2010 1st Round Mock Draft: Updated 10/28


I've sprinkled in some more underclassmen because of the probable rookie wage scale and lockout in 2011 and will continue to do so. Because of this, several players have fallen out of the first round. The biggest drop has been Florida DE Carlos Dunlap who, despite his size and speed, has had a very disappointing season and looks to be this years Vernon Gholston.

 

1. St. Louis Rams: Jimmy Clausen QB, Notre Dame
The Rams number one priority this off season will be to find a new Quarterback. There’s no debate about it. In the last two years they have passed on Matt Ryan and Mark Sanchez. Clausen is having a great season and pro scouts will love the fact that he plays in a pro-style offense under center. Another option may be Washington QB Jake Locker. Locker is more mobile and has a slightly stronger arm but has faced lesser competition in his collegiate career, plus he plays almost entirely out of the shotgun formation.

2. Tampa Bay Buccaneers: Ndamukong Suh DT, Nebraska
The Bucs have needs in multiple areas but Suh is playing lights out this year and is a dark horse to win the Heisman trophy. Other considerations here could be Tennessee safety Eric Berry who is just about the consensus top player in college football or Oklahoma State OT Russell Okung to protect their QB of the future Josh Freeman.

3. Tennessee Titans: Eric Berry S, Tennessee
The Titans are having the most disappointing season this year after having the regular seasons’ best record a year ago. They have multiple needs, including the QB position, but DB is probably their biggest need. Berry can play cornerback or safety and is the best player in college football. Titans owner Bud Adams still likes Vince Young and that is the only reason I see them not going after a QB with this pick.

4. Cleveland Browns: Gerald McCoy DT, Oklahoma
Cleveland needs help everywhere. McCoy could be used to replace Shaun Rogers on passing situations and could also play end. A better option would be Eric Berry if he were to fall. The most likely scenario though will be for the Browns to trade down again like last year to acquire more picks.

5. Kansas City Chiefs: Russell Okung OT, Oklahoma State
Matt Cassell needs a LT that will give him enough time to throw the ball down field. KC spent a lot of money on Cassell and it would be nice if they got a return on their investment. It would also allow them to move 2008 1st round pick Brandon Albert to LG, his natural position, since it doesn't seem like he can make it playing on the outside. Right now Okung is the only complete Tackle in the draft, with no holes in his game. He is very athletic and is great at using his hands to keep defenders off of him.

6. Detroit Lions: Bruce Campbell OT, Maryland
They need a cornerstone LT to protect their 40 million dollar man in Matt Stafford. This is high for Campbell even though right now he’s the only other OT prospect who is a complete player so if Okung and Berry are both off the board look for the Lions to trade back.

7. Oakland Raiders: Taylor Mays S, USC
Against Oregon State Mays was exposed as the player he is, reckless and undisciplined. With all of his exceptional athleticism, he takes poor angles in coverage and is only concerned with trying to lay out the big hit. We all know that Al Davis is enamored with speed, so if Mays is available this is a lock pick. Mays will stumble on draft day if Oakland comes to its senses and picks a replacement for the failed JaMarcus Russell experiment. In that event, Davis will surely go with Washington QB Jake Locker. Locker has the arm strength to throw the deep passes and is very mobile with a 4.6 40 time.

8. Washington Redskins: Jake Locker QB, Washington
With the benching of Jason Campbell the Redskins have clearly lost all faith in him. Coach Zorn was stripped of his play-calling duties and will almost definitely be fired at the end of the season. Regardless, team owner Dan Snyder is going to replace Campbell. The only other option would be Oklahoma QB Sam Bradford.

9. Buffalo Bills: Charles Brown OT, USC
Look for the Bills to replace the gaping hole left by the Jason Peters trade to Philly unless one of the top tier prospects like McCoy or even Locker fall.  This is a little high for Brown but he’s the only OT prospect left who projects to play on the left side with the struggles of Oklahoma OT Trent Williams and the injuries to Iowa OT Bryan Bulaga.

10. Seattle Seahawks: Sam Bradford QB, Oklahoma
Without any top tier left tackle prospects left to replace the aging Walter Jones, look for the Hawks to find an heir apparent to often injured Matt Hasselbeck. Bradford has an injury history and will need time to develop, be he’s very accurate and the best available option left. They would LOVE Jake Locker to fall to them and I wouldn’t be surprised to see them trade up to get him.

11. San Francisco 49ers(via Carolina Panthers): Bryan Bulaga OT, Iowa
The 49ers greatest need is a RT to play opposite Joe Staley. Bulaga has had a down season with injuries and a thyroid condition but would be a perfect fit at RT at the pro level with his work ethic and run-blocking ability. Another option may be Florida CB Joe Hayden.

