OWNER – Aaron Rodgers – Shayne takes Rodgers, for the same reason as Curtis’ pick; it would just be weird to see him go anywhere else. Shayne’s 20 pound laptop and NFL Ownership card make an appearance at some point.

8.       BISP – Andrew Luck/RGIII/Drew Brees – Mike doesn’t feel comfortable with anything less than 3 quarterbacks on his roster, so he starts his stockpile in Round 1. He once again brings a physical magazine to the draft, because he’s Old-school like that.

9.       oh that’s nasty – Ray Rice/Calvin Johnson – Dawson’s moderate NFL knowledge and general sports enthusiasm drafts him a solid performer who anchors his team for the rest of the season.

10.   The War Boners – Some RB who John has been high on for the past 6 months – While normal people are taking a break from football, John heard about this guy while listening to fantasy advice 1 week after the Superbowl. He’s been on the top of John’ draft list ever since.

From this point on, your guess is as good as mine. However, you can use this Mock Draft to help you formulate your strategies for September 2^nd. 3 weeks!
