[jaxjaggywires]

Wow, even have John Brantley actually being drafted. Pretty sure that won't happen...

[FirstTimer]

Bears:
Amini Silatolu, G, Northwestern State
Dwayne Allen, TE, Clemson
Jamell Fleming, CB, Oklahoma
Jaye Howard, DT, Florida
Ryan Miller, T, Colorado
John Brantley, QB, Florida

[Champ]

I love me some TJ Graham.

[FirstTimer]

They don't even have the Bears with 7 picks.

[ralaw]

LOL, the Rams with another D-lineman.....W2B would flip.

[BazookaJoe5]

Ozzie Newsome loves Alabama players so the chances of them taking this Whitney Mercilus guy over either Upshaw or Hightower is less than 0%. My guess is if Hightower is there as he is in this mock, that is who the Ravens pick.

[Woy]

LOL, the Rams with another D-lineman.....W2B would flip.

Could definitely see Fisher doing it.

Kirkpatrick/Still as our first two picks?

[Aso]

It's different and I like different. Around this time it seems like there ends up being a lot of cliche picks that end up not happening and I like seeing some change.

[EmpireWF]

I'd bash Jerry Reese if that was legit.

Turrible mock.

[FirstTimer]

Virix would murder everyone in a quarter mile area around him if the Browns took Weeden at #22.

[EmpireWF]

Virix would murder everyone in a quarter mile area around him if the Browns took Weeden at #22.

Rumors going that the Browns are looking at him at the top of the 2nd and could trade up to the 2nd Pats pick in the first round to get him.

Michael Floyd or ban me from VSN.
