    That won't affect the order of the players going in the draft. The Cowboys would select Nix over Evans

    Dammit!

    I'll wait to see what LLT says before I flip-flop the picks.

    As deep as this draft is...you can bet that most teams will be looking to trade down. The Cardinals are a great example...I think they are targeting QB Jimmy Garoppolo in the second, and can afford a trade down.

    Re: Steelers Universe Mock Draft

    So far...most of my picks have panned out...Havnt seen a lot at the combine to make me change very much. I was sweating putting Bortles at #1, but now can back it up with his combine #'s

    I understand. Many are high on Manziel...and I dont get it. it seems to me that if you make him stay in the pocket and actually be a quarterback, that he is only average.

    I get ya and agree ...

    Manziel to me is the product of Fran Tarkenton and JP Losman having a baby .... you just do not know what you are going to get from him one play to the next , it could be great or horrendous

    I think there is going to be a couple of teams ( Cleveland ) make a mistake with QB's this year. Probably a product of reading to many football experts and over thinking a position they are desperate for. I think that there is a chance the the best QB will come out of the 2nd or 3rd round.

    would not surprise me any ...

    I have a strong like for McCarron I understand why he gets knocked by pundits , but what they fail to address is while he has flaws in his game he recognizes them and plays to his strengths ...he unlike many others understands his limitations , he avoids making those big mistakes and he is a winner ....

    another is Brett Smith that could end up being a very solid pro

    Fales could be a semi dark horse to be very good ....
