Mock Draft 4.0

Round 1

1.    Carolina (2-14): Nick Fairley  DT  Auburn..perfect anchor for the new regime to build a top defense around.  Fairley has a nasty streak that the Coach Rivera will love.

2.    Denver (4-12): Da’Quan Bowers  DE  Clemson..As the defense gets a new facelift Coach Fox gets to add his Julius Peppers to the new look Broncos.  Some say Peterson here but this scheme is based so much on bringing pressure to the QB.

3.    Buffalo (4-12):  Marcell Dareus  DL Alabama…..Great addition as Dareus is disruptive to an offense regardless where you line him up.  Significant upgrade for the hard playing Buffalo Bills.

4.    Cincinnati (4-12): A.J. Green  WR  Georgia…Need some new targets that perform more than they talk and A.J. is the top wideout in this class and instant starter.

5.    Arizona (5-11):  Blaine Gabbert  QB   Missouri…..Need help in the worse way so they grab the best prospect in this class and hope the learning curve is short.

6.    Cleveland (5-11):   Robert Quinn  DE   North Carolina…Could also use a WR but upgrading the talent across the board on the defensive side is more pressing.

7.    San Francisco (6-10):  Patrick Peterson  CB  LSU….Unlikely to last this long but a special talent like Peterson immediately helps the 49’ers on defense and gives them a great special teams player too.

8.    Tennessee (6-10):  Prince Amukamara  CB  Nebraska…Could go Cam Newton but the Titans are too smart to reach for a player this high.  Prince gives them a chance to have a true shut down corner as the defense takes on a new look with the departure of Chuck Cecil.

9.    Dallas (6-10):  Adrian Clayborn   DE  Iowa…..When your defense gives up the most points in franchise history you need a facelift and the fact they’ve got next to nothing from their ends they must add an experience leader for their line.

10.  Washington (6-10): Julio Jones  WR  Alabama….Everyone has this the new home of Cam Newton because he’s a lot more McNabb than Russell.  Hello is that what they want another McNabb.  I say grab a wide receiver of Jones elite status, sign a vet QB and draft a prospect in later rounds say Pat Devlin or Andy Dalton.
