Mock drafts...

So I guess it's fair to say I'm a little bored. But anyway I thought it would be interesting to compile some of the updated mock drafts to see what we've got thus far. Most say o-lineman, but every now and then you get someone out of nowhere.

Alright, I think that's enough of that. We all get the point. Odds down favorite for our pick seems to be Albert. But I'm wondering if in a draft stocked deep with o-lineman if we don't just go with the best available player no matter what the position. Word on the street is that Colbert seems to concur. There lies the real question: Do you draft on need or best available with the 1st round pick? Maybe somehow we can get the best of both worlds.
