You can usually go to the dallas morning news website and get it Saturday night. Wait a few hours and it should be there.

It says a mock draft is up, but I'm not trying to subscribe.

I've only seen Goose's first mock available to this point.

If the site asks you to register, clear your cookies and try again. If you visit several pages at DMN, it will eventually ask you to register.

The St. Louis Rams cannot pass up a franchise quarterback for the third consecutive year - not after having released incumbent starter Marc Bulger this off-season.

So pencil in Oklahoma's Sam Bradford to the Rams at the first overall pick of the 2010 draft. Next up is finding a home for Notre Dame's Jimmy Clausen, the only other quarterback on this draft board with franchise traits.

A couple of other teams in the top 10 could use a quarterback, most notably Cleveland and Buffalo. But don't rule out Kansas City and Washington.

Clausen's college coach, Charlie Weis, is now the offensive coordinator of the Chiefs, and the Commanders need to start grooming a successor for Donovan McNabb, who turns 34 this season. Washington may not be in this position to draft a talented young quarterback such as Clausen again any time soon.

Washington selects fourth, Kansas City fifth, Cleveland seventh and Buffalo ninth.

If Clausen is not drafted in the top 10, he could fall victim to an Aaron Rodgers-type slide. There isn't a team in the teens in this draft in the market for a quarterback, so Clausen could wind up available into the 20s.

Rodgers projected as a top 10 pick in 2005 but slid to 24, where the Packers stole a Pro Bowl quarterback. Clausen could be a similar bargain if he slips out of the top 10.

Give Clausen to the Commanders in the second mock draft offering from The Dallas Morning News. The first one last Sunday was based on best available player. This one places a greater emphasis on team need.

The first draft projection was based on Rick Gosselin's draft board of the top 32 players, this one focuses on team needs and the third will be how Gosselin sees the draft playing out:

1. St. Louis

Sam Bradford, QB, Oklahoma

Bradford's accuracy will remind the Rams of Kurt Warner

2. Detroit

Gerald McCoy, DT, Oklahoma

The Lions still looking for the next Alex Karras

3. Tampa Bay

Ndamukong Suh, DT, Nebraska

The Buccaneers still looking for the next Warren Sapp

4. Washington

Jimmy Clausen, QB, Notre Dame

Donovan McNabb is Mike Shanahan's short-term solution

5. Kansas City

Russell Okung, OT, Oklahoma St.

The Chiefs allowed way too many sacks (45) in 2009

6. Seattle

Trent Williams, OT, Oklahoma

Too many hits, too many injuries for QB Matt Hasselbeck

7. Cleveland

Eric Berry, S, Tennessee

Browns take the best player available - and he's a good one

8. Oakland

Kyle Wilson, CB, Boise State

Al Davis prefers speed and skill with his premium picks

9. Buffalo

Dan Williams, DT, Tennessee

The Bills need an anchor in their new 3-4 scheme

10. Jacksonville

Derrick Morgan, DE, Ga. Tech

The NFL's worst pass rush needs help

11. Denver

Jason Pierre-Paul, DE, So. Florida

The Broncos have bodies at end; they need impact

12. Miami

Ryan Mathews, HB, Fresno State

Ricky Williams is 32 and Ronnie Brown 29 this season

13. San Francisco

Anthony Davis, OT, Rutgers

The 49ers need a tackle to bookend Joe Staley

14. Seattle

C.J. Spiller, HB, Clemson

The Seahawks still looking to replace Shaun Alexander

15. NY Giants

Rolando McClain, MLB, Alabama

The release of Antonio Pierce leaves a hole at MLB

16. Tennessee

Brandon Graham, DE, Michigan

The Titans need to dial up the heat on Peyton Manning

17. San Francisco

Joe Haden, CB, Florida

The 49ers finished 21st in the NFL in pass defense

18. Pittsburgh

Jared Odrick, DE, Penn State

Could be the next Aaron Smith for the Steelers

19. Atlanta

Bryan Bulaga, OT, Iowa

Gives the Falcons flexibility at guard and tackle

20. Houston

Earl Thomas, S, Texas

The Texans in dire need of a playmaker at the back end

21. Cincinnati

Maurkice Pouncey, C, Florida

Gives the Bengals flexibility at center and guard

22. New England

Jermaine Gresham, TE, Oklahoma

Starting TE Benjamin Watson bolted in free agency

23. Green Bay

Sergio Kindle, OLB, Texas

A stereo pass rush with Clay Matthews

24. Philadelphia

Jerry Hughes, DE, TCU

Eagles moved Darren Howard and Chris Clemons off the roster

25. Baltimore

Rob Gronkowski, TE, Arizona

Pro Bowler Todd Heap starting to get up in years

26. Arizona

Demaryius Thomas, WR, Ga. Tech

QB Matt Leinart needs the weapons to succeed

27. Dallas

Dez Bryant, WR, Oklahoma State

Best WR in draft slides to a team that needs WR help

28. San Diego

Devin McCourty, CB, Rutgers

A hole at CB with the trade of Antonio Cromartie to Jets

29. NY Jets

Kareem Jackson, CB, Alabama

The most physical cornerback in the draft

30. Minnesota

Rodger Saffold, OT, Indiana

Brett Favre took a beating in NFC title game

31. Indianapolis

Mike Iupati, G, Idaho

The Colts are trying to get bigger up front

32. New Orleans

Brian Price, DT, UCLA

NFL's 21st-ranked run defense needs help

 

[MarionBarberThe4th]

WTH do I know but thats not a good mock imo.



Ryan Matthews befire CJ Spiller again? 0% chance. I guess he cant mock a trade down though and Miami probably wants to

Brian Prices stock is falling near R3 right now. Linval Joespeh should go before him


We wouldnt pass on Iupati nor would he fall that far but hey, sign me up for the situation where we have Dez Bryant and Mike Iupati both available at 27

 

[JBS]

goose's 2nd mock is based on team needs, is that correct?

 

[texbumthelife]

I am not one to covet thy neighbors wife usually, but that mock really makes me envious of 49ers fans. I remember the year we picked Ware and Spears; it was a blast.

Wow is all I can say. I know Goose is supposed to be the most accurate, but that mock is horrendous. I find it hard to believe that Dallas will take Dez Bryant if Iupati is on the board as well.

 

[SDogo]

Good thing he always does 3.

 

[ThreeSportStar80]

Hey I'd take Bryant... Even more offensive firepower!
