The first 2010 mock.
1. St. Louis Rams (trade with Lions on draft day)
*Sam Bradford, QB, Oklahoma
Lions will have the worst record, but can't afford another No. 1 overall. Teams will want to trade up for this QB, unlike the lack of interest in Matt Stafford. The only danger is critics will have a year to pick apart Bradford, who could have been No. 1 this year.
2. Oakland Raiders
*Eric Berry, SS, Tennessee
Will the new Raiders coach be able to talk Al Davis out of workout wonder Taylor Mays? This is very high for a safety, but Berry is special.
3. Tampa Bay Buccaneers
*Gerald McCoy, DT, Oklahoma
Tampa Bay's defense will really need help after its first full Monte Kiffin-less season.
4. Detroit Lions (trade with Rams on draft day)
Russell Okung, OT, Oklahoma State
They'll do anything to protect their investment in Matthew Stafford.
5. San Francisco 49ers
Taylor Mays, S, USC
Might as well cement all the comparisons to Ronnie Lott.
6. Jacksonville Jaguars
Ndamukong Suh, DT, Nebraska
The disruptive Suh will help bring some bite back to this defense.
7. Cleveland Browns
Mark Herzlich, LB, Boston College
Or perhaps Sergio Kindle, who is slotted at No. 14.
8. New York Jets (via draft day trade with Chiefs)
*Dez Bryant, WR, Oklahoma State
Assuming the Jets don't sign Plaxico Burress, new quarterback Mark Sanchez will need more help.
9. Cincinnati Bengals
*Arrelious Benn, WR, Illinois
How much longer can an unhappy Chad Johnson work in Cincy?
10. Green Bay Packers
Trent Williams, OT, Oklahoma
The Packers need to make that big investment in Aaron Rodgers pay off.
11. Buffalo Bills
*Bryan Bulaga, OT, Iowa
The Bills could also look at receiver if the Terrell Owens experiment doesn't work out.
12. Seattle Seahawks (via Broncos)
*Joe Haden, CB, Florida
The Seahawks will need more help running after the Cardinals' receivers.
13. Washington Redskins
Tim Tebow, QB, Florida
All it takes is for one team to fall in love with the chosen one. No owner develops crushes like Daniel Snyder, who will take Tebow 10 picks too early. Tebow doesn't necessarily fit the mold of a Jim Zorn quarterback, but there could be a new coach in Washington by draft day if the Redskins end up slotted at No. 13.
14. Kansas City Chiefs (via draft day trade with Jets)
Sergio Kindle, OLB, Texas
Actually, I wouldn't be surprised if Scott Pioli traded down even more in this draft to take control of the second round, like he used to in New England. The Chiefs already have the Falcons' pick for the Tony Gonzalez trade.
15. Minnesota Vikings
*Carlos Dunlap, DE, Florida
He's 6-foot-6, 285 pounds and could go even higher if he dominates the 2009 season.
16. Atlanta Falcons
Terrence Cody, DT, Alabama
The Falcons did draft Peria Jerry, but coach Mike Smith could add more size on that defensive line. Cody has battled weight problems but slimmed down in the offseason.
17. Miami Dolphins
Brandon Spikes, LB, Florida
The hard-hitting LB has Bill Parcells written all over him. (That's assuming Parcells is still with the 'Fins.)
18. Seattle Seahawks
Greg Hardy, DE, Mississippi
If this seems too low a spot for a team that finished 4-12 last season, remember the Seahawks were decimated by injuries in 2008. Hardy's a big talent who has attitude issues to address.
19. New Orleans Saints
*Jonathan Dwyer, RB, Georgia Tech
New Orleans failed to get a big back in this year's draft.
20. Baltimore Ravens
Brandon LaFell, WR, LSU
Baltimore's leading receiver, Derrick Mason, is 35.
21. Denver Broncos (via Bears)
Sean Weatherspoon, LB, Missouri
Denver will still be looking to shore up its defense.
22. Houston Texans
*Marvin Austin, DT, North Carolina
We've all heard this before, but this is the year the Texans break into the playoffs.
23. Dallas Cowboys
Trevard Lindley, CB, Kentucky
Tony Romo fails to get his first playoff win, which would have moved the Cowboys further down in the first round.
24. Tennessee Titans
Jermaine Gresham, TE, Oklahoma
Or will Tennessee be looking for a quarterback here? We'll give Vince Young the benefit of the doubt.
25. San Francisco 49ers (via Panthers)
*Jevan Snead, QB, Mississippi
Depending on who you talk to, Snead could be the No. 1 overall pick next year or fall out of the first round. Keep an eye on one of this year's most interesting prospects.
26. Arizona Cardinals
George Selvie, DE, South Florida
Will the Cardinals be looking for a QB as well? We'll also give Matt Leinart the benefit of the doubt.
27. Indianapolis Colts
Brandon Lange, DE, Troy
The small-school product could be the Colts' next sack specialist.
28. Pittsburgh Steelers
Javier Arenas, CB, Alabama
Not a lot of immediate needs I can see for Pittsburgh, so it can take the best available talent.
29. New York Giants
*Rolando McClain, LB, Alabama
The Giants will likely need a burner at receiver, but McClain reportedly has looked scary during spring practice.
30. New England Patriots
C.J. Spiller, RB, Clemson
If they don't trade out of the first round, they'll need a running back.
31. Philadelphia Eagles
Ciron Black, OT, LSU
Andy Reid gets back to his true passion next season, drafting offensive linemen.
32. San Diego Chargers
*DeMarco Murray, RB, Oklahoma
Chargers finally get over the hump in the playoffs.

