KA1Z3R's Seven Round Mock, Added Important Notice at Bottom

This is my first attempt at a full seven round mock. Not predicting trades. Will explain first and second round selections and any other significant picks or picks I feel will need explained. Not necessarily picks I agree with, just what I see happening. I apologize beforehand if I accidentally left out a high caliber player. Like I said, these picks are not necessarily what's best for the teams, just what I see happening. While a team may have needed say, a corner, but instead made sure to address their O-Line and taken a best available player or two.

ALSO, please let me know who you think the winners and losers of the draft are, and who the biggest reaches and steals are.

Hope you enjoy!

 

 FIRST ROUND-

1. Carolina Panthers- Cam Newton QB Auburn- Don't agree with this pick at all. Cam will need quite some time to develop and learn, has accuracy and mechanics issues, and is inconsistent at times. Much greater needs for this team and there's no line or receivers for Cam. Just stick with the actual decently accurate QB in Clausen who doesn't need a couple seasons to develop. Unfortunately, they won't.

2. Denver Broncos- Marcel Dareus DE/DT Alabama- Denver switching to the 4-3, need 4-3 D-Linemen. Dareus could be very good and is arguably one of the safest picks in the draft.

3. Buffalo Bills- Von Miller OLB Texas A/M- Will either be an elite player, or a good starter. Can't see Miller ending up as a bad player. Fits the Buffalo 3-4 and gives them much needed pass rush.

4. Cincinnati Bengals- Blaine Gabbert QB Mizzou- Cincy needs a QB. They need to start over on offense. Gabbert can come in and start immediately and be a pretty solid QB. I've seen a lot of mocks with AJ Green here, but there's plenty of receivers in this draft. Cincy can get a good starter in the second. No need risking on Ryan Mallet in the second. Take the guarantee at QB.

5. Arizona Cardinals- Robert Quinn OLB/DE North Carolina- Cards make a reach and go for Quinn. Quinn doesn't seem to have lost a step and would bring immediate pass rush to the Cardinals. There's a ton of talk out there that they'll be looking for a vet when the CBA gets done and might just get a guy later on. Robert Quinn looks like Brian Orakpo, but better against the run. Arizona likes that.

6. Cleveland Browns- Julio Jones WR Alabama- The Browns passing on AJ Green? That's right. Jones better fits their West Coast scheme. Jones is very sure handed and the team needs a possession guy in their West Coast scheme who can pick yards after catch. Julio also arguably the best blocking receiver in the draft, and the Browns love to run the ball.

7. San Francisco 49ers- Patrick Peterson CB LSU- Niners weak secondary, Peterson looks like best corner in draft since Darelle Revis. Pretty simple.

8. Tennesse Titans- Nick Fairley DT Auburn- Titans need a playmaker on defense and go for the biggest playmaker on the D-Line in the draft. Has some consistency and character issues, but I think Tennessee takes the risk for the insanely high reward. Probably go QB in the second.

9. Dallas Cowboys- Prince Amukamara CB Nebraska- This draft is deep on the offensive line and Prince is almost as good as Patrick Peterson. I can't see Dallas passing on Amukamara. Their secondary is horrible.

10. Washington Redskins- AJ Green WR Georgia- Washington needs a big playmaker in their passing game no matter who the QB is. I thought about Jake Locker as a possibility here, but I don't see Washington passing up a receiver like AJ Green. A do-everything jack-of-all-trades kind of guy, Green gives the next Redskins a dangerous and consistent receiver.

11. Houston Texans- Aldon Smith OLB/DE Mizzou- Aldon Smith is a pass rushing animal who fits the mold of a DeMarcus Ware. New defensive coordinator Wade Phillips sure would love that to build his new 3-4 scheme around that. If Prince was here, he'd be the pick, but the Texans "settle" on Smith. If by settle you mean, still get a potentially great pass rusher for their 3-4 defense.

