I don't think that I've treated offensive linemen with the respect that they deserve in any of these mock drafts. More than three will probably be drafted in the first 20 picks. For that reason alone this mock is crap.
The draft talk of the moment is Randy Gregory's failed drug test at the Combine for marijuana. Many talking heads are honking about a potential draft day fall. I don't see it. I don't think that he even drops out of the top-10. Percy Harvin tested positive for marijuana at the 2009 Combine and the Vikings still selected him with the 22nd pick. Harvin might have been a top-10 talent but character and injury concerns pegged him about where he was drafted. The positive drug test did little to impact his draft status. Come draft day I think that Gregory will be drafted near where his talent dictates. It's just the topic of the moment. It too will pass. Then again concerns for Gregory's off-field fondness for weed could linger like the tragic Pro Day of Teddy Bridgewater. The Louisville quarterback never regained his steam and damn near dropped out of the first round. Who knows? As a Vikings fan, I thank every NFL decision-maker every day for forgetting about Bridgewater's fine college career and putting all their emphasis on one shaky practice day. Maybe I'll be thanking those same geniuses again.
