It all just depends on what kind of WR the teams who could use one in the first round are looking for. Teams could be looking for more of an X-receiver whereas Ridley is a flanker. Also, are there other positions that WR-needy teams just see more value in for the first round?

I’ve heard that a team like the Panthers, who could use a WR, prefers DJ Moore.

Matt Miller reports that he’s talked to 5 teams that have removed LB Leighton Vander Esch from their board due to spinal stenosis.

Stinger? The kid doesn't have a medical history so I'm curious what this all means in the grand scheme of his draft status.

Much ado about nothing?

OK 2.0 the night before
R1. Da'Ron Payne NT Alabama
R3. Darius Leonard ILB/OLB South Carolina State
R4. Sean Welch C Iowa can play G also
R5. Arius Moore ILB/OLB NC State
R5. Kyzir White SS West Virginia
R6. Adam Breneman TE Mass (underated)
R6. Jamari Staples WR Louisville (caught balls from Jackson all season.) (steal)
R7. Mason Cole C Michigan (I hope we can stash him)

On the eve of the big day, draft guru Mike Mayock drops his one and only mock draft. The New Orleans Saints select...

27. D.J. Moore - WR, Maryland
An explosive offense just got better with my No. 1 receiver in this draft. He's a little bit raw, but I love the pick at 27.

I have spinal stenosis and is can be much more severe than a stinger.

Chris, thanks for the reminder

... Calvin Ridley.

If we somehow manage to get Ridley then forget about it... We win the draft.

Bears have got to take a Wide Receiver; Kevin White's a bust and they just let Cam Meredith walk...

Calvin Ridley is being touted as this generation's Marvin Harrison - Bears need a WR for Trubiskey...

Happy draft day everybody!!! Our long, agonizing wait is over! This is going to be one heck of a wacky first round.