12. Minnesota Vikings- JJ Watt DE Wisconsin- Watt is a bit of a reach, but Minnesota likes to have a big, mean, physical defense. They also don't care if ESPN gets on to them for reaching on players. Watt is big DE who can come in and fill the void at LDE and is a much better run stopper than what Ray Edwards was. JJ Watt is just the kind of player Minnesota loves to have.

13. Detroit Lions- Da'Quan Bowers DE Clemson- No way the Lions pass on an animal of a pass rusher like Bowers. Boosts their run defense more than people would think, and gives them another deadly pass rusher. Lions become the defensive line no one wants to match up on. Plenty of corner options later on for Detroit.

14. St. Louis Rams- Corey Liuget DT Illinois- No way the Rams pass on a guy like Liuget. In my opinion, the most sure-thing at 4-3 DT in the draft. St. Louis needs to fix that weak run defense, and Liuget is just the perfect fit. Can even learn from a guy with Super Bowl experience in Fred Robbins, the other DT for the Rams. Great situation for a great player.

15. Miami Dolphins- Jake Locker QB Washington- I don't buy the talk of Mark Ingram coming to Miami. Everyone is picking it, but I'm very skeptical. Locker meanwhile can come in and revitalize their dismal passing game. He can sit and learn while Henne plays, or compete for the spot from day one. Dolphins can get their QB of the future. There's some good running backs when they pick next in the third, and teams can usually find decent backs in free agency whenever free agency begins. I also think one of Ricky Williams or Ronnie Brown will be back.

16. Jacksonville Jaguars- Cameron Jordan DE California- Aldon Smith and Robert Quinn are off the board, but the Jags don't fail to find a good pass rusher in Cameron Jordan. The big physical Jordan isn't just pure pass rush though. He also does a pretty good job playing the run. So even if he doesn't pan out like an elite pass rusher like the Jags plan (deja vu), he should still be a good run stopper.

17. New England Patriots- Justin Houston OLB/DE Georgia- The Pats have plenty of picks, so they can go ahead and take the reach on Houston who could very well be an elite pass rusher. Especially with some great tutelage from Belicheck. Though the Pats would probably prefer JJ Watt.

18. San Diego Chargers- Akeem Ayers OLB/DE UCLA- Ayers is a versatile backer who plays coverage and the run very well. He'll struggle early on with his pass rush, but has shown he's capable of being a good pass rusher in a year or two. Ayers has a lot of potential and can make an impact early on.

19. New York Giants- Tyron Smith OT USC- Smith drops all the way to 19th where the Giants will happily pick him up. A lot are saying that New York will nab Castonzo, but I think the Giants take the athletic and, in my opinion, more well-rounded lineman in Smith who has a ton of potential.

20. Tampa Bay Buccaneers- Ryan Kerrigan DE Purdue- Tampa was 31st in sacks last year, they need a good edge rusher. I think Kerrigan will be a good DE in the NFL with potential to be elite. Kerrigan can come in an be a 7 or 8 sack guy his rookie year and adds some help on edge rush containment.

21. Kansas City Chiefs- Phil Taylor NT Baylor- The Chiefs need a nose tackle very badly. No more developmental picks, time for the immediate impact players. Taylor is an absolute animal of a run stopper who gobbles up blockers like a Hungry, Hungry Hippo. The Chiefs have needed a guy like Taylor for quite a while. No way they pass up on him.

22. Indianapolis Colts- Anthony Castonzo OT Boston College- The Colts rush to the podium as Castonzo, arguably the best pass blocker in the draft, falls down to 22. Indy needs to protect Peyton Manning, and few are better for the task than Castonzo. Not a great run blocker, but the Colts don't really need him to be. Though he has potential to become a good run blocker in a year or two.

23. Philadelphia Eagles- Jimmy Smith CB Colorado- Few mocks don't have Smith going to the Eagles and for very good reason. Jimmy Smith could very easily be at 23, and he gives them a playmaker opposite Asante Samuel to give them a feared secondary once again.

