SB Nation writers mock draft starts Monday at 9 a.m.

This is the fourth draft I’ve been running MtD. As such, this will be the fourth year I’ve been involved with the SB Nation mock draft. Clandestinely run between the NFL site managers and select others, we’re going to burn through two rounds, with three picks a day posting.

Expect picks at 9 a.m., noon and 3 p.m. for the next month or so. There are no trades. We take the weekends off and once again you’ll get to grade the pick when it happens.

Also back this year is the wonderful Brian Galliford, he of Buffalo Rumblings. Across our wide-ranging network, there is no person I'd rather run a mock with than him. We run the draft a few days in advance in the background. His pick for the Bills will turn some heads. There will also be some content posted on SBNation.com involving the mock.

With that, Brad Wells of Stampede Blue (and MtD!) is on the clock with the Indianapolis Colts. Whoever will he pick?

He’s a bit of a liability in the run game, but his potential in the pass game was enough for Buffalo Rumblings.

It’s a high-potential pick for a Detroit defense that needs a solid pass rusher.
