\"We're<\/a>

We’re convinced Marcus is going #2. Question is: to whom?<\/p><\/div>\n

Ok, some big changes from our Mock 1.0.\u00a0 Chief among them:\u00a0 Marcus jumps up to number 2.\u00a0 Yeah, yeah, he doesn\u2019t fit Ken Whisenhunt\u2019s system.\u00a0 But the Draft is all about maximizing value.\u00a0 And while you can\u2019t really trust trade rumors prior to the Draft, we do believe that the Titans will trade out of this spot.\u00a0 There are several rumored teams (Philly, Cleveland, San Diego) that want to move up.\u00a0 Tennessee could stockpile picks and still have a mid-first round pick.\u00a0 Ginger King\u2019s prediction:\u00a0 San Diego trades up and sends Philip Rivers to Tennessee.\u00a0 It makes sense for many reasons.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

\"An<\/a>

An undersized DE or oversized LB?<\/p><\/div>\n

The Giants switch lines this round, giving Spagnoulo some much needed muscle on the defensive line.\u00a0 The Saints would love it if Shane Ray falls to them.\u00a0 It\u2019s looking more and more likely that the Texans will draft Todd Gurley.\u00a0 Gurley needs to go to a team where he will not be expected to contribute a full load right away, given his knee injury.\u00a0 Whatever teams takes him will likely have an aging running back on their roster and looking to start the transition.\u00a0 This aptly describes the Texans, who could still rely on Arian Foster in the short term and let Gurley ease into the offense.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

\"Puff,<\/a>

Puff, puff, give!!!<\/p><\/div>\n

OL and WR will dominate the first round, and that will be more evident as we get into the second half of the first round.\u00a0 San Diego, if it decides to hold on to this pick (and Philip Rivers) would do well to try and bolster the offensive line.\u00a0\u00a0 Character problems = No problems for the Cincinnati Bengals, as they take a chance on the supremely talented (yet supremely troubled) Dorial Green-Beckham.\u00a0\u00a0 Finally, Randy Gregory\u2019s rapid descent should stop with the Cardinals.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

After two years in a row with no RB taken in the first round, Melvin Gordon becomes the second back off the board.\u00a0 An argument can be made that any of these teams at the end of the first round (except maybe Green Bay) could use him, and don\u2019t be surprised if a team like the Colts trades with Baltimore (to get ahead of the Cowboys where he\u2019s sure to get picked).\u00a0 For this round, he doesn\u2019t make it past the Panthers.\u00a0 Not one to shy away from character issues, the Cowboys go with a huge boom or bust pick in Marcus Peters.\u00a0 Peters is the best corner in the draft, but he\u2019s a walking red flag, having been kicked off the Huskies team in November.\u00a0 As if that\u2019s concern for Jerrah.\u00a0 \u00a0Byron Jones and his ridiculous broad jump go to the Colts.\u00a0 The U makes it back to the first round, with Philip Dorsett the newest weapon for Drew Brees.\u00a0 And finally, the rich get richer as the Patriots end the first round with the multi-talented Devin Smith.<\/p>\n
