Predicting the top 10 this year is a nightmare. Anyone looking for accuracy in their mocks is dreaming. The biggest problem is the quarterbacks. I don't really "hate" Cam Newton. I just hate that it's impossible to divine what teams think of him.So I thought I'd have a little fun with this one by starting off the top three picks in an unconventional fashion.So let's discuss. It's better than talking about the stupid labor dispute.
Second round to come later today.1. Carolina - Patrick PetersonIn a division with Ryan/White, Brees/Colston, Freeman/Williams, why not take the safest player that also potentially shuts down your opponents biggest threat?2. Denver - Cam Newton Kyle Orton is not the long term answer and Tim Tebow is not an NFL quarterback.3. Buffalo - Von Miller This should certainly fix the Maybin whiff.4. Cincinnati - Marcel DareusAfter getting some surprisingly solid play from their young DE's, this could shore up what was a disappointing 2010 defense.5. Arizona - Robert QuinnAlthough the QB play killed them they can't pass up the opportunity to select an elite rush prospect. Da'Quan Bowers wishes he was a 3-4 prospect.6. Cleveland - Da'Quan BowersSwitching to the 4-3, the Browns luck out that Bowers falls to them.7. San Francisco - A.J. GreenA still tepid offense could really get a jolt with a guy like Green - he might even make Smith respectable.8. Tennessee - Nick FairleyA better option than bringing back Haynesworth.9. Dallas - Tyron SmithCan play either side and provides a nice bookend to the only lineman they have that's worth anything in Doug Free.10. Washington - J.J. Watt 11. Houston - Prince Amukamara12. Minnesota - Julio Jones13. Detroit - Anthony Castonzo14. St. Louis - Cameron Jordan15. Miami - Mike Pouncey16. Jacksonville - Jake Locker17. New England (from Oakland) - Justin Houston18.
