I hate that there's seemingly no chance of him falling to the Rams at #33, or any comparable option available later in the draft. Don’t misunderstand, I don’t hate the pick, the player, or the logic.

When's the last time we saw a draft class so weak at QB, LB, and RB? When's the last time we saw not one but two DTs ranked so easily above the rest, but then followed by a large 2nd-tier group that offers options many will be happy to obtain in the late 1st/2nd round? When's the last time we saw a guard ranked so highly, with so many teams that would earn obvious benefit from his services? Offered these on my Facebook & Twitter as support... http://sports.yahoo.com/nfl/blog/shutdown_corner/post/Combine-Watch-List-How-far-can-Mike-Iupati-go-?urn=nfl,221010 http://www.movethesticks.com/?p=1218 And yes... I've spent a ton of time defending this pick, but I have to admit that none of the criticism has come from the loyal Denver faithful (those that have hit me appreciate the analysis and see why I think this would be where Denver would go). Those that don't tend to rely on the "It's so early for a guard" defense... no offense, but we evolve. (And yes, the PFR tools added this year are outstanding!) Thanks Will, truly appreciate the comment and your time my friend.

Love the player, hate to see him go this high, but I guess there's no escaping the fact that he's a bona-fide first rounder. This is as high as I've seen him go in any mock, though.... Btw, that custom draft query tool at Pro-Football-Reference is dynamite ... first I've seen it. Wow.
