| 2010 NFL Mock Draft (4/22/2010) - FINAL |
| 1. St. Louis Rams: Sam Bradford - QB (Oklahoma) |
 |
We've known this was this pick for weeks. Sam Bradford will be the number one pick tonight. |
 |
| 2. Detroit Lions: Ndamukong Suh - DT (Nebraska) |
 |
Head Coach Jim Schwartz wants a dominating defense. Suh is another piece to the puzzle. With the addition of Rob Sims, Jeff Backus will likely stay at LT. |
 |
| 3. Tampa Bay Buccs: Gerald McCoy - DT (Oklahoma) |
 |
Tampa is in a great spot to get a fantastic player. McCoy could be a top pick in any other year. |
 |
| 4. Washington Redskins: Trent Williams - OT (Oklahoma) |
 |
Giving into the pressure. Shanahan shocks again by taking the more athletic OT over the best offensive tackle in Russell Okung. |
 |
| 5. Kansas City Chiefs: Russell Okung - OT (Oklahoma State) |
 |
With the #1 rated OT, Okung, still on the board, KC cannot pass him up. Bryan Bulaga and Eric Berry are still options here. |
 |
| 6. Seattle Seahawks: Eric Berry - S (Tennessee) |
 |
With offensive tackles Okung and Williams off the board Seattle will go with the playmaking safety, Eric Berry. |
 |
| 7. Cleveland Browns: Earl Thomas - S (Texas) |
 |
One safety in the top 10 is rare. Two is unheard of. The Browns are rumored to be enamored with both Berry and Thomas. |
 |
| 8. Oakland Raiders: Anthony Davis - OT (Rutgers) |
 |
If one thing is certain, Davis will shock with this pick. I wanted to put Jason Pierre-Paul here but with the team's recent trade for Quentin Groves, I've backed off. |
 |
| 9. Buffalo Bills: Bryan Bulaga - OT (Iowa) |
 |
The Bills need help on both lines. This pick is between Bulaga and Dan Williams. Clausen is also a high possibility but rumors swirl the team covets a more mobile QB. |
 |
| 10. Jacksonville Jaguars: Derrick Morgan - DE (Georgia Tech) |
 |
Gene Smith likes to take the best player available and values character. I think they would like to trade down if possible. |
 |
| 11. Denver Broncos: Rolando McClain - ILB (Alabama) |
 |
With McClain, the Broncos get a smart and determined three-year starter with 3-4 experience at inside linebacker. |
 |
| 12. Miami Dolphins: Sergio Kindle - OLB (Texas) |
 |
Miami could go a few directions with this pick. I think a dominant pass rush is what Parcells and Co. are looking for. |
 |
| 13. San Francisco 49ers: Joe Haden - CB (Florida) |
 |
The 49ers could use some help along the offensive line but Haden fills a huge hole in the secondary. |
 |
| 14. Seattle Seahawks: CJ Spiller - RB (Clemson) |
|
Could this be the "Smooth Criminal" that HC Pete Carroll tweeted about last night? Team missed out on adding OT. |
 |
| 15. New York Giants: Dan Williams - DT (Tennessee) |
 |
The Giants could opt for an interior lineman or DE. Williams provides some needed help on the defensive line. |
 |
| 16. Tennessee Titans: Jason Pierre-Paul - DE (South Florida) |
 |
The Titan's defensive line has changed dramatically over the past few years and it will change even more this year. |
 |
| 17. San Francisco 49ers: Jimmy Clausen - QB (Notre Dame) |
|
Is Alex Smith the real answer here? I do not think so. If Clausen is still here, the 49ers cannot pass on him. |
 |
| 18. Pittsburgh Steelers: Mike Iupati - OG (Idaho) |
 |
The Steelers need some protection for their QB's as Big Ben was hit hard last year. CB and OLB are possibilities too...even DT if Dan Williams falls. |
 |
| 19. Atlanta Falcons: Brandon Graham - DE (Michigan) |
 |
The Falcons experiment with former 1st round pick Jamaal Anderson has been a huge failure. The team needs to generate a pass rush if the defense is to improve and keep up with its offense. |
 |
| 20. Houston Texans: Devin McCourty - CB (Rutgers) |
 |
The Texans are on the lookout for a "big" back to pair with Steve Slaton. This draft is littered with bigger backs. Get the CB now and take a look at RB Toby Gerhart in the 2nd. Possible trade partner with Philly or another team looking to move up. |
 |
| 21. Cincinnati Bengals: Dez Bryant - WR (Oklahoma State) |
 |
The Bengals will take the BPA in this slot. If Dez Bryant is on the board, I don't see the team letting him go any further. |
 |
| 22. New England Patriots: Jared Odrick - DT (Penn State) |
 |
Odrick is the perfect fit for a team that needs to replace Richard Seymour's DE spot in the 3-4. Jermaine Gresham is also a high possiblity here. |
 |
| 23. Green Bay Packers: Charles Brown - OT (Southern California) |
 |
I think it might be too high for Green Bay to take OLB Jerry Hughes. They need some help on the offensive line if Clifton does down again. |
 |
| 24. Philadelphia Eagles: Kyle Wilson - CB (Boise State) |
 |
The Eagles get a corner they so desperately need. Wilson could be gone by 24 but I also think the Eagles could be trading up to get him or a safety they covet. |
 |
| 25. Baltimore Ravens: Jermaine Gresham - TE (Oklahoma) |
 |
I've seen Demaryius Thomas mocked here but I just don't see it. I could see this team going after a pass rushing OLB or corner before going offense. |
 |
| 26. Arizona Cardinals: Jerry Hughes - OLB (Texas Christian) |
 |
The Cardinals need some help on the outside. Bertrand Berry is gone and Arizona needs to fix the defense as the offense could struggle with QB Matt Leinart at the helm. |
 |
| 27. Dallas Cowboys: Rodger Saffold - OT (Indiana) |
 |
The Cowboys are stating they like their WR corp and they released starting OT Flozell Adams. Tony Romo needs some protection. Saffold is climbing up boards. |
 |
| 28. San Diego Chargers: Ryan Mathews - RB (Fresno State) |
 |
Mathews could fit nicely within LT's former role. Expect DT to handled in the 2nd or 3rd round. |
 |
| 29. New York Jets: Taylor Mays - S (Southern California) |
 |
The Jets just acquired Santonio Holmes, eliminating the need for a WR. Jason Taylor just signed a one year deal so OLB is not an immediate need but do not discount it. With Mays, HC Rex Ryan gets the type of physical player he covets. |
 |
| 30. Minnesota Vikings: Kareem Jackson - CB (Alabama) |
 |
Both starting corners, Antoine Winfield and Cedric Griffiin, battled injuries last season so getting a corner like Jackson should make the team happy. |
 |
| 31. Indianapolis Colts: Maurkice Pouncey - OC (Florida) |
 |
With Pouncey still on the board and Jeff Saturday nearing retirement, Pouncey becomes the heir apparent. In the mean time, he can be plugged into a starting guard spot. |
 |
| 32. New Orleans Saints: Sean Weatherspoon - OLB (Missouri) |
 |
Weatherspoon could be long gone by this pick but if he falls, the Saints will scoop him up. Sorry, terrible joke, I know. |
