MMQB: One Man’s Informed Mock Draft
Football Outsiders — MMQB: One Man’s Informed Mock Draft Peter King puts up his first-round mock draft. The one thing I’ll say about his statement that some scouts like Chad Henne more than Matt Ryan probably means that Ryan’s moving down, not that Henne’s moving up.

FanHouse — ... The latest is Peter King, who claims that the Saints are "serious" about trading into the top four -- not just for Dorsey, but a Mr. Duplicitous whom the Saints supposedly love, but whose identity is unknown to King.

Monday Reading
