ESPN has them at #8 and #9....things can change after the combine. ESPN Mock Draft Steve SD Blitz Agreed. I also think one (or more) Team(s) will trade down .... if the Raiders trade down then that completely changes the top end of the Draft. |

Why are this year in the top 10 Mock draft 7 Defence player? No QB, no RB, no WR just 2 OT. I know defence wins games, but why is this year so that i think the college players in the offence is not so good^^

I think the feeling is that there aren't any marquis QB in the draft this year (or at least before the combine). There are a couple of 1st round worthy WRs, but non that are game breakers. I think with the emphasis on the passing game, teams tend not to have need franchise RBs. Most teams have several RBs that they play depending on the situation (down & distance, red zone, short yardage etc.) So those "role players" are rarely 1st round picks.

RunningBacks seem to get picked later in recent NFL Drafts, I think there are 2 reasons :- (a) They're prone to serious injuries (ACL/MCL) that will keep them from playing for the whole season or even terminate a career. (b) Recent History has shown that if you do your homework on a RB, you can get a Franchise RB with later Picks .... Arian Foster (Undrafted FA), Alfred Morris (Round 6). Add together (a) and (b) and it means that a RB has to be really special to go in the Top 10. |

And additional to that, not many early round RBs of the past did bring the performance you might expect from such a player.
First rounders in the last 5 years: 2007 7 Adrian Peterson 12 Marshawn Lynch 2008 4 Darren McFadden 13 Jonathan Stewart 22 Felix Jones 23 Rashard Mendenhall 24 Chris Johnson 2009 12 Knowshon Moreno 27 Donald Brown 31 Chris "Beanie" Wells 2010 9 C. J. Spiller 12 Ryan Mathews 30 Jahvid Best 2011 28 Mark Ingram 2012 32 David Wilson Now, which one would you give the title "elite" RB? |

I agree with your a & b, but I also think the shift to the passing game from a balance offense has meant that marquis RBs values have dropped. Whether the Cardinals take Geno Smith or not, I think depends on combine performance. Also, there is a rumor that Arizona is going to acquire Alex Smith from the 49ers - - which would make a lot of sense for both those teams. Steve SD Blitz |

CBS Mock Draft
3. * Bjoern Werner, DE, Florida State: Blessed with a quick first step, heavy hands and surprising instincts given the fact that the German-born Werner has played just five years of American football, the 6-4, 255-pounder has established himself as one of the country's elite prospects. An immediate standout in Tallahassee, Werner improved in each of his three seasons at Florida State, culminating with winning ACC Defensive Player of the Year this season with 18 tackles for loss, including 13 sacks.

Steve SD Blitz but the CBS one is actually a big board rather than a mock draft, as they're just ranking the Draftees rather than ranking the Draftees and adjusting the board according to the needs of the Franchise. However, that's just a technicality .... the thing that interests me is who do the Raiders pick as they're picking at #3 and that will dramatically impact the whole top order. I saw one mock draft that thinks they take DT Star Lotulelei ....... but the raiders have a history of weird & wonderful picks ...... I'm wondering if they roll the dice and go for Geno Smith. |
