Behind The Steel Curtain

● By Anthony Defeo
Yes, before you even ask, this is actually real. This is not an April Fool’s joke (that was weeks ago). This is not satire. I’m actually serious this time and have done a real mock draft for you to praise, criticize, mock (no pun intended), whatever. Why? For starters, out of all the satire I’ve done as a writer over the years, the angriest I have made folks is when I've decided to post fake mock drafts—even though all mock drafts are technically fake, right? Also, it seems like mock drafts just generate so much traffic, talk and reaction, there’s really no point in being a phony about one; I can actually get the reactions I’m looking for simply by being authentic and giving an honest effort to pick players.
