Mocking the Draft Week in Review

This week wasn’t a very great week for NFL fans as Labor negations have broken down and ultimately headed to decertification and a lockout. The latest developments put the NFL in a lot of unknowns and leaves us hoping for a quick resolution. However, no matter what progress is made the 2011 NFL draft will take place so lets keep our focus on the positives.

This past week the Mocking the Draft crew continued their hard work bringing you a wide variety of scouting reports. The reports include Jason Pinkston, Martez Wilson, Colin McCarthy, Mike Pouncey, Mikel Leshoure, Allen Bailey, Chris Hairston and Phil Taylor . You can check out all of our Scouting Reports HERE.

The Mocking the Draft Podcast continued this week with a special guest. Dan Shonka joined us and discussed several different aspects of scouting. Dan is a former NFL scouting with tons of experience. Click HERE to listen.

Our series of team needs articles continued this week with the AFC North. Our staff broke down the top 3 needs for the Baltimore Ravens, Pittsburgh Steelers, Cleveland Browns, and Cincinnati Bengals.

The BUST-O-METER continued its countdown with numbers 14 and 13. Robert Quinn and Justin Houstonboth have some potential for busting. Click the names of the players for more detail.
