Immortal's 2011 Mock Draft (Four Rounds)

[TheImmortalGoud]

Round One

1. Cam Newton, Quarterback, Auburn
While I wouldn't do this, Carolina will. Carolina needs to get something going with this franchise, and Newton is the main attraction in this draft class.

2. Marcell Dareus, Defensive Tackle, Alabama
With the recent releases of Justin Bannan and Jamal Williams, the Denver Broncos have made it clear they will be taking a DT with this pick. The question is whether they take Marcell Dareus or Nick Fairley. Dareus is the more consistent player, and has less character concerns about him. You gotta be sure when you're picking this high, and Fairley has too many questions.

3. Blaine Gabbert, Quarterback, Missouri
I've finally come around to Gabbert going higher. This is a team that is missing an identity and they need to find that guy. Gabbert will sit a year behind Ryan Fitzpatrick, and will then take over to be the guy for this organization.

4. AJ Green, Wide Receiver, Georgia
With T.O. likely to be moving on and Chad Johnson potentially being traded, the Bengals need to get that number one receiver for the next ten years. A.J. Green is the best receiver prospect since Calvin Johnson. Green will be the impact player on offense the Bengals are looking for.

5. Von Miller, Rush Linebacker, Texas A&M
Ever since Calvin Pace went to the Jets back in 2008, the rush linebacker position has been a dire need for the Cardinals. Von Miller is the top rush linebacker in this draft, and will come in and make an impact immediately. The Cardinals get the guy they targeted all along.

6. Julio Jones, Wide Receiver, Alabama
With Da'Quan Bowers' knee issues and character concerns surrounding Nick Fairley, the Browns go for a wide receiver. The Browns have absolutely nothing at wide receiver, so while this pick may be a reach, it makes a lot of sense. Tyron Smith could be a surprise pick here.

7. Patrick Peterson, Cornerback, LSU
San Francisco gets a steal here with the top prospect in the draft falling to them. Patrick Peterson has the potential to be a shutdown corner in this league, and we have all seen the impact Nnamdi and Revis have had on this league. He's the top player on the board and also the player with the fewest questions. It also doesn't hurt that he is the top returner in the draft.

8. Nick Fairley, Defensive Tackle, Auburn
With the top two quarterbacks gone, the Titans move their attention to the defensive line. I think defensive end is a bigger need, but Fairley is the best player available. With Nick Fairley and Jason Jones in the middle, the Titans will have one of the top interior pass rushing duo in the league. One other note, Tennessee's new defensive line coach, Tracy Rocker, coached Fairley at Auburn.

9. Tyron Smith, OT, USC
Word is Dallas likes Tyron Smith a lot. Marc Colombo is a bum. Tyron Smith is the most talented tackle in this draft. Dallas needs to get younger and better on the offensive line.

10. Robert Quinn, Rush Linebacker, North Carolina
They're isn't a quarterback or wide receiver worth taking here, so the Redskins need to take the best available player. Robert Quinn is one of the most talented players in this draft, and also fills a need. If the draft played out like this, the Redskins would look to move this pick.

11. Aldon Smith, Rush Linebacker, Missouri
With the transition to a 3-4, the Texans need that premier pass rusher to come off the edge. I'm not that high on Aldon Smith, but he is the best available player at his position.

12. Da'Quan Bowers, Defensive End, Clemson
Bowers will fall in the draft due to his knee issues, but not into the 20's like some people think. Minnesota needs to add another defensive end with Ray Edwards set to leave. Minnesota may look to trade back into the twenties to take a quarterback and collect more picks.

13. Prince Amukamara, Cornerback, Nebraska
The Lions need two things badly, a Cornerback and an Offensive Tackle. The Lions fall into a dream scenario with Amukamara falling to thirteen.

14. Corey Liuget, Defensive Tackle, Illinois
With Cliff Ryan becoming a free agent and Fred Robbins turning 34, the Rams need to find someone to help build that defense. With Chris Long emerging last season, Liuget will come in and only make the D-line better.

15. Mike Pouncey, Offensive Guard, Florida
I;m finally off the Mark Ingram bandwagon (as just about everyone else is). I think the Dolphins will trade back in the draft, but either way Pouncey would be the pick. The interior line is arguably the Dolphins biggest need, and they get the top interior lineman in the draft.

