Mock Draft

Miami- T Jake Long, Michigan

Not really going out a limb here.

St. Louis- DT Glen Dorsey, LSU

Turning point in the draft. If St. Louis takes Chris Long, the Raven get Matt Ryan.

Atlanta- QB Matt Ryan, BC

Won’t touch McFadden because of his character issues, want Dorsey, but settle for Ryan.

Oakland- DE Vernon Gholston, Ohio State

Comes down to him and McFadden, but running back is one of Oakland’s strongest positions. Gholston is a freak, he’ll be a star in Oakland.

Kansas City- DE Chris Long, Virginia

This would be the ideal pick to replace Jared Allen. If Long is gone, and there’s a 50-50 chance he goes at pick two, the trade doesn’t look so good.

New York Jets- RB Darren McFadden, Arkansas

Radio City Music Hall may explode.

New England- DE Derrick Harvey, Florida

They’ll probably trade down, but if the Pats stick at seven, Harvey could slide in to a 3-4 pass rushing linebacker. Keith Rivers is an option as well.

Baltimore- T Ryan Clady, Boise State

Want Ryan, settle for the draft’s second best o-lineman.

Cincinnatti- DT Sedrick Ellis, USC

If he drops this far, Ellis would go a long way to reshaping a terrible Bengals D. Will likely be arrested in less than six months.

New Orleans- LB Keith Rivers, USC

Desperately needs help at linebacker and in the secondary.

Buffalo- CB Leodis McKelvin, Troy

Need help at wideout, but their aren’t any that warrant a pick this high. McKelvin helps replace Nate Clements, who signed last season with San Francisco.

Denver- RB Rashard Mendenhall, Illinois

If this happens, Mendenhall has to be Rookie of the Year, right? If Olandis Gary can rush for 1,000 in Denver, Shard should be good for 1,400 as a rook.

Carolina- G Braden Albert, Virginia

Bears just miss their man.

Chicago- T Jeff Otah, Pitt.

I actually like Otah, so this is a nice consolation prize with Clady, Albert, and Shard all gone.

Detroit- T Chris Williams, Vanderbilt

Need help at linebacker but look to rebuild the line with the draft’s last solid left tackle prospect.

Arizona- RB Jonathon Stewart, Oregon

Edge James is finished.

Kansas City- CB Dominique Rodgers-Cromartie, Tenn State

Wants a tackle here, and could reach for one, but since none fall, KC targets a top corner.

Houston- CB Mike Jenkins, South Florida

Would like a running back, but will settle to match up another corner with Dunta Robinson.

Philadelphia- WR Desean Jackson, Cal

McNabb gets the playmaker he wants.

Tampa Bay- WR Devin Thomas, Mich State

After missing Calvin Johnson last year, Tampa get it’s receiver.

Washington- LB Jerod Mayo, Tenn

Could go in the top 15, so Washington would love to see him fall here.

Dallas- CB Aqib Talib, Kansas

Has the huge upside that Jerry Jones loves.

Pittsburgh- T Gosder Cherilus, BC

Solid right tackle prospect helps Pitt rebuild their line.

Tennessee- WR Limas Sweed, Texas

Big target for Vinnie Young.

Seattle- TE Dustin Keller, Purdue

Maybe a bit of a reach, but Keller is the best tight end in the class.

Jacksonville- DE Phillip Merling, Clemson

Helps beef up an already solid defensive front.

San Diego- OLB Quentin Groves, Auburn

Expect a positive steroids test in two to five years.

Dallas- RB Felix Jones, Dallas

Jerry Jones loves his Arkansas guys.

San Francisco- WR James Hardy, Indiana

Huge wideout helps Martz in his new offense.

Green Bay- T Sam Baker, USC

A bit of a reach, but Green Bay needs to get younger on the line.

New York Giants- S Kenny Phillips, Miami

Playmaking safety really helps the defending champs.

Update: Just noticed our friends at Arin it Out have done some mock drafting as well.

Update II: Oh yeah, I Top Ten'd today. Guys the Bears should target.
