A Fairley obvious top ten selection?
Just in time for the weekend’ s games, the Uncanny Mock makes its return as the NFL season has been marked as halfway complete.

Head Scout Brent Sobleski attempts to wade through the vast changes made in this his second regular season attempts. Those changes can clearly be chronicled by clicking HERE .

Round 1

# Team Selection Position/College
1 Buffalo Andrew Luck* QB/Stanford
Analysis: The Bill have come so close to their first victory in recent weeks, but they still remain at the top of the draft heap. Ryan Fitzpatrick has stepped behind center and performed admirably. His talents do not preclude the worst team in the NFL from selecting the clear-cut top quarterback in the upcoming draft class, Andrew Luck.

2 Dallas Marcell Dareus* DE/Alabama
Analysis: It is odd to have such an all around talented team selecting second overall. Dallas’ team chemistry is tearing them apart. They are still paper champions. As a result, they are allotted the opportunity to select the best player on the board which happens to be the man-child, Marcell Dareus.

3 Carolina A.J. Green* WR/Georgia
Analysis: David Gettis and Brandon LaFell may be quickly improving as rookies, but the same logic which applied to Buffalo taking Luck applies here. Those respective talents simply do not stack up to the elite ability of an A.J. Green. Green added to an aging, yet still dangerous, Steve Smith would form one of the most terrifying duo’s in the NFL for opposing defenses.

Not a big fan of Marcel Dareus. I've read some reports that the guy has a great motor, but I've seen the exact opposite. Further, some sites have him listed anywhere from 6'3" to 6'4", and I highly doubt he's either of those heights. He strikes me as about 6'2". If we were running a 4-3, then it wouldn't be much of an issue, but I'm not a big fan of squatty 295ish DE/DTs in a 3-4 scheme.

If we go d-line I'd much rather see a guy like Nick Fairley be taken. Outstanding explosion off the snap, quickness, good size (6'5" 300) and disruptive. He's a prototype 3-4 DE. If anyone has seen him play, he's very impressive.
