First 3 rounds finished up of the draft this year. No trades involved in this. Took a few unusual routes here to make it more interesting then other mocks out there. Formatting was messed up and couldn't add compensatory picks.
| Round 1 | |||||
| 1 | St Louis | Sam Bradford |
QB | Oklahoma | Kyle Boller certainly is not the answer and Mark Bulger is gone. Bradford has really improved his game over the last few months and the Rams can't pass on him |
| 2 | Detroit | Ndamukong Suh | DT | Nebraska |
Best player in the draft. Helps a D-Line that was one of the worst last year. |
| 3 | Tampa Bay |
Gerald McCoy |
DT | Oklahoma | Tough to ignore Okung here, but the Bucs need upgrades on defense right now |
| 4 | Washington | Russel Okung | OT | Oklahoma St. | With trade talks for a LT out of the question now that McNabb is in DC, Skins need to keep him on his feet. |
| 5 | Kansas City | Eric Berry |
S |
Tennessee |
Improves their secondary right away with game changing abilities |
| 6 | Seattle | Trent Williams |
OT |
Oklahoma |
Pete Carrol really wants Taylor Mays, but needs to keep Whitehurst on his feet, I guess. |
| 7 | Cleveland | Earl Thomas |
S |
Texas |
Cleveland just misses on Berry, but still gets a great player with Thomas |
| 8 | Oakland | Brian Bulaga | OT | Iowa |
Need position and best tackle available |
| 9 | Buffalo | Jimmy Clausen | QB | Notre Dame | Bills need to move on with Edwards and Fitzpatrick. Clausen is a winner and has tons of experience. |
| 10 | Jacksonville | Joe Haden |
CB |
Florida |
BPA. Future replacement for Mathis and adds great depth in the pass happy AFC South. |
| 11 | Denver | Sergio Kindle | OLB |
Texas | Too good of a player to pass up. The best OLB for a 3-4 defense in this draft |
| 12 | Miami | Dan Williams | DT |
Tennessee | Would think about Derrick Morgan here to fill in for Porter, but Williams is a great DT |
| 13 | San Fran | Kyle Wilson |
CB |
Boise State |
Stock has been rising and he would be a great player to pair with Nate Clements |
| 14 | Seattle | CJ Spiller |
RB |
Clemson |
Need a weapon at RB? Spiller is deadly. |
| 15 | NY Giants | Rolando McClain | ILB |
Alabama |
Someone has to fill in for the loss of Pierce. McClain is a beast. |
| 16 | Tennessee | Derrick Morgan |
DE | Georgia Tech | D-Line has lost alot of power. Morgan is a great pass rusher. |
| 17 | San Fran | Brandon Graham | DE |
Michigan |
The 49ers defense all of sudden becomes one of the leagues most feared |
| 18 | Pittsburgh | Mike Iupati | OG |
Idaho |
This pick is in so many mocks, but it makes perfect sense. Iupati "plays like a Steeler" |
| 19 | Atlanta | Golden Tate | WR |
Notre Dame |
A great WR for Ryan. LB and DT is definitely an option here, but Tate is going to be a good WR. |
| 20 | Houston | Taylor Mays | S |
USC | Mays joins Cushing on a very underrated defense. |
| 21 | Cincinnati | Dez Bryant | WR | Oklahoma St. | Bengals really do not have many needs. With no TO, putting Bryant next to Chad will scare many defenses |
| 22 | New England | Jared Odrick | DE | Penn St. | NE front 7 is hurting right now and Odrick fixes that. |
| 23 | Green Bay | Bruce Campbell |
OT | Best school in the country |
Quite possibly the worst O-Line in the league next year. Campbell goes on to play for 15 years and making 16 pro bowls. Yes, 16. |
| 24 | Philadelphia | Carlos Dunlap |
DE |
Florida |
Need someone opposite Trent Cole. Weatherspoon could be a nice option here. |
| 25 | Baltimore | Terrence Cody | NT |
Alabama |
Cody and Ngata together for the next 8-10 years. Is that fair to the league? |
| 26 | Arizona | Sean Weatherspoon |
LB |
Missouri |
With Dansby gone, Arizona needs to fill that position. Spoon can play any of the LB spots. |
| 27 | Dallas | Maurkice Pouncey | C/OG |
Florida |
