[Buckeye33]

With the first pick in the 2010 Redszone Mock Draft the St. Louis Rams select: (Transferred over from other thread)

Defensive Tackle Ndamukong Suh from the University of Nebraska

http://www.mkrob.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/12/suh.jpg

With this selection the Rams hope to upgrade their defensive line from adequate to excellent.

[Kingspoint]

Which is what the RAMS should do if they have half a brain.

[Kingspoint]

Detroit Lions choose DT Gerald McCoy, Oklahoma Sooners

[Kingspoint]

Tampa Bay is on-the-clock.

[Buckeye33]

Team Selig left me a list since he would not be in town this weekend. He throws the first wrench into the draft early.

3. Sam Bradford, QB Oklahoma
- Reasoning: Without being able to land a DT, they go for "BPA" and select their new franchise QB.

http://www.sportsosphere.com/pics/sam_bradford_heisman.gif

[Mario-Rijo]

Tell ya what 33 since the Jets only have a 1st and 2nd and Chicago only has a 3rd go ahead and give me Chicago and I'll have 3 picks as well.

Sam Bradford? Didn't they just draft the kid from K-State in the 1st Round last year (and he looked pretty good)? Strange route to go for TB.

[Kingspoint]

Daniel Snyder is on-the-clock.

[Gallen5862]

The Washington Redskins select with the 4th pick RUSSELL OKUNG, OT, OKLAHOMA STATE. Here is a writeup on him. Redskins had wanted Bradford and not sure if Clausen should be drafted with 4th pick so get help on the offensive line.
http://www.draftcountdown.com/sub/Mock-Draft-A.php

The Chiefs have plenty of needs and could go in a number of different directions here but their offensive line play has been particularly troubling. In fact, Kansas City ranked among the worst in the league when it comes to sacks allowed. Oklahoma State’s Russell Okung isn’t an elite prospect in the mold of Tony Boselli, Jon Ogden or Orlando Pace but he has clearly emerged as the top offensive tackle in this class and will likely be a Top 10 pick. With good size, long arms, great strength, above-average athleticism and feet as well as top-notch intangibles, Okung is just a very good all-around blocker. Okung could slide into the starting lineup at either left or right tackle for the Chiefs and any investment in keeping franchise quarterback Matt Cassel upright is money well spent. As I mentioned the Chiefs have a lot of holes to fill, which certainly isn’t a good thing but it does give them a lot of options on Draft Day. Other possibilities could include Tennessee’s Eric Berry, who would be a huge upgrade at safety, or Alabama’s Rolando McClain, who could be the stud that they need to build their linebacking corps around. Don’t be surprised if they take a look at Oklahoma State’s Dez Bryant either because outside of Dwayne Bowe, who has been a frequent inhabitant of Todd Haley’s doghouse, they have little or nothing at the wide receiver position. However, the Chiefs have to find a way to move the ball and score points and the best way to do that is upgrade the o - line.

[Kingspoint]

And, the first Offensive Tackle is gone.

Like your write-up says, if KC didn't take him, then Seattle surely would have.

That also leaves Jimmy Clausen to the Seahawks, as KC already has their franchise quarterback in Cassell (they're paying him like one).

[Gallen5862]

I am willing to also draft for the Panthers. They are my Second favorite team after the Redskins. ESPN News reported this trade which effects our mock draft.

Arizona trades WR Anquan Boldin and a 2010 fifth-round pick to Baltimore for Ravens 2010 third- and fourth-round picks.

[Kingspoint]

I'll edit my reasons for my pick after KC picks, but the Seahawks are going to be taking QB Jimmy Clausen.

[Kingspoint]

Chiefs are on-the-clock.

[Hoosier Red]

THe Kansas City Chiefs select Eric Berry, Safety, Tennessee

[Kingspoint]

With WR Brandon Marshall arriving in Seattle tomorrow, it's likely that he doesn't leave without a contract. Paul Allen gets what he wants. You don't bring Brandon Marshall in so that the team can win in 2010. It's about the future.

The signing of Marshall may cost the Seahawks a 1st Round pick. Whether that's the #6 pick and all of the cost that goes with the #6 pick or the #14 pick, a pick much more affordable for the Broncos, or even a 2nd Round pick combined with something else, is yet to be determined.

But, if the Seahawks have to give up a 1st Round pick, then they won't be taking QB Jimmy Clausen because they HAVE to have a Left Tackle from this 1st Round. LT Okung would have been a no-brainer, but he's gone.

The Seahawks could wait and get USC's LT Charles Brown with their 2nd Round pick (the most likely scenario, and if the Seahawks need to trade up 10 picks to get him then they will).

So, because I think the Seahawks will use their 2nd Round pick on a LT, USC's Charles Brown, the Seahawks and Pete Carroll are going to use the #6 pick to get the team their new franchise Quarterback, Notre Dame's Jimmy Clausen.

Didn’t step up clutch in close games last year, but still had a hell of a statistical year for a mere junior throwing 28 touchdowns to 4 picks and averaging 8.8 YPA out of a pro style offense. It’s safe to say that while he lost a lot of close games, all 6 of his losses were by a touchdown or less, Notre Dame would have gotten destroyed without him. He played his best in big games and got absolutely no help from his defense. He has experience playing behind a poor offensively line, which he’ll likely have to do in the NFL if he goes top 5 as he’s projected, and he played most of last season through an injured foot, showing his toughness. He’s the top quarterback prospect in this draft class and gets a 98 rating. For the record, Matt Stafford got a 97 last year.

[Kingspoint]

Holmgren is on-the-clock.

[Ben]

With the 7th overall pick in the 2010 NFL Draft, the Cleveland Browns select:

Dez Bryant WR Oklahoma State

Analysis: With the trade of Braylon Edwards last season, the Browns are severely limited in big time playmakers who can stretch the field. Mohammad Massaquoi and Bryan Robiskie are promising young recievers, and with the selection of Dez Bryant, the Browns recieving corp will be set for the next 5 years. Now, who will get them the ball?

[Buckeye33]

I left Joseph a PM and he's been on quite a few times since I sent it and posted in other threads so I'm going to go ahead and make the pick so we can keep this moving.

With the 8th pick the Oakland Raiders select Bruce Campbell, OT, Maryland.

http://terrapintrail.com/files/2009/12/Campbell.jpg

After his incredible performance at the combine our owner sent out the yearly memo that told us to take the player who had the most freakish combine results and this year Campbell won that contest. At least it is actually a position that we need help with.

It came down to Campbell, Mays, and Pierre-Paul.

[KoryMac5]

With the 9th pick in the Redszone NFL Mock Draft the Buffalo Bills select:

Anthony Davis OT Rutgers



Quote from the Bills front office: We would have liked to have latched on to that franchise QB this draft unfortunately none were available. However we feel that Anthony Davis will become a fixture of our offensive line for years to come. He's light on his feet, and has a strong lower body. We feel he is quick enough to handle todays speed rushers off the edge.

[JaxRed]

After desparately working the phones for the allotted 10 minutes trying to trade down, Jags GM Gene Smith goes for best player available at a position of need and selects

Georgia Tech DE Derrick Morgan http://a.espncdn.com/photo/2009/0323/ncf_g_dmorgan_576.jpg

The Jags considered Pierre-Paul who has more upside but also bust-potential. The Jags can't afford a bust, so they went the safe route.

