I do not do this for any reason other than it helps me to learn about the prospects in the coming draft and quite honestly it makes the offseason and build up for the draft an absolute blast. Come draft day, its much more fun knowing a little about these guys. Guys around here could do a much better job but its more fun creating a mock draft then reading them. So here it is and I think I am going to keep updating it continuously as April nears.
So here it is:
1.1 - Rams - Ndomkung Suh - Rams just cannot pass on the best player in the draft and a position of need. Adding Suh to a Dline of Long, Ryan, and Carriker gives them a real position of strength.
1.2 - Lions - Russell Okung OT - Detroit has a franchise WR, Franchise TE, Franchise QB. They cant use them if they cant protect Staffords Blindside. Okung is a safe pick at this point in the draft. I dont think you can ever really go wrong by getting a franchise LT.
1.3 - Bucs - Gerald McCoy *DECLARED* - the closest player to warren sapp since warren sapp. Great player - pass rusher from the interior and a potential future star in the league.
1.4 - Redskins - Jimmy Claussen - QB *DECLARED* - The future of the franchise will go thru this kid. All the tools in the world, the draft unfolds perfectly for the Redskins. Claussen and Orakpo - I think Snyder is starting to understand how valuble those 1st round picks are.
1.5 - Chiefs - Eric Berry S *DECLARED* - If the comparisons to Ed Reed hold true in the NFL, the Chiefs have got themselves one of the best players to come out of this draft.
1.6 - Seahawks - Bruce Campbell *DECLARED* - Seahawks have missed on selecting a franchise LT so many times recently that I think when Campbell is there at 1.6, they scoop him up. The best thing for this team right now - as I dont think they are that far away from the playoffs - is a pillar somewhere on the offensive line.
1.7 - Browns - Dez Bryant WR *DECLARED* - Sure thing at WR, should become a #1 WR. This allows Massaquai to develop into a wonderful #2 with Stuckey and Robiskie filling in great as backup WRs. Cribbs continues to work as a Wildcat option lining up in even more places in 2010.
1.8 - Oakland Raiders - Rolando McClain LB *DECLARED*- - Raiders run Defense needs some help and Rolando McClain on the dtrong side of the 4-3 defense would be the quickest fix available. It has been awhile, but finally Al Davis makes a great pick.
1.9 - Bills - Derrick Morgan DE * DECLARED * The best DE in the draft on most peoples boards, Morgan should be able to help the Bills significantly. The Bills have a team full of needs, but getting a pass rusher oppostite Schobel cannot be ignored and probably cant be address with such an impact player late.
1.10 - Denver Broncos - Dan Williams - NT - Denver is desperate for an anchor on the DLINE and they dont come much better than Dan Williams. With Bruce Campbell off the board, Denver makes the best pick for their team in Dan Williams. Thank you cards are in the mail from DJ Williams, Elvis Dumervil, and Robert Ayers.
1.11 - Jacksonville Jags - Jason Pierre-Paul *DECLARED* - This guy will fly up the draft board, because he is goign to amaze people at workouts. Pierre-Paul may very well be the best athlete at the DE position in this draft, and workout #s will open eyebrows. Winning cures attendance woes. Even if you have Tim Tebow, if you are a losing team, the bandaid will only be temporary. Pierre - Paul fills the biggest position of need for the Jags who should really go back to their 4-3 allignment full time after making this move.
1.12 - Miami Dolphins - Damian Williams WR - Enough of waiting for Ginn. A Very Polished Damian Williams gives the dolphins a #1 Wr so that Ginn can do what he does best and concentrate on big plays. The dolphins have the pieces offensively to be in the playoffs if they just had that #1 WR. I feel very confident that Damian Williams has all the tools of the #1 WRs in the league, if not the superstar #1s.
1.13 - San Francisco - Anthony Davis OT *DECLARED* - a Cog at RT for the next 10 years, Davis is a smart pick at an unquestioned position of need.
1.14 - Seattle - Sam Bradford QB *DECLARED* - Having addressed OT early in the draft this opens the door for Seattle to address their pass rush. But Sam Bradford was not expected to be here at this point in the draft. Sam Bradford has really impressive accuracy and will be able to spend a year or 2 learning from Hass. With a New Staff for Seattle, usually a new franchise QB is quick to follow.
1.15 - New York Giants - Trent Williams OT - Giants need to build that offensive line back up as it appears to have aged a ton since their last run to the superbowl. Williams can play tackle or guard and will be helping to clear the roads in New York.
1.16 - Tennessee Titans - Joe Haden CB*DECLARED* - There is no way that Joe Haden should be allowed to slip this far in the draft, but in this mock he does and the titans are quick to scoop up the best CB in the 2010 draft. Haden will really solidify the Titans coverage oppostite Cortland Finnegan and will be able to make an immediate impact. While Haden has undeniable talent, CBs just dont go much higher.
1.17 - San Francisco - Terrance Cody - NT - Cody is going to be a brick wall in front of Patrick Willis. It is exciting to think about what Willis might do with the big fella keepign blockers off him.
1.18 - Pittsburgh Steelers - Taylor Mays S - Taylor Mays is taylor made for playing with Troy Polamalu. Every bit the athlete that Polamalu is, Mays should learn everything he can from TP and if i was an opposing WR, I would truly be fearful when my route calls for me to come over the middle.
1.19 - Atlanta Falcons - Greg Hardy DE - John Abraham is nearing the end of the road. Hardy seems to be a legitimate DE who can play the Run equally as well as rush the passer and is the type of all around player an up and coming team like Atlanta needs.
