re: ****Meateye's Final Mock Draft**** (Updated 4/27/2011 )

Love the quote!! WINNING!!!!!

Yeah even though Im doing this mock I dont think its gonna end up like this becuase I think theres gonna be lts of trades in the first round. (including our pick at #24) But you just cant mock those.

the medical issue/grade could be a decider. his game tape from 09 was top 5 pick like, last year good but not inspiring. If they jump for him I'll be happy.

As far as probability he's a bit of a wildcard for the same reasons. Some team falls for him and he could go ten picks higher. If the medical issue & tape flags too red he could be at the end of the first round. I'd throw out 60-70% probability of being available at 24.

Today:

SI's Peter King seconds an NFL Network report that Iowa DE Adrian Clayborn's Erb Palsy is a concern for many teams while also noting that other teams actually view it as a positive.
"It shows what kind of guy he is, to have overcome that," one coach said. "I love him. I love everything about him." While admitting that Clayborn will have to add upper-body strength at the next level, one scout said he still has a mid-first-round grade on him. Clayborn, himself, concedes that his best position will be a 4-3 end.

the good part is that the depth remains, the more questions the more quality is gonna be pushed down the board.

If 3-4 QBs and 3-4 OTs go before 24, add in a CB like Jimmy Smith, another G besides Pouncey, another DT or two, Ayers or Wilson- then the Saints could have the difficulty of deciding which quality DE they wanted out of a few

If Bowers is still there at 24 his leg would have to look like Joe Theisman for me not to take him.

Just seen Clayborn on First Take. Super nice guy and he has something to prove. Loving this pick for us!