16. Cameron Jordan, Defensive End, California
The Jaguars need to solve their End problem, and Jordan is the guy to do it. A top 10 player on my big board and seems to be rising on many other boards. Jacksonville gets tremendous value and takes care of one of there top needs with this pick.

17. Muhammad Wilkerson, Defensive End, Temple
The Patriots are looking for another defensive end, and Wilkerson is the perfect fit. With Mike Wright and Ty Warren both coming off injuries, Wilkerson will be an immediate starter. The Patriots will probably trade this pick though.

18. J.J. Watt, Defensive End, Wisconsin
The Chargers need to upgrade at LE with Jacques Cesaire set to become a free agent (and not being that good in the first place). Watt is the best available 3-4 end.

19. Anthony Castonzo, Offensive Tackle, Boston College
With the Giants O-line up there in age and very injury prone they need to start rebuilding the offensive line. Castonzo might not start right away, but he will be the LT for the future.

20. Justin Houston, Defensive End, Georgia
The Bucs had a horrific pass rush last year and DE is the number one priority. This pick could be a number of defensive ends here, but I think it'll be Justin Houston.

21. Phil Taylor, Nose Tackle, Baylor
The Chiefs haven't had a legitimate nose tackle since they made the transition to a 3-4. Phil Taylor is the top pure nose tackle in this draft and will come in and start right away. There are some character and weight concerns with Taylor, but I think he has that under control.

22. Gabe Camiri, Offensive Tackle, Wisconsin
The Colts need some help on the offensive line. Camiri offers a tackle who is very good in pass protection, which we know is important to the Colts. Solder is the more talented player, but the Colts need someone who they are sure on.

23. Jimmy Smith, Cornerback, Colorado
The Eagles tried many options at RCB last year and none of them played well. Jimmy Smith will come in and start from day one bringing some stability to the position. The Eagles won't care about his character concerns.

24. Ryan Kerrigan, Defensive End, Purdue
I've had Akeem Ayers here my last couple of mock drafts, but pass rushers are a more important commodity than an OLB. Kerrigan is the top defensive end available in this spot.

25. Andy Dalton, Quarterback, TCU
The Seahawks draft for the future here and get the quarterback they want. Dalton can sit for a year behind Matt Hasselback (assuming he is resigned), and become the new franchise quarterback.

26. Cameron Heyward, Defensive End, Ohio State
I had the Ravens taking Heyward in the second rounf of my last mock, but reports are the Ravens aren't gonna pass on Heyward at 26 if he's available. Heyward would add much needed depth along the Baltimore defensive line. Baltimore will always look to entertain trades at this spot as well.

27. Brooks Reed, Defensive End, Arizona
Atlanta could go WR, DE, or OL at this pick. The most dire need of those three would be a DE. Abraham is getting old and Atlanta didn't really have a pass rush anywhere else last year. Brooks Reed will make an impact on the D-line right away.

28. Mark Ingram, Running Back, Alabama
Mark Ingram is gonna go somewhere in the first, and this is the last viable option for that. New England will address running back some point during this draft, and they get the best running back in the draft at 28.

29. Nate Solder, Offensive Tackle, Colorado
The Bears could improve almost anywhere along that abysmal offensive line. Nate Solder is one of the most talented players in this draft class, but he is very raw. Nonetheless, he makes this O-line much better than it was before.

30. Akeem Ayers, Rush Linebacker, UCLA
The Jets struggled last year getting to the QB and need some help in that area. Akeem Ayers is the top player available at the position. Ayers' wasn't used that much as a pure pass rusher at UCLA, but many believe that his his best attribute.

31. Aaron Williams, Cornerback/Safety, Texas
The Steelers need a CB more than anything, and that showed in the Superbowl. Aaron Williams is one of the top players available for what the Steelers need. Aaron Williams might not work out at corner, but he could always move to free safety.

32. Derek Sherrod, Offensive Tackle, Mississippi State
Green Bay goes with the best available player and takes Derek Sherrod at 32. Derek Sherrod is the 15th ranked player on my big board, so this is one of the bigger steals of the draft. Sherrod might not start right away with Chad Clifton still playing good, but he'll be starting as soon as he's gone.

