Pick's 1 Round Mock

[Roy P]

1 St Louis QB Sam Bradford - Gotta get the QB
2 Detroit DT Ndamukong Suh - Suh + VDB reminds HC of Tenn
3 Denver DT Gerald McCoy Traded #11 to TB - Richard Seymour in the 3-4
4 Washington OT Trent Williams - Ryan Clady for Shan
5 Kansas City OT Russell Okung - Building the OL
6 Buffalo OT Bruce Campbell - Does Chan Gailey know anything?
7 Cleveland QB Jimmy Clausen - Bye to Brady Quinn
8 Miami WR Dez Bryant Traded #12 to Oak - Big Tuna gets a Playmaker
9 Seattle S Taylor Mays - USC reunion
10 Jacksonville S Eric Berry - Reggie Nelson isn't the answer
11 Tampa Bay DE Jason Pierre-Paul Traded #3 to Denver - Morris takes a boom/bust player without spending #3 money
12 Oakland ILB Rolando McClain Traded # 8 to Mia - Al Davis takes a player who is good on the field instead of the Combine?
13 San Francisco S Earl Thomas - First Patrick Willis, now this.
14 Seattle RB CJ Spiller - Pete Carroll needs playmakers.
15 NY Giants OLB Sean Weatherspoon - I'm saddened.
16 Tennessee DE Derrick Morgan - Somebody better rush the passer in Tenn.
17 San Francisco OT Bryan Bulaga - How did SF get two great picks?
18 Pittsburgh OG Mike Iupati - He's big and Ben needs the protection
19 Atlanta CB Joe Haden - Just signed Dunta, now this guy falls in their laps.
20 Baltimore OLB Sergio Kindle Traded #25 to Hou - T. Sizzle's counterpart.
21 Cincinnati WR Golden Tate - Forget about T.O.
22 New England OLB Brandon Graham - Vrabel isn't bringing any pass rush.
23 Green Bay DT Dan Williams - I was hoping he'd still be there at #25. Dom Capers screws us again.
24 Philadelphia DE Everson Griffen - Philly takes a Trojan.
25 Houston CB Kyle Wilson Traded #20 to Bal - How would he look with Leigh Bodden?
26 Arizona DE Carlos Dunlap - Maybe a 3/4 Hybrid?
27 Dallas DE Jared Odrick - Marcus Spears watch out.
28 San Diego RB Ryan Mathews - Ladainian who?
29 NY Jets DT Brian Price - More weapons for Rex.
30 Minnesota CB Patrick Robinson - Everyone passes against the Vikings.
31 Indianapolis OT Charlie Brown - Keeping Peyton clean is a priority.
32 Washington RB Jahvid Best Traded #37 to NO
- Shannahan sees the next Clinton Portis to replace the old Clinton Portis.

[Blitzwood]

Nice Mock, but IF(Big IF) we sign Bodden, I don't see Smithiak taking a CB in the first.
Maybe Mathews or Price, in that order.

[gunn]

I don't see Green Bay drafting another nose in the first round after drafting Raji last season.

I was thinking Dan Williams would be more like Robaire Smith or Gary Walker in Capers' 3-4. However, you may be correct in that the Packers don't really "need" Dan Williams as much as they need OL or Secondary additions. So, perhaps they could draft Kyle Wilson and let Dan Williams fall to us at #25

They resigned their Left Tackle, but might draft Charlie Brown to groom.

[barrett]

Did GB play Raji at the Nose? I thought he played the 3-4 DE spot for them this year.

[Roy P]

They rotated a bit. For the most part, Harrell-Pickett-Jenkins and Raji was thrown in there along with Jolly for whoever needed a rest.

[Roy P]

I'm looking at trading up for a FS. For example, imagine the opportunity arose on draft day that had Eric Berry available at #13. Would the Texans be willing to trade our 1st and 2nd round picks for Eric Berry and the 49ers picks in the 4th and 6th rounds? While "giving up" 2 picks, I get 3 in return

Is Earl Thomas gone in this scenario?

