The leader of ESPN’s Scouts Inc., Todd McShay, has released his first mock of the year. Hooray! No?
Rock out with your mock draft out: Todd McShay
This is ESPN Insider content. Nothing says “I wanna pay for this!” like a mock draft in November. Sigh.
Anyway, onto the bits. The first head scratching moment from McShay's mock came with pick nine. He gives the Cardinals offensive tackle Nate Solder of Colorado. I know it's easy to plug an offensive tackle into the top 10, but there's not one worth that pick.
Furthermore, who would Solder be blocking for?
has already been benched.
seems like a better choice. At the least, Mallett to Arizona is more logical than Mallett to Jacksonville, which McShay has in spot 12.
It's kind of a surprise to see McShay has five offensive tackles going in the first round. It kind of makes McShay's mock feel like plug 'n play with team needs. It's also kind of shocking to see McShay have A.J. Green last until pick 10. McShay also holds Julio Jones until the Jets with pick 29. Earlier in the mock, he refers to Jones as a "second-tier receiver." Huh?
So if this is the sort of thing that intrigues you, find McShay’s mock right here.