1.20 - Houston Texans - Carlos Dunlap DE *DECLARED* - Dunlap will stay motivated by the player playing opposite him in Mario Williams. I think Dunlap is far too talented to slip out of the first round and I do not think there are any better situations than this. Mario needs help getting the double teams off and Dunlap is the only guy available at this point who can do that.
1.21 - NY Jets - Brandon LaFell WR - Doesnt matter if the Jets are able to resign Braylon Edwards. The Bread and Butter of this team is to run the ball and play defense, but with that gameplan and a young quarterback, having more weapons to pick up the 1st downs on 3rd and 6 are what they need. Braylon is going to want alot of money so I am thinking the Jets let him go and bring in a real #1 WR to team up with Jerrico and Keller.
1.22 - Baltimore Ravens - Donovan Warren CB *DECLARED*- Baltimore needs a CB severly and Warren is a great one.
1.23 - Green Bay Packers - Earl Thomas FS - Atari Bigby needs to be removed from this team. Always overrated and very rarely in position, this guy causes more problems then he cures. I dont think Earl Thomas enters the draft without a committment to the first round.
1.24 - New England Patriots - CJ Spiller RB - Towards the end of the season it seemed like NE has lost some of their offensive explosiveness. Spiller might be the most explosive player in this draft. Spiller should be very effective in New England and will give the Pats another dynamic playmaker.
1.25 - Philadelphia Eagles - Corey Wootton DE - Wootton is thought by many to be the best DE in this years draft. Ideal size, he struggled with injuries much of this season and still capped 10 sacks. Eagles might be getting a steal here.
1.26 - Arizona Cardinals - Ras I Dowling CB - I think the Cards will like Dowlings size and competitiveness. Still tons of room for improvement, which is very exciting. Might be able to swing between CB and S, which seems to be versitility that Arizona likes.
1.27 - Cincinatti Bengals - Mardy Gilyard WR - Chad Johnson isnt getting any younger. Lav Coles has proven to be more or less a bust, and the future at the position looks somewhat weak. The Bengals have a supreme talent at QB and without a weapon oppostite Ocho Cinco, its going to waste. Gilyard is a guy who should be able to create seperation from corner backs and provide Palmer with another dynamic weapon as well as help out in the return game. A Local star, Gilyard will be a favorite of the fans.
1.28 - Dallas Cowboys - Everson Griffin OLB *DECLARED* - Great pass rusher off the edge, Griffin could be a real monster opposite Demarcus Ware.
1.29 - Minnesota Vikings - Bryan Bulaga OT *DECLARED* - Colt McCoy will be an option here, but I think Minnesota will give Tavaris Jackson a shot to be the future at the position. The fact that they kept Jackson and Rosenfels all season long to me speaks volumes about his future with the franchise. Instead, they draft one of the better OT in this draft from a school that is known to produce good offensive lineman.
1.30 - San Diego Chargers - Jonathan Dwyer RB *DECLARED* - Finally SD goes big with their effort in trying to replace LT. Sporles is a role player, LT is done. Dwyer should be a guy who can carry the load for the Chargers for the next few years.
1.31 - New Orleans Saints - Mike Iupati OG - Best guard in the draft for a team without any huge holes, Iupati will come in and compete for a starting job and worst case increase the depth of the saints offensive line.
1.32 - Indianapolis Colts -Charles Brown OT - Colts draft plan is likely to take the best player available and put the pieces of the puzzle together afterwords. No way brown should slip this far but he is the best player available currently....by far.
ROUND 2
1. St. Louis (1-15) - Demaryius Thomas WR *DECLARED* - Drafted in this position on talent alone. Maybe the most physically gifted WR in this class, Thomas could develop into a Calvin Johnson Type WR. If he runs a fast # in workouts, he should fly up in this draft.
2. Detroit (2-14) - Brian Price DT *DECLARED* - Detroit needs to build uop the run defense and Price would be a really good for for this team as the type of all around 10 year starter that this team needs.
3. Tampa Bay (3-13) - Perish Cox CB - Tampa has alot of holes and CB is one of them. Cox has elite measureables but recent character concerns will cause him to slip out of the first round.
4. Kansas City (4-12) - Golden Tate WR *DECLARED* - With Weis in KC now, having a player opposite Dwayne Bowe will be a key. Weis is more familiar with Tate than anyone else and I am sure he will get one of his pieces to work with. There will be a learning curve for KC Wrs and Tate might be able to step right in and perform.
5. Washington (4-12) - Jered Odrick DE - Redskins are going to be going to a 3-4 defense and most likely means that they need a few pieces. Haynesworth and Odrick on the ouside of the 3-4 alignment could make for a few pieces of a pretty special run defense.
6. Cleveland (5-11) - Jermaine Grishem TE - I believe that Holmgren has always really valued the TE position for a QB. I think back to all of his teams and if Holmgren was successful, he had a good TE. Grishem is the best of the bunch by a LONG SHOT and adds a great piece to the team for Brady Quinn. There really cannot be any more excuses for him now, with a solid Oline, solid RB, and lots of talent trying to catch the ball.
7. Oakland (5-11) - Colt McCoy QB - This is the pick that will drive Jamarcus out of town once and for all. McCoy is a great QB who has played in some really high pressure situations and on the biggest of stages. I have never heard anything negetive about him and his teammates all love him. This is the type of QB Oakland needs to make it to the playoffs in 2010.
8. Seattle (5-11) - Ryan Matthews RB *DECLARED* - Seattle has done very well for themselves in this draft, having acquired a franchise LT, Franchise QB, and Franchise RB. Matthews does everything very good and could put up the best rookie #s in this years draft.
9. Buffalo (6-10) - Tim Tebow QB - Tim Tebow is going to bring the fans in by the masses. I dont know if Buffalo will remain in buffalo much longer and having a face of the franchise like Tebow can only improve the teams value. Even if it is not about the money for Buffalo, I see alot of Steve Young in Tebow.
