"Most Likely Places Quarterbacks Will Land" Part 1

EJ Manuel: Browns
The Browns are definitely not going with a quarterback with the 6th overall pick. I think they will try to take one late in the first to early in the second round, or possibly in the third round. I assure you it will not be Geno Smith. I think that who ever they like best or who looks best, they will pick, EJ Manuel is the hot name right now.
25% chance

Ryan Nassib: Bills
I think it is starting to get obvious that the Bills are setting up a smoke-screen. They have basically shown interest in every single top five quarterback except Ryan Nassib, who Doug Marrone said he loves. Bad smoke-screens often get derailed by contradictions, and I see a major one here.
85% chance

Mike Glennon: Cardinals
The Cardinals want to stretch the field, so they brought in the guy with the second biggest gun in the draft. This pick will happen in either the second or the third round. I don't think Bruce Arians is fine with Hoyer or Stanton. I do think both have the potential to be playoff starting quarterbacks.
25% chance

Tyler Bray: Raiders
The Raiders have always been known for going after quarterbacks with big arm strength. I think the Carson Palmer experiment is over with. It will be a battle between Bray and Pryor for the starting job.
75% chance

Next time I will have the most likely places Geno Smith, Matt Barkley, Tyler Wilson, and Matt Scott will land.

Mock Draft 8.0 Ravens Get Their New Inside Linebacker (Not Te'o)

Unlike every other mock draft you will see, I am realistic, and I know teams love quarterbacks. These NFL teams will want to pull the trigger on a young quarterback just to tell the owner they have a plan. It is not smart, I do not agree with it but it happens.
1. Chiefs: Luke Joeckel OT
2. Jaguars: Shariff Floyd DT
3. Raiders: Dion Jordan OLB/DE
4. Eagles: Geno Smith QB
5. Lions: Dee Milliner CB
6. Browns: Star Lotulelei DT
7. Cardinals: Eric Fisher OT
8. Bills: Ryan Nassib QB
When one quarterback falls, the second and third round ones rise.
9. Jets: Matt Barkley QB
10. Titans: Ezekiel Ansah DE
11. Chargers: Lane Johnson OT
12. Dolphins: Desmond Trufant CB
13. Buccaneers: Xavier Rhodes CB
14. Panthers: Kenny Vaccaro S

Teams Who Could Trade Up For Desmond Trufant

In my current mock I have the Patriots trading in front of the Tampa Bay Buccaneers and selecting Desmond Trufant. The Patriots' cornerback situation is up in the air, Aquib Talib is a free agent, with off the field problems, and Alfonzo Dennard is a young corner facing legal charges. New England really has struggled with in their secondary within the past few years. I think they might want to get a franchise corner in this year's draft. Desmond Trufant has really been sky-rocketing up this year's draft board after the Senior Bowl and Combine.
Another team that is a possibility is the San Francisco 49ers. Their secondary's coverage ability was highly exposed during the Super Bowl. Right now they are in talks with Darrelle Revis, but the Jets want two to three first round picks, which the 49ers seem uninterested in at this moment. The 49ers have twelve to fifteen picks this year, so trading up doesn't seem like a problem for them this year. I could see them trading their first round pick and two second round picks to move up to a pick around the teens.
