My approach on reacting to mock drafts is pretty simple: I ignore most mocks because there’s simply too many of them and they’re often just exercises in speculation.
But sometimes during the draft season (the draft will be held April 28-30 in Las Vegas) I will write off of mocks when I’m intrigued by the selection. Such is the case with Daniel Jeremiah’s latest effort (he’s pretty good, too) for NFL.com.
Jeremiah has the new Raiders’ regime selecting Mississippi State right tackle Charles Cross with the No. 22 draft pick. That’s right — another right tackle.
