Here is the first half of my mock draft. The other half will go up tonight after I get home from work.

Quick note: I swapped Sam Bradford in the draft for Washington quarterback Jake Locker. The reason was mainly following an email exchange with 3k from Turf Show Times. And listening to Bradford's recent press conference, it sounds like he's ready to go pro.

For the draft order, I used the one put together by ejrulz in his mock draft.

1. St. Louis Rams - Sam Bradford, QB, Oklahoma
The Rams have no direction on offense. Taking a quarterback first overall would provide as much. Bradford has only played a half this season, but listening to a recent press conference, he sounds like a man ready to go pro.

2. Cleveland Browns - Eric Berry, SS, Tennessee
The Browns might have Abram Elam currently at strong safety, but Berry looks like a player who comes along once a decade. The Browns need help on the right side of their line, but Berry is hard to pass up.

3. Tampa Bay Buccaneers - Ndamukong Suh, DT, Nebraska
Whether it's Suh or Oklahoma defensive tackle Gerald McCoy, the Buccaneers need help along the defensive line. Suh has been arguably the best player in college football this season and will be a difference maker immediately.

4. Kansas City Chiefs - Bryan Bulaga, OT, Iowa
Branden Albert has been only average, and that's not good enough for a left tackle. Bulaga has the ability to be an elite player. If his health checks out fine, there's no reason to think he won't be a top five selection.

5. Tennessee Titans - Gerald McCoy, DT, Oklahoma
Clearly the Tennessee has skipped a beat this season without Albert Haynesworth. Many considered McCoy an early first rounder had he come out following his redshirt sophomore season. He's a quick, penetrating defensive end with great character.

6. San Francisco 49ers (via Carolina) - Taylor Mays, FS, USC
This is just a great fit for San Francisco. He's the physical presence the team doesn't have in its secondary. Mays might conjure thoughts of Ronnie Lott for Niners fans.

7. Detroit Lions - Russell Okung, OT, Oklahoma State
This would be a tough spot for Detroit with the top two defensive tackles off the board. If that's the case, the team could reach a little bit to take the left tackle many expected them to this season.

8. Oakland Raiders - Carlos Dunlap, DE, Florida
Lame Al Davis jokes aside, Dunlap is a great fit for the Raiders. Richard Seymour's contract is up at the end of the year and he's not expected to re-sign. Even with Seymour, a better pass rush is needed.

9. Buffalo Bills - Jimmy Clausen, QB, Notre Dame
Really, is Trent Edwards the future of quarterbacking for Buffalo? The team seems to have settled on Demetrius Bell at left tackle and no outside linebackers are really worth a top 10 pick.

10. Seattle Seahawks - Jonathan Dwyer, RB, Georgia Tech
It can be hard to justify taking a running back this early in the draft, but Dwyer has immense talent. Julius Jones is better as a second option and Edgerrin James has shown it's time for him to retire.

11. Miami Dolphins - Dez Bryant, WR, Oklahoma State
While Miami could use a nose tackle or future pass rushing linebacker, Bryant could be the best receiver in the draft since Calvin Johnson. Being ruled ineligible shouldn't affect Bryant's draft stock.

12. Arizona Cardinals - Trent Williams, OT, Oklahoma
Williams is still a project at left tackle, but Mike Gandy has struggled for the Cardinals. At the least, Williams is an NFL-ready run blocker.

13. Washington Redskins - Colt McCoy, QB, Texas
Clearly Redskins owner Dan Snyder is done with current starter Jason Campbell. The team tried to get Jay Cutler and Mark Sanchez. McCoy is a dependable passer who has better arm strength than people think.

14. San Diego Chargers - Damian Williams, WR, Southern California
The Chargers could be forced to replace receivers Vincent Jackson and Chris Chambers after this season. Williams has emerged as a legit No. 1 receiver for the Trojans.

15. Houston Texans - Joe Haden, CB, Florida
Everyone expected the Texans to take a difference maker in the secondary this year, and they didn't. Haden can get out position in pass coverage, but he's a great all-around corner.

16. Pittsburgh Steelers - Brandon Spikes, MLB, Florida
Steelers fans might be convinced Lawrence Timmons is the future inside, but I am not. Good middle linebackers average more than three tackles a game. Spikes would be a steal here. And even if Timmons sticks at middle linebacker, James Farrior is 34.

