First Mock, only one round
Just checked this place out and I gotta say its cures my mock draft fix. Only did 1 round because I feel the depth of the draft is not my strong point. So without further delay, here's my mock
1. St. Louis: Ndamukong Suh, DT, Nebraska (6-4, 302) I dont think St. Louis will, or should, go with either QB. Neither is worth that much money, and I think they'd be better served with Vick.
2. Detroit: Gerald McCoy, DT, Oklahoma (6-4, 298) Almost as good as Suh, but not quite in my book. He'll help the Detroit D.
3. Tampa: Eric Berry, S, Tennesse (5-11, 203) They are not in a really good spot here, unless one of the DT's are still left. Berry's not a bad consellation prize, but I think a Safety is a little high here. I really think they'll try to trade down but for now, they hav the next ED Reed.
4: Washington: Jimmy Clausen, QB, ND. We can argue which QB till we r red in the face, but if you look at Shanahan's 2 favorite QB's, Elway and Cutler (gunslingers) you'll see Clausen is the closer fit to that than Bradford. IMO tho, I dont thnik either QB is worth this pick but we'll see. And for those who say he'll draft OT now, I think not. He drafted Cutler first, then drafted Clady in Denver, so I think we may see the same
5: Kansas City: Rolando McClain, ILB, Bama (6-4, 256) KC goes D cuz they need help bad here. People say OT, but they jus drafted one 2 years ago, i say giv Albert his 3rd year to prove himself, as he showed he can be pretty good. McClain was made for the 3-4, and I think he'll do very well there
6: Seattle: Russell Okung, OT, OK State (6-5, 302) This pick might be Bradford, but if the best LT falls here, I think Seattle pulls the trigger, and waits till the 2nd or 3rd for QB of the future.
7: Cleveland: Joe Haden, CB, Florida (5-11, 190) Best CB in the draft, and a possible future shutdown CB. You'd think O, but here, no one is worthy of being picked, and I think they giv Quinn one more year.
8: Oakland: Anthony Davis, OT, Rutgers (6-6, 326) I dont no why I even bother trying to get in this sad, little old man's head, but if he truly believes Russell can play, he'll giv him a blindside protector, and this pick could help out his other bust, McFadden.
9: Buffallo: Sam Bradford, QB, Oklahoma (6-4, 223) If your Chan Gailey right now, what are you trying to sell to your fans? the fact your an old, unsuccesful coach? the fact your team hasnt had a winning season in forever? or the fact you just got fired as an OC by a rookie HC? Any way, I think for the fans you go QB here.
10: Jacksonville: Derrick Morgan, DE, Georgia Tech (6-4, 272): Not sure where exactly this franchise is going (scheme wise and location wise) but they need a pass rush thats for sure.
11: Denver: Dan Williams, NT, Tennesse: Big, DT the Broncos could use at the point of attack. Fields didnt do bad in his first year, but he is too small (317, yea real small) for the position, and might be better as a 5 tech or a rotational guy. They might pick Dez if BMarsh is traded, but since I'm not showing trades on my mock, I wont show this pick.
12: Miami: Dez Bryant, WR, OK State (6-2, 220): People say Parcells doesnt like drafting WR's in the first round, but if he wants Henne to continue to grow as a QB, he'll giv him this playmaker.
13: San Fransisco: Bryan Bulaga, OT, Iowa (6-6 312): him and Staley will solidify the OT spots on this team.
14: Seattle: Everson Griffen, DE, USC: I know he is even less valuable than the last guy I chose, I just see Carrol bringing one of his guys in in the first. He could help the pass rush, and has good enough size to stop the run as well. Plus, he might have more experience with the D than anyone else
15: New York Giants: Earl Thomas, S, Texas: They could use a Centerfielder next to Phillips, and they definitly need to address the secondary here. Could go Price, but its not as big of a need as this
16: San Fransisco: Jahvid Best, RB, Cal (5-10, 195): I know 9ers fans will kill me for this, but I think he is faster than Spiller, and I see this team like the 07-08 Titans, who are jsut a Chris Johnson away from a great season.
17: Tennesse: Brian Price, DT, UCLA (6-2, 300): enoughs enough, need to get a playmaking DT again, plus, I feel he has good value here. Finally, the titans hav a starting DT over 300
18: Pittsburgh: Bruce Campbell, OT, Maryland (6-7, 310): perfect pick for Steelers, let him develop if hes not ready, as hes pretty raw.
19: Atlanta: Kyle Wilson, CB, Boise St (5-10, 186): might be a little high, but he had a grat Senior Bowl and that hashelped a lot of former player increase their value a lot. Ayers was supposed to be a high second till his Senior Bowl, and he was takenn higher than this.
20: Houston: Morgan Burnnet, S, Georgia Tech (6-1, 210) They wish a DT was here, but instead they go with a pretty good centerfielder here. I would say Mays, but his value is sinking like a rock on water. I was thinking Cody, but its way too high for him and he doesnt seem like a Texans type player. If the draft goes like this, I can see Houston trade down, but for now they take Burnnet.
21: Cincy: Aaron Hernandez, TE, Florida (6-2, 250) TE is definitly here, unless the Bengals trade for a TE, and I'm hopin its Scheffler, hes good but he's not needed on the Broncos anymore.
22:New England: Sergio Kindle, OLB, Texas: Pass rush is defintily needed, and Sergio can provide that. Maybe Spiller here, but I think Kindle would help more.
23: Green Bay: C.J. Spiller, RB, Clemson (5-11, 195): Perfect compliment to Grant, and could giv Rodgers a nice target out of the backfield.
24: Philadelphia: Mike Iupati, OG/OT, Idaho (6-5, 330): Great value here, and he can play either gaurd or tackle, which is perfect for the Eagles.
25: Baltimore Ravens: Golden Tate, WR, ND: This is assuming no big WR trades, as I'm not showing it in my draft. Hes a fast kid with sure hands, a little small, but thats rarely as big of a problem sas ppl make it out to be
26: Arizona: Ricky Sapp, OLB, Clemson (6-4, 248): Not too high on Clemson pass rushers, but this is a need for AZ and this would e good value here.
27: Cowboys: John Jerry, OG/OT, Ole Miss (6-6, 332): typical Cowboys OLmen, big and nasty. Similar to Eagles reasoning here
28: San Diego: Jonathon Dwyer, RB, Georgia Tech (5-11, 235): Is anyone not picking this? To me, its a match made in heaven. Not a good RB draft by any means, so if you are the Chargers and yo need one bad, here's where you go.
29: New York Jets: Jared Odrick, DE/DT, Penn St (6-5, 301): with questions on the DL, and a great 5 tech DE like Jared, this pick is a no brainer, if he falls here
30: Minnesota: Chad Jones, S, LSU: Might be the guy to put this D over the top. Probably want to go CB here, but Safety isnt a bad way to go either.
31: Indianapolis: Sean Witherspoon, LB, Mizz: Colts could use a playmaker LB, but of course, they always do, but Polian never takes one. I could see Cody here as well, although not liking him as a first just too many question marks
32: New Orleans: Jason-Pierre-Paul, DE, USF: Physical freak, but definitly a project. I see Saints developing him for a year or two and in the mean time use him as a situational rusher.

