Around SBN: Miikka Kiprusoff Wins 300th Game, Buffalo Crushes Boston

Shake's Combine-Eve Mock

'Twas the night before combine-mas...

Round 1
1 St Louis Ndamukong Suh DT Nebraksa The Rams lost 2 QBs to injury last season. You don't take a Franchise QB if you can't protect him. They have their LT of the future in place though, so they take the best player in the draft and wait for Jason Smith to develop.
2 Detroit Gerald McCoy DT Oklahoma If the Lions weren't interested in Oher in the second half of the 1st round last year, they are going to keep rolling with their current tackles. Likely to Matt Stafford's detriment.
3 Tampa Bay
Eric Berry S Tennessee The Bucs abandoned their switch away from the Tampa-2, making Berry's experience under Monte Kiffin a plus on an already great prospect.
4 Washington Sam Bradford
QB Oklahoma The new FO in Washington isn't likely to give Jason Campbell much of a leash, if they even bring him back.
5 Kansas City Rolando McClain
ILB Alabama
The Chiefs OL may have turned the corner late in the year allowing just 8 sacks in their last 6 games after giving up 37 in their first 10. This lets them address a hole on the D and worry about the OL later.
6 Seattle Jimmy Clausen
QB Notre Dame Matt Hasselbeck is nearing the end of the line and Senneca Wallace isn't stepping into his shoes.
7 Cleveland Joe Haden CB Florida Such horrid pass D is rare with a competent pass rush. The Browns need serious coverage help.
8 Oakland Russel Okung
OT Ok State
Even Al Davis couldn't get this one wrong... right?
9 Buffalo Bruce Campbell
OT Maryland With the top QBs gone the Bills will add another piece to their young line. Hopefully giving their QB of the future to be named later, a solid foundation.
10 Jacksonville Derrick Morgan DE Georgia Tech Pass rush lacking Jags try that whole top 10 DE thing over again.
11 Denver Dan Williams
NT Tennessee With the 3-4 in vogue teams are taking the key pieces earlier and earlier.
12 Miami Brandon Graham
OLB
Michigan
Waaaaay  too early for Cody so the Phins take the much smaller reach for a LB.
13 San Fran C.J. Spiller RB/RET Clemson Niners get a massive boost in the return game (a major asset to a defense centered team that'll be playing the field position game) and add a compliment to Frank Gore as the league continues to move to favor 2 back systems.
14 Seattle Anthony Davis
OT Rutgers Seahawks rebuild the line after getting a Franchise QB.
15 NY Giants Brian Price DT UCLA Perfect fit to shoot gaps in a 4-3
16 Tennessee Kyle Wilson
CB/RET Boise St.
Wilson got a major boost at the senior bowl and with his athleticism he's likely to get another. Wilson both solidifies the CB corps behind Finnegan and gives the Titans the returnman they desperately need.
17 San Fran Bryan Bulaga
OT Iowa Bulaga was finally back to his dominating form of 2008 in the Orange Bowl and will be well rewarded for it. He'll be more than competent at RT and able to slide to LT in a pinch.
18 Pittsburgh Earl Thomas
S
Texas A bit early for a guy that couldn't get under 370 for the start of pre-draft workouts, so the Steelers get a excellent complement to Polamalu
19 Atlanta Everson Griffen
DE USC Falcons pass D needs more pressure from the front 4 to improve. Griffen at DE should be a big help and won't be a hindrance against the run.
20 Houston Taylor Mays S USC Bernard Pollard gave the Texans some passable safety play, but there's a reason he was cut and the John Busing/Brian Russell combo at the other safety spot is horrendous. Mays' stock is at it's nadir as teams have had nothing to do but watch tape. His stock will shoot back up when he looks amazing in shorts and a T-shirt.
21 Cincinnati Dez Bryant
WR
Ok St. With good workouts he's unlikely to fall this far, but a player who missed much of this past season needs to show a lot in workouts to maintain their stock.
22 New England Sergio Kindle OLB Texas The Pats are desperately in need of a pass rush.
23 Green Bay Trent Williams
OT Oklahoma Until Charles Brown shows up over 300lbs he won't break into the top 25. Williams has LT athleticism but only RT pass blocking skills at the moment. 
24 Philadelphia Carlos Dunlap
DE Florida Eagles love to bring the heat, a top rusher to put opposite Trent Cole would certainly do it.
25 Baltimore Jermaine Gresham
TE Oklahoma Todd Heap has morphed into an athletic tackle and "The Franchise Player" isn't an answer at all.
26 Arizona Brandon Spikes
ILB Florida Karlos Dansby seems likely walk away which would be a hole that needs to be filled. A high flying pass attack needs a strong pass D to prevent teams from keeping pace or closing deficits.
27 Dallas Mike Iupati G Idaho The 'Boys need OL help badly. Iupati might not be a pro LT, but the only other 1st round OT option remaining, Charles Brown, is far too light for Dallas' taste.
28 San Diego Jonathan Dwyer RB Georgia Tech LDT basically told the Chargers to shove it, so they'll need a bigger back to complement the dangerous, but severely undersized Sproles.
29 NY Jets Jared Odrick
DE Penn State
Odrick fills one of the Jets Ds few gaps
30 Minnesota Brandon Ghee
CB Wake Forest
Ghee is one of the favorites to end up on top of the CB pileup behind Haden.
31 Indianapolis Charles Brown OT USC The Colts have given up just 10 sacks, but that's a near miracle given the flaws Charlie Johnson and Ryan Diem have in pass protection. Brown will let them move CJ or Diem inside, making avoiding the rush easier on Peyton and improving the terrible run blocking.
32 New Orleans Sean Weatherspoon OLB Missouri Both Saints OLBs are over 30, Weatherspoon should add some more attacking speed to that D.

