FWIW, here is McShay's newest mock draft. Sorry if you don't subscribe to ESPN Insider:
1. Miami Dolphins -- Matt Ryan, QB, Boston College
2. St. Louis Rams -- Chris Long, DE, Virginia
3. Atlanta Falcons** -- Darren McFadden*, RB, Arkansas
4. Oakland Raiders** -- Glenn Dorsey, DT, LSU
5. Kansas City Chiefs** -- Jake Long, OT, Michigan
6. New York Jets -- Vernon Gholston*, DE, Ohio State
7. N.E. Patriots (from 5-11 San Francisco) -- Leodis McKelvin, CB, Troy
8. Baltimore Ravens -- Sedrick Ellis, DT, USC
9. Cincinnati Bengals -- Derrick Harvey*, DE, Florida
10. New Orleans Saints -- Mike Jenkins, CB, South Florida
Record: 7-9 | Needs: CB, MLB, DT, OLB, TE
Previous mock selection: Kentwan Balmer, DT, North Carolina
Cornerback and linebacker are the Saints' biggest areas of need, and Jenkins is the best athlete available at those positions. His combination of size, speed and athleticism is outstanding, and his recognition skills continue to improve each season. Jenkins also brings versatility to the table, since he can play some safety and chip in on returns. If New Orleans uses this pick on a corner, it should find much better value at linebacker early in Round 2.

By the way, he has Rivers and DRC going at the very end of the first round. Notable absences from round 1 are Kenny Phillips and Dan Conner.
That would be nice if we could pick one of them up in Round 2.
