We are officially less than one month away from the start of the 2011 NFL Draft. While the labor dispute between NFL owners and the NFL Players Association hangs over this off season, teams are moving ahead with their draft plans.
Coaches, scouts and player personnel execs are busy crisscrossing the country attending pro days and mingling with potential draft picks. By this time, teams have made a list of players they covet and players they want to avoid.
Some shuffling did take place in this latest mock draft, something I expect will continue leading up to draft day.
