Interesting that he has Jarron Gilbert going to the Colts at #27.

I think I'd try to trade out for a high #2 and a good pick next year. I can't get my arms wrapped around any of these DE/OLB conversions that high and we don't have any specific needs to stop me from trying to turn one pick into two.

I would agree, I don't see Gilbert fitting their scheme as much as Peria Jerry, Ziggy Hood, or Sen'Derrick Marks,

I actually could see Gilbert being a good gamble for Tennessee. He has the frame to support an extra 20 lbs. and play around 310, and with his athleticism he might be a nice replacement for Haynesworth in 2 years.

The chargers picking a RB and the vikings picking a WR seems odd to me. With the vikings running game and defense, they probally wont waste a 1st rounder on a WR. The chargers will probally pick a WR, their WR core could use an upgrade.

He has Crabtree falling to 13. I think he's the best player in the draft. I know it's a risk to take him in top 5 because of injury. But, he shouldn't fall that far.

I wouldn't mind this if No. 34 was Rey Rey.

In today's follow-up post, Lombardi explains why Maualuga didn't make it into the first round in his mock.

I did not include Rey Maualuga of USC because he doesn’t play on third down. Additionally, when a team is in a three-receiver set on first down, he’s also not in the game. He will only play about 40 percent of the time, and no matter how effective he is in that 40 percent, it’s still very hard to draft someone in the first round who cannot affect third down. I know he’s a good player, but the first round requires you to pick players who can play full time, not part time.

I wonder if BB is thinking the same way.

BritPat

If that's how all scouts are thinking about Maualuga, he'll be lucky to go in the top 50 picks.

Someone will take a chance on him though.

Creator of the Pats must draft Jason Verrett in 2014 no matter the cost fanclub.

Those in bold had already been picked, so he could hardly put them there.
