1st Round Mock Draft (9 Days Until The Draft)

I happen to love mock drafts. They are the only thing that allows me to talk about football between the end of the season and the NFL draft. Furthermore, as a Bills fan, my season is normally over a little earlier than other teams. Because of this, I begin to talk about mocks a lot earlier than others. I also spend countless hours watching college football so most of these players are not unknown to me. When the draft comes around, I will highlight the best players available and try to keep up with the draft pick by pick. Here is my first round mock draft:


1st - Indianapolis Colts - Andrew Luck - QB - Stanford
2nd - Washington Redskins - Robert Griffin III - QB - Baylor
3rd - Minnesota Vikings - Matt Kalil - OT - Southern California
4th - Cleveland Browns - Ryan Tannehill - QB - Texas A&M
5th - Tampa Bay Buccaneers - Morris Claiborne - CB - Louisiana State University 

Morris Claiborne will add a potential superstar to the aging Bucs
secondary

6th - St. Louis Rams - Justin Blackmon - WR - Oklahoma State
7th - Jacksonville Jaguars - Fletcher Cox - DT - Mississippi State
8th - Miami Dolphins - Trent Richardson - RB - Alabama 
9th - Carolina Panthers - Dontari Poe - NT - Memphis
10th - Buffalo Bills - Michael Floyd - WR - Notre Dame

Michael Floyd will try to help the Bills stretch the field
as their #2 wide receiver

11th - Kansas City Chiefs - Riley Reiff - OT - Iowa
12th - Seattle Seahawks - Melvin Ingram - DE - South Carolina
13th - Arizona Cardinals - Quinton Coples - DE - North Carolina
14th - Dallas Cowboys - David DeCastro - OG - Stanford
15th - Philadelphia Eagles - Luke Kuechly - ILB - Boston College

Luke Kuechly falls to the Eagles and they jump for joy at the thoughts
of getting a top 10 player at the #15 slot

16th - New York Jets - Mark Barron - S - Alabama 
17th - Cincinnati Bengals - Stephon Gilmore - CB - South Carolina
18th - San Diego Chargers - Jonathan Martin - OT - Stanford
