Mock Draft 3 Rounds

Been working on this for about 2 months. Still not satisfied with it, but it will do for now.

				Round 1
1	Carolina	Patrick Peterson	CB	LSU	Best player in this draft should go #1 overall. Though Ron Rivera loves a strong pass rush, Peterson is one of the best shutdown CB since Revis.
2	Denver	Marcell Dareus	DT	Alabama	While Fairley may have more upside, Dareus is nearly at his peak as a DT and is a damn good one. Denver gets a Haloti Ngata type talent.
3	Buffalo	Da'Quan Bowers	DE	Clemson	Bowers resembles Julius Peppers so much. Buffalo will enjoy that type of skill set. Pairing Bowers with NT Kyle Williams is going to cause alot of damage.
4	Cincinnati	Cam Newton	QB	Auburn	Mike Brown is their owner.
5	Arizona	Blaine Gabbert	QB	Missouri	With the uncertainty of a new CBA being in place before the draft, Arizona will need to make a move for a QB in case Kolb, Palmer or Bulger aren't available after. Gabbert will be able to get the ball to Fitz, don't worry about that
6	Cleveland	Julio Jones	WR	Alabama	Yup, Jones is taken before Green. Insane physical abilities with so much room to get better. Browns are building a pretty decent team and have a QB who I really like. McCoy to Julio will be a force to reckon with for a while.
7	San Francisco	Von Miller	OLB	Texas A&M	If Miller falls to #7, I don't see how the 49ers could pass on him. While SF already has a solid group of 3-4 LB, Miller is too good to pass up and immediately creates an insane LB combo of Willis and Miller
8	Tennessee	Nick Fairley	DT	Auburn	Tennessee misses Haynesworth's presence, so they replace that with a very, very good player. Fairley and last year's #1 pick Derrick Morgan should make for a great combo and help out one of the best secondaries in the league.
9	Dallas	Prince Amukamara	CB	Nebraska	Dallas underachieved last season considering how talented their roster is. They have a very solid defense already, and Prince just makes them better.
10	Washington	AJ Green	WR	Georgia	Best player here by far and is only going to make this team better. Only problem is, who will be throwing Green the ball?
11	Houston	Aldon Smith	DE/OLB	Missouri	Smith reminds me much of my own Terrell Suggs, and I think Wade Phillips is going to enjoy that type of talent to pair with Mario, Cushing and Ryans.
12	Minnesota	Cameron Jordan	DE	California	Jordan has the best technique at DE in this draft in my opinion. Pairing Jordan with Jared Allen makes their D-Line scary yet again.
13	Detroit	Jimmy Smith	CB	Colorado	Might seem too high to some people, but no one can deny that Smith has top 15 talent. Detroit looks past the character issues and addresses their biggest need. The Lions front 7 is too damn good to not have a solid CB like Jimmy Smith.
14	St. Louis	Robert Quinn	DE	North Carolina	Spagnulo has been building a pretty damn good defense since taking over and Quinn will only add to that. Great talent at a great spot in the draft for STL.
15	Miami	Mark Ingram	RB	Alabama	This seems to be the popular pick in most mocks, but it makes so much sense. As a Ravens fan, I see ALOT of Jamal Lewis when watching Ingram run, and the Dolphins will definitely enjoy that.
16	Jacksonville	Martez Wilson	ILB	Illinois	Jaguar fans may hate this one, but they need help in the middle of their defense in my opinion and Wilson is a freak athlete that can play every LB position. JAX has a history of reaching on players (Harvey and Alualu) so I could see them reaching again. I really like this pick for Jacksonville though, sorry if you don't.
17	New England	Tyron Smith	OT	USC	NE really wants to improve their defense, but Smith is a top 15 talent who drops to them.Their OL is still strong, but Smith makes it alot stronger.
18	San Diego	JJ Watt	DE	Wisconsin	What a steal at 18. Watt is a top 10 talent I think and grabbing him here is too good to pass up. He fits their scheme and what better of a name to have when being drafted by the Chargers?
19	New York Giants	Gabe Carimi	OT	Wisconsin	Solid player and pick for the Giants. Carimi can step in right away and start at either left or right tackle.
20	Tampa Bay	Ryan Kerrigan	DE/OLB	Purdue	Another typical pick in most mocks, but fits the Bucs so well. TB is going to have a great DL for years to come with McCoy and Price, and Kerrigan can rush the passer from
21	Kansas City	Phil Taylor	DT	Baylor	Taylor creates one of the best DL in the league playing alongside Dorsey and Jackson. He will allow Hali to fly free.
