Mock Draft from LA(Lower Alabama)

Decided to do my own post Combine Mock. I am basing this off of a few different sites and my own opinions of players and team needs. I have read most of the team needs off of this site and will try to take those into account where it fits. I am also accounting for FA and trades including a few of my own where I feel they make sense.

With the #1 overall pick the St. Louis Rams select - Ndmakoung Suh DT Nebraska. Yes, Bradford is the trendy pick but I do not feel he is a true franchise worthy QB. Suh is the best DT to come out of college in almost a decade. This pick is also based on my opinion that the Rams trade Carricker to the Redskins.

#2 Detroit Lions - Gerald McCoy DT Oklahoma - Schwarz is trying to build a dominant front 4 and though I personally am not a huge fan of McCoy I understand the attraction.

#3 Tampa Bay Buccaneers - Russel Okung OT OSU - After watching John Abraham beat Donald Penn like a drum and with both DTs gone Radio decides to go with an elite LT.

#4 Washington Redskins - Sam Bradford QB Oklahoma - Since Okung is gone Shanahan decides to take the drafts best QB to teach. Campbell gets 1 more year.

#5 Kansas City Chiefs - We have a trade! Buffalo trades the #9 pick overall and their 2nd rounder to move up 4 spaces - Buffalo then selects Jimmy Clausen QB Notre Dame. Chan Gailey brings in his own QB to mentor.

#6 Seattle Seahawks - Eric Berry S Tennessee - After having Clausen snatched out from under them Carrol and the gang go BPA. Berry instantly upgrades a weak Seattle secondary.

#7 Cleveland Browns - Joe Haden CB Florida - I am not a big fan of this pick, but there is no one I can think of to trade for and the Browns do not need a OT.

#8 Oakland Raiders - Anthony Davis OT Rutgers - I know he has some maturity issues, but of the non Iowa OTs he is the best available. On tape only Bulaga grades out as well.

#9 Kansas City from Buffalo - Rolando McClain LB Alabama - Makes much more sense here. KC gets a true leader for their defense and picked up and extra 2nd.

#10 Jacksonville Jaguars - Earl Thomas S Texas - Reggie Nelson is not good against the pass and they face Peyton and Schaub twice a year.

#11 Denver Broncos - Bryan Bulaga OT Iowa - Since McClain is gone this is the BPA.

#12 Miami Dolphins - Brandon Graham OLB Michigan - I know it is a little early, but he strikes me as a Parcells kind of guy. He will play OLB and add pass rushing ability and is good against the run.

#13 San Francisco 49ers - Trent Williams RT Oklahoma - Solidifies the OL for the niners. Will allow Gore and the gang to take the next step and win the West.

#14 Seattle Seahawks - Dez Bryant WR OSU - Young WR with a ton of upside. He has fewer issues than Marshall and will be much cheaper. There are no LTs left worth this pick.

#15 NY Giants - Dan Williams DT Tennessee - The loss of Robbins and the under performance of last years FAs makes this a smart move. He brings great size and power to the middle of the Gmens DL.

#16 Tennessee Titans - Derek Morgan DE Georgia Tech - Helps ease the loss of Vanderboch. Morgan is a force against the run and a terror against the pass.

#17 San Francisco 49ers - CJ Spiller RB Clemson - Gives some lightning to this offense. Added value as an elite KR.

#18 Pittsburgh Steelers - Golden Tate WR Notre Dame - There is not a S worth the 18th pick and HInes Ward is old. Randle El is not the answer, either is Limas Sweed. Tate also adds KR ability.

#19 Atlanta Falcons - Sean Weatherspoon LB Missouri - This kid is a flat baller. I thought about having the Giants draft him at 15. He is a leader and a perfect SLB for the Falcons. Plenty of DE talent.

#20 Houston Texans - Devin McCourty CB Rutgers - With Duanta off to the Falcons a #1 CB is a must. This kid has the makings of an elite shut down corner.

#21 Cincinnati Bengals - Taylor Mays S USC - This is a team that really needs an upgrade in the secondary. Mays is a freak athlete.

#22 New England Patriots - Sergio Kindle OLB Texas - NE really needs to improve their pass rush and Kindle has that type of ability.

#23 Green Bay Packers - Jason Pierre-Paul OLB USF - With Kampman gone, Green Bay needs another LOLB and JPP fits the bill. Fast, strong and quick, he will blossom under Dom Capers.

#24 Philadelphia Eagles - Mike Iupati OG Idaho - I hate to give him to the Eagles, but this is a big need for them. The Andrews boys are a bust and the rest are just average. I also considered Brian Price.

#25 Baltimore Ravens - Kyle Wilson CB Boise State - With the trade for Boldin and the signings of Mason and Stallworth, WR is not a 1rst round need.

#26 Arizona Cardinals - Ricky Sapp OLB Clemson - This guy is a Dansby clone. He is fast enough to play OLB and big enough to play ILB.

#27 Dallas Cowboys - trade with Seattle Seahawks for Seattle's 2nd round this year and 2nd next year. Seattle selects Charles Brown OT USC. Pete needs a LT and Brown is his boy. Cowboys saw all of there targets gone so traded back.

