Mock of the Wild 3: Three wild rounds

Version 3 of the exciting Mock of the Wild. The first three rounds. There aren't any trades here.

First round

1. St. Louis Rams
   
   Jimmy Clausen, QB, Notre Dame
   
   Clausen does everything as good or a little better than Bradford, and he stays healthy. The Rams need a franchise quarterback.


2. Detroit Lions
   
   Russell Okung, OT, Oklahoma State
   
   The Lions must protect Matthew Stafford. Jeff Backus stays with the Lions and switches to right tackle, locking down what was the weakest position on the line in 2009.


3. Tampa Bay Buccaneers
   
   Ndamukong Suh, DT, Nebraska
   
   BPA


4. Washington Redskins
   
   Trent Williams, OT, Oklahoma
   
   With the retirement of Chris Samuels, the Redskins don't have a franchise left tackle. They get one here. Shanahan also took an offensive tackle in his first draft with the Broncos.


5. Kansas City Chiefs
   
   Rolando McClain, ILB, Alabama
   
   The Chiefs need defensive leadership. McClain fits the KC defense like a glove. The Chiefs hope to pick up an OT later on. 


6. Seattle Seahawks
   
   C.J. Spiller, RB, Clemson
   
   Pete Carroll loves dynamic running backs, and he can get his franchise left tackle with the 14th pick.
   


7. Cleveland Browns
   
   Dan Williams, NT, Tennessee
   
   With his legal situation, Shaun Rogers might not be available for the whole 2010 season, and after that it's hit or miss anyway. The Browns will not run to the podium because this means they are passing on Eric Berry, but nose tackle is a critical need that must be filled.


8. Oakland Raiders
   
   Sam Bradford, QB, Oklahoma
   
   Al Davis is ready to move on at the quarterback position, and Bradford is a Heisman winner. The Raiders will look for an offensive tackle later.


9. Buffalo Bills
   
   Bryan Bulaga, OT, Iowa
   
   With their top choices already off the board, the Bills settle for a franchise left tackle.


10. Jacksonville Jaguars
    
    Gerald McCoy, DT, Oklahoma
    
    Best player available.


11. Denver Broncos
    
    Eric Berry, Safety, Tennessee
    
    Best player available


12. Miami Dolphins
    
    Jared Odrick, DT/DE, Penn State
    
    The perfect fit for the Miami defense


13. San Francisco 49ers
    
    Joe Haden, CB, Florida
    
    BPA


14. Seattle Seahawks
    
    Charles Brown, OT, USC
    
    The Seahawks snag their left tackle, Charles Brown, a player Carroll knows well.


15. New York Giants
    
    Derrick Morgan, DE, Georgia Tech
    
    Add punch to the defense with the best 4-3 defensive end available.


16. Tennessee Titans
    
    Everson Griffen, DE, USC
    
    The Titans need a pass rusher and they like guys from USC.


17. San Francisco 49ers
    
    Mike Iupati, G, Idaho
    
    The 49ers need an upgrade at right tackle, too, but they will fill that need later. Right now, they want to play smash-mouth football.


18. Pittsburgh Steelers
    
    Maurkice Pouncey, C, Florida
    
    With uncertainty at quarterback, the Steelers decide to improve the offense by adding to the line.


19. Atlanta Falcons
    
    Jason Pierre-Paul, DE, South Florida
    
    The Falcons need a great pass-rushing end, and they draft a great athlete.


20. Houston Texans
    
    Ryan Mathews, RB, Fresno State
    
    The Texans have playmakers throughout the offense, but not at the running back position.


21. Cincinnati Bengals
    
    Dez Bryant, WR, Oklahoma State
    
    The Bengals take the best player available and wave off any character concerns.


22. New England Patriots
    
    Brandon Graham, DE/OLB, Michigan


23. Green Bay Packers
    
    Anthony Davis, OT, Rutgers


24. Philadelphia Eagles
    
    Sean Weatherspoon, OLB, Missouri


25. Baltimore Ravens
    
    Jermaine Gresham, TE, Oklahoma
    
    
26. Arizona Cardinals
    
    Roger Saffold, OT, Indiana
    
    He would be ranked higher if he had gone to a bigger school. The Cardinals need to protect southpaw Matt Leinart's blind-side.


27. Dallas Cowboys
    
    Bruce Campbell, OT, Maryland
    
    With the release of Flozell Adams, this is a lock.


28. San Diego Chargers
    
    Terrence Cody, NT, Alabama
    
    
29. New York Jets
    
    Kyle Wilson, CB, Boise State
    
    Who are they going to throw at now?


30. Minnesota Vikings
    
    Kareem Jackson, CB, Alabama


31. Indianapolis Colts
    
    John Jerry, OT, Ole Miss
    
    The Colts will rank Jerry higher than most prognosticators. The Colts see all those offensive tackles flying off the board and decide they need to get theirs right here.


32. New Orleans Saints
    
    Taylor Mays, OLB, USC



Second Round



33. St. Louis Rams
    
     Daryl Washington, OLB, TCU


34. Detroit Lions
    
    Brian Price, DT, UCLA

    Golden Tate, WR, Notre Dame  
    
    
36. Kansas City Chiefs
    
    Cam Thomas, NT, North Carolina


37. Philadelphia Eagles
    
    Jon Asamoah, G, Illinois

    Tim Tebow, QB, Florida

    Vladimir Ducasse, OT, Massachusetts
    
    
40. San Diego Chargers
    
    Jahvid Best, RB, California


41. Buffalo Bills
    
    Dan LeFevour, QB, Central Michigan     


42. Tampa Bay Buccaneers
    
    Carlos Dunlap, DE, Florida  
    
    
43. Miami Dolphins
    
    Torrell Troup, NT, Central Florida  
    
    
44. New England Patriots
    
    Devin McCourty, CB, Rutgers   
    
    
45. Denver Broncos.
    
    Sean Lee, ILB, Penn State 
    
    
46. New York Giants
    
     Donald Butler, ILB, Washington  
    


47. New England Patriots
    
    Nate Allen, FS, South Florida  


48. Carolina Panthers
    
    Carlton Mitchell, WR, South Florida 


49. San Francisco 49ers
    
    Colt McCoy, QB, Texas
    
    The 49ers thought they could fill their need for a right tackle later on. It turns out, though, that they'll be trying for one of the later-round guys. They missed out on Ducasse.


50. Kansas City Chiefs
    
    Jerry Hughes, DE/OLB, TCU 


51. Houston Texans
    
    Chris Cook, CB/S, Virginia