12. Jacksonville Jaguars: Dez Bryant WR, Oklahoma State
The Jags need a number one receiver despite being burned by plenty of them in recent years(Matt Jones, Reggie Williams) and find one in Bryant. I know Jags owner Wayne Weaver insists that he will draft Florida QB Tim Tebow if he gets the opportunity but Tebow is not a first round talent and will be available in the second or third round. The recent suspension of Bryant for lying about conversations with Deion Sanders will not hurt is draft stock. He’s got all the intangibles you look for in a receiver and looks a lot like Andre Johnson did when he came out of Miami.

13. New York Jets: Joe Hayden CB, Florida
Having found a legitimate downfield threat, at least for now, in the trade for Braylon Edwards, the Jets will most likely look for someone to play opposite Darrell Revis. They may also look for defensive line help, especially at DT where Kris Jenkins just had the second season-ending injury of his career.

14. Miami Dolphins: Terrence Cody DT, Alabama
With the secondary shored up in last years draft look for the Fins to plug up their defensive front. They have been using aging veterans to plug the gaps for some time and could really use a shot of youth. Alternatives here could be help at linebacker, although this might be too high to draft any of the ones available.

15. Denver Broncos(via Chicago Bears): Rolando McClain ILB, Alabama
The Broncos have very few holes to fill. Look for them to take the best defensive player available. McClain is continuing to rise up draft boards and would be a perfect fit for a 3-4 defense. Also look for them to possibly add some youth to the secondary with CB Ras-I Dowling from Virginia even though they drafted Alphonso Smith last year.

16. Dallas Cowboys: Damian Williams WR, USC
Even with the sudden appearance of Mile Austin, look for the Cowboys to upgrade their receiving ranks. Williams can also sub for often injured Felix Jones on kick return duties. Other options may be to take the best defensive player available. Perhaps SC OLB Eric Norwood or Florida ILB Brandon Spikes would be options but this is too early for either of them.

17. San Diego Chargers: Brandon LaFell WR, LSU
Assuming they resign LT Marcus McNeill and in all probability franchise tag Shawn Merriman, they will most likely target someone to play opposite budding wideout Vincent Jackson. Another option may be to take Cal RB Jahvid Best since they will most likely lose either Darren Sproles or Tomlinson after the season. LaFell fits the mold of a taller wideout that the Chargers prefer.

18. Houston Texans: Ras-I Dowling CB, Virginia
The Texans need help in multiple areas but the biggest concern is in the secondary, especially if they let the unhappy Dunta Robinson leave via free agency in the offseason.

19. San Francisco 49ers: Travis Lewis OLB, Oklahoma
Having already taken care of the o-line earlier in the draft and after finally signing Michael Crabtree the 49ers will turn their attention to the defense. They need another pass rushing threat to go with stud linebacker Patrick Willis. But the 49ers' will go with the best defensive player available. Lewis is only a redshirt sophomore but like many underclassmen will probably declare early because of the implementation of a rookie wage scale in 2011.

20. Green Bay Packers: Trent Williams OT, Oklahoma
Green Bay will take the best tackle available after watching QB Aaron Rogers eat dirt every week.

21. Arizona Cardinals: Navorro Bowman OLB, Penn State
Arizona needs LT help bad. They drafted Levi Brown a couple years ago to be a RT when they thought Matt Leinart, a lefty, would be the QB of the future. Well he hasn't been so far and Warner is suffering because of it. Unfortunately, there are no more tackles left with a first round grade. Look for the Cards’ to take the best defensive player available. Bowman had a spectacular performance against Michigan in which he racked up 11 tackles, 1 sack, 1 INT, and a fumble recovery.

22. Baltimore Ravens: Jermaine Gresham TE, Oklahoma
Todd Heap hasn't played a 16-game season in years and Gresham is the type of speedy, pass catching TE that is perfect for the development of QB Joe Flacco. Even though he's out with a knee injury for the rest of the year, he will have plenty of time to rehab before the NFL combine. A lot of people will think that the Ravens will draft a CB, especially considering how badly they have been torched through the air, but the Ravens draft on value and if Gresham wouldn’t have hurt his knee this year he would’ve been a top 10-15 pick. Plus there won’t be any other first round CB’s left.

23. Cincinnati Bengals: Jahvid Best RB, Cal
The Bengals don’t have many real needs at this point, so look for them to take Best, who would be a perfect compliment to the emerging Cedric Benson.

