Mock Draft for Historical Purposes

I, for one, always hate when people criticize other people's work, but never have the guts to put their own efforts out there for everyone to see. Since I plan on keeping a list of all the notable mock drafts for later ridicule (and praise), I feel compelled to provide my own listing of the first round so that others may do the same to me. You'll notice that I'm not listing the teams, because I am listing my draft in the order I expect the players to be picked. I believe there will be a lot of movement in this year's draft, so why bother looking at teams' needs? Here we go!
