2010 NFL Mock Draft 11-20
March 6, 2010 by Administrator · 2 Comments
11. Denver Broncos (From Chicago) – ILB Rolando McClain – Alabama
I think that it will be hard for Denver to pass up on WR Dez Bryant especially trading away Brandon Marshall last week. There are plenty of good WR’s later on in this years draft so that is the one thing going for them Rolando McClain I am real high on as well. He is a very intelligent football player who will improve the Broncos defense immediately.
12. Miami Dolphins – DT Dan Williams – Tennessee
If Williams is available at this spot I believe they will draft him right away without hesitation. If there is hesitation it will also include Sergio Kindle who is a hybrid defensive player who can play linebacker and defensive end. Dan Williams will help stabilize the middle of the defensive line.
13. San Francisco 49ers - OT Bruce Campbell – Maryland
Bruce Campbell has been rising in many mock drafts. The 49ers are entering this draft looking to build up their offensive line. If Anthony Davis or Trent Williams falls to them at pick 13 then expect them to draft one of those offensive linemen. Picking Campbell here in my NFL mock draft will help protect Alex Smith who looked like the franchise QB that they were expecting at the end of this season.
14. Seattle Seahawks (From Denver) – S Earl Thomas – Texas
The Seahawks could potentially draft Eric Berry but I have them selecting RB C.J. Spiller. So if Earl Thomas is still on the draft board then they would be very happy with him. He is an excellent athlete who would fit in well with the Seattle secondary.
15. New York Giants – DE Derrick Morgan – Georgia Tech
This wont make Osi Umenyiora very happy and I could see him getting traded this season. By drafting Morgan it will make the defensive line younger and quicker. He will provide more pressure on the QB that they lacked last year and which helped them win a Super Bowl a few years ago.
16. Tennessee Titans – DE/OLB Sergio Kindle – Texas
Kindle will fit in well with Jeff Fisher’s defense. He can play standing up or with his hand on the ground. He could be drafted near the top ten or could drop towards the end of the 1st round. It will all depend who is on the board and how each team feels about him come draft day on Thursday.
17. San Francisco 49ers (From Carolina) – OG Mike Iupati – Idaho
Iupati may not fall this far but I wouldn’t be surprised if he did. And if he does expect the 49ers to pick him up. He will dramatically improve the offensive line in 2010 and maybe help improve QB Alex Smith. This will be Alex Smith’s last year to prove that he is their QB or they will look elsewhere in 2011.
18. Pittsburgh Steelers - 
C/G Maurkice Pouncey - Florida
The Steelers have been trying to improve their offensive line each year because Big Ben has been getting hit a lot. Pouncey has really jumped up in the 1st round in the past few weeks and should get some good looks in the 2010 NFL draft.
19. Atlanta Falcons – DE Jerry Hughes – TCU
Jerry Hughes last year could have been a high first round draft pick last year but decided to stay in school. This year I have had him in my second round for most of the year but I think that Atlanta really needs a pass rusher so with the other DE’s off the board they will take Hughes with the 19th pick. Atlanta was among the worst defenses in sacks for the 2009 season. This draft pick will immediately produce more sacks.
20. Houston Texans – CB Kyle Wilson – Boise State
Wilson has been moving up many draft boards as well as mine. The Texans lost Dunta Robinson so they will need to fill that void. Kyle Wilson from Boise State will do just that.

2010 NFL Mock Draft 21-32

21. Cincinnati Bengals – WR Dez Bryant – Oklahoma State
This draft pick will help the Bengals offense dramatically. Bryant has slid down many draft boards due to his attitude but I don’t think that should matter but according to my mock draft he falls to Cincinnati and they would love to have him.
22. New England Patriots – TE Jermain Gresham – Oklahoma
Gresham looked to have gotten over his knee injury that he sustain his senior year during his workouts at the combine. Gresham ran routes well and his 4.76 in the 40 confirmed that he has not lost his ability to stretch the middle of the field. Tom Brady will love throwing to him which will open up the field for Randy Moss.