24. Philadelphia Eagles: Von Miller OLB/DE, Texas A&M
Without any tackle prospects left to replace the often injured Shawn Andrews, look for the Eagles to take the top linebacker prospect available. Miller already has 10 sacks on the year and even beat up on Russell Okung when they played against each other this year.  

25. Atlanta Falcons: Greg Hardy DE, Ole' Miss
The Falcons will take the best defensive player available. Hardy has some injury issues but is adept at playing both the run and the pass and will be an upgrade over the disappointing Jamaal Anderson.

26. New York Giants: Derrick Morgan DE Georgia Tech
The Giants will continue to stockpile D linemen and Morgan has continued to rise up the draft boards. 

27. Pittsburgh Steelers: Morgan Burnett FS, Georgia Tech
With DT Terrence Cody already off the board, look for the Steelers to find a safety who will eventually replace Ryan Clark. I’ve seen mock drafts where Cody is a top 10-15 pick and some where he doesn’t even go in the first round. Both Clark and Tyrone Carter have expiring contracts at the end of the season and they are also getting up there in age. The offensive line has been getting better every week and no longer seems like a dire position of need, although they may look for a guard like Alabama’s Mike Johnson or Idaho’s Mike Iupati. Other considerations would be to find an heir apparent to James Farrior. As with every year, I personally keep my fingers crossed that they will get a DB who can return punts and kicks. Stephan Logan hasn’t been bad but it’s inefficient to take a roster spot with a return specialist.

28. New England Patriots: Sergio Kindle DL/OLB, Texas
The Patriots recently resigned 40 year old LB Junior Seau. They need more youth and depth in their linebacking corps. Kindle lines up all over the field for Texas and is the sort of versatile player Belichick loves.

29. Minnesota Vikings: Arthur Jones DE/DT, Syracuse
Without too many major holes on the team the Vikings have the luxury of bolstering the strength of their team, the defensive line. The one weak link is the end spot opposite Jared Allen. They may also consider future replacements for the Williams boys such as Rickey Sapp of Clemson or Jared Odrick from Penn State.

30. Seattle Seahawks (via Denver Broncos): Jonathan Dwyer RB, Georgia Tech
Having taken care of their QB needs earlier in the draft, the Seahawks will turn to RB since there are no more tackles with a first round grade. With Jahvid Best already taken, Dwyer is the best remaining back available. He’s a between the tackles type of back with deceptive speed.

31. Indianapolis Colts: Jerry Hughes DE/OLB, TCU
As always, the defense is the weak spot on this team. The Colts will take the best available defensive player.

32. New Orleans Saints: Brian Price DT, UCLA
The Saints will continue to add to an improving defense. Like many underclassmen, Price will probably leave school early because of the pending rookie wage scale.

I like Morgan Burnett

He’s a player, and there aren’t too too many weaknesses in his game. I also like Mike Iupati, but he could be a 2nd round steal.

BTSC Obituaries

OldManSteeler, ominously died two days before Superbowl 123 where the Ravens are set to attempt their 7th superbowl win, facing the Detroit Lions on Sunday. He was 86. His last words are believed to be "MALOR CAN SUCK IT!!!". Like friends and family, we can only guess what this could mean.

Washington won't win another game this year....or one at the most....

They will draft higher than eighth, and will make an almost insane effort to rebuild their offensive line. It sucks beyond dreadful. Chris Samuels, the keystone of the line, is 87 years old and has been playing since 1942. He’s gonna retire. They had some guy next to him, Randy Thomas or something, who was actually 42 and tore his bicep. These guys belong in assisted living, and not in the NFL.

Snyder and his GM Cerrato are both assholes, but everybody (and I mean everybody) has been telling them their offensive line is the worst in the NFL, and it doesn’t matter who you draft at the skill positions if you can’t protect the QB and open holes for running backs. They will draft offensive linemen.

Redskin fans remember the 1980 (?) draft the same way we Steeler fans remember the 1974 draft. The Hogs were born that weekend, when they drafted Mark May and Russ Grimm the first day, and Jeff Bostic and Joe Jacoby the second.

Snyder and Cerrato will draft offensive linemen, and will reach for them in the middle rounds. They will seek them in free agency, and will overpay for them. They will even try to lure them to the Redskins through the use of cheap Vietnamese prostitutes.

What the Steelers need right now is a hard-hitting top-of-the line safety, maybe a top-flight cornerback. But this year’s Steeler team is much younger than last year’s, they had a remarkable infusion of young talent through the draft – and there’s no telling how go the guys at the bottom of the depth chart and on the PS will be.

