The 2013 RSP “Mocking the Mock”
I don’t do mock drafts. I have nothing against them. If I had more time, I’d probably get into them. They’re entertaining.

What if I told you Keenan Davis is a safer pick than Tavon Austin? I know, I can’t even say it with a straight face. Although an attention-getting joke, don’t laugh off Davis’ game.