 

[TheImmortalGoud]

Round Two

33. Leonard Hankerson, Wide Receiver, Miami (FL)
Ever since the Senior Bowl, Hankerson has just kept rising up draft boards. He proved well at the combine as well. After New England traded away Randy Moss they never had that big play guy, and it showed in the playoffs. Hankerson will bring that aspect back to the team and make an immediate impact.

34. Kyle Rudolph, Tight End, Notre Dame
Buffalo hasn't had a tight end in ages. Kyle Rudolph is the top tight end in this pathetic class. Blain Gabbert is gonna want as many weapons as possible.

35. Christian Ponder, Quarterback, Florida State
The Bengals organization is finally coming to the realization that Carson Palmer isn't gonna be back, and that they need a new signal caller. The Bengals are going to a West Coast offense, and Ponder is the perfect fit fot the scheme.

36. Marvin Austin, Defensive Tackle, North Carolina
Even after taking Marcell Dareus in the first round, the Broncos still need help inside. Marvin Austin has had a great draft season after missing the entire 2010 season, and has pushed himself back up into first round consideration/

37. Adrian Clayborn, Defensive End, Iowa
After wide receiver, defensive end is the biggest need for Cleveland. Coming into the season, Clayborn was a top ten prospect, but didn't put up the numbers this year and thus his stock dropping. His Erb's Palsy is also a concern. If he plays like he did in 2009 then this is gonna be an absolute steal for Cleveland.

38. Ben Ijalana, Offensive Tackle/Guard, Villanova
This Cardinals offensive line is a joke. Wherever Ijalana plays on the line, he'll make this offensive line tremendously better.

39. Ryan Mallett, Quarterback, Arkansas
The Titans biggest need is quarterback, and Ryan Mallett is the guy they want. Mallett has the best arm in this class, but is also one of the biggest character concerns in a while. Luckily for him, Tennessee will ignore them.

40. Rahim Moore, Safety, UCLA
Alan Ball was terrible last year, and was one of the reason the secondary was bad. Rahim Moore is the top safety in the draft, and will help improve this secondary. If a CBA gets done before the draft and the Cowboys bring in Michael Huff then the pick would either be a corner or an end.

41. Jake Locker, Quarterback, Washington
While I think Jake Locker is terrible; Mike Shanahan doesn't. There were reports last year that the Redskins might of took Locker with the 4th pick overall last year if he came out. He still needs to sit a year or two before he even has a chance of being anything in this league. The Redskins desperately need a QB and get a guy they really like.

42. Brandon Harris, Cornerback, Miami (FL)
The Texans need secondary help more than any team. With Rahim Moore off the board, the Texans need to take the best available player in the secondary. Drafting Harris would allow Glover Quin to move to free safety.

43. Colin Kaepernick, Quarterback, Nevada
The last of the quarterbacks worth taking in the first round. The Vikings are heading into the season with Joe Webb and Rhett Bomar at quarterback. They need an upgrade. Kaepernick needs a year to sit behind Joe Webb (or another veteran quarterback) before he's ready. I ultimately think that the Vikings will either trade back in the first, or trade up from here to take Jake Locker or Christian Ponder.

44. Rodney Hudson, Offensive Guard, Florida State
After taking a corner in the first, the Lions address a second need. Hudson is very strong and pretty quick for his size, he was a huge reason on the Seminoles getting back to the ACC Championship. He is a very intelligent player and also very good at pass protection.

45. Christian Ballard, Defensive End, Iowa
With no more quarterbacks worth taking, San Francisco takes the best player available. That being, Christian Ballard. He could can be the immediate starter at LE.

46. Mikel Leshoure, Running Back, Illinois
With John Fox taking over, Denver is gonna need another running back. Leshoure and Moreno should provide a good 1-2 punch.

47. Jonathan Baldwin, Wide Receiver, Pittsburgh
St. Louis has some nice receivers, but nothing special. Let's see what Sam Bradford can do now that he has a legitimate weapon outside.

48. Stefen Wisniewski, Center/Guard, Penn State
The Raiders need help at center and guard. Wisniewski can play both, though better at Center. He is very smart and has great instincts, great handwork, and very good footwork. His uncle Steve was also just hired to be the Raiders O-Line coach.

49. Quinton Carter, Safety, Oklahoma
Arguably the Jags top position of need is safety. Quinton Carter is a good all around safety who can do everything you ask him to. He'll be the starter and give some solidarity to the back end of the defense.

