At least it's finally April. When mock drafts (hopefully) start to make some sense. Free agency signings have slowed to the third tier, the NFL's annual meeting is over, and the parade of pro days are starting to wind down. In three weeks and a day, it'll be time to end the suspense and start picking players in Nashville. When we last did a mock draft in early March, the league's scouting combine had just ended. Antonio Brown was still a Steeler. Odell Beckham Jr. remained a Giant. Case Keenum hadn't reached Washington and Rob Gronkowski had yet to retire in a blaze of appreciation for his stellar nine-year career in New England. The only constant in the NFL is that it's ever-changing. Roughly a month later, let's take another crack at how things will go down the night of April 25. But first, our familiar reminder, your results may vary:
