Shake's 3/21 Mock

by shake n bake on Mar 21, 2010 8:59 PM EDT in NFL Draft

A few picks changing hands, some Pro Day results and more FA signings means it's time for a new mock

				Round 1
1	St Louis	Sam Bradford	QB	Oklahoma	Not the pick I'd make, but what the Rams appear set to do.
2	Detroit	Ndamukong Suh	DT	Nebraska	The top player in the draft at the position of the Lions biggest need, Lions fans rejoice. The Lions added Corey Williams, but Williams is a 3-tech while Suh is strong enough to be a disruptive 1-tech
3	Tampa Bay	Gerald McCoy	DT	Oklahoma	Elite player at a major need position.
4	Washington	Russel Okung	OT	Oklahoma St.	The Redskins missed out on a free agent LT, and they are set to go with Jason Campbell for another year. Okung helps give Campbell a decent shot and set the table for a QB of the future.
5	Kansas City	Eric Berry	S	Tennessee	Berry is one of the rare safeties that justify a top 10 pick.
6	Seattle	Derrick Morgan	DE	Georgia Tech	Pete Carrol obviously sees something in Charlie Whitehurst to have given up 40 slots in the 2nd round for him.
7	Cleveland	Joe Haden	CB	Florida	You don't pay Delhomme that much to be a 1 year stopgap (I would say you don't pay Delhomme that much period, but what do I know). Haden put the speed concerns to rest at his Pro Day.
8	Oakland	Bruce Campbell	OT	Maryland	Freak athlete at a need position. Easy.
9	Buffalo	Jimmy Clausen	QB	Notre Dame	The Bills have a lot of needs, but no team wants to go into a season with Ryan Fitzpatrick as it's QB.
10	Jacksonville	Rolando McClain	MLB	Alabama	BPA for the Jags now that they've made a move to help the pass rush.
11	Denver	Dan Williams	NT	Tennessee	With so many teams running 3-4s now the key parts on the DL are going to greatly increase in value. They have Jamal Williams in the fold, but he's aging and coming off a major injury.
12	Miami	Sergio Kindle	OLB	Texas	An edge rusher to fill Joey Porter's spot in the D.
13	San Fran	Bryan Bulaga	OT	Iowa	Niners get a great tackle to start at RT and slide to LT if needed.
14	Seattle	Charles Brown	OT	USC	Seattle needs a LT with Walter Jones strugging with a knee injury and pondering retirement. Brown fits the ZBS better than Anthony Davis and the LT position better than Trent Williams.
15	NY Giants	Brian Price	DT	UCLA	Earl Thomas is value here, but even if Phillips isn't ready for week 1, two 1st rounders and a FA deal like Rolle's is too much to put into the safety spot.
16	Tennessee	Jason Pierre-Paul	DE	South Florida	The Titans pass D was shredded last year due to a lack of pass rush and DB injuries.
17	San Fran	C.J. Spiller	RB	Clemson	A secondary back, utility player and return man to give the Niners O a boost behind the upgraded line.
18	Pittsburgh	Earl Thomas	S	Texas	Thomas can compliment Polamalu as the free safety and do a better job moving around the D as a fill in than anyone they had last year.
19	Atlanta	Brandon Graham	DE	Michigan	A very productive pass rusher who holds up well against the run
20	Houston	Kyle Wilson	CB	Boise St.	2nd best CB in the draft to replace Dunta.
21	Cincinnati	Dez Bryant	WR	Oklahoma St.	Top WR in the draft falls to a team badly in need of targets.
22	New England	Jared Odrick	DE	Penn St.	Pats need to rebuild their front 7 and Odrick is better value than any 3-4 OLB left.
23	Green Bay	Anthony Davis	OT	Rutgers	The Packers can go the Tarik Glenn (another elite pass protector with weight issues) path with Davis, starting him at LG as a rookie before kicking him out to LT for the next decade.
24	Philadelphia	Sean Weatherspoon	OLB	Missouri	Weatherspoon to replace Witherspoon.
25	Baltimore	Carlos Dunlap	DE	Florida	With the WR corps upgraded through trade the Ravens can keep their D at a high level with a great talent like Dunlap.
26	Arizona	Trent Williams	T/G	Oklahoma	The Cards pass pro was good but not great and they struggled keeping defenders out of the backfield against the run with over 1 in 5 runs going for no gain or a loss. Williams should help that and boost their bottom 5 success in power running.
27	Dallas	Mike Iupati	G	Idaho	A big mauler, Iupati fits the Cowboys mold perfectly.
28	San Diego	Ryan Mathews	RB	Frenso St.	Nice compliment to Sproles, who shouldn't be counted on to carry a major share of the load at his size.
29	NY Jets	Ricky Sapp	OLB	Clemson	The Jets got 11 sacks from their OLBs, only 3 from their OLB not named Calvin Pace. Sapp gives them another guy to get after the passer from that spot.
30	Minnesota	Devin McCourty	CB	Rutgers	Great fit for a Tampa-2 inspired D like Leslie Fraizer's in Minny.
31	Indianapolis	Maurkice Pouncey	C/G	Florida	With the first round tackles gone and without great value elsewhere the Colts add a stud guard and successor to Jeff Saturday in the middle.
32	New Orleans	Everson Griffen	DE	USC	High potential DE, who didn't live up to it in his college production. Worth the risk this late in the 1st.

