Guest column by Benjamin Robinson
We made it, everyone! It's officially NFL draft week (or the week before the draft since that's when I'm technically writing this article). Through the twists and turns of a college football season that almost didn't happen to not having a combine, this has been another unprecedented draft process. I don't have much else to say, except: may the NFL draft odds ever be in my favor here and in The Huddle Report Mock Draft Contest.
A quick reminder on the ground rules I'm using for this mock draft. I'm not projecting any trades and I only take these things into account when formulating where I think a player is going to be selected and by whom:
- the player's Expected Draft Position;
- the drafting team's most mocked players and positions;
- the drafting team's history of selecting players earlier or later than expectation.