50. Torrey Smith, Wide Receiver, Maryland
With Malcolm Floyd and Legadu Naanee becoming free agents, the Chargers are gonna need another receiver. Smith is a raw talent, but has the most potential of the remaining receivers available.

51. Jabaal Sheard, Defensive End, Pittsburgh
Tampa double dipped last year at defensive tackle, and they're gonna need to do that at defensive end this year. Tampa was terrible at the defensive end position this season, and they could use all the help they can get.

52. Mason Foster, Outside Linebacker, Washington
Keith Bulluck will be a free agent and Clint Sintim is marginal at best. Foster is a great tackler and very smart player. He'll compete with Sintim for the SLB job, and will more than likely win it.

53. Drake Nevis, Defensive Tackle, LSU
After offensive line, the defensive tackle position is the next biggest need. Nevis is a very quick player and surprisingly strong considering his size. The Colts like smaller defensive tackle. Seems like a perfect fit.

54. Orlando Franklin, Offensive Tackle/Guard, Miami (FL)
The offensive line was one of the weaknesses this season for the Eagles. Orlando Franklin is an athletic lineman who would fit well in the Eagles system. He has experience at both guard and tackle, but will likely be the right guard.

55. Randall Cobb, Wide Receiver, Kentucky
Dwayne Bowe was the only good receiver last year for Kansas City. They need all the help they can get at receiver. Cobb has great versatility and athleticism. You can use him everywhere to make a play. He is a very good route runner, works the seam well, and is also a great returner.

56. Stephen Paea, Defensive Tackle, Oregon State
They need both a End and a Tackle, but they have needed a Tackle a long side Ellis for awhile now. Paea would be a great pick here for the Saints. He is very powerful, nice speed, good quickness, and is great at causing havoc in the backfield.

57. Davon House, Cornerback, New Mexico State
If offensive line isn't the biggest need then it's corner. Marcus Trufant and Kelly Jennings were garbage last year. The Seahawks like big corners and Davon House is just that at 6'1" and 200lbs.

58. James Carpenter, Offensive Tackle/Guard, Alabama
Jared Gaither is a free agent, and will likely not be back. With the Ozzie Newsome Alabama connection, this would make since. Carpenter would play either RG or RT, depending on what the Ravens do with Marshall Yanda.

59. Jerrel Jernigan, Wide Receiver, Troy
Atlanta needs to add another receiver. Specifically, a speed/slot kind of receiver. They get that here.

60. Chris Carter, Rush Linebacker, Fresno State
The Patriots didn't have much of a pass rush last season. Chris Carter has been one of the fastest rising players after an impressive combine. The Pat Hill-Bill Belichick connection also makes it seem likely this would be the pick. Considering who they have on the roster, Carter will more than likely be a starter.

61. Martez Wilson, Inside Linebacker, Illinois
Kevin Burnett, Stephen Cooper, and Brandon Siler all free agents. The Chargers need to reassure themselves with an inside linebacker. Martez Wilson is one of the most talented players in the draft, but very raw. He needs a year before he'll be making any noise.

62. Jurrell Casey, Defensive Tackle, USC
With the release of Tommie Harris and Anthony Adams becoming a free agent, the Bears need some help inside. Jurrell Casey is one of the top players available at the position. If he lives up to the preseason expectations then this could be a really good pick.

63. Danny Watkins, Offensive Guard, Baylor
Danny Watkins has first round talent, but because of his age he falls to the bottom of the second. The Steelers aren't looking for someone to develop, they're looking for immediate help along the offensive line. Danny Watkins provides just that.

64. Ras-I Dowling, Cornerback, Virginia
Corner isn't a need right now, but it will be when Charles Woodson is gone. Dowling has first round talent, and some people even think he has a shot to go in the late first. Dowling is one of the top players available, and Green Bay can afford to use a pick on a talent like Dowling.

 

[TheImmortalGoud]

Round Three

65. Jarvis Jenkins, Defensive Tackle, Clemson
The panthers have nothing in the interior defensive line. Jarvis Jenkins is the top player available at defensive tackle.

66. Ryan Williams, Running Back, Virginia Tech
Cedric Benson is a free agent, and will likely not be resigned. Bernard Scott is a good change of pace back, but not an every down runner. Ryan Williams has first round talent, so this is a great need and value pick for the Bengals.