Holy shit lets not get ahead of our selfs now, they never stop with this shit at ESPN. It all will change except for Bradford.

This one is from SI.
-
I can't believe the Browns didn't trade down !
-
Man, I'm kinda bummed. I was hoping we'd be out of the top 10.
-
I think this writer has done a good job. I'd LOVE to see Herzlich in Cleveland.
I think Seattle will go with a Qb. Hasslebeck's run is all but over.
If Travis Lewis comes out he'll be a 10th to 20 overall pick. He was only a redshirt freshman last year but I think he'll declare after his redshirt Sophomore year.
I also don't think Murray will make it in the first round.

What, no Buckeyes? My money is on Thaddeus Gibson coming out early and being a first rounder. He might even be a candidate for a 3-4 OLB.

He very well could play the outside. I'm sure scouts took notice when he sacked McCoy and got two roughing penalties as well. One was highly questionable. No, actually, it was a horrible call. He gets to the ball quickly. I think he's playing heavier than his natural weight. He came out of High school at just over 200 lbs and has put on weight when the Buckeyes wanted him to switch to DE.
He's the kind of guy that could get down to 225 lbs and wow'em at the combine.
But being a first rounder may be a bit of reach. I think he could make it into the second round.

"I'd LOVE to see Herzlich in Cleveland."
That's the spirit I'm looking for. The draft never stops.
I bet Alo is pulling a Belichick. Belichick wins the Super Bowl, then shows up at Gilette at 5:00 AM the next morning to get back to work.
Alo is probably reviewing tape of Sergio Kindle as we speak.

Why do the Rams trade all the way to number 1? Just because the write wants Bradford to be the number 1 pick, Detroit, Oakland and the Bucs all have 1st round qb's from the past 3 years...Safeties dont go no.2, they dont make enough impact. I dont this one that much, prefer the ones at WalterFootball
-
This thread is goofy, until I see a mock where the Browns pick LAST.
(and the Browns will NOT pick that high next year.)
-
tebow and snead go before colt mccoy? not very likely. tebow doesn't have the arm and snead will only have one year experience as a starter. also i still don't see tebow being taken as a qb.

The draft would follow Snead's second year as a starter.
As a Sophomore he threw for almost 3,000 yards and 26 TD's. He's been rising ever since and I think he ends up being a top 20 pick. Possibly a top ten pick. The kid is a good QB.
I'm not a Tebow fan either but he'll get taken as a Qb. He does too many things well not to be playing Qb. An NFL team will love his ability to move.

There are many early mocks that have Bradford going #1. I think he could as well. You may see a bidding war for him between the Rams and Seahawks.
I think you need to take a look at who the writer has drafting #2 and you'll see why there is a safety going there.
When it comes to that organization, you can throw any logic out the door.
My biggest problem with the writer's pick is they drafted a SS this year in the second round. But heck, who knows with Al.
Walterfootball called the Raider pick this year when very few had. You just never know with that team. All you can count on is it won't be who people think it's going to be.

Nah, I've got more of a Steve Spurrier work ethic.

Some more Herzlich:He's 6'4" and has been listed at 240 lbs but he sure looks bigger than that. If I were asked I'd guess he was in the 260 to 265 range.
His 6 INT's were tops in the nation for LB's.
I sure like this player a lot.
