NFL Network's Mike Mayock sends out his mock draft; has Eagles taking O-lineman

FROM KEITH GROLLER

Rich Eisen went on David Letterman on Wednesday night to talk about The NFL Network's wall-to-wall coverage of the draft. It actually begins at 11 this morning with "Path to the Draft" and the pre-draft stuff continues all day.

As for the draft itself, it begins tonight at 8, and then the second and third rounds begin at 6 on Friday night and fourth round coverage commences at noon on Saturday.

Analyst Mike Mayock, who the NFL Network considers to be a draft expert, has put out a mock draft, which of course, could go out the window with one major trade early, as all mock drafts can.

He has the Eagles taking Wisconsin offensive lineman Gabe Carimi in the 23rd slot.
