2010 NFL Draft Results
May 7, 2010 by Administrator · Leave a Comment
1. St. Louis Rams - QB Sam Bradford – Oklahoma
This is the start of the rebuilding of the St. Louis Rams. To be a successful team you must have a great QB and the are hoping Bradford will be that. There are a lot of concerns about him due to him being in a spread offense at Oklahoma. He will have to improve on his footwork and reading defenses. He is an intelligent player with great accuracy. I understand all the concerns that surround him but he has a good head on his shoulders so I think he will be successful.
2. Detroit Lions – DT Ndamukong Suh – Nebraska
Ndamukong Suh was a beast in the middle of the defensive line in college and I expect the same in the NFL. Coach Swartz believes to build a successful team you must have a strong offensive and defensive line. This is a great player to put in the middle of your defensive line. He may be the best football player in this draft and should make an immediate impact in the 2010 NFL season.
3. Tampa Bay Buccaneers – DT Gerald McCoy – Oklahoma
McCoy has a different style of play compared to Suh. He is more of a pass rushing defensive tackle where Suh plugs holes with the three technique. This one of the easiest picks in this years draft. He will fit in perfectly with Tampa Bay’s defensive scheme. This could be a team that sneaks up on people in 2010 with a revamped defense and 2nd year QB Josh Freeman.
4. Washington Redskins – OT Trent Williams – Oklahoma
This pick was between Russell Okung and Williams. Trent Williams is a better fit for Washington. He will help protect Donavan McNabb who they acquired this off-season. Williams is a big and physical offensive tackle. A 6’4″ 315lbs frame will fit in very well with the depleted offensive line.
5. Kansas City Chiefs – S Eric Berry – Tennessee
This pick surprises me, I thought that they would go with an offensive tackle to protect QB Matt Cassel. I am a big fan of Berry. I think he is a tremendous athlete who will drastically change that defense. He can cover tight ends and wide receivers and also step up and chase down running backs.
6. Seattle Seahawks – OT Russell Okung – Oklahoma State
They really wanted Eric Berry but was taken but Kansas City right before. This is a great draft pick by Seattle. According to my draft board Okung was the best OT in this year’s draft. Pete Carroll is trying to build this team with the front line to protect aging Matt Hasselbeck and in the future Charlie Whitehurst.
7. Cleveland Browns – CB Joe Haden – Florida
With this pick in the 2010 NFL draft, the Browns needed to upgrade their secondary. I believe that they would have loved to get Eric Berry but since he was off the board they went with the best available CB and that was Joe Haden. He didn’t have a great combine but is a fantastic athlete who has great ability to find the ball.
8. Oakland Raiders – ILB Rolando McClain – Alabama
This is a surprising pick but I think is a very good pick for Al Davis and the Raiders. He isn’t the fastest or strongest defensive player but he is a defensive leader with a great football IQ. Right away he will step in and run the defensive side of the ball. Very well done by Oakland.
9. Buffalo Bills – RB C.J. Spiller – Clemson
This is very surprising to me. I really like Spiller and the more I think about the pick it is a pretty good one. They are going to eventually get rid of RB Marshawn Lynch which they will need to add someone to help Fred Jackson. Later in the draft they will be able to get a tackle or Tim Tebow who they are really high on.
10. Jacksonville Jaguars – DT Tyson Alualu - California
11. San Francisco 49ers (Via Broncos) – OT Anthony Davis – Rutgers
In my mock drafts I have been back and forth on Davis. Bryan Buluga is still available so I would have picked him ahead of Davis. There are a lot of concerns about Davis. There are questions about his work ethic and commitment to the game but is a very talented player.
12. San Diego Chargers (Via Dolphins) – RB Ryan Matthews – Fresno State
I didn’t think that they needed to trade this far up to draft Matthews. But they do have a need here with LaDainian Tomlinson now in New York. He is defiantly the second best RB and is comparable to C.J. Spiller.
