I fixed some of the backgrounds to make the text more readable. Let me know if you can't read any.

As well I would love to hear your feedback!

Good mock, keep them coming man!

Your shading looks good and all, but it is still a little rough to read. When I make flow charts at work etc., I generally stick with lighter shading colors and textures that aren't as dark. I know you want to use different colors, but if you stick to about 4 or 5 lighter ones and stagger them they will be far enough apart that it won't be noticeable you are using basically the same colors over and over. Just my two cents

Most of them are fine, it is only a couple that are hard to read.

Looked REAL good! Thanks for your work on it and letting us see it.

Can you imagine Indy forking over 90 million $ on a guy who is more popular than Jesus in the Bible belt only to have to go #1 overall on a QB 1 year later? That said, could they have picked a more opportune time to suck for such a talent like Luck?

When we suck, we're debating between Tim Couch (who had dirt and sand for a college playbook) and Akili Smith when we weren't choosing Scotty Milanovich over Kurt Warner and the 47% accuracy of Spergon Wynn over Tom Brady in late rounds.

Everyone ONLY wanted to hang Chris Palmer as if Carmen Policy wasn't the front office guy assassinating hope with every move. Everything our front office has done to our head coaches has put our coaches in check mate to the point of where it wasn't even required from our opponents. And when the front office announces "We're gonna compete right away" it's never a good idea to follow it up with "we didn't hire our first or second choice at Head Coach but we feel confident in Chris." Really? Then why would you make certain we all heard he wasn't #1 or #2? The front office job was to tickle that yes price tag that everyone on the planet has. They didn't compete right away so how could we leapfrog it down to expecting our coaches to? Never understood why we've been so patient with the front offices and hateful to the coaches that WANTED to win. Nobody wants to ruin their career when they get their first chance to be a Head Coach. Anyway, it's nice to see us getting more draft picks and talented young players these days. It should remove the handcuffs and nuisses around the necks of the coaches pretty soon.

BTW, the OC that suddenly woke up smart in Nashville this year is Chris Palmer. Having 2 offensive tackles that have been to Pro Bowls with a SB caliber QB and a RB that has gone over 2000 rushing yards reminds me the Jimmys and Joes are more important than the X's and O's. If it was only about intelligence - would Jimmy Johnson have needed the Herschel Walker trade? Would NE always have to stockpile huge draft volumes? Truth is even SMART coaches don't like playing gridiron chess with just pawns. Isn't that why we always like talking draft here? Deep down, we know we can't handle injuries like 31 other teams can. When we had ZERO drafts in 1996, 1997 and 1998 followed up with cruddy volumes from 1999-2008 - it's not an overnight fix to where all we have to do is hate the head coach or the poor coordinators. This is the first staff that inherits 2 good draft volumes in succession or at least we hope it is.

I have a hard time going CB, LB in the first round.. I'm not seeing it.. These 2 guys are good players for sure though from what I hear. Keep the mocks coming

I'm liking one of these WR's

2	*Alshon Jeffery	WR	1	South Carolina	Jr	6-4	229	4.56
4	*Justin Blackmon	WR	2	Oklahoma State	rJr	6-1	215	4.54
16	Michael Floyd	WR	3	Notre Dame	Sr	6-3	224	4.54
42	Nick Toon	WR	4	Wisconsin	rSr	6-2	220	4.52

I think the chances of us taking a corner first with Haden, Skrine, and Patterson in the mix is about zero. I could see either a free agent or third round pick.

WR, OLB, RT with the first three picks. Such screaming needs. I'd put another pass rusher over corner... but we will add another corner.

Kinda rare to see 4-3 OLBs in round one, too.

Agree 100% with both of you. I think we'll grab another CB in 2012 but no way will we grab a CB in the first round unless one really, really, really shines and stands out. Even then I still think WR is the biggest need on this team right now. I'd still love to see Burfict in a Cleveland uniform though.

Is anyone else surprised that Blackmon is only 6'1"? He plays much bigger than that. Much bigger.

Not a bad mock but I did see a couple things that stand out.

13: I thought Trent Richardson was a high character guy? I don't think he slings the drugs so I doubt Cinci drafts him. I'd swap Trent with Janoris Jenkins. Bongles use their 1st rounder to draft Simpson another customer.

28: The most impossible pick to project, the Pats 2nd 1st. We all know what's gonna happen but you've gotta put some kinda player there anyways so I understand, you can't really mock *Patriots trade selection for 2 2nds, 15 5ths, a 7th and a 2013 draft pick*

Janoris Jenkins to Cincy? Perfect fit, great point Kok! Who wants to bet this guy fails the drug test at the Indy combine in February?

Haha I like my money Jax, i'm not taking that bet! We all know odds are HEAVILY screwed in favor of him pissing dirty at the C-Bine.

I agree also we need a corner..but I don't see a 1st round pick .. I would not cry if we did. I'd love to have 2 shutdown guys.. I just think we get a bigger bang for the buck at DE or WR in round 1. It's just my opinion.. and we take a corner after round 1.

Meh, next year we gotta get some weapons man, the foundation has been built enough. If we are in any kind of running for Blackmon, that is who I would want. The Toon kid is nice too, but I am not sure about Jeffrey at all translating to the pros.