10. Tampa Bay - from Chicago^ (7-9) - Jahvid Best RB *DECLARED* - Tampa improves their defense by selecting a top DL in round 1 and a premier coverage corner at the top of round 2. Here 2 they look to help out their franchise QB by drafting a safety valve and big play threat. Tampa lacks that player who is lightning in a bottle - the home run hitter. Best makes them complete.
11. Miami (7-9) - Jerry Hughes OLB - Drafting of Hughes will allow the Dolphins to let Jason Taylor ride off into the sunset, move Joey Porter back to the other side, and thru this series of moves, will improve the Dolphins pass rush quite a bit.
12. New England - from Jacksonville^ (7-9) - Allen Bailey DE - Bailey fits in nicely as a 3-4 DE, and the Patriots look to once again resume building depth on their team these next few rounds.
13. Denver (8-8) - Brandon Spikes ILB -Denver will continue to fill out their 3-4 defense here in this draft, and now their Linebacker Corps are complete. Denver, meet your linebackers for the next 5 years - Robert Ayers, DJ Williams, Brandon Spikes and Elvis Dumervil.
14. New York Giants (8-8) - Kyle Wilson CB - Giants need help in the secondary and a Senior CB like Kyle WIlson should be ready to step in and help right away. Wilson can also contribute in the return game should the Giants want to replace Hixon on kick returns...or remove him from the roster entirely.
15. New England - from Tennessee^ (8-8) - Brandon Graham OLB - Possible First Round Talent, New England would ease him into the rotation as a situational pass rusher until he learns to drop back into coverage.
16. Carolina^ (8-8) - Eric Decker WR -Eric Decker makes an excellent possession WR who will be similar to Wes Welker. Decker wont eventually replace Steve Smith but he should be an effective weapon working opposite him.
17. San Francisco (8-8) - Dominique Franks CB *DECLARED* - good measurables, good coverage skills, good ball skills should make a solid corner in the NFL.
18. Kansas City - from Atlanta^ (9-7) - Sergio Kindle OLB - Kindle runs with a non stop motor and gives Romeo Crennel a fierce pass rusher and solid OLB overall to work with.
19. Houston^ (9-7) - Toby Gerhart RB *DECLARED* - Gerhart is going to push Slaton for everything he has got. This guys character will more than make up for what their first round pick is lacking(Dunlap). Gerhart will be able to pound teh ball between the tackles which is what the team really seems to lack right now on offense.
20. Pittsburgh (9-7) - Vladimir Ducasse OG - Can play at a few spots on the OL and Pittsburgh is desperate for a guy like this.
21. Baltimore* (9-7) - Syd'Quan Thompson CB - Dispite the fact that Baltimore took Donovan Warren in round 1, they stil need more help in round 2. Frank Walker should be roster fodder, not a starting CB. I think that Syd'Quan Thompson is a true shutdown CB whos stock is going to rise as the draft nears. With Webb, Warren, and Thompson, CB looks like it has become a position of strength on this roster.
22. New York Jets* (9-7) - Patrick Robinson CB - I have a hard time imagining how great this defense could be if they have a reallly good cornerback working opposite Revis. I think that Robinson is that guy
23. Arizona* (10-6) - John Jerry - OG - Kurt Warner wont play forever and for the Cards to ever change their identity they are going to have to be able to establish the power rushing attack. John Jerry is perhaps the best run blocker in this draft and the wide load should be able to pave the road for Beanie Wells to find daylight.
24. Green Bay* (11-5) - Javier Arenas CB - Al Harris might never return to being the CB we have known for so many years after his knee injury at 34. Tramon Williams seems like a future starter at the position and Charles Woodson is clearly at the top of his game. When you get past Tramon Williams though, guys like Bush and Ford just are not good enough to get it done at a championship level. I think Arenas is going to make a very great CB sometime, he is still very raw. When he is ready, Woodson will be able to finish his career for the Packers at Safety. Arenas also makes for one of the better return men around.
25. New England* (10-6) - Jason Fox OT - NE continues to look at building depth in the trenches.
26. Cincinnati* (10-6) - Sean Weatherspoon OLB - I think his stock might be slipping after the poor bowl game vs Air Force and his small stature. Cincinatti will be glad to have him, and this will allow the transition of Rey Malaluga to MLB to start to be more than just a thought. Weatherspoon, Rivers and Malaluga, with Dhani Jones leadership will make for a dominating defense.
27. Dallas* (11-5) - Jeremy Williams WR - Roy Williams will likely not be around next year which means the Cowboys will haev to address the WR position. Williams might start out in the slot and eventually take over oppostite Miles Austin.
28. Philadelphia* (11-5) - Brandon Ghee CB - Philly could use some DB Depth.
29. Minnesota* (12-4) Ricky Sapp DE - Minnesota would be drafting Sapp to play DE oppostite Jered Allen. Ray Edwards is servicable but Ricky Sapp could be great at that position.
30. San Diego* (13-3) - Jon Asamoah OG - The power running game in San Diego seems to have left the building which is why finesse guys like Sporles have so much success outside of the tackles. I think San Diego needs a mauler and Asamoah fits the bill.
31. New Orleans* (13-3) - Darrell Stuckey S -Sharper will not play forever and Stuckey can hopefully help soften that blow.
32. Indianapolis* (14-2) - Trevard Lindley CB - Teams have to throw to keep up with the INDY offense, so the Colts draft the best cornerback available here to help combat opposing QBs.
