| Mock Draft |
|
1)
|
|
Detroit Lions -
Matthew Stafford,
QB, Georgia
|
|
|
Culpepper isn't going to do very much to help the Lions rebuild their team. It starts here with Stafford. |
|
2)
|
|
St. Louis Rams -
Jason Smith,
OT, Baylor
|
|
|
The dominating tackle from Baylor will help fill the void of losing Pace. |
|
3)
|
|
Kansas City Chiefs -
Aaron Curry,
OLB, Wake Forest
|
|
|
They don't need a QB now that they have Cassel so they'll most likely try to work on the linebacker position, which is why they'll go after Curry. |
|
4)
|
|
Seattle Seahawks -
Eugene Monroe,
OT, Virginia
|
|
|
I would go with Crabtree here but since the Seahawks got T.J. they probably won't go after him. They need to fix their O-line since Hasselback is getting older and seems to be a little injury prone now. |
|
5)
|
|
Cleveland Browns -
Brian Orakpo,
DE, Texas
|
|
|
I was really tempted to put Crabtree here since Stallworth is in legal trouble and could be facing jail time. But Orakpo is a beast and would really help the Browns defense which looked pretty bad last year. |
|
6)
|
|
Cincinnati Bengals -
Andre Smith,
OT, Alabama
|
|
|
The Bengals need O-line help...IMMEDIATELY. Starting with Smith would be a big help. |
|
7)
|
|
Oakland Raiders -
Jeremy Maclin,
WR, Missouri
|
|
|
Crazy Al Davis will skip over Crabtree and grab this guy. |
|
8)
|
|
Jacksonville Jaguars -
Michael Crabtree,
WR, Texas Tech
|
|
|
Crabtree might drop this far in the draft because of his foot injury. The Jags need some help at WR now that Jones is gone. |
|
9)
|
|
Green Bay Packers -
Everette Brown,
DE, Florida St.
|
|
|
The Packers are switching to a 3-4 defense and they'll need a OLB to play in it opposite of Kampman. At 6'4, 252 lbs, he's a good fit for it. |
|
10)
|
|
San Francisco 49ers -
Mark Sanchez,
QB, USC
|
|
|
Mark Sanchez is a "good guy" type guy which probably attracts Singletary's attention. Not to mention the 49ers need a QB. |
|
11)
|
|
Buffalo Bills -
Aaron Maybin,
DE, Penn St.
|
|
|
The Bills were near the bottom of recorded sacks for last year so they need a pass rusher. They also need a TE but I don't see a TE that could go this high. |
|
12)
|
|
Denver Broncos -
B.J. Raji,
DT, Boston College
|
|
|
The Broncos are switching to the 3-4 with Mike Nolan so they'll need a DT like Raji, even though he's ranked higher than this..he might fall this far. |
|
13)
|
|
Washington Redskins -
Tyson Jackson,
DE, L.S.U.
|
|
|
Now that Taylor was cut, they need to fill his void by drafting Jackson. |
|
14)
|
|
New Orleans Saints -
Malcolm Jenkins,
CB, Ohio St.
|
|
|
What can we say about the Saints secondary last year? It looked pretty bad..Malcolm could fit in as a CB or a FS. |
|
15)
|
|
Houston Texans -
Brian Cushing,
OLB, USC
|
|
|
No Comments |
|
16)
|
|
San Diego Chargers -
Rey Maualuga,
ILB, USC
|
|
|
The Chargers could just pick the best player available here since they don't have that many holes to fill. They need a little help at inside linebacker and could pick a local player from USC, Maualuga. |
| |
|
17)
|
|
New York Jets -
Percy Harvin,
WR, Florida
|
|
|
The Jets upgraded their defense in free agency so now they need to address their offense. Coles is gone now so they could replace him with the Harvin. |
|
18)
|
|
Denver Broncos -
Darrius Heyward-Bey,
WR, Maryland
|
|
|

|
|
Tampa Bay Buccaneers -
Josh Freeman,
QB, Kansas St.
|
|
|
They just signed Leftwich but you can't really say that he's going to lead the Buccs to the Superbowl. Josh Freeman is a good QB that you could build a team around. |
|
20)
|
|
Detroit Lions -
Michael Oher,
OT, Ole Miss
|
|
|

|
21)
|
|
Philadelphia Eagles -
Brandon Pettigrew,
TE, Oklahoma St.
|
|
|
Now that L.J. Smith is gone (via free agency to Baltimore), the Eagles need to find a reasonable TE to play in their system. He's a good blocker and at time can make a great catch. |
|
22)
|
|
Minnesota Vikings -
Eben Britton,
OT, Arizona
|
|
|
The Vikings were looking to upgrade their right tackle position in free agency but were not able to sign anyone. Britton is a big guy that could be a good tackle in a couple of years. |
|
23)
|
|
New England Patriots -
Clint Sintim,
OLB, Virginia
|
|
|
Lets face it...the Patriots linebackers are just old..time to inject some youth into the mix. |
|
24)
|
|
Atlanta Falcons -
Larry English,
DE, Northern Illinois
|
|
|
The Falcons need a little help up front on the defense, even though John Abraham had the best year of his career. Jamal Anderson isn't getting it done. |
|
25)
|
|
Miami Dolphins -
Clay Matthews,
OLB, USC
|
|
|
The Dolphins need a wide receiver but you know Parcells is not taking one in the first round. Bill likes to build up his defense in the draft so it will begin with Clay Matthews. |
|
26)
|
|
Baltimore Ravens -
Vontae Davis,
CB, Illinois
|
|
|
The Ravens will need some help at cornerback now that Rolle was cut. Davis is projected to go a little higher than 26 but he could possibly fall this far down. |
|
27)
|
|
Indianapolis Colts -
Peria Jerry,
DT, Ole Miss
|
|
|
The Colts need a study to fit into the middle of their defensive line. They already got Mathis and Freeney on the ends and it would be great to have someone like them in the middle. |
|
28)
|
|
Buffalo Bills -
Chris Wells,
RB, Ohio St.
|
|
|
Buckhalter went to Denver in the offseason and they need a good backup guy for Westbrook. |
|
29)
|
|
New York Giants -
Hakeem Nicks,
WR, North Carolina
|