Good pick for the Colts, but probably not right
We’ve discussed this on Stampedeblue, and most agree the Colts won’t go LB. But I really like Spoon if they do. However I have to figure they go O-line, considering Polian called the O-line out after the Super Bowl (and God knows we need help ALL OVER the O-line). I mocked Charles Brown in the same spot you did earlier this week, so I’m with you that he won’t be available. But Maurkice Pouncey, in your mock, is available, and provides a good consolation prize for a team that needs interior line upgrades/replacements (Saturday’s dead any day now and one of or two guards is…um…not good).
Cody…(shaking my head). I don’t want to keep having this argument with people. Not their type. Trust me. This is a team that routinely cuts guys for fatness and slowness, plus they play a 4-3. Won’t. Happen. Ever.
"You're hitting the wrong person. Don't you know you're hitting Ron Artest?"
Yea I thought the same with the Colts pick
Its a tough call, and I know Cody is probably only a 3-4 NT and thats why I said no. And Im not sure theyll go LB either
This was def one of the hardest picks to choose, and glad to see you here Luke, I was the Denver fan from your first mock where we talked bout OT’s lol
Oh right
Well, in that case, should I start a 10 comment argument about how the Colts will NEVER draft a big DT in the first, just because you mentioned the possibility in your analysis? ;)
JK
I already did that with some other guys on another thread.
"You're hitting the wrong person. Don't you know you're hitting Ron Artest?"
HAHA yea that would be fine if u wanted to
I concede the point, as you are completely right on Colts DT’s.
just for the Cody mistake

