We are a long way away from the next NFL draft, but you know how it all works. All the predictions and conjecture on where guys will go that are in the college ranks for one more season are now a full-time, 365-day effort.
Heck, we even have a sister site centered around draft news, information, and mocks that gets plenty of eyeballs on it throughout the year. And as luck would have it, our friend Luke Easterling with Draft Wire just released his two-round updated mock NFL draft for us to scroll through.
