It's a mock. So you start your first mocks with where teams were at this year. There is a lockout and nobody is playing football right now. And maybe not this year at all or at least some time. So all you can go with to begin with is where teams were at the last time you left off.
Exactly, thanks for posting this. It's either use the last draft order, or try to predict where teams end up which will only lead to more bickering about the order and will take away from the mock itself.

No sir :)
So how will the draft order go if there is no season? The same as this year or will there be a lottery? I can't figure this question out.
common sesne would dictate same as last year
but i highly doubt we woulnt have an nfl season
In a world of common sense you might be right. But, since there are owners and players willing to fight over millions of dollars that won't be made anyways unless they play. I would say we are not talking common sense. So I still stand for anyone who has real info about what draft order we would go by next year. I would appreciate it.
I doubt it's decided, but when the NHL lost a season to lock out in 04/05 they held a lottery where teams got between 1-3 balls based on number of playoff appearances the previous 3 years. The draft then went in a snake format following the first round, so 30th picked 31st as well like most fantasy football drafts. I suspect the NFL would do something similar. By this standard we would probably have a pretty good shot at #1 overall, really only competing with the Lions and a couple other brutal teams.
Coincidentally, that 2005 NHL lottery was especially important as the top prize was Sidney Crosby - the best player of this generation and probably the NHL's biggest star, so if this were to happen Andrew Luck would be a pretty comparable reward.
