FIRST ROUND | |||
Drafter | Pick | Team | Selection |
Charlie | 1 | Rams | Sam Bradford - QB (Oklahoma) |
Comments: | Charlie: | Rams have gone D-line over potential franchise QB for a few years now and can't afford to do it again. | |
Eric: | This has been a lock for some time. Rams can't pass up another franchise QB. | ||
Eric | 2 | Lions | Ndamukong Suh - DT (Nebraska) |
Comments: | Charlie: | Jim Schwartz will be happy to land either Suh or McCoy. | |
Eric: | Lions are happy to finish the D-line makeover with a rare talent. | ||
Charlie | 3 | Buccaneers | Gerald McCoy - DT (Oklahoma) |
Comments: | Charlie: | McCoy will be the key to the much needed Bucs defensive makeover. | |
Eric: | McCoy is the perfect style for the Bucs defense. Can he be the next Warren Sapp? | ||
Eric | 4 | Redskins | Russell Okung - OT (Oklahoma State) |
Comments: | Charlie: | With McNabb in place as Shanahan's QB (IMO, for at least the next few years), protecting him becomes a priority. | |
Eric: | LT is the priority here, especially after the McNabb trade. Okung is the safest LT in the draft. | ||
Charlie | 5 | Chiefs | Dan Williams - DT (Tennessee) |
Comments: | Charlie: | Pioli continues to rebuild the Chiefs in the mold of the Patriots, following the pick of 3-4 DE last year with 3-4 nose this year. | |
Eric: | Williams is flying up the board and while he lacks the talent of Suh and McCoy, he should be a solid 3-4 NT. | ||
Eric | 6 | Seahawks | Trent Williams - OT (Oklahoma) |
Comments: | Charlie: | With Walter Jones' career likely coming to an end, Okung should help get Hasselbeck and the Seahawks offense back to form. | |
Eric: | Williams may have more upside than Okung, and the Seahawks need to fill the void at LT. | ||
Charlie | 7 | Browns | Jimmy Clausen - QB (Notre Dame) |
Comments: | Charlie: | Though most people project a defensive player here, I have a feeling Holmgren & Co. like him a lot more than we know. | |
Eric: | Can't see the Browns taking Clausen if Berry is on the board. | ||
Eric | 8 | Raiders | Eric Berry - S (Tennessee) |
Comments: | Charlie: | Applaud the Raiders for taking the best player available here vastly improving their secondary. Also consider a D-Lineman. | |
Eric: | Raiders take a top 2 talent in this draft, getting speed and playmaking ability for their secondary. | ||
Charlie | 9 | Bills | Anthony Davis - OT (Rutgers) |
Comments: | Charlie: | Bills take Davis despite questions of his maturity, passing on Bulaga due to concerns he lacks physical tools to be a LT in the NFL. | |
Eric: | I think Davis slides a bit on draft day over maturity issues, and Bulaga would go ahead of him, but he's got top 10 talent. | ||
Eric | 10 | Jaguars | Derrick Morgan - DE (Georgia Tech) |
Comments: | Charlie: | Morgan is no longer a flashy pick but he's perhaps the most prepared and well rounded DE in the draft, ready to play from Day 1. | |
Eric: | Jags take the top DE in the draft, and keep Morgan's hand on the ground. | ||
Charlie | 11 | Broncos | Rolando McClain - LB (Alabama) |
Comments: | Charlie: | I know some may consider Bryant here but to me it would make zero sense. McClain fits perfectly with their defense. | |
Eric: | McClain is a beast and will be a 3-down linebacker. Denver also needs a WR with BM going to Miami and think about Dez. | ||
Eric | 12 | Dolphins | Jason Pierre-Paul - OLB (South Florida) |
Comments: | Charlie: | Dolphins no longer need to look at WR with this pick and go with the defensive player with the most upside in the draft. | |
Eric: | JPP is a physical freak, and with the arrival of BM, the Dolphins look to improve their pass rush in a division loaded on offense. | ||
Charlie | 13 | 49ers | Bryan Bulaga - OT (Iowa) |
Comments: | Charlie: | Arguably a Top 10 talent who slips to them at 13. 49ers go with Bulaga here as a value pick. He will play RT, keeping Staley at LT. | |
Eric: | Tough, physical and smart are traits that Mike Singletary is looking for. | ||
Eric | 14 | Seahawks | C.J. Spiller - RB (Clemson) |
Comments: | Charlie: | Seahawks need to add more playmakers to a mediocre offense. I believe they also look at Dez Bryant here, lacking a #1 WR. | |
Eric: | Having filled the need at LT, the Seahawks take an explosive talent on offense and in the return game. | ||
Charlie | 15 | Giants | Joe Haden - CB (Florida) |
Comments: | Charlie: | Another value pick. Haden is a welcomed addition joining Rolle and Ross in what was a depleted secondary in 2009. | |
Eric: | Giants take the top CB in this years draft. Haden is a top 10 talent. I think the Giants go LB here though. | ||
Eric | 16 | Titans | Jared Odrick - DT (Penn State) |
Comments: | Charlie: | Odrick may be better suited to play 3-4 DE, but can play DT in a 4-3. He's a very good technician. Titans might go CB instead. | |
Eric: | Odrick's moving up and could go higher. He's a high motor guy and was extremely productive at PSU. Could play either DL spot. | ||
Charlie | 17 | 49ers | Earl Thomas - S (Texas) |
Comments: | Charlie: | Not sure if Thomas will still be available but the 49ers are thrilled that he is. They need to add a playmaker in the secondary. | |
Eric: | Thomas is instinctive and makes plays all over the field. He'll start at FS and can cover well enough to cover the slot. | ||
