NFL Mock Draft-Version 1.0

AUTHOR: | IN: NFL | COMMENTS: 5 Comments |

Joining us from Flaccocinco as our draft specialist here on EbonyBird.com, Tripp posts his latest mock draft.  More mocks will be coming after the NFL Combine.

Pick Team Selection Position School Analysis
1. rams Ndamukong Suh Defensive Tackle Nebraska

A defensive tackle has not been selected with the first pick in 16 years. Suh will end that streak this April.

2. lions Gerald

McCoy

Defensive Tackle Oklahoma

Not the type of tackle that the Lions typically covet, but with the state of their defensive line they can’t really afford to be picky here.

3. buccaneers Eric

Berry

Safety Tennessee Probably projects best as a free safety but has played in the box as well. Brings added value with his ability to play corner.

Be4. redskins Russell Okung
Offensive  Tackle Oklahoma  State

Mike Shanahan is implementing the zone blocking system in Washington next season. Okung’s athleticism makes him a perfect candidate. Rumor has it that Shanahan is more interested in Colt McCoy or Tony Pike in round two than he is Bradford in round one.

5. cheifs Anthony Davis Offensive Tackle Rutgers

Could end up surpassing Russell Okung as the year’s premiere tackle. This move would allow Branden Albert to move back to his natural position of left guard, and strengthen a poor offensive line.

6. seahawks Joe Haden Cornerback Florida

Sam Bradford is still pretty risky here, and with the top two tackles off the board Seattle could look to go defense again this year. Haden would be an instant starter and upgrade to the secondary.

7. browns Jason Pierre-Paul
Outside Linebacker South Florida

JPP projects well as a rush linebacker in a 3-4 defense which is a huge need in Cleveland this off-season.

8. raiders Bruce Campbell Offensive Tackle Maryland

There are better tackles available here, but Campbell’s work out numbers should catch the eye of Al Davis.

9. bills Bryan Bulaga
Offensive Tackle Iowa

Left tackle is by far the biggest issue in Buffalo right now, however there are many. Quarterback and 3-4 personnel are options here as well.

10.
(T)
jaguars Dez Bryant Wide Receiver Oklahoma State

Jacksonville is in danger of losing their football team. The best way to put fans in the stands is an explosive offense. Dez Bryant should team up with MJD, MSW, and pro-bowl QB David Garrard to spark the offense.

10.
(T)
broncos Rolando McClain Alabama Alabama

They need a nose tackle but Dan Williams would be a bit of a reach here. McClain would really solidify an already solid linebacking core and is familiar with the 3-4.

12. dolphins Sergio Kindle Outside Linebacker Texas After cutting Joey Porter and with Jason Taylor age and most recent injury, its tough to see Parcells going any other way here.
13. 49ers Trent Williams Offensive Tackle Oklahoma Best suited to play right tackle which happens to be one of San Francisco’s biggest needs. Should team up with Joe Staley as two very solid book end tackles.
14. seahawks Sam Bradford
Quarterback Oklahoma
Who knows what Pete Carroll will do with Matt Hasselbeck next season. Either way he’ll probably want to bring in his own guy.
15. giants Earl Thomas Safety Texas

A top ten talent, his lack of ideal size could drop him a few picks. The Giants would be getting a steal here if that happens, and fill a huge need.

16.
(T)
titans Derrick Morgan Defensive End
Georgia Tech

Another Top 10 talent that could fall due to a very solid defensive class and limited scheme ability.

Awesome website and everybody should should totally agree with the writer with this post here. Its interesting, that is what i can write about this post. Because this def is what the whole thing is all about am i right? Keep it up!

/\ Actually this year that is a VERY strong possibility. Bradford would be a top 10 lock if it weren't for his injury concerns. Clausen comes with immaturity and character concerns, plus he has already pretty much peaked. Not much upside with him. Factor in that this could be the most talented defensive class in 20 years, and a deep offensive tackle pool and demand for the position, and it wouldn't be shocking to see Clausen fall into round 2. Thanks for reading.

No way that the top two QB (both of whom are legit #1 picks) in the draft fall to 14 and 30 whether you mock trades or not. Even with no trades modeled you have the Rams, Seahawks, and Bills who need a QB. The Skins, Browns and SF are likely take one if they both fell in their lap. The cobwebs in Al Davis' head might even clear up if he saw them available. That's all before 14. After that at least half a dozen teams would take Clausen purely on value before he fell to MN.

/\ Haven't heard that yet. Thanks for the head's up, Trent Williams would not be ideal for the ZBS so that could really effect that pick.

If Singletary comes out of the 1st rd with Spiller and Trent Williams, he'll be one happy camper. I just learned that USC's Charles Brown excels at zone blocking, which new OL Coach Solari is implementing this off-season. That could become a factor as he recommends OT's to Singletary.
