The NFL Scouting Combine has come and gone.

And now that all the measurements and performances have been logged in, it is time once again to post the updated mock draft. 

Let the comments with agreements and disagreements begin.

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

No. 1 St. Louis Rams – Sam Bradford, QB, Oklahoma

Even though Bradford did not throw in Indy, the 10 pounds of extra muscle he packed onto his frame, gave him the appearance of being a true franchise quarterback. It had scouts and coaches talking; the Rams cannot pass up on the chance to draft their future quarterback.

Previous mock pick: Bradford

No. 2 Detroit Lions – Ndamukong Suh, DT, Nebraska

Suh falls to the Lions and all of Detroit screams so loud it shakes the ground.

Previous mock pick: Suh

No. 3 Tampa Bay Buccaneers – Gerald McCoy, DT, Oklahoma

Most say the Bucs will pick Eric Berry, but having an impact interior lineman will plug up the running lanes and help free others to get to opposing quarterbacks.

Previous mock pick: McCoy

No. 4 Washington Redskins – Russell Okung, OT, Oklahoma State

Jason Campbell may or may not be the answer at quarterback, but bringing in Okung helps solidify the offensive line which will help Campbell get more time in the pocket.

Previous mock pick: Okung

No. 5 Kansas City Chiefs – Trent Williams, OT, Oklahoma

Williams showcased his speed and athletic ability at the combine and the Chiefs need to help protect Matt Cassel over anything else, especially picking this high in the first round.

Previous mock pick: Anthony Davis

No. 6 Seattle Seahawks – C.J. Spiller, RB, Clemson

Berry may be very tempting, but with Spiller showing off his blazing speed at the combine, he is a rare talent that will be very hard to pass on. There are too many teams that may be interested in him between pick six and the Seahawks' next pick at No. 14.

Previous mock pick: Trent Williams

No. 7 Cleveland Browns – Eric Berry, S, Tennessee

Berry will most likely still be picked before the Browns choose in many mocks in the Internet, but honestly, there are other priorities for the teams listed above. He will bring the impact defender the Browns have lacked in the secondary since the days of Eric Turner.

Previous mock pick: Berry

No. 8 Oakland Raiders – Bruce Campbell, OT, Maryland

Campbell showed scouts and coaches that he is a very rare physical specimen for an athlete his size and everyone knows owner Al Davis loves this type of player.

Previous mock pick: Brandon Graham

No. 9 Buffalo Bills – Jimmy Clausen, QB, Notre Dame

The Bills need a quarterback and it remains to be seen if Trent Edwards is the answer; however, Clausen has that confidence and almost cocky attitude that is needed on a Bills team that has struggled more than succeeded over the last decade.

Previous mock pick: Clausen

No. 10 Denver (from Chicago) –Rolando McClain, LB, Alabama

Even though Brandon Marshall will likely get traded, many think that Dez Bryant would be the most sensible pick here. However, with many talented receivers in later rounds, the Broncos will focus on improving their defense starting in the middle where McClain can learn from starter Andra Davis.

Previous mock pick: Dez Bryant

No. 11 Jacksonville Jaguars –Joe Haden, CB, Florida

The Jaguars need help on each level of their defense and even though Haden ran a slower than expected 40-yard dash time, he is still an upgrade in the secondary.

Previous mock pick: Derrick Morgan

No. 12 Miami Dolphins – Dez Bryant, WR, Oklahoma State

Bryant gives the Dolphins the true No. 1 receiver they thought Ted Ginn Jr. would develop into. He will also be a key element in the development of quarterback Chad Henne.

Previous mock pick: Jason Pierre-Paul

No. 13 San Francisco 49ers – Anthony Davis, OT, Rutgers

Since the 49ers cannot get Spiller, they choose to help protect quarterback Alex Smith to help in his amazing comeback.

Previous mock pick: Joe Haden

No. 14 Seattle Seahawks (from Denver) – Taylor Mays, S, USC

New coach Pete Carroll picks his safety from last year at USC to help the other defenders better understand his defensive game plans.

Previous mock pick: Mays

No. 15 New York Giants – Derrick Morgan, DE/LB, Georgia Tech

The Giants need help at linebacker since releasing Antonio Pierce. Even though Morgan will have to transition from defensive end in college to linebacker, he will bring needed talent to the position.

Previous mock pick: Rolando McClain

No. 16 Tennessee Titans – Jason Pierre-Paul, DE, South Florida

Pierre-Paul brings much-needed pass rushing skills to the Titans since it looks like they will be losing Jevon Kearse once again.