Eric | 18 | Steelers | Maurkice Pouncey - C (Florida) |
Comments: | Charlie: | Not sure if Pouncey is a "rare" talent and think the Steelers reach here. We can only hope they did. | |
Eric: | Steelers grab a rare talent at center. He will stabilize the line for the next decade. | ||
Charlie | 19 | Falcons | Brandon Graham - DE (Michigan) |
Comments: | Charlie: | Graham made a living (Michigan must keep that money 'cause he still hasen't seen a nickel) in the backfield. Very productive. | |
Eric: | I love Brandon Graham. I'd like to see him play OLB in a 3-4 but he'll be productive as a 4-3 DE as he was at Michigan. | ||
Eric | 20 | Texans | Kyle Wilson - CB (Boise State) |
Comments: | Charlie: | Texans need to add a corner and get a good one in Kyle Wilson. He's rated very close to Joe Haden. | |
Eric: | With Dunta Robinson gone, the Texans need a CB if they are going to compete with the Colts. | ||
Charlie | 21 | Bengals | Dez Bryant - WR (Oklahoma State) |
Comments: | Charlie: | This just in to OCNN: Bengals pick up right where they left off in last year's draft, taking a highly rated player that fell to them. | |
Eric: | Bryant gives the Bengals a legit number 1. Chad Johnson will be happy to have some help on the other side. | ||
Eric | 22 | Patriots | Mike Iupati - G (Idaho) |
Comments: | Charlie: | Iupati es Mipati? Well, it will be in Gillette Stadium. Iupati projects as a dominant guard who can double as swing tackle. | |
Eric: | Pats need to sure up the interior of their line, as the starters in NE are getting a bit long in the tooth. | ||
Charlie | 23 | Packers | Bruce Campbell - OT (Maryland) |
Comments: | Charlie: | Although there are concerns over Campbell's technique, he is perhaps the most physically gifted OT in the draft. | |
Eric: | The Packers re-signed both OT which will give Campbell, a year to get ready for the NFL. | ||
Eric | 24 | Eagles | Sean Weatherspoon - OLB (Missouri) |
Comments: | Charlie: | Eagles are thrilled to add Spoon, who fills a huge void in their defense. | |
Eric: | I don't think Spoon makes it this far, but if so the Eagles will be quick to call his name… he is a big time playmaker. | ||
Charlie | 25 | Ravens | Jermaine Gresham - TE (Oklahoma) |
Comments: | Charlie: | Ozzie has focused the offseason on improving his receiving corps and continues to in the draft, giving Flacco another weapon. | |
Eric: | Ravens need to replace an aging and oft injured Todd Heap. Gresham will provide a reliable big target for Flacco. | ||
Eric | 26 | Cardinals | Sergio Kindle - OLB (Texas) |
Comments: | Charlie: | Kindle is flying up the draft boards and looks to be gone by the time the Cardinals pick on April 22. Also look at secondary here. | |
Eric: | Drawing comparisons to Brian Orakpo. The Cardinals immediately upgrade their pass rush with this pick. | ||
Charlie | 27 | Cowboys | Charles Brown - OT (USC) |
Comments: | Charlie: | Cowboys have to address their offensive line early and perhaps often in the first few rounds of this draft. | |
Eric: | Gone is Flozell Adams and in is Charles Brown. | ||
Eric | 28 | Chargers | Ryan Mathews - RB (Fresno State) |
Comments: | Charlie: | Seems like this is the landing spot for the talented back out of Fresno State. We'll see if this is how it really plays out in a week. | |
Eric: | Mathews is a versatile runner who can do it all. Will be a nice combo with Sproles. | ||
Charlie | 29 | Jets | Carlos Dunlap - OLB (Florida) |
Comments: | Charlie: | Jets modeled their locker room after the Ravens. They have strong leadership and will keep Dunlap focused. Great upside. | |
Eric: | With an attitude that says who cares?... Its only football, the Jets take one man with 4 syllables… Car - los - dun-lap. | ||
Eric | 30 | Vikings | Devin McCourty - CB (Rutgers) |
Comments: | Charlie: | Vikings consider Colt McCoy here but still haven't given up on Tavaris Jackson. CB is a more pressing need. | |
Eric: | Vikes think about taking a young QB, but ultimately with Brett being in his 60's its win now… and they need CB help. | ||
Charlie | 31 | Colts | Brian Price - DT (UCLA) |
Comments: | Charlie: | Thought he might stay in school another year but he certainly has the skill to go pro now. Might have been Top 5 pick next year. | |
Eric: | Price will be huge (literally) in the middle of the Colt's defense. The Colts need O-line, but there is no value here for a C or G. | ||
Eric | 32 | Saints | Everson Griffen - DE (USC) |
Comments: | Charlie: | Griffen is athletic and versatile. Can play both with his hand in the dirt or standing up. Fits what the Saints like to do perfectly. | |
Eric: | The Saints offense will continue to put up huge numbers. Griffen's pass rush abilities help make sure the opponent will not. | ||

Clausen, really Charlie. I am a little disappointed in that decision. I also disagree with the Browns discussing a trade with the Rams for Bradford. If anything, I believe the Browns should trade their pick (similar to what they did last year). There is a reason why the same teams are the top picks every year. Do not invest so much in a number 1-10 draft pick.
ReplyDeleteOn another note, I would like to congratulate myself on being an American.
Not sure how I feel about Clausen. I think he's a lot better than people give him credit.
