Ultimate Mock Draft - Round 4

Welcome to day two! The fourth round could see a ton of movement given the number of teams with multiple picks. San Francisco currently hold four this round and New Orleans is slotted to take three players between picks 123 and 126. Should everyone stand pat, there look to be some very interesting situations unfolding. Detroit puts their future in the hands of another Houston QB, something that has never worked out very well in the NFL. A large number of picks fall into one of two categories, a small school standout or a player overshadowed by a big name for most of their career. Akron, UTEP, Lane, Kent State, Hampton, and Fresno State (twice) all have their name called this round, each team hoping a former star will boost their profile with recruits. On the other hand are the schools we all know well, but names we don't. Doug Datish replaced Nick Mangold, a first round pick of the Jets one year ago, Rhema McKnight had to share the spotlight with a player who may not even be drafted this year in Jeff Samardzija, and Tim Duckworth saw Ben Grubbs, the guard he played opposite at Auburn, taken off the board early in the second round. No matter where they hail from, all these players have a legitimate shot to not only make their respective teams, but to make an impact early and often in their careers.

Marcus Thomas to the Vikings? Really? Have you not been following the team cleansing that has been going on in recent years!
Do you know how hard it is to get kicked off of a college team, especially an SEC team? They cheat worse than Al Capone's tax accountant. Outrageous choice.

You outrage easily.

Wait, are you enraged or outraged? They sound contradictory.
