NFL Christmas: I Am Weez Mock Draft

weezel32

The NFL draft always feels special, even for those Raiders fans who suffered through the late Al Davis’ late years. With no sports for a month, and some (me) relegated to betting on home dart tournaments (don’t ask how that went), the draft feels needed this year. Back when I was in more dynasty leagues, I did more draft research than I have the last couple of years. That is not going to stop me from trying to sound smarter than I am with a mock draft, however. So, here goes… Cincinnati Bengals–Joe Burrow, QB, LSU.

Facing their toughest challenge yet in their final regular season game, Justin Townsend’s Fairfield Mules finished off their third straight undefeated regular season with a 35-13 win at the rival Eldorado Eagles. The final score looks like a blowout, but the Eagles led early and ran the ball right at the Mule defense with success, but a fumble, a short punt and fourth down conversion rate proved costly for the Eagles. They were 0-for-3 on fourth down attempts, after going 5-of-9 on third down. The Mules were stellar in converting, going 6-of-8 on third down and 2-for-2 on fourth on … Continue reading Mules Finish BDC Play 9-0 For Third Straight Year; Draw Alton Marquette In Playoffs