you asked for it.

And PS
I think he would look good in the blue and oj… Actually i think he’ll look gross in anything
But in all seriousness. If Denver doesnt get Dan Williams i’d prefer either Cody or Cam Thomas

Trent Williams is there
I think he’d better value and more needed than Pouncey. Gresham, Griffen and Graham are ahead of Spoon as well on my Colts wish list.

Didn't even notice
But totally agree. He’d step in and start for Diem right away and most of us would be happy. My wish list, based on who’s available on this mock would go: Williams, Pouncey, Graham, Gresham, then spoon ahead of Griffen.
"You're hitting the wrong person. Don't you know you're hitting Ron Artest?"
one reason a tackle would be such a great pick
is that both Diem and CJ have guard experience, so a starting quality tackle upgrades that tackle spot and RG.

I dont know
Hes been labeled as bad in pass pro, and Wes Bunting from the NFP said he is at best barely a RT starter. But yes, OT wouldnt be bad here, and now with my one revision, Charles Brown from USC is available so maybe him too
well he is now
he wasn’t when I posted that comment. I like Brown significantly better than Williams

bengals
I hate that pick. I really think Hernandez value is in the 2nd – 3rd round
www.fantasydaddy.com
I didnt say Gresham cuz hes had durability issues throughout his career
And Cincy has said they want a pass catching TE. I mentioned Scheff as a possibility, and he could go cheap to them as a 3-5th rounder.
Hernandez really reminds me of D Clark… But u can have your opinion on him
We actually need a complete TE. Blocking and Catching.
If you don't live like you wanna, you live like you shouldn't
What you talking about Willis, the guy is a complete TE.
If you don't live like you wanna, you live like you shouldn't
Not that many injuries as you'd think.
If you don't live like you wanna, you live like you shouldn't
And those type of players dont grow off trees
So I think the 3 TE’s the Bengals will get are: Hernandez, Scheffler, Gresham
He's not bad, he could be a solid TE who cathes underneath routes
But I feel Hernandez is your best bet, as he can really scare a D like Gates and Clark
yes he could
but as fans we are afriad that the Bengals do not know how to use a TE, at all. They are blockers in our offense, and only used to catch short passes. Do we wish it was different? yes. but we also know that we had the same coordinator since 2002, and he has never used a TE

is his name really Golden?
am I the only one that finds his name humerus?

Ok how in hell is Bruce Campbell the next Vernon Gholston?, they are completly different positions, idk what the hell ur talking about!!
"Tigers love pepper... they hate cinnamon"- The Hangover
Campbell is a workout warrior and an athletic freak
he’ll grade high at the combine, but his on the field performance may not live up to his athletic ability…
thus, the VG comparisons
* KC now has the best coaching staff in the league
* Pioli will make at least one trade in the offseason, and 2 trades during the draft
* I'd prefer "lightning and lightning" as opposed to "lightning and thunder" when it comes to RBs
* 9-7 is a real possibility in 2010 IF the Chiefs get 4 new starters
yep

HAHA
U no wat? reminds me of every Davis pick ever… good combine, not very good college career… I could see him going to Oakland and not being too surprised
agreed about KC
good choice.
LT is not a big need for the Chiefs this year.
Albert can do the job… they need a new Center and maybe a RG

