It’s a new year and a new offseason which for guys like me means once thing – more countless hours of researching free agency and draft prospects to bring you the best info possible. This will be my first mock draft since the Super Bowl and as such I will be focusing mostly on team needs in this mock and only doing one round. Around the beginning of March will be the beginning o the two round mocks that successfully brought some of the lesser names into your consciousness last year.
