Has anyone seen much of the Aaron Curry kid? I don't know that much about him. I have trouble seeing Schwartzy taking a linebacker with that pick.

Curry

He’s fast, strong and has good instincts. The only knock on him is that he’s only had one nationally known year. Number 1, doubt it, but he is definitely one of the best talents in the country.

kind of a workout wonder

don’t get me wrong, he played very well too, but it’s his physical ability that makes him that high. also, i’ve heard alot of the “safest pick” status with him. goes to show how weak this draft is.

I don't think this draft is weak

WR is a strong position, and so is linebacker, cornerback, offensive tackle, and defensive tackle are all strong positions in this draft. I’m hoping the Titans pick a WR since this years class is outstanding, but we do need to address defense as well, since our pick isn’t until number 30 i think we should just pick the highest graded guy though, like if BJ Raji or Peria Jerry if they are still available, if not Percy Harvin, Hakeem Nicks, or Darrius Heyward-Bey. But who knows who we will pick, the experts always say who they think a team will pick but come draft day they are usually wrong. Guess we will just have to wait and see.

The Titans will never draft a WR in the 1st round

Go Titans!

I think the Lions would do well to take a OT or a DT.

O-Line is the safest pick by percentage, and they could certainly use the help. DT not so much, but it’s still a lot less of a crap-shoot than say WR or WB. Not to mention that they’ve already got a couple of pretty good skill players. They need help in the trenches IMHO.

Last year I realized that after the first 4 or five picks, it's anyone's guess

Chris Johnson didn’t spring to anyone’s mind. No receivers were taken. I think these mock drafts are interesting and teaches us a little more about the players out there or identifies popular opinon regarding team needs and weaknesses.

I would like to see a list of the top value 32 players, regardless of the team. Most teams say they "take the best available player on the board.