Yes
Which you guys will probably adress in the FA or 2nd-3rd round, were most ppl address such needs
agreed
Center and Guard possibilities are plenty in rounds 2-5… so, I’d expect 1 or 2 of those for KC.
they COULD take a LT… but not in round 1 in my opinion…
a 2nd round guy, like Charles Brown if he falls, could be a very good pick

Yea id say thats an accurate assesment
I dont think anyone would be too displeased with that outcome
Keep in mind your taking advice from a Broncos fan and..
lets discuss this denial and strange obsession you’ve consistently had with one of the WORST offensive lines in the NFL. Lets try to fix this problem.
First off, no LT is not a big need for the Chiefs this year…for the sake of LT.
It IS however a HUGE need for the sake of the entire line itself. Kansas City will bring in Okung to anchor LT for years to come. Hence, moving Albert to Guard to pair with Waters until he retires in two years. They will keep current RT O’Callaghan for this year and go after a solid young C in this draft or through FA. More than likely you should be excited and thankful to see the below (ideally) lining up this fall..
LT – Okung
LG – Waters
C – Draft/FA
RG – Albert
RT – O’Callaghan (replacement in the works through FA/2011 draft)
TE – (Ideal pick would be an Ed Dickson steal in the 4th round) Scouts have him pinned as a late 2nd to early 3rd rounder.
Therefore I’ll just go ahead and put my personal (hopefuls) draft picks out there for the raping:
1) Okung
2a) Spikes
2b) LaFell
3) Lindley
4) Ed Dickson
What a suprise you go LT in the first and then WR in the 2nd. Where's our NT? Where's our Safety, C, G?
You are taking vanity picks like Lafell and Lindley and Dickinson instead of real needs. And you want to use the #5 overall pick to upgrade RG nice value for the pick.
The first 3 picks of the draft will be defense. Pioli loves him some defense.

"The Seahawks can grab the QB of the future in the 2nd or the 3rd"?
Say what you will about Bradford/Clausen, but there’s a pretty big dropoff from 1st-round talent to the 2nd/3rd round. Okung doesn’t stand out as a top-tier LT and this is a weak OT class. If Bradford grades out as a top-tier talent, it makes no sense to pass on him for a second-class OT.
I’m hoping that we could trade back from the #14 pick to draft Brown in the 20s, but I don’t mind reaching a little to grab him at #14. Drafting him as the second LT in the first round doesn’t make a lot of sense, even if the team wants to focus on the line. Rookie OTs aren’t going to be very good to start and the team doesn’t need to draft starters for both OT positions (one guy out of Locklear, Frye or Willis should be able to stick at RT).
In summary: drafting two OTs isn’t very productive and may be counterproductive (starting them both would get Matt killed). I’m also not a big fan of Okung with the #6. The team needs to upgrade the pass rush, secondary and find a QB of the (very near) future and needs to spend at least one 1st-round pick on one of those needs.
Weak OT class?
I’d say its an even weaker QB class. Truthfully, out of all these prospects, Bradford and Clausen are barely top 30, and they’ll only be drafted high cuz there QB’s. This is a good OT class, not great.
Yes, I see the two OT’s drafted, that was a typo. I’ll fix that my bad
The OT class is weak and deep
Do you think that Okung would have been drafted in the first round last year? Does Okung stand out over Davis or Campbell?
This year may not be a great year for QBs, but I think you need to take a shot at first-round QBs when you have a chance. If you wait for the perfect QB and the perfect time, you’re going to wait forever or see your QB drafted out from under you. If the QB grades out at a 6.2 instead of a 6.5, I think you still need to take a chance because you never know when you might get another one.
And I don't want to sound like a dick
but I’m not a big fan of Griffen. We already drafted a version of him in 2008 and I don’t think this version will be any more effective.
Thomas and Spiller would both be good picks at the #14. My personal preference would be to address the OT position with the #14 (or a later pick) to grab Brown and use the #6 on a QB, Haden/Berry or some pass rush.
KR/PR can be got later in the draft
For example Arenas from Bama. I say go with the guy who would be better as a pure RB, and get a guy to return later
The problem is...
We’ve already got 2 pure RB’s and our return game was absolutely horrible.
Spiller would come right in and fix those immed. while still being a 2nd RB.
We gave up on Coffee after 1 year.
I wouldnt exactly call Coffee a pure RB
He hasnt really proved himself. And we’ll see on Spiller, you might be right, but as of now I think Best is better as a scat back
He might not be a pure RB...
But he doesn’t exactly do anything else but run the ball and he didn’t do that well.
Spiller just fits our needs more than Best does.
Alrite we can argue that till were blue in the face
But how bout this scenario. If Seattle takes Spiller at 14, who do u take 16?
IF Spiller goes at 14...
And Earl Thomas goes at 15
I wouldn’t be surprised to see them take:
Williams (and move Bulaga to G)
Iuputi and re-do that entire side of the line
Mays …well cause we need a safety
JPP as we need a DE (Same with Griffin and Dunlap)
JPP wouldnt be a 3-4 End
Trent is not a top 20 pick, I dont even think hes good enough for the first round. Iupati would be a good pick, but maybe just a bit early for a guard, and Mays has lost all value in the first, I think at this point the next best ssafety is Morgan Burnett from Ga Tech
texans
morgan would be a reach…iupati or another OL would be better…or trade down

