The FINAL NFL Mock Draft!

The NFL Draft is literally just days away. I'm so excited, that I just can't hide it. That means we are finally coming to an end with the mock drafts on the Ultimate Football Blog (insert sad face). However, before we call it a day for good on the mock drafts....we have to have ONE FINAL ONE!

This is my final version that you need to print out, laminate, and hand out to all your friends so they are in the know on draft night. This mock draft is made up using all sorts of different sources. I follow numerous writers on Twitter who are constantly spewing out NFL rumors and the such. I've also read numerous mock drafts and compiled a variety of different experts' opinions and tried to mold them into one. It's a tough task, but someone's gotta do it....so why not me?

Before we get onto the mock though, here's a quick guide to keep you informed with how I laid this one out for you guys......
