Mock: Focusing on the Top 10 Only
The NFL Draft is quickly approaching and so is the NFL Draft combine, which will cause prospects to move up and down this mock draft like crazy. For today I decided to take more time focusing on the top 10 than anything else.
If your team doesn’t draft in the top 10 and you’d like to see a full first round mock (I am releasing one in the upcoming days) then check out Adam’s Valentines Day edition.
Check it out and feel free to comment…

Andre Smith's stock is supposedly dropping.
As the Lions guy, I'm hoping they don't draft a QB 1st overall. We need a tackle and we need to fill every defensive position. There aren't a lot of teams aside from KC that really need a QB, I think a quality guy can drop to pick #20; barring that, you could shop around for a development project in the 3rd round or so.
