The Duke's Mock Draft 2.0 - 3 Rounds, no trades


THE DUKE

Recommended Posts

     I looked at this mock from the standpoint of the four most improved rebounding teams:

     The impression I get is that these choices lean toward the Best Player Available model.  Detroit takes a great CB, Christian Gonzalez, after having acquired two CB1s in free agency.  Chicago takes an excellent OT despite lacking a top 66 ranked CB.  Houston loses a tempo acquiring a brilliant OT but recovers well with two fine DLs.  Pittsburgh nails the NT requirement but whiffs on CB2.

     FWIW, of the four I like Detroit's haul best, if only because of the concentration on defense.

That's almost always where my head is at, try to fit needs, but don't take a lesser player just to fill a need.
