Now that the NFL Combine has been digested and we’re knee deep in Pro Days and Free Agency 2010, NFL Mock Drafts are starting to become relevant. I have compiled mocks from some of the biggest names on the net and compare my picks to theirs.
Including: John Lorge (3/11), Mel Kiper ESPN (3/10), Todd McShay Scouts Inc (3/10), Daniel Jeremiah Move The Sticks (3/8), Ourlads Scouting Services (2/26), Walter Football (3/9), Pat Kirwan NFL.com (3/2), Peter Schrager Fox/Scout.com (3/4), Rob Rang CBS (3/9), Chad Reuter CBS (3/2), Pete Prisco CBS (3/4), and Clark Judge CBS (3/8).
1. St. Louis Rams
Since the combine the Rams have made it apparent that they are going to give Sam Bradford every chance to earn the No. 1 pick. Even if he doesn't earn it, he could still be their guy because of the money top picks earn.
John Lorge - Sam Bradford, QB, Oklahoma
Mel Kiper - Sam Bradford, QB, Oklahoma
Todd McShay - Sam Bradford, QB, Oklahoma
Daniel Jeremiah - Sam Bradford, QB, Oklahoma
Ourlads - Ndamukong Suh, DT, Nebraska
Walter Football - Sam Bradford, QB, Oklahoma
Pat Kirwan (NFL) - Sam Bradford, QB, Oklahoma
Peter Schrage (Fox) - Ndamukong Suh, DT, Nebraska
Rob Rang (CBS) - Sam Bradford, QB, Oklahoma
Chad Reuter (CBS) - Sam Bradford, QB, Oklahoma
Pete Prisco (CBS) - Sam Bradford, QB, Oklahoma
Clark Judge (CBS) - Sam Bradford, QB, Oklahoma
2. Detroit Lions
The Lions will get their wish as it looks like Ndamukong Suh will fall to two. He's a better fit for their system than Gerald McCoy and will make an impact from day one.
John Lorge - Ndamukong Suh, DT, Nebraska
Mel Kiper - Ndamukong Suh, DT, Nebraska
Todd McShay - Ndamukong Suh, DT, Nebraska
Daniel Jeremiah - Ndamukong Suh, DT, Nebraska
Ourlads - Gerald McCoy, DT, Oklahoma
Walter Football - Russell Okung, OT, Oklahoma State
Pat Kirwan (NFL) - Ndamukong Suh, DT, Nebraska
Peter Schrage (Fox) - Gerald McCoy, DT, Oklahoma
Rob Rang (CBS) - Ndamukong Suh, DT, Nebraska
Chad Reuter (CBS) - Gerald McCoy, DT, Oklahoma
Pete Prisco (CBS) - Ndamukong Suh, DT, Nebraska
Clark Judge (CBS) - Ndamukong Suh, DT, Nebraska
3. Tampa Bay Bucs
It's still intriguing to mock Eric Berry or Dez Bryant to Tampa in this situation, but when the top need meets the best player available at three you almost have no choice but to make Gerald McCoy your man.
John Lorge - Gerald McCoy, DT, Oklahoma
Mel Kiper - Gerald McCoy, DT, Oklahoma
Todd McShay - Gerald McCoy, DT, Oklahoma
Daniel Jeremiah - Gerald McCoy, DT, Oklahoma
Ourlads - Eric Berry, S, Tennessee
Walter Football - Ndamukong Suh, DT, Nebraska
Pat Kirwan (NFL) - Gerald McCoy, DT, Oklahoma
Peter Schrage (Fox) - Russell Okung, OT, Oklahoma State
Rob Rang (CBS) - Gerald McCoy, DT, Oklahoma
Chad Reuter (CBS) - Ndamukong Suh, DT, Nebraska
Pete Prisco (CBS) - Gerald McCoy, DT, Oklahoma
Clark Judge (CBS) - Gerald McCoy, DT, Oklahoma
4. Washington Redskins
Most new regimes start with a new QB but Washington can look in the next few rounds or buck the trend and stick with Jason Campbell. The Skins couldn't get their hands on Chad Clifton, and now it's time to solve their tackle problem.
