NFL Mock Draft

Here's my attempt at the first round with a projected trade (I'm sure there will be many more). I have Jimmy Clausen going to the Browns at #7. I don't think he gets past #10 but if he does, look out free fall!

1 Rams - QB Sam Bradford. They need a new face for the franchise.

2 Lions - DT Ndamakung Suh. Could go LT here due to value at that spot.

3 Buccaneers - LT Russell Okung. Freeman needs his protector.

4 Redskins - LT Trent Williams. Chris Samuels retired and needs to be replaced.

5 Chiefs - S Eric Berry. Berry is a terrific player but they would love a LT.

6 Seahawks - DT Gerald McCoy. McCoy slips a bit but Seattle is loving it.

7 Browns - QB Jimmy Clausen. The Browns need a QB.

8 Raiders - DE Jason Pierre-Paul. Raw but a physical freak the Al Davis loves.

9 Bills - OT Bryan Baluga. They need a tackle and hope he can play on the left side.

10 Jaguars - CB Joe Hayden. They could use a pass rusher and a WR but take the best CB.

11 Broncos (From Bears in Cutler deal) - WR Dez Bryant. Looks like double speak but they didn�t want to pay Marshall and need weapons. Bryant easily the best WR.

12 Seattle from Dolphins (proj. trade) - OT Anthony Davis. Dolphins get an extra 4th to move down while Seattle beats SF to get the best remaining tackle.

13 49ers - FS Earl Thomas. Could be the best safety in the draft. Another Ed Reed.

14 Dolphins from Seahawks (proj. trade) - OLB Jerry Hughes. Is a 3-4 OLB that can rush the passer. May be a little high so Miami may move down some more.

15 Giants - MLB Rolando McClain. He falls in to the Giants laps who may have to move up to ensure they get him.

16 Titans - DE Brandon Graham. The DL is depleted.

17 49ers (From Panthers) - CJ Spiller. Gore gets hurt and Coffee is a plugger. Spiller is always a big play away from scoring.

18 Steelers - C/G Maurkice Pouncey. The OL needs to be restocked.

19 Falcons - DE Derrick Morgan. They need a bigger pass rush.

20 Texans - CB Kyle Wilson. CB big need. RB also strong possibility.

21 Bengals - TE Jermaine Gresham. They need more weapons for Carson Palmer and TE has been bad for awhile.

22 Patriots - RB Ryan Matthews. New England is old and thin at the skill positions on offense. Matthews brings back some balance.

23 Green Bay - OT Bruce Campbell. A physical freak and the Packers need OL help. Could draft a CB too.

24 Eagles - OL Mike Iupati. Need to improve the OL.

25 Ravens - TE Rob Gronkowski. Todd Heap is old and not the same player anymore.

26 Cardinals - OLB Sergio Kindle. Fits the 3-4 system and will replace Joey Porter in a year.

27 Cowboys - OT Roger Saffold. They released big Flozell and need a new LT.

28 Chargers - NT Dan Williams. They need to replace Jamal Williams.

29 Jets - DE Jared Odrick. A 3-4 DE or a smaller DT. Will help boost the Jets defense.

30 Vikings - CB Devin McCourty. Have to slow down the Saints!

31 Colts - OT Charles Brown. Have to protect the franchise.

32 Saints - LB Sean Weatherspoon. A great all around LB.

Completely agree with your Raiders pick. I'm SURE they'll pick either Pierre-Paul or Bruce Campbell just because they're both freaks of nature and that's Al Davis' mentality (as you alluded to). Don't really agree with CJ Spiller to the 49ers at 17 though, think he'll go higher.

Man I hope your wrong about the Browns picking Clausen. I will be pissed if that happens. If Berry is gone I hope they either trade down or take Earl Thomas.

I don't think Clausen goes higher than #7. Buffalo at #9 might be more logical. I think Cleveland is a bit screwed at #7 to be honest.

Spiller could definitely go higher than 17 but I'm trying to find a team that really needs a RB earlier and it's hard. He's not a full time back and I still think Best is similar. It's a deep RB draft and people may not jump on him early. Buffalo may take him as high as #9 but he could fall a bit imo.
