Our 2nd NFL Mock Draft

I always think it’s nice to step away from the Giants and get a look at the NFL as a whole. This is our 2nd (And final!) NFL Mock draft. Our first is here. Our last Giants mock will be out sometime on Wednesday.

1. Rams: Sam Bradford, QB, Oklahoma

I’m more of a fan of Jimmy Clausen, but all reports indicate that Bradford is their man. The Rams need a franchise face, and that’s what Bradford does. They still need someone to protect him.

2. Lions: Ndamukong Suh, DT, Nebraska

Best player in the draft, and fills a need. They still need offensive tackle help, and that’s why Russell Okung could be the pick. Still, Suh is a rare talent, and the Lions would regret passing on him.

3. Bucs: Gerald McCoy, DT, Oklahoma

2nd best player in the draft, and fills a need. Reminds me of Warren Sapp.

4. Redskins: Trent Williams, OT, Oklahoma

Williams may be a better fit in the Redskins system. This pick has been mocked as Okung for awhile, but Williams is gaining momentum.

5. Chiefs: Russell Okung, OT, Oklahoma State

Fills a need, allows Branden Albert to move inside to guard.

6. Seattle: Eric Berry, S, Tennessee

The next Ed Reed. Gives Seattle a needed playmaker in the secondary.

7. Browns: Jimmy Clausen, QB, Notre Dame

A franchise quarterback to build on. He’s the real deal.  Can start right away.

8. Raiders: Bruce Campbell, OT, Maryland

This shouldn’t be the pick. But, Campbell is a workout warrior who Al Davis will fall in love with.

9. Bills: Bryan Bulaga, OT, Iowa

Bills need all the line help they can get.

10. Jaguars: Kyle Wilson, CB, Boise State

Jags need to stop Peyton Manning, and Wilson has been flying up draft boards. He’s overtaken Haden on many boards.

11. Broncos: Maurkice Pouncey, C, Florida

Not the headliner, but one of the best interior offensive line prospects to come along in years.

12. Dolphins: Dan Williams, DT, Tennessee

Fills a huge need, and is perfect in their 3-4 system.

13. 49ers: CJ Spiller, RB, Clemson

Spiller joins Frank Gore, Michael Crabtree and Vernon Davis to create an explosive offense. They just need a QB.

14. Seahawks: Derrick Morgan, DE, Georgia Tech

Replaces retired Patrick Kearney. Can start right away.

15. Giants: Rolando McClain, ILB, Alabama

Fills a huge need, and will start at linebacker for the next 10 years.

16. Titans: Jason Pierre-Paul, DE, South Florida

Could be the next Jevon Kearse.

17. 49ers: Earl Thomas, S, Texas

Much needed playmaker in the secondary.

18. Steelers: Joe Haden, CB, Florida

Best player available, and fills a huge need.

19. Falcons: Brandon Graham, DE, Michigan

Upgrades a pass rush that recorded 28 sacks in 2009.

20. Texans: Taylor Mays, S, USC

They need to find a way to stop the Colts. Mays will help.

21. Bengals: Jermaine Gresham, TE, Oklahoma

Adds a new dynamic to the passing game.

22. Patriots: Dez Bryant, WR, Oklahoma State

Let Randy Moss tutor the Next Randy Moss.

23. Packers: Anthony Davis, OT, Rutgers

Some character concerns, but could end up being the best offensive tackle in the draft.

24. Eagles: Mike Iupati, OG, Idaho

Fills a need, and will help protect Kevin Kolb.

25. Ravens: Jared Odrick, DT, Penn State

Infuses some youth on an aging defensive line. Can play nose and 5 technique.

26. Cardinals: Sean Weatherspoon, LB, Missouri

Replaces Karlos Dansby in the middle of their 3-4.

27. Cowboys: Charles Brown, OT, USC

Should replace Flozell Adams on the line.

28. Chargers: Ryan Matthews, RB, Fresno State

Replaces LaDanian Tomlinson

29. Jets: Sergio Kindle, DE/OLB, Texas

They better hope he’s not the next Vernon Gholston.

30. Vikings: Colt McCoy, QB, Texas

They need to start preparing for life after Favre.

31. Colts: Jerry Hughes, DE/OLB, TCU

Gives them an impact pass rusher.

32. Saints

Linval Joseph, DT, ECU

He’s been flying up boards, and fills a huge need for the Champs.

One Response to “Our 2nd NFL Mock Draft”

  1. Steve B. says:

    Last year I was debating between which WR should the Giants take. The rumors of who will be avil were DHB, Hakeem Nicks, and Kenny Britt. I did not like DHB at all, Britt intrigued me, and Nicks reminded me of Boldin. In the end I was favoring Nicks for the Giants and was really excited when they drafted him.

    This year its between McClain, Weatherspoon, and I hate to say it but CJ Spiller. I really am against taking a RB in the first round, because I really don’t see that much of a difference between first round talent, and a guy in the 3rd or 4th round. You dont have to get the felix jones of the world in the first round, but can find a Westbrook, a Marion Barber, a Bradon Jacobs in the middle of the draft.

    But I will admit, Spiller is really impressive. Would I be disappointed if they select him, probably not. But its not my ideal pick. The ideal pick is a MLB because thats our biggest whole, and between McClain and Weatherspoon, I would go with McClain. I think he is perfect for the middle, where I feel that Weatherspoon could be a MLB, but thats not where he is going to reach his potential. He is a WLB.

    So in short, McClain has been the pick, and will be the pick for me. Who knows whats going to happen.