17. Green Bay Packers - Ciron Black, OT, LSU
Black might not be the best left tackle, but he's the best one available in this scenario. The Packers clearly need help along the offensive line.

18. Jacksonville Jaguars - Morgan Burnett, SS, Georgia Tech
Everyone seems to think Tim Tebow should be the choice here, but the team has a better chance of winning immediately by filling other holes. Wide receiver is a possibility as well, but Mike Sims-Walker is having a breakout season.

19. Dallas Cowboys - Brandon LaFell, WR, LSU
Since getting rid of Terrell Owens, justifiably, the Cowboys have lacked a dependable wide receiver. That's what LaFell would provide. He's not the fastest or the flashiest, but he gets the job done.

20. Atlanta Falcons - Greg Hardy, DE, Mississippi
Thirty-four games into his career, it's official: Jamaal Anderson is a bust. He has two sacks, which won't cut it for a 4-3 end. Hardy, when motivated, is as good of a pass rusher as there is in the nation.

21. Philadelphia Eagles - Sergio Kindle, OLB, Texas
Philadelphia's current group of outside linebackers feature a bunch of players who are only average. Kindle could be a sensation in the team's blitz-heavy scheme.

22. Cincinnati Bengals - Jermaine Gresham, TE, Oklahoma
Gresham's season-ending knee injury shouldn't stop a team from taking him in the first round. That's especially true if you consider that the Bengals' starting tight end is Daniel Coats.

23. New England Patriots - Rolando McClain, LB, Alabama
Whether they used him inside or outside, McClain could make a big impact for the Patriots. Other than Jerod Mayo and an aging Adalius Thomas, New England is somewhat light on linebacker talent.

24. Denver Broncos (via Chicago) - Terrence Cody, DT, Alabama
Cody would be the last piece the Broncos need to finish off the conversion to a 3-4. While I'm not the biggest fan of Cody's, the Broncos need someone in the middle to regularly take up multiple blockers.

25. New York Jets - Arthur Jones, DT, Syracuse
In the Jets' 3-4, Jones would get moved over to end, a position the team needs to address. Jones has the quickness and size to play end and would give coach Rex Ryan another good pressure guy.

26. San Francisco 49ers - Eric Norwood, OLB, South Carolina
Many expect San Francisco to take a quarterback, but Shaun Hill might be the kind of game manager coach Mike Singletary wants. Norwood would help a pass rush that's below-average from the linebacker spot.

27. Baltimore Ravens - Golden Tate, WR, Notre Dame
Tate is the kind of playmaking wide receiver the Ravens have never had. He can make big plays out of short passes and will be able to help on special teams.

28. Minnesota Vikings - Derrick Morgan, DE, Georgia Tech
Ray Edwards is a free agent after the season and is average at best. Morgan has shown flashes of dominance this season. He can get after the passer or stay at home and handle the run.

29. New York Giants - Marvin Austin, DT, North Carolina
Barry Cofield and Fred Robbins are facing free agency following this season and if both don't come back, tackle could be a big need. Austin has been inconsistent thus far, but has great talent. A coach like Tom Coughlin could harness it nicely.

30. Seattle Seahawks (via Denver) - Charles Brown, OT, Southern California
The career of left tackle Walter Jones is winding down. Brown is a similar kind of offensive lineman who has good athleticism and drive. While safety and quarterback can be considered needs, no players seem worth this slot.

31. Indianapolis Colts - Selvish Capers, OT, West Virginia
Some project Capers to play left tackle, but he's been on the right side for the Mountaineers this season. Either spot he plays, the Colts could use him. Middle linebacker could be a need, but that is a position that traditionally be addressed later in the draft.

32. New Orleans Saints - Sean Weatherspoon, OLB, Missouri
Outside linebacker and defensive tackle are the top needs for an overachieving Saints defense. Weatherspoon would be a perfect fit outside. He's a good tackler and can make up for the mistakes of teammates.

I've begun the process of putting together my first mock draft since the college football season started. After the jump, see who I have in the draft and who is staying in school.

At this point, I'm skewing toward more staying than not. No real reason. Yes, I'm aware more juniors enter than don't. But for the purpose of this mock, here is who we're going with:

The gang from Sporting News have put out a new mock draft. The first 16 picks are available to the general public. The rest are for members of the War Room.

