We heard from Buccaneer sources a few weeks ago (after our Bucs Draft Preview came out) that McNeill does have stenosis of the spine and that it is a concern. There has also been way too much reportage from around the league from credible officials (Gil Brandt, Todd McShay, etc.) that would convince us that he does have stenosis of the spine. Needless to say, he is no longer our pick in the mock draft. We're going with USC guard Deuce Lutui in the first round. The final seven-round mock draft will be released tomorrow on PewterReport.com.
