2011 NFL Draft: Final 2-Round Mock Draft

The time is here.

The 2011 NFL draft kicks off tomorrow night, and the first round is shaping up to be more unpredictable than any we’ve witnessed in at least a decade.

Quarterbacks and trades could be the two big storylines of this year’s draft. Trying to forecast the outcome is impossible but it’s fun to speculate.

After a few practice mocks, it’s time for the real deal, a full two-round mock draft.

Here’s my final prediction for how the first two rounds of the 2011 NFL draft will play out.