John Lorge - Russell Okung, OT, Oklahoma State
Mel Kiper - Jimmy Clausen, QB, Notre Dame
Todd McShay - Russell Okung, OT, Oklahoma State
Daniel Jeremiah - Russell Okung, OT, Oklahoma State
Ourlads - Russell Okung, OT, Oklahoma State
Walter Football - Jimmy Clausen, QB, Notre Dame
Pat Kirwan (NFL) - Russell Okung, OT, Oklahoma State
Peter Schrage (Fox) - Sam Bradford, QB, Oklahoma
Rob Rang (CBS) - Russell Okung, OT, Oklahoma State
Chad Reuter (CBS) - Russell Okung, OT, Oklahoma State
Pete Prisco (CBS) - Russell Okung, OT, Oklahoma State
Clark Judge (CBS) - Russell Okung, OT, Oklahoma State
5. Kansas City Chiefs
There is an Iowa connection in KC which makes Bryan Bulaga an enticing pick. At the same time their leadership is very defense oriented and Eric Berry's amazing combine only solidifies his top five status.
John Lorge - Eric Berry, S, Tennessee
Mel Kiper - Eric Berry, S, Tennessee
Todd McShay - Eric Berry, S, Tennessee
Daniel Jeremiah - Eric Berry, S, Tennessee
Ourlads - Rolando McClain, LB, Alabama
Walter Football - Bryan Bulaga, OT, Iowa
Pat Kirwan (NFL) - Bryan Bulaga, OT, Iowa
Peter Schrage (Fox) - Bryan Bulaga, OT, Iowa
Rob Rang (CBS) - Bryan Bulaga, OT, Iowa
Chad Reuter (CBS) - Eric Berry, S, Tennessee
Pete Prisco (CBS) - Rolando McClain, LB, Alabama
Clark Judge (CBS) - Eric Berry, S, Tennessee
6. Seattle Seahawks
Seattle is the first pick to really shake the board. C.J. Spiller makes sense on my big board but I'm not sure where others are valuing him.
We haven't seen much from Jimmy Clausen during the draft process which makes me think he knows he is going in the top 10, and Seattle just traded their backup QB.
John Lorge - Jimmy Clausen, QB, Notre Dame
Mel Kiper - Russell Okung, OT, Oklahoma State
Todd McShay - Bryan Bulaga, OT, Iowa
Daniel Jeremiah - C.J. Spiller, RB, Clemson
Ourlads - Jimmy Clausen, QB, Notre Dame
Walter Football - Gerald McCoy, DT, Oklahoma
Pat Kirwan (NFL) - Jimmy Clausen, QB, Notre Dame
Peter Schrage (Fox) - Anthony Davis, OT, Rutgers
Rob Rang (CBS) - Jimmy Clausen, QB, Notre Dame
Chad Reuter (CBS) - Jason Pierre-Paul, DE, South Florida
Pete Prisco (CBS) - Bruce Campbell, OT, Maryland
Clark Judge (CBS) - Bryan Bulaga, OT, Iowa
7. Cleveland Browns
Joe Haden's lack of elite speed or height should keep him out of the top 10 unless he shaves tenths off his forty at Florida's pro day.
If Eric Berry slips he will be the pick, if not the Browns will be fighting between Derrick Morgan and Dez Bryant. The Browns need playmakers, so if Bryant runs well in his personal pro day the only question is who will be throwing him the ball?
John Lorge - Dez Bryant, WR, Oklahoma State
Mel Kiper - Jason Pierre-Paul, DE, South Florida
Todd McShay - Joe Haden, CB, Florida
Daniel Jeremiah - Derrick Morgan, DE, Georgia Tech
Ourlads - Joe Haden, CB, Florida
Walter Football - Eric Berry, S, Tennessee
Pat Kirwan (NFL) - Joe Haden, CB, Florida
Peter Schrage (Fox) - Eric Berry, S, Tennessee
Rob Rang (CBS) - Eric Berry, S, Tennessee
Chad Reuter (CBS) - Joe Haden, CB, Florida
Pete Prisco (CBS) - Eric Berry, S, Tennessee
Clark Judge (CBS) - Joe Haden, CB, Florida
8. Oakland Raiders
Oakland runs speed. I read that in the Raiders war room they add 0.04 to everyone’s forty, which would still give Bruce Campbell a 4.89 to go with his 36-inch arms and amazing build.