Here's the first five picks:

1. Detroit Lions: Ndamukong Suh, DT, Nebraska

2. St. Louis Rams: Eric Berry, S, Tennessee

3. Kansas City Chiefs: Brandon Graham, DE/OLB, Michigan

4. Seattle Seahawks: Sam Bradford, QB, Oklahoma

5. Cleveland Browns: Arrelious Benn, WR, Illinois

SN used the 2009 draft order. Some of the great Mocking the Draft commentators have been discussing a mock draft order in a Fanpost by ejrulz. Join in the fun!

On this mock, you're seeing it right – Brandon Graham is being picked third overall. He's a good pass rusher, but at this point doesn't seem like a top-five player. A few other quick surprises: No Jevan Snead or Bryan Bulaga. Jared Odrick being the second defensive tackle off the board. A few undersized defensive ends were given out in Graham, Thaddeus Gibson and Dexter Davis. To me, none of those three scream Larry English.

Incidentally, stay tuned here at MTD for a new mock draft from our newest staffer!

This is Todd McShay's first mock for 2009. It came out shortly after the 2008 NFL Draft.

What he got right: Kansas City's drafting position, Andre Smith's draft position, Knowshon Moreno being the first running back taken.

What he got wrong: Just about everything else. Yikes. Just look at this thing:

1. Atlanta Falcons — Fili Moala, DT, USC

2. Detroit Lions — Michael Johnson, DE, Georgia Tech

3. Kansas City Chiefs — Matt Stafford, QB, Georgia

4. Miami Dolphins — Al Woods, DT, LSU

5. Cincinnati Bengals — Sen’Derrick Marks, DT, Auburn

6. Oakland Raiders — Andre Smith, OT, Alabama

7. Chicago Bears — Tim Tebow, QB, Florida

8. San Francisco 49ers — Michael Oher, OT, Mississippi

9. St. Louis Rams — Rey Maualuga, ILB, USC

10. New York Jets — Knowshon Moreno, RB, Georgia

How this relates to Mocking the Draft: You may think it's silly to put out a 2010 mock draft this time of year. You'd be right. However, we're going to do it anyway. This time next week, look for a one-round mock.

The problem in doing this comes in the draft order. Keep it how it was this year? Make a new order and get ripped by homer fans? The latter might be more fun.

We'll also begin putting out overall rankings for 2010 next week. There will be seniors and juniors.

Following the trade of Jay Cutler to Chicago, a new mock was a necessity. Make sure to check back later this week for an updated second round.