Nice.
I think this is a solid, interesting effort. Obviously I don’t agree with every pick and I think you started taking some gambles when predicing the second half of the round, but it’s almost entirely plausible. I like it for the Broncos, despite my affinity for Dez Bryant.

Thx EJ
glad to see u here, I’m on MHR a lot and just found this place
congrats on being added to the staff, and thanks for the kind words
And yes, I did gamble a bit on the back end
But really, outside of the top 10, this draft can turn out in many different ways
Want To Do Me A Favor?
I need someone to take over the Broncos in the ongoing live mock that JP 23 and TheAngelsColts are running on here and you seem like a fair replacement. I took Dez Bryant in the first and Arthur Jones (DL, Syracuse) as a DE in the second. I’m now thinking that the Jones pick was a reach, but the draft can be salvaged if you chose well in the 3rd and 4th rounds. That’ll be the extent of it this time around and it will take place Saturday starting at 5PM, I think. Sound like something you’d be interested in?

Sounds great EJ
That time is perfect for me, as I’m a college student. No classes and the night life doesnt start yet lol. Just giv me the details and I’ll do it
John Jerry in the first round?
Dallas would definitely take Trent Williams or Maurkice Pouncey before taking John Jerry. Plus, I think in this situation Dallas might even consider grabbing Chad Jones or an Arrelious Benn before looking to Jerry.
If I had a nickel for every Super Bowl the Eagles have won, I would have zero nickels.
Depends?
I think Jerry will be a much better pro than Trent “twinkle toes” Williams. Pouncey over Jerry depends if we want a OC/OG or a OG/RT. Still unless Jerry really impresses at the combine, he will be available in the 2nd.
Jerry has the versatility
To play every position. Plus, hes well over 330, which is the type of OL Jerry likes
Jaguars Draft
Its alright, to answer any questions about scheme or location: 4-3 with minimal to none modified 3-4 Zone. Location will be Jacksonville for sure at least the next 2 years.

1st Time anyone has mocked a safety to the Vikings
I don’t think there is first round value in a safety at #30. If Thomas had fallen maybe. But I would rather take a LB,DE,DT CB that has fallen to us. The other thing is that a lot of Vikes feel that one of our older CBs can be switched to Safety as they grow slower. If you evaluate Chad Jones as a top 15-20 pick then I see the Vikes taking him only as a value.
But here I see Graham, Witherspoon, Donavan Warren, Odrick all as better value picks.
Interesting choice though.
Winning is not everything but it sure feels like it sometimes
Yea I think this guy is gonna be a sleeper in the draft
similar to Adrian Wilson. They guy hits like a train and for a guy his size (230) he moves very quickly