John Lorge - Bruce Campbell, OT, Maryland
Mel Kiper - Bruce Campbell, OT, Maryland
Todd McShay - Bruce Campbell, OT, Maryland
Daniel Jeremiah - Jason Pierre-Paul, DE, South Florida
Ourlads - Anthony Davis, OT, Rutgers
Walter Football - Bruce Campbell, OT, Maryland
Pat Kirwan (NFL) - Anthony Davis, OT, Rutgers
Peter Schrage (Fox) - Derrick Morgan, DE, Georgia Tech
Rob Rang (CBS) - Bruce Campbell, OT, Maryland
Chad Reuter (CBS) - Bruce Campbell, OT, Maryland
Pete Prisco (CBS) - Trent Williams, OT, Oklahoma
Clark Judge (CBS) - Bruce Campbell, OT, Maryland
9. Buffalo Bills
The Bills offensive line has been severely depleted over the last two years due to trades, injuries, and retirements. If Clausen is off the board look for Buffalo to ignore their need for a nose guard and draft the second rated tackle prospect on the board.
John Lorge - Bryan Bulaga, OT, Iowa
Mel Kiper - Trent Williams, OT, Oklahoma
Todd McShay - Jimmy Clausen, QB, Notre Dame
Daniel Jeremiah - Dan Williams, DT, Tennessee
Ourlads - Sam Bradford, QB, Oklahoma
Walter Football - Trent Williams, OT, Oklahoma
Pat Kirwan (NFL) - Rolando McClain, LB, Alabama
Peter Schrage (Fox) - Jimmy Clausen, QB, Notre Dame
Rob Rang (CBS) - Trent Williams, OT, Oklahoma
Chad Reuter (CBS) - Bryan Bulaga, OT, Iowa
Pete Prisco (CBS) - Jimmy Clausen, QB, Notre Dame
Clark Judge (CBS) - Jimmy Clausen, QB, Notre Dame
10. Jacksonville Jaguars
Since the Jags signed Aaron Kampman to play defensive end this pick becomes a bit of a wildcard in the current scenario.
Haden still doesn't seem like the right guy, Berry and McCoy are long gone, and Tim Tebow is still learning how to throw.
C.J. Spiller is the best player on the board at this point, and he will be dangerous in the return game and can play with or for MJD adding depth to their offense.
John Lorge - C.J. Spiller, RB, Clemson
Mel Kiper - Derrick Morgan, DE, Georgia Tech
Todd McShay - Earl Thomas, S, Texas
Daniel Jeremiah - R. Matthews RB Fresno State
Ourlads - Dez Bryant, WR, Oklahoma State
Walter Football - Dez Bryant, WR, Oklahoma State
Pat Kirwan (NFL) - Eric Berry, S, Tennessee
Peter Schrage (Fox) - Jason Pierre-Paul, DE, South Florida
Rob Rang (CBS) - Earl Thomas, S, Texas
Chad Reuter (CBS) - Derrick Morgan, DE, Georgia Tech
Pete Prisco (CBS) - Joe Haden, CB, Florida
Clark Judge (CBS) - Derrick Morgan, DE, Georgia Tech
11. Denver Broncos (From Chicago)
The Broncos just signed Jamal Williams to play nose tackle, reducing the need for Dan Williams (no relation), but it doesn't rule him out completely.
If Bryant is off the board I would look for Denver to get a dual sided pass rusher like we see in Dallas and Pittsburgh by drafting Derrick Morgan.
John Lorge - Derrick Morgan, DE, Georgia Tech
Mel Kiper - Dez Bryant, WR, Oklahoma State
Todd McShay - Dez Bryant, WR, Oklahoma State
Daniel Jeremiah - Earl Thomas, S, Texas
Ourlads - Derrick Morgan, DE, Georgia Tech
Walter Football - Dan Williams, DT, Tennessee
Pat Kirwan (NFL) - Dan Williams, DT, Tennessee
Peter Schrage (Fox) - Dez Bryant, WR, Oklahoma State
Rob Rang (CBS) - Dez Bryant, WR, Oklahoma State
Chad Reuter (CBS) - Dez Bryant, WR, Oklahoma State
Pete Prisco (CBS) - Dez Bryant, WR, Oklahoma State
Clark Judge (CBS) - Dez Bryant, WR, Oklahoma State
12. Miami Dolphins
The Fins inked their middle backer, fixing one of their holes in the middle, but it looks like Jason Ferguson may never suit up for the team again. If Williams falls to Miami this should be a lock.
