Clausen leads at the 4th spot in Draft

A weekend mock roundup was done because of the massive amount of updated in the Web's largest NFL Mock Draft Database.  There were a total of 29 mock drafts updated between 1/9 and 1/11 and these mocks were munched together to give the latest indication of where the mock pundits, writers, fans, or whoever, feel are the Top 5.

QB Sam Bradford has been leading for weeks as the leader in mock drafts for the Washington Redskins.  With the Draft Order at the top settled and the Redskins having the 4th pick, mocks are taking a twist.  If mock projections are close to right, the first quarterback taken in the NFL Draft may very well be the Washington Redskins.  Most mocks are projecting DT Ndamukong Suh going first overall.  I think that is about a great of guess as you can get and I am not certain the Rams can pass this beast up.  The Lion and Bucs pick 2nd and 3rd and niether are expected to be seeking a quarterback.  The Lion took Matt Stafford first overall last year and the Bucs drafted Josh Freeman, who is expected to be their future QB.  That would mean both Sam Bradford and Jimmy Clausen, arguably the top two QBs in the draft, would fall to Washington at #4. This is assuming the Rams go with Suh.

The Redskins very well could try and land a quarterback for Mike Shanahan to bring through the NFL.  My personal opinion, go Offensive Tackle, especially if Russell Okung is there, or try and trade down.  This is not the best year to take a quarterback and the Redskins have too many offensive line needs.
