*Order based on currrent draft order

1. http://assets.espn.go.com/i/teamlogos/nfl/sml/trans/ten.gif - Jake Locker, QB Washington
- It was either Locker or Suh/McCoy here, but Kerry Collins is a relic and Vince Young is a bust. They really need a QB and the Titans aren't in this position often. Jake Locker has all the physical tools you could possibly want and Tennessee is an organization that can develop him effectively. They have a great offensive line and a fantastic running game. Locker should be able to contribute almost right out of the gate.
2. http://assets.espn.go.com/i/teamlogos/nfl/sml/trans/stl.gif - Jimmy Clausen, QB Notre Dame
- They have Stephen Jackson, they have Donnie Avery, and they just took Jason Smith last year. The missing piece is quarterback and Jimmy Clausen would be an excellent fit with the Rams.
3. http://assets.espn.go.com/i/teamlogos/nfl/sml/trans/tam.gif - Ndamukong Suh, DT Nebraska
- The Tampa defense has been bad and their DLine is horrible. Gaines Adams may have been their best defensive lineman and the Bucs dealt him to Chicago.
4. http://assets.espn.go.com/i/teamlogos/nfl/sml/trans/kc.gif - Dez Bryant, WR Oklahoma State
- The Chiefs have Dwayne Bowe and...? They have Matt Cassell. Dez Bryant should be a fantastic complement to Bowe. Their coach is an offensive guy, so they go with his strength.
5. http://assets.espn.go.com/i/teamlogos/nfl/sml/trans/cle.gif - Eric Berry, SS Tennessee
- The Browns need talent, period and Eric Berry is arguably the best player available, fills a huge need, and fits the profile of Mangini/Kokinis player as well as Rob Ryan's defense.
6. http://assets.espn.go.com/i/teamlogos/nfl/sml/trans/det.gif - Gerald McCoy, DT Oklahoma
- Jim Schwartz is a defensive guy, desperately needs playmakers on defense, and McCoy might just be the best player in the whole draft. Yes, they need tackle help, but McCoy is just too good. Still cannot believe they passed on Oher.
7. http://assets.espn.go.com/i/teamlogos/nfl/sml/trans/sea.gif - Russell Okung, OT Oklahoma State
- The talk last year was that Seattle needed a tackle to be the heir apparent for Walter Jones. Now, Jones is hurt and so is Hassleback. Coincidence?
8. http://assets.espn.go.com/i/teamlogos/nfl/sml/trans/buf.gif - Bryan Bulaga, OT Iowa
- The Bills have a young line that could get much better, but they do not have a true left tackle. Bulaga could be the final piece to what could be a great offensive line in a few years.
9. http://assets.espn.go.com/i/teamlogos/nfl/sml/trans/was.gif- Sam Bradford, QB Oklahoma
- The Redskins really need a tackle, but they also need a QB and have an owner who would rather be the March/April champions than the Superbowl Champions.
10. http://assets.espn.go.com/i/teamlogos/nfl/sml/trans/oak.gif - Carlos Dunlap, DE Florida
- I actually had Greg Hardy here originally, but I just can't see Al Davis passing on Dunlap's physical tools. If they can get the light to go on, Dunlap and Seymour will wreack havok on the division, but I personally do not think Dunlap belongs in the Top 10.
11. http://assets.espn.go.com/i/teamlogos/nfl/sml/trans/sd.gif - Rolando McClain, ILB Alabama
- Every time I watch the Chargers, I see a soft football team. Not only does McClain bring toughness inside, he brings badly needed leadership too, which they also need.
12. http://assets.espn.go.com/i/teamlogos/nfl/sml/trans/mia.gif - Terrance Cody, DT Alabama
- The Dolphins need a young, starting caliber nose tackle.
13. http://assets.espn.go.com/i/teamlogos/nfl/sml/trans/sf.gif - (F/CAR) Joe Haden, CB Florida
- Nate Clements is great, but in a division filled with receivers, they need more than that.
14. http://assets.espn.go.com/i/teamlogos/nfl/sml/trans/jac.gif - Greg Hardy, DE/OLB Ole Miss
- Jacksonville's 3-4 needs pass rushers and seem to love SEC pass rushers to boot.
15. http://assets.espn.go.com/i/teamlogos/nfl/sml/trans/hou.gif - Arthur Jones, DT Syracuse
- The quest for a legitimate DTackle continues
16. http://assets.espn.go.com/i/teamlogos/nfl/sml/trans/nyj.gif - Marvin Austin, DL North Carolina
- Austin should fit perfectly at end in Ryan's defense.
17. http://assets.espn.go.com/i/teamlogos/nfl/sml/trans/bal.gif - Taylor Mays, FS USC
- The Ravens defense is not what it has been and Newsome loves to take the Best Player Available
18. http://assets.espn.go.com/i/teamlogos/nfl/sml/trans/ari.gif - Trent Williams, OT Oklahoma
- Their offensive line needs help. Kurt Warner has been battered.
19. http://assets.espn.go.com/i/teamlogos/nfl/sml/trans/sf.gif - Anthony Davis, OT Rutgers
- San Francisco needs help up front and Davis is a physical blocker Singletary should love.
20. http://assets.espn.go.com/i/teamlogos/nfl/sml/trans/gb.gif - Jahvid Best, RB Cal
- They have no running game. The Packers desperately need help along the offensive line, but Best should be able to take pressure off of their pass protection as well as Aaron Rodgers. Plus, the Packers love to run the screen and he's about as good as it gets in the open field.
21. http://assets.espn.go.com/i/teamlogos/nfl/sml/trans/den.gif- (F/CHI) Brandon Spikes, ILB Florida
- Spikes is a good fit inside in the 3-4; Andra Davis is not a long term solution.
22. http://assets.espn.go.com/i/teamlogos/nfl/sml/trans/dal.gif - Arrelious Benn, WR Illinois
- Dallas continues to add WRs when quarterback is the real problem
23. http://assets.espn.go.com/i/teamlogos/nfl/sml/trans/phi.gif - Sean Witherspoon, OLB Missouri
- I think Witherspoon gives the Eagles a guy who can play at any of the LB spots in their defense.
24. http://assets.espn.go.com/i/teamlogos/nfl/sml/trans/pit.gif - CJ Spiller, RB Clemson
- Pittsburgh really needs to help their offensive line, but instead teams Mendenhall with Spiller, ending the Parker tenure in Pittsburgh
25. http://assets.espn.go.com/i/teamlogos/nfl/sml/trans/cin.gif - Patrick Robinson, CB Florida State
- The Bengals face Joe Flacco, Ben Roethlisberger, and... (sigh) Derek Anderson. They need to get better in the secondary
26. http://assets.espn.go.com/i/teamlogos/nfl/sml/trans/nwe.gif - Jerry Hughes, DE/OLB TCU
- Whether they are in the 4-3 or 3-4, Jerry Hughes gives them a dynamic pass rusher the Patriots desperately need.
27. http://assets.espn.go.com/i/teamlogos/nfl/sml/trans/atl.gif - Brandon Graham, DE Michigan
- I already know what's coming. I believe Graham can play the power end spot. He's done it and looked good doing it (See Notre Dame game where he went against Sam Young). His strength is not being questioned.
28. http://assets.espn.go.com/i/teamlogos/nfl/sml/trans/nyg.gif - Jared Odrick, DT Penn State
- Some good DTackles are getting up there in age and Odrick gives them badly needed youth and talent inside.
29. http://assets.espn.go.com/i/teamlogos/nfl/sml/trans/no.gif - Sergio Kindle, OLB Texas
- The Saints need linebacker help and while some may assume Kindle would be a better fit in the 3-4, I believe he can be effective in the 4-3 and would give their defense some versatility when it comes to rushing the passer. Kindle has insane athleticism which should allow him to be effective against the pass and stopping the run
30. http://assets.espn.go.com/i/teamlogos/nfl/sml/trans/ind.gif - Charles Brown, OT USC
- The Colts OLine could use some help and Charles Brown profiles extremely well for their system
31. http://assets.espn.go.com/i/teamlogos/nfl/sml/trans/min.gif - Jonathan Dwyer, RB Georgia Tech
- This may come as a surprise for some, but the Vikings are drafting for now and Peterson and Dwyer give them a dynamic combination. Dwyer gives them a little more power. If I'm not mistaken, Chester Taylor will be a free agent and they may just let him walk, instead going with a younger, better compliment to Peterson.
32. http://assets.espn.go.com/i/teamlogos/nfl/sml/trans/sea.gif- (F/DEN) Nate Allen, FS South Florida
- Their safeties are mediocre at best.