Star-divide

Round 2
33 St Louis Jason Pierre-Paul DE So. Florida The Rams DL will look like Spagnolo's Giants with Long, Suh, Carriker and Pierre-Paul
34 Detroit Jon Asamoah
OG Illinois The Lions add some OL to protect their big investment and keep their offense moving.
35 Tampa Bay Damian Williams
WR USC The Bucs need a WR upgrade if they want Josh Freeman to succeed.
36 Kansas City Terrence Cody NT Alabama Cody will make some 3-4 very happy on 1st and 2nd down each Sunday, and very frustrated the vast remainder of the week.
37 Washington Vladimir Ducasse OT Massachusetts
The new Redskins regime needs to protect their QB of the future
38 Cleveland Ryan Matthews
RB Fresno St.
A big back to fill the Lewis role in complement to Jerome Harrison
39 Oakland Arthur Jones
DT Syracuse A stout DT to a D that was sub par against the run overall, up the middle and in power situations.
40 Seattle Greg Hardy
DE Mississippi Seahawks snag a very talented DE who will be a massive boost to a sub-par pass rush if he's healthy and motivated.
41 Buffalo Ricky Sapp
OLB Clemson Buffalo will need to pour picks into the D to make the 3-4 conversion work anytime soon.
42 Tampa Bay Navarro Bowman OLB Penn State
Even if Ruud stays the Bucs could use some more LB talent.
43 Miami Morgan Burnett
S Georgia Tech
The Dolphins were consistently beaten deep on defense, tying for the league lead in passes of 40+ allowed, and slotting in at 3rd for passes of 20+ given up.
44 New England Javhid Best
RB Cal
The Pats upgrade from the RB hodgepodge of recent history.
45 Denver Maurkice Pouncey C/G Florida Denver's running game was generally strong, but repeatedly failed in short yardage. Shoring up the middle should fix that.
46 NY Giants Chad Jones
S LSU The Giants don't have much back there at safety.
47 New England Tyson Alualu DT Cal The Pats add another piece to the ailing front 7
48 Carolina Golden Tate
WR Notre Dame The Panthers passing O needs a target across from Steve Smith
49 San Francisco Devin McCourty
CB Rutgers
The Niners had one of the best pass rushes in the league, but the overall pass D, while good, didn't live up to the rush.
50 Kansas City Mike Johnson
G Alabama Chiefs shore up the OL.
51 Houston Brandon LaFell
WR LSU
A great compliment to Andre Johnson, so the Texans can keep lighting it up on O.
52 Pittsburgh Jake Fox
OT Miami While much of the Steelers sacks come from Big Ben's style, there's more they could do to protect him.
53 New England Eric Norwood
LB South Carolina
Versatile pass rushing LB to add to the Pats aging front 7
54 Cincinnati Rob Gronkowski
TE Arizona With a top TE and WR added to the O the Bengals should get their passing game back off the ground.
55 Philadelphia Donovan Warren
CB Michigan An explosive O without a strong pass D plays shootouts every week.
56 Green Bay Jerry Hughes
OLB NC St.
With OT addressed the Packers can work on replacing Aaron Kampman. The TCU edge rushers stock seems to be slipping, but he's a great fit in a 3-4.
57 Baltimore Patrick Robinson
CB Florida St.
The CB spots are the weakest point of a very good Ravens D.
58 NY Jets Dominque Franks
CB Oklahoma
Revis is great, but the CBs opposite him can be exploited by the Pierre Garçons and Austin Collies of the world.
59 Arizona Jason Worlids
DE/OLB Virginia Tech
An explosive offense needs to be complimented with a pass rush on D to prevent weekly shootouts.
60 Dallas Arrelious Benn
WR Illinois
Roy Williams still isn't working out. If he doesn't turn it around Benn can be the big target out wide.
61 Minnesota Willie Young
DE NC St.
Vikings add an edge rusher to insure the heat stays on, even in Ray Edwards departs.
62 San Diego Corey Wootten
DE Norwestern The Chargers reinforce a DL that struggled against the run without Jamal Williams