				Round 2
33	St Louis	Jermaine Gresham	TE	Oklahoma	A great receiving TE is a rookie QBs best friend.
34	Detroit	Chad Jones	SS	LSU	Big strong safety with decent range and great run support skills.
35	Tampa Bay	Golden Tate	WR	Notre Dame	Great WR prospect for a team that needs to upgrade that spot if they expect Freeman to succeed.
36	Kansas City	Terrence Cody	NT	Alabama	For all his flaws Cody can hold down the middle, which will get him drafted early by a 3-4 team.
37	Washington	Colt McCoy	QB	Texas	The Redskins have their cornerstone LT, now they need the new FO's QB of the future for Okung to protect.
38	Cleveland	Damian Williams	WR	USC	The Browns are majorly lacking targets after shipping Edwards and Winslow out of town.
39	Oakland	Taylor Mays	S	USC	With how well he worked out at the combine he's a possibility at #8. Al Davis would be thrilled with him at #39.
40	San Diego	Patrick Robinson	CB	Florida St.	While he is more a cover corner he's gotta make more of an effort in run support than Cromartie did.
41	Buffalo	Rodger Saffold	OT	Indiana	The Bills D needs an injection of 3-4 talent, but with their franchise QB in the fold they've gotta protect him.
42	Tampa Bay	Daryl Washington	OLB	TCU	Washington is a perfect fit for a Tampa-2 team at WILL or if they are willing to give up a bit of size, MIKE.
43	Miami	Nate Allen	S	South Florida	The Dolphins were beat deep too often. With a new OLB and S that shouldn't be a problem.
44	New England	Jerry Hughes	OLB	TCU	The Pats get a excellent pass rusher to continue the front 7 revamp.
45	Denver	Brandon Spikes	ILB	Florida	His inability to run a 40 in under 5 seconds has raised serious concerns about his range, but he covered his lack of speed well at Florida with great instincts. In the mid 2nd they can take the risk that he'll only be a 2 down player and hopefully get a stud LB.
46	NY Giants	Morgan Burnett	S	Georgia Tech	Burnett is versatile enough to play both safety spots. He can fill in until Phillips is ready to return and give the Giants a great 3 safety combo after.
47	New England	Jonathan Dwyer	RB	Georgia Tech	Dwyer will need an adjustment period coming from a triple option O, and the Pats RB by committee arrangement will give him the time. He can be their pounding inside back as he learns to play in the passing game.
48	Carolina	Demaryious Thomas	WR	Georgia Tech	Bey-Bey needs to learn to run a Pro route tree, but his triple option experience taught him to block well, an significant asset to a team that runs like Carolina. Thomas is a project but has the WR classes highest ceiling.
49	San Francisco	Reshad Jones	SS	Georgia	A high potential guy with enough polish to contribute early.
50	Kansas City	Aaron Hernandez	TE	Florida	The Chiefs have several solid options for blocking TEs, but Hernandez gives them a great receiving threat there.
51	Houston	Toby Gerhart	RB	Stanford	A power back to compliment Slaton's shifty style with the skills to contribute to the Texans passing game.
52	Pittsburgh	Kareem Jackson	CB	Alabama	With Thomas and Jackson the Steelers should be able to hold onto their late leads next year.
53	New England	Mike Johnson	G/RT	Alabama	The Pats upgrade their offensive front after building up the D's.
54	Cincinnati	Rob Gronkowski	TE	Arizona	Excellent value on a TE that'll block well in-line and provide a reliable target.
55	Philadelphia	Dominique Franks	CB	Oklahoma	DB value to help the D hold onto the leads the explosive O gains.
56	Green Bay	Eric Norwood	OLB	South Carolina	The rare 3-4 OLB prospect that won't have to learn to play in space and coverage.
57	Baltimore	Anthony McCoy	TE	USC	Baltimore Ravens, offensive powerhouse?
58	Arizona	Navarro Bowman	ILB	Penn State	Linebacker U product to replace Dansby
59	Dallas	Arrelious Benn	WR	Illinois	Big WR to take the place of the disappointing Roy Williams.
60	Seattle	Jahvid Best	RB	California	Justin Forsett has some promise, but Best is great value here as an explosive RB.
