NFL.com's Vic Carucci and Steve Wyche debate which team got the best of the trade that sends Jay Cutler to Chicago in exchange for draft picks and Kyle Orton. **More ...**

Almost as soon as my latest mock draft was posted, quarterback Jay Cutler was traded to Chicago for the Bears' first-round pick
(No. 18). The thoughtful editors at NFL.com allowed me to re-set the mock with the proper draft order.

I don't think much will change. However, with the Broncos holding two valuable picks, they could move into the top 10 to possibly select USC quarterback Mark Sanchez. I still believe that Detroit will select Georgia quarterback Matthew Stafford with the first overall pick.

The Lions, by adding Stafford, could give the once quarterback-drought-stricken NFC North a trio of young guns (Green Bay's Aaron Rodgers, Cutler, Stafford) that could re-energize one of the more bland offensive divisions in the league.

With that, here's my latest mock.
