2010 NFL Mock Draft


The Scouting Combine has come and gone and we got to get a close up look at some of the best players that college football has to offer. We are now getting into Pro Days and free agency and we are seeing NFL teams start to fill their needs and make other needs much more obvious. So now trying to predict which teams will select which player becomes much easier.

Here is a look at the post combine mock draft for the middle of March:

1. St. Louis Rams-Jimmy Clausen-QB-Notre Dame-(JR)-Sure, Ndamukong Suh would be hard to pass up but the Rams need a quarterback over anything else.

2. Detroit Lions-Ndamukong Suh-DT-Nebraska-Head coach Jim Schwartz won’t be able to pass up this kind of talent.

3. Tampa Bay Buccaneers-Gerald McCoy-DT-Alabama-The Bucs need the help at the defensive tackle position and if they miss out on Suh Cody is the next best option.

4. Washington Redskins-Sam Bradford-QB-Oklahoma-(JR) Sure Bradford missed most of the 2009 season but the Redskins will be in the market for a quarterback and Bradford would be their guy.

5. Kansas City Chiefs-Russell Okung-OT-Oklahoma State-The Chiefs could quite possibly go for Eric Berry but if Okung is still here and he should be then they should go for him and beef up their offensive line.

6. Seattle Seahawks-Colt McCoy-QB-Texas-Yes, even though many people think that he isn’t worth a first round pick, McCoy is the real deal and could end up being the best quarterback taken in this draft.

7. Cleveland Browns-Dez Bryant-WR-Oklahoma State-(JR) Cleveland needs a lot of help in several places but getting a great wide receiver would really go a long ways.

8. Oakland Raiders-Anthony Davis-OT-Rutgers-(JR)-It’s hard to predict was owner Al Davis will do but he needs a guy that can help block and help pass protect so Davis would be a good guy for them to take.

9. Buffalo Bills-Bruce Campbell-OT-Maryland-The Bills need to add some help at the offensive tackle position and Campbell could be key piece to their offensive line for several seasons to come.

10. Jacksonville Jaguars-Joe Haden-CB-Florida-(JR)-While problems on the defensive line may dictate that they take a defensive linemen but getting some help defending against the pass in the secondary would be great as well.

11. Denver Broncos (from Chicago)-Rolando McClain-ILB-Alabama-(JR)-The Broncos definitely need some help at the linebacker and McClain is the best in the draft. It’s an ideal fit.

12. Miami Dolphins-Derrick Morgan-DE-Georgia Tech-Joey Porter’s replacement is right next door in Georgia as Morgan could come in and be the pass rusher that they will lose with Porter leaving town.

13. San Francisco 49ers-Jason Pierre-Paul-DE-South Florida-(JR)-The 49ers will covet someone who can rush the passer and Paul could fill the bill.

14. Seattle Seahawks (from Denver)-Bryan Bulaga-OT-Iowa-(JR)-Bulaga would be a huge asset to the Seahawks and their pass protection and rushing needs.

15. New York Giants-Brian Price-DT-UCLA-(JR)-The Giants had issues on their defensive line and need an upgrade there.

16. Tennessee Titans-Dan Williams-DT-Tennessee-The Titans haven’t been the same without Albert Haynesworth so getting a good defensive tackle would help them out a lot.

17. San Francisco 49ers (from Carolina)-Trent Williams-OT-Oklahoma-The 49ers will need to shore up their offensive line a little bit and Williams would be an ideal fit for them.

18. Pittsburgh Steelers-Terrence Cody-NT-Alabama-With a guy as big as Cody is the Steelers defensive line will be set and could end up being one of the best in the NFL in 2010 and beyond.

19. Atlanta Falcons-C.J. Spiller-RB-Clemson-The Falcons may want to start thinking about the future of their running game, especially after the injury problems that Michael Turner suffered last season and Spiller, if he is still there, would be ideal.

20. Houston Texans-Earl Thomas-FS-Texas-(Soph)-The Texan’s defense needs to get a good safety to help make it work and Thomas would be a good fit for them.

21. Cincinnati Bengals-Eric Berry-S-Tennessee-(JR)-The Bengals could try for a wide receiver here but for the value, and if he is available, they should take Berry and help improve their defense.

22. New England Patriots-Jerry Hughes-OLB-TCU-The Patriots will want to add some pass rushing help to their defense and Hughes would be the right guy for them.

23. Green Bay Packers-Charles Brown-OT-USC-The Packers need some help on the offensive line and taking Brown would help them improve their pass protection which is what they desperately need.

24. Philadelphia Eagles-Taylor Mays-S-USC-Mays could be the next Brian Dawkins as they really need someone in the secondary to step up and make plays. Mays could be the guy that does that for them.

25. Baltimore Ravens-Jermaine Gresham-TE-Oklahoma-After giving quarterback Joe Flacco Anquan Boldin, the Ravens should look at getting a solid pass catching tight end to give Flacco someone else to throw to.

26. Arizona Cardinals-Mike Iupati-OG-Idaho-The Cardinals may look at few different positions with their first round pick but solidifying their offensive line should be a priority and they could get Iupati who is the best guard in this year’s draft.

27. Dallas Cowboys-Bruce Campbell-OT-Maryland-(JR)-Dallas could use the help on the offensive line and can get it with Campbell who may not be here when they pick but if he is he could be a fine addition for them.

28. San Diego Chargers-Everson Griffen-DE-USC-(JR)-Perhaps a good running back would be a good idea here but the Chargers also need to get some help with their pass rush and Griffen could be the kind of guy that they are looking for.

29. New York Jets-Sergio Kindle-DE/OLB-Texas-The Jets need someone to help rush the passer and Kindle, one of the better pass rushers in the 2010 NFL Draft, could really help them out.

30. Minnesota Vikings-Patrick Robinson-CB-Florida State-Minnesota’s issues in the secondary are well known so if they think that Robinson would be worth the pick they should take him and have him help them improve their secondary.

31. Indianapolis Colts-Brandon Graham-OLB/DE-Michigan-As we saw last season, the Colts pass rush was nonexistent when Dwight Freeney was injured so having someone come in and be the pass rush specialist on the other side would be a great idea for the Colts.

32. New Orleans Saints-Sean Weatherspoon-LB-Missouri-The loss of Scott Fujita will force the Saints to look for an outside linebacker and Weatherspoon is the kind of guy that most any team would like to have.