ROUND 3
1. St. Louis (1-15) - Dan LeFevour QB - This guy can play football. Good Arm strength, good accuracy, good footwork and he has some wheels. He has thrown the ball an absolute ton thru his 4 seasons at Central Michigan. He seems to be seasoned and have ice water in his veins. I put LeFevour right up there with Sam Bradford and Colt McCoy as far as being ready to run a team as a rookie. His arm strength might not ever be mistaken with Jamarcus Russells, but how far did that get him?
2. Detroit (2-14) - Evan Royster RB - Detroit should look at a powerful Running back to backup Kevin Smith and perhaps take the goalline carries.
3. Tampa Bay (3-13) - Austen Lane DE - A Division II prospect who has been compared to Justin Tuck, a pass rusher like Lane would be a gift for the Bucs to team up with McCoy. a very raw who has not had a supreme level of competition is the only reason he slips this far.
4. Kansas City (4-12) - Gabe Carimi OT - Someone to either push Brandon Albert to the next level or to push him inside.
5. Oakland (5-11) - Demario Alexander WR - Athletic freak who can jump out of the gym. Should be a great red zone target and should be the type of player Al Davis Likes. Best part about the pick is he could really help the Raiders.
6. Philadelphia - from Seattle (5-11) - Charles Scott RB - With Westbrook at the end of the line, and McCoy more of a finesse back, the Eagles would look at Scott to pound the ball in from the goaline.
7. Cleveland (5-11) - Eric Norwood OLB - after going offense with the first 2 picks, Cleveland has to concentrate on Defense and that will start with a pass rusher opposite Wimbley.
8. Buffalo (6-10) - Ciron Black OT - They are really establishing some talented guys in the offensive trench. The winning should not be far behind. Levitre should be able to move inside.
9. Miami (7-9) - Montario Hardesty RB - The Rickey and Ronnie show will soon be over and Hardesty is a really solid RB who I can picture carrying the load for a team.
10. Jacksonville^ (7-9) - Aaron Hernandez TE - They missed out on Tebow but getting Hernandez in round 3 is a nice consolation prize.
11. Chicago^ (7-9) - Mike Johnson OG - Probably the top offensive line prospect at this point, Johnson shoudl eb able to play a few different positions on the line and help the ground game immediately.
12. New York Giants (8-8) - Reshad Jones S *DECLARED* - Giants need to address the safety position. Kenny Phillips might or might not be back. Aaron Rouse is roster fodder. Jones should be ready to step into the starting role in 2010.
13. Tennessee^ (8-8) - Jordan Shipley WR - great college production - might be able to help the Titans move the ball downfield and remove some pressure from Kenny Britt.
14. Carolina^ (8-8) - Dennis Pitta TE - There is no WR who can really help the Panthers at this point, and there is no QB who is worth drafting right now. For this reason I think Carolina drafts Pitta in an effort to have some receiving weapons besides Smith and Decker. Pitta will be a great target over the middle for whomever is the QB.
15. San Francisco (8-8) - Arthur Jones DE - Going to push Balmer or take his spot.
16. Denver (8-8) - Mike Neil DE - Another piece to the 3-4 Mike Neil is too good of a player to pass on.
17. Houston^ (9-7) - Nate Allen FS - Texans need a Playmaker at FS and I think Nate Allen is that guy.
18. Pittsburgh (9-7) - Sergio Render OG - More help for their franchise QB and Franchise RB.
19. Atlanta^ (9-7) - Navarro Bowman OLB - *DECLARED*
20. Cleveland - from New York Jets* (9-7) - Tyson Alualu DE - Corey Williams will either be replaced or pushed by this pick. Shawn Rodgers deserves some help and his talent is going to waste without it.
21. Baltimore* (9-7) Daryl Washington ILB - Someone needs to be groomed to take over for Ray Lewis. Washington seems to be a LB who is a good leader and does everything you could want.
22. Green Bay* (11-5) - Selvish Capers OT - Capers is said to be a great fit for a zone blocking scheme and is quite the athlete. Excellent fit for Green bay where both starting tackles are very long in the tooth.
23. Arizona* (10-6) -Jevan Snead QB - Snead had a bad year but in the end he has the tools to be considered a high reward project. He would surely push Matt Leinart should Warner decide to retire, and should warner return, Az could finally cut Leinarts big cap #.
24. Cincinnati* (10-6) - Amari Spievey Cb - Bengals have some good starting corners but the depth is very thin after that.
25. Oakland - from New England* (10-6) - Dexter McCluster RB Mississippi - His stock is going to rise as the draft gets closer and people make comparisions to Christ Johnson. I see McCluster as a guy who can have a Percy Harvin like impact - while lining up all over the field cause major formation/personal problems for the defense.
26. Philadelphia* (11-5) - Joe Pawelek ILB Non Stop motor, Philly had to trade for a MLB Last season, but Witherspoon can play the outside too. Pawelek makes philly a much stronger run defense if they can find a way to get him on the field.
27. Dallas* (11-5) - Llmarr Johnson DT - Generates a ton of pressure and I think that he might translate to a pretty good 3-4 DE.
28. Minnesota* (12-4) Sean Lee ILB - EJ Henderson has another huge injury and nobody can be sure if he will be back, or even back to form. Minnesota has a small window (assuming Brett returns) and need to protect themselves the MLB position.
29. San Diego* (13-3) - Desmon Briscoe WR - Very raw prospect who probably shouldnt have come out. A very good team will draft him and let him ease his way into the rotation while helping out on Special Teams.
30. New Orleans* (13-3) - Anthony Dixon RB - No chance in my mind that reggie Bush comes back at 8 million per season so a running back will be targeted in this draft. A guy like Dixon can do it all and will be able to help the team in a RB rotation right away.