[Roy P]

Yes, looking at my Mock draft, Earl Thomas is selected at #13. So, I was imagining trading up for him there. Then if Jacksonville had taken Thomas instead of Berry, that scenario would have Eric Berry available there. Everyone is so convinced that E.B. is a top 3 pick, that it seems ridiculous to consider. However, with teams looking at QBs, OTs, DTs, and Dez Bryant being THE dominant WR, there is a possibility for the FS to slip a bit. After Sean Taylor has shown that he can run a 4.3 in the 40, teams may move him up because of his size. In this scenario, I have the Seahawks taking the guy they coached in college with a familiarity with their system.

So, the question is would it be worth it to trade up for Eric Berry at #13 if the other 2 are off the board? Secondly, would it be worth it if we are talking about Earl Thomas?

[Roy P]

Possible mock draft scenario if we traded up with SF at #13.....

1 13 FS Earl Thomas
3 81 RB Ben Tate
4 110 OG Kyle Calloway
4 115 DT Geno Atkins
5 146 LB Jamar Chaney
6 172 DT Linval Joseph
6 177 OG Marshall Newhouse
6 187 CB AJ Jefferson
7 210 RB Lonyae Miller


I think this addresses the needs of the team and is probably close to where they will be going. I may have AJ Jefferson way too low after the Combine, but we will see.

[Blitzwood]

Roy,

If you have Spiller, Wilson and E. Thomas still on the board at 20, do you take Spiller or Thomas; or do you trade down to 25 and hope Wilson is still available?

I love Spiller and have since he was a Sophomore at Clemson. However, I'd rather have Ben Tate and Steve Slaton (not fumbling). Kyle Wilson may not still be available at 25. I'll just take Earl Thomas and be happy that I didn't have to trade up in order to get him. Perhaps I can get Brandon Ghee since I missed out on Wilson.

I would have to take Spiller. He was just as great as Mathews was last year in a tougher conference. And the good news is Spiller is sliding a bit because of a lack of feature RB's in the draft. I think if he can get past Seattle there's a good chance he'll be there. But Pete Caroll might wait until the second round and take Joe McKnight.
Mathews is a fine RB, but he and Foster might be a little too redundant in Houston, where as with Spiller we'd get a real homerun threat everytime he's on the field.

With Earl Thomas we'd get a great FS, but I would have to give the nod to Spiller who's a legit top 10 talent.

[Roy P]

Thought I'd give it another go. Probably going to need to update the picks now that there have been a couple more trades, but mainly wanted to see who may go earlier than is being 'expected' based upon needs. Interestingly, the DE's drop in this mock as teams choose their particular flavor.

Round 1

10 Jax FS Eric Berry - Reggie Nelson in the dog house
11 Den LB Sergio Kindle - Opposite of Dumervil
12 Mia LB Brandon Graham - The "new" DeMarcus

19 Atl RB CJ Spiller - Turner, Norwood, & Spiller (Oh My)
20 Hou CB Joe Haden - A bad 40 is Houston's blessing
21 Cin DT Dan Williams - AFC North = must stop run game
22 NEP DE Jared Odrick - Seymour is gone
23 GB OG Mike Iupati - Not happy with Colledge
24 Phi RB Ryan Mathews - Perhaps Andy will run more
25 Bal CB Patrick Robinson - Ed Reed may retire, need better CBs
26 Arz DT Lamarr Houston - Dockett and Houston
27 Dal WR Golden Tate - Roy Williams is a bad name in Dallas
28 SD LB Everson Griffen - Merriman hasn't signed his tender
29 NYJ DE Carlos Dunlap - Greg Ellis is older now

78 Car DE Corey Wootton - Peppers is gone
79 SF RB Joe McKnight - Gore, Coffee, McKnight (Singletary would like to be able to run the ball)
80 Den CB Amari Spievey - A. Goodman is a starter
81 Hou SS Darrell Stuckey - I think he can play FS in this system.

I decided to quit here since I got through to Houston's pick.
