Seahawks president Tim Ruskell expects RT Sean Locklear to be Walter Jones' successor at left tackle.

That was the plan when Locklear signed his extension, but he was disappointing in 2007 and beaten down by injuries in 2008. According to Ruskell, it's still the plan, which makes tackle an unlikely avenue for the No. 4 overall pick.

The Rams reportedly prefer Baylor OT Jason Smith to Virginia's Eugene Monroe.

Monroe is said to be sliding due to medical concerns about his knee. Of course, that report could be emanating from a team hoping Monroe will slip past the first five picks and fall right in their lap.

This is looking good for my mock draft as long as Aaron Curry doesn't get selected first overall. Now stay away from Sanchez and draft Crabtree Ruskell.
