Very interesting. Some I agree with, some I don't. I think the Lions are a lock to take Stafford. The only reason there is speculation about the pick is because they want to have some negotiating leverage in contract discussions. Sanchez is going to fall, IMO....Brown to the Browns looks good...Heyward-Bey is not going top-20, let alone top-10. The guy had like 500yds receiving last year. Freeman at #12 is a huge reach...The Broncos have Orton, who isn't great but isn't so bad that they need to take this guy at #12. And Freeman would never go before Stafford (IMO, of course). I see Mauluga going top-20. Also, the WR's going at the end of the 1st are overrated. These teams need WR's but won't go overboard drafting these guys. Talent over need. The rest of the picks I like. And I would LOVE Raji on this team. He is a difference maker both on run defense and pass rush. Two birds with one Raji.
