I just realized how much "Prime Time" is influencing this NFL Draft. I know, I know...some of you may be thinking "And the last horse finally crosses the finish line", but bear with me. Firstly, for those who live under a rock, the Draft is being broadcast in prime time for the very first time. You might not think this changes the landscape *too* much, but with an entire day to wheel and deal for 2nd round draft choices, I expect to see a lot of teams exploring trades once the dust settles on tonight. 2nd of all, a trip to "Prime Time's" humble abode might cost the (in my opinion) very best player in this entire draft to slip to a very happy team in the latter part of the evening. Most importantly, Joe Giglio and myself will be hosting the first ever Shore Sports Report NFL Draft Party at Mulligan's Bar and Grill on Hooper Avenue in Toms River. Prime Time indeed. But enough of the chatter...let's get down to the meat and potatoes. Its time for my Mock Draft! Will it be wildly inaccurate? Probably. Did I have a lot of fun putting it together? Definitely. With Joe's mock up and running, its time to see who wins lunch in the Annual Battle of The Co-Hosts. Wish me luck.

Well folks, there you have it. I don't know what I'm going to look back on as more embarrassing...Predicting two trades or putting Saint Tim in the first round. Whatever way you slice the cake, tonight is going to be a whole lot of fun. Come on out to Mulligan's in Toms River and hang out with us. It'll be worth it just to see our faces if one of our teams takes Jason Pierre-Paul.
