2010 NFL Mock Draft: Post-Donovan McNabb Trade, Redskins Take Eric Berry

It is really amazing how one trade can change many picks in a NFL mock draft.

Before the Eagles-Redskins trade involving Donovan McNabb, I had my mock complete and ready to post on Monday morning, but instead I've had to spend just over an hour moving names and changing quite a few teams' picks.

Thanks Redskins and Eagles.

You cannot really blame either team of making that deal happen, and even though I do not try and predict trades in my mock, I will say that with the addition of another second rounder, I see the Eagles trading up in the first round to grab a player they really covet.

Anyway, here is my updated post-McNabb trade mock draft.

With the first pick in the 2010 NFL draft, the St. Louis Rams select...

...Sam Bradford, QB, Oklahoma

Even though the Rams are saying they have a private workout with Texas quarterback Colt McCoy, Bradford is really there guy of the future. Previous: Bradford.

No. 2—Detroit Lions: Russell Okung, OT, Oklahoma State

The Lions need to protect quarterback Matthew Stafford and Okung will do that for at least the next decade. Previous: Okung.

No. 3 — Tampa Bay Buccaneers: Gerald McCoy, DT, Oklahoma

McCoy is who the Bucs have wanted all along and he falls right into their lap. Previous: Suh.

No. 4 — Washington Redskins: Eric Berry, S, Tennessee

Even though the Redskins should be protecting their new investment in Donovan McNabb and pick an offensive lineman, they choose to pick Berry to add a playmaker in the back their secondary. This pick may be a direct influence of owner Dan Synder's liking of highly talented players too. Previous: Clausen.

No. 5 — Kansas City Chiefs: Ndamukong Suh, DT, Nebraska

A tough choice between the rare defensive talents of Suh or Eric Berry or picking a left tackle to protect quarterback Matt Cassell. The Chiefs go with the safest bet on the defensive line with Suh. Previous: Berry.

No. 6 — Seattle Seahawks: Bryan Bulaga, OT, Iowa

Bulaga has shot up the first round the past few weeks and the Seahawks need to find a replacement at left tackle for the retied Walter Jones, and Bulaga is their man. Previous: McCoy.

No. 7 — Cleveland Browns: Earl Thomas, S, Texas

The Browns need a starting free safety and with Berry off the board many will say that this is a reach and the Browns can trade down to still get him, but this is no longer the case. There are more and more experts who are beginning to rate Thomas above Berry (Mike Mayock) and Thomas is becoming a very hot commodity now.

Instead of picking a cocky quarterback (Jimmy Clausen) who most mocks will now predict as the Browns' pick, they fill an empty starter slot on defense, which is a better void to fill anyway. Previous: E. Thomas.

No. 8 — Oakland Raiders: Bruce Campbell, OT, Maryland

He has all the attributes that owner Al Davis loves in a football player. How do you go against those odds? Previous: Campbell.

No. 9 — Buffalo Bills: Jimmy Clausen, QB, Notre Dame

The McNabb trade will make the Bills front office very happy since they are uncertain if Trent Edwards is the answer at quarterback and they pick Clausen regardless. Previous: Bulaga.

No. 10 — Jacksonville Jaguars: Dez Bryant, WR, Oklahoma State

The Jags need to sell tickets and offense sells seats. Bryant has the makings of a No. 1 threat in most NFL offenses and he will be quarterback David Garrard's new and favorite weapon (sorry Maurice Jones-Drew and Mike Sims-Walker). Previous: Bryant.

No. 11 — Denver Broncos: Rolando McClain, ILB, Alabama

McClain will fill recently departed inside linebacker Andra Davis's shoes. Previous: McClain.

No. 12 — Miami Dolphins: Jason Pierre-Paul, DE/LB, South Florida

With both Williams and Bryant off the board the Dolphins consider both C.J. Spiller and Pierre-Paul. In the end they go with Pierre-Paul who Bill Parcells views as the second-coming of DeMarcus Ware.

A tough choice though will Dan Williams still on the draft board and the Dolphins do need a centerpiece on their defensive line, but Parcells sees something special in JPP. Previous: Pierre-Paul.

No. 13 — San Francisco 49ers: Joe Haden, CB, Florida

Haden drops out of the top ten and since Thomas is off the board at safety, the 49ers fill another need in their secondary at cornerback. Previous: T. Williams.

No. 14 — Seattle Seahawks: C.J. Spiller, RB, Clemson

Head coach Pete Carroll needs a weapon on his offense and Spiller is the logical choice since the Seahawks already filled their need at left tackle with their earlier pick. Spiller will also help on special teams which is needed as well. Previous: Spiller.

