#27 is the perfect place to draft Brian Brohm - but it won't be the Chargers who do it. A team in the top 8 of the second round (esp. Miami, KC, Atl, Jets and Baltimore) will want to move up into the first to get him. Thus there will be lots of demand for this pick (because we have few holes and not many teams around us will be willing to trade) meaning AJ Smith will work a strong deal out with a bumbling GM from one of the aforementioned clubs allowing us to pick up lots more picks.
This would still allow us to pick up a decent OT (I'd take Sam Baker personally) at the top of the second and also pick up anything up to a low second (some of the stated teams have multiple second rounders) or early third rounder as well.
And to islapr - it's not ridiculous that TV ratings have controlled the future of a football business whose main revenue stream is TV revenue. Remember everyone has a boss - if the teams want to maximise their TV deal then they need to be subservient to the networks who need good ratings to maximise their advertising revenue. If cutting the length of time to make decisions by five minutes to improve ratings is necessary then it is entirely logical.
Judging from Casserly's work in Houston (and I'm not just talking about Mario Williams - that may have been his best decision in all the time he worked there), you don't need to know how to run a business to be a GM in the NFL. If you get angry about mock drafts, then don't read them. They are only published because a lot of fans are interested in where other people think players will go. They are subjective predictions of the future, which is by definition uncertain - thus they will never always be right.