John Lorge - Dan Williams, DT, Tennessee
Mel Kiper - Dan Williams, DT, Tennessee
Todd McShay - Dan Williams, DT, Tennessee
Daniel Jeremiah - Brandon Graham, DE/OLB, Michigan
Ourlads - Dan Williams, DT, Tennessee
Walter Football - Jason Pierre-Paul, DE, South Florida
Pat Kirwan (NFL) - Earl Thomas, S, Texas
Peter Schrage (Fox) - Dan Williams, DT, Tennessee
Rob Rang (CBS) - Dan Williams, DT, Tennessee
Chad Reuter (CBS) - Rolando McClain, LB, Alabama
Pete Prisco (CBS) - Brandon Graham, DE/OLB, Michigan
Clark Judge (CBS) - Sergio Kindle, DE/OLB, Texas
13. San Francisco 49ers
The Niners are on the verge of the playoffs but still need a few first rounders to get them there. Haden becomes a reality, as does a pass rusher, but with Seattle looking for tackles at 14 expect Mike Singletary to fall in love with Trent Williams' work ethic.
John Lorge - Trent Williams, OT, Oklahoma
Mel Kiper - Joe Haden, CB, Florida
Todd McShay - Trent Williams, OT, Oklahoma
Daniel Jeremiah - Bryan Bulaga, OT, Iowa
Ourlads - Bryan Bulaga, OT, Iowa
Walter Football - Joe Haden, CB, Florida
Pat Kirwan (NFL) - Trent Williams, OT, Oklahoma
Peter Schrage (Fox) - Joe Haden, CB, Florida
Rob Rang (CBS) - Anthony Davis, OT, Rutgers
Chad Reuter (CBS) - Jimmy Clausen, QB, Notre Dame
Pete Prisco (CBS) - Anthony Davis, OT, Rutgers
Clark Judge (CBS) - Anthony Davis, OT, Rutgers
14. Seattle Seahawks (From Denver)
I don't see Spiller falling past Seattle but right now I don't have him getting there. The Hawks need help on D but their offensive line was one of the worst in the NFL last season.
Anthony Davis isn't a perfect prospect but he has the physical tools you look for in a left tackle.
John Lorge - Anthony Davis, OT, Rutgers
Mel Kiper - Everson Griffen, DE, USC
Todd McShay - C.J. Spiller, RB, Clemson
Daniel Jeremiah - Anthony Davis, OT, Rutgers
Ourlads - Trent Williams, OT, Oklahoma
Walter Football - Anthony Davis, OT, Rutgers
Pat Kirwan (NFL) - C.J. Spiller, RB, Clemson
Peter Schrage (Fox) - C.J. Spiller, RB, Clemson
Rob Rang (CBS) - Derrick Morgan, DE, Georgia Tech
Chad Reuter (CBS) - C.J. Spiller, RB, Clemson
Pete Prisco (CBS) - Bryan Bulaga, OT, Iowa
Clark Judge (CBS) - C.J. Spiller, RB, Clemson
15. New York Giants
If you don't have McClain going to KC then you probably have him going to NY. This seems like the biggest lock in the first round.
John Lorge - Rolando McClain, LB, Alabama
Mel Kiper - Rolando McClain, LB, Alabama
Todd McShay - Rolando McClain, LB, Alabama
Daniel Jeremiah - Rolando McClain, LB, Alabama
Ourlads - Earl Thomas, S, Texas
Walter Football - Derrick Morgan, DE, Georgia Tech
Pat Kirwan (NFL) - Sergio Kindle, DE/OLB, Texas
Peter Schrage (Fox) - Rolando McClain, LB, Alabama
Rob Rang (CBS) - Rolando McClain, LB, Alabama
Chad Reuter (CBS) - Earl Thomas, S, Texas
Pete Prisco (CBS) - Dan Williams, DT, Tennessee
Clark Judge (CBS) -Rolando McClain, LB, Alabama
16. Tennessee Titans
The Titans have to help their sorry D line. Brandon Graham is my top defensive end left on the board but I expect Tennessee to fall in love with the size and speed of Jason Pierre-Paul.
