There's three reasons I think Jason Smith will be taken before Andre:

1) Andre's actions at the combine
2) Jason Smith had a hell of a combine
3) Jason Smith was Mike Mayock's favorite OT even before the combine, and Mike Mayock is the best draft guru I know.

I think Packers go with Brian Cushing with their pick.

If Chargers don't do something with LT, I think they go for a running back (either Wells or Moreno). This takes Maclin to the Bears.

yeah idk about cushing i dont htink hes worth the 9th pick though. it would make sense if we had more of a middle round pick

Interesting draft. I think you got the QBs really in there on value. I still think that either Detroit or St. Louis will reach on Stafford though.

I also find it interesting that you have Jenkins going really late. I can imagine that Texans having a really hard to time to pass on him with having Johnson and Walter starting. They could find another receiver in the 2nd/3rd I think. Also, the Broncos who just got rid of Bly (Might be a bit high, but still). Ofcourse, this is asuming they won't move him to safety.

I also think that it'd be a very close one for the Falcons, I'd go with Davis myself over Pettigraw, although they have quite a void at both positions.

Great mock draft though, one of the better ones I've seen tbh. Most of my arguments are made on personal preferences, I think you got it pretty much right.

Pretty much agree with Porky's analysis but add I think Crabtree falls a bit and maybe Seahawks take him which would then pretty much change the thinking of teams after the fourth pick. Am hoping Raji is available for the Pack but seriously doubt he'd fall that far.
