Gentlemen, we have 10 GMs and a draft day set in place. I've decided to have a little fun as the season draws nigh. As I've said before, "the true test of how well you know someone is when you go purchase something for them." The same is true in fantasy football after a decade, too.

Last Friday, I thought it would be great to create a "Mock Draft" for the Elite's 2014 draft. I've seen it done over and over on ESPN...why not in our league, too?