24. New Orleans Saints- Mark Ingram RB Alabama- Their dismal and oft injured running back corps; no way they pass up on Ingram. Saints fans cheer the most they have since they won the Super Bowl, this is just that big of a deal.

25. Seattle Seahawks- Christian Ponder QB Florida State- People are saying that if Locker isn't here, then Seattle takes Ryan Mallet......why? His big inaccurate arm doesn't fit their West Coast scheme at all. Ponder is an accurate guy who fits the offense like a glove. Can start and make an immediate impact, bringing a breath of fresh air to the offense. Mallet to Seattle? C'mon man!

26. Balitmore Ravens- Derek Sherrod OT Mississippi State- Baltimore needs a tackle to play opposite Oher. A fellow player from a Mississippi college, Sherrod is a very balanced lineman who can do whatever you ask of him. He just seems to fit what Baltimore needs perfectly. They love stealing him away, just as they love getting steals every year.

via www.thenationalfootballreport.com

27. Atlanta Falcons- Adrian Clayborn DE Iowa- The Falcons need someone to replace Jamaal Anderson, and someone to play on the other side of him. Clayborn is a great mix of pass rush and run stop. He can come in and bring immediate improvement and give Atlanta a very dangerous DE duo. The Falcons could also look at Torrey Smith or Leonard Hankerson, but they gotta shore up their defense.

28. New England Patriots- Mikel Leshoure RB Illinois- New England needs a feature back, Leshoure is a sure thing and a very tough runner. Enough said.

29. Chicago Bears- Gabe Carimi OT/OG Wisconsin- Big, physical, versatile, and most importantly, consistent. The Bears need consistency from their linemen, and Carimi is a good place to start. Also a mean lineman and the Bears love that mean bully mentality on offense and defense. Their finesse offense gets an attitude and great lineman to build around in Carimi.

30. New York Jets- Cameron Heyward DE Ohio State- What a steal! A solid defensive end who's stout against the run to play opposite Shaun Ellis, Heyward is yet another one of those immediate impact guys. The only thing that could be better is if Phil Taylor dropped this far. But Cameron Heyward might just be the best consolation prize there is.

31. Pittsburgh Steelers- Mike Pouncey G/C Florida- The Pouncey brothers reunited, Mike is not as good as Maurkice, but is still one hell of a guard. Steelers can build around those two for a decade, just what Pittsburgh likes.

32. Green Bay Packers- Brooks Reed OLB/DE Arizona- The Packers really want someone to take the attention away from Clay Matthews. Well until DeMarcus Ware becomes a free agent (because no one is ever going to take the attention away from Clay), Reed will do just fine. A great pass rushing DE for Arizona, he can easily shift to OLB and give the defending Super Bowl champs a good pass rusher.

SECOND ROUND-

33. New England Patriots- Muhammad Wilkerson DT Temple- Can play 3-4 DE for the Patriots and help out their rush defense. Would do very well playing beside Wilfork. Would give New England a big and overpowering D-Line.

34. Buffalo Bills- Nate Solder OT Colorado- Bills need better O-Line play and Solder is a balanced guy who can start from Day 1.

35. Cincinnati Bengals- Jonathan Baldwin WR Pitt- You think Cincy would pass up on a tall, physical, sure-handed receiver for their new QB? Yeah me either. Baldwin could be very good, especially if Chad Johnson (refuse to call him Ochocinco) is kept. Him and Jordan Shipley could become a very good receiver duo.

via nflsoup.com

36. Denver Broncos- Mason Foster LB Washington- Most mocks have Kyle Rudolph here, but Denver really needs to get 4-3 players and good ones. Their defense needs more help right now, and defensive-minded John Fox won't hesitate on the well-rounded and athletic Mason Foster.