The rookies and Practice Squad players who DON’T have this week off will determine the Steelers’ draft needs. Tomlin, Colbert, and Company are doing their early draft assessment as I write this…working out the Harrises and the Redmans and the Burnetts. How the Draft Class of ’09 matures will determine who the Steelers draft next April.

I would kill everyone in this room for a drop of sweet beer.

Only a new owner is really going to help the skins.

Snyder strips the Head Coach of some of his responsibilities? What are the players supposed to believe in, besides a new HC at least every other year?

Wanna bet they draft a QB?

Snyder is a stubborn dumbass. He’ll either draft a QB in the 1st or trade the house to get one available in FA. And, don’t forget, 2010 is likely going to be an uncapped year. Snyder is going to have the best fantasy football team money can buy.

They just need to start over and rebuild the roster one position at a time

The Chiefs

have a pro bowl LG in Brian Waters already so unless he leaves I don’t think Brandon Albert is going to supplant Waters at LG. Although I’m a Steelers fan I currently live in KC and since I’m a UVA fan I follow the UVA players such as Albert. His first year at LT he actually did a really good job…..in fact the Chiefs offense was moving the chains and putting up points with Chan Gailey at OC and QB Tyler Thigpen. Albert lost quite a bit of weight and had to learn new blocking schemes in a new offense under Todd Haley AND he’s been injured. I think the jury’s still out on if Albert can be a productive LT but considering a move to RT might be an alternative.

While I agree the Redskins should be heavy in OFF LINE there will be so much pressure to grap one of the big name QB’s that I would be willing to bet that is the direction they will go with their first pick and then address the line. Don’t forget…..both their DE’s are long in the tooth as well and Carlos Dunlap from FL with the size and skillset of M. Williams might be tempting as well.

Now to the Steelers…..hard to say at this point in time who’s going to be available at the back end of the draft which is where they will be picking…..PICK 32, right? S, C, NT, MLB……I’d say the first pick will come from one of those 4 positions.

by baabaablacksheep on Oct 28, 2009 7:58 PM EDT reply actions   0 recs

I agree with that you except for...

the fact that the Steelers resigned Justin Hartwig to a long-term extension in the offseason. He’s looked pretty good so far so unless there’s a center out there that just wows everyone at the combine and during the All-Star games at seasons end I don’t think they’ll invest their 2st round pick in one. The only one I could think of would be USC center Kris O"Dowd.

Terrence Cody would be ideal considering that Casey Hampton is in the last year of his contract and is on the wrong side of 30. He’s got 2 rings already and might be looking for one last big pay day considering he’s been playing for a discount his whole time in Pittsburgh. Plus, NT for a 3-4 are in very high demand these days with everyone switching to that scheme and we’ll probably be outbid by someone.

I would really like to grab Rolando McClain too but he’s gaining a lot of popularity and will probably go between 10-15. He’s a perfect fit for the MLB spot in a 3-4. Plus in a couple years we are going to have to decide on keeping either Timmons or Woodley because I doubt we’ll be able to afford them both. If we keep Timmons, as much as I absolutely love Woodley, then we could move him to the outside which is his more natural spot anyway.

As far safety goes, there’s quite a few that I like. Aside from Morgan Burnett there’s also Earl Thomas from Texas who’s been looking damn good this year. And there’s a slew of other safeties who’ll be going in rounds 2-3 that could be good players as well.

by big_jay71 on Oct 28, 2009 8:18 PM EDT reply actions   0 recs

Yep

I think they are in need of NT…S….MLB….more than they are C. Esp if Legursky continues to develop and I think they still have the PSU center on the practice squad. However, if they end up picking at the very end of the first round…..they most assuredly won’t be getting the best S, MLB, or NT…..the reason C might be a good choice is this…….at the end of the first rd taking the very best C in the draft might be the wise move…..esp if it’s O’Dowd.

by baabaablacksheep on Oct 28, 2009 9:06 PM EDT up reply actions   0 recs

A lot will change between now and April

I perdict that Taylor mays will slip down in the draft. He’s been playing a lot of free safety this year and it’s kind of hurting his draft stock. Mays has plenty of speed, but the abiltiy to turn his hips and run is suspect, which is crucial for a free safety. I wonder if he were to dip down all the way to us, should we take him?

Also keep an eye on Dan Williams of Tennessee. He’s a NT with some upside and room to add more weight. Cody is too heavy for my taste and might have weight issues in the league.

