2010 NFL Mock Draft - Version 3 (Rounds 1 and 2)

This is by far the worst mock draft of all time. How 'bout of ALL TIME?

FIRST ROUND

Drafter

Pick

Team

Selection

Eric

1

Rams

Sam Bradford - QB (Oklahoma)

Comments:

Charlie:

This is a pass first league, so the Rams will pass on Suh and take the QB.

Eric:

Assuming his shoulder checks out and he throws well at his pro day, Bradford will be the Franchise QB for the Rams.

Charlie

2

Lions

Ndamukong Suh - DT (Nebraska)

Comments:

Charlie:

Lions could not be more thrilled to have Suh land in their laps.

Eric:

Hes too big to fit in their laps, but they are nonetheless happy to have a once in a decade d-lineman.

Eric

3

Buccaneers

Gerald McCoy - DT (Oklahoma)

Comments:

Charlie:

Bucs get the DT that some rate higher than Suh. He doesn’t take plays off, can stop the run and collapse the pocket.

Eric:

Bucs look for Warren Sapp Version 2.0.

Charlie

4

Redskins

Russell Okung - OT (Oklahoma State)

Comments:

Charlie:

With their QB off the board, they nab the best LT prospect in this draft.

Eric:

With Chris Samuels retiring, its time to get the next great LT.

Eric

5

Chiefs

Bryan Bulaga - OT (Iowa)

Comments:

Charlie:

Pioli looks to his friend Kirk Ferentz at Iowa for a tackle to protect his franchise QB, Matt Cassel.

Eric:

He'll have a whale of a time anchoring the left side of KC's line.

Charlie

6

Seahawks

Anthony Davis - OT (Rutgers)

Comments:

Charlie:

Pete Carroll coached against Jimmy Clausen and doesn't love the QB. Instead he opts for Walter Jones' replacement.

Eric:

Keeping with LT, Davis is the next best T. I think the Seahawks look at Clausen here too.

Eric

7

Browns

Eric Berry - DB (Tennessee)

Comments:

Charlie:

Browns get the next Ed Reed. He's a special talent at safety, but is versitile enough to play corner as well.

Eric:

SUPERBOWL!!!!!

Charlie

8

Raiders

Taylor mays - S (USC)

Comments:

Charlie:

Al Davis falls in love with speed and after Mays' combine performance, he's a Raaaiiidaaa!

Eric:

Taylor Mays will bring his track star performance at the combine to the speed loving Raiders.

Eric

9

Bills

Trent Williams - OT (Oklahoma)

Comments:

Charlie:

Chan Gailey considers Clausen but sees enough in young QB Trent Edwards to allow him to develop. They need a LT.

Eric:

Bills need to rebuild. It starts with the Line. Some consider Williams to be the #2 tackle in the draft.

Charlie

10

Jaguars

Jason Pierre-Paul - DE (South Florida)

Comments:

Charlie:

Jags may not make the splash they need to sell tickets but JPP has the most raw potential to be great in this draft.

Eric:

I don't see JPP here. The jags need a defensive playmaker, I think they would look at Derrick Morgan instead.

Eric

11

Broncos

Rolando McClain - LB (Alabama)

Comments:

Charlie:

Josh McDaniels continues the conversion to the 3-4 with arguably the most prepared LB for the system in this class.

Eric:

Although the Denver D started strong last year, it was clear they need some playmakers at LB. Check!

Charlie

12

Dolphins

Dez Bryant - WR (Oklahoma State)

Comments:

Charlie:

Jeff Ireland gives Chad Henne a true #1 receiver. Bryant is big, explosive and has good hands.

Eric:

Phins need some playmakers outside of the wildcat. Taking the best WR helps and Sporano will keep him in check.

Eric

13

49ers

Joe Haden - CB (Florida)

Comments:

Charlie:

Being a defensive guy, Singletary is happy to see Haden fall out of the top 10 to him here.

Eric:

Niners get the best CB in the draft. Although I expect after the pro day at UF Haden puts himself into the top 10.

Charlie

14

Seahawks

C.J. Spiller - RB (Clemson)

Comments:

Charlie:

Pete Carroll gives Matt Hasselbeck a weapon to work with behind what should be an improved offensive line.

Eric:

Spiller is dynamic, but I do not see the Seahawks passing on Clausen if he is still available.

Eric

15

Giants

Derrick Morgan - DE (Georgia Tech)

Comments:

Charlie:

Perhaps looking to move Osi, the Giants invest more into their defensive line.

Eric:

Giants need to get back to their bread and butter (a GREAT d-line). They stunk last year.

Charlie

16

Titans

Dan Williams - DT (Tennessee)

Comments:

Charlie:

Williams is a great value here and fills a need on the interior of the defensive line.

Eric:

Titans look to finally fill the big (literally) void left by Fat Albert a year ago.

Eric

17

49ers

Earl Thomas - S (Texas)

Comments:

Charlie:

49ers could look at WR or DE here but Singletary sees a unique opportunity to vastly improve his secondary in 2010.

Eric:

Earl Thomas is an instinctive athletic safety that will really solidify the Niners defense.

Charlie

18

Steelers

Jared Odrick - DE (Penn State)

Comments:

Charlie:

They consider CB or OL here but continue youth movement on defensive line, especially with Smith coming off injury.