John Lorge - Jason Pierre-Paul, DE, South Florida
Mel Kiper - Sergio Kindle, DE/OLB, Texas
Todd McShay - Derrick Morgan, DE, Georgia Tech
Daniel Jeremiah - Dez Bryant, WR, Oklahoma State
Ourlads - C.J. Spiller, RB, Clemson
Walter Football - Brandon Graham, DE/OLB, Michigan
Pat Kirwan (NFL) - Derrick Morgan, DE, Georgia Tech
Peter Schrage (Fox) - Carlos Dunlap, DE, Florida
Rob Rang (CBS) - Jason Pierre-Paul, DE, South Florida
Chad Reuter (CBS) - Carlos Dunlap, DE, Florida
Pete Prisco (CBS) - Jason Pierre-Paul, DE, South Florida
Clark Judge (CBS) - Jason Pierre-Paul, DE, South Florida
17. San Francisco 49ers (From Carolina)
You could see Coach Singletary drooling over Brandon Graham all week at Senior Bowl practice. If the Niners make this pick it may turn out to be the best value pick of the draft.
John Lorge - Brandon Graham, DE/OLB, Michigan
Mel Kiper - Mike Iupati, OG, Idaho
Todd McShay - Jason Pierre-Paul, DE, South Florida
Daniel Jeremiah - Kyle Wilson, CB, Boise State
Ourlads - Carlos Dunlap, DE, Florida
Walter Football - C.J. Spiller, RB, Clemson
Pat Kirwan (NFL) - Taylor Mays, S, USC
Peter Schrage (Fox) - Trent Williams, OT, Oklahoma
Rob Rang (CBS) - C.J. Spiller, RB, Clemson
Chad Reuter (CBS) - Trent Williams, OT, Oklahoma
Pete Prisco (CBS) - Earl Thomas, S, Texas
Clark Judge (CBS) - Brandon Graham, DE/OLB, Michigan
18. Pittsburgh Steelers
Pittsburgh does need to do a better job in pass protection but they also need to run the ball more effectively. Instead of reaching on a tackle they can go with the best interior line player, whether that’s Mike Iupati or Maurkice Pouncey on their board.
John Lorge - Mike Iupati, OG, Idaho
Mel Kiper - Anthony Davis, OT, Rutgers
Todd McShay - Mike Iupati, OG, Idaho
Daniel Jeremiah - Joe Haden, CB, Florida
Ourlads - Taylor Mays, S, USC
Walter Football - Rolando McClain, LB, Alabama
Pat Kirwan (NFL) - Patrick Robinson, CB, Florida State
Peter Schrage (Fox) - Mike Iupati, OG, Idaho
Rob Rang (CBS) - Maurkice Pouncey, C, Florida
Chad Reuter (CBS) - Mike Iupati, OG, Idaho
Pete Prisco (CBS) - Mike Iupati, OG, Idaho
Clark Judge (CBS) - Maurkice Pouncey, C, Florida
19. Atlanta Falcons
The Falcons addressed their need at corner with Dunta Robinson and now it's time to pressure the passer.
Everson Griffen is an every down end who tested more athletic than people predicted, and I wouldn't expect them to take the troubled and lazy Carlos Dunlap in a post-Mike Vick world.
John Lorge - Everson Griffen, DE, Southern California
Mel Kiper - C.J. Spiller, RB, Clemson
Todd McShay - Everson Griffen, DE, USC
Daniel Jeremiah - Kareem Jackson, CB, Alabama
Ourlads - Patrick Robinson, CB, Florida State
Walter Football - Sean Weatherspoon, LB, Missouri
Pat Kirwan (NFL) - Jason Pierre-Paul, DE, South Florida
Peter Schrage (Fox) - Earl Thomas, S, Texas
Rob Rang (CBS) - Brandon Graham, DE/OLB, Michigan
Chad Reuter (CBS) - Everson Griffen, DE, USC
Pete Prisco (CBS) - Derrick Morgan, DE, Georgia Tech
Clark Judge (CBS) - Carlos Dunlap, DE, Florida
20. Houston Texans
Two weeks ago this would have been crazy but the size/speed combo is most important for corners. Joe Haden's tape keeps him in the first round and Houston gets the top corner in the draft at 20.
John Lorge - Joe Haden, CB, Florida
Mel Kiper - Kyle Wilson, CB, Boise State
Todd McShay - Kyle Wilson, CB, Boise State
Daniel Jeremiah - Devin McCourty, CB, Rutgers
Ourlads - Jonathan Dwyer, RB, Georgia Tech
Walter Football - Earl Thomas, S, Texas
Pat Kirwan (NFL) - Kyle Wilson, CB, Boise State
Peter Schrage (Fox) - Kyle Wilson, CB, Boise State
Rob Rang (CBS) - Joe Haden, CB, Florida
Chad Reuter (CBS) - Dan Williams, DT, Tennessee
Pete Prisco (CBS) - C.J. Spiller, RB, Clemson
Clark Judge (CBS) - Jared Odrick, DT, Penn State
21. Cincinnati Bengals
The Bengals do a few things. They take risks on players and recently they've taken players from USC. Mays has Pro Bowl potential and it's hard to seem him flunking out with his impressive makeup.
