My first three round mock

[FordFairlane]

1. Carolina (2-14) Cam Newton QB Auburn
He is a rare talent and the Panthers will not be able to pass on all that potential.

2. Denver (4-12) Marcell Dareus DT Alabama
Denver needs an interior lineman and after what Suh did last year DT will be hot this year.

3. Buffalo (4-12) Patrick Peterson CB LSU
Is on everyones top three and goes number three. The Bills could go Fairly but Peterson is a better character guy.

4. Cincinnati (4-12) Nick Fairly DT Auburn
Cincy could go so many directions from QB, WR, CB, DE, DT but Fairly is the best on the board.

5. Arizona (5-11) Blaine Gabbert QB Missouri
Cards really slipped without a true signal caller. I think Gabbert might be a season or two away but this keeps Fitz happy.

6. Cleveland (5-11) Julio Jones WR Alabama
AJ Green and Jones are 1a and 1b so who fits the system better. I think Jones fits better with the Browns.

7. San Francisco (6-10) Von Miller OLB Texas A&M
A pass rush natural with the instincts and athleticism to play OLB.

8. Tennessee (6-10) Robert Quinn DE North Carolina
Falls right into the Titans laps after their hopes of Gabbert disappear.

9. Dallas (6-10) Prince Amukamara CB Nebraska
Dallas really can sit and take the best player available. They have no glaring needs but if they did secondary would be it.

10.Washington (6-10) JJ Watt DE Wisconsin
The Skins need a few positions and a DE for the 3-4 is one. Too early for Ingram and Mallett.

11.Houston (6-10) Aldon Smith OLB Missouri
Smith is a good fit for the 3-4 and will bring an immediate pass rush.

12.Minnesota (6-10) Ryan Mallett QB Arkansas
With Favre finally retired and no such hope on the roster the Vikings get the best pure passer in the draft.

13.Detroit (6-10) Tyron Smith OT USC
The Lions finally have something to build on so lets keep the QB upright this year!

14.St. Louis (7-9) AJ Green WR Georgia
The Rams get a steal when Green falls out of the top ten. If a team ahead of them drafts best player available this won't happen.

15.Miami (7-9) Mark Ingram RB Alabama
This is a need pick. Both Brown and Williams are free agents and the Phins NEED a back. They get the best one in the draft.

16.Jacksonville (8-8) Da'Quan Bower DE Clemson
Bower has some character and medical questions. If a team can look past both he is a top ten pick. But he also could slide.

17.New England - from Oakland (8-8) Ryan Kerrigan OLB Purdue
Kerrigan is a great pass rusher with fluid hips. Will fit right in on the Pats defense.

18.San Diego (9-7) Cameron Jordan DE Cal
Jordan is a perfect 3-4 DE.

19.New York Giants (10-6) Anthony Castonzo OT BC
Castonzo is not going to be a great tackle but good enough and has the experience to play LT

20.Tampa Bay (10-6) Brandon Harris CB Miami
Rhonde Barber is 36 years old!

21.Kansas City* (10-6) Phil Taylor NT Baylor
A perfect 3-4 anchor. They might trade down for him but if you want him you might have to overdraft him with Ravens, Pats, Steelers, and many other 3-4 teams in the wings.

22.Indianapolis* (10-6) Gabe Carimi OT Wisconsin
Manning did not look the same when he doesn't have 5 seconds to throw every pass and Carimi will help that right away.

23.Philadelphia* (10-6) Jimmy Smith CB Colorado
Gives the Eagles a great CB Tandom to help the edge rusher rush the passer.

24.New Orleans* (11-5) Justin Houston DE Georgia
Gives the Saints a pass rusher.

25.Seattle* (7-9) Adrian Clayborn DE Iowa
Good Bull rush pass rusher for the Hawks.

26.Baltimore* (12-4) Torrey Smith WR Maryland
The burner from Mayland will help improve Flacco and his YPA.

27.Atlanta* (13-3) John Baldwin WR Pittsburgh
Falcons need a solid #2 Matt Ryan.