I don't love Marvin Austin as I think he's somewhat overrated right now, but the position obviously works and his general style is probably a good fit so I see where you're coming from.

I tend to agree he's overrated, but he looked good against FSU

At this moment in time, I still don't think you can give the Titans a QB just yet. VY has yet to have his moment to prove himself this season, and they have lots of money tied to him. If he starts and still shows that he can't handle it, then we can start looking in that direction (God I hope he shows something cause we can't afford to draft a QB right now). I still think even if he doesn't do too good, we won't draft a QB. At this moment, Give us the manimal called Ndamukong Suh

I think TE will ultimately be the pick for the Bengals. Apparently they offered a lot to try to get Martellus Bennett

I agree that a RB becomes a need for the Vikings when/if Taylor leaves, but I think we can get a complementary back later than the first round.

Solid Chiefs pick that could very well happen but I find it really really hard think we'd pass on Eric Berry if he were available. We do need OL and we need a playmaker at WR but he looks like he is too good to pass over.

Rosebud

10-24-2009, 02:06 AM

Would rather see a SS like Reshad Jones or Nate Allen since worst case scenario we'll still have Canty, Alford and Bernard at DT, at SS we're forced to start Michael Johnson out of position even though he's a god awful run stuffer because CC Brown is turrible. I would like to see a DT drafted in the first two rounds, but SS is just a bigger need, and if we go DT I like Oghobaase more than Odrick.