John Lorge - Taylor Mays, S, Southern California
Mel Kiper - Arrelious Benn, WR, Illinois
Todd McShay - Taylor Mays, S, USC
Daniel Jeremiah - Jermaine Gresham, TE, Oklahoma
Ourlads - Jermaine Gresham, TE, Oklahoma
Walter Football - Taylor Mays, S, USC
Pat Kirwan (NFL) - Golden Tate, WR, Notre Dame
Peter Schrage (Fox) - Taylor Mays, S, USC
Rob Rang (CBS) - Taylor Mays, S, USC
Chad Reuter (CBS) - Taylor Mays, S, USC
Pete Prisco (CBS) - Jermaine Gresham, TE, Oklahoma
Clark Judge (CBS) - Golden Tate, WR, Notre Dame
New England Patriots
The Pats have several holes to fill on their D but the biggest one seems to be the lack of an elite pass rusher.
Sergio Kindle may be the best hybrid prospect in the draft if you want a guy who can drop back. If Graham is there and Kindle is not I could see that happening too.
John Lorge - Sergio Kindle, DE/OLB, Texas
Mel Kiper - Brandon Graham, DE/OLB, Michigan
Todd McShay - Brandon Graham, DE/OLB, Michigan
Daniel Jeremiah - Everson Griffen, DE, USC
Ourlads - Sean Weatherspoon, LB, Missuour
Walter Football - Jared Odrick, DT, Penn State
Pat Kirwan (NFL) - Brandon Graham, DE/OLB, Michigan
Peter Schrage (Fox) - Brandon Graham, DE/OLB, Michigan
Rob Rang (CBS) - Sergio Kindle, DE/OLB, Texas
Chad Reuter (CBS) - Brandon Graham, DE/OLB, Michigan
Pete Prisco (CBS) - Ricky Sapp, DE/OLB, Clemson
Clark Judge (CBS) - Jermaine Gresham, TE, Oklahoma
23. Green Bay Packers
Most see the Packers drafting a lineman, and from the looks of the other mocks any lineman will do.
I do think Charles Brown is on their board but the Packers rushing attacking hasn't done much since Ahman Green's first trip through town. Ryan Mathews is a player who will make the defense aware of the run, slowing their pass rush.
John Lorge - Ryan Mathews, RB, Fresno State
Mel Kiper - Bryan Bulaga, OT, Iowa
Todd McShay - Anthony Davis, OT, Rutgers
Daniel Jeremiah - Trent Williams, OT, Oklahoma
Ourlads - Mike Iupati, OG, Idaho
Walter Football - Charles Brown, OT, USC
Pat Kirwan (NFL) - Mike Iupati, OG, Idaho
Peter Schrage (Fox) - Bruce Campbell, OT, Maryland
Rob Rang (CBS) - Mike Iupati, OG, Idaho
Chad Reuter (CBS) - Maurkice Pouncey, C, Florida
Pete Prisco (CBS) - Kyle Wilson, CB, Boise State
Clark Judge (CBS) - Trent Williams, OT, Oklahoma
24. Philadelphia Eagles
The Eagles did sign Marlin Jackson to a small deal as they continue their safety search, but his role has not yet been defined. If a talented player like Earl Thomas is there he is tough to pass on considering the need. Ends, backers, and a center all make sense too.
John Lorge - Earl Thomas, S, Texas
Mel Kiper - Maurkice Pouncey, C, Florida
Todd McShay - Sergio Kindle, DE/OLB, Texas
Daniel Jeremiah - Sergio Kindle, DE/OLB, Texas
Ourlads - Brandon Spikes, LB, Florida
Walter Football - Everson Griffen, DE, USC
Pat Kirwan (NFL) - Sean Weatherspoon, LB, Missouri
Peter Schrage (Fox) - Maurkice Pouncey, C, Florida
Rob Rang (CBS) - Carlos Dunlap, DE, Florida
Chad Reuter (CBS) - Sergio Kindle, DE/OLB, Texas
Pete Prisco (CBS) - Charles Brown, OT, USC
Clark Judge (CBS) - Taylor Mays, S, USC
25. Baltimore Ravens
After bringing in Anquan Boldin, it reduces Baltimore's need for a first round WR, a position they've struggled drafting. Baltimore does need to replace some front seven players but the talented Jermaine Gresham may have Ozzie Newsom looking in the mirror.