63 Indianapolis Daryl Washington MLB TCU Gary Brackett looks likely to be re-signed, but a replacement will be needed down the line and Washington would be able to play well at OLB for as long Brackett held up.
64 New Orleans D'Anthony Smith
DT Lousiana Tech Run D was the teams weakest phase.
Round 3
65 St. Louis T.J. Ward S Oregon With the DL beasting, some DB help to collect up all the hurried passes.
66 Detroit Perrish Cox
CB Ok. St.
DB help for a team that tied with Miami for the most passes over 40 yards allowed.
67 Tampa Bay George Selvie
DE So. Florida
The Bucs are also in need of another pass rusher, and pickup a rush DE.
68 Kansas City Demaryious Thomas
WR Georgia Tech
The broken foot will prevent him from rising up the board, but really how long can GMs resist a size-speed combo like Bey-Bey?
69 Washington Forfeit X X Pick used in '09 Supplement Draft
70 Oakland John Jerry
OG Mississippi
With a rebuilt OL the Raiders could actually use those big armed QBs and burner WRs.
71 Philadelphia Nate Allen
S Buffalo
With a new edge rusher, CB and S the Eagles pass D should take a massive leap forward
72 Cleveland Reshad Jones
S Georgia
The Browns pass rush was far better than the coverage, two new DBs should help that.
73 Buffalo Cam Thomas
NT UNC
A NT to drop down in the middle of the Bills new 3-4
74 Miami Torrell Troup NT Cent. Florida
An upgrade at each level of the D should give the Dolphins an even better compliment to their pounding ground O.
75 Jacksonville Tim Tebow QB Florida By the 3rd round, football and finance interests are close enough to justify the pick.
76 Chicago Kyle Calloway
OT Iowa
The downgrade in WRs and OL really derailed Cutler, with no picks in the first 2 rounds the Bears can only address one of those problems at a time.
77 NY Giants Matt Tennant C Boston College
A team with the Giants stable of RBs, a credible passing threat and a generally good OL shouldn't rank in the 20s in power running and running between the tackles.
78 Tennessee Jermaine Cunningham
DE Florida The Titans pass rush was majorly lacking last year.
79 Carolina Lamarr Houston
DT Texas An athletic DT for the Panthers Ron Meeks Tampa-2
80 San Francisco J.D. Walton
C/G Baylor Two fresh talents on the OL should boost the Niners struggling O.
81 Denver Jerome Murphy
CB
So. Florida
The Champ is on his last legs
82 Texans Toby Gerhart
RB Stanford Texans pick up a bigger back to compliment the shifty Slaton
83 Pittsburgh
Amari Spievey
CB Iowa
With the OL and S spots addressed and no NTs of value available the Steelers go to the next weakest spot on D.
84 Atlanta Sy'Quan Thompson CB Alabama They lost a very good CB last year and suffered for it.
85 Cincinnati Darrell Stuckey S Kansas Roy Williams is still in the league?  Really?
86 Oakland Sean Lee
MLB Penn State
Lee gives the Raiders a great 3 LB lineup.
87 Green Bay Akwasi Owusu-Ansah CB Indiana (PA) Big CB for the Pack's physical style
88 Philadelphia A.J. Edds OLB Iowa
Edds was a poor mans' Chad Greenway in college, that's enough for a top 90 pick.
89 Cleveland Brandon Lang
DE Troy The Browns pass rush wasn't bad, but upgrades are certainly possible
90 Baltimore Mardy Gilyard
WR Cincinnati Derrick Mason can't go on forever, and they don't really have a great #2 WR option either.
91 Arizona Kareem Jackson
CB Alabama
talented DBs are great to have when your O is forcing opponents to go pass heavy
92 Dallas Jared Veldheer OT Hillsdale With a stud G and a RT prospect Romo might not be running for his life all season.
93 Minnesota Colt McCoy
QB Texas Who is the QB in 2 years?  A 42 year old Favre? Tavaris? The Rosenchoppa?
94 San Diego Rodger Saffold
OT Indiana That high flying O comes to a crashing halt without great protection
95 Indianapolis Javier Arenas
CB Alabama Can contribute in the nickel/dime, but his real value would be upgrading the Colts terrible return game
96 New Orleans Zane Beadles OT/G Utah (see Chargers pick's comments)