22	Indianapolis	Derrick Sherrod	OT	Miss. St	OL is the Colts biggest need. Sherrod is the best one available. Gotta keep Peyton healthy for as long as possible, because once he is gone they go to 8-8 for 20 straight seasons.
23	Philadelphia	Mike Pouncey	OG/C	Florida	Just an all around solid pick that makes sense for the Eagles. Improves the running game very much and protects Vick's abilities.
24	New Orleans	Corey Luiget	DT	Illinois	The Saints have a few options here, but Luiget gives NO a great option next to Ellis. Luiget is flying up draft boards.
25	Seattle	Ryan Mallet	QB	Arkansas	Hasselback's status with Seattle is up in the air right now and Clip Board Jesus is not the answer either. With the CBA uncertainties dealing with free agency, Mallet fills a possible need. He is a much better QB than people think.
26	Baltimore	Justin Houston	OLB	Georgia	Suggs 2.0, nuff said.
27	Atlanta	Adrian Clayborn	DE	Iowa	DE is one of the bigger needs for ATL and while Clayborn has some concerns, he goes to a well minded team that will know how to get the best out of him. Abraham and Clayborn could wreak havoc.
28	New England	Cameron Heyward	DE	Ohio St.	Prototypical 3-4 DE, and adds to a very, very strong defense. NE is on the rise of becoming one of the best defenses in the league if they can sure up their front 7, and Heyward can do that.
29	Chicago	Nate Solder	OT	Colorado	What a steal at this spot. Solder definitely needs some work, but with the state of the Bears' O-Line, he could very well start right away.
30	New York Jets	Muhammed Wilkerson	DE	Temple	Losing Jenkins and Ellis is going to hurt the strong NYJ defense, but Wilkerson can start right away and clear up some concerns.
31	Pittsburgh	Brandon Harris	CB	Miami	Alot of the players Pittsburgh would want before Harris are gone, but this is still a great pick for them and fills a need. While he may not be a true #1 CB because of his size, Harris and the underrated Ike Taylor make one of the best CB combinations in the league.
32	Green Bay	Jon Baldwin	WR	Pittsburgh	Maybe a reach here, but his talents will be put to good use by the great Aaron Rodgers. Driver only has a season or 2 left in him and Jones may be on the way out. Their offense just gets more dangerous with Baldwin in the mix.

Rounds 2 and 3 after the jump

			Round 2
33	New England	Torrey Smith	WR	Greatest School University	Sighhhh, New England yet again gets great value here. My fellow Terp goes on to be one of the best deep threats in the NFL with Tom Brady getting him the ball
34	Buffalo	Brooks Reed	OLB	Arizona	The Bills passed on Von Miller in the first round by taking Bowers, and still end up getting a top 5 OLB in the 2nd round.
35	Cincinnati	Marcus Cannon	OG	TCU	Gotta protect Newton.
36	Denver	Rahim Moore	S	UCLA	Moore is a first round talent who slips into the 2nd, but gives Denver a huge steal here.
37	Cleveland	Aaron Williams	CB	Texas	Another great pick for Cleveland to pair with Haden and move Eric Wright to a nickel/dime CB.
38	Arizona	Akeem Ayers	OLB	UCLA	Arizona passed on Von Miller in the first round for Gabbert. Ayers is a good fit now.
39	Tennessee	Jake Locker	QB	Washington	The Titans missed out on Gabbert and Newton in the first, but Locker definitely has the tools to run their offense. I think he could thrive if used correctly.
40	Dallas	Anthony Castonzo	OT	Boston College	Dallas is having a very good draft if it plays out this way. He is an ideal pass blocker to protect Romo.
41	Washington	Stephen Paea	DT	Oregon St.	Albert was Haynesworthless, Paea won't be. Might take him some time to get going, but the man has some great skills that fit Washington's defensive scheme.
42	Houston	Kyle Rudolph	TE	Notre Dame	Owen Daniels is still one of the best all-around TE in this league, but it seems like that injury really affects him. Rudolph gives Schaub another dangerous option in their high powered passing attack.
43	Minnesota	Colin Kaepernick	QB	Nevada	Kaepernick will definitely need some work at the next level and Minnesota is hoping they can address QB in free agency after the draft, but he could very well be a franchise QB if brought along the right way.
44	Detroit	Rodney Hudson	OG	Florida St.	Great value in the 2nd round. Hudson could start right away at either Guard position or possibly play Center. They must do something to keep Stafford on his feet and open up lanes for Jahvid Best.