13. Philadelphia Eagles (Via Broncos) – DE Brandon Graham – Michigan
14. Seattle Seahawks – S Earl Thomas – Texas
15. New York Giants – DE Jason Pierre-Paul – South Florida

2010 NFL Mock Draft

Draft order
1. St. Louis Rams – QB Sam Bradford – Oklahoma
With the recent release of QB Marc Bulger it makes it almost certain that the St. Louis Rams will draft Bradford in the upcoming draft. With many questions swirling around Sam Bradford and his shoulder, he came out on his pro day and shut everyone up. He preformed extremely well in front of pro scouts and I can confidently say that he will be a St. Louis Ram in 2010.
2. Detroit Lions – DT Ndamukong Suh – Nebraska
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 They have lacked a run stopper in the middle of their defensive line.
3. Tampa Bay Buccaneers – DT Gerald McCoy – Oklahoma
Tampa Bay has one of the easiest picks in the 2010 NFL mock draft if the Rams go with Sam Bradford. They will have the option of either DT that the Lions don’t draft. The Buccaneers have a glaring need on their defensive line and Gerald McCoy will be a great player for them in the 2010 season.
4. Washington Redskins - OT Russell Okung – Oklahoma State
Now that the Redskins traded for QB Donavan McNabb and have their quarterback position set for 2010 they will turn to their next glaring need which is their offensive line. Russell Okung is the top offensive tackle in the 2010 NFL draft and should be the Redskins first round pick in this years’ draft.
5. Kansas City Chiefs – OT Trent Williams – Oklahoma
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. Williams 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. 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 – RB C.J. Spiller – Clemson
C.J. Spiller is head over heals the best offensive playmaker in the 2010 NFL draft and has moved up for that very reason. I had him going to Seattle with their second 1st round pick but I think they will have to pick him with the 6th pick because I don’t believe teams will pass on him. He will immediately impact the Seahawks offense in 2010.
7. Cleveland Browns – S Eric Berry – Tennessee
The Browns could go with DT Dan Williams and that wouldn’t be a bad pick but I believe that they will have to take Eric Berry here. He is a tremendous athlete who will be the leader on the Cleveland defense. He should go higher in this year’s draft but do to the position he plays he has fallen to the 7th pick in my 2010 NFL mock draft.
8. Oakland Raiders – OT Bryan Bulaga – Iowa
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 Bryan Bulaga. This will be a tough pick for Al Davis but it should be the right one if he wants JaMarcus Russell to succeed.
9. Buffalo Bills – QB Jimmy Clausen – Notre Dame
The Bills could go with an offensive lineman with the 9th pick in the 2010 NFL draft but with the top three OT’s off the board I believe they will have to pick their QB of the future. If Clausen gets passed Buffalo, he could be waiting for awhile unless a team trades up for him like Cleveland did for Brady Quinn a few years ago.
10. Jacksonville Jaguars – DE Jason Pierre-Paul – South Florida
Pierre-Paul is an athletic defensive end who will dramatically improve the Jaguars pass rush in 2010. I have gone with many different players that Jacksonville could draft with the 10th pick in the 2010 NFL draft. I am going back to Jason Pierre-Paul even with the addition of Aaron Kampman this off-season.

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
March 1, 2010 by Administrator · 7 Comments
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.

2010 NFL Mock Draft 2nd Round
February 20, 2010 by Administrator · 1 Comment
NFL Draft 2nd Round
| 33 | St. Louis Rams | OLB Navorro Bowman - Penn State | Bowman could be a first round selection. Last year they drafted ILB James Laurinaitis and now they will help him by putting another impact defensive player by his side. |
| 34 | Detroit Lions | OG Vladimir Ducasse - UMass | Now that the Lions have their franchise QB in Matthew Stafford. Their next step is to work on protecting him. Ducasse will be the best available lineman in the 2nd round. |
| 35 | Tampa Bay Buccaneers | WR Arrelious Benn - Illinois | Tampa Bay also drafted their franchise QB last year. Josh Freeman played pretty well as a rookie. Now they will have to put playmakers around him. In my 2010 NFL mock draft Benn is the best playmaking WR available. |
