2011 NFL Mock Draft: Final Order Set, but Is Blaine Gabbert Going No. 1?

Blaine Gabbert, quarterback out of Missouri, declared for the 2011 NFL Draft on Monday.  

Teams that have openly talked about Gabbert have said he is currently their second-rated quarterback behind Andrew Luck.  Adding Gabbert to the first round will bump down a lot of players, mainly quarterbacks.

That may be bad from a draft prospect's point of view, but for your team, it's great news.  Will a great player fall to your team because of the Gabbert effect?

Find out in this 2011 NFL first round Mock Draft:

1. Carolina Panthers: Andrew Luck (QB, Stanford)

Analysis:

The Panthers' dream situation here would be to have Jim Harbaugh pulling the trigger for this selection.  Luck lived up to the hype in the Orange Bowl on Monday night, throwing for 287 yards and four touchdowns.

Comparison: Aaron Rodgers

2. Denver Broncos: Patrick Peterson (CB, LSU)

BATON ROUGE, LA - SEPTEMBER 25: Patrick Peterson #7 of the Louisiana State Univeristy Tigers celebrates after scoring a touchdown by posing as the Heisman Trophy against the West Virginia Mountaineers at Tiger Stadium on September 25, 2010 in Baton Rouge

Analysis:

Peterson is arguably the best cornerback prospect to come around in the past decade.  He is a shutdown cornerback and a return ace that has don't-kick-him-the-ball type ability.

Comparison: Champ Bailey

3. Buffalo Bills: Nick Fairley (DE, Auburn)

Analysis:

Fairley has been the most dominant defensive player in college football this season.  He would bring a much-needed swagger to a Bills team that is used to losing.

Comparison: Albert Haynesworth

4. Cincinnati Bengals: Da'Quan Bowers (DE, Clemson)

Analysis:

Coming out of high school, he was called the best defensive end since Reggie White and Bruce Smith.  Bowers will help the Bengals fulfill their defensive potential.

Comparison: Michael Strahan

5. Arizona Cardinals: Prince Amukamara (CB, Nebraska)

Analysis:

Amukamara is a can't-miss prospect at the cornerback position.  Without a coaching change, the Cardinals will attack the quarterback position outside of the draft.

Comparison: Charles Woodson

6. Cleveland Browns: A.J. Green (WR, Georgia)

Analysis: 

The Browns' dream has come true: They're in position to draft A.J. Green.  Green has been called the best wide receiver to enter the draft since Randy Moss, besides Calvin Johnson.

Comparison: Larry Fitzgerald

7. San Francisco 49ers: Blaine Gabbert (QB, Missouri)

Analysis:

Gabbert is a 6'5", 235-pound pocket passer with loads of potential.  Out with Alex Smith, and in with Gabbert for the 49ers.

Comparison: Philip Rivers

8. Tennessee Titans: Marcell Dareus (DT, Alabama)

PASADENA, CA - JANUARY 07: Quarterback Garrett Gilbert #3 of the Texas Longhorns tries to tackle lineman Marcell Dareus #57 of the Alabama Crimson Tide who would score after intercepting the ball during the second quarter of the Citi BCS National Champio

Analysis:

The Titans got lucky losing in the final week and are now in position to select Dareus.  He'll finally fill the void that was left by Albert Haynesworth.

Comparison: Ty Warren

9. Dallas Cowboys: Robert Quinn (DE, UNC)

CHAPEL HILL, NC - SEPTEMBER 19: Robert Quinn #42 of the North Carolina Tar Heels celebrates after a sack with teammate Marvin Austin #9 against the East Carolina Pirates at Kenan Stadium on September 19, 2009 in Chapel Hill, North Carolina. (Photo by St

Analysis:

Quinn could arguably be the top prospect had he not been suspended this season.  The Cowboys don't fill a huge need, but the best-player-available approach here gives the Cowboys an unblockable pass rushing duo in DeMarcus Ware and Quinn.

Comparison: Mario Williams

10. Washington Redskins: Ryan Mallett (QB, Arkansas)

Analysis:

The Redskins plan on taking a quarterback in the second, but Mallett is too good to pass up at this point.  Mike Shanahan obviously doesn't think Donovan McNabb is the answer, but neither is Rex Grossman.

Comparison: Joe Flacco

11. Houston Texans: Stephen Paea (DT, Oregon St.)

TUCSON, AZ - OCTOBER 09: Defensive tackle Stephen Paea #54 of the Oregon State Beavers during the college football game against the Arizona Wildcats at Arizona Stadium on October 9, 2010 in Tucson, Arizona. The Beavers defeated the Wildcats 29-27. (Pho

Analysis:

Paea is one of the strongest players, if not the very strongest player in all of college football.  He would form a nice duo for the Texans with the athletic Amobi Okoye and fill a huge need.

