McShay's Mock Draft

The Lions have extra picks from Dallas in the Roy Williams trade. I don't know if that makes a trade more likely or less likely but if the Texans trade down to #33, they could add another 2nd or 3rd which could bring them another high pick or perhaps stockpile a pick for next year.

Guy from a Draft web-site said on 1560 radio here in Houston last night that he's got Everette Brown going #3 overall and Orakpo is falling because teams have reservations about his first step ? Not that quick.
Also said that he didn't think there was a QB (out of the senior class) going in the first 3 rounds ? Said the strongest position without question was offensive tackle with maybe 4 guys going in the top 10. But the guy said this is really a very weak Draft. OK, we knew all of that already.

This is my hope. Like I have said many times, there isnt much difference in the talent in this draft from around 15 to 65. That will make it hard to trade down. If we get an offer like this I sure hope we do it. I want as many picks in the top 4 rounds as possible.

Yeah, as some may believe that to be (the 15 to 65 propisition), not saying whether I agree or disagree, there are two clearcut top QBs and if one is gone by the first 15, then the other will likely be gone after the QB hungry gauntlet of Bucs, Bears, and Bears. Scarcity often moves a position into the premium, like we did last year with a OT being selected every 4 picks.