37. Cleveland Browns- Stephen Paea DT Oregon State- Cleveland gets a disruptive D-Lineman to help boost their pass rush. This is a very nice steal for the Browns.

38. Arizona Cardinals- Brandon Harris CB Miami- Harris gives the Cardinals another good man-to-man corner opposite Rogers-Cromartie to go with their improved pass rush. Not a bad way to revitalize a defense.

39. Tennesse Titans- Andy Dalton QB TCU- Dalton might be a great QB some day. Tennesse has a good line, a great running game, and a good receiver in Kenny Britt. So there's plenty for Andy Dalton to work with once it's his time to start, which might actually be Day 1.

40. Dallas Cowboys- Marcus Gilbert OT Florida- A big athletic lineman who is a very solid pass blocker. Could be a big lift to the Dallas O-Line. Might be too big for their ZBS, but Gilbert is athletic enough to play in it. No way Dallas passes on his pass protection ability.

via www.giantsgab.com

41. Washington Redskins- Ryan Mallet QB Arkansas- The Redskins got their big play WR, now they get a big play QB. Mallet is far from a safe pick, but Washington takes the risk anyway with visions of deep balls to AJ Green and Santana Moss dancing in their heads.

42. Houston Texans- Rahim Moore S UCLA- Everyone says Houston needs a corner, and they do, but they also need a safety just about as bad. There's not really a great corner at this point, but Moore is a playmaker at safety.

via 4.bp.blogspot.com

43. Minnesota Vikings- Greg Little WR North Carolina- I feel pretty confident in the Vikings sticking with Joe Webb at QB. He showed a lot of potential, and the only other QB left is too similar to Webb. So the Vikings may as well get a big sure-handed receiver to replace Sidney Rice.

44. Detroit Lions- James Carpenter OT Alabama- The Lions need help at the tackle positions. Carpenter was a very good pass blocker for Alabama and brings a big strong guy to the Detroit line.

45. San Francisco 49ers- Marvin Austin DT North Carolina- The Niners have a big need for a pass rush OLB, but the chance at a 1st round talent to play 3-4 DE is too much to pass up. Huge steal if he actually pans out.

46. Denver Broncos- Kyle Rudolph TE Notre Dame- They didn't get him before, but they get him now. Rudolph is without a doubt the best TE in the draft and is a reliable option for Tebow/Orton.

47. St. Louis Rams- Leonard Hankerson WR Miami- The Rams have a major need at WR and they really need a playmaker. Hankerson and Torrey Smith both fit the role, but Hankerson is much more consistent.

48. Oakland Raiders- Stefen Wisniewski G/C Penn State- The Raiders need new linemen for their power block scheme and Wis can come in and play either guard or center and bring immediate improvement. Great pass blocker and an improvement to the run blocking. His uncle Steve Wisniewski is an O-Line coach.

49. Jacksonville Jaguars- Ras-I Dowling CB Virginia- Dowling falls and the Jags are happy to scoop him up. Fast physical corner who fits the mold of the Jags.

50. San Diego Chargers- Christian Ballard DE Iowa- Big physical end who plays the run very well. Finally get a replacement for Igor Olshansky.

51. Tampa Bay Buccaneers- Ryan Williams RB Virginia Tech- Tampa needs a back to complement LaGarrette Blount and give them a 1-2 punch. Williams is a good back with playmaking ability.

via gridironfans.com

52. New York Giants- Danny Watkins G Baylor- Linebacker is a need for New York, but there are better backs later on. Watkins might be the best guard in the draft and is a huge steal at this point.

53. Indianapolis Colts- Jarvis Jenkins DT Clemson- The Colts need a DT to strengthen their interior run D. Jenkins can come in and start as a solid contributor from the get go.

54. Philadelphia Eagles- Ben Ijalna OT/OG Villanova- A steal for Philly, Ijalna is a versatile and very well-rounded lineman who might be a star one day.