61	NY Jets	Brandon LaFell	WR	LSU	Value on a new target for the Sanchise.
62	Minnesota	Montario Hardesty	RB	Tennessee	Everything Adrian Peterson isn't. A good pass blocker with plenty of skill and experience catching out of the backfield and good ball security.
63	Indianapolis	Corey Wootton	DE/DT	Northwestern	A perfect fit for Raheem Brock's vacated role as a run down DE and sliding inside in passing situations. A steal if he regains the explosiveness of his junior year, a role player if he doesn't.
64	New Orleans	Arthur Jones	DT	Syracuse	Stout DT to combine with a pair of disruptive DTs in the Saints middle.
				Round 3
65	St. Louis	Jermaine Cunningham	DE	Florida	Pass rusher to play opposite Chris Long instead of the aged Leonard Little.
66	Detroit	Vlad Ducasse	G	Massachusetts	Good guard with the possibility of a future move to tackle.
67	Tampa Bay	Jason Worilds	DE	Virgina Tech	Additional pass rush to boost the D.
68	Kansas City	Dexter McCluster	ATH	Mississippi	Versatile offensive weapon for the Chiefs. Could be their Kevin Faulk.
69	Washington	X	X	X	Forfeit for pick 2009 Supplemental Draft
70	Oakland	Geno Atkins	DT	Georgia	Lots of DT value on the board. Raiders obviously get the best athlete with the questionable motor.
71	Philadelphia	T.J. Ward	S	Oregon	More DB help for the Eagles to keep the pass D strong.
72	Cleveland	Ben Tate	RB	Auburn	Strong back to compliment Jerome Harrison
73	Buffalo	Cam Thomas	NT	North Carolina	A key piece to the Bills new 3-4.
74	Miami	Torrell Troup	NT	Central Florida	The running theme of 3-4 teams needing to make sure they get their pieces.
75	Jacksonville	Perish Cox	CB	Oklahoma St.	Eventual replacement for Rashean Mathis and a good returner for a team without one.
76	Chicago	Jared Veldheer	OT	Hillsdale	A excellent tackle prospect falls to the Chicago's first pick. Bears fans rejoice.
77	NY Giants	Donald Butler	MLB	Connecticut	Successor to Antonio Pierce in the middle of the Giants D.
78	Tennessee	Donovan Warren	CB	Michigan	Aggressive CB to pair with Cortland Finnegan.
79	Carolina	Lamarr Houston	DT	Texas	disruptive tackle for the interior of the Panthers Tampa-2 inspired D.
80	San Francisco	J.D. Walton	C/G	Baylor	Strong bruiser of an interior lineman to strengthen the Niners line.
81	Denver	Matt Tennant	C/G	Boston College	Athletic lineman to fit the Broncos' scheme.
82	Houston	Shawn Lauvao	G	Arizona St.	Bolstering the Texans line, to keep the offense rolling.
83	Pittsburgh	Ciron Black	T/G	LSU	Formerly a elite LT prospect Black can contribute in several different places along the line.
84	Atlanta	Roderick Muckelroy	OLB	Texas	Graham and Muckelroy will be a big upgrade on the edge of the Falcons front 7.
85	Cincinnati	Greg Hardy	DE	Mississippi	Could be a young Julius Peppers or could be a fat injured and young Peppers.
86	Cleveland	Alex Carrington	DE	Arkansas St.	Very good 3-4 DE prospect.
87	Green Bay	Akwasi Owusu-Ansah	CB	Indiana (PA)	Big physical CB will fit right in with the Packers scheme.
88	Philadelphia	Koa Misi	DE	Utah	Good pass rusher to line up opposite Trent Cole.
89	Arizona	Amari Spievey	CB	Iowa	CB depth is a need for a team that expects to light up the scoreboard on O.
90	Arizona	Linval Joseph	DT	East Carolina	Big DT/NT for the middle of the Cards hybrid D.
91	Dallas	Darrell Stuckey	S	Kansas	OL, WR, and finally safety to round out the Cowboy's top needs.
92	San Diego	Jamar Chaney	ILB	Mississippi St.	With the NTs value off the board the Chargers strengthen their LB corps.
93	Cleveland	Dennis Pitta	TE	BYU	Versatile target to play in-line and in the slot.
94	Minnesota	Dan LeFevour	QB	Central Michigan	Vikings need a QB of the future, but likely have some time to develop him.
95	Indianapolis	Javier Arenas	CB	Alabama	CB depth and the return game are two of the Colts weakest spots. Arenas addresses both.
96	New Orleans	Sean Lee	LB	Penn State	LB whose strong against the run with blitzing skills for the Saints aggressive D.