[camisadelgolf]

http://broncotalk.net/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/2008/04/brianxanders.jpg
Hi, I'm Brian Xanders. As GM of the Denver Broncos, my primary job is to receive trade requests from disgruntled players' agents. We managed to get rid of Jay "It's Time to Test My Blood Sugar" Cutler, and at the moment, we're entertaining the idea of trading Brandon "Soon to Be Arrested Again" Marshall, but with Dez Bryant already gone, we're going to do whatever we can to keep him in the fold. Keeping that in mind, we'll look at wide receivers later in the draft.

For our first pick, we considered Joe Haden, who we believe is the best cornerback in the draft. Our secondary isn't getting any younger, and we feel he could blossom into our next Champ Bailey. But as much as we like him, we have bigger needs and think we can worry about our secondary next year.

Our once-elite offensive line could use a little help, but we like our tackles and it's just too early to take an interior lineman at this point in the draft.

To be honest, we're more concerned about how teams ran against us late in the season. In fact, it was flat-out embarrassing, but with the best defensive tackles already taken, we're going to look to improve at another position.

Therefore, with the 11th pick of the 2010 RedsZone NFL Mock Draft, the Denver Broncos select Rolando McClain, inside linebacker, Alabama.
http://assets.sbnation.com/assets/140064/rolandomcclain.jpg

We love McClain's physical style of play and feel he's a perfect fit for our 3-4 defense. Not only that, but this allows us to move Andra Davis back to the outside where he belongs. McClain is athletically gifted (although granted, not an elite athlete), has an incredibly high football IQ, and is extremely coachable. We're getting a great locker room guy who's going to make an impact for us immediately.

Dear NFL,

Good luck. The only thing that can get in the way of our playoff hopes now is Kyle Orton.



Sincerely,
The Denver Broncos

P.S.
Anyone have a quarterback they don't need? Please?
http://horsecollar.files.wordpress.com/2009/08/kyle-orton-stoned-medium.jpg

[Sean_CaseyRules]

With as crappy as the Phin's deep guys looked last year, they need to sure up thier passing defense. So with the 12th overall pick in the 2010 NFL Draft, the Miami Dolphins select Taylor Mays, Safety, USC.

http://www.ocregister.com/newsimages/2008/11/13/B78430246Z.1_20081113192747_000+G9MF6269.1.jpg

The overhaul of the secondary continues. After drafting two corners in the first two rounds last year, the Phin's now grab the jumbo safety from Southern Cal. Mays was the second fastest player at the combine and had an excellent showing overall.





Edit: The link says Taylor Mays Hit, but all at once, so the curse word filter won't let me post a picture, so I had to find another picture.

[HotCorner]

[HotCorner]

With the 13th pick of 2010 NFL Draft the San Francisco 49'ers select Trent Willaims, OT, Oklahoma.

http://media.scout.com/Media/Image/66/666746.jpg

The offensive line, especially tackle, was a major area of need. This pick helps address it.

[Kingspoint]

The Seahawks can't pass on Iowa T Brian Bulaga.

A very athletic offensive tackle who has had some trouble with injuries in the past, but he has the ability to play both left and right tackle at the next level. He moves well for his size and has big upside, but too often gets knocked over and doesn’t use his size with good leverage.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-DYk6GzwHC4


It was really hard to pass on Texas S Earl Thomas. As Pete Carroll leaned more towards Thomas. But, he told Paul Allen that either player would be an excellent pick. Paul Allen made the final decision as he thought it best to "attempt" to protect both Hasselbeck and their new franchise Quarterback, Clausen.

[Kingspoint]

The Gints are on-the-clock.

[Puffy]

The New York Football Giants select CJ Spiller, RB, Clemson.

Not a huge need but he is too good to pass up and the Giants have been successful with Earth Wind and Fire before Derrick Ward left for Tampa so we are gonna reinvent it.

[Caveat Emperor]

Team Selig left me a list since he would not be in town this weekend. He throws the first wrench into the draft early.

3. Sam Bradford, QB Oklahoma
- Reasoning: Without being able to land a DT, they go for "BPA" and select their new franchise QB.

A year after spending a 1st round draft pick on Josh Freeman to be their franchise quarterback, they go and draft ANOTHER quarterback?

At least it's not Eric Berry.

[JaxRed]

While we're killing time..... there is next to no interest in Tebow in Jax unless he falls to like the 4th round. A local radio guy not known for his hyperbole says people that know Tebow's agent say that despite a lot of critique, he will not make it out of the first round.

The interested teams are supposedly Cleveland, Washington, Seattle, New England and Oakland. And he said his most likely scenario that had Tebow in first round was Bradford and Claussen gone at picks 1 and 4, and then Seattle taking him with their 2nd first round pick.

[Slyder]

I left Joseph a PM and he's been on quite a few times since I sent it and posted in other threads so I'm going to go ahead and make the pick so we can keep this moving.

With the 8th pick the Oakland Raiders select Bruce Campbell, OT, Maryland.

http://terrapintrail.com/files/2009/12/Campbell.jpg

After his incredible performance at the combine our owner sent out the yearly memo that told us to take the player who had the most freakish combine results and this year Campbell won that contest. At least it is actually a position that we need help with.

It came down to Campbell, Mays, and Pierre-Paul.

This is very Al Davis-ish. Another "impressive physical specimen" just like Darrius Heywood-Bey and JaLard Russell... There are worst picks (like Taylor Mays whom I would hang up the colors until Al Davis DIES if selected) but Campbell is not one that I want to risk on. We reached for Mario Henderson a couple years ago for many of the same reasons. We need football players. If Al has to take a bit of a Project I would be in favor of it being USF DE Pierre-Paul. Liked him everytime I saw USF played, there is absolutely no question this guy has the size, motor, and desire to work unlike previous 1st round pick JaLardy McDonald or a track guy out of his element Darrius Heywood Bey.

There are worst picks (like Mays whom I would hang up the colors for until the day after Al Davis DIES) but Campbell just leaves me shaking my head as Al Davis still doesnt know the games moved away from the genetic freaks to actual football players.

[Red Heeler]

In desperate need of a pass rush, the Tennessee Titans select University of South Florida defensive end Jason Pierre-Paul.

[Kingspoint]

Anyway you can do your "update" on the first post of this thread? It would make a whole lot more sense than to have to filter through posts and pages to find where you've placed your "latest update".

[Kingspoint]

... and then Seattle taking him with their 2nd first round pick.

Hell will freeze over first.

[Kingspoint]

Wow!

2 picks in 24 hours, and we're in the middle of the 1st Round. It's not like these picks are difficult or anything.

Now I see why you had to start at the beginning of March.

At this rate, we might be done by OTA's.

[Buckeye33]

Anyway you can do your "update" on the first post of this thread? It would make a whole lot more sense than to have to filter through posts and pages to find where you've placed your "latest update".

No, you could only update a post for a few hours, after that you can not do it. Just look on the last page of the thread and there should be an updated list by me or someone else.

The draft isn't until the end of April, we'll be done with this Mock well before the actual draft.

Never even thought about that.

The GODS should give you "extra powers" for this thread.

:thumbup:

Maybe if you petitioned them, they might give you a temporary boost in powers.

[HotCorner]

With the 17th pick of 2010 NFL Draft the San Francisco 49'ers select Joe Haden, CB, Florida.

http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_8ssNdLxsaxU/S0EXUaZYB9I/AAAAAAAAFgU/malKUg374mQ/s400/haden_joe_1.jpg

This selection fills the second biggest need for the 49'ers. They couldn't be happier to have a player of Haden's caliber fall to them at 17.

