It has been just four days since my last mock draft, which received 5,600 reads and 33 comments. But a lot has changed, both with existing veterans and prospects at the combine. These changes warrant an updated look at Round One.
Michael Crabtree's going to miss up to 10 weeks, but is going to hold off on surgery until after he runs the 40 for scouts. Speaking of holding off, tackle Andre Smith should have held off on the entire combine; after showing up out of shape, he walked out of the event without any warning. Oops!
In the pros, the biggest impact on the draft was likely dealt by the Carolina Panthers when they successfully convinced tackle Jordan Gross to sign an extension and then placed the franchise tag on defensive end Julius Peppers. One other significant move was the Miami Dolphins giving tackle Vernon Carey a six-year extension.
So the top two veteran offensive tackles that were available, and that were being watched by the teams that need a tackle, are off the market. And the top receiver in the draft is injured. How does that affect the draft? Let's take a look.