John Lorge - Jermaine Gresham, TE, Oklahoma
Mel Kiper - Jermaine Gresham, TE, Oklahoma
Todd McShay - Jermaine Gresham, TE, Oklahoma
Daniel Jeremiah - Brian Price, DT, UCLA
Ourlads - Arrelious Benn, WR, Illinois
Walter Football - Jermaine Gresham, TE, Oklahoma
Pat Kirwan (NFL) - Dez Bryant, WR, Oklahoma State
Peter Schrage (Fox) - Golden Tate, WR, Notre Dame
Rob Rang (CBS) - Jared Odrick, DT, Penn State
Chad Reuter (CBS) - Demaryius Thomas, WR, Georgia Tech
Pete Prisco (CBS) - Patrick Robinson, CB, Florida State
Clark Judge (CBS) - Arrelious Benn, WR, Illinois
26. Arizona Cardinals
With Karlos Dansby gone Arizona needs a new vocal leader in their huddle, and Sean Weatherspoon fits that role perfectly, plus he has the versatility to play inside in the 3-4.
An outside rusher like Jerry Hughes is a very good pick considering their need but Weatherspoon as been a star of the draft process.
John Lorge - Sean Weatherspoon, LB, Missouri
Mel Kiper - Jerry Hughes, DE/OLB, TCU
Todd McShay - Jerry Hughes, DE/OLB, TCU
Daniel Jeremiah - Sean Weatherspoon, LB, Missouri
Ourlads - Sergio Kindle, DE/OLB, Texas
Walter Football - Kyle Wilson, CB, Boise State
Pat Kirwan (NFL) - Charles Brown, OT, USC
Peter Schrage (Fox) - Sergio Kindle, DE/OLB, Texas
Rob Rang (CBS) - Rodger Staffold, OT, Indiana
Chad Reuter (CBS) - Jerry Hughes, DE/OLB, TCU
Pete Prisco (CBS) - Sergio Kindle, DE/OLB, Texas
Clark Judge (CBS) - Vladimir Ducasse, OT, Massachesets
27. Dallas Cowboys
The Cowboys' two biggest draft needs are safety and tackle—but Dallas doesn't always draft their biggest need first.
They had a close eye on Jared Odrick (and Mike Iupati) at the Senior Bowl and while they have some studs on the D-line they aren't thrilled with their situations there.
John Lorge - Jared Odrick, DT, Penn State
Mel Kiper - Earl Thomas, S, Texas
Todd McShay - Charles Brown, OT, USC
Daniel Jeremiah - Charles Brown, OT, USC
Ourlads - Nate Allen, S, South Florida
Walter Football - Mike Iupati, OG, Idaho
Pat Kirwan (NFL) - Bruce Campbell, OT, Maryland
Peter Schrage (Fox) - Charles Brown, OT, USC
Rob Rang (CBS) - Charles Brown, OT, USC
Chad Reuter (CBS) - Anthony Davis, OT, Rutgers
Pete Prisco (CBS) - Taylor Mays, S, USC
Clark Judge (CBS) - Earl Thomas, S, Texas
28. San Diego Chargers
In the post LT era running back is a huge need for San Diego, but they've been actively trying to acquire a vet and if Ryan Mathews is off the board there isn't an every down back worth the pick.
Terrence Cody has many doubters but he came in the combine at 354 and what he does on the field can't be ignored.
John Lorge - Terrence Cody, DT, Alabama
Mel Kiper - Terrence Cody, DT, Alabama
Todd McShay - Ryan Mathews, RB, Fresno State
Daniel Jeremiah - Jared Odrick, DT, Penn State
Ourlads - Jahvid Best, RB, California
Walter Football - Ryan Mathews, RB, Fresno State
Pat Kirwan (NFL) - Ryan Mathews, RB, Fresno State
Peter Schrage (Fox) - Terrence Cody, DT, Alabama
Rob Rang (CBS) - Ryan Mathews, RB, Fresno State
Chad Reuter (CBS) - Ryan Mathews, RB, Fresno State
Pete Prisco (CBS) - Ryan Mathews, RB, Fresno State
Clark Judge (CBS) - Ryan Mathews, RB, Fresno State
29. New York Jets
The Jets trio of running backs is quickly dwindling down to one with Leon Washington looking for a new home and Thomas Jones signed in KC.
