With the draft coming up, I’m going to try and mock this thing as best I can; and, based on Mel Kiper’s past predictions, I can probably do better. You’ll see his mock drafts all over the web the next few months, but be advised: One, the guy’s a terrible judge in talent and, two, he’s seldom right. We’ll see how I do, but I can’t imagine doing much worse.

Today’s Selection: No. 8, Baltimore Ravens

Ryan Clady is the second best offensive lineman in his draft, and if you’re going to spend a Top 10 pick on an offensive lineman, it may as well be a LT. Jonathan Ogden is getting ancient, and Willis McGahee and whoever the QB happens to be need somebody bit up front to block for ‘em. He’s not going to be as good as Jake Long, but he’ll be close enough.