Comparison: Tyson Aluala

12. Minnesota Vikings: Cam Newton (QB, Auburn)

ATLANTA - DECEMBER 4: Quarterback Cam Newton #2 of the Auburn Tigers throws a first quarter touchdown pas during the 2010 SEC Championship against the South Carolina Gamecocks at Georgia Dome on December 4, 2010 in Atlanta, Georgia. (Photo by Mike Zarril

Analysis:

The Vikings have to take a quarterback here—sorry, Joe Webb.  Cam Newton may have a similar skill set as the quarterbacks they already have, but he's the far superior quarterback.

Comparison: Vince Young

13. Detroit Lions: Ryan Kerrigan (DE, Purdue)

COLUMBUS, OH - OCTOBER 23: Ryan Kerrigan #94 of the Purdue Boilermakers attempts to tackle Brandon Saine #3 of the Ohio State Buckeyes at Ohio Stadium on October 23, 2010 in Columbus, Ohio. (Photo by Jamie Sabau/Getty Images)

Analysis:

The Lions select the best available player as usual, and with this pick will cement their defensive line for years to come.  Kerrigan could serve as a situational pass rusher until Kyle Vanden Bosch needs to be replaced.

Comparison: Brandon Graham

14. St. Louis Rams: Julio Jones (WR, Alabama)

Dave Martin/Getty Images

OXFORD, MS - OCTOBER 10: Julio Jones #8 of the Alabama Crimson Tide has his reception broken up by Kendrick Lewis #1 and Cassius Vaughn #24 of the Mississippi Rebels during their college football game at Vaught-Hemingway Stadium on October 10, 2009 in Ox

Analysis:

The Rams lost to the Seahawks because Sam Bradford had no one to throw to.  Jones is one of the nation's most dangerous weapons that is equally effective as a deep threat and after the catch.  

Comparison: Terrell Owens

15. Miami Dolphins: Mark Ingram (HB, Alabama)

Stephen Dunn/Getty Images

PASADENA, CA - JANUARY 07: Running back Mark Ingram #22 of the Alabama Crimson Tide celebrates after an extra point during the Citi BCS National Championship game against the Texas Longhorns at the Rose Bowl on January 7, 2010 in Pasadena, California. Th

Analysis:

Ronnie Brown and Ricky Williams will both become free agents this offseason.  Ingram is an improvement over both of them as he's the best running back in the draft, bar none.

Comparison: Maurice Jones-Drew

16. Jacksonville Jaguars: Adrian Clayborn (DE, Iowa)

MIAMI GARDENS, FL - JANUARY 05: Adrian Clayborn #94 of the Iowa Hawkeyes reacts against the Georgia Tech Yellow Jackets during the FedEx Orange Bowl at Land Shark Stadium on January 5, 2010 in Miami Gardens, Florida. Iowa won 24-14. (Photo by Doug Benc/G

Analysis: 

He was once considered a top-10 pick, but has fallen because of character concerns and inconsistent play.  The Jaguars need help at defensive end badly.

Comparison: Justin Smith

17. New England Patriots: Cameron Jordan (DE, California)

Christian Petersen/Getty Images

TUCSON, AZ - SEPTEMBER 25: Defensive tackle Cameron Jordan #97 of the California Golden Bears during the college football game against the Arizona Wildcats at Arizona Stadium on September 25, 2010 in Tucson, Arizona. The Wildcats defeated the Golden Bear

Analysis:

Jordan's stock has sky-rocketed this season.  He fills the hole left by the Richard Seymour trade with the pick from the Richard Seymour trade.

Comparison: Will Smith

18. San Diego Chargers: Von Miller (OLB, Texas A&M)

Analysis:

Von Miller is the best speed rusher in the draft.  The Chargers need a pass rusher after the departure of Shawne Merriman and the bust of Larry English.

Comparison: Elvis Dumervil

19. New York Giants: Travis Lewis (OLB, Oklahoma)

Analysis:

Lewis is an elite linebacker prospect that will fall because 4-3 outside linebackers just aren't a coveted position.  The Giants need to replace an old and ineffective Keith Bulluck.

Comparison: Lance Briggs

20. Tampa Bay Buccaneers: Akeem Ayers (DE, UCLA)

Stephen Dunn/Getty Images

PASADENA, CA - SEPTEMBER 18: Linebacker Akeem Ayers #10 of the UCLA Bruins in the game with the Houston Cougars at the Rose Bowl on September 18, 2010 in Pasadena, California. UCLA won 31-13. (Photo by Stephen Dunn/Getty Images)

Analysis:

The most versatile player in the draft can practically fill a need for any team.  The Buccaneers need a major upgrade at defensive end; Ayers can play defensive end.

Comparison: Adalius Thomas

21. Seattle Seahawks: Jake Locker (QB, Washington)

Otto Greule Jr/Getty Images

SEATTLE - DECEMBER 05: Jake Locker #10 of the Washington Huskies runs the ball during game against the California Bears on December 5, 2009 at Husky Stadium in Seattle, Washington. The Huskies defeated the Bears 42-10. (Photo by Otto Greule Jr/Getty Imag

Analysis:

Locker is the biggest victim of Blaine Gabbert entering the draft.  He falls to his hometown team in a perfect situation where he'll get to sit the bench for a year and learn the system.

