As explained in my Mock Draft 1.0, I always look to maximize each selection according to win-share value added for the upcoming season. Of course, my approach simultaneously factors in the free agency/trade acquisitions that have already occurred, as well as those that could be coming down the pike. And no, I do not allow myself to trade picks. With all of that in mind -- and with the flurry of activity that has already reshuffled rosters across the NFL -- I had something pretty interesting happen in this first-round simulation, something that's never happened before in all the years I've been modeling drafts in this manner:
Michigan
NC State
Oregon
Georgia
USC
Purdue
Utah
Iowa
Tulsa
Florida
Texas A&M
Notre Dame
Alabama
Cincinnati
Mississippi State
Florida State
Ohio State
LSU
Washington
Arkansas
Northern Iowa
Central Michigan
Boston College
Penn State
Minnesota