[HotCorner]

Round 1:

1. St. Louis (1-15) - Ndamukong Suh, DT, Nebraska
2. Detroit (2-14) - Gerald McCoy, DT, Oklahoma

32. New Orleans (13-3) - Buckeye33

[Slyder]

With the 18th pick of the first round the Pittsburgh Steelers select Mike Iupati Guard from Idaho.

Theres no one on the board that addresses a bigger need than to keep Ben or whoever the QB is upright for the game. I didn't see a LB or safety worth taking at this point and you can usually find 3-4 Nose Tackles later in the draft which is why I passed on Mt. Cody.

[Homer Bailey]

This one's almost too easy :D

[Kingspoint]

This is going at a snail's pace. Why did people sign up if they don't want to participate?

[Homer Bailey]

People signed up so they could draft when they are ready.

Guess I'll check back next month.

The Atlanta Falcon nab Kyle Wilson, CB Boise State

[Homer Bailey]

With the 20th pick in the 2010 NFL draft, the Houston Texans select.....


Earl Thomas, Safety from the University of Texas.

http://www.halfbrokehotel.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/11/Earl.jpg

Don't have time for a whole write-up, and wouldn't want to slow down this process :rolleyes:

[WMR]

Cincinnati Bengals select ....



Dan Williams, Defensive Tackle, from the University of Tennessee.

http://media.govolsxtra.com/media/img/photos/2008/11/22/vandyut20.asb2310704_t607.jpg

We believe Dan will make an immediate impact upon our defense and be a huge asset on the defensive line.

The New England Patriots are heading into this draft with four picks in the first two rounds (three second round selections). The Patriots were thrashed by Baltimore in the first round of the playoffs and age is starting to catch up, especially on the defensive side of the ball.

With that in mind, there are three big needs on this side of the ball: OLB, ILB, and DE. A TE is also a possibility with Ben Watson a FA, and even more intriguing given Jermaine Gresham is on the board.

Our final candidates are:
Sean Witherspoon(OLB/ILB-Missouri)
Brandon Graham(DE/OLB-Michigan)
Sergio Kindle(DE/OLB-Texas)
Jared Odrick(DE-Penn State)
Jermaine Gresham(TE-Oklahoma)

With the 22nd selection, the New England Patriots select:

http://media.lehighvalleylive.com/sports_impact/photo/jared-odrick-45633d190f8bb07c_large.jpg

Jared Odrick, DE from Penn State University.

Odrick will step in and replace the presence that was lost when Richard Seymour was dealt to the Raiders. Almost a similar style of player and identical to another Penn State alum, Aaron Smith who is a DE for the Steelers.

[Sea Ray]

Cincinnati Bengals select ....



Dan Williams, Defensive Tackle, from the University of Tennessee.


We believe Dan will make an immediate impact upon our defense and be a huge asset on the defensive line.

You think they'd pass up Bryan Price of UCLA in order to take Dan Williams? God I hope not...

[Mario-Rijo]

Jared Odrick, DE from Penn State University.

Odrick will step in and replace the presence that was lost when Richard Seymour was dealt to the Raiders. Almost a similar style of player and identical to another Penn State alum, Aaron Smith who is a DE for the Steelers.

Excellent selection WVR I was looking to possibly take Odrick myself for the Jets, few pure 3-4 ends available in this area of the draft.

[WVRed]

You think they'd pass up Bryan Price of UCLA in order to take Dan Williams? God I hope not...

Price is a better fit than Williams IMO. Williams is more of a 3-4 nose tackle. Don't see the Bengals going that route either since its not Zimmer's specialty.

Then again, I would have went offense. :)

[reds44]

With the 23 pick in 2010 NFL draft, the Green Bay Packers select Charles Brown, OT, USC

Disagree, Williams would be just fine in a 3-4 or a 4-3.

And he's better than Bryan Price, IMO.

[Sea Ray]

What I can't figure out is that everyone here knows I'm a shill for the SEC and Tennessee in particular yet I'd be mad as hell if the Bengals took Williams while Price was still on the board...:confused:

[Redlegs212]

With the 24th overall pick, the Philadelphia Eagles select Carlos Dunlap, DE Florida. We look for Dunlap to team with Trent Cole as a dynamic duo at Defensive End.

http://behindtheboxscore.files.wordpress.com/2009/08/carlos-dunlap.jpg

[LoganBuck]

With the 25th Pick the Baltimore Ravens select Sergio Kindle OLB/DE University of Texas

http://whatthebuc.net/wp-content/uploads/2009/11/sergio-kindle1.jpg

This selection gives the Ravens an infusion of youth into their front seven.

[WMR]

What I can't figure out is that everyone here knows I'm a shill for the SEC and Tennessee in particular yet I'd be mad as hell if the Bengals took Williams while Price was still on the board...:confused:

I didn't draft him because he wore that ugly orange, I drafted him because he's the 3rd best DT in the draft and I think he'd be a hell of an addition to an already tough Bengal defense.

[TeamSelig]

Since we are on a year long break, I'd like to defend my pick (Bradford to Tampa @ 3rd)

I really wanted a DT, but they went the first two picks. Picking the third best DT that high would have been idiotic. I also didn't think it would be wise to pick a safety that high, even though it was a position of "need"... So I just with what I felt was the BPA in Bradford.

What I didn't realize was that Freeman was a 1st Rd pick just last season. Personally I don't know much about him. I looked at his stats and I don't see how he could ever be a starting QB, then again, I don't know much about his hype, collegiate career, or upside. 10 TDs and 18 INTs made me think that even as a rookie, it didn't look good. (This was before I saw that he was a 1st Rd pick). If I could do it over, I would probably just pick Berry.

Realistically though, I would have: a) Traded up for Suh b) Traded up for McCoy or c) Found a team that wanted Bradford/Claussen and traded down.

The one question I do have for you Team Selig is this - knowing Troy Polumalu and Ed Reed, if you had a time machine and went back to the years they were drafted would you use a number 3 on either of them?

I ask because (1) I would, and (2) if you believe, as I do, that Berry can be a game changing safety in their mold (if not as good at least close) then wouldn't you pick him there?

Again, if your answer is no to the time machine part of the question than I understand. Also, if it is you just don't think Berry is in their class then I understand too. So I am just curious where you stand :)

[HeatherC1212]

With the 26th pick in this year's draft, the Arizona Cardinals select Sean Weatherspoon, a senior OLB out of Missouri to upgrade the linebacking corps. Please check out this link (http://www.nfldraftdog.com/2010-nfl-draft/sean-weatherspoon.html) for a good writeup about Weatherspoon.

http://www.nfldraftdog.com/draftdogimages/2010%20prospects/sean_weatherspoon.jpg


(Thanks for being patient with me! :))

[NJReds]

With the 27th selection, the Cowboys select: Maurkice Pouncey (C/G) Florida.

Cowboys need youth on the o-line and Pouncey can play multiple positions.

[Kingspoint]

Used to drafting future Pro Bowlers in the first three rounds more than any other team in the NFL over the last 10 years, the San Diego Chargers continue their prolific scouting of players by adding another future Pro Bowler, Notre Dame WR Golden Tate. While Charlie Weis' other WR's have not fared well in the NFL, Golden Tate is an exception.