Great player to put on the inside of your line. |
| 28 | San Diego | Brian Price |
DT |
UCLA | Jamal Williams replacement |
| 29 | NY Jets | Damaryius Thomas | WR |
Georgia Tech |
Rex Ryan gets it right an actually gives his young QB young weapons to make a Superbowl run. |
| 30 | Minnesota | Devin McCourty | CB | Rutgers | Good option next to Winfield |
| 31 | Indianapolis | Charles Brown |
OT |
USC |
Seems to be the player Indy really wants. Otah and Brown at tackles is a nice combination. |
| 32 | New Orleans | Brandon Spikes | ILB |
USC | Maybe a reach here, but is a great replacement for Fujita. Underratd player. |
| Round 2 | |||||
| 33 | St Louis | Jason Pierre- Paul |
DE |
USF |
Spagnulo starts to put together a strong D-Line like he had with the Giants |
| 34 | Detroit | Chad Jones | SS | LSU | One of the most underrated DB in the draft. Good player to put next to Delmas. |
| 35 | Tampa Bay | Arrellious Benn |
WR | Illinois | New toy for Josh Freeman |
| 36 | Kansas City | Jermaine Gresham | TE |
Oklahoma |
Great value here. Bring Tony Gonzales like style to KC. |
| 37 | Philidelphia |
Ryan Matthews | RB |
Rutgers |
Good compliment to McCoy |
| 38 | Cleveland | Damian Williams | WR | USC | Robiskie is not a bust, yet. Brings good competition to a young group of WR. |
| 39 | Oakland | Donald Butler | ILB |
Washington |
Kirk Morrison could be leaving. Butler is a thumper. |
| 40 | San Diego | Johnathon Dwyer |
RB |
Georgia Tech | Good power back to compliment Sproles. |
| 41 | Buffalo | Roger Saffold |
OT |
Indiana |
Got to keep Clausen on his feet now. |
| 42 | Tampa Bay | Daryl Washington | OLB | TCU | Continue to build their defense. Washington is very versitile |
| 43 | Miami | Everson Griffen | DE |
USC | Parcells loves a strong front 7. Adding Griffen with Willams and their LB makes a very strong front 7. |
| 44 | New England | Jerry Hughes | OLB | TCU | Continue to improve a weak LB group, especially with Adalius Thomas gone. |
| 45 | Denver | Brandon LaFell |
WR |
LSU |
Don't think Marshall will be in Denver next year, so a new weapon could be an option. |
| 46 | NY Giants | Morgan Burnett | S | Georgia Tech | Good player to put next to Kenny Phillips. |
| 47 | New England | Javid Best |
RB | California | Maroney has been a complete failure. Best gives the Patriots a home run hitter which they have never had. |
| 48 | Carolina | Carlton Mitchell |
WR | South Florida | Steve Smith asked for another guy next to him, Mitchell is a sleeper WR IMO who can take some pressure off of Smith. |
| 49 | San Francisco | Vladimir Ducasse | OT/OG |
UMASS |
Opting to not select a OL in the first round, the 49ers get an elite athlete to protect Joe Smith. |
| 50 | Kansas City | Jermaine Cunningham |
DE |
Florida |
Helps their line greatly. |
| 51 | Houston | Patrick Robinson | CB |
Florida State |
Explosive CB to fill in for the loss of Dunta Robinson. |
| 52 | Pittsburgh | Kareem Jackson | CB | Alabama | With OL taken care of, Pitt adds depth to a shaky secondary. |
| 53 | New England | Rob Gronkowski |
TE |
Arizona | Another weapon for Brady and good compliment to Ben Watson. |
| 54 | Cincinnati | Anthony McCoy |
TE | USC |
Bengals offense just keeps getting more and more powerful |
| 55 | Philadelphia | Dominique Franks | CB | Oklahoma | Too good of value here to pass up |
| 56 | Green Bay | Eric Norwood | OLB | South Carolina | Solidifies maybe the best LB group in the NFL. |
| 57 | Baltimore | Jordan Shipley | WR | Texas | Perfect slot player, great route runner for Flacco. |
| 58 | Arizona | Nate Allen |
S |
USF |
Depth needed after losing Rolle. |
| 59 | Dallas | Koa Misi |
OLB |
Utah |
Tough player and adds depth to a strong LB crew. |
| 60 | Seattle | Rashad Jones |
S |
Georgia |
It was hard to pass on Berry in the first round, but Jones could start right away. |
