The PFF Analytics Mock Draft 1.0

This is the mock that your general manager told you not to worry about because there is no way that your GM will pass up the generational run-stuffing interior lineman that you so desperately need in order to go from five wins to the Super Bowl. If you're looking for a running back in the first round, you might as well just exit right now, and while one of us was a run-blocking tight end in college, our ilk will be greatly disappointed in us if they wanted to see the next Kyle Brady on this list.

Is Taysom Hill a starting NFL quarterback? What we know from 15 career passes

Pittsburgh Steelers would be wise to move on from Bud Dupree

When you stick with a player through the rough stretches of their career, it’s only natural that you want to reap the benefits once they start to turn things around. By all accounts, that is what Bud Dupree did last season while playing on his fifth-year option. Dupree earned career-high marks in overall grade (77.7), total pressures (51), sacks (13 by PFF’s count) and forced fumbles (4).