67. Bruce Carter, Outside Linebacker, North Carolina
With Denver going to a 4-3 they're gonna need 4-3 personnel. Carter has a high football IQ, very instinctive player. He is very quick, very good tackler, and solid in coverage. Denver gets great value here in the third round.

68. Marcus Cannon, Offensive Tackle/Guard, TCU
Buffalo hasn't had an offensive line for a few years now. They're heading into next season with Erik Pears at RT. That's not good. Cannon can come in and play RT or RG, with Eric Wood moving to center. Another great talent falling to the third round.

69. Curtis Brown, Cornerback, Texas
The Cardinals get great value and fill a need here. Last year Arizona couldn't get consistent play out of any of the number two corners whether it be Greg Toler or Trumaine McBride. Brown can come in and start right away across from DRC. Adding Von Miller in the first and now Brown here will make the pass defense much better.

70. Will Rackley, Offensive Guard, Lehigh
Floyd Womack is a free agent, and Cleveland could use an upgrade anyways.

71. Allen Bailey, Defensive End, Miami (FL)
Marcus Spears and Stephen Bowen are free agents. Dallas could use someone to replace them. Allen Bailey is a very raw talent, but with coaching and hard work he could become a good player.

72. Quan Sturdivant, Linebacker, North Carolina
The Saints have a lot of free agent outside linebackers, but none of them are long term options anyways. Sturdivant can play be the weakside linebacker, or play the middle and move Vilma outside.

73. Kenrick Ellis, Nose Tackle, Hampton
The Texans don't have a big fat guy, and they're gonna need one with the switch to a 3-4. Kenrick Ellis is just the guy they're looking for.

74. Marcus Gilbert, Offensive Tackle, Florida
With Matt Light set to hit free agency, the Patriots need to get younger and better at tackle. Gilbert will play RT with Vollmer moving to LT.

75. Daniel Thomas, Running Back, Kansas State
Kevin Smith isn't gonna be back, and Maurice Morris isn't a long term option to compliment Jahvid Best. Daniel Thomas is the big back Detroit needs to compliment Best.

76. Dontay Moch, Rush Linebacker, Nevada
San Francisco needs to get consistent play opposite of Manny Lawson. Moch can sit behind Ahmad Brooks and Parys Haralson for a year to get more technically sound as a rush linebacker. Once he puts everything together he's gonna be a stud.

77. Greg Jones, Linebacker, Michigan State
Tennessee didn't get productive play from the outside linebacker's last season. Greg Jones can play any 4-3 linebacker position, which is good, because Stephen Tulloch could leave in free agency.

78. Kendall Hunter, Running Back, Oklahoma State
It's seemed like ever since Steven Jackson has been around he hasn't had a good spell back. Hunter is the change of pace back the Rams have been looking for.

79. Jordan Todman, Running Back, Connecticut
Ronnie Brown and Ricky Williams aren't gonna be back. Todman will be one of the future runners in Miami.

80. Tandon Doss, Wide Receiver, Indiana
Mike Sims-Walker isn't gonna be back. Jacksonville is gonna need someone opposite of Mike Thomas.

81. Chimdi Chekwa, Cornerback, Ohio State
Crazy Al Davis likes big fast corners. Chimdi Chekwa is just that at 6'1" and 191lbs while running a 4.38 40 time. They're gonna need him with Nnamdi likely moving on.

82. James Brewer, Offensive Tackle, Indiana
Charger fans scream in joy as Jeromey Clary becomes a free agent. Brewer is the guy that will takeover for that bum. He'll need a year before he does anything though.

83. Clint Boling, Offensive Guard, Wisconsin
With the Giants O-line up there in age, and very injury prone, they need to start rebuilding the offensive line. Boling has second round talent, so the Giants get great value here late in the third.

84. Colin McCarthy, Middle Linebacker, Miami (FL)
Rudd is all, but gone in Tampa as he is supposedly asking for too much money. McCarthy is a very underrated prospect who will excel in the Tampa-2.

85. DeAndre McDaniel, Safety, Clemson
It doesn't appear that Quintin Mikell will be back next year. Kurt Coleman isn't gonna be the guy who replaces him. McDaniel is the top SS in this class.

