one more first round mock draft

[shower beers]

Had to squeeze this in before Thursday. Some of the picks may be head scratchers, but hey, what's the fun in just re-writing an existing one??


01) Rams -- Sam Bradford
02) Lions -- Ndomukung Suh
03) Bucs -- Gerald McCoy
04) Redskins -- Trent Williams (looks to be a better zone blocker)
05) Chiefs -- Russell Okung
06) Seahawks -- C.J. Spiller (they might feel they have a better chance of landing an OT with their second pick, than with Spiller falling to said pick)
07) Browns -- Eric Berry
08) Raiders -- Bruce Campbell (workout warrior, Raider written all over him)
09) Bills -- Brian Bulaga
10) Jaguars -- Derrick Morgan
11) Broncos -- Dez Bryant (with Marshall gone, they need someone to step up)
12) Dolphins -- Dan Williams
13) ***** -- Joe Haden
14) Seahawks -- Anthony Davis
15) Giants -- Rolando McClain
16) Titans -- Jason Pierre Paul
17) ***** -- Jimmy Clausen
18) Steelers -- Maurkice Pouncey
19) Falcons -- Brandon Graham
20) Texans -- Kyle Wilson (physical corner that they need right now)
21) Bengals -- Earl Thomas
22) Patriots -- Jermaine Greshem
23) Packers -- Sergio Kindle
24) Eagles -- Kareem Jackson (physical corner who can tackle)
25) Ravens -- Jared Odrick
26) Cardinals -- Sean Weatherspoon (next best non-pass rush LB available)
27) Cowboys -- Mike Iupati (big, tough lineman that Jones likes)
28) Chargers -- Ryan Mathews
29) Jets -- Jerry Hughes (Jets are looking to draft in the front 7 on Defense)
30) Vikings -- Devin McCourty
31) Colts -- Charles Brown (has been rising up draft boards as of late, and could make a push)
32) Saints -- Daryl Washington (need to replace departures at position)

Well if your mock comes true!
Rams take DT Brian Price in the 2nd round.
I don't think he will be there.

Nice mock, Beers. A couple of things:

-Good job with the Seahawks at #6. That's the right pick IMO.

-IMO, Okung/Bulaga/Williams/Campbell/Pouncey/Iupati/Brown. I don't see Brown being selected that high by anybody other than the *****, who really need the OL help, so I can't really argue other than to say I think Iupati and Pouncey should be selected much higher come draft day.

-Sergio Kindle is NOT a coverage LB. He's a pass rush specialist.

-GREAT Cardinals pick. Well done.

-Ditto for the Chargers.

-I don't think the Jets take a backup pass rushing LB in the first round. At this point, I think they'll give Gholston one more go and look at a five technique like Alualu.

-Davis to the Colts is a nice fit if he falls that far. For the record, I don't think he will.

-32 is a little high for Washington IMO, but it's still conceivable. I'd have gone with Dunlap there.

-WHO DO THE RAMS PICK AT #33??

Oh my. Price's value has plummeted of late. He's considered a possible third round pick by many including myself. I think I projected him higher in my last mock draft, but I've watched some film and flip-flopped.

Thanks for the feedback! I can't believe I wrote in Kindle as a coverage LB. I guess I was thinking of something/someone else...I'm not sure what

As far as Charles Brown, I admit I have him a bit high. I could probably theoretically switch he and Anthony Davis around. Perhaps I may do such a thing.

As far as Hughes to the Jets...their team is just so solid. They addressed some needs even with their top-8(?) handicap. It's tough to project a team with no glaring needs.

I'll probably make a few last minute changes coming up soon!

Cool, I'll look forward to it

Enjoy the +Rep!

Nice work! I could see a team like the Bengals moving up to make a play for Berry. Eagles possibly too, but I'd bet they'd be stoked to have Jackson at 24 while still holding multiple seconds thirds, and fourths

Updates made. I just switched around the last two OTs selected, (Davis and Brown). I admit that I want to put Pouncey higher than 30, but I just can't seem to place him anywhere.

The team that I had in mind is Pittsburgh, who could probably stand to upgrade at corner, wide receiver and offensive line with this pick. I have to think they go for the line and receiver in rounds two and three.

I'm not sold on Kindle going to Green Bay either. He looks like a good fit, but will Green Bay really use another first round pick on a LB? We'll find out soon enough I guess!

If Pouncey goes to the Steelers you could project Wilson to the Packers.

Kindle is also a possibility at 21 to Cincinnati or even better, to New England at 22.

Looks pretty good to me!

alright, final final edits are up. hoping for the best, anticipating trades that will wreck everything.
