Mock Draft 1.0

Colts
Andrew Luck

No surprise here. I think this is a smart pick irregardless of the Manning situation. We've heard enough I think about the situation

Rams
Everyone is saying this is a guarantee trade. I don't think they get as much as the experts think. The Brown trade up and give up their first two round picks, nothing more.

Browns
RG3

I'm not sold on RG3. I think he's a pocket passer first, does a good job eluding the rush and takes off in the right situation. We really haven't seen a running QB like him. I don't think he throws as well as McNabb, but he's also a lot faster. Vince Young isn't the pocket passer that RG3 is. Michael Vick last year is the closest thing we have probably seen comparable. Let me get this out of the way. He's fast, but not elusive. If there is man coverage, he's going to cover a lot of ground fast, but he's not going to Sanders anyone. I don't think he's throwing dimes anytime soon. I honestly have no idea at how good he is at reading coverage. He definitely has the skill set, if he puts in the time and effort. That is no easy thing to do. I think if he works his butt off he will throw similar to Cam Newton. I think could throw some dimes, but at times he will miss bad. My personal opinion is I don't think he will throw more than a couple of dimes. He will bring a good dynamic to the Browns.

Vikings
Matt Kalil

I don't think there is any other possibilities other than trading it and with the new CBA that is a possibility.

Rams
Justin Blackmon

I think it's either Blackmon or Morris Claiborne. If it was my pick I'd go Claiborne. There is nobody like Megatron, but WR are becoming more like RBs. They are everywhere. It's becoming tough to pay so much too one spot.

Bucs
Morris Claiborne

This one is tough. They could take anyone. I don't think they would go DE here. Could go Reiff or Richardson, but Claiborne is the best available and now they hired LSU secondary coach.

Redskins
Riley Reiff

Who will the skins sign and what do they want. It's probably to early to mock this pick, but this is probably the best pick available to them.

Jaguars
Melvin Ingram

Do they make the mistake of trying to help Gabbert to make that pick work out? Ingram killed the draft. He has  work issues, but he's a beast. There is no real WR option so I think they go either OT with Jonathon Martin or Ingram.

Dolphins
Quinton Coples

They are moving to a 4-3 and they will need players to fit that system.

Panthers
Jonathan Martin

I'm really not sure what they will do. I think they could possibly reach and take Floyd. They really need a DT, but they want to keep selling tickets and help Newton out. If they go DT after the combine I think it would be Poe. Before the combine I would have said Fletcher Cox.

Bills
Courtney Upshaw

They've all but made the pick in my opinion. I think it's a good pick though.

Chiefs
David Decastro

If they are smart and Martin is gone this is the pick. They might take Richardson.

Seahawks
Luke Kuechly

Killed it at the combine. Still not personally impressed, but they need help bad a MLB, I think it's  a no brainer if they rate him as well as everyone else is.

Cardinals
Nick Perry

I think this would be OL if someone was there. I don't think Decastro would make it past this pick if he's available unless Martin still is too for some reason.

Cowboys
Dontari Poe

Tough to say who this pick will be. If for some reason Martin was available at the last pick, then this would be DeCastro. I don't think they take Richardson. Floyd is honestly a possibility. Character concerns I'm not sure that they take Kirkpatrick though. Poe may not make the most logical sense,but he killed it at the combine and probably is the best player available.

Eagles
Michael Floyd

They need a WR with a frame. This pick is Kuechly if he's there. Otherwise it's Devon Still or Fletcher.

Jets
Whitney Mercilus


I think they wanted Floyd or a pass rusher. I already have someone reaching on Perry. Well looks like another De moves up. I think Mercilus has great upside and don't think this pick is bad at all. Perry pick yeah that's a reach. This is a high potential player.

Bengals
Dre Kirkpatrick

Still missing Joseph. If this is the way the draft plays out I think they will be picking an Alabama player. Richardson and also Hightown is an outside possibility. They might be shocked Richardson is here and take him.

Chargers
Mike Adams

They need a tackle bad.

Bears
Kendall Wright

I'll be mocking a WR till that gets addressed. I think they don't want to pull a Millen.

Titans
Fletcher Cox

At this point all DE possibilities are gone here. Logical pick is Gordy Glenn then Mike Barron. They said they wouldn't take an interior lineman in the first round. Michael Griffin might be gone which then Barron would be a quick pick here especially if all the DEs are gone.

Bengals
Trent Richardson

He's likely to be gone by now. RBs are considered to be a dime a dozen, probably because they are. Gordy  Glenn would the other pick.

Rams
Devon Stills

They have a lot of needs.

Lions
Mike Barron

He's my top player available

Steelers
Dont'a Hightower

He's my top player available. It's likely the Lions could take him one spot earlier. They have aging LBs that they have already let one go.

Broncos
Stephen Hill

I really think they want Devon Still.

Texans
Alshon Jeffery

This is going to be WR more than likely

Patriots
Michael Brockers

They'll be taking 3-4 OLB

Packers
Peter Konz

Addressing the OL again.

Ravens
Reuben Randle


I think they wanted OL or defense. Andre Branch is a possibilty.


49ers
Coby Fleener

It's really got nothing to do with the Stanford connection. He wants another TE to have a dynamic duo. If they make this pick ESPN analysts will point to the Pats how they do it. Their offense really doesn't work that way. I'd point to the Lions, but I'm biased.

Patriots
Andre Branch

This might be surprise pick Vinny Curry. Like I said earlier they need 3-4 OLBs.

Giants
Zach Brown

I don't think this is a steal of a pick at all, but this is a good fit for them. I believe they would run this pick up. It just makes sense.

Change of Heart

Vontaze Burflict shot himself in the foot at the combine. He is in a very similar situation as Brandon Spikes. Who knows and quite frankly who cares where he goes. He ran a 5.1 40. Vontaze blamed his coaches in his interviews. Hard to know what he was thinking, but there was already character issues. He's looking like at the earliest the third round. He might go undrafted. He is definitely no longer my draft crush. I'm embarrassed to admit he ever was.