QB:Jevan Snead, Sean Cantfield, Tony Pike

Are you kidding me?!

This is a perfect dream draft for the Colts! Maurkice Pouncey is the best pick the Colts could possibly get. Not only does this kid have a winners mentality, but he also is exactly the kind of lineman we need that we be a great replacement Center when The Great Jeff Saturday retires.

Yeah....

you are way overreacting there. It’s not my dream draft… Which would be a one of the top 6 tackle prospects falling to 31. It’s not like I said I hated the Pouncey pick. With the way it played out I’d be fine with the pick.

first round

i’m thinking the colts take TE Gresham in the first round if available.. polian is consistant in using the first round to grab weapons for manning.. clark, the maybe the best TE in the game now, is beginning to age and it took clark three years to learn the offense.. better grab a guy now

by ColtfaninPitts on Mar 21, 2010 9:41 PM EDT reply actions

I actually agree with this

But I don’t know how the Colts FO grades him. They take BPA, but they put a premium on offensive talent especially at the top of the board.

Well was right for sure about your first pick.

second I don’t know if I like Worilds or Jones better they would both be good there and Arenas works there

This mock draft is wrong.

It has Oakland making a sensible pick…..

In football, the object is for the quarterback, otherwise known as the field general, to be on target with his aerial assault, riddling the defense by hitting his recievers with deadly accuracy in spite of the blitz, even if he has to use the shotgun. With short bullet passes and long bombs, he marches his troops into enemy territory, balancing this aerial assault with a sustained ground attack that punches holes in the forward wall of the enemy's defensive line.

In baseball the object is to go home! And to be safe! "I hope I'll be safe at home!"

that drafting Michael Crabtree last year with an obvious need at WR would be easy to do as well, but nooooooooooo, gotta go with a last 1st rounder in Heyward-Bey. The lack of logic in Oakland knows no bounds.

Its a solid draft

it look pretty safe, but on paper it seems that all of them would be able to fill a role from opening day.
It looks like everyone wants Arenas in the 3rd (hopefully he doesnt being guns to the locker room)

yeah, not a lot of pop

but when you start 14-0, go to the Super Bowl and lose relatively little you really only need to add role players.

But isn’t Pouncey a redundant pick, as we already have two centers-turned-guards (Pollak and Justice) on the roster?

Pouncey is far better

he’s not my first choice by any means, but he’s the best pick with who I had available.

Oh my mistake

But judging by Polian’s best player available mentality, and our new attitude on the line, I don’t doubt this pick.

Still, I’d love it if a first-round tackle, offensive or defensive, fell to 31.

This is where Shake's and my opinion diverge

which does not happen often.

Just two years ago we got “the best center in the draft, the heir to Saturday, who can play G while being groomed to replace the legend.” In fact, we drafted three centers in that draft. I won’t say all three suck… but the glory of getting the top C in the draft to replace Saturday someday has left me feeling a little “once bitten, twice shy.”

I am largely out of the NCAA FB loop, but this first round pick just doesn’t feel like it’s gonna happen for me. Maybe they have a round 2/3 OT they like and will trade down and add a couple picks, like the year they drafted Sanders. Maybe it’s DE depth. Not sure. But C/G…. it’s Matt Millenesque to keep hititng the same position at the top of your draft, and if there is anything Polian is not it’s Matt Milenesque.

Besides that, I wouldn’t be surprised if the Colts take Jermaine Gresham in the 1st.

It's not outright "dislike"

It’s “not like”. At least for me.

In this scenario, I don’t see any better options, except trade down.

It's just

I rather take an OT, DE, CB in the first round.

me too, but there wasn't a prospect I liked available at any of those positions.

Luck is probability taken personally, clutch is probability attributed to individuals.

Just how deeply can your senses be wrong? With some VR goggles, a camera and a touch on the back researchers were able to overcome a person's sense of being inside their own body.

I don't think Wootton is even close to a reach

when I realized I forgot him I started looking for where to put him in the early 2nd and was shocked I couldn’t find somewhere I liked him more than the pick I had until Indy.

I am not sold on that pick

Polian is gonna throw the whole league a curve ball. I think we draft a DB/S. With more teams passing, and the losses of Jennings and Jackson. Polian may consider drafting a corner. The DB class isn’t the best this year so, it’s possible we get a DB while the taking is good. If we draft o line I wont be upset.
