Pancakes Mock Draft is underway!
With anticipation reaching a fever pitch for the first annual Pancake Blocks Mock draft, it was inevitable the first pick would get leaked out. Sources indicate that Scott L., choosing for the Dolphins, will take Chris Long. They reportedly wanted to trade, but that's not allowed. Not exactly the Mario Williams breaking at 10PM on a Friday night, but interesting stuff nonetheless.
Okay, Scott himself is the source. The clamor to get this thing has risen, and I aim to please. Scott's reasons for the pick are after the jump. The Rams, headed by our very own Evan Silva, are on the clock and will choose Wednesday.
The Phins at #1 are going to go with Chris Long.
If we are committing 35M, We are going to go with who we feel is the safest choice. We are counting on Chris Long to be a Pro Bowl type player here for 10 years.
I also think this frees up a potential Jason Taylor to the Jags trade for the #26 pick – which would be a nice spot for still quality O Linemen on the board.
Not at all tempted to go Matt Ryan here- no chance he gets 35 Million guaranteed. And there are other QBs we feel will be there in round 2 who are better value.

Chris Long is the safe bet

If I were Parcells, I wouldn't hesitate to take OL Jake Long to be honest, but I agree he pulls the trigger on DE Chris Long. I'm probably one of the few people who believes Parcells won't even take a first day QB and will take the best offensive lineman available in the 2nd round.

How do we make our picks? I know we obviously go in order, but where do we post our pick?

I'd like to get in on this. I know my stuff. Do I need to submit a resume?