| 61 | NY Jets | Ricky Sapp |
OLB |
Clemson |
Rex Ryan loves a hybird player. |
| 62 | Minnesota | Montario Hardesty | RB | Tennessee | Great value here to back up AD. |
| 63 | Indianapolis | Tyson Alualu |
DE/DT | California |
Relentless player to fill in for the loss of Brock. |
| 64 | New Orleans | Corey Wooten | DT | Northwestern |
Good back up at DT and will allow LB to move freely |
| Round 3 | |||||
| 65 | St. Louis | Aaron Hernandez |
TE |
Florida | Finally a weapon for Bradford. |
| 66 | Detroit | Dexter McCluster |
WR |
Ole Miss |
And you got to worry about Calvin as well? No thanks covering that. |
| 67 | Tampa Bay | Toby Gerhart |
RB |
Stanford | Derrick Ward hasn't panned out yet and who knows what you will get from Cadillac anymore |
| 68 | Kansas City | Perrish Cox |
CB |
Oklahoma St |
Desperately need help in the 2ndary |
| 69 | Washington | X | X | X | Forfeit for pick 2009 Supplemental Draft |
| 70 | Oakland | Colt McCoy |
QB |
Texas |
Poor Colt, his career goes down the drain because of Al Davis |
| 71 | Philadelphia | T.J. Ward | S | Oregon | DB help definitely needed to keep that defense intact. |
| 72 | Cleveland | Tim Tebow |
QB |
Florida |
Hopefully Cleveless fans don't throw bibles at him instead of beer bottles. |
| 73 | Buffalo | Cam Thomas | NT | North Carolina | Pairing Thomas with Edwards and Schobel makes a strong D-Line. |
| 74 | Miami | Taylor Price |
WR |
Ohio | Ginn and Bess are still good WR, Mitchell just adds more to that underrated group. |
| 75 | Jacksonville | Ciron Black |
OT |
LSU | Helps an O-Line that was killed with injuries last year. |
| 76 | Chicago | Jared Veldheer | OT | Hillsdale | Tackle that goes unnoticed because of his school, but perfect pick for Da Bears. |
| 77 | NY Giants | Arthur Jones |
DT |
Syracuse |
Steal at this spot. Great player for a 4-3. |
| 78 | Tennessee | Donovan Warren | CB | Michigan | Physical CB who could possibly start right away. |
| 79 | Carolina | Dennis Pitta |
TE |
BYU |
Smart TE, would be a good weapon for Matt Moore |
| 80 | San Francisco | Mike Johnson |
G | Alabama |
Steal here. Right player to breed into a starter. |
| 81 | Denver | Lamarr Houston |
DT |
Texas | Even though recent DT signing Jamal Williams and Justin Bannan are solid players, they are both 30+ years old. Houston adds great depth. |
| 82 | Houston | Ben Tate |
RB |
Auburn | Power back to compliment Slaton's speed. |
| 83 | Pittsburgh |
Darrell Stuckey |
S |
Kansas |
Adds depth to a safety position that was hurting last year. |
| 84 | Atlanta | Chris Cook |
CB |
Virginia |
Big CB who could possibly play safety. |
| 85 | Cincinnati | Alex Carrington |
DE | Arkansas St. |
Smart, physical DE who fits Cinci nicely |
| 86 | Cleveland | Geno Atkins |
DT | Georgia | Back-up in case Rodgers brings a bazooka on a train. |
| 87 | Green Bay | Akwasi Owusu-Ansah | CB | Indiana (PA) | Sleeper at CB. |
| 88 | Philadelphia | Sean Lee |
LB |
Penn State |
Injury prone, but a beast when healthy |
| 89 | Arizona | Amari Spievey | CB | Iowa | If Cromartie ever went down, Spivey would be a serviceable back-up. |
| 90 | Arizona | Dan LeFevous |
QB |
Central Michigan | Matt Leinhart might not be the answer. LeFevour could. |
| 91 | Dallas | Major Wright |
S | Florida |
Could replace Hamlin. |
| 92 | San Diego | Brandon Ghee |
CB |
Wake Forest | Depth for a secondary that lost it's best CB. |
| 93 | Cleveland | Ed Dickson | TE | Oregon |
A weapon for Tebow |
| 94 | Minnesota |
Matt Tennant |
C |
Boston College |
Good for an already solid O-Line |
| 95 | Indianapolis | Javier Arenas | CB | Alabama | This team loves loading up on fast, athletic CB. Arenas is just that |
|
96 |
New Orleans |
Joe McKnight |
RB |
USC | Great 3rd option behind Thomas and Bell |
