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.

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.
