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.