86. Sam Acho, Rush Linebacker, Texas
The Chiefs didn't have another rush linebacker after Tamba Hali last year. Sam Acho is the best available rush linebacker.

87. Tyler Sash, Safety, Iowa
Bob Sanders is finally gone, and Melvin Bullitt is a free agent. Bullitt will be brought back, but he isn't a long term option at SS. The Colts could also use some depth at the safety position.

88. Robert Sands, Safety, West Virginia
New Orleans will probably trade one of their two 3rd round picks considering they don't have another pick until the seventh round. We can't predict trades here though, so the Saints will make a project pick and take Sands. Roman Harper is a free agent, and even though he'll be brought back the Saints could upgrade over him.

89. Brandon Burton, Cornerback, Utah
The Chargers have two really good corners, but they don't have any depth behind Antoine Cason and Quentin Jammer. Burton is one of the top corners available, and addresses that depth issue.

90. Titus Young, Wide Receiver, Boise State
Titus Young takes a huge fall and the Ravens are happy to steal him here. The Ravens would consider Young in the second round if he was still on the board. Young trumps most of the talent here in the third, but he falls due to other teams needs.

91. DeMarcus Love, Offensive Tackle/Guard, Arkansas
Harvey Dahl, Justin Blalock, and Tyson Clabo are all free agents. The Falcons won't be able to retain all of them. The Falcons need to add another offensive lineman.

92. Johnny Patrick, Cornerback, Louisville
Darius Butler isn't that good. Leigh Bodden is coming off a shoulder injury. Kyle Arrington should only be a nickelback. The Patriots need some cornerback depth.

93. Greg Little, Wide Receiver, North Carolina
The Bears have some good receivers, but they don't have that guy. Greg Little has that number one receiver talent that the Bears have been lacking for years.

94. Jerrell Powe, Nose Tackle, Ole Miss
Kris Jenkins is gone and they need defensive line depth anyways. Powe can anchor the middle, and allow Sione Pouha to move over to defensive end.

95. Kelvin Sheppard, Inside Linebacker, LSU
James Farrior doesn't have much left and is at the end of his career. The Steelers can develop Sheppard to replace Farrior when he's finally done.

96. Edmond Gates, Wide Receiver, Abilene Christian
James Jones is on his way out of Green Bay, and they need someone to replace him. Edmond Gates has had his stock up ever since the combine.

97. Terrell McClain, Defensive Tackle, South Florida
Carolina needs to address the defensive tackle position multiple times. People have been intrigued about McClain ever since the East-West Shrine Game, and he has pushed his stock into late second round consideration.

 

[TheImmortalGoud]

Round Four

98. Luke Stocker, Tight End, Tennessee
There isn't a receiver worth taking right now at this spot. Luke Stocker is one of the top players available, and Carolina will need a Tight End after Shockey's time is up.

99. Stephen Schilling, Offensive Guard, Michigan
It's a bit late to address the offensive line problems, but it has to be addressed sometime. Schilling is a good fit to play guard in Seattle's system.

100. Nate Irving, Inside Linebacker, North Carolina State
Buffalo doesn't have another quality inside linebacker after Paul Posluszny. They need some help inside.

101. Marcus Gilchrist, Cornerback/Safety, Clemson
The Bengals are gonna need another corner if Johnathan Joseph leaves in free agency, If he doesn't then Gilchrist can be the FS.

102. Shareece Wright, Cornerback, USC
Eric Wright had a terrible year last season. Sheldon Brown is likely to move to free safety. The Browns need some help at corner.

103. Lance Kendricks, Tight End, Wisconsin
Arizona hasn't had a notable tight end for years. Kendricks is a really good pass catcher and good enough blocker to get it done at the next level.

104. Alex Green, Running Back, Hawaii
The Eagles need a backup to LeSean McCoy. Green's size and pass catching ability would be a good fit for the Eagles.

105. Cedric Thornton, Defensive End, Southern Arkansas
One of the more underrated and unknown prospects in this draft class. Houston needs personnel for a 3-4. Thornton is best suited to play 3-4 end in the NFL.

106. Deunta Williams, Safety, North Carolina
Madieu Williams is terrible. Williams is a 3rd round prospect who falls to the 4th, because of character concerns.

