How much fun is this?
Have you ever tried to write up a mock draft? Really tried,
knowing that tens of thousands of monthly readers will be viewing
it?
Fun? Challenging? An entertaining exercise in NFL fandom, this
is not.
Frustrating? Sapping of volition? Emasculating? That's more
like it. The annual NFL Draft, our second favorite time of year
here at NOPF (behind only training camp) is a bittersweet season.
No team can really lose. All the real work is done by team-paid
professionals, whose job this is.
Well, mock draft prestidigitation isn't our job. It's a time-sapping,
cerebrally-draining effort that will invariably find disagreement,
dissension and disembowelment coming down from every angle of
public NFL fandom.
That being said, here's our first attempt.

Meachem may have been ready for the NFL
coming out of high school. Clocked at 4.28 in the forty
according to recruitment publications, he's added an inch
of height and ten pounds of bulk in the three years since.
In the NFL at 6'3, 210, he could be the sort of tall, physical
receiver that deceives you with size and blows past you
with raw speed. Think a less-hyped, SEC version of Braylon
Edwards. He caught 1298 yards against top SEC competition
last year, no small feat. And what better coaching staff
to take on this underclassman than the Saints', who turned
in a fantastic coaching performance with Marques Colston.
Don't be surprised to see the Saints go receiver in the
first round, as Payton is eager to mold a receiving corps
with his type of player.
