The NFL Draft is only a few short weeks away and hope springs eternal for every team in the league. Who will end up getting selected in the First Round?

As always, free agency has changed the NFL landscape. Some teams like the Jacksonville Jaguars have given big money to bolster some of the weaker spots on their roster while others like the Denver Broncos have lost multiple key players to teams in need.

Let’s take a look at the first round and speculate wildly about who will become the next household name and who will end up the next Joey Harrington, Charles Rogers or Mike Williams.

Well, this got sad quick for us Detroit Lions fans — man were we lucky the crying Jordan wasn’t around back in the early 2000’s — but as they say FORWARD DOWN THE FIELD!

Now on with the NFL mock draft.