Eric:

With the top offensive linemen off the board, the Steelers think about the other side.

Eric

19

Falcons

Sergio Kindle - DE/OLB (Texas)

Comments:

Charlie:

Eric really likes his Kindle. In this slot, I think the Falcons would get better value buying one on Amazon.com.

Eric:

I'm detective John Kindle! Playmaking LB will really help the Falcons D.

Charlie

20

Texans

Carlos Dunlap - DE (Florida)

Comments:

Charlie:

Texans look to pressure the QB in 2010 and add a bookend pass rusher to complement Mario Williams.

Eric:

Character issues drop Dunlap out of the top 15. Texans take a chance on the talent and grab him to bring the pass rush.

Eric

21

Bengals

Jermaine Gresham - TE (Oklahoma)

Comments:

Charlie:

Despite his severe knee injury, Gresham is still the #1 tight end in this draft and fills a huge need for the Bungles.

Eric:

Bengals thought about Golden Tate, but really need some size. At 6'6" Gresham fits the mold.

Charlie

22

Patriots

Brandon Graham - OLB (Michigan)

Comments:

Charlie:

Pats need to improve their ability to pressure the QB. Graham looks to be the best DE/OLB prospect in this draft IMO.

Eric:

No Brainer. Smart + tough + productive + beast = Going to NE.

Eric

23

Packers

Mike Iupati - G (Idaho)

Comments:

Charlie:

Not sure Pack go with a guard here when their real need is at tackle.

Eric:

With no elite tackles left, Packers grab the best guard/tackle and not ze otha way around.

Charlie

24

Eagles

Everson Griffen - DE (USC)

Comments:

Charlie:

Eagles go with a stout DE to get after the QB but I have a feeling the Eagles address this need in free agency.

Eric:

Not sure the Eagles pass on Weatherspoon here, but a solid DE will help opposite Trent Cole.

Eric

25

Ravens

Patrick Robinson - CB (FSU)

Comments:

Charlie:

Eric thinks the Ravens will reach past Wilson and McCourty and go with the more athletic available CB in Robinson.

Eric:

Assuming he kills someone in the next 2 months, he'll be a Raven.

Charlie

26

Cardinals

Ricky Sapp - OLB (Clemson)

Comments:

Charlie:

Not my favorite pick but Sapp has a chance to be a dynamic 3-4 OLB. I would reconsider Spoon or Spikes here.

Eric:

The Cards are still blackout drunk celebrating the career of Kurt Warner. Luckily they didn’t fall over getting this pick in.

Eric

27

Cowboys

Bruce Campbell - OT (Maryland)

Comments:

Charlie:

Cowboys take the best looking tackle at the Souting Combine. I've read his physical prowess doesn't translate on tape.

Eric:

In need of OL help, the Boys take the beastly Campbell.

Charlie

28

Chargers

Ryan Mathews - RB (Fresno State)

Comments:

Charlie:

Chargers take Mathews after he solidified his status as the #2 running back at the Scouting Combine.

Eric:

Mathews fills a huge need at RB, and after his strong combine, he passes Dwyer.

Eric

29

Jets

Kyle Wilson - CB (Boise State)

Comments:

Charlie:

Rex Ryan inhales a brat, makes this pick and then shotguns a beer. He is very excited to get his #2 corner.

Eric:

Wilson Peninsula will be a good addition across from Revis Island.

Charlie

30

Vikings

Devin McCourty - CB (Rutgers)

Comments:

Charlie:

With questions in the secondary, McCourty is their selection.

Eric:

Vikes need to avoid getting torched in the passing game to make it to the big show.

Eric

31

Colts

Sean Weatherspoon - OLB (Missouri)

Comments:

Charlie:

Great fit and great vocal leader. Colts will get immediate production from this linebacker.

Eric:

Colts, just said FU to the rest of the NFL. Spoon should have been gone LONG before this pick.

Charlie

32

Saints

Navorro Bowman - OLB (Penn State)

Comments:

Charlie:

Saints improve their ability to swarm to the football by grabbing the athletic and smooth Bowman to finish Round 1.

Eric:

Bowman's workouts will be huge in establishing him as a first rounder. I think he may fall a little more.

  1. I highly disagree with your second round choice for the Browns. We have MANY ILB. To take one so high would be a mistake unless he is BREATHETAKING, which Spikes is not. If I remember correctly, he was suspended for a game (well, half because Urban Meier is a piece of shit and didn't properly punish him) for purposely gouging someones eyes during a game. NOT the kind of player I want on this team, nor the type of player I think Mangini is looking for.

    Mangini looks for smart, locker-room guys who just love to play football. I would say our biggest position need (after safety in the first with Berry) is CB. If not, I think we take a big play threat WR or a QB to develop (though I would like to see them wait until the 3rd for QB since we have 3 third round selections).

    I think you will see us address the safety position twice in the draft and CB at least once. My prediction on the order we draft:

    S, CB, DT, RT, QB, OLB, S, WR, TE, DE, RB, OG

    I put DT in the 3rd round because it is a deep DT class and we'll get someone to replace Shawn Rogers, who I believe will be traded soon for a draft pick or two.