Vehemently answering questions about his speed, Tate appeared to lock up the distinction of being this draft's No. 2 receiver prospect by running an official forty of 4.42 in Indianapolis. The Hines Ward clone is a first-round pick. San Diego seemed destined to draft the best Defensive Tackle available after losing NT Jamal Williams to Free Agency. But, available DT Brian Price better fits the 4-3 system of Mike Zimmer's Bengals than the 3-4 system of Ron Rivera. The product of a pro-style system, Tate would alleviate double teams from Vincent Jackson's side of the field.

Vincent Jackson and Antonio Gates won't be seeing double-teams with Golden Tate spreading opposing Defenses. Who needs a stinkin' Runningback? The Chargers will throw the ball 70% of the time.

I would draft them @ 3, but I'm not convinced Berry is a lock to be at their level. It just seems risky to draft him hoping he can be at that level.... a level that is not often achieved.

[Mario-Rijo]

After a massive amount of passionate internal deliberation....

The New York Jets with the 29th selection in the 2010 NFL Draft select: Brandon Graham OLB, University of Michigan

http://assets.sbnation.com/assets/86398/34519981_medium.jpg

We as an organization felt that with our emphasis on a ball control offense it's imperative we do everything possible to improve our pass rush on the defensive side of the ball so as to keep teams from gaining an edge thru the air. With our recent activity shoring up the secondary with the additions of Antonio Cromartie at CB and soon to be signed Brodney Pool at Safety we needed to turn up the pressure on the QB's in the league to take advantage of our strengths on defense. Brandon is a fine player from a strong conference in which he dominated opposing offenses. Bottom line is he is a sound overall football player who excels at getting after the QB and has solid intangibles. He's an excellent compliment to what we want to do as a team.

[Homer Bailey]

Mario.... I thought you were drafting Tebow after looking at that picture. Phew!

[Buckeye33]

With the 30th pick in the NFL draft the Minnesota Vikings select Terrence Cody, DT, Alabama.

With the Williams boys not getting any younger and Kevin possibly retiring before next season we felt we had to get a replacement for the DT. And Mount Cody fills the run stuffing beast that our defense is based off of.

[chicoruiz]

Indianapolis was hoping for more of a pure run-stuffer, and crossing their fingers that Dan Williams would be there. But failing that, they're very happy to select:



http://heismanpundit.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/08/price.jpg



DT Brian Price of UCLA

Not the big two-gap DT we were hoping for, but a smart, agile 300-pounder who will provide some inside pass rush to go with the outside rush from Freeney and Mathis. Ask the USC player seen in this photo about him.

[Buckeye33]

Your Super Bowl XLIV champions are proud to announce with the 32nd pick in the 2010 NFL draft we select Everson Griffin, DE, USC.

After cutting Charles Grant we are down to only 2 healthy DEs currently and Mr. Griffin has the size and experience playing for USC to come in from day 1 and have the ability to start opposite Will Smith.

The Detroit Lions are shocked to find their MLB for the next ten years to be sitting there for the taking with the #2 pick of the second round.

The Lions pick:

Brandon Spikes LB University of Florida

They fully expect Spikes to be what Chris Spielman was to their defense two decades ago

[TeamSelig]

With the third pick in the second round, the Tampa Bay Buccaneers select....

Yes, Thomas is a has more production and is a bigger faster player. Thomas is going to be ok by training camp, and he has a taped 40 run at 4.38 seconds. Benn has never caught more than 5 passes in a game. While I like Benn's potential he is definitely below Thomas on my board.

[Gallen5862]

I was told to pick in a pm. The Washington Redskins select RB Jahvid Best, California

[Hoosier Red]

I considered Saffold the OT from IU and Carlos Dunlap or Jerry Hughes for the D-Line but again fell back to taking the best player on the board.

[Ben]

With the 6th pick of the second round of the 2010 NFL Draft, the Cleveland Browns select:

Ryan Matthews, RB Fresno State University

With the F.A. addition of TE Ben Watson and the selection Dez Bryant in the first round, the Browns are trying to improve their dreadful offense from a year ago. With the addition of Ryan Matthews, the Browns have the necessary weapons to take the pressure off whomever is going to be the Quarterback in 2010. Even though Jerome Harrison had a great 2nd half to the 2009 season, his diminutive size will not stand up to the pounding of a full season. In selecting Matthews, the Browns have found a pounder capable of toting the rock 25-30 times a game.

[Kingspoint]

With the 8th pick of the 2nd Round, The Seattle Seahawks 1st Choice is Rutgers CB Devin McCourty.

If Oakland takes him then the Seahawks will take Florida C/G Maurkice Pouncey.


The Seahawks had the worst starting Cornerbacks in the NFL in Ken Lucas and Marcus Trufant. Lucas flat out stinks and won't be retained this season. Trufant stunk much worse last season, but the Seahawks have to pay him a $3M bonus in March that's guaranteed. Trufant and the Seahawks are hoping that his horrible play last season was due to his bulging disc that landed him on the PUP the first part of the season. Trufant said he was healthy. If he was healthy, then he's not going to earning the $5.7M contract due him as a Nickel Back. He'll have to prove he can start. I don't think he'll start over McCourty.

The Seahawks need help on the entire Offensive Line other than versatile 2009 1st Round pick Max Unger and newly acquired Ot Brian Bulaga. But, Rob Sims and Chris Spencer have both become liabilities on the roster. Adding the highly versatile and effective Pouncey, who can play G/C/RT, the Seahawks "new zone-blocking scheme" will be a match made in heaven for the versatile Unger and Pouncey, both highly intelligent players.

[Joseph]

With the 7th pick of the second round, the Oakland, Los Angeles, California Raiders select

Jerry Hughes, DE/OLB, TCU

[Kingspoint]

If Oakland takes him then the Seahawks will take Florida C/G Maurkice Pouncey.


Probably a good thing you took McCourty because I believe Dallas would have had a problem with you taking their first round pick. :)

[Buckeye33]

KoryMac5 was not going to have internet access this weekend so had me pick for him and wanted a WR in the 2nd round.

Sean_Casey left me his pick in a PM to make for him.

The Miami Dolphins select Mardy Gilyard, WR, Cincinnati

http://whatthebuc.net/wp-content/uploads/2009/11/mardy-gilyard1.jpg

[Redlegs212]

Good pick right there

[WVRed]

The Patriots are on the clock again, and shortly after the selection of Jared Odrick, there came news that Ben Watson, our only TE left on the roster, had opted to sign with Cleveland, leaving us empty in that position.

The good news is that our option in the first round is still on the board, and while we couldn't be happier, there is a debate to who would be a better fit. Jermaine Gresham is recovering from injury and would be a legitimate end zone target and a better blocker, but Aaron Hernandez is a better pass catching threat and the smaller TE that the Patriots have been known to love.

With that being said, the New England Patriots select Jermaine Gresham, TE from the University of Oklahoma:

http://i.cdn.turner.com/si/multimedia/photo_gallery/0908/cfb.top.10.big.12/images/jermaine-Gresham.jpg

Gresham will be an instant impact player for us and will be a reliable target for Tom Brady in no time.

[Caveat Emperor]

Since we are on a year long break, I'd like to defend my pick (Bradford to Tampa @ 3rd)

I really wanted a DT, but they went the first two picks. Picking the third best DT that high would have been idiotic. I also didn't think it would be wise to pick a safety that high, even though it was a position of "need"... So I just with what I felt was the BPA in Bradford.

