Behind The Steel Curtain

The NFL Draft is only six days away, ladies and gentlemen! With much shifting in the world of draft rumors, it is time for mock draft 4.0! I am not going to belabor the mock with a flowery introduction, but I do want to give you an update on the scheduled draft content for the upcoming week. The final two positional big boards (linebacker and defensive line) will come out early in the week, as will my ideal Steelers 7-round mock draft. Our final top 250 big board, along with our all new big board site, will be coming as well, likely either Wednesday or early Thursday morning of next week. All of this will lead up to my annual 7-round NFL mock draft 5.0, which will give my prediction for all 259 picks in the draft. This final mock draft will be released the Thursday morning of the draft. Now, getting back to the mock, the rules have not changed. For those that are new, let me explain how my mock drafts work. Each draft cycle, I have five NFL mock drafts, with the final 5.0 mock draft being a full, seven-round projection. Most importantly, these mocks are a projection based off what I am hearing and think makes the most sense. They are not based on what I want to happen or what I would do if I was the general manager for each team.