The Champ is on his last legs

If not allowing a single TD all season is “on his last legs” then I’ll take him into his 50’s.

Like the Broncos picks, but I wonder if they could put Bulaga at guard. That’s who I have them taking in my latest mock. I like Pouncey in round two but I have a hard time seeing him fall. Corner in round three is a nice route, though I don’t know much about the USF kid.

by Sayre Bedinger on Feb 23, 2010 11:06 PM EST reply actions  

the Broncos not being great against #1 WRs fooled me

though they locked down #2s pretty well. They just leave Champ on a side instead of matching him up on the #1?

Vikings draft

I hope the Vikings would take Sean Weatherspoon, Charles Brown, or Ryan Mathews at #30, and then Brandon Ghee or another cornerback in the second round. It doesn’t make sense to take one of the second-tier cornerbacks in the 1st round, when one can be had in the second round. There isn’t much of a difference in my mind between Brandon Ghee and Jerome Murphy. Why not use the first round pick to get the best player available?

I don’t know much about Willie Young, but Ray Edwards will likely stay in a Vikings uniform.

As for Colt McCoy, put me down as cautiously optimistic about his future in the NFL. He has potential. That could be a good draft pick.

by medicineball on Feb 23, 2010 11:19 PM EST reply actions  

Ghee and Wilson

are high end second round late first round prospects. Ghee in particular has great size and speed to go with fairly good measurables.

by Flowing Willow on Feb 24, 2010 7:15 AM EST up reply actions  

I would perfer Wilson

From the little that I have read about the both of them…But the Vikings need to be sure to grab a corner with one of their first two picks.

by bgkrenz on Feb 24, 2010 10:22 AM EST up reply actions  

Ryan Mathews

I mentioned Ryan Mathews, but now I hear people questioning his vision. The Vikings run a zone-blocking scheme and probably want a running back with good vision. Thus, maybe Mathews wouldn’t be good for the Vikings in the first round.

by medicineball on Feb 24, 2010 9:11 AM EST up reply actions  

Vikings would be crazy to draft a RB in the first.

Oh, and keep in mind...

…that where I rank the players (top of 2nd round, third pick in 2nd round, etc) doesn’t mean that’s where I think they’ll be picked- I don’t think Gresham will be around at the bottom of the 2nd- it’s where I’d be willing to utilize a pick on that player.

looks good

not quite my rankings, but obviously your doing it with different scheme fits and needs.

by shake n bake on Feb 23, 2010 11:25 PM EST up reply actions  

Yeah, my thought...