28.New England* (14-2) Mike Pouncey OG Florida
With Neal and Mankins all but gone Pouncey is a day one starter. Damn!

29.Chicago* (11-5) Derek Sherrod OT Mississippi St
Bears need a tackle to keep Cutler upright!

30.New York Jets* (11-5) Muhammad Wilkerson DE Temple
Ellis is not getting any younger and Wilkerson fits perfect in the system.

31.Pittsburgh* (12-4) Benjamin Ijalana OT Villanova
At this point the Steelers have seen about every player they hoped would fall not fall. Don't be shocked to see a trade here.

32.Green Bay* (10-6) Cameron Heyward
Pefect 3-4 DE.

33. New England - from Carolina (2-14) Aaron Williams DB Texas
Fits in with this defense. Can play CB or FS.

Buffalo (4-12) Jake Locker QB Washington
The Harvard boy can teach Locker a few things while he rides the pine a year or two.

Cincinnati (4-12) Christian Ponder QB FSU
If Palmer does retire the Bengals need a QB. Ponder and Kaepernick fit very well in Grudens offense but I feel ponder is more NFL ready.

Denver (4-12) Kyle Rudolph TE Notre Dame
Gives whomever is the QB a nice safety valve. Graham only had 148 receiving yards.

Cleveland (5-11) Martez Wilson ILB Illinois
Eric Barton is going to be 34 and Wilson is a stud ILB.

Arizona (5-11) Leonard Hankerson WR Miami
Gives the young QB a nice target and someone to take the double coverage off Fitz.

Tennessee (6-10) Colin Kaepernick QB Nevada
The titans missed out on Newton and Gabbert so they take the best QB left on the board.

Dallas (6-10) Nate Soldier OT Colorado
I am not too high on Soldier. He seems to get out of position a lot and might not be able to keep his weight up. But at this point he is a need and good value for the Boys!

Washington (6-10) Mikel Leshoure RB Illinois
With Portis gone Leshoure fits with the one cut running system of Shanahan.

Houston (6-10) Ras-I Dowling CB Virginia
There isn't a NT for the 3-4 worth this pick.

Minnesota (6-10) Stephen Paea DT Oregon St
A penetrating DT that is strong as a horse. Williams Bros ain't getting younger!

Detroit (6-10) Randall Cobb WR Kentucky
A perfect compliment to megatron. Cobb can take a short pass and get those great YAC.

San Francisco (6-10) Andy Dalton QB TCU
Harbaugh was at Daltons workout but not Newtons or Mallets. That makes me believe he feels Dalton is a QB that can run his system.

Denver - from Miami (7-9) Corey Liuget DT Illinois
Gives the Broncos a very good interior defense.

St. Louis (7-9) Marvin Austin DT UNC
That interior line is getting pretty old.

Oakland (8-8) Rashad Carmichael CB VT
The fastest CB left on the board!

Jacksonville (8-8) Rahim Moore FS UCLA
The Jags need an upgrade at both safety spots.

San Diego (9-7) Sam Acho OLB Texas
Larry English sucked last year. Acho is a perfect 3-4 rush backer.

Tampa Bay (10-6) Titus Young WR Boise St.
Young is a pefect fit for the young Tampa team.

New York Giants (10-6) Bruce Carter OLB UNC
Carter will inject youth and speed into the linebacker core of the G-Men.

Indianapolis* (10-6) Ryan Williams RB VT
Addai has gotten progressively worse every year and Brown cannot be a feature back. Williams has the talent to be the best back in the 2011 class.

Philadelphia* (10-6) Marcus Cannon OG TCU
Cannon is one of those big uglies Reed likes to draft.

Kansas City* (10-6) Jerrel Jernigan WR Troy
A smallish WR but has good speed and is elusive.

New Orleans* (11-5) Drake Nevis DT LSU
A nice DT to play with Ellis.

Seattle* (7-9) Quinton Carter S Oklahoma
Lawyer Milloy is 37 and not a long term solution. Carter has good speed, range and football IQ.

