NEW YORK -- The Bondi Beach Buccaneers drafted I I #1 overall in the 2045 draft. The 6' 2" QB fits the team's needs perfectly. Said Buccaneers general manager: "It's up to us to develop him and get good players around him."

"The great thing about the game of football is, it's a team game," I said on a conference call. "I'm just going to be one piece of the puzzle."

Moore and Nox Mock Draft

Pick 1: Bondi Beach Buccaneers
Larry Moore: Ralph Vigil - QB
The guy has his head on straight. Known for being a bit of a joker in the locker room. but in the good way, everyone smiles when asked about him. He is smart enough to get the ins and outs of the pro game. Will make tight throws. Delivers the ball with zip and purpose. Blue-chip player. Exactly what they look for. Add a young talent to a roster thin at the position, a great fit.

Jim Nox: Genaro Whittaker - C
In addition to his own role, this kid doubles as glue. He makes everyone on the field play as a team. With the amount this youngster can already benchpres, he will only ever have to focus on improving technique. Fans, coaches, and teammates alike will be ecstatic to get him on the team. He fits what they need, he is such a great talent. Everything lines up.

Pick 2: Norfolk Seawolves
Larry Moore: Joel Lara - QB
His leadership is through the roof. He is on the frontline, always. Known among his teammates as a hard worker. Well liked in the locker room. He always gives the receiver a chance to make the play. Has good zip on his throws. Some might say this is a 'need' pick, but we must remember, this is a really good player as well. He will contribute early and often. No losers here.

Jim Nox: Curtis Vest - C
His good natured behavior, even toward opponents have earned him some criticism, but also an awful lot of respect. It is not often that the talent available fits perfectly with what you need. When it does, it makes for a win-win situation. This young man is going to be put in a position to succeed.

Pick 3: London Royals
Larry Moore: Joseph Gomez - CB
He takes care of his teammates. Most everyone who ever played with him, counts him as their friend. Speedy enough to cover. Will need to cushion a bit on the faster receivers, but they will account for that in the play design. Keep hoarding talent. That is really how you win.

Jim Nox: Ralph Vigil - QB
Here you have a kid who puts in the work to succeed. He takes care of his teammates. Most everyone who ever played with him, counts him as their friend. He understands defensive schemes. He has good throwing mechanics. His arm is good, but not great... yet! They get undisputed quality with this pick. It might not fill a need, but they should not care about that here. Get the future star, worry about needs later.

Pick 4: Portland Pythons
Larry Moore: Steven Redman - DT
Every team would benefit from his leadership. This kid is not afraid to work hard. He is fundamentally a good kid. You rarely see him commit stupid penalties. He was one of the smarter kids in college. He fills a need for them. They will be happy to get him.

Jim Nox: Steven Redman - DT
Every team would benefit from his leadership. The guy has his head on straight. Respected for his good behavior on the field. Reacts with good instincts. He will get a great chance to earn the starting job. He fits what they are looking for. He is a solid player. Cannot go wrong here.

Pick 5: Kansas City Coyotes
Larry Moore: Genaro Whittaker - C
Football is a team sport, and he knows it. Coaches and scouts love his strength. You cannot coach strength. You either have it or not, and this guy has it! They will be running to the podium for this one.

Jim Nox: Michael Etheridge - SS
Known for showing up early and staying late. He plays well with others. He understands there is a reason for each assignment on every play. He is fundamentally a good kid. You rarely see him commit stupid penalties. They almost have to make this pick. You do not want to look back in five years and see this kid on another team knowing he could have been yours.

Pick 6: Dallas Birddogs
Larry Moore: Michael Etheridge - SS
This kid is not afraid to work hard. This kid breeds synergy, teams play better when he is on the field. Respected for his good behavior on the field. Do not be afraid to draft a position of need here. This kid is well worthy of a pick this early. Perfect situation for him, and great fit for the team.

Jim Nox: Herman Kruger - SS
He is driven by the love of the sport. The guy has gets along with everyone. Fast. Fast enough to cover. Fast enough to Blitz. Fast enough to get picked this early. I like the way he tackles. Wraps up the ball carrier and drags him down. No need to take chances. Fits nicely with their needs. Fits nicely with the draft spot. Getting it right is important with these early picks. This guy is right.

Pick 7: Tijuana Luchadores
Larry Moore: James Schwab - CB
I mean come on! Did you see how fast he is? Very coachable. Do not overthink this. Just keep adding talent like this to your roster and the team will succeed.

Jim Nox: Michael Cody - FS
He has a well developed tackling technique. Coaches like his instincts. Already has a big fanbase of his own. He will be an asset to the franchise.

Pick 8: Minnesota Grey Ducks
Larry Moore: Robert Baylor - LB
Due to his work ethic, this kid is very coachable. His good natured behavior, even toward opponents have earned him some criticism, but also an awful lot of respect. Amazing strength for the position. Makes him versatile, and tells of his high ceiling. Plug a hole in the roster with a great player. That is really what they need to do. This pick does it.

Jim Nox: Joseph Gomez - CB
The guy has gets along with everyone. Speedy enough to cover. Will need to cushion a bit on the faster receivers, but they will account for that in the play design. When the available talent fits what you need, there is reason to celebrate. They are getting a great talent who will serve them for many years.

Pick 9: Bondi Beach Buccaneers
Larry Moore: Herman Kruger - SS
He is fundamentally a good kid. You rarely see him commit stupid penalties. Well liked in the locker room. Comes down from his safety position at blazing speed on blitzes. Runs well in coverage, even when required to run with faster receivers. A good tackler. Do not fret. You need him, fans love him. Surefire pick.

Jim Nox: James Dinkins - SS
Raised to know the value of teamwork. Wraps up well on tackles. Pretty bright kid. He will get a great chance to earn the starting job. He fits what they are looking for. He is a solid player. Cannot go wrong here.

Pick 10: Norfolk Seawolves
Larry Moore: Curtis Vest - C
Sportsmanship, love of the sport and respect, is what you get with him. Take the blue-chip player. Do not worry about sexier picks. He fits what you need and the quality is there.

Jim Nox: Roger Dowdy - C
This kid is already a pretty good blocker in the running game. He will only get better as he refines his technique. Are there other guys worth picking here? Sure, but none of them fit this well with what they need, and he is a solid talent.
