The "Mocked" Draft

Once trades get involved, chaos happens.

So in my Mock Draft 1.0 and Mock Draft 2.0 I had one rule, no trades. It makes things super complicated, and it is way more difficult to predict what trades will happen and how much will be traded. Still, they will happen and it will turn most Mock Drafts into chaos.

That being said, I might as well give it a go.

This the Mock Draft 2.1, which will be a One-Round Mock with LOGICAL trades. I'm not going to pull a Colin Cowherd and project the Patriots trading up to number one to draft Sam Darnold. All of these trades will make a lot of sense, and fit both team (I would say benefit, but sometimes teams don't make smart choices).

I will add what was exchanged after every pick, but other than that the format is the same as the 1.0

1. Cleveland Browns: Josh Allen, Wyoming - QB

2. (Trade) Buffalo Bills: Sam Darnold, USC - QB

The New York Giants receive the 12th pick, the 22nd pick and the 52nd pick from the Bills.
The Bills get the 2nd pick from the Giants.

3. New York Jets: Baker Mayfield, Oklahoma - QB

4. (Trade) New England Patriots: Bradley Chubb, NC State - EDGE

The Cleveland Browns receive the 7th pick from the Tampa Bay Buccaneers and the 31st pick from the Patriots.
The Tampa Bay Buccaneers receive the 23rd pick and the 43rd pick from the Patriots and the 64th pick from the Browns.
The Patriots get the 4th pick from the Browns.

5. Denver Broncos: Josh Rosen, UCLA - QB

6. Indianapolis Colts: Quentin Nelson, Notre Dame - OG

7. Cleveland Browns: Saquan Barkley, Penn State - RB

8. Chicago Bears: Denzel Ward, Ohio State - CB

9. San Francisco 49ers: Roquan Smith, Georgia - ILB

10. Oakland Raiders: Tremaine Edmunds, Virginia Tech - LB

11. Miami Dolphins: Vita Vea, Washington - DT/NT

12. New York Giants: Minkah Fitzpatrick, Alabama - DB

13. Washington Redskins: Da'Ron Payne, Alabama - DT/NT

14. Green Bay Packers: Calvin Ridley, Alabama - WR

15. Arizona Cardinals: Jaire Alexander, Louisville - CB

16. Baltimore Ravens: Orlando Brown, Oklahoma - OT

17. LA Chargers: Mike McGlinchey, Notre Dame - OT

18. Tampa Bay Buccaneers: Derwin James, Florida State - S

The Seattle Seahawks receive the 23rd and the 64th picks.
The Buccaneers receive the 18th pick and the 120th pick from Seattle.

19. Seattle Seahawks: Josh Jackson, Iowa - CB

The Dallas Cowboys receive Earl Thomas from the Seahawks.
The Seahawks receive the 19th pick from the Cowboys.

20. Detroit Lions: Marcus Davenport, UTSA - DE

21. Cincinnati Bengals: James Daniels, Iowa - C/G

22. New York Giants: Will Hernandez, UTEP - G

23. Seattle Seahawks: Isaiah Wynn, Georgia - G

24. Carolina Panthers: Mike Hughes, UCF - CB

25. Tennessee Titans: Harold Landry, Boston College - EDGE

26. Atlanta Falcons: Leighton Vander Esch, Boise State - LB

27. New Orleans Saints: Arden Key, LSU - DE/EDGE/OLB

28. Pittsburgh Steelers: Justin Reid, Stanford - S

29. Jacksonville Jaguars: Hayden Hurst, S. Carolina - TE

30. Arizona Cardinals: Lamar Jackson, Louisville - QB

The Minnesota Vikings receive the 47th pick in 2018 and a third-round pick in 2019 from the Cardinals.
The Cardinals receive the 30th and the 225th picks in 2018 from the Vikings.

31. Cleveland Browns: Kolton Miller, UCLA - OT

32. Philadelphia Eagles: Connor Williams, Texas - OT

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.

Ever since I could remember, it was a treat to receive Easter Bread made by my grandmother. We would only have it once a year and the wait was excruciating. Now that my grandmother has gotten older, she has stopped baking a lot of her recipes that require a lot of hand usage--her traditional Italian baking means no machines. So for the past few years, I have missed enjoying my Easter Bread.

Top 10 Reasons My School Rocks!

Why I Chose a Small School Over a Big University.

191816

I was asked so many times why I wanted to go to a small school when a big university is so much better. Don't get me wrong, I'm sure a big university is great but I absolutely love going to a small school. I know that I miss out on big sporting events and having people actually know where it is. I can't even count how many times I've been asked where it is and I know they won't know so I just say "somewhere in the middle of Wisconsin." But, I get to know most people at my school and I know my professors very well. Not to mention, being able to walk to the other side of campus in 5 minutes at a casual walking pace. I am so happy I made the decision to go to school where I did. I love my school and these are just a few reasons why.