Jahvid Best can be a great change of pace back in the NFL, and adding him would help Mark Sanchez' completion percentage more than any WR in the draft.
John Lorge - Jahvid Best, RB, California
Mel Kiper - Taylor Mays, S, USC
Todd McShay - Jared Odrick, DT, Penn State
Daniel Jeremiah - Jerry Hughes, DE/OLB, TCU
Ourlads - Brandon LaFell, WR, LSU
Walter Football - Golden Tate, WR, Notre Dame
Pat Kirwan (NFL) - Jared Odrick, DT, Penn State
Peter Schrage (Fox) - Devin McCourty, CB, Rutgers
Rob Rang (CBS) - Golden Tate, WR, Notre Dame
Chad Reuter (CBS) - Kyle Wilson, CB, Boise State
Pete Prisco (CBS) - Demaryius Thomas, WR, Georgia Tech
Clark Judge (CBS) - Mike Iupati, OG, Idaho
30. Minnesota Vikings
The Vikings have a major need at corner and if Joe Haden's slide keeps Kyle Wilson on the board he would be a great selection and can start as a rookie.
John Lorge - Kyle Wilson, CB, Boise State
Mel Kiper - Devin McCourty, CB, Rutgers
Todd McShay - Brian Price, DT, UCLA
Daniel Jeremiah - Jahvid Best, RB, California
Ourlads - Donovan Warren, CB, Michigan
Walter Football - Brian Price, DT, UCLA
Pat Kirwan (NFL) - Brian Price, DT, UCLA
Peter Schrage (Fox) - Jared Odrick, DT, Penn State
Rob Rang (CBS) - Devin McCourty, CB, Rutgers
Chad Reuter (CBS) - Dominique Franks, CB, Oklahoma
Pete Prisco (CBS) - Devin McCourty, CB, Rutgers
Clark Judge (CBS) - Kyle Wilson, CB, Boise State
31. Indianapolis Colts
The Colts always draft value, and as you can see in these mocks the top players on the board are Maurkice Pouncey and Brian Price. Indy tends to go offensive late in the first and the versatile Pouncey gets my nod.
John Lorge - Maurkice Pouncey, C, Florida
Mel Kiper - Brian Price, DT, UCLA
Todd McShay - Maurkice Pouncey, C, Florida
Daniel Jeremiah - Maurkice Pouncey, C, Florida
Ourlads - Jared Odrick, DT, Penn State
Walter Football - Maurkice Pouncey, C, Florida
Pat Kirwan (NFL) - Maurkice Pouncey, C, Florida
Peter Schrage (Fox) - Sean Weatherspoon, LB, Missouri
Rob Rang (CBS) - Brian Price, DT, UCLA
Chad Reuter (CBS) - Charles Brown, OT, USC
Pete Prisco (CBS) - Brian Price, DT, UCLA
Clark Judge (CBS) - Brian Price, DT, UCLA
32. New Orleans Saints
If Sean Weatherspoon is still on the board he seems like a lock for NO. If he's gone the Saints could draft Daryl Washington but they will most likely to address their D-Line.
Brian Price can stuff the run and he is one of the best DTs at getting after the QB in the draft.
John Lorge - Brian Price, DT, UCLA
Mel Kiper - Sean Weatherspoon, LB, Missouri
Todd McShay - Sean Weatherspoon, LB, Missouri
Daniel Jeremiah - Daryl Washington, LB, TCU
Ourlads - Brian Price, DT, UCLA
Walter Football - Sergio Kindle, DE/OLB, Texas
Pat Kirwan (NFL) - Jerry Hughes, DE/OLB, TCU
Peter Schrage (Fox) - Everson Griffen, DE, USC
Rob Rang (CBS) - Sean Weatherspoon, LB, Missouri
Chad Reuter (CBS) - Brian Price, DT, UCLA
Pete Prisco (CBS) - Carlos Dunlap, DE, Florida
Clark Judge (CBS) - Sean Weatherspoon, LB, Missouri
