Rock out with your mock draft out: Todd McShay
Todd McShay, the leader of ESPN's Scout's Inc., released his on Sunday with little fanfare. The draft is Insider content, but SportsCenter put out his top five picks.
First overall, he has the Rams taking Washington junior quarterback Jake Locker. It seems obvious now that St. Louis should take either the top quarterback or Ndamukong Suh.
McShay has the Nebraska defensive tackle going second to the Buccaneers. At this point in the draft process, Suh seems like the most sure thing among prospects and would fill a need for Tampa Bay.
He fills out the top five sending safety Eric Berry to Cleveland third, defensive tackle Gerald McCoy to Detroit fourth and offensive tackle Russell Okung to the Chiefs fifth.
Since this is Insider content, I probably can't talk about too much of it here. But there are few surprises in McShay's mock draft. One of them was Jason Pierre-Paul going in the first round at No. 21. The South Florida defensive end is an ESPN favorite, but that seems a little too high. It's easy to fall in love with his athleticism and size, but the production didn't match the hype this year.
There really aren't too many noteworthy picks in this mock. In fact, to ask people to pay to see a one-round mock draft is kind of an insult. Heck, I'd much prefer some of the four and five round monoliths you guys put together in FanPosts.
With that said, keep your mock drafts coming! They are probably the most popular feature of the site, and that's thanks to you readers. So, keep it up.

Confidence breeds success, self-doubt breeds failure
Don’t hold your breath. I hate doing mocks. I wouldn’t expect one from me until after Jan. 15.

I never go on the ESPN site anymore thanks to all the insider only articles.
Thanks for passing on what you did. My Lions are picking pretty much who I thought they would.
Any time frame on the updated site rankings?
My “Diamonds in the Rough” fanposts depend on them.

They’re being worked on now. I think I might wait until underclassmen declare to do an update. Anything in particular you’re looking for?