55. Kansas City Chiefs- Jabaal Sheard OLB/DE Pittsburgh- The Chiefs need a pass rusher opposite Tamba Hali, and Sheard is a great pass rushing prospect.

56. New Orleans Saints- Bruce Carter OLB North Carolina- Good linebacker with a lot of potential who fits in well with their 4-3 scheme. The only thing that could have been better was if Mason Foster had fallen this far.

57. Seattle Seahawks- Titus Young WR Boise State- The Seahawks need a legitimate number 1 receiver. Mike Williams won't ever be that number 1, and Golden Tate looks like a slot guy, but Young is a do-it-all number 1 WR guy.

via assets.sbnation.com

58. Baltimore Ravens- Davon House New Mexico State- A big, fast, physical press corner? Baltimore gobbles up another steal.

59. Atlanta Falcons- Torrey Smith WR Maryland- How far can having inconsistent hands cause you to drop in the draft? The bottom of the second. Smith is a big time speed demon and would immediately force defenses to stop eying only Roddy White.

60. New England Patriots- Marcus Cannon OT/OG TCU- The Pats get a big, physical, versatile lineman to either bring immediate impact, or develop to replace aging starters. Either way, Pats love the steal.

61. San Diego Chargers- Jerrel Jernigan WR Troy- The Chargers could use a big playmaker at receiver and just overall depth at receiver. Jernigan's speed adds a gamebreaker to the offense and to the special teams.

via d.yimg.com

62. Chicago Bears- Rodney Hudson C Florida State- Bears get another immediate impact guy for the O-Line. Hudson is a center, but can play guard for the Bears' ZBS.

63. Pittsburgh Steelers- Aaron Williams CB Texas- Pittsburgh needs a corner. Williams is an athletic guy who can up and play well against the run, a big attribute for the Pittsburgh defense.

64. Green Bay Packers- Clint Boling OG Georgia- The Packers need a guard. Boling isn't a favorite of mine, but he's still a good prospect.

THIRD ROUND-

65. Carolina Panthers- Randall Cobb WR Kentucky- Cobb is a steal at this point. The Panthers need a good sure-handed guy to play opposite Smith and to help Newton.

66. Cincinnati Bengals- Taiwan Jones RB Eastern Washington- A high risk guy, but brings a dynamic speedster to complement Cedric Benson. Offense needs to generate big plays, and Jones can do that.

via www.rookiedraft.com

67. Denver Broncos- Curtis Brown CB Texas

68. Buffalo Bills- Colin Kaepernick QB Nevada- Just can't see Buffalo passing on the high potential of Kaepernick. He'll need a year or two to develop and learn anyway, so Fitzpatrick can still keep playing as the starter.

69. Arizona Cardinals- John Moffit G Wisconsin

70. Cleveland Browns- Dontay Moch OLB- Browns going back to 4-3 and need pass rush. Moch beast of a pass rusher.

71. Dallas Cowboys- Quinton Carter S Oklahoma

72. New Orleans Saints- Drake Nevis DT LSU- Saints snag a solid DT to help out their 4-3 defense.

73. Houston Texans- Brandon Burton CB Utah- Texans wait and get a pretty good corner.

74. New England Patriots- Edmond Gates WR Abilene Christian- Patriots don't really have a game breaker speed threat at receiver. Gates is incredibly fast and a great return option also.

via cdn.bleacherreport.net

75. Detroit Lions- Kendall Hunter RB Oklahoma State

76. San Francisco 49ers- Daniel Thomas RB Kansas State- Westbrook isn't a great compliment for Gore, nor is he young. Daniel Thomas can fill in if Gore gets injured, or just be a good compliment to him when healthy.

77. Tennessee Titans- Jason Pinkston OG Pittsburgh

78. St. Louis Rams- DeMarco Murray RB Oklahoma- Good speedy compliment for Steven Jackson that adds new dimension to offense, great third down back to dump off to.

