NFL Mock Draft

Version 1.9
Updated  3/13/10
Round One 1-16 | Round One 17-32 | Round Two

#1
Sam Bradford, QB, Oklahoma
Nobody wants to pay a first overall pick. With that, someone trading into the first spot is unlikely. The closer we get to the draft the more love you will see for the possible franchise QBs. It does not appear that the QB position is going to be able to be addressed in Free Agency. Unless a trade for a QB is worked out the Rams will convince themselves to take Bradford as long as everything continues to appear he is becoming more NFL ready up until draft day. He already packed on some NFL like pounds to his tall and lanky frame.

#2
N.Suh, DT, Nebraska
Whether the Rams go QB or not with the first pick the Lions will be able to get one of the stud Defensive Tackles here. In this case Suh falls and the Lions are happy to snatch him up. With the signing of Kyle Vanden Bosch and bringing in Corey Williams, the Lions will all of a sudden match up on the D-Line in the NFC North.

#3
Gerald McCoy, DT, Oklahoma
The Bucs are involved in the trade up to #1 rumors so they can land Suh. Many have McCoy and Suh on the same playing field, some even with McCoy higher. The best thing that can happen for the Bucs is that the Rams go QB. McCoy is figured to be the better pass rusher of the two top DTs.

#4
Russell Okung, OT, Oklahoma St.
There is a new Sheriff in town but that does not have to mean a new QB this high. It’s time for the Redskins to get younger on the Offensive Line to protect whoever lines up behind them. There is a chance that the Skins go QB here or even trade up for Sam Bradford, but it appears that they may be willing to give Jason Campbell a shot.

#5
Eric Berry, S, Tennessee
In previous mocks we had the Chiefs going Offensive Tackle. That was before Eric Berry landed in their lap. Berry fills a need position and he would be able to contribute right away. It is still possible to see a tackle go here. There is a lot of talk about Bryan Bulaga from Iowa because of the connection between Kirk Ferentz and Scott Pioli

#6
Bryan Buluga, OT,Iowa
Although they need to think about QB the one they currently have is going to be the best QB in the Division. They also need to consider getting a fresh Left Tackle and Bulaga fits the Zone Blocking they will use. For some teams Bulaga may seem a little bit of a reach here but he isn’t when he fits the system so well. It could be a gamble to go another position and then hope a guy that fits falls.

#7
Joe Haden, CB, Florida
Sure, it could be a QB here. There is a feeling though that Quinn will get a chance with the Big Show in town. So you thinking about that less than par showing at the Combine? Haden still fits their need for a shutdown corner and is still the top CB as of now. With all the hubub at QB recently it isn’t too far fetched to maybe see a one here.

#8
Trent Williams, OT, Oklahoma
We have been saying since Mock #1 that by April this can be a name that lights up at the Combine. It’s actually kind of funny that after last years reach for Heyward-Bey and some questionable moves in recent years, mockers are jumping on the Raiders going for Bruce Campbell…who would fit both the OT and Workout Warrior need. We are not going to make that leap yet.

#9
Jimmy Clausen, QB, Notre Dame
Yet another new beginning. The Bills find themselves in a similar situation as the Redskins. New Coach, need at QB and OT. The teams ahead of Buffalo will make the decision easier for them by who is left available on the board. If  Clausen is rated higher than the 4th best tackle they will pull the trigger. They also are talking a switch to 3-4 which makes for some needs on Defense as well.

#10
Rolando McClain, LB, Alabama
Despite the signing of Aaron Kampman we could still see the Jaguars go for a pass rusher here. Doing so would be admitting that the two high picks used a couple years ago were a bust. Not doing so makes it ironic that they used two high picks, moving up for one of them, two years ago and this year pass on a talent like Derrick Morgan. Looking elsewhere the Jags need help at Linebacker too and the best on the board is McClain. He makes an immediate impact and can move.

#11
Dez Bryant, WR, Oklahoma St.
(From Chicago) Looks like Brandon Marshall may be gone soon, making WR a big need for the Broncos. If McClain fell they would have a tough decision to make. Dez Bryant is still the best option here. Because of his suspension he is looked at as the next Diva WR by many. The talent still cannot be ignored. Plus, it is always better to draft your own Diva instead of inheriting one, right?

#12
Dan Williams, NT, Tennessee
Dan Williams makes the biggest jump here in this mock. The addition of Karlos Dansby takes care of that ILB need that we had McClain filling before (though he is gone now anyway). Jason Ferguson is facing an eight game suspension and isn’t getting any younger anyway. Of course there is the WR issue…maybe if Bryant fell but it isn’t looking promising that the Dolphins would use this pick on a WR otherwise.

#13
Anthony Davis, OT, Rutgers
The Niners had a shot at taking an OT last season but grabbed Michael Crabtree instead. Davis has been falling this week due to character issues and could free fall past this spot. He failed to show up at his Pro Day…kind of a turn off if you are a scout that was making a point to see him.

#14
C.J. Spiller,RB, Clemson
(From Denver) Spiller can add an instant home run threat to the Seahawks on offense and returns. They could really use a Defensive End too and could look at Jason Pierre-Paul or Derrick Morgan here.

#15
Jason Pierre-Paul,OLB/DE,South Florida
The ideal pick would be Rolando McClain but he is gone. This pick could be in various places on defense and we know how they cherish their pass rush. They could use Pierre-Paul similar to how rivals Washington use Brian Orakpo. Keep an eye out on Missouri LB Sean Weatherspoon. He is moving up boards and could play the inside as well. Could make a very interesting pick up.

#16
Derrick Morgan, DE, Georgia Tech
Kyle Vanden Boch is gone and it is time to get younger on that Defensive Line. Morgan would be hard to pass up if he were to fall this far. Cornerback and Outside Linebacker are needs that have to be addressed as well.
