Mock Draft Junkies Read Here

This time of year, Fantasy Football junkies like myself are craving some action. We’re licking our wounds as most of us didn’t win it all in our Fantasy leagues. So where is the action for all of us NFL-GM-Wannabees? NFL Mock Drafts and Rumors …
I read a rumor, can’t remember where … about a potential trade of J.P. Losman from the Bills to the Falcons. As a Bills fan this perked my interest and my wheels have been turning … There are also a ton of rumors that Dallas wants to trade up into the top of the draft to get Darren McFadden …
I personally see a “Snug-Fit” for a 3 way deal here …
Deals are hard enough with-out making them a 3-way, but here me out …
Atlanta…
- Who is the Atlanta QB next year? No clue is the likely response.
- Who is the current Atlanta OC? Answer … Mike Mullarkey
- What does Atlanta need most? Answer … an experienced QB to run Mullarkey’s system …
Dallas
- #1 Goal: Darren McFadden …
- Have 2 picks in the first round … & that’s still not enough for McFadden
- Have holes that require youth infusion … so can’t surrender the Ricky Williams package (aka the rest of their picks)
- 3rd party needed for help
Buffalo
- JP Unhappy and has asked for a trade
- have holes that one player in the top 5 won’t complete
- positions of need can be had at the end of round 1
- Alge Crumpler … fills a heavy void at TE (but he’s 30)
Things that don’t fit …
- Bills have extra picks in the 3, 5 & 7 rounds that they may be able to package to move up from the 2nd round into bottom of the first or very early 2nd to get a LB / WR / TE (ala the Poz move last year)
- JP Losman may also net them enough to fill a hole in a separate deal
- Atlanta may be in love with the idea of Matt Ryan … if he’s there when they draft, then all the dominoes for the 3-way will never fall into place
- Dallas may get smart and realize that their lack of CB and age at WR may be reason enough to maintain multiple picks at the end of round 1 where there should be good value at those positions (same reason Buffalo should be looking to trade down)
