Mock Draft 2.0: The QB Edition
I posted my first run of a first-round mock on Tuesday. This morning, I decided to take another look at the board with a QB spin. Let’s call it what it is. While you may not be enamored with any number of these players, the list of teams in need of a new signal caller is an extensive one. As such, I upped the QB number from three to five in this version of the draft, which then had its domino effect on the board.
