Things To Watch in Tonight's NFL Draft

The 2010 NFL Draft begins tonight and continues on Friday & Saturday. Here are a few things that I'm looking forward to in this draft.

  1. The Browns have 5 of the first 92 picks in the draft. Who will Mike Holmgren & Tom Heckert go after? Will they be involved in Draft Day Trades?
  2. What will New England do with their 3 picks in the 2nd round?
  3. Will any "big name" player get traded?
  4. Who will be the 3rd Quarterback drafted?
  5. Carolina & Chicago have no first round picks, What, if anything, will they be able to do?
  6. Who will draft Tim Tebow?
  7. Who will draft Legarrette Blount?
  8. Who will draft Myron Rolle?
  9. Who will draft Stafon Johnson?

Now here are some players who are projected to be late round picks who can make big impacts with whatever team drafts them.

  1. Mike Kafka, QB, Northwestern
  2. Andre Roberts, WR, Citadel
  3. Javier Arenas, CB, Alabama
  4. Monterio Hardesty, RB, Tennessee
  5. Arthur Moats, LB, James Madison
  6. Jimmy Graham, TE, Miami
  7. Jermaine Cunningham, DE, Florida
  8. Cody Grimm (Son of former NFLer Russ Grimm), S, Virginia Tech

2010 NFL Mock Draft


This year the NFL Draft starts on Thursday night April 22nd. Here is how I see the first round playing out. Of course there are no guarantees, but that's the fun of doing these things.

  1. St. Louis: Sam Bradford, QB, Oklahoma - St. Louis has passed on other young quarterbacks in the past couple drafts and there is no way that they can pass on Bradford.
  2. Detroit: Ndamukong Suh, DT, Nebraska - Suh is possibly the best player in this draft. There is a possibility they take an Offensive Tackle like Okung or Trent Williams and move Jeff Backus to Guard.
  3. Tampa Bay: Gerald McCoy, DT, Oklahoma - Tampa Bay was a good team in the late '90s and it started with the 1995 Draft when Tampa Bay drafted a DT named Warren Sapp. Tampa hopes that McCoy can be their new Sapp.
  4. Washington: Russell Okung, OT, Oklahoma State - The Redskins no longer need a QB after trading for Donovan McNabb. So they will probably use this pick to help their Offensive Line and Okung is the best OL in this draft.
  5. Kansas City: Eric Berry, S, Tennessee - Kansas City gets a play-maker in the secondary which will make new Defensive Coordinator Romeo Crennel very happy.
  6. Seattle: Trent Williams, OT, Oklahoma - New Coach Pete Carroll has two 1st round picks and can go in many different directions. Williams will bring youth and athleticism to the O-Line.
  7. Cleveland: Earl Thomas, S/CB, Texas - The big question is "What will Holmgren do in this draft?" Thomas will fit a big need for the Browns. Others who can go right here include: Jimmy Clausen, C.J. Spiller, Joe Haden, Dan Williams or Dez Bryant.
  8. Oakland: Bruce Campbell, OT, Maryland - Oakland has a tendency to reach on early picks and Campbell is definitely a reach at #8.
  9. Buffalo: Jimmy Clausen, QB, Notre Dame - The Bills may take an Offensive Tackle with this pick but they need a new "face of the franchise". Also Clausen, who went to Notre Dame, played in a Pro-Style Offense.
  10. Jacksonville: Jason Pierre-Paul, DE, South Florida - Teamed up with newly acquired Aaron Kampman will definitely help Jacksonville's pass rush.
  11. Denver: Derrick Morgan, DE, Georgia Tech - Denver may go after some Offensive fire-power, especially after trading away Brandon Marshall and Tony Scheffler but Morgan will help Denver's defense which had problems holding onto leads late in the season.
  12. Miami: Sergio Kindle, DE/OLB, Texas - Kindle will step in for Joey Porter (who left for Arizona) and Jason Taylor (Free Agent) as a pass-rushing OLB in Miami's 3-4 Defense.
  13. San Francisco: C.J. Spiller, RB, Clemson - SF has 2 1st round picks and will use their first one to get a play-maker. Spiller can run, catch and be a return man.
  14. Seattle: Everson Griffen, DE, USC - Griffen can step in for Patrick Kerney who retired earlier this month. Also Coach Carroll is familiar with Griffen's style of play.
  15. New York Giants: Rolando McClain, ILB, Alabama - The Giants will be ecstatic to pick up McClain with the 15th pick.
  16. Tennessee: Dan Williams, DT, Tennessee - The Titans need help on the D-Line and they'll go after a in-state talent.
  17. San Francisco: Joe Haden, CB, Florida - Nate Clements is getting older and Joe Haden would be a great replacement once he's gone.
  18. Pittsburgh: Mike Iupati, G, Idaho - Pittsburgh needs some bulk in the interior and Iupati can be an instant starter.
  19. Atlanta: Brandon Graham, DE, Michigan - Atlanta needs a pass-rusher and Graham had a good college career and did great at the Senior Bowl.
  20. Houston: Anthony Davis, OT, Rutgers - Houston has gotten to that point where they can draft the best player available instead of filling a specific need. What the Texans really need is for the players that they already have to take the next step.
  21. Cincinnati: Jermaine Gresham, TE, Oklahoma - Gresham will supply the Bengals with a play-making TE.
  22. New England: Kyle Wilson, CB, Boise State - With the Dolphins getting Brandon Marshall and the Jets getting Santonio Holmes the Patriots will need some extra help in their secondary.
  23. Green Bay: Brian Bulaga, OT, Iowa - Chad Clifton and Mark Tauscher are well into their 30's and the rest of the players at that position are weak.
  24. Philadelphia: Taylor Mays, S, USC - After losing Brian Dawkins before last season the Eagles need to get a safety and Mays will be their guy.
  25. Baltimore: Devin McCourty, CB, Rutgers - Cornerback is a big need position for the Ravens and McCourty can make a big impact.
  26. Arizona: Jerry Hughes, OLB, TCU - Arizona's Defense needs a big face-lift. Hughes will help that cause.
  27. Dallas: Dez Bryant, WR, Oklahoma State - Bryant is a flashy wide-receiver who can help the Cowboys make it back to the Super Bowl.
  28. San Diego: Ryan Mathews, RB, Fresno State - Darren Sproles can't carry the work-load by himself, and Mathews has great vision.
  29. New York Jets: Terrence Cody, DT, Alabama - Cody is a proto-typical NT in a 3-4 Defense and Kris Jenkins has had some injury issues.
  30. Minnesota: Maurkice Pouncey, C, Florida - Pouncey will bring much needed youth to the Viking's O-Line.
  31. Indianapolis: Jared Odrick, DT, Penn State - The Colts need an big defensive lineman to help Freeny and Mathis get to the QB.
  32. New Orleans: Sean Weatherspoon, OLB, Missouri - Scott Fujita left to go to the Browns so Weatherspoon can fill in right away.