| 36 | Kansas City Chiefs | CB Perrish Cox - Oklahoma State | Kansas City finished 22nd in the NFL in passing defense. Cox has prototypical height, weight, and speed for the NFL. He can also be used as a kick/punt returner. |
| 37 | Philadelphia Eagles | RB Jahvid Best - California | He is one of the top RB in the 2010 NFL draft. He could easily go in the first round but in my 2010 NFL mock draft he will slide and the Eagles will be happy to draft him. |
| 38 | Cleveland Browns | QB Colt McCoy - Texas | Everyone has been jumping on the Colt McCoy bandwagon this week before the draft. I believe this would be a great pick for Cleveland with Jake Delhomme there to tutor him. He can sit for a year or two and then step in when Delhomme's contract is done and be the franchise QB. |
| 39 | Oakland Raiders | DE Carlos Dunlap - Florida | The Raiders will be looking to make their defensive line younger. At the beginning of the football season Carlos Dunlap was one of the top rated 2010 NFL draft picks but throughout the year he has fallen. He has fallen due to his inconsistent play and his conduct off the field. In my 2010 NFL mock draft I have Dunlap falling to Oakland and I think it would be a good pick for them. |
| 40 | San Diego Chargers | CB Patrick Robinson - Florida State | The Chargers lost Cromartie to a trade with the Jets so they will have to replenish their secondary and Patrick Robinson will be the one they do it with. |
| 41 | Buffalo Bills | OT Rodger Saffold - Indiana | Currently in my 2010 mock draft I have the Bills taking Jimmy Clausen in the first round. With this pick they will have to continue to work on their offensive line. Some mock drafts have Saffold going in the first round so this could be a great pick by the Buffalo Bills. |
| 42 | Tampa Bay Buccaneers (Chicago) | CB Devin McCourty - Rutgers | Tampa Bay needs more depth in their secondary and McCourty will give them just that in my 2010 NFL mock draft. |
| 43 | Denver Broncos | ILB Brandon Spikes - Florida | If Spikes falls this far in the 2010 NFL draft then it will be a big steal for the Denver Broncos. Spikes is a very physical linebacker but his speed is something that has hurt his draft stock. |
| 44 | New England Patriots (Jacksonville) | DE Greg Hardy - Mississippi | New England will be looking to make their defensive line younger. Hardy has great NFL size to help him succeed at the next level. |

2ND ROUND >>>
2009 NFL Mock Draft
April 25, 2009 by Administrator · Leave a Comment
1. Detroit Lions – QB Matthew Stafford – Georgia
It is official that Matthew Stafford will be the #1 overall pick in the 2009 NFL draft. Friday night he signed a 6 year $72 million contract with the Lions. $41.7 of it is guarenteed. This deal is the richest given to a draft choice in draft history.
2. St. Louis Rams – OT Jason Smith – Baylor
Steven Jackson has had a tough time staying healthy during the 2008 season. With or without Jackson, St. Louis has struggled running the ball as well as protecting the QB. At the end of the season the Rams finished 25th in the NFL in rushing yards per game and 27th in the league in sacks allowed. They desperately need an offensive lineman to battle in the trenches. Jason Smith looks to be just a little bit better than Eugene Monroe. With the number two pick in the draft look for St. Louis to boost the line with Smith and expect the 2009 offensive production to increase.
3. Kansas City Chiefs – OLB Aaron Curry – Wake Forest
Kansas City finished the season 30th in the NFL in rushing yards given up per game which was about 160 yards. They also need to look at a pass rusher seeing as though they were worst in defensive sacks. They ended up with 10 sacks in 16 games in 2008. Aaron Curry will fill both of those needs. He can put pressure on the QB as well as fill the gaps and stop the opposing running game. I like the Chiefs taking Curry with the 3rd pick in the 2009 NFL draft.
4. Seattle Seahawks - QB Mark Sanchez – USC
Seattle could go with Virginia’s OT Eugene Monroe but they have shown a lot of interest in Mark Sanchez. This would be a great situation for Sanchez. He wont be thrown into the fire and will be able to learn from a great QB Matt Hasselbeck.
5. Cleveland Browns - DE Brian Orakpo – Texas
It is still up in the air whether Braylon Edwards will get traded. The Browns keep going back and forth with the New York Giants. If Edwards does get traded then the Browns need to draft a WR and that should be Michael Crabtree. As of now Edwards is still a Brown and there are a lot of needs on the defensive side of the ball so look for them to pick up a great pass rusher like Orakpo.