107. K.J. Wright, Outside Linebacker, Mississippi State
The only good linebacker on the roster is DeAndre Levy. Everyone else is backup quality at best.

108. Ricky Stanzi, Quarterback, Iowa
San Francisco just fell short of the quarterbacks in the second round. San Francisco could use a pick here in the 4th to take a shot on a quarterback.

109. Pernell McPhee, Defensive End, Mississippi State
Jason Babin is a free agent, and will likely be moving on. Tennessee is gonna need some help to go along with Derrick Morgan.

110. Delone Carter, Running Back, Syracuse
Marion Barber is expected to be released sometime this offseason. The Cowboys are gonna need a power back to replace him.

111. D.J. Williams, Tight End, Arkansas
Anthony Fasano has been a good tight end for the Dolphins, but his time is up. Miami is targeting a tight end, and D.J. Williams is high on their list.

112. John Moffitt, Offensive Guard, Wisconsin
Adam Goldberg wasn't that good at RG this year. John Moffitt is one of the top players available, and fills a need at the same time.

113. Roy Helu Jr., Running Back, Nebraska
Michael Bush is expected to move on from the Raiders once free agency starts. Al Davis will covet Helu with his combination of speed and power..

114. Jalil Brown, Cornerback, Colorado
After Rashean Mathis, the Jaguars had too much inconsistent play at cornerback. Jacksonville is gonna need someone to challenge Derek Cox, or replace him for that matter.

115. Shane Vereen, Running Back, California
The Niners are gonna be looking for a pass catching/speed back to compliment Frank Gore and Anthony Dixon. The Niners get great value with Shane Vereen falling to them in the 4th.

116. Kendric Burney, Cornerback, North Carolina
Tampa will highly consider taking Burney in the 3rd, but they get lucky here and get him in the 4th. Aqib Talib may be getting released, and this is probably gonna be Ronde Barber's last year. Burney is a perfect fit for the Tampa 2, and would be the perfect candidate to replace either of them.

117. DeMarco Murray, Running Back, Oklahoma
Ahmad Bradshaw is a free agent, and Brandon Jacobs days in New York are coming to an end. The Giants are expected to draft a running back sometime in the draft.

118. Jason Pinkston, Offensive Tackle/Guard, Pittsburgh
Barry Richardson is alright, but that's it. Pinkston can be the right tackle or move to guard if tackle doesn't work out.

119. Joseph Barksdale, Offensive Tackle, LSU
The Colts were really bad this year along the offensive line. Barksdale has all the talent, but he hasn't played to it. The Colts can develop him for a year or two, and put him out when he's ready.

120. Ross Homan, Outside Linebacker, Ohio State
Ernie Sims is a free agent, and he struggled this year anyways. Homan is a really agile linebacker, which the Eagles desire from the position.

121. Lawrence Wilson, Outside Linebacker, Connecticut
Justin Durant isn't gonna be back next year with the Jaguars. They're gonna need someone to replace him.

122. Ugo Chinasa, Rush Linebacker, Oklahoma State
Buffalo did a terrible job this year pressuring the quarterback from the outside linebackers. Chinasa is one of the top rush linebackers available.

123. Austin Pettis, Wide Receiver, Boise State
Baltimore needs multiple upgrades at receiver. They took the speed guy in the 3rd, so they take the big receiver here in the 4th.

124. Virgil Green, Tight End, Nevada
This is gonna be Tony Gonzalez's last season in the NFL. The Falcons are gonna need someone to replace him. Virgil Green is one of the more talented players in the draft, but could use the year to sit behind Tony.

125. Ahmad Black, Safety, Florida
Brandon Meriweather may be going behind bars soon. Belichick likes Florida players, and Ahmad Black fits the profile of a Patriot kind of player.

126. Terrance Tolliver, Wide Receiver, LSU
Santonio Holmes, Braylon Edwards, and Brad Smith are all free agents. The Jets need to reassure themselves with a receiver if they can't bring them all back.

127. Tim Barnes, Center, Missouri
Olin Kreutz is a free agent, and isn't good anymore at his age. Kreutz is expected back, but Chicago can start developing his replacement.

128. Sione Fua, Nose Tackle, Stanford
Casey Hampton is starting to regress. The Steelers need to start developing his replacement.

