We’re just matching up player with team based on that team’s most glaring needs.
Everybody and their grandma has Cam Newton at No. 1 to the Carolina Panthers and Marcell Dareus going No. 2 overall to the Denver Broncos. Let’s throw a monkey wrench (great Foo Fighters tune, by the way) into that whole scenario right here. Respect …

That being said, I’m kinda on board with what NFL.com’s Pat Kirwan projected in his latest mock draft, which had a number of teams late in the first round accepting trades out from teams desperate for quarterback help. That run on the second-tier QBs will come earlier than many are expecting.

Not since the first combined AFL-NFL draft in 1967 has a running back not been selected in the first round (in fact, you have to go back to 1963 — back when there were just 10 picks in the first round of the NFL Draft — to find a first round with no running backs selected.
