Who seems to be the consensus 1st pick in next years NFL draft?

As my Lions now would have it. That's why here in Michigan we call draft day, "Lions Super Bowl Day"

<<<< This guy wouldn't be a bad choice, but it depends on who gets the pick, I would think the Lions would go after Quinn.

If Detroit gets the #1, it'll be Quinn because they need a QB.

If some other team gets it, Gaines Adams and Joe Thomas will be in the mix.

Lot of it will depend on who leaves early and who stays.

Ginn is fast and all, but Calvin Johnson should be the 1st WR taken

Ginn above Johnson? Peterson lasts to number 18? :missingte :missingte :missingte

Smarzfweiofjwafaewij from ND will also be taken early/mid-first.

If steelers got CJ...that would be siiiiiiiiiiiiiickkkkkkkkkkkk

Ward, holmes, CJ on a 3 wide set. Daaaam.


That being said...Id rather take the best corner available

He is just going to play baseball next year. Wants to be part of the new-age Cubs.

Adrian Peterson will be at or near the top of the list

uhh was anyone else impressed with troy smith vs. Michigan?

This is quite possibly the worst mock draft that is serious I've ever seen. Neither Jake Long or Michael Bush are in the first round? Really? Long will be a Top 5 pick (probably before Thomas at OT) and Bush should be a mid-1st rounder. If Calvin Johnson slips to 9, teams will do cartwheels to land him. In that same regard, no GM in their right mind would take Ginn before Johnson. There is ZERO chance that with Louisville's pedigree at producing QBs that Brohm goes over Quinn. Little chance that Peterson falls to 18. And also very doubtful that Irons goes in the 1st round.

Brohm should get picked before Quinn because he will destroy him at the combine. Quinn is a lot of hype that comes with being at ND, but surely will get picked in the first 5 or 6 picks. I can't see Ginn being picked over Johnson, but who knows what happens in the next 5 months until draft day.