Previous mock pick: Carlos Dunlap

No. 17 San Francisco 49ers (from Carolina) – Earl Thomas, S, Texas

After picking on the offensive side of the ball with their earlier pick, Mike Singletary uses his defensive expertise to influence a pick on the other side of the ball with Thomas. He  will bring playmaking abilities to their secondary.

Previous mock pick: Thomas

No. 18 Pittsburgh Steelers – Bryan Bulaga, OT, Iowa

Ben Roethlisberger needs to stay off his back and the Steelers finally make a pick to help protect their quarterback.

Previous mock pick: Bulaga

No. 19 Atlanta Falcons – Kyle Wilson, CB, Boise State

Wilson will be a starter on day one of the 2010 regular season and the Falcons need help at the cornerback position which Wilson will help tremendously.

Previous mock pick: Wilson

No. 20 Houston Texans – Jahvid Best, RB, California

The Texans need to get help at the running back spot since Steve Slaton hit his sophomore slump really hard in 2009. Best will step right in and help the Texans' running game and overall team to improve.

Previous mock pick: Dan Williams

No. 21 Cincinnati Bengals – Golden Tate, WR, Notre Dame

Quarterback Carson Palmer needs more receivers to throw to other than Chad Ochocinco and Tate is the perfect complement to help the Bengals' passing game get back on track.

Previous mock pick: Jermaine Gresham

No. 22 New England Patriots – Brandon Graham, LB, Michigan

With questions surrounding Adalius Thomas, Graham serves as the perfect replacement in the Patriots' defense front seven.

Previous mock pick: C.J. Spiller

No. 23 Green Bay Packers – Mike Iupati OG, Idaho

Quarterback Aaron Rodgers needs better protection and Iupati will bring a mean and aggressive style of blocking to the offensive line.

Previous mock pick: Bruce Campbell

No. 24 Philadelphia Eagles – Everson Griffen, DE/LB, USC

The Eagles need linebacker help and even though Griffen would have to switch from playing defensive end in college to a linebacker in the NFL, he will be a welcome addition to the defense in 2010.

Previous mock pick: Sergio Kindle

No. 25 Baltimore Ravens – Mardy Gilyard, WR, Cincinnati

A huge need for the Ravens in this offseason is getting quarterback Joe Flacco a weapon at wide receiver. Gilyard has the speed, quickness, size, and hands to develop into a solid weapon for Flacco.

Previous mock pick: Golden Tate

No. 26 Arizona Cardinals – Jermaine Gresham, TE, Oklahoma

Gresham was impressive at the combine since it has been a full year recovering from a knee injury. Even though Kurt Warner is now gone, giving Matt Leinart a weapon at tight end will help him transition into an NFL starter easier.

Previous mock pick: Brian Price

No. 27 Dallas Cowboys – Charles Brown, OT, USC

Quarterback Tony Romo needs more protection and Brown will provide that. He will also help open up big holes for all of the Cowboys' running backs.

Previous mock pick: Nate Allen

No. 28 San Diego Chargers – Ryan Mathews, RB, Fresno State

LaDainian Tomlinson is gone and Darren Sproles soon to follow via free agency, so the Chargers need a running back. Mathews looked solid at the combine and he will be a good starter in the NFL.

Previous mock pick: Jonathan Dwyer

No. 29 New York Jets – Dan Williams, DT, Tennessee

The Jets really wanted to get a wide receiver in the first, but with both Tate and Gilyard off the board, they will add some beef in the middle of the defense with Williams. They'll grab a receiver later.

Previous mock pick: Mardy Gilyard

No. 30 Minnesota Vikings – Brandon Ghee, CB, Wake Forest

Ghee ran an impressive 4.45 seconds in the 40-yard dash which will vault him up many draft boards including the Vikings', who need help in their secondary.

Previous mock pick: Perrish Cox

No. 31 Indianapolis Colts – Brian Price, DT, UCLA

The Colts bring in some beef into the middle of their defensive line in order to help get both of their talented defensive ends free to rush the quarterback.

Previous mock pick: Mike Iupati

No. 32 New Orleans Saints – Sergio Kindle, LB, Texas

Kindle's versatility and ability to line up at linebacker and either rush the quarterback, stop the run, or fall back into coverage, is exactly the type of player the Saints need to add to their defense.

Previous mock pick: Ricky Sapp