6. Cincinnati Bengals - OT Eugene Monroe – Virginia
The Bengals need to improve their offensive line and if Monroe falls to them this it should be a no brain pick. Monroe is a top tier offensive tackle and will help RB Cedric Benson and QB Carson Palmer who is coming off shoulder surgery.
7. Oakland Raiders – WR Jeremy Maclin
Maclin is a big time playmaker which the Raiders really like and will help out JaMarcus Russell. He only ran a 4.46 40-yard dash at the combine but with pads on he is a big time football player.
8. Jacksonville Jaguars - WR Michael Crabtree – Texas Tech
The Jaguars are looking to trade out of the 8th spot with someone who may want to move up and draft Mark Sanchez so don’t plan on Jacksonville staying here. In the past week they have signed Torry Holt who is a great receiver but is getting older. If Jacksonville stays at 8 and Crabtree is still available drafting him will turn last years weakness into the 2009 season’s strength.
9. Green Bay Packers – OT Andre Smith
The Packers need to upgrade their offensive line due to their tackles getting older. Smith stock dropped after the combine but recently it has risen a bit and would be a good pick by Green Bay.
10. San Francisco 49ers - OT Michael Oher
The QB position is up in the air but whoever it is they need to be protected. Oher has an amazing story and looks to be a good fit for the 49ers. Scouts are a little weary of his work ethic but his talent outweighs any flaws that he may have.

Two big holes that the Bills need to fill are DE and OT. If Michael Oher or Andre Smith falls to them at 11 then look for them to pick one of them up. If neither are around they will be able to pick up a very good pass rusher. Tyson Jackson’s stock has really risen in the past week and may even be pick in the top 10.
12. Denver Broncos – DT B.J. Raji – Boston College
Raji will probably not be drop this far and could be picked as high as 5th to the Cleveland Browns. The Broncos have a glaring need on the defensive line. It will be hard to pass on Raji who will be the best player on the board at this time.
13. Washington Redskins – DE Aaron Maybin – Penn State
Washington struggled to put pressure on the opposing QB last year and really hurt their defense. Maybin may have the quickest first step among the defensive ends in this draft and will be a great addition to the Redskins defensive line.
14. New Orleans Saints – CB Malcolm Jenkins – Ohio State
New Orleans could take Beanie Wells here but they like Pierre Thomas so I don’t think that they will really need to take him. Instead with the 14th pick they will look to fill a void in their defensive and that is safety or CB. Jenkins can play safety or CB so this will be a great pick for the Saints.
15. Houston Texans – ILB Ray Mauagula – USC
The Texans have been getting better on offense every year as long as their QB Matt Schaub stays healthy. Their defensive line has been stellar with their first overall pick a couple of years ago, Mario Williams. They just added Antonio Smith from the Cardinals who will help on the other side of Williams. Ray Mauagula will help add toughness in the middle of the defense. He displays outstanding speed and size and can track down RB’s.
16. San Diego Chargers – RB Chris Wells – Ohio State
The Chargers may help their defense by taking a LB but with L.T. getting old and injury prone now and not knowing if Darren Sproles can handle a full work load as the premier back. Wells will really help fill the questions at that position for San Diego.
17. New York Jets – Darrius Heyward-Bey – Maryland
The Jets are one of the teams that are interested in Sanchez and may move up to draft him. But losing Laveranues Coles to the Bengals opens up a gapping whole on offense. They will need another WR to go along side Jerricho Cotchery. Heyward-Bey is a speedy receiver which will be a great addition to their offense.
18. Denver Broncos (From Chicago) – DE Everette Brown – Florida State
The Broncos get this pick from Chicago in the Jay Cutler trade. I think that the Broncos benefit from this trade because they have many holes that need to be filled on the defensive side of the ball. Everette Brown will be a big help to defensive line by putting pressure on the opposing QB.
19. Tampa Bay Buccaneers – ILB Brian Cushing – USC
Cushing is a very strong and physical linebacker and that is what the Bucs are looking for. The released Derrick Brooks this off-season and Cushing will be a great replacement for the 2009 season.
20. Detroit Lions (From Dallas) – OT Eben Britton – Arizona
After passing on Jason Smith with the first overall pick and taking Matthew Stafford the Lions will have to get a offensive lineman to protect their new QB. Britton should still be on the board with the 20th pick and will be the best tackle in on the big board.
