2010 NFL Mock Draft Written on 4/19/2010

Randy Inman
Thanks for checking out this 2010 NFL mock draft on Associatedcontent.com, and feel free to use our search option to look for more. This 2010 NFL mock draft contains round one and two combined in one article. To read my live coverage of the 2010 NFL draft, come to this link on the night of the draft.

1 Saint Louis Rams- Sam Bradford QB- Oklahoma

The Rams are going to select Sam Bradford with the first pick in the 2010 NFL draft, so he will join other quarterbacks taken with the first overall pick. I think Bradford will be thrown to the wolves as the Rams only have journeyman A.J. Feely and young quarterbacks Keith Null and Mike Reilly on their roster.

2 Detroit Lions- Ndamukong Suh DT- Nebraska

This pick differs from my previous 2010 NFL Mock Draft. Suh may be the best player in the game, and the Lions need line help in a bad way. Suh is a solid pick at number two for the Detroit Lions.

3 Tampa Bay Buccaneers- Gerald McCoy DT-Oklahoma

Gerald McCoy is a great pick for the Tampa Bay Buccaneers with the 3rd selection in the 2010 NFL draft. McCoy may make the Buc's fans start to forget about Warren Sapp.

4 Washington Redskins- Russell Okrung OT- Oklahoma State

The Redskins traded for Donovan McNabb which means they think they can win now. The addition of Russell Okrung addresses a pitiful offensive line for the Redskins.

5 Kansas City Chiefs- Bryan Bulaga, T- Iowa

The Chiefs may be tempted to take Clausen or Eric Berry here but their offensive line needs to be addressed. Bryan Bulaga perhaps is better suited to play right tackle in the NFL but he will still fill a need for the Chiefs. He makes the most sense here in my 2010 NFL mock draft.

6 Seattle Seahawks- Eric Berry S- Tennessee

The Seahawks have many needs but Eric Berry gives them a dynamic playmaker in the defensive backfield that comes from a tough college football division.

7 Cleveland Browns- Jimmy Clausen QB- Notre Dame

The Browns are happy to get Jimmy Clausen here, who I had ranked as the top quarterback in the 2010 NFL draft.

8 Oakland Raiders- Joe Haden CB-Florida

The Raiders have so many needs that the best player on the board will be taken in this 2010 NFL mock draft. Haden adds some pop to what may be a decent defense in 2010.

9 Buffalo Bills-Trent Williams OT- Oklahoma

If Clausen drops this far then the Bills will jump on him. But I think they go for Trent Williams with the 9th pick.

10 Jacksonville Jaguars- Bruce Campbell OT- Maryland

Campbell helps a below average offensive line here for the Jaguars.

11 Denver Broncos- Rolando McClain ILB- Alabama

McClain is the best inside linebacker in the draft, and the Broncos need defense badly. It is possible Dez Bryant goes here, but I think it will be McClain.

12 Miami Dolphins- Derrick Morgan DE-Georgia Tech

The Dolphins help a slow defense with the pass rush Morgan can provide. I wouldn't faint if they took Spiller here to replace Ronnie Brown, but I am going with Morgan in this 2010 NFL draft.

13 San Francisco 49ers-Anthony Davis OT-Rutgers

Davis needs to work on his weight and possibly his attitude but the 49ers grab him here.

14 Seattle Seahawks- Jason Pierre Paul DE-USF

Jason Pierre Paul is a freak of nature with very little playing experience and will make or break the 2010 NFL draft for the Seahawks.

15 New York Giants-Brandon Spikes LB-Florida

The Giants would love McClain but will settle for Brandon Spikes in their most needed position.

16 Tennessee Titans- Dan Williams D-Tennessee

The Titans are still trying to replace Albert Haynesworth and barring a trade for Haynesworth (which is possible) they will grab Williams here.

17 San Francisco 49ers C.J. Spiller RB-Clemson

I have Spiller ranked as the number one running back in the 2010 draft as you can see here. C.J. Spiller as a 49er will spell Gore and give the team some pop as a kick returner along with Ted Ginn Jr.

18 Pittsburgh Steelers- Kyle Wilson CB- Boise State

The Steelers will grab Wilson who is the best CB on the board at this point.

19 Atlanta Falcons- Taylor Mays FS- Southern California

The Falcons keep tweaking their secondary and Mays will be a welcome addition.

20 Houston Texans- Dez Bryant WR- Oklahoma State

Bryant is a risk due to attitude issues, but it worth a shot to give the Texans some more pop in the passing game.

21 Cincinnati Bengals- Earl Thomas S-Texas

If Thomas is still on the board, the Bengals will jump on him quickly here.

22 New England Patriots- Brandon Graham OLB/DE-Michigan

The Patriots will take the best lineman/linebacker available here who can help the pass rush.

23 Green Bay Packers- Charles Brown OT-USC

Brown gives the Packers the best option at this point to help an aging and poorly playing offensive line.

24 Philadelphia Eagles- Mike Iupati G-Idaho

This could be a reach, but the Eagles have an explosive offense in place that can only get better with some line help. Now that McNabb and Westbrook are gone the Eagles need some stability on the line to help their replacements.

25 Baltimore Ravens- Golden Tate WR-Notre Dame

Tate can be the 3rd or 4th option for a year and learn from Mason and Boldin. The Ravens may take a tight end here but I think that will come later.

26 Arizona Cardinals-Sean Weatherspoon LB- Missouri

If somehow Dez Bryant falls this far the Cardinals would be tempted, but I think they go LB here.

27 Dallas Cowboys- Dallas Cowboys-Markuis Pouncey, C/G, Florida

Pouncey can play guard or center and this ability can some in handy for America's team.