Realistically though, I would have: a) Traded up for Suh b) Traded up for McCoy or c) Found a team that wanted Bradford/Claussen and traded down.

There isn't a team in the NFL that would invest Top-5 pick money in a rookie QB one year removed from drafting a first-round. That's tying up WAY too much money (and way too much draft-value) into a single position that can only have 1 starter. Even the Buccaneers, as ineptly run as they are, would never do something like that.

As far as Eric Berry goes -- total pass on him. Even if he is the next Ed Reed or Troy Polamalu, his skills would be wasted in a team that runs a Cover-2 as their base formation. In most defensive schemes, he'd be back in deep coverage support and not allowed to freelance in the middle of the field looking for the football. Further, Tampa already has a very good young free safety (Tanard Jackson) -- they need a thumper that can play SS and get physical with people in the box (see: John Lynch in his prime). Those kind of players can be found later in the draft.

I'm banned for quite some time, so for the sake of moving things along, I'm going to make the Broncos' next pick and not log on until the ban is over.

The Denver Broncos select J.D. Walton, center, Baylor. Now that Casey Wiegmann is gone, we need a huge upgrade on the interior line, and we feel we're getting, by far, the best center available.

[WVRed]

Forgot there was only three picks in between.

Now for quite possibly the pick that everybody has been waiting for.

The New England Patriots addressed two areas of concern, one with selecting Jared Odrick to replace the presence lost by Richard Seymour's departure, the other being TE Jermaine Gresham after losing Ben Watson to the Browns.

The Patriots were looking last year to join the Wildcat bandwagon and were looking at WVU star Pat White as a potential option before he went to Miami. This year, there is a more intriguing pro prospect who is going to have to be reinvented, but during the short term can be used in said Wildcat formations and could even see time at other positions.

Without further adieu, the New England Patriots select:

http://anotherbeautifulday.files.wordpress.com/2010/01/tim-tebow-pictures-17.jpg

Tim Tebow, QB, University of Florida.

Tebow gives the Patriots somebody they can afford to keep and groom as the potential heir apparent to Tom Brady over the next 3-4 years long term, and gives them a potential Wildcat option in the short term.

Patriots picks so far:
DE-Jared Odrick
TE-Jermaine Gresham
QB-Tim Tebow

[WMR]

Welp, at least now we know who's going to be winning the next few SBs.



You know who Tebow has on his side, right? ;)

The Patriots were looking last year to join the Wildcat bandwagon and were looking at WVU star Pat White as a potential option before he went to Miami. This year, there is a more intriguing pro prospect who is going to have to be reinvented, but during the short term can be used in said Wildcat formations and could even see time at other positions.
Without further adieu, the New England Patriots select:

http://anotherbeautifulday.files.wordpress.com/2010/01/tim-tebow-pictures-17.jpg

Tim Tebow, QB, University of Florida.

Tebow gives the Patriots somebody they can afford to keep and groom as the potential heir apparent to Tom Brady over the next 3-4 years long term, and gives them a potential Wildcat option in the short term.

Patriots picks so far:
DE-Jared Odrick
TE-Jermaine Gresham
QB-Tim Tebow

Pat White is the better Wildcat model.

[WVRed]

Pat White is the better Wildcat model.

Possibly, but Tebow is more or less a luxury pick. Outside of possibly the Colts, no other team could really pick Tebow this early and hold onto him for 3-4 years and develop him to take over in the long term. Short term, he could be a change of pace type QB who is used on rushing plays or even an HB option.

The Patriots excel in trickery, and Tebow gives them another option to account for.

[WMR]

I love the Tebow pick. With 3 2nd rounders, why not?

I don't think Tebow will make it out of the 2nd round, myself.

[WVRed]

I love the Tebow pick. With 3 2nd rounders, why not?

I don't think Tebow will make it out of the 2nd round, myself.

I loved the fact that Gresham was available in the second round with no TE's on the Patriots roster.

Believe it or not, I was really struggling with taking Aaron Hernandez over Gresham. Gresham has the most potential, but Hernandez fits what the Patriots do a lot better.

[Buckeye33]

31. Indianapolis* (14-2)
32. New Orleans* (13-3)

[Buckeye33]

I don't think anyone is set to pick for Carolina. I'll make the pick.

The Carolina Panther get a WR to try to take some pressure off of Steve Smith and select Damian Williams, WR, USC.

http://eppsnet.com/images/usc-song-girls.jpg

Oh wait, here is the guy we drafted if anyone cares now.

http://www.trojanwire.com/images/damian-williams-18.jpg

[HotCorner]

The San Francisco 49'ers select Dexter McCluster, HB/WR, Mississippi.

http://norcalvol.files.wordpress.com/2009/11/ryan-moore.jpg

McCluster should improve the return teams while providing the offense with a play-making weapon.

[Homer Bailey]

UGH! McCluster was mine!

[Hoosier Red]

The Kansas City Chiefs, surprised by their mid 2nd round pick, select Gino Atkins, DT, Georgia

[Homer Bailey]

With their 2nd round pick, the Houston Texans select:

Jordan Shipley, WR, Texas

http://pictopia.com/perl/get_image?provider_id=240&size=550x550_mb&ptp_photo_id=728931

The Texans add a much needed versatile receiver that can play opposite of Andre Johnson, and also line up in the slot. Two picks from the University of Texas made by the Texans in an effort to step up the pipeline from UT to Houston.

[HotCorner]

Pittsburgh is up.

[Slyder]

Sorry for the delay havent been on a comp without access to a lot besides the site the last couple days. i am probably reaching with this pick but defense was a huge reason the defending Super Bowl Champs fell flat this season giving up lead, after lead, after lead.

Pittsburgh Steelers Draft ILB Micah Johnson, University of Kentucky.

He really reminds me of a Polamalu coming out of USC. Difference being size both play a lot by instincts plus he will have time to learn as James Farrior is getting older but can teach Johnson some of the things he needs. Johnson could make an impact being an OLB in 2010 before taking over eventually.

[WVRed]

The Patriots have addressed a couple of needs by selecting a DE to aid in stopping the run and getting a steal at TE to replace the departing Ben Watson. A luxury pick was spent on Tim Tebow.

Now its time to turn back to the defense, which put virtually no pressure on QB's last season and desperately needs an upgrade in the pass rush.

We were disappointed Brandon Spikes was not available with one of our picks, as we would have liked somebody to pair alongside Jerod Mayo. Given the options available, we may have to take somebody here.

The New England Patriots select:

http://i.a.cnn.net/si/2007/writers/cory_mccartney/05/04/shoes.to.fill/t1_sapp.jpg

Ricky Sapp (DE/OLB-Clemson)

Sapp can be a standup OLB in a 3/4 defense and provide the pass rush needed. Pass rush linebackers have high bust rates but this is a need pick.

Patriots selections:
1.Jared Odrick(DE-Penn St.)
2a.Jermaine Gresham(TE-Oklahoma)
2b.Tim Tebow(QB-Florida)
2c.Ricky Sapp(OLB-Clemson)

Not too shabby....

[Kingspoint]

Mike Brown forgot that the 2nd Round was going to take place on Friday and he and the family went to the Bahamas.

They were looking for a Receiver from Coastal Carolina in the 2nd Round. He's heard they don't complain much.