Baltimore* (12-4) Luke Stocker TE Tennessee
Ravens get a future replacement for Heap.

Atlanta* (13-3) Jabaal Sheard DE Pittaburgh
A first round talent and fits a need.

New England* (14-2) Kendall Hunter RB Oklahoma St.
Green-Ellis looked great but the Pats still have no depth at RB and Hunter would be a nice replacement for Faulk.

San Diego - from New York Jets* (11-5) Edmund Gates WR Abiline Christian
Games is a speed guy who should fit into the Chargers system.

Chicago* (11-5) Danny Watkins OG Baylor


Pittsburgh* (12-4) Curtis Brown CB Texas
Brown looks like natural in pass coverage. Doesn't have the long speed but has a good burst and hips. He also has better hands than the numbers say.

Green Bay* (10-6) Chris Carter OLB Fresno St.
He is a perfect 3-4 OLB that will go perfect opposite Mathews.

Round 3

Carolina (2-14) Jarvis Jenkins DT Clemson

Cincinnati (4-12) Tandon Doss WR Indiana

Denver (4-12) Pernell McPhee DE Miss St

Buffalo (4-12) James Brewer OT Indiana

Arizona (5-11) Dontay Moch OLB Nevada

Cleveland (5-11) Mason Foster OLB Washington

Dallas (6-10) Tyler Sash S Iowa

New Orleans - from Washington (6-10) Robert Sands S WVU

Houston (6-10) Jerrell Powe DT Ole Miss

New England - from Minnesota (6-10) Joseph Barksdale OT LSU

Detroit (6-10) Davon House CB New Mexico St

San Francisco (6-10) Allen Bailey DL Miami

Tennessee (6-10) Sione Fua DT Stanford

St. Louis (7-9) K.J. Wright OLB Miss St

Miami (7-9) DeAndre McDaniel S Clemson

Jacksonville (8-8) Terrell McCain DT South Florida

Oakland (8-8) Ugo Chinasa DE Oklahoma St

San Diego (9-7) Casey Mathews ILB Oregon St

New York Giants (10-6) Jordan Todman RB UConn

Tampa Bay (10-6) Jurrell Casey DT USC

Philadelphia* (10-6) Cliff Matthews DE South Carolina

Kansas City* (10-6) Stefen Wisniewski OC Penn St

Indianapolis* (10-6) CLint Boling OG Georgia

New Orleans* (11-5) Orlando Franklin OL Miami

San Diego - from Seattle* (7-9) Demarcus Love OL Arkansas

Baltimore* (12-4) Johnny Patrick CB Louisville

Atlanta* (13-3) Lance Kendricks TE Wisconsin

New England* (14-2) Lawrence Guy DE USC

Chicago* (11-5) Greg Little WR UNC

New York Jets* (11-5) Bruce Miller OLB Central Florida

Pittsburgh* (12-4) Kenrick Ellis NT Hampton

Green Bay* (10-6) Shane Vereen RB Cal

Carolina (compensatory) Pierre Allen DE Nebraska

[thebow305]

Ugh. Ingram is good in the first, but McDaniel is a terrible pick in the 3rd. We already filled out safety need by drafting Reshad Jones, who played well in spot duty last year.

Lance Kendricks, Greg Little or Clint Boling would fill much bigger needs there.

[D-Ware Nightmare]

solid cowboys draft, solder is a great value in round 2, however i would probably go wisnewski or allen bailey in the 3rd if they are available before Sash.

[TNPatsFan]

Good job on a three round draft. I will discuss the Pats picks:
1. Ryan Kerrigan seems to be a perfect fit for the Pats. Hopefully Belichick agrees with me.

2. Pouncey - a decent pick that fills a need. I don't personally think he's worth a first round pick, but it's the end of the first so I can accept it. I would rather have Wisniewski and here is why. Wiz can start at guard right away replacing Neal. But next year Koppen will be a FA and they need to get his replacement. Wiz could start this year and then move to center next year, allowing to groom another starting G next year. I think Pouncey is a good guard but I just don't think he's a center at all, and picking Wiz would kind of kill two birds with one stone.

