[editor's note, by VanRam]Good thing the Rams didn't win a fourth game and muddy the draft pick waters...kidding. I've promoted this diary to get us a head start in talking draft. Just a quick programming note, I'll be in and out through the rest of the week supporting my family through a pretty tough time. I'm working on a post about the salary cap for '08 and expect to have that by Friday. In the meantime, let's keep the offseason discussion going. We certainly have plenty to talk about. Thanks to jroman for sorting out the mocks as of now. I suspect as the underclassmen picture shapes up, these lists will change, not to mention Linehan's role in the Senior Bowl.

I just wanted to get a headstart on draft talk and put some of the predictions are prognostications around the web.

Here's the list for the top 10:
First Round

1. Miami (1-15)
   
2. St. Louis (3-13)
   
3. Atlanta (4-12)  (tie breaker)
   
3. Kansas City (4-12) (tie breaker)
   
3. Oakland (4-12) (tie breaker)
   
6. New York Jets (4-12)
   
7. New England (from San Francisco) (5-11)
   
8. Baltimore (5-11)
   
9. Cincinnati (7-9)
   
10. New Orleans (7-9)