79. Miami Dolphins- Jordan Todman RB Connecticut- Finns grab the running back they've been needing. Good all-around back who does it all.

80. Jacksonville Jaguars- Robert Sands S West Virginia- Need upgrades at safety, Sands has potential to be great. Physical in coverage.

81. Oakland Raiders- Jaiquawn Jarrett S Temple- Bit of a reach, but Raiders need much better safety play.

82. San Diego Chargers- DeMarcus Love OT/OG Arkansas

83. New York Giants- Quan Sturdivant LB North Carolina

via www.giantsgab.com

84. Tampa Bay Buccaneers- James Brewer OG Indiana

85. Philadelphia Eagles- Orlando Franklin OT Miami

86. Kansas City Chiefs- Austin Pettis WR Boise State- Need a consistent possession guy, great blocker and red zone target.

87. Indianapolis Colts- DeAndre McDaniel S Clemson

88. New Orleans Saints- Sam Acho DE Texas- Versatile pass rusher who can play DE or rotate at linebacker in the 4-3 "elephant backer" role.

via www.sportspagemagazine.com

 

 

89. San Diego Chargers- Deunta Williams S North Carolina

90. Baltimore Ravens- Shareece Wright CB USC- Ravens need corners. Whether Wright becomes a starter or just depth, the Ravens are improved by him.

91. Atlanta Falcons- Colin McCarthy OLB Miami

92. New England Patriots- Kelvin Sheppard LB LSU

93. Chicago Bears- Tandon Doss WR Indiana- Nice to have a big consistent sure-handed guy to hang your hat on.

via cdn.cloudfiles.mosso.com

94. New York Jets- Jeremy Beal OLB/DE Oklahoma- Jets need to add a good pass rushing linebacker to their defense.

95. Pittsburgh Steelers- Lee Ziemba OT Auburn

96. Green Bay Packers- Chimdi Chekwa CB Ohio State

97. Carolina Panthers- Jurrel Casey DT USC- Panthers finally get help on the D-Line with, in my opinion, a steal in Casey.

FOURTH ROUND-

98. Carolina Panthers- Luke Stocker TE Tennessee

99. Seattle Seahawks- Tim Barnes C Mizzou- Seahawks need to strengthen interior of the line. Barnes is a great pass blocker who can play guard or center.

100. Buffalo Bills- Lance Kendricks TE Wisconsin

101. Cincinnati Bengals- Will Rackley G Lehigh

102. Cleveland Browns- Nate Irving LB NC State- Browns need some 4-3 backers and Irving is a good find in the fourth.

via accmania.files.wordpress.com

103. Arizona Cardinals- Scott Tolzien QB Wisconsin- They get a developmental guy who can sit for a year or two, and then come in to start. Tolzien has a quick release, great accuracy, good mobility, and high intelligence. All characteristics of a great NFL QB.

104. Philadelphia Eagles- Greg Jones LB Michigan State- Can play inside or outside in their 4-3 and is a great pass rusher.

105. Houston Texans- Chris Neild NT West Virginia- Played NT in 3-3-5 and is a fast, attacking, undersized NT, just what Wade Phillips likes. Huge reach but fits the scheme perfectly.

106. Minnesota Vikings- Chris Conte S California

107. Detroit Lions- Chris Carter OLB/DE Fresno State- Lions need a rush backer.

108. San Francisco 49ers- Denarius Moore WR Tennessee- 49ers get a speedy playmaker who's sure hands might allow him to become a true #1 receiver.

109. Tennessee Titans- Curtis Marsh CB Utah State- Titans need some CB depth, Marsh could very well end up a good starter one day.

110. Dallas Cowboys- Allen Bailey DE Miami

111. Miami Dolphins- DJ Williams TE Arkansas

112. St. Louis Rams- Buster Skrine CB Chatanooga- Very fast, physical corner who also gives the Rams a deadly special teams return man.

