Mellowcheese set a new standard for failure by opting not to turn in a pick despite going on the clock at 10 a.m. Friday, so MDC and I are making the Lions' pick for him. Will we go all Goodell on Mellowcheese and ban him from the 2013 BRB Mock Draft? Maybe we will, and MAYBE WE WILL.
The newest pretend Detroit Lion reveals himself after the jump.
Stephon Gilmore (CB--South Carolina) looks to continue the proud Gamecock Cornerback Tradition exemplified by Johnathan Joseph and briefly displayed by Dunta Robinson and Fred Bennett. He'll do so in Detroit, which means he'll have to wait until free agency to sign a contract with the Texans to fulfill South Carolina's contractual obligation that all its corners play for the Texans at some point in their professional career.
This means texanphil and the Pittsburgh Steelers are now on the clock. Phil, please e-mail MDC and I your pick by 1 p.m. CDT today.