3. Aaron Williams is a pick I could see happening. Not what everyone expects, but BB does believe you can never have too many DB's and I think it's a bigger need than it appears. Williams' versatility likely puts him higher on BB's board than other DB's.

4. Kenall Hunter - I don't really like this pick. I like him as a player, and it's true the Pats have had a private workout with him. But I have doubts if there is serious interest. The Pats need RB's but I don't think Hunter gives them anything that they don't already have with Green-Ellis and Woodhead. They don't need another small back. Woodhead already more than adequately filled in for Faulk so they don't need a Faulk replacement. If they take a RB early, and are sure to draft at least one RB in this draft, I would expect it to be either a guy that has some size, or a guy who can become the number one back. I don't think Hunter fits that description. I personally would love to see them take Jarvis Jenkins with that pick.

5. Barksdale - This pick is very possible. They are likely to take an OT in the first 3 rounds or so.

6. Lawrence Guy (actually he's from Arizona St, not USC) - This is a nice pick. You don't hear much about him but he could be one of those sneaky players that gets drafted in this area and really plays well. He fits as a 3-4 base DE and if the Pats don't take one of those early I could see them making this pick.

[thenewfeature06]

Not a bad Oakland mock... in the 2nd Carmichael is ideal I guess.

Carter/Cannon/Watkins would also be good.

In the 3rd, I am not familiar with Ugo Chinasa.. Greg Little/Wisniewski/Love would all be better picks.

[jCut]

Mason Foster over Pernell McPhee and that's a good Denver draft.

[shylo3716]

Very disrespectful to have Green out of the Top 10

[21ST]

Very disrespectful to have Green out of the Top 10

There is no way Green would get past the Redskins

[Scotty D]

Lions mock-

Green in the 1st > Cobb in the 2nd, if they are going to take a WR that high I'd rather have Green. I'd take Bowers or Green over Tyron Smith.

Cannon, Carter, Curtis Brown are better options in the second.. House is a good pick in the third.

Good mock

[TonyGfortheTD]

2 picks and filled two needs. Good choices too; solid Chiefs mock

[wicket]

Acceptable first two rounds, tragic third round for the saints

[T-RICH49]

great 3 picks for KC

[RJS113]

Worst Bucs mock ever.

[Pat Sims 90]

Missed the Bengals biggest need and that would be OL.

[jCut]

Worst Bucs mock ever.

Yeah it looks like a 2010 Bucs' mock.

[drd23]

Thats a pretty bad Ravens mock.

Torrey Smith isnt worth a 1st rounder IMO. We wont be taking a TE with our 2nd pick seeing as how we drafted 2 TEs last year. Patrick is an okay pick but it could be much better considering Patrick doesnt really offer anything that we dont already have in our CB rotation

[J-Mike88]

2. Pouncey - a decent pick that fills a need. I don't personally think he's worth a first round pick, but.....
How is Pouncey not worth a 1st round pick?
He's a rock-solid pick and will for sure have a good long NFL career barring injury. He's gotten an extra year of seasoning compared to his brother....

Anyway, so-so for the Packers.
-Ironhead2 Heyward would be a solid pick now that Jolly has reverted to his criminal self and will never be back in a Packer uniform again.

-Chris Carter in round 2? Seems quite high for him but I must admit I've got a lot to learn about his game.

-RB Vereen in round 3.... we don't need another RB with Grant coming back to the Super Bowl winning team with the young Starks fresh and ready to rock.

[GoRavens]

Baltimore drafting a tightend in the 2nd round?
Boy, I might just kill you tonight.

[ChicagoBearsVet23]

Great Bears Draft!!

[akvikefan89]

Eh, I don't think Minnesota will overlook the character concerns with Mallett. I think Locker is much more likely.

LOVE Paea in the second round.

[Bar-bq]

It's never going to happen, but that's an OUTSTANDING Rams draft.

[49erNation85]

An alright 9ers mock,fills both major needs.Just a little early for Dalton though.