I never realized how much the O line prospects suck this year after the top 3.

RaiderNation

10-24-2009, 02:33 AM

If I were the GM Id go Hardy, Jones, Austin or Davis before Dunlap. Austin could fit Al's type of prospect since he has good measurables

Rosebud

10-24-2009, 02:42 AM

I never realized how much the O line prospects suck this year after the top 3.

Top 4 if davis and bulaga come out, also think Tennant gets a little under-rated on here as a center prospect, he's no mack or mangold, but he is worthy of going early second round.

vikes_28

10-24-2009, 02:53 AM

As yo said, I think that RB could be a need in a later round. I know they will not draft one in the first round however. I think Saftey and DT are bigger needs. I'd go with something like this for the top picks:

1: S or QB
2: DT
3: RB

Kindle has insane athleticism which should allow him to be effective against the pass and stopping the run

Kindle is just a to bad fit to take. He is not suited at all for a 4-3 olb (even skipping the fact that the bigger need is at wlb and not slb) and he is way undersized for a DE. Kindle wouldnt be a good fit in any 4-3 defense but he is an awfull fit for the type of scheme that Greg Williams runs.
Sorry dude, I know the value is there but I seriously dislike this pick

I was working on a mock but never finished it but I have Derrick Morgan going before Carlos Dunlap. I think with the two you're getting similar(not identical) size and athleticism but with Morgan you're getting better production at the college level.

1) taylor mays would be a great pick for the ravens, he would switch to strong safety thou, he's better suited there anyways.

2) but no way he drops that far imho.

roscoesdad27

In the uncapped year, they can dump Vince Young with no salary cap ramifications.

There are 10 games left so Vince Young should get his shot, but I just don't see it happening with him.

They need to take advantage of this week off and implement some wildcat packages, similiar to miams but with a tad more passing, for him. Get him back into a comfort zone, then start giving him more conventional packages when/if he starts to succeed....you can pick up a pretty good q.b. in rounds 3 or 4 to compliment him and run some standard packages just in case the wildcat is working but the standard packages arent for vince. Someone like tim hiller or dan levavour for long yardage situations or change of pace type thing...YOU HAVE ONE OF THE MOST TALENTED RUNNING Q.B.'S IN THE HISTORY OF THIS LEAGUE, ROOKIE OF THE YEAR...DONT IGNORE THE SUCCESS MIAMI IS HAVING WITH THIS WILDCAT THING!...one things for certain, tim tebow will be watching VERY curiously.

roscoesdad27

10-24-2009, 06:46 AM

Getting a 3rd corner is definitely a need but I don't think round 1 is the place to do it. Would rather have Kindle. Gives Marvin the pass rushing strongside linebacker he's been trying to get for a while. Maualuga would slide inside.

Gresham is another option because the Bengal tight ends ******* suck

i agree that corner isnt a first round need but if i was you guys i'd leave rey stay at strongside linebacker, its more natural for his play style....now if you switch to the 3-4 then id move him inside to the ted position....i think gresham or vince ogobasse would be much better picks...no mlb worth taking here imho.

roscoesdad27

10-24-2009, 06:48 AM

I never realized how much the O line prospects suck this year after the top 3.

the top 3 are overrated except maybe davis....even thou there isnt much elite talent the position is pretty deep.

roscoesdad27

10-24-2009, 06:50 AM

Tennant gets a little under-rated on here as a center prospect, he's no mack or mangold, but he is worthy of going early second round.

do you realize how good this draft class is?...no center, not mangold nor mack would go early second in this class.

Sorry dude, I know the value is there but I seriously dislike this pick

kindle would be great at slb imho..but as you said wlb is a much bigger need...i'd take travis lewis there.

morgan is no where near the athelete that dunlap is....morgan is starting to become a bit overrated on this board.

Not a bad mock at all but please in the future give the team name. It is very annoying the way you did it.

Giving up on Chase Coffman right away?

As for the mock i dont like Mt Cody in round 1 to Miami but overrall very nice.

http://assets.espn.go.com/i/teamlogos/nfl/sml/trans/phi.gif - Sean Witherspoon, OLB Missouri
- I think Witherspoon gives the Eagles a guy who can play at any of the LB spots in their defense.

Love the pick.

It all depends on who comes out.

The Unseen

10-24-2009, 04:58 PM

TheUnseen approves. Derrick Harvey is disappointing big time. BUT I don't know if the franchise will go for it; maybe they don't feel like drafting more DEs and like him better than the fans do.

SuperKevin

10-24-2009, 08:18 PM

morgan is no where near the athelete that dunlap is....morgan is starting to become a bit overrated on this board.

And Dunlap is nowhere near as productive as Morgan so I don't get your point

Perfect Phins pick!!

Bengals78

10-25-2009, 02:43 AM

You were in the right ball park but Leon Hall and JJ are both really young and first rounders.

Safety is where we will go in the secondary if we do in the first.

I can't see the Chiefs taking Dez Bryant. He's missing a lot of much needed playing time and Pioli places a high priority on just that.
