We just saw the greatest Super Bowl in NFL history. And as a result of it, every team will draft to beat the New England Patriots.

Wow, I have to give it to the New England Patriots for showing that heart of a champion. Of course they would do so when I picked the Atlanta Falcons to win but I have to give it to them. The Falcons are much more talented but it takes more than talent to win.

That mental toughness, poise and ability to stick together are the main components of any team. And the Patriots showed they are a direct reflection of QB Tom Brady and HC Bill Belichick. There was no panic in anyone on the sidelines when they were down 28-3.

So here we are, ready to start a new season with the draft as everyone chases the Patriots. If you want to run the ball and-or play good defense, this is the draft for you. The NFL seems to have put value back on the RB with the guys that have made big impactts lately.

We’re going to see just how valued they are as some many of them are graded highly this year. Two of them are going before the first quarterback goes in this 2017 NFL Mock draft. The fact that this is a bad quarterback class will be reflected in this one.
