Now that we've done all the positional pre-draft podcasts with our good friend Greg Cosell of NFL Films, ESPN's NFL Matchup, and Yahoo! Sports, we thought it would be fun and interesting to try something we hadn't done before -- a mock draft podcast in which Greg and myself put on our GM hats and tried to reconcile talent with need. The basic philosophy of this audio mock was outlined by Greg in his most recent online mock for Shutdown Corner -- these picks are not about projecting what teams will do; they're based on our own player ratings and where we think teams are lacking in certain positions. (Note: I had to flip a couple picks from the audio mock, because my Bills pick was just bizarre in retrospect).

So listen in, check out our mocks after the jump, and feel free to tell us how crazy we are!

Greg's mock is my all time nightmare scenario for this draft. Not only does he take Lacy in the first round, but he takes him at 16. I don't care about Williams either. I'd turn off the TV after the Lacy pick and not even look at the rest of the draft. I'd probably go into a state of depression.
