Mark Craig's first-round mock draft: Runs on quarterbacks and receivers are a sure bet

Human beings are actually assembling non-virtually in Cleveland for an NFL draft that could be unlike any other.

Quarterbacks will be selected with the first three picks, tying the record set in 1971 (Jim Plunkett, Archie Manning, Dan Pastorini) and matched in 1999 (Tim Couch, Donovan McNabb, Akili Smith).

That much we do know about Thursday night's first round.

Now, for what it's worth – and be kind, folks – this mock draft has quarterbacks going in the first four picks, five in the top eight and a sixth going 32nd to Tampa as an understudy to a certain Super Bowl Whisperer.