…is that the Patriots are pretty much guaranteed to snag a DE and an OLB in this draft- it comes down to the quality of players. What drafting would give us the best pairing? I think that this draft is much deeper with OLBs, so I’d go for the best DE available in the 1st round. My belief is that the OLBs are in two tiers- Kindle, Graham and then everyone else. I think the drop off between top DEs and the rest is much greater.

That’s why I’ll go DE then OLB.

by Richard Hill on Feb 23, 2010 11:32 PM EST up reply actions  

You think a Graham and Wootton combo...

…would outperform an Odrick and Hughes/Sapp/Norwood/Bowman combo?

by Richard Hill on Feb 24, 2010 12:47 AM EST up reply actions  

Oh, I also forgot to commend you...

…on selected two OLBs. I would be extremely happy to see that happen. The reason our Super Bowl teams were so successful was the high quality in our LB core- something we’ve missed the past couple of seasons.

by Richard Hill on Feb 24, 2010 12:51 AM EST up reply actions  

Not sure about the TE pick

I seem to remember the Pats not using a TE nearly as much as the avg NFL team. The other picks are solid though.

by AirNorval on Feb 24, 2010 2:37 AM EST up reply actions  

Well our TEs were used less in the passing game...

…and more in the blocking game because our top 3 tackles and our #2 guard all were injured at some point over the season (often at the same time) so we had to drop our TEs into a blocking role. Next season, when everyone starts healthy, I’d expect the TEs to play a larger part in the passing game.

by Richard Hill on Feb 24, 2010 9:24 AM EST up reply actions  

But typically NE doesnt use a TE

For much offensive production, or am I wrong?

by Habte E on Feb 23, 2010 11:56 PM EST reply actions  

solid draft

It’s nice to see some new names moving up the list – Young DE and Ward S stand out. I think Pittsburgh fans prefer the big farm boys that wrestle steers for their line, not the beach crowd from Miami. But I think you did a good job fitting guys to teams. The one team’s draft I would question is Tampa Bay. The first two picks are great, but I think the linebackers are the best position on their team and White put up 8 sacks at RDE playing barely more than half of his team’s defensive snaps. After missing out on Suh and McCoy, I think they would be more likely to pick DT later, or a CB.

by ct17 on Feb 24, 2010 12:06 AM EST reply actions  

Eventhough you have the Chiefs taking Rolando McClain (Which could happen, I just wouldnt be happy)

This is probably the best draft ive ever seen for the Chiefs. Cody in the 2nd solves the NT issue. Mike Johnson is a perfect fit for our scheme. DeMaryius Thomas would be perfect, just icing on the cake for real. Good job shake. This is awesome.

by darwithabar on Feb 24, 2010 12:11 AM EST reply actions  

It's not bad at all for the Chiefs

It’s good, but I would have preferred a McClain/Pouncey/Cam Thomas/Nate Allen combo myself. This is a solid draft for the Chiefs.

So the Rams QBs were injured last year, eh? What about 2008? 2007?

I don’t really care if the Rams draft Suh or not. The Lions will get a great player in McCoy, Berry, or whoever. However the thinking that St. Louis can wait another year to get a QB will have the result of keeping them in a top five drafting position again in 2011 and most likely 2012. Hopefully, there will be a QB that they think is worth that pick. If not, I guess you could wait another year ……and another……

by dbcouver on Feb 24, 2010 1:36 PM EST up reply actions  

It is sad to see that Lions fans have more confidence in the intelligence of the Rams FO than Rams fans do.

You have a tougher choice than Detroit did last year as Suh or McCoy are twice the prospect Aaron Curry was, and Stafford is a better prospect than Clausen or Bradford.

Good luck to you however you pick.

by NorthLeft12 on Feb 24, 2010 2:26 PM EST up reply actions  

honestly i have to disagree that Staford was a better prospect..

Clausen had 28 tds 4int 68% comp in a a pro style offence under one of if not the grates QB coach in our time..