31. Indianapolis* (14-2) - Tony Pike QB - Pike will have a ton of time to be groomed as a potential successor to Peyton Manning. At worst, he becomes one of the better backup QBs in the league.

So here it is:
1.1 - Rams - Ndomkung Suh - Rams just cannot pass on the best player in the draft and a position of need. Adding Suh to a Dline of Long, Ryan, and Carriker gives them a real position of strength.
1.2 - Lions - Russell Okung OT - Detroit has a franchise WR, Franchise TE, Franchise QB. They cant use them if they cant protect Staffords Blindside. Okung is a safe pick at this point in the draft. I dont think you can ever really go wrong by getting a franchise LT.
1.3 - Bucs - Gerald McCoy *DECLARED* - the closest player to warren sapp since warren sapp. Great player - pass rusher from the interior and a potential future star in the league.
1.4 - Redskins - Jimmy Claussen - QB *DECLARED* - The future of the franchise will go thru this kid. All the tools in the world, the draft unfolds perfectly for the Redskins. Claussen and Orakpo - I think Snyder is starting to understand how valuble those 1st round picks are.
1.5 - Chiefs - Eric Berry S *DECLARED* - If the comparisons to Ed Reed hold true in the NFL, the Chiefs have got themselves one of the best players to come out of this draft.
1.6 - Seahawks - Bruce Campbell *DECLARED* - Seahawks have missed on selecting a franchise LT so many times recently that I think when Campbell is there at 1.6, they scoop him up. The best thing for this team right now - as I dont think they are that far away from the playoffs - is a pillar somewhere on the offensive line.

1.8 - Oakland Raiders - Rolando McClain LB *DECLARED*- - Raiders run Defense needs some help and Rolando McClain on the dtrong side of the 4-3 defense would be the quickest fix available. It has been awhile, but finally Al Davis makes a great pick.
1.9 - Bills - Derrick Morgan DE * DECLARED * The best DE in the draft on most peoples boards, Morgan should be able to help the Bills significantly. The Bills have a team full of needs, but getting a pass rusher oppostite Schobel cannot be ignored and probably cant be address with such an impact player late.
1.10 - Denver Broncos - Dan Williams - NT - Denver is desperate for an anchor on the DLINE and they dont come much better than Dan Williams. With Bruce Campbell off the board, Denver makes the best pick for their team in Dan Williams. Thank you cards are in the mail from DJ Williams, Elvis Dumervil, and Robert Ayers.
1.11 - Jacksonville Jags - Jason Pierre-Paul *DECLARED* - This guy will fly up the draft board, because he is goign to amaze people at workouts. Pierre-Paul may very well be the best athlete at the DE position in this draft, and workout #s will open eyebrows. Winning cures attendance woes. Even if you have Tim Tebow, if you are a losing team, the bandaid will only be temporary. Pierre - Paul fills the biggest position of need for the Jags who should really go back to their 4-3 allignment full time after making this move.
1.12 - Miami Dolphins - Damian Williams WR - Enough of waiting for Ginn. A Very Polished Damian Williams gives the dolphins a #1 Wr so that Ginn can do what he does best and concentrate on big plays. The dolphins have the pieces offensively to be in the playoffs if they just had that #1 WR. I feel very confident that Damian Williams has all the tools of the #1 WRs in the league, if not the superstar #1s.
1.13 - San Francisco - Anthony Davis OT *DECLARED* - a Cog at RT for the next 10 years, Davis is a smart pick at an unquestioned position of need.
1.14 - Seattle - Sam Bradford QB *DECLARED* - Having addressed OT early in the draft this opens the door for Seattle to address their pass rush. But Sam Bradford was not expected to be here at this point in the draft. Sam Bradford has really impressive accuracy and will be able to spend a year or 2 learning from Hass. With a New Staff for Seattle, usually a new franchise QB is quick to follow.
1.15 - New York Giants - Trent Williams OT - Giants need to build that offensive line back up as it appears to have aged a ton since their last run to the superbowl. Williams can play tackle or guard and will be helping to clear the roads in New York.
1.16 - Tennessee Titans - Joe Haden CB*DECLARED* - There is no way that Joe Haden should be allowed to slip this far in the draft, but in this mock he does and the titans are quick to scoop up the best CB in the 2010 draft. Haden will really solidify the Titans coverage oppostite Cortland Finnegan and will be able to make an immediate impact. While Haden has undeniable talent, CBs just dont go much higher.
1.17 - San Francisco - Terrance Cody - NT - Cody is going to be a brick wall in front of Patrick Willis. It is exciting to think about what Willis might do with the big fella keepign blockers off him.
1.18 - Pittsburgh Steelers - Taylor Mays S - Taylor Mays is taylor made for playing with Troy Polamalu. Every bit the athlete that Polamalu is, Mays should learn everything he can from TP and if i was an opposing WR, I would truly be fearful when my route calls for me to come over the middle.
1.19 - Atlanta Falcons - Greg Hardy DE - John Abraham is nearing the end of the road. Hardy seems to be a legitimate DE who can play the Run equally as well as rush the passer and is the type of all around player an up and coming team like Atlanta needs.
1.20 - Houston Texans - Carlos Dunlap DE *DECLARED* - Dunlap will stay motivated by the player playing opposite him in Mario Williams. I think Dunlap is far too talented to slip out of the first round and I do not think there are any better situations than this. Mario needs help getting the double teams off and Dunlap is the only guy available at this point who can do that.
1.21 - NY Jets - Brandon LaFell WR - Doesnt matter if the Jets are able to resign Braylon Edwards. The Bread and Butter of this team is to run the ball and play defense, but with that gameplan and a young quarterback, having more weapons to pick up the 1st downs on 3rd and 6 are what they need. Braylon is going to want alot of money so I am thinking the Jets let him go and bring in a real #1 WR to team up with Jerrico and Keller.