Comparison: Jay Cutler

22. Kansas City Chiefs: Justin Blackmon (WR, Oklahoma St.)

Analysis:

Blackmon pretty much led the nation in every receiving category there is this year.  A duo of Dwayne Bowe and Blackmon would be one of the league's best soon enough.

Comparison: Greg Jennings

23. Indianapolis Colts: Nate Solder (OT, Colorado)

Analysis:

The athletic Nate Solder is the No. 1 tackle on most analysts' boards.  The Colts need to upgrade their offensive line to protect a struggling Peyton Manning.

Comparison: Trent Williams

24. Philadelphia Eagles: Janoris Jenkins (CB, Florida)

GAINESVILLE, FL - SEPTEMBER 04: Janoris Jenkins #1 of the Florida Gators celebrates after a defensive stand against the Miami University RedHawks at Ben Hill Griffin Stadium on September 4, 2010 in Gainesville, Florida. (Photo by Sam Greenwood/Getty Ima

Analysis:

Dimitri Patterson shouldn't be starting in the NFL.  The Eagles need to find a cornerback to improve a secondary that was taken advantage of by Minnesota rookie Joe Webb.

Comparison: Asante Samuel

25. Green Bay Packers: Aaron Williams (CB, Texas)

Brian Bahr/Getty Images

AUSTIN, TX - SEPTEMBER 27: Defensive back Aaron Williams #4 of the Texas Longhorns runs for a touchdown after grabbing an interception against the Arkansas Razorbacks in the fourth quarter on September 27, 2008 at Darrell K Royal-Texas Memorial Stadium i

Analysis:

Charles Woodson's time is almost up.  Aaron Williams is the big type of corner the Packers like.

Comparison: Quentin Jammer

26. New Orleans Saints: Drake Nevis (DT, LSU)

ATHENS, GA - OCTOBER 03: Drake Nevis #92 of the Louisiana State University Tigers tackles Washaun Ealey #24 of the Georgia Bulldogs at Sanford Stadium on October 3, 2009 in Athens, Georgia. (Photo by Kevin C. Cox/Getty Images)

Analysis: 

Nevis has played lights-out this season.  He would drastically improve a mediocre Saints pass rush.

Comparison: Sedrick Ellis

27. New York Jets: J.J. Watt (DE, Wisconsin)

Jonathan Daniel/Getty Images

MADISON, WI - SEPTEMBER 18: J.J. Watt #99 of the Wisconsin Badgers rushes against the Arizona State Sun Devils at Camp Randall Stadium on September 18, 2010 in Madison, Wisconsin. Wisconsin defeated Arizona State 20-19. Wisconsin defeated Arizona State 20

Analysis:

The Jets need an upgrade at defensive end.  J.J. Watt has the perfect frame for a 3-4 end at 6'6", 290 pounds.

Comparison: Patrick Kerney

28. Baltimore Ravens: Allen Bailey (DE, Miami)

Jamie Sabau/Getty Images

COLUMBUS, OH - SEPTEMBER 11: Quarterback Terrelle Pryor #2 of the Ohio State Buckeyes gets off a pass as Allen Bailey #57 of the Miami Hurricanes applies pressure at Ohio Stadium on September 11, 2010 in Columbus, Ohio. (Photo by Jamie Sabau/Getty Image

Analysis:

Bailey is the biggest physical freak in the entire draft.  He would add even more explosiveness to an elite Ravens defense needing a defensive end.

Comparison: Kevin Williams

29. Chicago Bears: Derrick Sherrod (OT, Mississippi St.)

Kevin C. Cox/Getty Images

TUSCALOOSA, AL - NOVEMBER 15: J.C. Brignone #70 and Derek Sherrod #79of the Mississippi State Bulldogs get ready on the line of scrimmage during the game against the Alabama Crimson Tide at Bryant-Denny Stadium on November 15, 2008 in Tuscaloosa, Alabama

Analysis:

The Bears surrendered more sacks this season than any other team.  Sherrod is arguably the most pro-ready tackle and would be an instant upgrade.

Comparison: D'Brickashaw Ferguson

30. Pittsburgh Steelers: Mike Pouncey (G, Florida)

Analysis:

Pouncey is the best interior offensive line prospect in the draft this year.  He would easily start right away for the Steelers at right guard next to his brother, Maurkice.

Comparison: Davin Jospeh

31. Atlanta Falcons: Jonathan Baldwin (WR, Pittsburgh)

Analysis:

Jonathan Baldwin is yet another extremely talented wideout in this draft class.  The Falcons need someone dangerous across from Roddy White so defenses can't double-team him.

Comparison: Vincent Jackson

32. New England Patriots: Justin Houston (OLB, Georgia)

Analysis:

The Patriots could easily get three starters out of this draft if they go DE-OLB-CB with their first three picks.  Houston has 10 sacks this year and is one of the top 3-4 outside linebacker prospects.

Comparison: Lamar Woodley
