*Bayley Mock Draft - First Round

[Bayley]

[div align=\\\"center\\\"]1st Overall Pick: Las Vegas Legion select: P/K Iyah Blewitt

This guy was picked up off waivers by the Legion and I can absolutely see them taking him with their first overall pick. Wouldn't that be crazy that a Punter/Kicker could go first overall in any draft? That is a crazy thought, but you may just see it happen in the NSFL. However, there may be some debate when it comes to this pick. So far this season, Blewitt has blown it. He has hit 20/22 extra points which is extremely solid. Now comes the negative part as he has only made 63.6% of his kicks outside of that. He is even 2/4 from 20-29 range. Those need to be automatic kicks if you want to be the top pick in the draft. In fact, Blewitt has the worst FG% in the entire NSFL. I think that the Legion will overlook that and take this guy. I think he will turn out to be a good player, but there will definitely be some growing pains.

2nd Overall Pick: San Jose SaberCats select: LB Brice Boggs

I think they will go defense here with this pick. With their other #2 LBs going inactive, they will look to bring in a guy that will be able to be an immediate upgrade. I think this guy will definitely be that guy. Boggs has done fantastic with Yellowknife this year with 77 tackles in 13 games. He has also notched 5 Tackles for Loss, 2 Forced Fumbles, 6 Sacks, and 1 Interception. I think that this will be a no-brainer pick with this pick. I think that the Legion may even think about taking this guy with their pick. He is the real deal and will just look to get better from here. I think this should easily be the pick to go with second, but hey, who knows.

3rd Overall Pick: Philadelphia Liberty select: DT Godfrey King

I think with the 3rd pick, the Liberty are going to go with Godrey King. King has played 10 games for Arizona this year and has notched 4 sacks with 11 tackles. I think this is the exact guy that the Liberty will want in the middle of their defensive line. He has definitely be impressive thus far in his waiver season, so adding a year of play with a training camp and this player can definitely be one to watch. I feel like King or Sandoval could easily go with this pick, but I am leaning towards Godfrey King. Sandoval is a guy that has shown he can play, but I like this guy long-term.

4th Overall Pick: San Jose SaberCats select (via YKW): DT Ricardo Sandoval

The other guy I mentioned before was who the Sabercats will pick with this. Sandoval has 19 tackles thus far in only 5 games. Imagine a DT with that kind of power. This is what the SaberCats will look to do with one of their two first round selections. They will bolster their defense on both occasions with Sandoval. He has 2 sacks on the year as well. I think this is more of a guy that will clog the center of the line and make people run to the outside where the ends and linebackers will pursue. With Sandoval in the middle and Boggs at the next level, the Cats will certainly upgrade their defense.

5th Overall Pick: Colorado Yeti select: OL Sachimo Zoidberg

The Colorado Yeti will look to bolster their offensive line with this pick. So far, there have not been any offensive weapons which is not common. However, you need to protect your Quarterback in order to get the ball out to the receivers. Zoidberg will look to do exactly that. In 5 games, Zoidberg has 17 Pancakes and only 2 Sacks allowed for Arizona this year. So far, this guy has been solid. He has been someone that likes to be training as well, so this is perfect for a team that will look to get a little help on their offensive line.

6th Overall Pick: Orange County Otters select: DE JD Boom

The Otters will continue the string of defenses in the first round as they will take Defensive End JD Boom with the 6th Pick in the first round. In 13 games for Baltimore, he has 37 Tackles, 6 Sacks, and 1 Forced Fumble. This is fantastic for limited showing this season. With continued training, those numbers will absolutely increase. I think JD Boom can be a very solid DE and probably one of the best DE in the draft. I think this pick has to be made.

7th Overall Pick: Baltimore Hawks select: WR Trey Willie

Baltimore will look and smile as they got Trey Willie to fall to them. How did that happen? I think the teams before have decent WR and have other places that they need to fill before this one. I think this is the steal of the century. Comeon, 24 catches and 261 yards for Orange County this year to go with 4 TDs. This guy has proven he has what it takes to be a first round selection, so Baltimore will just have to pick him here. If he falls any further, that will be an absolute travesty.

8th Overall Pick: Arizona Outlaws select: CB Tyler Grant

With the last pick of the first round, the Arizona Outlaws will go off the board a little with CB Tyler Grant. It looks like this is the guy that will go into the draft as the top TPE earner for the position. He has been the only one to play this season as well. I think putting those two together, Arizona looks to take this guy to bolster their secondary. I am not sure this team needs much help, but this guy will absolutely do exactly that. I definitely think there are other options here, but Tyler Grant seems like a great pick that will be able to help immediately as the Outlaws may be looking for their third Championship in a row.