23. Green Bay Packers - DE Brandon Graham – Michigan
The Packers need to get younger and quicker on the front line of their defense. DE Graham will be a great addition to that front line that needs to get quicker off the ball. Graham’s performance in the Senior Bowl has really elevated him in a lot of mock drafts. He has moved into the first round in my 2010 mock draft.
24. Philadelphia Eagles – S Taylor Mays – USC
Taylor Mays is a freak athlete and would have been a high draft pick in last years draft but decided to stay for his senior year. He is a player that looks for the big hits and is very good against the run but also hurts him sometimes because he will jump on play action. His type of play would be a great fit in the secondary of the Eagles. In my 2010 NFL mock draft, Taylor Mays will be available with the 24th pick and should be able to help with the loss of Dawkins.
25. Baltimore Ravens – WR Golden Tate – Notre Dame
Even with the addition of WR Anquan Boldin which is a great pick up for the Ravens, I still have them drafting Golden Tate in my 2010 NFL mock draft. In his Junior season Tate really stepped up for Jimmy Clausen and the Fighting Irish. Boldin is a great WR in the NFL but throughout his career he has been injury prone and it wont hurt their offense to have two playmakers for Joe Flacco to throw to.
26. Arizona Cardinals – DE Ricky Sapp – Clemson
Free agency has has just started and the Cardinals are one of the biggest losers so far. They have lost S Antrel Rolle, WR Anquan Boldin, and DE Bertrand Berry to retirement. They will need to really load up on defensive players in the 2010 NFL draft. The loss of Boldin is not a big factor with Early Doucet and Steve Breaston moving up a spot on the depth chart.
27. Dallas Cowboys – OT Anthony Davis – Rutgers
The Cowboys finally released the aging and penalty prone OT Flozell Adams. Their biggest need in this draft will be OT and if Davis falls in their lap I don’t see them passing on him. He is a very strong and physical offensive tackle. He isn’t quite the run blocker that Adams was but he should be betting in his all around game.
28. San Diego Chargers - RB Ryan Matthews – Fresno State
With the Chargers releasing LaDainian Tomlinson, the Chargers will need to get a full-time RB to man the backfield. It looks like Darren Sproles will stay in San Diego which is a good move but he isn’t a player that can handle the load of 300 carries. Ryan Matthews draft stock has really risen in the last few weeks. I have him as my second RB in the 2010 NFL draft.
29. New York Jets – DE Everson Griffen – USC
With their first round pick the Jets could look to draft a WR which will help Mark Sanchez and the offense in the 2010 season. Braylon Edwards has the potential to be a big time receiver but just can’t shake loose all the drops that he has had this season. I feel that Rex Ryan will turn to the defensive side and take DE Everson Griffen who has played his way up many 2010 NFL mock drafts. In my 2010 NFL mock draft I see him as being a late first round pick.
30. Minnesota Vikings – DT Jared Odrick – Penn State
I know that the Vikings have the Williams’ in the middle but they continue to get older each year and it would be nice for the Vikings to have some depth at that position as well as allow them to get a rest at different times in a ball game. Currently there are reports that NT Pat Williams is 50/50 on retiring so if he does then they will have to look to replace him in the draft.
31. Indianapolis Colts – DT Brian Price – UCLA
With Dwight Freeney on one side and Robert Mathis on the other they will need to fill the void in the middle. Price would be a good addition to the defensive line and could create more sack opportunities for the two on the end if that is possible.
32. New Orleans Saints – OT Charles Brown – USC
Brown has been creeping up many draft boards in the last few weeks. This week is the first week that I have had him in the 1st round. He could potentially go even higher depending on where the other tackles are drafted. I have Anthony Davis falling to Dallas but if he is drafted higher then that could mean good things for Brown. Brown will help New Orleans line get younger and continue to keep Drew Brees upright.
