rlott#42's First round mock....As shocking as the real thing!!

Just wanted to post this so i could hear opinions from a variety of fans from diffeent teams.  No need to be nice, it's only the blogosphere.


Star-divide

1 Rams – Sam Bradford QB Okla. – Although Suh is the best prospect on the board, I feel that the Rams will choose to select their QBOTF, unless they plan on being the worst team in the league next season.

2 Lions – Russell Okung LT Ok St. – The Lions have a need at the LT in my opinion. Stafford ending the season on IR is a huge problem. Their current LT has given up an average of 10 sacks a season since he was resigned 3 years ago.

3 Bucs – Ndamokung Suh – The gem of the draft falls in the lap of the Bucs. Although Suh could still be the choice for 1 overall, in my current mock, he falls to 3rd due to the direction of the teams selecting before them.

4 Redskins – Bryan Bulaga LT Iowa – Clausen could be the pick here, but I think Shanahan will take a later round pick for a QB, since they will invest a lot of money at the pick.

5 Chiefs – Rolando McClain ILB Alabama – Before I was thinking Berry would go at this pick, but the Chiefs aren’t in a position to even make a selection here. It’s not about money, it is more about the several holes in their defense. They select a field general that can be the QB on the defense.

6 Seahawks – Jimmy Clausen QB ND – The Seahawks have no backup to an up-in-age QB that is injury prone, the Seahwks choose their QBOTF in Clausen.

7 Browns – Gerald McCoy DT Oklahoma – Browns get to upgrade a woeful DL with their first selection of the draft. This is truly unexpected as he falls into their lap at pick 7.

8 Raiders – Bruce Campbell OT Maryland – The Raiders may be moving in the right direction keeping a coach around, Al Davis will still take the most athletic prospect at whatever position he is drafting for.

9 BillsAnthony Davis OT Rutgers – The Bills have more holes in their OL than the Niners, and that is sad. Davis is the best option on the board for LT, IMO.

10 Jaguars – Dan Williams DT Tennessee – Although the other Volunteer is still on the board, the Jags need to get back to what worked for them, no one runs against us and everyone has to pass. The DT’s in this draft are a lot thinner than safety and or CB and the Jags wait to address their passing defense.

11 Broncos (CHI) – Dez Bryant WR Ok St. – I feel the Broncos will eventually find a suiter for Brandon Marshall and elect to take, arguably, the most dynamic WR in the draft in Bryant. Although the Broncos should address defense their coach is offensive minded and very ignorant.
 
12 Dolphins – Brandon Graham OLB Michighan – Parcels can’t believe Berry has fallen, but he can not ignore a pass rush monster that can get up the field and stop the run. Graham will be the replacement for the departing Porter.

13 49ers – Eric Berry S Tennessee – Two years in a row, the top player on their board falls in their lap. The football gods are smiling over Singletary’s head.

14 Seahawks (DEN) – Charles Brown LT USC – Seahawks choose to address the OL with this pick, assuming they want their veteran and heir apparet Qb to be held upright, with the departure of Walter Jones.

15 Giants – Everson Griffin DE USC – after his 4.66 40 at DE of the 4-3.

16 Titans – Sean Weatherspoon OLB Mizzou – Although the lost of VanDenBosch is big to the Titans, they are never unequipped with backup DE’s. With Bulluck up in age and possibly on the way out of town the Titans draft his replacement in Weatherspoon.

17 49ers (CAR) – CJ SPiller RB Clemson- The 49ers war room is doing the madman rain dance as they have Berry and Spiller to add to their 2010 roster. COP back with tremendous upside, the Niners land the highest impact players on offense and defense in the first.

18 Steelers – Joe Haden CB Florida – Although the Steelers CB’s don’t usually have talent, IMO, they have Haden fall in their lap. They can draft their NT of the future, or next prospect in the second round.

19 Falcons – Derrick Morgan DE G TECH – Falcons added their feature CB with Robinson, then thy boster the pass rush in the draft, watch out for the Falcons as Morgan will bolster the pass rush and run defense.

20 Texans – Kyle Wilson CB Boise St. The Texans replace Robinson, as they welcomed his departure. I almost used B Price from UCLA here to help with the PR and run defense, but when your achilles heel is the Colts, you have to pay attention to the DB’s.
21 Bengals – Jermaine Gresham TE Okla. I really hope the Bengals are not considering using Matt Jones as a TE, that would be a huge mistake. they need a safety valve for their struggling QB and anemic offense. After this pick they can focus on stopping the run and the deep ball.