Andy Reid has his draft card in hand and is ready to pounce.

[WMR]

:lol:

The Bengals are happy to select TE Aaron Hernandez from the University of Florida.

We believe we got a first round talent in the second round with this pick.

http://a.espncdn.com/photo/2009/0925/radio_g_hernandez_576.jpg

[Redlegs212]

With their second pick, the Philadelphia Eagles select S Nate Allen out of the University of South Florida. They've lacked a great safety since the release of Brian Dawkins and hope that Allen can be their guy.

https://admin.xosn.com/pics/400/RG/RGGFOZGXLDBCFRX.20080915155050.jpg

[reds44]

The Green Bay Packer select, Akwasi Owusu-Ansah, DB, Indiana (Pa)

[LoganBuck]

After losing the players they were targeting with the previous two selections the Baltimore Ravens select

Patrick Robinson, CB Florida State

http://www.techsideline.com/football/2009/pics/fsu_robinson2009_01.jpg
The Ravens are looking to upgrade their defensive backfield and Robinson fits the bill.

[Buckeye33]

The Green Bay Packer select, Akwasi Owusu-Ansah, DB, Indiana (Pa)

This kid went to my high school. He was an OK player while there but really grew into a good player in college. 6'1" 205 and runs a 4.38. If he can adjust to the elite competition he could be special.

[HeatherC1212]

With the 26th pick in the second round, the Arizona Cardinals select Pat Angerer, an ILB out of Iowa. The hope is that he will fit in well with the 3-4 defense and be able to start sooner rather than later.

http://images.athlonsports.com/d/15411-1/PatAngerer.jpg

[NJReds]

With the 27th pick in the 2nd round, the Cowboys select Penn St. linebacker, Sean Lee. He's got good size at 6-2, 235 pounds with decent speed.

Smart, big and a great tackler, Lee will be able to step in right away to give the aging Brooking a breather. The heir apparent to the Boys middle linebacker position will have a great teacher in Brooking. Should be able to step in and play right away and will also improve special teams.

http://bluewhitepodcast.files.wordpress.com/2009/03/blog-lee.jpg

[Kingspoint]

Having already added the speedy WR Golden Tate, the San Diego Chargers take with their 2nd pick of the 2010 draft a powerful and bruising runner to match up with RB Darren Sproles.

San Diego Chargers select RB Toby Gerhart, Stanford

Height/Weight: 6'0/231
College Experience: Fourth-year senior
Combine #s: 4.53 forty, 22 x 225, 38" vertical, 9'10" long jump, 4.25ss
Style Comparison: Cedric Benson
2009 Stats: 343 - 1,871 (5.5) - 28 Tds, 11 - 157 (14.3) - 0 Tds

Positives/Negatives: Gerhart's "athleticism" has been criticized in some circles, and the notion is perplexing. Our sense of reality is truly out of whack if we're questioning the athletic ability of a 105-game starting outfielder for College World Series-qualifying Stanford baseball and the 2009 Pac Ten Player of the Year in football. The real "question mark" for Gerhart is whether he can make NFL defenders miss. He probably can't, but that isn't his game anyway. Gerhart is a hard-charging, no-frills runner with experience in a pro-style system. He will be able to run through and away from most NFL linebackers. Gerhart was rarely used in coach Jim Harbaugh's passing game (11 catches in '09) and tore his ACL in 2007, but exhibited soft hands in Combine drills and is clearly recovered from the knee injury. Gerhart finished second nationally in rushing last season.

http://t2.gstatic.com/images?q=tbn:uiGKYQuhxhL88M:http://seattletimes.nwsource.com/ABPub/2008/11/08/2008368350.jpg

Outlook: Craig James, in 1985, was the last white running back to rush for 1,000 yards. Assuming he stays healthy, Gerhart will be next. While he may only be a two-down player initially, Gerhart is worthy of a second-round pick and has the potential to be a long-term franchise back.

[Mario-Rijo]

With the 29th pick in the 2nd round of the 2010 NFL Draft the New York Jets select:

DE Tyson Alualu California

http://www.bearinsider.com/media/images/article/1221452021.jpg

Continuing to work on defensive holes Alualu will help to fill our potential hole at DE. Tyson has the size/speed/strength ratio we look for at the position plus he has experience playing the DE position in a 3-4 defense so he has an edge on his peers in this draft and thusly should help us right away.

[Buckeye33]

With the 30th pick in the 2nd round the Minnesota Vikings select Joe McKnight, RB, USC.

We feel Joe will come in right away and take over the 3rd down role that was vacated when Chester Taylor departed.

http://www1.pictures.gi.zimbio.com/Notre+Dame+v+USC+KFw0MpALTfsl.jpg

[chicoruiz]

With the 31st pick in round 2, the Indianapolis Colts select:

OL Rodger Saffold, Indiana

The Colts released G Ryan Lilja because they wanted to get bigger on the O-line. Saffold is a hometown product who had a great combine and might even have left tackle potential. I've seen him as a first-rounder in several mock drafts.

[Hoosier Red]

With the 31st pick in round 2, the Indianapolis Colts select:

OL Rodger Saffold, Indiana

The Colts released G Ryan Lilja because they wanted to get bigger on the O-line. Saffold is a hometown product who had a great combine and might even have left tackle potential. I've seen him as a first-rounder in several mock drafts.

Good pick, I was hoping he'd last back to me.

[Buckeye33]

With the last pick in the 2nd round the Super Bowl champions select Navarro Bowman, LB, Penn St.

After losing Scott Fujita in free agency we feel we need to add to the talent level of our defense. We got Everson Griffin in the 1st round and now add a very talented LB here at the end of the 2nd round.

Very glad to see the Bengals get that #96 pick!!!

That could be a number of different players that can help the team.

[LoganBuck]

With the first pick in the third round the St. Louis Rams select QB Tony Pike, University of Cincinnati.

http://cincysportingnews.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/11/tony-pike-nc.jpg

Pike will provide a prospect for the future, after a year of learning will be on pace to earn a shot at the starting job in 2011.

[Sea Ray]

With the 2nd pick of the third round the Detroit Lions stay in state and draft some protection for their franchise QB:

Jered Veldheer OT Hillsdale College

He will protect Matt Stafford's blind side for years to come

[TeamSelig]

With the 67th pick in the NFL draft, the Tampa Bay Buccaneers select.....

WR Taylor Price of Ohio University.

With a faster 40 than Golden Tate, there really isn't a whole lot to explain

[Hoosier Red]

With the 68th pick of the 2010 draft, the Kansas City Chiefs select:
Vladimir Ducasse, OT/G, UMass

We've been wanting to improve an offensive line that gave up 42 sacks last season. Vlad can help either at Tackle or Guard.

This leaves us with the following picks

5. Eric Berry, S
36. Arrellious Benn, WR
50. Geno Atkins, DT
68. Vladimir Ducasse, OL

[Joseph]

The Raiders select Jarrett Brown, QB West Virginia.

JaMarcus needs a challenge.

[Slyder]

The Raiders select Jarrett Brown, QB West Virginia.

JaMarcus needs a challenge.

