Two-Round NFL Mock Draft Prior To the Senior Bowl

Pick Team Pos Player School
1 St. Louis Rams DT Ndamukong Suh Nebraska
  Suh is by far the best player in this year's draft. Although St. Louis would like a franchise quarterback, none are worth the first pick, or the price tag.
2 Detroit Lions DT Gerald McCoy # Oklahoma
  The Lions had issues in creating a pass rush. McCoy will provide pressure up the middle, helping free up Jason Hunter and Sammie Hill at the defensive ends.
3 Tampa Bay Buccaneers S Eric Berry # Tennessee
  Eric Berry is a nice consolation prize for the Bucs after watching both DTs go off the board. The Bucs defense needs difference makers, and both safeties will probably be replaced. Berry can step in and improve Tampa's secondary.
4 Washington Redskins OT Russell Okung Oklahoma St.
  The Redskins need help on the O-line and in the secondary and will look hard at Joe Haden. But Okung still being available is hard for Mike Shanahan to pass up.
5 Kansas City Chiefs WR Dez Bryant # Oklahoma St.
  The Chiefs were desperate for a second receiver and jumped at the chance to add Chris Chambers last year. Although Chambers proved serviceable, a playmaker like Bryant can help open up the offense.
6 Seattle Seahawks CB Joe Haden # Florida
  The Seahawks need help in the secondary to slow down opposing offenses and create turnovers. This unit only had 13 interceptions. Haden is the top CB and is aggressive looking to make plays.
7 Cleveland Browns ILB Rolando McClain # Alabama
  The Browns were devastated with injuries on defense and sorely lacked an on the field leader. McClain can become the leader of this defense next year and for years to come.
8 Oakland Raiders DT Brian Price # UCLA
  Price is an incredible athlete, which is something Al Davis always looks for. The Raiders' DTs were average at best, and Price can provide them some options with his ability to move to DE on plays.
9 Buffalo Bills OT Anthony Davis # Rutgers
  The Bills gave up 46 sacks (fourth worst in the NFL). The big problem was at LT, and Buffalo has a great opportunity to improve with Anthony Davis.
10 Jacksonville Jaguars DE Derrick Morgan # Georgia Tech
  Jacksonville produced only 14 sacks last year. A solid pass rusher who can get after the QB will help this defense return to its stronger days.
11 Denver Broncos OLB Sergio Kindle Texas
  Denver still needs to create more of a pass rush. Sergio Kindle can bring it, plus he can also drop back in coverage.
12 Miami Dolphins ILB Brandon Spikes Florida
  The Dolphins need an elite wide receiver, a solid right tackle and a solid tackler at inside linebacker next to Channing Crowder. None of the receivers have the elite look, and any right tackle would be a reach. But Florida's Spikes allows them to get a quality pick while addressing a need.
13 San Francisco 49ers OT Bruce Campbell # Maryland
  The 49ers need to keep pass rushers off Alex Smith. Campbell's long arms and skills will help Smith, and he has additional talent to help him develop.
14 Seattle Seahawks QB Jimmy Clausen # Notre Dame
  Pete Carroll may be backing Matt Hasselbeck right now, but even he knows that a QB for the future needs to be found. Clausen can spend a year learning or step in if Hasselbeck struggles or suffers another injury.
15 New York Giants S Earl Thomas # Texas
  The Giants were desperate for secondary help after Kenny Phillips was lost to injury. The right addition can keep this DB unit at an elite level even after an injury.
16 Tennessee Titans DT Dan Williams Tennessee
  The Titans showed they missed Albert Haynesworth's presence in the middle. Williams is no Haynesworth, but he is a strong DT that can force double teams and collapse the pocket.
17 San Francisco 49ers DE Jerry Hughes TCU
  An excellent outside rusher, Jerry Hughes can play the 3-4 OLB for the 49ers defense.
18 Pittsburgh Steelers OT Bryan Bulaga # Iowa
  The Steelers no longer dominate the trenches, forcing them to become more of a throw first team. Bulaga will bring back some of the physicality and toughness to the line.
19 Atlanta Falcons DE Carlos Dunlap # Florida
  Atlanta's only glaring weakness on defense was the lack of a consistent pass rush. Having to face Drew Brees twice a year, the Falcons need to find a way to generate a better rush.
20 Houston Texans RB C.J. Spiller Clemson
  Houston is still searching for their No. 1 back. Steve Slaton had the role but lost it last season, and no one else has truly assumed it.
21 Cincinnati Bengals WR Golden Tate # Notre Dame
  The Bengals need another receiver to step up. Chad Ochocinco may talk a big game, but he can't do it alone. Neither Laveranues Coles nor Andre Caldwell proved to be a reliable No. 2.
22 New England Patriots DE Jason Pierre-Paul # South Fla.
  The Patriots have reached the strange position of rebuilding a playoff team. Yes, they lead the AFC East, but they were torn apart by the Ravens. Pierre-Paul begins the process, providing support at what was once the strongest part of the defense.
23 Green Bay Packers CB Trevard Lindley Kentucky
  The Packers secondary took a hit when Al Harris went down. Harris and Charles Woodson still bring it but are both in their mid-30s. The future has to be addressed.
24 Philadelphia Eagles OLB Navorro Bowman # Penn St.
  The Eagles lack a true Sam linebacker. Will Witherspoon is more of a weakside player, and neither Chris Gocong nor Moise Fokou truly showed the ability to be a three-down Sam linebacker.
25 Baltimore Ravens RB Jonathan Dwyer # Georgia Tech
  The Ravens may not keep Willis McGahee this year and will need someone else to get the tough yards for first downs and touchdowns. Dwyer is a power back who will be a great complement to Ray Rice.
26 Arizona Cardinals OLB Eric Norwood South Carolina
  Norwood can step in as a pass rusher for the Cardinals, a point of weakness last season.
27 Dallas Cowboys OT Trent Williams Oklahoma
  Both Flozell Adams and Marc Colombo had struggles and are questionable to return. Williams, who can play either left or right tackle, will give the Cowboys more options along the front line.
28 San Diego Chargers RB Ryan Mathews # Fresno St.
  Mathews is an excellent runner and can replace the aging LaDainian Tomlinson. With Darren Sproles as the speed/third down back, Mathews will be given the opportunity to highlight his strengths while hiding his weaknesses.
29 New York Jets DT Terrence Cody # Alabama
  Cody's size makes him an excellent NT prospect to play in the Jets' 3-4.
30 Minnesota Vikings QB Sam Bradford # Oklahoma
  Every indication is that Favre will retire...again. Whether he does or not, the future QB situation for the Vikings is questionable. Tarvaris Jackson showed some improvement but still doesn't have the look of a signal caller, and Bradford having time to develop before stepping in would be nice.
31 New Orleans Saints OT Charles Brown Southern California
  Brown is an excellent developmental lineman that can learn to help protect Brees, a must for the Saints to become a perennial power.
32 Indianapolis Colts OLB Sean Weatherspoon Missouri
  The Colts' front seven hasn't been exactly spectacular, but it was solid enough for a Super Bowl run. Weatherspoon could add some playmaking ability and create some havoc with his blitzes.