#28 San Diego Chargers - Terrance Cody NT Alabama - Best NT available and that is a huge need for SD. There are plenty of RBs available in the 2nd round.

#29 New York Jets - Jared Odrick DE Penn State - This was a position that lacked consistency for an otherwise spectacular defense.

#30 Minnesota Vikings - Brandon Spikes ILB Florida - Last year showed what a lack of depth at this position did to the Vikings. Spikes is a very good football player.

#31 Indianapolis Colts - Carlos Dunlap DE Florida - Youth to help ease the burden on Freeny and Brock.

#32 New Orlean Saints - Jerry Hughes OLB TCU - Replaces Scott Fujita. Provides an upgrade in the pass rush department.

2nd Round

#33 St Louis Rams - Colt McCoy QB Texas - Not as sexy as Bradford, but the kid is a winner. This is an attitude needed in St. Louis.

#34 Detroit Lions - Maurkice Pouncey OG/C Florida - This is a kid that offers extreme value. Can start at LG or C for the Lions.

#35 Tampa Bay Buccaneers - Tyson Alulau DT Cal - This guy has the strength and quickness to work in the Tampa 2 defense that Radio is bringing back.

#36 Kansas City Chiefs - Bruce Campbell OT Maryland - Raw athletic freak that is to good for Pioli to pass up.

#37 Washington Redskins - Roger Saffold OT Indiana - Need to protect Bradford and his glass shoulder.

#38 Cleveland Browns - Everson Griffen DE/OLB USC - Is being drafted to help out Wimbley and generate some QB presure. Has freakish speed for his size.

#39 Oakland Raiders - Lamaar Houston DT Texas - a powerful penetrating DT that creates havoc against the run.

#40 Dallas Cowboys(from Seattle) - Nate Allen S USF - Hamlin is hot garbage. Allen is a playmaker with good size and coverage ability.

#41 Kansas City Chiefs(from Buffalo) - Cam Thomas NT UNC - Big jelly belly to clog up the middle and free up McClain to make plays.

#42 Tampa Bay (from Chicago) - Kareem Jackson CB Alabama - Rnde is not getting any younger and Talib seems to like the back of police cars. Jackson is a tough cover corner that plays zone and man coverage very well.

#43 Miami Dolphins - Jermaine Gresham TE Oklahoma - Bill loves him some TEs and this kid is a playmaker unlike Fasano.

#44 New England (from Jacksonville) - Brandon Ghee CB Wake Forest - Pats need secondary help.

#45 Denver Broncos - Jamar Chaney ILB MSU - NEED a running mate for DJ.

#46 New York Giants - Donald Butler LB Washington - Solid MLB here.

#47  New England Patriots(from Titans) - Vladimir Ducasse OT UMass - Need a replacement for aging Matt Light. He will be able to learn the game from a true technician.

#48 Carolina Panthers - Demaryious Thomas WR Georgia Tech - need someone, anyone across from Smith.

#49 San Francisco 49ers - Chad Jones S LSU - Help solidify secondary. Jones is a good cover S.

#50 Kansas City Chiefs (from Atlanta) - Rob Gronkowski TE Arizona - Poetic ending to the Gonzalez era at KC. He is an elite 2 way TE.

#51 Houston Texans - Ryan Matthews RB Fresno State - Need a true #1 RB to balance the offense.

#52 Pittsburgh Steelers - Jahvid Best RB Cal - need a speed guy to compliment Mendenhall.

#53 NE Patriots - Damian Williams WR USC - need help with Welker hurt and Moss aging rapidly.

#54 Cincinnati Bengals - Jon Asamoah OG Illinois - Big strong g to keep running game going.

#55 Philadelphia Eagles - Jermaine Cunningham DE Florida - Speed rusher needed to get to QB. Cole needs help.

#56 Green Bay Packers - Jared Valdeheer OT Hillsdale - Small school big abiltiy. Eventually replace Clfton at LT.

#57 Baltimore Ravens - Dexter McCluster WR/RB Ole Miss - This is a pure BPA pick for Ozzie and the gang. He adds an interesting twist to the Ravens offense.

#58 Arizona Cardinals - Patrick Robinson CB FSU - Seriously need depth at DB.

#59 Dallas Cowboys - John Jerry OG Ole Miss - Big road grader to upgrade the LG position. Has experience playing RT and LT as well. More suited to OG.

#60 San Diego Chargers - Montario Hardesty RB Tennessee - Excellent all around back with speed and power. Will help Chargers fans forget LT.

#61 NY Jets - Mike Johnson OG Alabama - Faneca is not getting any younger. Gives Johnson time to learn from some of the best OGs in the game.

#62 Minnesota Vikings - Dominique Franks CB Oklahoma - need depth in secondary.

#63 Indianapolis Colts - Daryl Washington OLB TCU - Kid can fly. Is a perfect cover 2 OLB.

#64 New Orleans Saints - Corey Wooten DE Northwestern - Grant is done and this kid is very strong.