129. Jacquizz Rodgers, Running Back, North Carolina
They have Ryan Grant and James Starks, but Brandon Jackson is a free agent. Green Bay is gonna need to get a new 3rd down back.[/QUOTE]

130. Jaiquawn Jarrett, Safety, Temple
Chris Hope is gonna be released. The Titans are gonna need a replacement at SS.[/QUOTE]

131. Lawrence Guy, Defensive End, Arizona State
Cullen Jenkins is likely to leave in free agency and Johnny Jolly is gonna be released. The Packers are gonna need some depth at defensive end.

 

[dave]

Not saying I agree with your mock (don't really care, you're entitled to your opinion), but way to step up your game on the formatting.
A-plus and four "thanks" for the effort.
Nice work, kid.

 

[Raidersabc123]

Great job still dont believe Newton will go 1st and Michael Bush will be with the raiders next year he was a restricted free agent and the raiders tagged a 1st and 3rd on him

Jurrell Casey went to USC, not LSU... a few little mistakes...

Overall I liked it, had some players falling to spots where I definitely don't think they will fall to, but a lot of your 3rd and 4th round picks are guys that I think should be that high or even higher.

Can't really argue with the position picks for the Eagles, but I don't know enough about the actual players to comment.

If the Pats do trade the first of their 1st round picks, I don't see them drafting a RB that high, see Lawrence Maroney, nor a WR with the 1st of their 2nd round picks. I see them going with DL/LB/DB/OL, not necessarily in that order, and depending who is available when/where. Any RB/WR will be on the 2nd day IMO.

I don't LOVE the Ravens draft, but can't say I hate it. Only pick I really dislike is the Pettis pick. We have to address CB depth within the first four rounds, possibly first three.

The RB from Hawaii I don't put that high, but if the Eagles make that draft they are in good shape, I think you would be pretty happy.

I actually really love the Colts draft, very similar to what I projected in our group mock.

 

[Spidey]

Don't know much about Gates, but overall I would be pretty elated if this was the first rounds for the Packers. Only gripe would be no Rush LB but I like what we got and it covered a lot of needs.

We are now at the point where I feel Dallas is telegraphing the Smith pick almost too much. Don't get me wrong, I'm on board, in fact I was hearing about their facsination with him as far back as December (They sent a scout to every USC game) and I felt they'd take him at 9 long before I heard any media outlets start saying it. That being said, it's almost like they're using it as a giant smokescreen. Problem is, I can't find myself being thrilled with any other choice they could make at that position, other than Peterson or Dareus, and I don't think either willl be there.

I highly doubt they'll go for one of the safeties in 2. I think DL is the way to go. They pretty much have Michael Huff in the bag at this point and I think having he and Sensabaugh at safety for now is ok.

4 is too high for Barber's replacement at this point. A developmental guard or even someone like John Moffitt would be nice.

Great job still dont believe Newton will go 1st and Michael Bush will be with the raiders next year he was a restricted free agent and the raiders tagged a 1st and 3rd on him

Didn't know that, but I think it'll be the 3 year rule once a CBA gets done.

Forgot to change that. I had Nevis going to them in my last mock, and I just copied the format.

I think that they will trade out of that spot and take Mike Pouncey, but we can't predict trades.

I think Carimi if that happens. They can get by with their current guards starting and a 2nd-4th rounder backing them up. But Marc Colombo needs to be replaced immediately.

 

[Aso]

I think the Patriots will address guard somewhere in the first 4 rounds.

 

[Woy]

Titans won't take Mallett, but besides that good picks for them.

Munch and MR have seen what players with character concerns have done here and I'm sure after the whole VY mess, they're not going to draft someone with baggage as their franchise quarterback.

 

[inthecards21]

The steelers wouldn't waste a pick on an inside linebacker for James Farrior this year, because they have sylvester waiting in the wings who they drafted last year in the fifth. Overall a solid draft though, good mock

 

[Primetime]

Hate the Cornerback pick for the Packers. Would much rather see a LB in that spot. The coaches are huge on Sam Shields and Charles still has a few good years left.

Also, where did you get the idea Jones is on his way out of Green Bay. He's stated multiple times that he would love to stay in Green Bay for the rest of his career and he's only wanted to stay with one team his entire career. Unless he gets a massive deal, Green Bay will match any deal he's offered.
