2010 Mock
Draft
By:
Chris Horwedel
6/ 24/09
First Round:
|
1. St. Louis Rams
- Sam Bradford (QB) Oklahoma |
- A
no-brainer for the Rams here as Marc Bulger is
one fo the most overrated QBs in the league.
Bradford could post huge numbers in the Rams
offense.
|
 |
|
2.
Detroit Lions - Bryan Bulaga (OT) Iowa |
-
Bulaga is a player who we expect to really see his
stock rise this season. If everything goes
well he could wind up being a top three pick.
|
 |
|
3.
Miami Dolphins - Dez Bryant (WR) Oklahoma State |
|
-
This is another clear cut pick as the Dolphins
haven't had a wide receiver with this much talent in
the last decade. Bryant looks very similar to
L. Fitzgerald. |
 |
|
4.
San Francisco 49ers - Jevan Sneed (QB) Mississippi |
|
-
It's exciting that we're talking about a quarterback
class where Jevan Snead isn't even the top prospect.
He's got mobility, moxie and a big arm. |
 |
|
5.
Cincinnati Bengals - Taylor Mays (S) USC |
|
-
Mays looks to be the top senior defensive
prospect available for the 2010 draft by a
decent margin. He's a huge safety who
can really cover. |
 |
|
6.
Oakland Raiders - Eric Berry (S) Tennessee |
|
-
Eric Berry just screams Raiders pick. He's the
type of defender that made the team so feared in the
90's. Berry's going to be a very good one. |
 |
|
7. Kansas
City Chiefs - Carlos Dunlap (DE) Florida |
|
-
Dunlap is the type of defensive end prospect
that the Gators manage to keep churning out.
He's huge, strong and extremely quick. |
 |
|
8. Atlanta
Falcons - Terrence Cody (DT) Alabama |
|
-
Mount Cody will probably never post huge numbers in
the NFL, but his presence alone instantly makes
everyone else on the line considerably better. |
 |
|
9.
Arizona Cardinals - Jermaine Gresham (TE) Oklahoma |
|
-
Greshan would have probably been the first tight end
picked had he come out this season. He's a smooth
athlete who catches the ball like a receiver. |
 |
|
10. Houston Texans -
Arrelious Benn (WR) Illinois |
-
Pairing Benn with Andre Johnson is a scary thought for
opposing defensive coordinators. He's a strong
receiver who's a YAC machine.
|
 |
|
11.
Green Bay Packers - Brandon Spikes (MLB) Florida |
|
-
It's a testament to how strong this class is that a
player as good as Brandon Spikes doesn't sneak into
the top 10. |
 |
|
12.
Tampa Bay Buccaneers - Jonathan Dwyer (RB) Georgia Yech |
|
-
You can't help but think of Jamal Lewis when you watch
Dwyer run the football. He's big, strong and a
breakaway threat. |
 |
|
13.
Tennessee Titans - Ndamukong Suh (DT)
Nebraska |
|
-
The loss of Albert Haynesworth leaves the
Titans with a huge hole in the middle of the
defense. Suh can come in and help
right away. |
 |
|
14. New York Jets
- Russell Okung (OT) Oklahoma State |
|
-
We
fully expect Mark Sanchez to go through growing
backs, but they'll be made all the more manageable
by adding the talented Okung. |
 |
|
15.
Denver Broncos (From Chicago)
- Joe Haden (CB) Florida |
|
-
Former wide receiver turned shutdown cornerback,
Haden's ball skills and natural instincts are what
set him apart for the other corners in this class. |
 |
|
16. Washington
Redskins - Ciron Black (OT) LSU |
|
-
Offensive tackle doesn't project as one of the team's
major needs, but it would be hard for them to pass on
Black here. |
 |
|
17. Minnesota
Vikings -
Sean Weatherspoon (OLB) Missouri |
|
-
There aren't enough O's in the word smooth to
explain the way Sean plays the game. He's a do
everything linebacker who'll play in a handful of
Pro Bowls. |
 |
|
18.
Jacksonville Jaguars -
Colt McCoy (QB) Texas |
|
-
Well... here we are. Colt is to talented
to leave on the board much longer.
We've never thought Garrard was anything more
than serviceable. |
 |
|
19.
New York Giants - Rob Gronkowski (TE)
Arizona |
|
-
Alright, so it turns out that Kevin Boss
was a bigger step down from Shockey than
expected. This pick will settle
the TE situation in New York. |
 |
|
20.
New Orleans Saints - Gerald McCoy (DT) Oklahoma |
|
-
The knock on McCoy has never been his talent, it's
been his consistency. If he finally puts
things together, him being here at 20 is pretty
laughable. |
 |
|
21.
Indianapolis Colts - George Selvie (DE) South
Florida |
|
-
Selvie is the exact type of defensive end that
the Colts love. He's average against the
run but has the ability to get into the
backfield at will. |
 |
|
22. Dallas Cowboys - Trevard
Lindley (CB) Kentucky |
|
-
It seems like every season the
Cowboys bring in a talented
cornerback and then the next
off-season they're still looking for
that guy. |
 |
|
23. Pittsburgh
Steelers -
Navorro
Bowman (OLB) Penn State |
|
-
He's had problems off the field, but when you just
look at on-field production, Bowman's outstanding.
He could be the next great Steeler linebacker. |
 |
|
24. Philadelphia
Eagles - Tim Tebow (QB) Florida |
|
-
We know two things about Philly: 1) The like
to have replacements in place for older starters.
2) They seem to have really taken a liking to Tim
Tebow. |
 |
|
25. Seattle
Seahawks (From Denver) - Damian Williams (WR) USC |
|
-
Admittedly, wide receiver isn't a huge need for the
team, but TJ's declining YPC scares us a little.
Williams is to good to pass up. |
 |
|
26. Buffalo Bills
- Trent Williams (OT) Oklahoma |
|
-
Williams took a huge step up after moving from
offensive guard to offensive tackle. He's a
guy who could really help out this offense. |
 |
|
27. Baltimore
Ravens - Sergio Kindle (LB) Texas |
|
-
Here's another pick that seems to make to much
sense for it not to happen. Kindle looks
like a perfect fit for the Ravens 3-4 attacking
defense. |
 |
|
28. Cleveland Browns - Martez Wilson (OLB)
Illinois |
-
During his freshman season Wilson looked like he
would become an elite level player, then he took a
step back as a sophomore. We're not worried.
|
 |
|
29. Seattle
Seahawks - C.J. Spiller (RB) Clemson |
|
-
Spiller reminds a lot of people of Felix Jones as a
prospect. As things would work out he ends up
going right around the same spot as Jones did. |
 |
|
30. New England
Patriots - Rodney Hudson (OG) Florida State |
|
-
Hudson is the clear-cut top offensive guard
prospects in this class, but OG's simply don't
go early. The Pats get a guy who will be
a star for a long time |
 |
|
31.
San Francisco 49ers (From Carolina)-
Brandon Lang (DE) Troy |
|
-
The similarities between Lang and his fellow Troy
alum DeMarcus Ware are scary. Adding a player
like that on the outside would be awfully tempting. |
 |
|
32. San Diego Chargers -
Morgan Burnett (S) Georgia Tech |
|
-
Burnett is simply to good to stay on the board
past the first round. Safety may not be
the biggest need here, but he's an outstanding
talent. |