45	San Francisco	Ras-I Dowling	CB	Virginia	San Francisco passed on Amukamara and Smith in the 1st because of Von Miller being available, so Dowling here makes alot of sense. He can start right away at the #2 spot next to Clements. The 49ers are building one hell of a defense if the draft plays out this way.
46	Denver	Luke Stocker	TE	Tennessee	I think Stocker has a chance to be the best TE down the road coming out of this draft. Denver has some serious weapons on the outside with Thomas, Lloyd and Royal and Stocker gives them another weapon in the middle.
47	St. Louis	Leonard Hankerson	WR	Miami	The Rams missed out on Jones and Green in the first and could very well trade up for one of them, but Hankerson is a great talent that Bradford can take advantage of.
48	Oakland	Curtis Brown	CB	Texas	Oakland really screwed themselves in trading their first round pick, but Brown is a solid pick here. With the loss of their stud #1 CB, Brown can be the start of rebuilding their CB group.
49	Jacksonville	Quinton Carter	FS	Oklahoma	The Jaguars need some help at Safety with already having a strong group of CB. Carter is an underrated player in a shallow Safety class.
50	San Diego	Danny Watkins	OG	Baylor	Another STEAL for San Diego. Watkins has a good chance to be a first round pick, but falls because of other concerns. While the Chargers do not need much help at Guard, Watkins is too good of a talent to pass up here.
51	Tampa Bay	Quan Sturdivant	ILB	North Carolina	Ruud might be on the way out and TB wants to sure up their front 7. Sturdivant is a perfect 4-3 ILB.
52	New York Giants	Kelvin Sheppard	ILB	LSU	The Giants would have loved to get Martez Wilson in the 1st, but Sheppard has a chance to contribute from week 1.
53	Indianapolis	Mikel Leshoure	RB	Illinois	Addai and Brown seem to be complimentary backs at this point (but so is their running game in general) and Leshoure has some elite talents. He would be just another compliment to Peyton and crew.
54	Philadelphia	Davon House	CB	New Mexico St.	Someone to play next to Samuel. House needs work, but I think he is the best CB available at this point
55	Kansas City	Randall Cobb	WR	Kentucky	I literally flipped a coin on this one between Cobb and Titus Young. Cobb is a great deep threat that would give KC a dangerous compliment to Bowe
56	New Orleans	Mason Foster	OLB	Washington	Another fast rise on most draft boards. Foster is the prototypical 4-3 OLB with his insane closing speed. Creates a great LB group with Vilma manning the middle.
57	Seattle	Stefan Wisniewski	C	Penn State	Wisniewski is a starting caliber Center and helps bolster the Seattle OL. Could play Guard as well.
58	Baltimore	Titus Young	WR	Boise St.	Finally someone who can run better than a 4.7 forty.
59	Atlanta	Bruce Carter	OLB	North Carolina	Atlanta continues the run of LB by adding Carter to play behind Clayborn.
60	New England	Benjamin Ijalana	OG	Villanova	NE double dips in OL in the first two rounds, giving them yet again another great pick. This draft is turning out to be too good for NE.
61	San Diego	Jerrell Jernigan	WR	Troy	I know SD likes tall WR, but Jernigan is like Sproles at WR.
62	Chicago	Allen Bailey	DE	Miami	Great depth behind Peppers and the other DL.
63	Pittsburgh	Joesph Barksdale	OT	LSU	The Pittsburgh OL is beat up real badly. With so many of the positions along the O-Line in question, Barksdale has a great chance to start at RT from day 1. Some people have Barksdale as a 3rd or 4th round pick, but I have him as a late 2nd for sure.
64	Green Bay	Sam Acho	OLB	Texas	Acho has a ton of power in rushing the power, which should be a nice compliment to Clay Mathews' speed on the other side.
				Round 3
65	Carolina	Marvin Austin	DT	North Carolina	Austin is a relentless pass rusher and great run stopper, and Carolina finally gets someone to put pressure on the QB so PP can shut down his WR.
66	Cincinnati	Ryan Williams	RB	Virginia Tech	Not sure if Benson will be back or not and even though Cinci fans are in love with Bernard Scott for some odd reason, he isn't an every down RB.
67	Denver	Brandon Burton	CB	Utah	Perrish Cox is still a work in progress next to Bailey and Burton can push for a starting spot.
68	Buffalo	Orlando Franklin	OT	Miami	Buffalo nailed on their first two picks on defense, now they get one of the most underrated tackles in this draft class.