1. Detroit Lions
	Jason Smith, OT, Baylor: When Smith had an early March visit to Detroit, the Lions reportedly became enamored with the athletic left tackle. With Matt Stafford not being a sure thing as an immediate starter, Smith would give Detroit a great building block up front. Also, because it's unlikely Detroit will make a playoff run, the team will be able to find out if Daunte Culpepper still has what it takes to be a starting quaterback.
2. St. Louis Rams
	Eugene Monroe, OT, Virginia: How good is Monroe? Should he wind up being the Rams' pick, he'll instantly be the starter at left tackle and the team will barely skip a beat without Orlando Pace. Monroe has the power to handle bull rushers and the agility to manhandle speed rushers. Some even consider him a better pro prospect than Smith.
3. Kansas City Chiefs
	Aaron Curry, OLB, Wake Forest: Curry is widely regarded as the top player in the draft and would immediately become the strong-side linebacker in Kansas City. Curry is a consistent playmaker and will add greatly to the Chiefs' impressive youth movement.
4. Seattle Seahawks
	Matt Stafford, QB, Georgia: With the top two left tackles being gone, Seattle would be wise to draft Stafford and allow him to learn for a year or two behind Matt Hasselbeck. Given some time to properly understand the pro game, Stafford has the physical tools to be an All Pro for years.
5. Cleveland Browns
	Brian Orakpo, DE, Texas: Desperately in need of a pass rush, Cleveland would be wise to draft either Orakpo or Everette Brown if Curry is gone. Orakpo is an intriguing 3-4 outside linebacker option because he's strong at the point of attack and will hold up well against the run-oriented AFC North.
6. Cincinnati Bengals
	Andre Smith, OT, Alabama: Just because this might not be the smartest of choices, this could be the pick. Mocks aren't necessarily about what should happen, but what could happen. The Bengals have shown interest in Smith of late. He could start on the right side and shift to the left if Levi Jones leaves following this season.
7. Oakland Raiders
	Michael Crabtree, WR, Texas Tech: Even with the re-signing of Javon Walker, Oakland needs to take a receiver early. With none being better than Crabtree, the team should take him if he happens to fall. Johnnie Lee Higgins led all wide receivers with 22 receptions last season and the development of JaMarcus Russell is dependent on having a top option.
8. Jacksonville Jaguars
	B.J. Raji, DT, Boston College: Without Marcus Stroud last year, Jacksonville's run defense was clearly a notch below normal. Raji would give the Jaguars a player very similar is size and ability. Some may be worried by an alleged positive drug test at the combine, but it shouldn't be a worry.
9. Green Bay Packers
	Everette Brown, DE/OLB, Florida State: Transitioning to the 3-4, the Packers have no sure thing as an outside pass rusher. The team is hoping Aaron Kampman can move from end and Brady Poppinga becomes a better pass rusher, but neither is guaranteed. At Florida State, Brown showed an incredible first step, a good indicator of making a successful transition to linebacker.
10. San Francisco 49ers
	Mark Sanchez, QB, Southern California: The 49ers strongly pursued Kurt Warner in free agency, so a quarterback seems necessary. He would give new head coach Mike Singletary a great building block for the offense. A linebacker could be an option, but this seems a little early for Brian Cushing or Clay Matthews III.
11. Buffalo Bills
	Aaron Maybin, DE/OLB, Penn State: The Bills had a group of coaches and scouts at the Penn State pro day. The Bills were 28th in sacks in 2008, and lead pass rusher Aaron Schobel is regressing. Buffalo also really needs a tight end to compliment an improving offense, but this is far too early for one.
12. Denver Broncos
	Brian Cushing, OLB, Southern California: Another team switching to the 3-4 in need of a good rush linebacker, Denver is currently relying on the oft-injured Boss Bailey and Elvis Dumervil, a player unproven on the outside. From time-to-time Cushing played a hybrid end/linebacker role at USC and could thrive in a 3-4.
13. Washington Redskins
	Michael Oher, OT, Ole Miss: Oher isn't as highly regarded as Smith and Monroe these days, and that's baffling. He has all the skills to be a top tackle. Oher could start on the right, replacing Jon Jansen and eventually replace Chris Samuel on the left side.
14. New Orleans Saints
	Clay Matthews III, OLB, Southern California: With the signing of Jabari Greer, the Saints no longer need to look at a cornerback in the draft. While Jonathan Vilma and Dan Morgan will be back, the team could us an upgrade to Scott Shanle. Matthews has been the star of the offseason and has worked his way this high up the draft.
15. Houston Texans
	Malcolm Jenkins, CB, Ohio State: Dunta Robinson is one of the best-kept secrets in the league because teams never throw in his direction. By adding Jenkins, the Texans would finally have a great second cornerback who can match up nicely against bigger receivers.
16. San Diego Chargers
	Rey Maualuga, MLB, Southern California: Current stater Matt Wilhelm has been only a liability for the Chargers. In San Diego's defensive scheme, Maualuga would have every opportunity to become a star. Imagine him lining up next to Shawne Merriman. Scary.
17. New York Jets