Stafford had 25tds 10int 61% comp

going off of what we knew about Stafford this time last year and what we know about Clausen now.. i would have to give it to Clausen… not saying he will be better but stats say alot when your talking QB prospects.. Clausen is also the most pro ready QB to ever come out.. and has the best stats of any junior QB…. i think he as much as a cant miss as suh and berry are people just cant see it b/c there head is to far up suh..

If it makes you feel any better I’d draft Bradford first overall with the Rams.

While much of the Steelers sacks come from Big Ben’s style, there’s more they could do to protect him.

Like letting the players grow more into their position instead of putting a rookie in and starting all over? The only postion that needs an upgrade is RG and we may have it on the roster. We’d take C Thomas. Aside from that pick I am rather pleased with this draft. The only thing i’d change is picking Thompson over Spievey since Thompson could convert to safety.

I getting tired of saying this: Dick LeBeau’s system is so complex very few rookies can make an impact.

One of the best Cowboys mocks I have seen in awhile!

Though it does not address our S need the values of the players drafted is awesome. Benn at 59 is a steal. Though he is a bit raw he has a great size speed combo. This draft also completely fixes the OL.

by Flounder69 on Feb 24, 2010 9:19 AM EST reply actions  

I like Sergio Kindle...

… for Miami’s first pick over Brandon Graham. But it may be between the three… Derek Morgan, Brandon Graham and Sergio Kindle and agree it is most probable a Rush OLB at #12.

I really love the Morgan Burnett pick at #43 as a Free Safety for the Dolphins. Haven’t seen anything like it in other Mocks. Seems a perfect fit.

I don’t think Terrell Troup will be around when Miami picks in the third though… but a very realistic mock.

No QBs in the second round. Pike, Lefevour, Robinson to the 4th or worse?

I have to say that I agree with MB on the Vikings 1st pick. Unless there is some insane difference between CBs Ghee,Warren, Cox, Robinson, ect, I would use my 1st round pick on a real difference maker with the 1st round pick. I will agree that you have the stud DTs and DEs already going to other teams. This means that JPP and Weatherspoon are the only two immediate difference makers to choose. Then take the best CB in the second. However, if you really rate Ghee closer to Haden than to Cox then I can’t dispute your pick.

I would not expect Colt McCoy to drop to the third. I would take Myron Rolle here simply as value. But a DT, a Guard, a DE are also needed. But if the Viking coaches like McCoy for their QB of the Future I see them taking him. My problem is this. If they truly believe he is the future why would they wait until the third to get him. I think it more likely they use their #30 pick on any QB who they feel is a “Franchise” QB. At least use their #62 pick. What if you waited for your future and in the third round Arizona took him with the #91 pick? No, If the Vikes don’t take him earlier I see them waiting on a project way later in this draft like Robinson, Lefevour, Crompton, Skelton, ect. and to keep building that defense with the first three picks.

Winning is not everything but it sure feels like it sometimes

by lifelongvike on Feb 24, 2010 10:12 AM EST reply actions  

Broncos.

I would LOVE Pouncey in the second, but I fear it’s getting less likely that he’ll be available at #45. I think Williams is a fine pick in the first, as well. I agree that CB might become a priority for Denver, but I’m just not much into Murphy specifically. Very impressive effort overall, though!

Seahawks:

Can’t complain with Clausen, A. Davis, and Greg Hardy, though if Lamarr Houston drops into the third round, I’d be praying for us to trade up to draft him.

Dream Draft: Clausen, Brown (#24), Houston, McKnight, Mike Williams, Black, McManis, DTN.

Bills

Right on with you mock ….OT/LB/DT …. would love to trade down in the first though for an extra pick

Raiders

OMG, so far this is the best draft I’ve seen from the Raiders standpoint. Is there anyway we can get you into their war-room…dress up in a black jumpsuit and dawn some old-man shades and pick away!

Browns fan here, this is my first post over here. From my perspective, good mock. I really like Matthews in the 2nd. I’m also high on Demaryius Thomas, but that’s just me.

However, it seems like you’re pretty low on all of the reciever this year. Just a general impression I got.

no why bryant falls to 21 and benn at the end of the 2nd. Don’t see Pierre-paul falling to the 2nd either considering he will probably be one of the most impressive at the combine