22 Patriots – Mike Iupati OG Idaho – The Pats have issues up front, and have aging G’s on the line. They easily select the best G in the draft.

23 Packers – Trent Williams T Okla. – The Packers address an aging OL from the B Favre era, and are gonna try to protect their QB who is on the rise.

24 Eagles – Earl Thomas S Texas – The Eagles have a need at CB but usually have a young prospect waiting for the oppurtunity. They opt to take a safety with coverage ability that can play man or zone in their blitz crazy scheme.

25 Ravens – Taylor Mays S USC – What better player to learn from Ed Reed and Ray Lewis. Mays in his first season will be used as a new type of safety, seeing LB playing time in the Nickel and pissibly in other sets. He will be the heir apparent to Mr Reed on this stellar defense.

26 Cardinals – Jason Pierre Paul DE/OLB S Flo. – The Cards need help on the OL and need MORE help with thier pass rush. The best athletic speciman at the position falls to them sice the Raiders made a pick for OL.

27 Cowboys – Terrance Cody NT Ala. – The Cowboys run defense and pass rush get more help with adding Mount Cody to the mix. Ratliff can move to the position he started from and will be just as vicious with Cody swallowing two defenders.

28 Chargers – Ryan Matthews RB Fresno St – Chargers need to make some changes to their RB situation. the loss of LT before the choice of the heir apparent wil hurt them drastically this season.

29 Jets – Golden Tate WR ND – The Jets are going to add weapons to assist Sanchise the best they can, especially since they addressed their CB issue in free agency.

30 Vikings – Brandon Spikes ILB Florida – With injuries to their LB core for two seasons in a row the Vikings opt for Henderson’s replacement as injuries continue to plague him.

31 Colts – Mike Pouncey G Florida – The colts bolster their interior pass pro and running abiltiy, with the departure of Lilja the Colts inherit one of the better guards in the draft.

32 Saints – Brian Price DT UCLA – The interior of the Saints run D is always being shredded. With Price not only are they adding a presence vs the run, they are also adding a presence vs the pass.

Iupati to NE? That's something new.

Although I doubt that will happen, at least you didn’t have the Patriots taking Dez Bryant.

The 2010 New York Mets: Maybe it's the Phillies' turn to have 95% of its roster on the DL

The 2009 New England Patriots: At least we got our division title back

The 2009-10 New Jersey Devils: Allergic to second periods

Cowboys

The Cowboys would take Pouncey over Cody – they won’t take Cody in the first.

Being able to move Ratliff is something the coach has said he would like to do. I thought the LT would be replaced on the O Line first, since he leads the league in false starts every year, due to his hearing problem.

Equation= 1,2,2,3,3 is a lot better than 1,1,2,3 in a deep draft, especially when your 1 nets you E berry.

Alex Smith is not a bust, he is a product of poor management and coaching.

I don't mind the Giants getting a DE

but only if its the best player available. Griffen is not the best DE available..I don’t care about his 4.66, the next time a DE is running 40 yards is a good thing..let me know.

Derrick Morgan if you must go DE…maybe Brandon Graham cuz he’s a Trent Cole clone (and Trent Cole is good)

CJ Spiller, Trent Williams, Joe Haden…all better prospects then Griffen.

Griffen is basically Carlos Dunlap West (underachiever…). So yea…don’t really like that pick at all

Sean Weatherspoon is possible too

if he can be a MLB…which I don’t think is out of the question (he’s big and seemingly strong enough)

I don't think Griffen goes that high or before Morgan or Haden

but I also think you are underestimating Griffen and pigeonholing him

How so?

Dude was a top 10 recruit a 3 years ago (like Dunlap) is an incredible athlete (like Dunlap) and really never seemed to put it all together over the years.

He seems like Jason Pierre Paul except with 3 years of experience. He’s got the talent…but why doesn’t it show up

..what am I pigeonholing about him?

I’d take him in the 2nd round if he’s there…..

I read this mock draft and

thought “This guy must be a 49ers fan”. And sure enough, you are. San Francisco landing both Eric Berry at 13 and C.J. Spiller at 17. what a joke.

It was a fantasy mock and I just thought I would hand it to the world, you know.

Some of this is possible but the top 12 is meh!!

You guys wont get Eric Berry

Also, Crabtree wasnt the best player last year. I would change your sig but w/e

The Patriots have aging Gs?

Mankins is just entering his prime and we invested 2 picks on interior linemen last year (Ohrnberger, Bussey) and picked up another one (Connolly).

If we’re going to improve the O-Line, it will be at the OT position.

I'm not a fan and I don't follow closely.

My next mock will be more solid because of this, thanks for the input.