	Jeremy Maclin, WR, Missouri: Following the release of Laveranues Coles the Jets will need another weapon on offense. Maclin can immediately start on the outside and become a top asset on special teams. The Jets could also target Mark Sanchez here if he happens to fall. This is too early Josh Freeman.
18. Denver Broncos
	Tyson Jackson, DE, LSU: If the Broncos didn't think Kyle Orton could be the team's starting quaterback, they wouldn't have had him thrown in the Jay Cutler trade. Jackson would give Denver another piece to easily transition to the 3-4.
19. Tampa Bay Buccaneers
	Percy Harvin, WR, Florida: The Buccaneers strongly pursued T.J. Houshmandzadeh and Devery Henderson, and signed neither. Because of that, and due to the fact that Sanchez is off the board, Tampa could use another wide receiver opposite Antonio Bryant.
20. Detroit Lions (from Dallas Cowboys)
	Peria Jerry, DT, Ole Miss: After trading Corey Redding to Seattle, Detroit would be wise to address the tackle position. Although the team needs to add a middle linebacker or defensive end, those positions are more plentiful in later rounds than tackle.
21. Philadelphia Eagles
	Knowshon Moreno, RB, Georgia: With some good tackles available in the second round, Philadelphia can finally take the compliment to Brian Westbrook the team has needed for years. This could also be Chris Wells since Moreno and Westbrook are fairly similar players.
22. Minnesota Vikings
	Eben Britton, OT, Arizona: Without a lot of needs outside of receiver and offensive tackle, the Vikings could have their pick of several good players here. Because a receiver can be found later, Britton would be an excellent choice. He's a natural for the right side where Ryan Cook has been inconsistent his entire career.
23. New England Patriots
	Larry English, DE/OLB, Northern Illinois: After trading Mike Vrabel, the Patriots clearly need an outside linebacker who can get after the ball, English's specialty. With three picks in the second round, New England has the luxury of waiting on drafting a cornerback and no longer needs a wide receiver following the signing of Greg Lewis.
24. Atlanta Falcons
	Brandon Pettigrew, TE, Oklahoma State: Quarterback Matt Ryan excelled in his rookie season, just imagine what he could do with a viable tight end option. Pettigrew is far and away the best tight end in the draft and is a good all-purpose player. He can block for Michael Turner and open up the middle of the field.
25. Miami Dolphins
	Vontae Davis, CB, Illinois: Now faced with the prospects of going against Terrell Owens and Randy Moss twice a year, the Dolphins will need a good, physical cornerback. Davis, who is also being looked at as a safety, would provide that, allowing Will Allen to be the second corner and Eric Green to cover the slot.
26. Baltimore Ravens
	Darrius Heyward-Bey, WR, Maryland: For years the Ravens have needed a field-stretching wide receiver, which is Hewayrd-Bey's specialty. He'll allow quarterback Joe Flacco to really unleash his incredible arm strength and take the burden off the other receivers who are better in the short game.
27. Indianapolis Colts
	Hakeem Nicks, WR, North Carolina: WIth Jerry being off the board and Marvin Harrison being released, Indianapolis' top need is wide receiver. Nicks would give Peyton Manning a sure-handed target who can immediately start on the outside allowing Anthony Gonzelz to stay in the slot.
28. Philadelphia Eagles (from Carolina Panthers)
	William Beatty, OT, Connecticut: The Eagles need help up front and Beatty is the best tackle left on the board. He's fleet-footed, which could help open up more outside runs or swing passes for Brian Westbrook.
29. New York Giants
	Kenny Britt, WR, Rutgers: Following the release of Plaxico Burress, the Giants will either have to trade for a receiver or draft one. Britt has excellent size and athleticism, which would minimalize Burress' departure.
30. Tennessee Titans
	Evander Hood, DT, Missouri: No team was probably more upset with the release of Burress than Tennessee. Given this scenario, no other receiver is a worth a first-round pick. Hood, a gap-shooting tackle, would help lessen the loss of Albert Haynesworth.
31. Arizona Cardinals
	Chris Wells, RB, Ohio State: With Edgerrin James begging to be released and Tim Hightower not looking like a true lead back, Arizona gets an incredible steal with Wells. He may not fall quite this far, but he would be quite the pickup for the Cardinals.
32. Pittsburgh Steelers
	Alex Mack, C, California: The Steelers need help on the interior of their offensive line and Mack is a perfect fit. He's a rugged in-line blocker who can hold up against the large AFC North defensive tackles. Plug him in 12 years and watch him become a star.

In my initial (and official) site mock, I intended to wait until after the Combine to do a new draft.

However, I thought I'd try my hand at a scramble mock. What exactly is a scramble mock? That is where you just take the draft order, don't look at team needs, transactions or player rankings and fill it out by first reaction. It took maybe 10 minutes to do.

Because of the uneducated nature of this mock, I didn't include explanations, links to reports or a fancy look. That will come, with a second round thrown in, following the Combine.

I encourage you all to tear this thing apart, or offer a scramble of your own.