1.22 - Baltimore Ravens - Donovan Warren CB *DECLARED*- Baltimore needs a CB severly and Warren is a great one.
1.23 - Green Bay Packers - Earl Thomas FS - Atari Bigby needs to be removed from this team. Always overrated and very rarely in position, this guy causes more problems then he cures. I dont think Earl Thomas enters the draft without a committment to the first round.
1.24 - New England Patriots - CJ Spiller RB - Towards the end of the season it seemed like NE has lost some of their offensive explosiveness. Spiller might be the most explosive player in this draft. Spiller should be very effective in New England and will give the Pats another dynamic playmaker.
1.25 - Philadelphia Eagles - Corey Wootton DE - Wootton is thought by many to be the best DE in this years draft. Ideal size, he struggled with injuries much of this season and still capped 10 sacks. Eagles might be getting a steal here.
1.26 - Arizona Cardinals - Ras I Dowling CB - I think the Cards will like Dowlings size and competitiveness. Still tons of room for improvement, which is very exciting. Might be able to swing between CB and S, which seems to be versitility that Arizona likes.
1.27 - Cincinatti Bengals - Mardy Gilyard WR - Chad Johnson isnt getting any younger. Lav Coles has proven to be more or less a bust, and the future at the position looks somewhat weak. The Bengals have a supreme talent at QB and without a weapon oppostite Ocho Cinco, its going to waste. Gilyard is a guy who should be able to create seperation from corner backs and provide Palmer with another dynamic weapon as well as help out in the return game. A Local star, Gilyard will be a favorite of the fans.
1.28 - Dallas Cowboys - Everson Griffin OLB *DECLARED* - Great pass rusher off the edge, Griffin could be a real monster opposite Demarcus Ware.
1.29 - Minnesota Vikings - Bryan Bulaga OT *DECLARED* - Colt McCoy will be an option here, but I think Minnesota will give Tavaris Jackson a shot to be the future at the position. The fact that they kept Jackson and Rosenfels all season long to me speaks volumes about his future with the franchise. Instead, they draft one of the better OT in this draft from a school that is known to produce good offensive lineman.
1.30 - San Diego Chargers - Jonathan Dwyer RB *DECLARED* - Finally SD goes big with their effort in trying to replace LT. Sporles is a role player, LT is done. Dwyer should be a guy who can carry the load for the Chargers for the next few years.
1.31 - New Orleans Saints - Mike Iupati OG - Best guard in the draft for a team without any huge holes, Iupati will come in and compete for a starting job and worst case increase the depth of the saints offensive line.
1.32 - Indianapolis Colts -Charles Brown OT - Colts draft plan is likely to take the best player available and put the pieces of the puzzle together afterwords. No way brown should slip this far but he is the best player available currently....by far.
ROUND 2
1. St. Louis (1-15) - Demaryius Thomas WR *DECLARED* - Drafted in this position on talent alone. Maybe the most physically gifted WR in this class, Thomas could develop into a Calvin Johnson Type WR. If he runs a fast # in workouts, he should fly up in this draft.
2. Detroit (2-14) - Brian Price DT *DECLARED* - Detroit needs to build uop the run defense and Price would be a really good for for this team as the type of all around 10 year starter that this team needs.
3. Tampa Bay (3-13) - Perish Cox CB - Tampa has alot of holes and CB is one of them. Cox has elite measureables but recent character concerns will cause him to slip out of the first round.
4. Kansas City (4-12) - Golden Tate WR *DECLARED* - With Weis in KC now, having a player opposite Dwayne Bowe will be a key. Weis is more familiar with Tate than anyone else and I am sure he will get one of his pieces to work with. There will be a learning curve for KC Wrs and Tate might be able to step right in and perform.
5. Washington (4-12) - Jered Odrick DE - Redskins are going to be going to a 3-4 defense and most likely means that they need a few pieces. Haynesworth and Odrick on the ouside of the 3-4 alignment could make for a few pieces of a pretty special run defense.
6. Cleveland (5-11) - Jermaine Grishem TE - I believe that Holmgren has always really valued the TE position for a QB. I think back to all of his teams and if Holmgren was successful, he had a good TE. Grishem is the best of the bunch by a LONG SHOT and adds a great piece to the team for Brady Quinn. There really cannot be any more excuses for him now, with a solid Oline, solid RB, and lots of talent trying to catch the ball.
7. Oakland (5-11) - Colt McCoy QB - This is the pick that will drive Jamarcus out of town once and for all. McCoy is a great QB who has played in some really high pressure situations and on the biggest of stages. I have never heard anything negetive about him and his teammates all love him. This is the type of QB Oakland needs to make it to the playoffs in 2010.
8. Seattle (5-11) - Ryan Matthews RB *DECLARED* - Seattle has done very well for themselves in this draft, having acquired a franchise LT, Franchise QB, and Franchise RB. Matthews does everything very good and could put up the best rookie #s in this years draft.
9. Buffalo (6-10) - Tim Tebow QB - Tim Tebow is going to bring the fans in by the masses. I dont know if Buffalo will remain in buffalo much longer and having a face of the franchise like Tebow can only improve the teams value. Even if it is not about the money for Buffalo, I see alot of Steve Young in Tebow.
10. Tampa Bay - from Chicago^ (7-9) - Jahvid Best RB *DECLARED* - Tampa improves their defense by selecting a top DL in round 1 and a premier coverage corner at the top of round 2. Here 2 they look to help out their franchise QB by drafting a safety valve and big play threat. Tampa lacks that player who is lightning in a bottle - the home run hitter. Best makes them complete.