As a Raider fan and a WVU fan I would be really torn on this one. JamBurglar needed to be cut LAST MONTH let alone get a challenge. I dunno if Brown would fit with a team that has ? immediately, this year showed he needs a lot of coaching up. Not saying he couldnt be a top flight NFL QB, just he needs to be somewhere with a stabilized QB situation (for now) with a good coach to really bring out the diamond in the rough. I don't think Oakland is that situation. Feel free to comment back. I think if Oakland drafts someone to push JamBurgalar and the guy a lot of Raiders fans have deemed as being the next "Rich Gannon" it would have to be someone a lot more polished.

[Redlegs212]

The Philadelphia Eagles select Ciron Black OL, LSU

Our line has had problems with protecting the quarterback, we hope Black can hope sure that up.


http://image3.examiner.com/images/blog/wysiwyg/image/Ciron_Black.jpg

[Buckeye33]

Ben left me his pick in a PM.

The Cleveland Browns get their QB of the future and select Colt McCoy, QB, Texas.

http://norcalvol.files.wordpress.com/2009/12/colt-mccoy-texas.jpg

[KoryMac5]

Since Buffalo is switching to a 3/4 defensive alignment there is a huge hole in the middle. That being said the Buffalo Bills select Cam Thomas NT out of North Carolina.

Cam is a big guy standing 6'3" tall and weighs in at 330lbs. He is suprisingly athletic for that size. He had a great Senior Bowl week and Buffalo had its eye on him for awhile now.

[Sean_CaseyRules]

Sorry it took me so long guys. Power was knocked out due to rain and then snow from friday night.

Looking to help make the secondary better, the Dolphins choose DB Trevard Lindley, Kentucky, 5-11/177

He is not a flashy prospect with elite speed, but he plays with impeccable technique and shows good quickness. He must add bulk to deal with big, strong receivers. He is smart, reading and reacting well to the quarterback. He shows the athleticism to make adjustments easily in coverage and shows great ball skills to break-up passes or intercept them. He will slip down draft boards because of his lack of elite speed, but there is no denying his consistent production against SEC receivers.

[JaxRed]

Staying true to the BAP concept, the Jaguars take at pick #74 the 33rd best player in the draft, according to CBS, the 52nd best player acording to Scout.com.

Alabama CB Kareem Jackson

Tennessee has been looking for a dynamic return man and needs help in the defensive backfield. Killing two birds with one stone, with the 77th pick in the 2010 NFL first year player draft, the Titans select Alabama KR/CB Javier Arenas.

No. Alabama and Florida had the two best teams in the country with lots of upper classmen. The rest of the SEC doesn't get to sponge credit for that.

[Buckeye33]

The Carolina Panthers select Greg Hardy, DE, Mississippi. We need someone to replace the loss of Julius Peppers and think Hardy can be that guy. At 6'5 290 lbs he will wreak havoc from the DE position.

No baiting on my part. I think this board is picking more SEC players than even I would. You'll note I took the 1st rd Bengal pick to task for what I felt was an SEC reach.

[Hoosier Red]

Not that it won't be represented in the draft on almost the same level but there's probably a bit of selection bias here in people taking guys they've heard of.

I don't think anyone would argue that the SEC as a whole has been better the last four years. The arguments usually start when the insinuation is: SEC=Yankees Everyone else=Richmond Roosters

Or that this is how it will be forever. No one would argue the SEC is having a great cycle.

[WVRed]

On a completely unrelated note, San Fran is on the clock.

[HotCorner]

With the 79th pick, the San Francisco 49'ers select Major Wright, Safety, Florida.

http://www.gatorzone.com/football/images/tmpimg2008/48WrightMajor.jpg

Yes another SEC player! The third selected by the 49'ers (Haden & McCluster).

This pick addresses the need for help at the safety position. So to recap ...

13. Trent Williams, OT
17. Joe Haden, CB
49. Dexter McCluster, HB/WR
79. Major Wright, S

[Kingspoint]

I'm sure the West isn't represented as much as it will be in the real draft.

[WVRed]

I'm picking for camisadelgolf, since he is on absence.

The biggest need for the Broncos is one that hasn't been addressed in either of the first two rounds. Rolando McClain is an excellent pick and somebody McDaniels can build his defense around, while JD Walton is a smart offensive line pick. However, with Brandon Marshall likely on his way out, Denver needs a wideout to ultimately replace him.

Unfortunately, there aren't any targets this late worth considering, but there is somebody on our list who in our opinion is the best player available, IF he decides to play. If he does, we retain his rights and add an excellent defensive player.

Without further adieu, the Denver Broncos select

My apologies. Just saw earlier in the draft that he was banned so I assumed it was still in effect.

Doesn't matter. If he has somebody picked out, feel free.

[Homer Bailey]

It is with great excitement and surprise that the Houston Texans select:

Jonathan Dwyer, RB, Georgia Tech

http://collegefootblog.files.wordpress.com/2010/01/jonathan-dwyer.jpg

The Texans considered drafting Dwyer in the 2nd round, and are very very pleased to be able to grab him in the 3rd as a large short yardage back to compliement my boy Steve Slaton.

[Slyder]

Pittsburgh Steelers select CB Dominique Franks, Oklahoma.

This season showed just how much depth the Steelers had and this is the first step in repairing a unit that got scorched by Bruce Gradkowski and the Raiders juggerNOT offense. Considered QBs with Big Ben's recent problems but Former Duck Dixon showed he could be a short term answer in his 2 starts last year. I would probably look at QB in Day 3 of the draft if we were to continue.

Rd 1 Mike Iupati, T/G, Idaho
Rd 2 Micah Johnson ILB Kentucky
Rd 3 Dominque Franks CB Oklahoma

[sonny]

The Atlanta Falcons Select Ed Dixon, TE Oregon

I guess the Duck (puts on Glasses) stops here.

YEAAAAAAAAAHHHHH!!!!!!

[Kingspoint]

The Atlanta Falcons Select Ed Dixon, TE Oregon

YEAAAAAAAAAHHHHH!!!!!!

That's an intriguing pick. Tight Ends were always taught well under Belotti, as both decent blockers and decent route-runners. They usually had pretty sure hands, too. They've never been great athletes in the mold of an NFL 50-catch Tight End, but I think Dixon could consistently be in the 40-catch range. Not near the blocker that Reggie Kelly has been, but a better Receiver and better blocker than a Steve Heiden.

Visions of the wasted selection of Kenny Irons.:thumbdown

What are the comparisons, exactly? They both played for Auburn? So did Rudi Johnson, that's who I get 'visions of.' LOL. :rolleyes:

I'm sure Ben will tear his ACL in the preseason as well, suffering an injury that no one could've predicted. Except you, I'm sure you called it as soon as Kenny's name was announced. :lol:

Not drafting a guy because ANOTHER guy you drafted several years ago happened to play the same position, went to the same school and suffered a devastating knee injury as soon as he stepped on the field is very, very silly. You understand there's no correlation there, I hope.

Tate was very productive at Auburn and has a good chance to be a productive NFL RB.

Of course, I'm sure you would've posted 'visions of chris perry' had I chosen a Big X/Michigan guy. :laugh: Right.

[Ben]

The Cleveland Browns are thrilled to select with the 85th pick in the 2010 NFL Draft,

OLB/LB-Thaddeus Gibson

After going offense with our first three picks, the Browns address a need and add to the pass rush. Even after the acquisitions of Chris Gocong and Matt Roth, the Browns still need OLB's who can rush the passer. Thad Gibson will contribute right away and help an anemic pass rush.