113. Oakland Raiders- Mark Herzlich LB Boston College- Quentin Groves is not the answer at LB, let alone in a 4-3.

114. Jacksonville Jaguars- Vincent Brown WR San Diego State- Solid all-around wide receiver who fills the Torry Holt role, catching passes underneath to free up Mike Sims-Walker.

via tommyschultz.files.wordpress.com

115. San Francisco 49ers- Zach Hurd G Connecticut

116. Tampa Bay Buccaneers- Casey Matthews LB Oregon- Athletic linebacker who plays zone coverage well and easily snuffs out the ball carrier.

117. New York Giants- Delone Carter RB Syracuse

118. Kansas City Chiefs- Marcus Gilchrist CB Clemson- Chiefs need some corner depth

119. Indianapolis Colts- Cecil Shorts WR Mount Union- Speedy receiver who gives the Colts a dynamic game changer in the slot.

120. Philadelphia Eagles- Sione Fua DT Stanford

121. Jacksonville Jaguars- Greg McElroy QB Alabama- Jags get a solid developmental quarterback.

122. Buffalo Bills- Rashad Carmichael CB Virginia Tech

123. Baltimore Ravens- Joe Lefeged S Rutgers- Might develop into their replacement for Ed Reed.

124. Atlanta Falcons- Virgil Green TE Nevada- Future replacement for Tony Gonzales.

via cdn.bleacherreport.net

125. New England Patriots- Brandon Fusco C Slippery Rock

126. New York Jets- Ronald Johnson WR USC- Risky pick that might get them a playmaking slot receiver who might end up a starter one day.

127. Chicago Bears- Lawrence Guy DT Arizona State

128. Pittsburgh Steelers- Jalil Brown CB Colorado- One of Aaron Williams and Jalil Brown will pan out nicely, and if both do then all the better. Steelers need a starter and some depth.

129. Green Bay Packers- Shane Vareen RB California

130. Tennessee Titans- Chris Hairston OT Clemson- Big guy who can play tackle or guard

131. Green Bay Packers- Owen Marecic FB Stanford

149. Philadelphia Eagles- Pernell McPhee DE Mississippi State

163. Green Bay Packers- Jeremy Kerley WR TCU- If Donald Driver is retiring in the next couple years, they need to get a young, tough, possession receiver. Kerley fits the bill nicely.

166. Carolina Panthers- Dane Sanzenbacher WR Ohio State

179. Miami Dolphins- Noel Devine RB West Virginia- The Dolphins draft a gamebreaker at RB who can also play WR and KR.

180. Baltimore Ravens- Johnny White RB North Carolina- Ravens take a solid all-around runner to eventually replace Willis McGahee.

181. Oakland Raiders- Lee Smith TE Marshall- Raiders need a good blocking TE to free up Zach Miller. So they get a great blocker.

182. Jacksonville Jaguars- Chykie Brown CB Texas

There's winners and losers on draft day. There's always one or two teams who's drafts make you go "what the hell were they thinking?" And I had to account for that factor as well. Trust me, there's some of these I hated mocking because I think they're gonna be bad, but that's how the draft actually is.

I looked back on draft approaches, draft history, team weaknesses and strengths, asked fans of a few teams, looked over several 7 rounders, and went off impressions from having watched a ton of college football and more than my fair share of pro games.

I picked based on how I think things will go down on draft day. teams going best available, some strictly needs, some stockpiling at positions, some thinking they're fine at positions that are in question. That's how the draft is. Sorry if I didn't do a 7 rounder that fit nice and neatly with fans want, what i think is best, or what teams actually need the most. The draft never goes that way, and a lot of fans get disappointed.

That's why i love the draft so much. The heartbreak, the triumph, the sleepers, the reaches, the great picks, the very questionable picks, and I accounted for all of these. Don't go ripping me a new one if you don't understand the concept of a realistic mock draft.

However, I am up for a good civilized debate, so please comment and critique away. Just be civil about it.