11. Miami (7-9) - Jerry Hughes OLB - Drafting of Hughes will allow the Dolphins to let Jason Taylor ride off into the sunset, move Joey Porter back to the other side, and thru this series of moves, will improve the Dolphins pass rush quite a bit.
12. New England - from Jacksonville^ (7-9) - Allen Bailey DE - Bailey fits in nicely as a 3-4 DE, and the Patriots look to once again resume building depth on their team these next few rounds.
13. Denver (8-8) - Brandon Spikes ILB -Denver will continue to fill out their 3-4 defense here in this draft, and now their Linebacker Corps are complete. Denver, meet your linebackers for the next 5 years - Robert Ayers, DJ Williams, Brandon Spikes and Elvis Dumervil.
14. New York Giants (8-8) - Kyle Wilson CB - Giants need help in the secondary and a Senior CB like Kyle WIlson should be ready to step in and help right away. Wilson can also contribute in the return game should the Giants want to replace Hixon on kick returns...or remove him from the roster entirely.
15. New England - from Tennessee^ (8-8) - Brandon Graham OLB - Possible First Round Talent, New England would ease him into the rotation as a situational pass rusher until he learns to drop back into coverage.
16. Carolina^ (8-8) - Eric Decker WR -Eric Decker makes an excellent possession WR who will be similar to Wes Welker. Decker wont eventually replace Steve Smith but he should be an effective weapon working opposite him.
17. San Francisco (8-8) - Dominique Franks CB *DECLARED* - good measurables, good coverage skills, good ball skills should make a solid corner in the NFL.
18. Kansas City - from Atlanta^ (9-7) - Sergio Kindle OLB - Kindle runs with a non stop motor and gives Romeo Crennel a fierce pass rusher and solid OLB overall to work with.
19. Houston^ (9-7) - Toby Gerhart RB *DECLARED* - Gerhart is going to push Slaton for everything he has got. This guys character will more than make up for what their first round pick is lacking(Dunlap). Gerhart will be able to pound teh ball between the tackles which is what the team really seems to lack right now on offense.
20. Pittsburgh (9-7) - Vladimir Ducasse OG - Can play at a few spots on the OL and Pittsburgh is desperate for a guy like this.
21. Baltimore* (9-7) - Syd'Quan Thompson CB - Dispite the fact that Baltimore took Donovan Warren in round 1, they stil need more help in round 2. Frank Walker should be roster fodder, not a starting CB. I think that Syd'Quan Thompson is a true shutdown CB whos stock is going to rise as the draft nears. With Webb, Warren, and Thompson, CB looks like it has become a position of strength on this roster.
22. New York Jets* (9-7) - Patrick Robinson CB - I have a hard time imagining how great this defense could be if they have a reallly good cornerback working opposite Revis. I think that Robinson is that guy
23. Arizona* (10-6) - John Jerry - OG - Kurt Warner wont play forever and for the Cards to ever change their identity they are going to have to be able to establish the power rushing attack. John Jerry is perhaps the best run blocker in this draft and the wide load should be able to pave the road for Beanie Wells to find daylight.
24. Green Bay* (11-5) - Javier Arenas CB - Al Harris might never return to being the CB we have known for so many years after his knee injury at 34. Tramon Williams seems like a future starter at the position and Charles Woodson is clearly at the top of his game. When you get past Tramon Williams though, guys like Bush and Ford just are not good enough to get it done at a championship level. I think Arenas is going to make a very great CB sometime, he is still very raw. When he is ready, Woodson will be able to finish his career for the Packers at Safety. Arenas also makes for one of the better return men around.
25. New England* (10-6) - Jason Fox OT - NE continues to look at building depth in the trenches.
26. Cincinnati* (10-6) - Sean Weatherspoon OLB - I think his stock might be slipping after the poor bowl game vs Air Force and his small stature. Cincinatti will be glad to have him, and this will allow the transition of Rey Malaluga to MLB to start to be more than just a thought. Weatherspoon, Rivers and Malaluga, with Dhani Jones leadership will make for a dominating defense.
27. Dallas* (11-5) - Jeremy Williams WR - Roy Williams will likely not be around next year which means the Cowboys will haev to address the WR position. Williams might start out in the slot and eventually take over oppostite Miles Austin.
28. Philadelphia* (11-5) - Brandon Ghee CB - Philly could use some DB Depth.
29. Minnesota* (12-4) Ricky Sapp DE - Minnesota would be drafting Sapp to play DE oppostite Jered Allen. Ray Edwards is servicable but Ricky Sapp could be great at that position.
30. San Diego* (13-3) - Jon Asamoah OG - The power running game in San Diego seems to have left the building which is why finesse guys like Sporles have so much success outside of the tackles. I think San Diego needs a mauler and Asamoah fits the bill.
31. New Orleans* (13-3) - Darrell Stuckey S -Sharper will not play forever and Stuckey can hopefully help soften that blow.
32. Indianapolis* (14-2) - Trevard Lindley CB - Teams have to throw to keep up with the INDY offense, so the Colts draft the best cornerback available here to help combat opposing QBs.
ROUND 3
1. St. Louis (1-15) - Dan LeFevour QB - This guy can play football. Good Arm strength, good accuracy, good footwork and he has some wheels. He has thrown the ball an absolute ton thru his 4 seasons at Central Michigan. He seems to be seasoned and have ice water in his veins. I put LeFevour right up there with Sam Bradford and Colt McCoy as far as being ready to run a team as a rookie. His arm strength might not ever be mistaken with Jamarcus Russells, but how far did that get him?
2. Detroit (2-14) - Evan Royster RB - Detroit should look at a powerful Running back to backup Kevin Smith and perhaps take the goalline carries.
