2010 NFL Mock Draft
March 9, 2010 by Administrator
Draft order
1. St. Louis Rams – QB Sam Bradford – Oklahoma
There have been a lot of talk that the Rams have had serious talks about drafting QB Sam Bradford in the 2010 NFL draft. In past years they have passed on Matt Ryan and Mark Sanchez so they don’t want to make the same mistake three years in a row. Bradford has an NFL type arm with great accuracy. The Rams have also signed AJ Feeley so if they don’t want him to start right away Feeley can step in and take over until they are ready to throw Bradford into the fire.
2. Detroit Lions – DT Gerald McCoy – Oklahoma
In the 2009 NFL draft, they boosted their offense with a franchise QB in Matt Stafford and TE Brandon Pettigrew. Also with their second round pick they drafted Safety Louis Delmas who is having a pretty good season so drafting Eric Berry is probably off their radar. They have lacked a run stopper in the middle of their defensive line. McCoy is exactly that at 6′3″ 296 lbs. In my 2010 NFL mock draft I see McCoy being that piece to turn around the Detroit Lions in 2010.
3. Tampa Bay Buccaneers – DT Ndamukong Suh – Nebraska
In my 2010 NFL mock draft, the Buccaneers are in a great position if Sam Bradford is the first overall selection. They will get one of the top DT which could easily be the 1st overall draft pick. In my mock draft I have McCoy over Suh so he will end up in Tampa Bay and will help rebuild that defense.
4. Washington Redskins - QB Jimmy Clausen – Notre Dame
The Redskins could go with an offensive tackle with this pick if Sam Bradford goes #1 but they just signed Artis Hicks who will fill in nicely for the 2010-11 season. They still have Jason Campbell in Washington but I believe Mike Shanahan will start his reign with his own QB and that will be Jimmy Clausen in my 2010 NFL mock draft.
5. Kansas City Chiefs - OT Russell Okung – Oklahoma State
The Chiefs offensive line is in desperate need of improvement and in my 2010 NFL mock draft I have them doing just that.. They drafted OT Branden Albert in 2008 but hasn’t panned out like they were hoping. Okung is a very athletic left tackle with great power and speed. By drafting a franchise left tackle to protect QB Matt Cassell’s blind side they may be able to step up their offensive production.
6. Seattle Seahawks – OT Anthony Davis – Rutgers
This season when QB Matt Hasselbeck was healthy and starting the Seahawks were a pretty good team. Hasselbeck got hurt earlier in the season and couldn’t stay upright long enough to get the offense going. In my 2010 NFL mock draft Seattle should be looking to improve their offensive line. In the second and third round of the 2010 NFL draft, the Seahawks will be able to find some very good defensive players.
7. Cleveland Browns – ILB Rolando McClain – Alabama
I don’t think that Cleveland should take a QB in my 2010 NFL mock draft because when given a chance towards the end of this season Brady Quinn preformed pretty well. With Mike Holmgren running the show now he may want to bring in a new coach as well as his “own” QB so we will have to wait and see what he says after the season. I would help boost the defense with their first pick of the draft. They could go for a defensive end and improve their pass rush but in my 2010 mock draft they won’t be able to pass on LB Rolando McClain. McClain is a tough and physical linebacker with a great football IQ.
8. Oakland Raiders - OT Trent Williams – Oklahoma
With the 8th pick in the 2010 NFL draft the Raiders could go a few ways. They may help the defensive line or secondary. In my 2010 NFL mock draft I have them picking Trent Williams. He is a big and powerful offensive lineman who has had a great career protecting Sam Bradford at Oklahoma. In his combine workout he ran a 4.85-second 40-yard dash, turned in a 32-inch vertical jump and put up 34 repetitions on the standard 225-pound bench press.
9. Buffalo Bills – OT Bryan Bulaga – Iowa
Bulaga’s 6′6″ 311 lbs frame will be a great fit on front line of the Buffalo Bills. The last two years they have been building up their offensive line. Bulaga had a very good year at Iowa and will help protect whoever is in the backfield for Buffalo. If one of the top two QB’s falls this far I believe they will draft one of them but in my mock draft they are off the board so they have to continue to work on the offensive side of the ball.
10. Jacksonville Jaguars - S Eric Berry – Tennessee
Eric Berry could be the top football player in this year’s draft. He has been compared to Baltimore Ravens star Ed Reed. He isn’t afraid to come up and make the tackle but also posses excellent secondary skills. I believe his talent could make him a top 5 pick in this years draft but in my mock draft there are no needs for a Safety. Jacksonville could also go with a DE with this pick even with the signing of Aaron Kampman but it will be hard to pass on the top player on the draft board.

Nice Jags pick although I am starting to think that Haden the CB is the better pick given the weak draft class of CB and the relativey strong passrush draft class. Haden can become a relaativley shut down corner and those are VERY valuable and perhaps is something the Jaguars should nto pass up given the ability to pick up a passrushing end or DT in a later round.
