A potential scenario as I see it right now. Not what I want (or believe is right), but what I think is one scenario. That’s all it is, folks. I’ll try to get a couple other scenarios up, but this one first. Could change a lot, and as noted, I have other scenarios on hand that I've spoken to some about. I’ll add options and more comments later if possible, but wanted to get something up in case I’m not back in time for the start of the draft and any big news that might break.
1. Oakland – QB Jamarcus Russell, LSU
As noted, I think this is the right move, but we’ll have to wait and see.
2. Detroit – WR Calvin Johnson, Georgia Tech
It is the best value … and they could actually use a downfield WR.
3. Cleveland – OT Joe Thomas, Wisconsin
Tough one … but Thomas helps out more in the immediate future than Quinn.
4. Tampa Bay – DT Amobi Okoye, Louisville
Worst no-trade scenario for them … so they reach.
5. Arizona – OT Levi Brown, Penn State
I trust Grimm … though I’m not a huge Levi fan.
6. Washington – S Laron Landry, LSU
They are hoping Golston develops.
7. Minnesota – CB Leon Hall, Michigan
I’d laugh, to be honest.
8. Atlanta – DE Jamaal Anderson, Arkansas
Don’t like it, but understandable at the same time.
9. Miami – QB Brady Quinn, Notre Dame
I wouldn’t be stunned if they passed.
10. Houston – DE Gaines Adams, Clemson
A riot in Houston if they pass AD.
11. San Francisco – LB Patrick Willis, Mississippi
Could be the leader that defense needs. ILB’s get underrated in the 3-4.
12. Buffalo – RB Adrian Peterson, Oklahoma
Their dream situation.
13. St. Louis – CB Darrelle Revis, Pittsburgh
Carriker is a strong, strong thought.
14. Carolina – S Reggie Nelson, Florida
Short of it is that safety value in round 2 isn’t close, and they need a safety.
15. Pittsburgh – DL Adam Carriker, Nebraska
Maybe their ideal situation, if they buy Carriker able to play a 3-tech role.
16. Green Bay – WR Dwayne Bowe, LSU
Could flip with Meachem. Tough, physical big target to their liking. A Moss trade waves this out, though.
17. Jacksonville – S Michael Griffin, Texas
Don’t like it. Not one bit.
18. Cincinnati – DT Alan Branch, Michigan
Good gamble.
19. Tennessee – WR Robert Meachem, Tennessee
Could flip with Bowe. Defense can wait … the future lies with Vince.
20. New York Giants – LB Jon Beason, the U
A lot of options, and trade down may be in their best interest.
21. Denver – DT Justin Harrell, Tennessee
Perhaps a mild surprise, but I’m not sold on Staley … yet.
22. Dallas – CB Aaron Ross, Texas
A number of directions, but with 3 WR’s off … they go for return help and CB depth.
23. Kansas City – OT Joe Staley, Central Michigan
Perhaps their ideal scenario.
24. New England – LB David Harris, Michigan
Want him … so they gamble higher than expected.
25. New York Jets – TE Greg Olsen, the U
A lot of options … but they need a dynamic TE. Question is, is Olsen dynamic?
26. Philadelphia – S Brandon Meriweather, the U
Seems to be someone a lot of people feel will get the nod … if New England doesn’t pluck him (or someone, say, San Diego, deals up for him)
27. New Orleans Saints – WR Ted Ginn Jr., the Ohio State
A lot of options … but tough to pass. Ginn Jr. and Bush … intriguing to say the least.
28. New England – CB Josh Wilson, Maryland
I like Houston better, but I wouldn’t be surprised if Wilson goes higher … and he might be a better fit here anyways.
29. Baltimore – G Ben Grubbs, Auburn
Could go anywhere, as this is a team, in all honesty, without many immediate needs. Grubbs puts Chester at C.
30. San Diego – WR Anthony Gonzalez, the Ohio State
No safety value. The big tall Jarrett that fits Norv, or the quicker Gonzalez, which more fits what the team needs?
31. Chicago – OL Tony Ugoh, Arkansas
Really just a guess here for now, although following rumors of their OL interest as the bet. A number of directions here. Remember, Ugoh can project inside.
32. Indianapolis – LB Lawrence Timmons, Florida State
My gut says WR, but I went with my head here.
Again, I ask that you remember this is a no-trade mock, which plays a huge dynamic on the picks. I want to note this, because if Lynch falls, someone will move up for him, IMO (and if Green Bay lands Moss, watch for them to reconsider Lynch).