28 San Diego Chargers- Ryan Matthews RB- Fresno State

Matthews can replace LaDainian Tomlinson and help out Sproles in the Charger backfield.

29 New York Jets- Terrance Cody DT-Alabama

Cody can help Jenkins or replace him at plugging up the middle.

30 Minnesota Vikings Brian Price DT-UCLA

The Vikings may go defensive back here, but I think they need to address the age of their defensive tackles.

31 New Orleans Saints- Greg Hardy DE-Ole Miss

Hardy addresses their biggest need, but this team could also go DB if one falls that they like.

32 Indianapolis Colts-Chad Jones S-LSU

Jones can address the weakness in the Colts secondary.

That concludes the first round of my 2010 NFL Mock Draft. Feel free to leave comments or questions in the section below. Now on to the second round of my 2010 NFL mock draft.

33 Saint Louis Rams-Arrelious Benn WR-Illinois

The Rams add some pop to their passing game to help Bradford with this first pick in the second round of my 2010 NFL mock draft.

34 Detroit Lions- Carlos Dunlap, DE, Florida

The Lions may go DB here, but I think Dunlap is their best choice available here.

35 Tampa Bay Buccaneers- Sergio Kindle, DE/OLB, Texas

Ok I know Kindle may not fall this far but if he does the Bucs will pounce.

36 Philadelphia Eagles- Jahvid Best RB-California

The Eagles need a runner and he is the best (pun intended) on the board at this point.

37 Kansas City Chiefs-Jermaine Gresham, TE, OU

The Chiefs add the best tight end in the 2010 NFL draft with this pick.

38 Seattle Seahawks- Brandon LaFell WR-LSU

The Seahawks give their quarterbacks a nice gift in Brandon LaFell

39 Cleveland Browns- Everson Griffen, DE - USC

Cleveland snaps up the best defensive end left on the board here in round two of my 2010 NFL mock draft.

40 Oakland Raiders- Colt McCoy QB- Texas

The Raiders are very happy to grab Colt McCoy here to replace Russell when he falls on his face again.

41 Buffalo Bills- Tim Tebow QB- Florida

The wait is over for Tim Tebow as the Buffalo Bills draft him with the 41st pick in the draft. Believe it or not new coach Chan Gailey is a good offensive mind and may bring Tebow up to NFL standards.

42 New England Patriots- Toby Gerhart RB-Sanford

The Patriots have struggled to run the ball, and Gerhart is the best pick for their offense at this point.

43 Tampa Bay Buccaneers-- Jerry Hughes LB-TCU

Hughes is the best linebacker left at this point and the Bucs need help in that area.

44 Denver Broncos--Dexter McCluster WR-Mississippi

McCluster may be a reach here, but he adds pure speed and playmaking ability as either a receiver or runner.

45 San Francisco 49ers- Roger Saffold OT-Indiana

Saffold is the huge body type that scouts drool over and the 49ers grab him here.

46 Denver Broncos- Navorro Bowman, OL - PSU

Bowman feels a need at linebacker for the Broncos.

47 New York Giants-Demaryius Thomas, WR - GT

If Thomas can run real patterns in a real NFL offense, then he will give Eli Manning a nice target to throw to.

48 New England Patriots- -Devin McCourty CB-Rutgers

McCourty adds some youth to the Patriots secondary.

49 Carolina Panthers-Mardy Gilyard WR-Cincinnati

The Panthers address their biggest need with some speed at the receiver position.

50 Pittsburgh Steelers- Vladimir Ducasse OG-U-Mass

The Steelers address their pathetic offensive line.

51 Kansas City Chiefs- Patrick Robinson CB-Florida State

The Chiefs need help everywhere on the defense, and Robinson will provide some of that for them.

52 Houston Texans- Jonathan Dwyer RB-Georgia Tech

Dwyer will have to adjust to a real NFL offense and drug tests in the NFL, but he is worth a reach here.

53 Cincinnati Bengals- Aaron Hernandez TE-Florida

And Bengals fans rejoice as Hernandez falls to them in the second round of my 2010 NFL mock draft.

54 New England Patriots- Geno Atkins DT-Georgia

The Patriots could go wide receiver here, but I think they address their DT needs.

55 Green Bay Packers- Mike Johnson G- Alabama

More help for an aging Packer's offensive line.

56 Philadelphia Eagles- Jon Asamoah G-Illinois

Look for the Eagles to draft a lot of offensive linemen in this draft to see if a couple can stick as starters.

57 Baltimore Ravens- Nate Allen FS-South Florida

Allen will be on hand to learn from Ed Reed and get on the field to get some playing time as a rookie.

58 Arizona Cardinals- Ricky Sapp LB-Clemson

More help for a crappy set of linebackers in Arizona

59. Dallas Cowboys- Javier Arenas, CB-Alabama

Arenas will add some much needed speed to Cowboys return game and nickel packages.

60 San Diego Chargers-- Damian Williams WR-USC

The Chargers are a good enough team to take the chance here in the second round of my 2010 NFL mock, that Williams won't be another USC bust.

61 New York Jets- Jared Veldheer OT-Hillsdale College

Small school tackle worth taking a chance on at this point in the 2010 NFL draft for the Jets.

62 Minnesota Vikings- Morgan Burnett S-Georgia Tech

Another safety off the board, this time helping a slow Vikings secondary.

63 Indianapolis Colts- Ben Tate RB-Auburn

The Colts need a running game very badly, and Tate can help them at this point.

64 New Orleans Saints- Tyson Alualu DT-California

The defending Super Bowl Champions add another piece to the defensive line.