69	Arizona	Dontay Moch	OLB	Nevada	Arizona needs help on off
70	Cleveland	Jurrell Casey	DT	USC	The Browns lost both Rodgers and Coleman this off season, and rightfully so. Casey used to be picked much higher in other mocks in the past, but falls here after under-performing last season.
71	Dallas	Christian Ballard	DE	Iowa	Ballard should be drafted in the 2nd round, but falls. Dallas hits on 3 of their biggest needs.
72	New Orleans	Deandre McDaniel	SS	Clemson	The Saints really don't need any help on offense and continue to improver their defense with the best SS in this class.
73	Houston	Jerell Powe	NT	Ole Miss	There is not much depth behind Okoye.
74	New England	Adrian Motten	OLB	Greatest School University	I have watched this guy first hand and he is a play maker. Can play any LB position in a 3-4, but will excel in
75	Detroit	Edmond Gates	WR	Abilene Christian	Love, love, love this pick for the Lions. Gates is a speedster WR who can take serious advantage of teams doubling Calvin Johnson. If Stafford can stay healthy, he would have a great chance to put up some serious numbers with those two.
76	San Francisco	Shane Vereen	RB	California	Frank Gore is still the man there, but Vereen can be a very good back up to an already strong running game.
77	Tennessee	Clint Boling	OG	Georgia	CJ2K is great on the outside, but Tennessee needs to help him more running in the inside. The Titans interior blocking was poor last season.
78	St. Louis	Daniel Thomas	RB	Kansas St.	Compliment to Steven Jackson.
79	Miami	Will Rackley	OG	Lehigh	Miami's OL stinks outside of Long. Rackley will start from day one and pave the way for Ingram.
80	Jacksonville	Christian Ponder	QB	Florida St.	I could very well see JAX taking Ponder in the 1st or 2nd or trading back into the 1st to take Ponder. Well they get him in the 3rd.
81	Oakland	James Carpenter	OT	Alabama	Good pick here to pair with the Greek God Bruce Campbell.
82	San Diego	Kendall Hunter	RB	Oklahoma St.	Sproles is going to be a free agent. Hunter is one of the better pass catching RB in this draft and SD loves throwing to their Backs.
83	New York Giants	Chimdi Chekwa	CB	Ohio St.	My 80th rated player drafted at 83 and takes advantage of one of the most dominant pass rushes in the league.
84	Tampa Bay	Ahmad Black	SS	Florida	Might not be a starter from day one, but has a chance in the future. TB is building a very, very good defense so far.
85	Philadelphia	Tyler Sash	SS	Iowa	Not sure if Mikell will be back or not, Eagles fans let me know please, but if not they will need someone to replace him. Sash is the 2nd best SS in this draft.
86	Kansas City	Jabaal Sheard	DE/OLB	Pittsburgh	Steal at this spot and adds to their already strong pass rush opposite Hali.
87	Indianapolis	John Moffitt	OG	Wisconsin	Indy double dips at OL to now block for Manning AND Leshoure.
88	New Orleans	Darell Scott	RB	Greatest School University	I think come the end of April, Scott is going to be considered a 3rd or 4th round pick. His speed is the best of all RB and has great pass catching abilities. Trust me, I know first hand how good this guy can be.
89	San Diego	Ian Williams	DT	Notre Dame	Could stand to add some weight if he is going to play in the 3-4, but one of the strongest DT in this draft.
90	Baltimore	Marcus Gilbert	OT	Florida	Gilbert can play both left and right tackle. Baltimore needs depth at nearly every OL position and Gilbert helps out ALOT.
91	Atlanta	DJ Williams	TE	Arkansas	Not too many people talk about Williams, but man does this guy have some freakish athletic abilities. Sitting behind HOF Tony Gonzalez for a season could turn this guy into a stud with Matt Ryan only getting better.
92	New England	Johnny Patrick	CB	Louisville	McCourty and Butler should be the starters for a while, but Patrick adds depth to an already strong secondary.
93	Chicago	Kendric Burney	CB	North Carolina	Burney is undersized, but is a relentless player. His style would fit in perfectly with Chicago as a nickel and dime CB.
94	New York Jets	James Brewer	OT	Indiana	The Jets OL should be set for right now, but Ducasse is still a mystery if he can start over Woody.
95	Pittsburgh	Kendrick Ellis	NT	Hampton	Ideal NT at nearly 350 pounds. While NT is not a huge need at the moment, Casey Hampton is getting up there in age and Ellis from Hampton could be a nice sub for him.
96	Green Bay	Jarvis Jenkins	DE	Clemson	Jenkins is up in the air for returning, so GB replaces him with a new Jenkins.
