2011 NFL Mock Draft: Comparing Expert Mocks From Around the Web, Consensus Picks

The 2011 NFL Draft has shown us that mock drafts are no longer just for the experts.  Websites allowing fans to post their mock drafts virtually litter the web.

Sometimes, though, it is nice to be able to filter the expert opinions from the masses.  The following pages will do just that, offering the latest mock draft picks for several experts.

Each team will also have a consensus pick, offering an amalgamation of all seven mock drafts.

The mock drafts that are being used are:

Russ Lande, Sporting News…although I almost removed him from my list when I saw a few of his picks, particularly at No. 25.

1. Carolina Panthers: Cam Newton, QB, Auburn 6'5" 248 Lbs

Some analysts are projecting Carolina will trade out of this pick.  I agree, as I don't see Newton being a prime candidate for the Panthers.  

Look for Carolina to roll with Jimmy Clausen one more season, and if he can't carry the load, the Panthers will likely be in draft position to get a better QB in 2012.

Either way, the Broncos will be able to grab an outstanding prospect at DT to help with their conversion to a 4-3 defense.

Buffalo received fairly good play from Ryan Fitzpatrick last season.  While some have Gabbert as the pick here, he would be a step back at the position.  Look for the Bills to draft someone who will contribute now.

Rob Rang:  Von Miller, DE/OLB, Texas A&M

Chad Reuter: Blaine Gabbert, QB, Missouri 

Todd McShay:  Von Miller, DE/OLB, Texas A&M

4. Cincinnati Bengals: A.J. Green, WR, Georgia 6'4" 211 Lbs

There is little doubt the Bengals need to add a WR.  Where there is doubt is if they'll have a QB to get him the ball.  With Palmer threatening to retire, they need to add a QB in this draft.

They may need to trade up with Carolina to do it, but expect Cincinnati to make a move for Newton.

Rob Rang:  A.J. Green, WR, Georgia

5. Arizona Cardinals: Blaine Gabbert, QB, Missouri 6'4" 234 Lbs

I still don't understand this pick.  There...I said it.  I must be missing something, but I see an average NFL QB who threw a lot of short passes in a spread offense.  The Cardinals already cut one high draft pick because he checked down too much; I don't see the Cardinals setting themselves up to do it again.

Gabbert's TD production was at the bottom of the top 10 QBs in this draft, and most of his statistics were on the wrong end of the production scale.

Yes, he had a high completion percentage, but give most any good college QB the time he had and have him focus on short passes, and the results wouldn't be much different.

Many analysts believe Jones will be a better receiver than Green.  My concern with this is Jones drops too many passes.  He'll need to work on his concentration at the next level and get accustomed to the smaller space in which to catch the ball.

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

It is hard to imagine Patrick Peterson falling this far. This would fill a huge hole for the 49ers and save them from reaching an agreement on a QB who just doesn't seem to be a top 10 talent. With their bevy of draft picks in this draft, look for them to jump back into the late part of the first round to look at a QB if they land Peterson here.

Rob Rang: Prince Amukamara, CB, Nebraska

Fairly could still end up being a top-five selection on Thursday, and the Titans will still likely look at a QB here.  Gabbert could still be on the board and Locker would fit with their offense.  The Titans could also be in position to trade up with the Panthers if they like Newton.  The Titans only have one major hole and that is at QB.

Now looked as the "no brainer" pick of the draft, this wasn't the case a month ago.

Back in February, one of the analysts below said Smith was the best OL in this draft and would be drafted by the Cowboys.  You can click on the link below to go back to his initial mock draft.

He also said that Nate Solder wasn't a good enough blocker yet and shouldn't be drafted in the first round.

A lot of readers had fun with both of those. We'll see how it goes.

This was a tough one to place.  Technically, J.J. Watt could have gone here, but most of our experts have Quinn ahead of him.  Quinn really belongs one spot lower, but then we lose a spot for Amukamara.  Most of the analysts feel Julio Jones will be taken here, but we already placed him.

Watt will have to be a casualty here and go to New England where he has more traction from the anlaysts.

Not a bad consolation prize for the second-best CB in the draft...but I have a feeling they'd rather have Quinn.  The good news is most of the analysts think they'll get him.

I expect this selection to see a lot of movement this week and a few more analysts to throw Locker's name in here.  Evidently, Lande didn't get the memo on Tyron Smith.

The Lions really need an OT if they want Matt Stafford to ever shed the "glass" moniker. Castonzo carries the BC pedigree, but Carimi might be the better blocker.

Russ Lande: Da'Quan Bowers, DE, Clemson 

14. St. Louis Rams: Corey Liuget, DT, Illinois 6'2" 298 Lbs

This isn't the Ram's biggest area of need, but it is the best value at this point.  They may look to trade down and look at OLB later in Round 1, and WR in Round 2.

OG is a position of need for Miami, but the Dolphins' needs at this position and at RB aren't well served by the 15th pick.  They also need a QB.  If the guy they like is available, here it makes sense.  If not, move down and grab a RB or OG later in the draft.

Kerrigan, Aldon Smith, Jordan and Watt are all very talented defensive ends.  They are taking a little different ranking on each board, but will all be taken around the middle of the first round.

At some point, a team is going to gamble on Bowers' knee being healthy enough for him to stay productive.  With Tampa Bay's need at the position, this just seems like the right spot.

The Chiefs really need to be looking OL here, but there isn't a good value pick for them.  They also need to think about adding another receiving option.

Solder will need some work to be able to start in the NFL.  With the Colts' need at the position, look for them to go a different direction here.

This could easily be an OT or CB for the Eagles.  They are a prime partner for a team looking to trade down. The Eagles may decide to move up if Amukamara lasts as long as some boards show.

This pick is the furthest from consensus in the entire draft.  There are two votes for Jimmy Smith, but he's already off the board.  The rest of the players mocked to Seattle had one vote each.  

I went with Locker for two reasons.  First, it is the most likely selection based on who is left on the board. Second, and more importantly, he has more picks earlier in the draft than any other selection.

WR and CB both make sense for the Ravens here.  They might even try to trade up to get Jimmy Smith if they feel he is the best match for their defense.

The Falcons need a DE and will likely take the best one on the board.  They also need help at TE, as Tony Gonzalez has seen his production slip and is in the last year of his contract.

The Bears need help on their offensive line.  The unit played better down the stretch last year, but some additional talent would certainly help.

Five different players were mocked to the Jets.  All five are on the defensive front.  Taylor's status largely depends on what the Jets' team physicians think of his foot condition.

Pittsburgh needs help in the secondary and the interior of their offensive line.  The closest thing to a first-round FS is Williams, even though he played CB in college.  The Steelers may be better off going OG here and looking at DB options in Round 2.  

Look for the Steelers to look to move up in round one.

The Packers might surprise some people and look at WR here if Torrey Smith is still on the board.  They could use some youth here, and they need OLB help.