I suggest staying away from players at Texas.

by StoneColdSteel on Oct 28, 2009 11:27 PM EDT reply actions   0 recs

Terrence Cody has done a great job of losing weight and keeping it off within the last year. He played at almost 400lbs. last season and dropped to about 350lbs. before the start of this season and has managed to keep the weight off. With another off season he could lose another 20 to 30 pounds and be ideal.

I know I'm late to this post....

.
But I’d really like to see someone do something like a third or fourth round Mock Draft. I’m not saying I want to see a three or four round draft, but a poll that lists only the third or fourth round. Those are interesting, and overlooked. If there weren’t so many posts right now, I would do it. Maybe on Saturday. Maybe a poll about likely prospects.

But then, maybe I’m the only one who is more interested in the value picks than our first rounders. I’m especially interested in the fourth. We haven’t found any stunning value there since Ike, though Colon is making some believers.

I don't think third and fourth round mock drafts are worth the time

It’s so hard just to predict who going in first round let alone the 2nd 3rd and 4th round. It just doesn’t seem worth it to me

by Steel in FL on Oct 29, 2009 8:19 AM EDT up reply actions   0 recs

Tim Tebow will go first round...

If he doesn’t go to anyone else before them, the New England Patriots will draft Timmy with their first rounder, I would almost be willing to guarantee it.

Nope...

Belichek has something up his sleave (I know… shocking). Tebow is one of the few players he has ever said anything good about in public. My opinion of Bill leads me to believe his true feelings for Timmy are stronger than his public statements, because, as we all know, Bill is not always fully upfront, to say the least.

They’re a fairly complete team, as always, and a late first rounder doesn’t provide too much value, immediately, at least to them. If Tebow can provide a new gimmick or wrinkle to their offense right away, he’ll jump on it. They’ve been experimenting with the single wing offense in practices, with Isiah Stainback at QB. I haven’t seen them play too much this year so I do not know how much they’ve used it in games. If I know anything about Belichek it’s that he won’t do something schematically with out doing it all the way. If he is going to run any single wing plays, he will run them with the best option possible in order to succeed. Enter the best collegiate football player in the last 25 years, Tim Tebow.

Bill Belicheck has sleaves, I thought he cut all of them off

but they are not replacing the All-Mighty Defender of little kittens and puppies and all other things that are right with the world Tom Brady

http://insider.espn.go.com/nfl/features/rumors

This was posted this morning on ESPN, although it sounds like they would invest a 2nd rounder on Tebow but not likely their first rounder.

“One of the league’s most prolific offenses might have a new trick up its sleeve as of next season if all goes to plan.

During a chat on Deadspin, NFL scribe Peter King dropped the following bombshell: “I know two coaches in the NFL who are intrigued with what a running QB like [Tim] Tebow can do by being himself — Belichick and Harbaugh.”

Some have always wondered if there would ever be a formation with two QBs in the backfield — one fleet-footed and the other more pocket-oriented — and we might see this happen if the Pats do elect to grab Tebow in the draft. Instead of converting the most popular man in Florida to a new position, the Pats would then force teams to prepare for both QBs on every play.

With three second round picks — including what figure to be choice-cut selections courtesy of the Titans and Jags — the Pats are in great shape to welcome Mr. Tebow to Foxboro."

Haha... I'm one of those "wonderers", and have been for a while.

I actually talked briefly before the season about lining Ben up next to Dixon in the backfield. And, as if that weren’t enough, I also mentioned the possibilities of lining up in a split back backfield with Ben taking the snap, Dixon to his right, and Vick to his left (odviously before he signed with Philly). I know, the last one was way out there, but think about it. Dangerous in so many ways.

That would be pretty wild to have 2 QBs back there in shotgun. That could turn into a Def. Coord. nightmare real soon if they were to fine tune a scheme like that, similar to what the Wildcat has evolved into.

But this is a colossal waste of time! This is offseason material, when we have nothing else to fantasize about. I love it too, but this is crazy early for something as unpredictable as the NFL draft!

Arrelious Benn...

is missing from this list. He plays for a crappy team, but he is the real deal. I think he’s a first-rounder. I also think he’s a guy we should take, even though we seem loaded at WR. How long can we hope to keep Santonio?

Another guy missing

Sean Weatherspoon from Mizzou. This kid is all around the field and it one of the better players in the nation. I have seen him go in the first round in nearly all of the mock drafts I’ve seen so far, sometimes in the top 10.

Sean Weatherspoon...

…is a great player and I’ve had him in my mock drafts in recent weeks. But with the pending rookie wage scale and possible lockout in 2011 there will be a lot of Juniors and redshirt sophomores that will declare for the draft which pushed him out of my first round.
