For something not UK related

Mock Draft Time!:)

As usual, I do not spend time dissecting why I made the pick, but I will explain my reasoning for it below.

Mock Draft 1.0

ROUND ONE1. Detroit (0-16)-Matt Stafford (QB-Georgia)
2. St. Louis (2-14)-Jason Smith (OT-Baylor)
3. Kansas City (2-14)-Aaron Curry (LB-Wake)
4. Seattle (4-12)- Eugene Monroe (OT-Virginia)
5. Cleveland (4-12)- Brian Orapko (DE-Texas)
6. Jacksonville (5-11)*-Mark Sanchez (QB-USC)
7. Oakland (5-11)-Michael Crabtree (WR-Texas Tech)
8. Cincinnati (4-11-1)*-Andre Smith (OT-Alabama)
9. Green Bay (6-10)- Tyson Jackson (DE-LSU)
10. San Francisco (7-9)- Michael Oher (OT-Mississippi)
11. Buffalo (7-9)- Everette Brown (DE-FSU)
12. Denver (8-8)- BJ Raji (DT-Boston College)
13. Washington (8-8)- Aaron Maybin (DE-Penn St)
14. New Orleans (8-8)- Malcolm Jenkins (CB-Ohio St)
15. Houston (8-8)-Knoshown Moreno (RB-Georgia)
16. San Diego (8-8)-Rey Maualuga (LB-USC)
17. New York Jets (9-7)-Jeremy Maclin (WR-Missouri)
18. Denver (from Chicago)(9-7)-Josh Freeman (QB-Kansas St)
19. Tampa Bay (9-6)-Brian Cushing (LB-USC)
20. Detroit (from Dallas) (9-7)-James Laurianitis (LB-Ohio St)
21. Philadelphia (9-6-1)-Beanie Wells (RB-Ohio St)
22. Minnesota (10-6)-Eben Britton (OT-UConn)
23. New England (11-5)-Larry English (LB-Northern Illinois)
24. Atlanta (11-5)-Evander Hood(DT-Missouri)
25. Miami (11-5)-Clay Matthews(LB-USC)
26. Baltimore (11-5)-Darrius Heyward-Bey(WR-Maryland)
27. Indianapolis (12-4)-Peria Jerry(DT-Mississippi)
28. Cincinnati (4-11-1)**-Alex Mack (C-California)
29. New York Giants (12-4)-Kenny Britt(WR-Rutgers)
30. Tennessee (13-3)-Percy Harvin (WR-Florida)
31. Arizona (9-7)-Donald Brown (RB-UConn)
32. Pittsburgh (12-4)-Max Unger (C-Oregon)

* I have Cincinnati being pretty active on draft day. This team needs offensive line help and also needs to stockpile picks. With Monroe and Smith already gone, I believe teams will be looking to move up to get Mark Sanchez or Michael Crabtree. Cincinnati can afford to move down to spots with Jacksonville since Oakland will likely stay with Crabtree and pay Andre Smith at 8th overall. Mark Sanchez will be a better longterm option for Jacksonville than David Garrard. Cincinnati will also acquire Jacksonville's second round pick.

** Chad Johnson traded to the Eagles for this pick. The Eagles add running back insurance earlier with their original pick by taking Beanie Wells to compliment Brian Westbrook. Offensively, with Chad, DeSean Jackson, Westbrook, Beanie, and McNabb, the Eagles should stay the class of the NFC East. Cincinnati continues to retool the offensive line by selecting Alex Mack.