3. Tampa Bay (3-13) - Austen Lane DE - A Division II prospect who has been compared to Justin Tuck, a pass rusher like Lane would be a gift for the Bucs to team up with McCoy. a very raw who has not had a supreme level of competition is the only reason he slips this far.
4. Kansas City (4-12) - Gabe Carimi OT - Someone to either push Brandon Albert to the next level or to push him inside.
5. Oakland (5-11) - Demario Alexander WR - Athletic freak who can jump out of the gym. Should be a great red zone target and should be the type of player Al Davis Likes. Best part about the pick is he could really help the Raiders.
6. Philadelphia - from Seattle (5-11) - Charles Scott RB - With Westbrook at the end of the line, and McCoy more of a finesse back, the Eagles would look at Scott to pound the ball in from the goaline.
7. Cleveland (5-11) - Eric Norwood OLB - after going offense with the first 2 picks, Cleveland has to concentrate on Defense and that will start with a pass rusher opposite Wimbley.
8. Buffalo (6-10) - Ciron Black OT - They are really establishing some talented guys in the offensive trench. The winning should not be far behind. Levitre should be able to move inside.
9. Miami (7-9) - Montario Hardesty RB - The Rickey and Ronnie show will soon be over and Hardesty is a really solid RB who I can picture carrying the load for a team.
10. Jacksonville^ (7-9) - Aaron Hernandez TE - They missed out on Tebow but getting Hernandez in round 3 is a nice consolation prize.
11. Chicago^ (7-9) - Mike Johnson OG - Probably the top offensive line prospect at this point, Johnson shoudl eb able to play a few different positions on the line and help the ground game immediately.
12. New York Giants (8-8) - Reshad Jones S *DECLARED* - Giants need to address the safety position. Kenny Phillips might or might not be back. Aaron Rouse is roster fodder. Jones should be ready to step into the starting role in 2010.
13. Tennessee^ (8-8) - Jordan Shipley WR - great college production - might be able to help the Titans move the ball downfield and remove some pressure from Kenny Britt.
14. Carolina^ (8-8) - Dennis Pitta TE - There is no WR who can really help the Panthers at this point, and there is no QB who is worth drafting right now. For this reason I think Carolina drafts Pitta in an effort to have some receiving weapons besides Smith and Decker. Pitta will be a great target over the middle for whomever is the QB.
15. San Francisco (8-8) - Arthur Jones DE - Going to push Balmer or take his spot.
16. Denver (8-8) - Mike Neil DE - Another piece to the 3-4 Mike Neil is too good of a player to pass on.
17. Houston^ (9-7) - Nate Allen FS - Texans need a Playmaker at FS and I think Nate Allen is that guy.
18. Pittsburgh (9-7) - Sergio Render OG - More help for their franchise QB and Franchise RB.
19. Atlanta^ (9-7) - Navarro Bowman OLB - *DECLARED*
20. Cleveland - from New York Jets* (9-7) - Tyson Alualu DE - Corey Williams will either be replaced or pushed by this pick. Shawn Rodgers deserves some help and his talent is going to waste without it.
21. Baltimore* (9-7) Daryl Washington ILB - Someone needs to be groomed to take over for Ray Lewis. Washington seems to be a LB who is a good leader and does everything you could want.
22. Green Bay* (11-5) - Selvish Capers OT - Capers is said to be a great fit for a zone blocking scheme and is quite the athlete. Excellent fit for Green bay where both starting tackles are very long in the tooth.
23. Arizona* (10-6) -Jevan Snead QB - Snead had a bad year but in the end he has the tools to be considered a high reward project. He would surely push Matt Leinart should Warner decide to retire, and should warner return, Az could finally cut Leinarts big cap #.
24. Cincinnati* (10-6) - Amari Spievey Cb - Bengals have some good starting corners but the depth is very thin after that.
25. Oakland - from New England* (10-6) - Dexter McCluster RB Mississippi - His stock is going to rise as the draft gets closer and people make comparisions to Christ Johnson. I see McCluster as a guy who can have a Percy Harvin like impact - while lining up all over the field cause major formation/personal problems for the defense.
26. Philadelphia* (11-5) - Joe Pawelek ILB Non Stop motor, Philly had to trade for a MLB Last season, but Witherspoon can play the outside too. Pawelek makes philly a much stronger run defense if they can find a way to get him on the field.
27. Dallas* (11-5) - Llmarr Johnson DT - Generates a ton of pressure and I think that he might translate to a pretty good 3-4 DE.
28. Minnesota* (12-4) Sean Lee ILB - EJ Henderson has another huge injury and nobody can be sure if he will be back, or even back to form. Minnesota has a small window (assuming Brett returns) and need to protect themselves the MLB position.
29. San Diego* (13-3) - Desmon Briscoe WR - Very raw prospect who probably shouldnt have come out. A very good team will draft him and let him ease his way into the rotation while helping out on Special Teams.
30. New Orleans* (13-3) - Anthony Dixon RB - No chance in my mind that reggie Bush comes back at 8 million per season so a running back will be targeted in this draft. A guy like Dixon can do it all and will be able to help the team in a RB rotation right away.
31. Indianapolis* (14-2) - Tony Pike QB - Pike will have a ton of time to be groomed as a potential successor to Peyton Manning. At worst, he becomes one of the better backup QBs in the league.

Great early effort. Speaking strictly from a Lion's fan perspective, I highly doubt they'd pass on McCoy in favor of a OL. That's not not a knock on Okung, it's more or less the Lions desperate need to play defense. They simply will never compete until they begin to stop the opposition upfront.The Lion's OL is far from good, but it did improve. I think this position is better left to a later pick or even a high choice next year.