No. 15 — New York Giants: Sean Weatherspoon, ILB, Missouri

Weatherspoon will make the switch to inside linebacker and fill the shoes vacated by Antonio Pierce on day one. Previous: Weatherspoon.

No. 16 — Tennessee Titans: Derrick Morgan, DE, Georgia Tech

The Titans' defensive line has been torn apart this offseason, and Morgan continues the rebuilding of it. Previous: Morgan.

No. 17 — San Francisco 49ers: Trent Williams, OT, Oklahoma

Williams is brought on to help protect quarterback Alex Smith's blindside. Previous: Haden.

No. 18 — Pittsburgh Steelers: Dan Williams, DL, Tennessee

Once again the Steelers do not bring in a top notch offensive lineman in the first round to protect their quarterback, but instead pick a lineman to bolster their defensive line instead. Previous: Iupati.

No. 19 — Atlanta Falcons: Everson Griffen, DE/LB, USC

The Falcons need to upgrade their pass rush and Griffen will be able to help in that department with his athletic abilities. Previous: Griffen.

No. 20 — Houston Texans: Kyle Wilson, CB, Boise State

Wilson is Dunta Robinson's replacement. Easy enough. Previous: Wilson.

No. 21 — Cincinnati Bengals: Golden Tate, WR, Notre Dame

Even though the Bengals just signed Antonio Bryant to start opposite of Chad Ochocinco at receiver, this paring doesn't seem like it will last. Tate can be a solid compliment to Ochocinco and he gives quarterback Carson Palmer another weapon to get his arm back on track in 2010. Previous: Tate.

No. 22 — New England Patriots: Brandon Graham, DE/LB, Michigan

The Pats need a pass rushing outside linebacker, which Graham fits that mold, but they also need a defensive end and could go with Jared Odrick instead. Graham is a rare talent who can become a terrific pass rusher on Bill Belichick's defense. Previous: Graham.

No. 23 — Green Bay Packers: Mike Iupati, G, Idaho

The Packers cannot believe that Iupati is still on the board when they pick. Iupati helps bring more depth to an offensive line that had it's fair share of injury issues in 2009. Previous: C. Brown.

No. 24 — Philadelphia Eagles: Taylor Mays, S, USC

The Eagles lost Sean Jones and now they just lost cornerback Sheldon Brown. Since they are obviously rebuilding their secondary, there are whispers that safety Macho Harris may become a cornerback and that means there will be a need for a free safety. Enter Mays. Previous: Mays.

No. 25 — Baltimore Ravens: Jermaine Gresham, TE, Oklahoma

General Manager Ozzie Newsome is currently obsessed with getting quarterback Joe Flacco plenty of offensive weapons and it will continue with Gresham since tight end Todd Heap cannot stay healthy for a full season. Previous: Gresham.

No. 26 — Arizona Cardinals: Jerry Hughes, DE/LB, TCU

Hughes has been slowly creeping up into the first round and with the need to add more pass rushing talent on defense and the fact that new outside linebacker Joey Porter cannot stay out of trouble, makes Hughes a good pick for talent and depth. Previous: Dunlap.

No. 27 — Dallas Cowboys: Anthony Davis, OT, Rutgers

The Cowboys need to protect quarterback Tony Romo better and despite Davis's character issues, owner Jerry Jones is confident he can straighten Davis out. Previous: Davis.

No. 28 — San Diego Chargers: Ryan Matthews, RB, Fresno State

The Chargers luck out and get the running back they covet in Matthews who will be a great change of pace pairing with the small and quick Darren Sproles. Previous: Matthews.

No. 29 — New York Jets: Jared Odrick, DL, Penn State

Odrick will fill a need at defensive end for the Jets. Even though they want to add another wide receiver to give quarterback Mark Sanchez another weapon, they hold off until a later round instead. Previous: D. Thomas.

No. 30 — Minnesota Vikings: Devin McCourty, CB, Rutgers

McCourty makes it into the bottom of the first round and he will fit in nicely to the Vikings' Tampa-2 style of defense. Previous: K. Jackson.

No. 31 — Indianapolis Colts: Maurkice Pouncey, G/C, Florida

Quarterback Peyton Manning just fell to the ground to take sacks way too many times in 2009, and his offensive line gets some fresh blood with the addition of Pouncey. Previous: Pouncey.

No. 32 — New Orleans Saints: Sergio Kindle, DE/LB, Texas

With Weatherspoon and Hughes off the board the Saints fill a need at linebacker with Kindle who is a tremendously gifted athlete and the transition to linebacker should not take him long at all. Previous: Hughes.