I understand.

by Richard Hill on Mar 15, 2010 12:00 AM EDT up reply actions  

You wanted honest opinions

NO TO DEZ TO DENVER!!!!!! He has proven he is BMarsh JR throughout this whole draft process. So why would we replace one headache with another?

And also, people feel the WR need is dire if BMarsh leavs well its not. Eddie Royal wasnt thrown to enough, and McD said he’d throw to him more. Also, Jabar Gaffney showed he can step into BMarsh’s role in the KC game, and we also have Brandon Lloyd and Kenny McKinley in the fold. And dont forget Stokley, who was clutch all year. We are fine at that position.

Right now, I’m convinced its either McClain or Dan Williams, so I dont blame you for taking Dez, but I think if this situation does come to fruition, we’ll take either Haden or Berry, or trade down for Iupati or Pouncey.

I looked through the draft

and the second I saw Eric Berry to the 49ers, I thought…definitely rlott42. And it was you. But on a more serious note, although I pray this happens, there is small chance.

Here's hoping 2010 is the end of our drought.

by Iwantwinners on Mar 15, 2010 1:28 AM EDT reply actions  

The Eagles would select Pierre-Paul over Thomas since they have a bigger need at DE

by The Legend on Mar 15, 2010 1:35 AM EDT reply actions  

gotta disagree

FS is at least a big a need on the Eagles as DE. Furthermore, JPP has major bust potential.

(I think Oakland will take JPP in any case)

by InsultComicDog on Mar 15, 2010 9:50 AM EDT up reply actions  

if Eric Berry is available I think the Jags definetely need to grab him(BAPand a team need)

by rhettchrystal on Mar 15, 2010 9:28 AM EDT reply actions  

The Jags need some pass rush and need it badly. Even with Kampman

Here's hoping 2010 is the end of our drought.

by Iwantwinners on Mar 16, 2010 9:15 PM EDT up reply actions  

While I agree

The Jags draft BAP and it is easily, without a doubt, Eric Berry.

Plus, I’m pretty confident that there are going to be some strong pass rushers in the middle and later rounds. Junior Gallette, Alex Carrington, Brandon Lang and Austen Lane are just a few examples.

I don't think we draft a CB in the 1st

since that would signify that we are giving up on the two CB we drated last year. I’d take Thomas

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

Lions skipping Suh for Okung

That is hysterical. If Suh is there, he’s either a lion or who-ever trades up to get him.

I’ve told you that I like the draft except…I don’t see Berry falling. I could see Spiller at 13 and Brandon Graham at 17 (and that’s my 49er happy dance moment because of the speed added there), but that aside…I think a lot of the picks make sense.

Mays to Baltimore?

I kinda like it. Would not be upset drafting one of the best athletes in draft history. He be nice to have.

My biggest surprise was actually Gerald McCoy falling to #7. That and Juice Williams not going 1st overall.

You have to hate losing more than you love winning.

by Mr MaLoR on Mar 15, 2010 3:18 PM EDT reply actions  

Who do the Vikings pick?

Sergo Kindle, Brian Price, Mike Pouncey, Brandon Spikes, and Odrick. All available at #30.
All good. No extreme need. Just BPA. My list shows Price, Kindle, Pouncy, Odrick, and Spikes in that order. No problem with you rating your guy higher than mine.

But the Vikings always pick BPA , except when they reached for Troy Williamson in the draft we would like to forget (2005). That was the one that got the coaching staff and front office fired.

Winning is not everything but it sure feels like it sometimes

by lifelongvike on Mar 15, 2010 4:42 PM EDT reply actions  

I figured you would have a CB at the top of your list, since that is your biggest need. I should have listed McCoy.

No CB at the top of my list.

The Vikings play a zone scheme exclusively. I can’t find a CB that is an exceptional value except Haden. All seem like fairly equal second rounders to me. I probably would rate them differently if we played a lot of man coverage. I’m looking forward to seeing how the Viking scouts and coaching staff rate the CB class.

Winning is not everything but it sure feels like it sometimes

You give us Dan Williams, a big NT.

We don’t need him since we’re 4-3. He’s not really our kind of DT either. We like 1 gappers, he’s a 2 gap guy. Please give us Berry. It would be sooooooo much better.

The whole point was to have Berry fall to my team, hence this being an off mock. I just tried to make justifiable picks so he would fall to us.

I see Williams as a Stroud Henderson type. Big physical and stout against th run and can get pressure vs the pass. I think D Williams is one of the more underrated players. I thought Price was too small for what your team has done in the past.

since the point is giving Berry to ya'll

then I can live with this pick :)
