The draft is here on Thursday. The lockout is (sort of) lifted. the NFL seems to be on track again. We all have been reading, discussing and predicting the draft. Mel Kiper and Todd McShay give us their mock drafts (if you are an ESPN Insider). SB Nation makes their projections. We even completed a mock draft with community members and ROTB writers.
Now what?
It's time to put your money pride where your mouth computer is.
It is time for each of you, the members of Revenge of the Birds, to mock the first 10 picks of the 2011 NFL Draft.
In the comments, simply list, in order, who you believe will be selected with picks 1-10. Don't worry about teams or trades. We only want to see if anyone can correctly predict the first ten selections.
What do you get if you do make a correct prediction for all 10 picks? Besides the obvious bragging rights on the site and with your peers, you will get an honorary draft expert certificate that you will be able to print and show proudly wherever you go.
So, to start, here are my draft projections:
1. Cam Newton
3. Von Miller
6. A.J. Green
8. Nick Fairley
9. Mike Pouncey
10. Jake Locker
Think I'm wrong? Then tell me and then give me your pick predictions.
