* Updated 9.23.10 This is insanely premature, but I get at least 10 emails a week asking for an updated mock draft. A few notes: -- Because of the threat of a lockout, it?s very hard to say whether underclassmen will pour into this draft or stay in school and wait it out. My guess, and I?m basing this on conversations with some agents and some NFL business types, is that they will try to get into this draft in hopes of being grandfathered into whatever the new CBA requirements for free agency might be. -- Most of the anticipated teams in the top half of the draft have invested recent high draft picks in QBs. That means the law of supply and demand will almost certainly lower the value of the QBs in the draft, and this mock reflects that thought. -- The draft order is based on my pure speculation of final records after just the first two weeks of the NFL season. It will change, probably dramatically, and this order is technically impossible because several teams will make the playoffs despite lesser records than teams slotted after them here. Try and look past that. -- Normally, I include the disclaimer that this is not necessarily what I would do with the given picks, but because it?s very early this one has more personal influence in the guessing process than my typical mocks. -- I mistakenly forgot to convey Oakland?s pick to New England in v1.0 and that changed a handful of picks in the process. The big loser in that process was Christian Ponder, who at times looks like a top 10 pick and at times looks like a 3rd-4th rounder. 1. Buffalo Bills: Ryan Mallett, QB, Arkansas. 2.
