First off, welcome back.

I don't think Al Davis will pass on Jeremy Maclin if he's available. It's that sexy pick he loves.

Maybin falls too far. I think he could go to Cleveland. I think his fall would stop at San Fran or even earlier with Green Bay.

I'm not a Tyson Jackson fan. He'd be a DT before he'd be a DE in the Bears defensive scheme anyway. I don't think he's a first round pick regardless.

Duke Robinson doesn't look so much like a first round pick anymore. At least, not at pick 21. I like Philly taking an OT over Robinson. William Beatty and Eben Britton both could be possibilities.

I think Miami would look Sintim or Larry English over Michael Johnson.

I like the Sean Smith pick. He's got first round talent and he might be the top safety prospect in the draft. He could definitely play FS.

Why McCoy to the Eagles? 1) I don't think he'll be available. 2) Don't they have the speedy back taken care of? They'd go big back if anything and I don't think they'll even go there.

Mack is now the first round center if there will be one. He's also good in Pitt's power scheme. Some will tell you zone blocking for him on here. I think they've mis-scouted him. I like him in a power scheme more than zone blocking for sure.

Pettigrew would be a waste in Arizona. I think the Cards get what they want from TEs Leonard Pope and Ben Patrick.

Good points...although I disagree with a couple...

First, I think Al Davis will realize that he needs a tackle to protect Russell. I know he loves that sexy pick but I just think it's too big of a need.

You're probably right about Maybin.

As an Eagles fan, I think Duke makes some sense. Not that I think we should take him, but we might...he's better than any takle on the board and the Eagles could move Todd Herremans to LT if they had to. In terms of LeSean McCoy, I think the Eagles realize that BWest is close to washed up...I don't think that pick would be for now as much the future.

I also think Duke Robinson isn't in the first round discussion any more. I think he's a borderline second rounder actually and I was saying that before his awful BCS Championship game performance.

My guess is Philly looks to add a running back in some form this year and a big man. I think Eben Britton is a more suitable pick.

I don't mind Alex Mack to Pittsburgh as long as Tyson Jackson isn't on the board and you have him off the board so I could see it. I am one of those people that think he's better suited for a zone blocking scheme, but I also think given the right situation he could adjust and Pittsburgh seems to find ways to get their lineman to overachieve an awful a lot.

I don't see the Packers going Malcolm Jenkins unless they move Al Harris this off season which could happen. They need an offensive tackle and help on their front seven and they're high on their players within the organization. They have Tramon Williams who appears to be the corner in waiting and they also used a second rounder on Patrick Lee last year. With Aaron Maybin, Everrette Brown, B.J. Raji, and Jason Smith on the board it'd be tough to see the Packers going corner in that situation.

I think Brandon Pettigrew should probably go a little higher. I actually am having a tough time finding a spot for him myself, but he doesn't get past Atlanta if he falls that far in my opinion.

I also like Alphonso Smith in the first round. I actually think he's the third best corner behind Malcolm Jenkins and Vontae Davis.

Overall I thought it was a nice mock though. I liked most of the picks.
