Mockery of Drafts

It is that wonderful time of the year again. Who do we draft? What position do we need the most help with?

What draft philosophy do we pursue? Best available athlete? Position?

I will have my own wild guesses thoughtful analysis to post soon. In a frenzy of cut and paste I perused the World Wide Web and found these offerings. I nominate NFL Draft Site for the most over the top selection of Jeremy Maclin at WR for the Texans No. 1 pick. Close second would be cddrafts for their choice of a HB, Chris Wells.

I surveyed 16 mock draft sites. I was shooting for 20 but got bored. The consensus position is DE with eight of the sixteen picking a DE for the Texans. That is followed by CB with 5, two for a LB and then our WR and HB guys with one each respectively.
