If the Chargers draft Cushing everything AJ Smith did for the Chargers would be a wash because Cushing is the bust of the draft. Outside LB is not as much of a need as ILB, DT or RB. The Chargers will either draft Tyson Jackson, Peria Jerry, Rey Maualuga or Knowshon Moreno.

I don't believe the Lions are thinking QB at all anymore. I think it's going to be Curry or Jason Smith and I'll still hype Raji as worth it. Culpepper has been designated the starter and I think the Lions have to figure out what they have in Stanton.

I know you didn't know this when you did this mock, but Housh has chosen to go to Seattle. Crabtree is possible, but I think Seattle would definitely go best lineman available on either side of the ball. In my mind, that's Raji, who you have falling too far.

I believe the Jags are a team that would value Oher over Andre Smith. He really fits the Jags blocking scheme.

I think Detroit would look OT ahead of Maualuga at 20. If they draft a QB, protecting him has to be priority with 20. It is a deep OT class, but I think they'll jump on a guy like Britton who could project as a LT.

Moreno would be the steal of this draft.

Cushing plays ILB in the 3-4 Michael. That's what I project him as. I know you don't like him and I strongly considered Peria Jerry, but went with Cushing.

Yeah go figure that I put this up and then one hour later Houshmandzadeh decides. I thought he was going to Cincy or Minnesota for sure. I was actually delaying a little bit so I could possibly change my Vikings pick and the picks after that. None the less I think Seattle would still take Crabtree if

A) They like him and value him as much as a lot of people do.

B) They release either Burleson or Branch.

[Saint33]

I don't like Nicks at all that high. Vikings would jump all over Alphonso Smith if he's still available, he's the perfect replacement for Antoine Winfield.

[mrdv1]

looking at the numbers, i think the corners in this draft are really being regarded as too high. I think you might see them slip like wr's did last year.

You got a solid mock here.

i doubt denver would go brown though, if they switch to a 3-4 they have dumervil and jarvis moss to play the 3-4 OLB spots, with DJ Williams and sumone else inside. Maualuga is more likely IMO.