Picking a running back, above the fifth round. I hated the Chris Perry selection as well. Taking a running back for the Bengals selection just seems foolish. They have pressing needs at all positions. Running backs can be found elsewhere.

[WMR]

Well, okay, fine, why not just say that. I just didn't get comparing him to Kenny Irons. It seems like this thread has become a bit contentious because of collegiate affiliations.

BTW: A one-two punch of Benson and Tate makes me feel warm and tingly inside. Tate is a punishing runner. And I would bet money that Tate goes by the time the 3rd round is finished.

[WVRed]

I'll make the pick:

Looking at the Packers draft. Offensive line and cornerback, two glaring holes for the Packers have been addressed. However, the Packers did lose a lot when Aaron Kampman, who struggled under the defensive changes to a 3-4 defense, left for Jacksonville. The Packers need an extra pass rusher to take the heat off second year player Clay Matthews.

http://media.thestate.com/smedia/2008/08/23/21/130-norwoodlead.lead_art_horizontal.prod_affiliate.74. jpg

The Packers select Eric Norwood (DE/LB-South Carolina)

[Redlegs212]

Sorry about the wait.

The Eagles need help at linebacker, so they select Jason Worilds, LB Virginia Tech

http://www.thenorthendzone.com/images/stories/jason-worilds.jpg

[Kingspoint]

Arizona now has back-to-back picks.

[NJReds]

I have no idea if Arizona is ever going to pick, so much like the NFL, the Cowboys rush to the podium as time runs out on the Cardinals.

The selection is Morgan Burnett, S, Georgia Tech

http://assets.espn.go.com/photo/2008/1029/ncf_g_burnett_200.jpg

[Kingspoint]

With the Chargers having already addressed two Offensive needs in WR Golden Tate and RB Toby Gerhart, the choose for the #91 pick in the 3rd Round a player who could make an impact for them in 2010, CB Amari Spievey, Iowa. Spievey, who held heralded receiver prospect Demaryius Thomas catch-less in Iowa's Orange Bowl win over Georgia Tech, lacks ideal speed (4.57) but picked off six passes in his two years as a starter, was among the nation's most physical corners, and played in a pro-style scheme. He'll take the place of the child-breeder Antonio Cromartie.

Heather still has the 2 Arizona picks at #'s 88 and 89, but she was on here yesterday and didn't check in, so Dallas made their pick....I waited a day later and made San Diego's pick.

[Buckeye33]

I'll make Arizona's picks in a bit. Going to watch Leake for awhile first.

[WVRed]

I'll make Arizona's picks in a bit. Going to watch Leake for awhile first.

I can take care of it for you. :)

The first two picks were used on linebackers, now its time to shore up some needs.

The two Cardinals selections are Colt McCoy (QB-Texas) and Kam Chancellor (S-Va Tech)

http://blackchristiannews.com/news/061914_colt_mccoy_hmed.hmedium.jpg

http://media.hamptonroads.com/cache/files/images/388181000.jpg

The Cardinals need insurance at QB in case Leinart falters again and Chancellor will be able to step in and replace the big shoes left by departing free safety Antrel Rolle.

[Joseph]

I think Colt would do well in the Cardinals system should he end up there. He can caddy for a season while they retest Leinart,then be ready to challenge next season potentially.

[Buckeye33]

Colt McCoy was drafted earlier in the 2nd round. Instead of McCoy they will draft Dan Lefevour, QB, Central Michigan.

That was actually my second pick. I think Lefevour is extremely underrated. Could be a second round pick if he does well.

Edit: I just went back and looked. I didn't see McCoy being taken by anybody. Ran a highlighter and couldn't find it on the draft board. If you want to keep Lefevour there, that's fine.

[HeatherC1212]

Sorry I didn't make any picks for Arizona. I don't keep up much with the mock draft stuff past the second round and wasn't prepared for this to go into a third round. I meant to leave a message here before but totally forgot so I'm sorry again and thanks for making the picks for me.

[Buckeye33]

McCoy was selected #71 by the Browns. It was in the 3rd round, not the 2nd like I said earlier.

Heather, no worries as this 3rd round slowed down quite a bit anyway.

I don't think we have done it before but it'd be cool to see how our drafts have stacked up to the real thing. I don't expect them to be pick for pick but I sure would be interested to see how reasonably accurate RZ's drafters are. I imagine the biggest whiffs would be those local players and big named college stars drafted a bit sooner than the NFL usually does.

Too much has changed since we started in March. For example the Rams cut Marc Bulger two weeks ago, a month after giving him the dreaded vote of confidence. Sam Bradford is now a mortal lock for the first pick. Happened to me last year as well. St. Louis talked about how they had Orlando Pace and how he was their starter. Two days later I picked Aaron Curry, two days following that they released Orlando Pace.

I here ya but I tend to expect those things some of the time. Neither Bulgers release or Pace's surprised me and I actually expected both of course I didn't expect some of the things to happen that has this offseason (Holmes, Cromartie, Rolle etc.) but then again this isn't your typical offseason.

[Ben]

With the 92nd and final pick in the 2010 RedsZone mock draft, the Cleveland Browns select:

Linval Joseph DT/DE East Carolina

The Browns after spending their first three picks on offense aim to improve their defense with their final two picks in the 3rd round. Although Joseph played at a smaller school, he was hugely productive. With the on going struggles of Shaun Rogers, Joseph gives the Browns another option in the middle of their 3-4

To Recap:
Dez Bryant-1st round
Ryan Matthews-2nd round
Colt McCoy-3rd round-pick one
Thaddeus Gibson-3rd round-pick two
Linval Joseph-3rd round-pick three

[Buckeye33]

The Minnesota Vikings select Chris Cook, DB, Virginia with the 93rd pick. The Vikings are aging in the secondary and Cook will be able to play both CB and FS. At 6'2" and 215 lbs he has the size to compete with the big NFL WRs.

I know what you mean, but man you have to believe what the club says when you are trying to draft at the top. Too many dollars at stake.

[chicoruiz]

With the 94th pick, Indianapolis selects:

LB-DE Koa Misi, Utah

The Colts defense relies on small, quick DEs who can rush the passer, and with Dwight Freeney becoming a bit brittle we thought Misi would add some needed depth. In addition, while he provides us with a situational pass rusher, he can learn to play outside linebacker.

[Buckeye33]

The New Orleans Saints select Alex Carrington, DE/DT, Arkansas St. We now feel we have re-stocked our DEs position and now have Will Smith, Alex Brown, Everson Griffin, and Alex Carrington.

http://media.scout.com/Media/Image/72/722577.jpg

Bobbie Williams isn't getting any younger and we love Jerry's size (6' 5" 335 lbs). Jerry made the All-SEC first team his senior year.

With the last pick in the 2010 RedsZone Mock Draft The Atlanta Falcons select Mr Irrelevant Kurt Coleman, S, Ohio State Buckeyes

[Buckeye33]

New Orleans Saints recap:

1st - Everson Griffin, DE, USC
2nd - Navarro Bowman, LB, Penn St.
3rd - Alex Carrington, DL, Arkansas St.

The Saints could have used a RB in the 3rd round to help offset the loss of Mike Bell and protect the fragile Pierre Thomas and Reggie Bush but feel someone adequate would have been available later in the draft.

The Saints needed depth in the front 7 after losing Charles Grant and Scott Fujita during FA. They picked up Alex Brown to start opposite Will Smith and now will have 2 rookies with huge upside to back them up.
