Hey Fellow Zoners... I thought I'd make an impact on this year's draft festivities on the board so I figured that I'd make a mock draft... along with everyone else. My mock will feature analysis but no trades because of a new draft board.
So... here it is... two rounds.
So... here it is... two rounds.
First overall selection, Miami selects:
Jake Long, OL, Michigan
Parcells needs someone to anchor a shaky offensive line and this guy could very well be him. John Beck will need protection if he is to be the QB of the future for the Dolphins.
Second overall, St. Louis selects:
Vernon Gholston, DE, Ohio State
St. Louis needs a defensive presence on the squad. Chris Long is passed on because of Gholston's versatility and tweener status. Could project as an OLB or a DE.
Third overall, Atlanta selects:
Matt Ryan, QB, Boston College
Despite Harrington's flashes of brilliance, Ryan's potential for greatness in this offense cannot be ignored. He will pair along with an emerging Roddy White and blockbuster acquisition Michael Turner.
Fourth overall, Oakland selects:
Chris Long, DE, Virginia
Long is playing for his father's professional alma mater. He will succeed because of his pedigree and defensive arsenal on a defense that desperately needs him.
Fith overall, Kansas City selects:
Ryan Clady, OL, Boise St.
With Jake Long already off of the board, Kansas City looks to their next best option to shore up their offensive line and give Croyle or Huard the protection they need.
Sixth overall, New York [Jets] select:
Jerrod Mayo, ILB, Tennessee
With a departing Johnathan Vilma, there leaves a gaping hole in the middle linebacker spot. Mayo can step and be servicable in his first year or two in Mangini's defense.
Seventh overall, New England selects:
Keith Rivers, OLB, USC
Rivers brings an infusion of youth and talent to a declining defense. Rivers will be learning from some of the best players at the position and be in a position to contribute early.
Eighth overall, Baltimore selects:
Leodis McKelvin, DB, Troy
McKelvin is the number one defensive back prospect in a deep class this year. Injuries exposes their depth at the position and McKelvin could be McAllister's eventual successor.
Ninth overall, Cincinatti selects:
Derrick Harvey, DE, Florida
Justin Smith's departure leaves a hole that Harvey may be able to immediately or within a short period of time fill. Lewis can use him in his traditional defense and brings athletic ability to the team.
Tenth overall, New Orleans selects:
Sedrick Ellis, DT, USC
Ellis will fit his way into the middle of a very talented defensive line in New Orleans. The Saints' front seven are very quietly becoming to be one of the best in the league.
Eleventh overall, Buffalo selects:
Limas Sweed, WR, Texas
Sweed brings a big target to a shaky quarterback situation in Buffalo. Between Edwards and Losman duking it out, Sweed can bring some stability along with Lee Evans.
Twelth overall, Denver selects:
Chris Williams, OT, Vanderbilt
With the run on OT's early, Denver swoops up one of the few remaining first round talents in Williams. The retirement of Lepsis leaves a hole that Williams can close.
Thirteenth overall, Carolina selects:
Jeff Otah, OT, Pittsburgh
Carolina's offensive line can only get better, so they draft to help that along. Otah can solidify an already impressive line and give Carolina some glimpse of dominance in the running game.
Fourteenth overall, Chicago selects:
Darren McFadden, RB, Arkansas
McFadden will deliver where Cedric Benson has failed. He is an explosive runner with productive down the field speed and can strike from anywhere on the field.
Fifteenth overall, Detroit selects:
Jonathan Stewart, RB, Oregon
Stewart is a big, bruising runner that can punish anyone in his way and still keep moving. They had trouble moving the chains on the ground and Stewart is more than capable of doing that.
Sixteenth overall, Arizona selects:
Branden Albert, OG, Virginia
Albert's versatility along the offensive line allows this pick to be such a great one. Either guard or tackle position can be played by him and presents the notion of a "We'll be okay!" feeling.
Seventeenth overall, Minnesota selects:
Phillip Merling, DE, Clemson
With Udeze down for the count in his valiant struggle with cancer, Minnesota selects his replacement in an effort to bring strength to a struggling defensive line.
Eighteenth overall, Houston selects:
Rashard Mendenhall, RB, Illinois
The run on offensive linemen has put Houston in a predicament; however, Mendenhall falls to them here. He can run the ball and do it very well with a great combination of size, speed, and agility.
Nineteenth overall, Philadelphia selects:
Devin Thomas, WR, Michigan State
Thomas can bring a legitimate threat alongside Reggie Brown. They opt to go offense barring a trade that allows Sheppard or Brown to depart.
Twentieth overall, Tampa Bay selects:
Mike Jenkins, DB, South Florida
Jenkins is a safety/defensive back tweener that allows him to play multiple positions; however, his main focus will be a defensive back. Ronde Barber isn't getting any younger.
Twenty-first overall, Washington selects:
Lawrence Jackson, DE, USC
Calais Campbell disappointed by his performance and Washington opts to go with Jackson. He has a similar make-up to that of LaVar Arrington and could project well as either an end or a linebacker in any defense.
Twenty-second overall, Dallas selects:
Dominique Rodgers-Cromartie, DB, Tennessee State
Rodgers-Cromartie could wind up being the next best thing since Deion Sanders in Big D. His cover skills are unquestioned but against weaker competition. Only time will tell if he can translate into the NFL.
Twenty-third overall, Pittsburgh selects:
James Hardy, WR, Indiana
Big Ben gets another possession target to throw to. Heath Miller impressed and Santonio Holmes came into his own. Hines Ward gets to groom his eventual successor.
Twenty-fourth overall, Tennessee selects:
Aqib Talib, DB, Kansas
Tennesee needs a strong DB talent because of Pacman's inability to get back on the field. While they found some success, they are not equipped to succeed at the next level. Talib could make things easier.
Twenty-fifth overall, Seattle selects:
Felix Jones, RB, Arkansas
Felix Jones showed that he can be a great threat in two-back system. The acquisition of Julius Jones and adding Felix to the mix spells the end of Alexander in Seattle.
Twenty-sixth overall, Jacksonville selects,
Kentwan Balmer, DT, North Carolina
Marcus Stroud is gone and the Jaguars found great defensive success with two very good defensive tackles. Balmer could very well be that second great DT they need to succeed.
Twenty-seventh overall, San Diego selects,
Gosder Cherilus, OT, Boston College
Cherilus protected Matt Ryan and now he gets to protect Philip Rivers because they know that they need him. Rivers being protected equals success in the passing game while giving Tomlinson avenues to run.
Twenty-eighth overall, Dallas selects,
Kenny Phillips, S, Miami [Fl.]
Roy Williams has been on a steady decline and Phillips is the next great safety in the Hurricane pedigree. He can step in Day-One and challenge Williams for his spot.
Twenty-ninth overall, San Francisco selects,
Calais Campbell, DE, Miami [Fl.]
Campbell can help an already improving defensive unit in San Francisco. He can pass-rush and open up lanes for Patrick Willis to do his damage behind the opposition's front line.
Thirtieth overall, Green Bay selects,
Brian Brohm, QB, Louisville
Some analysts believe that Rodgers isn't the answer to Brett Favre's departure, so they draft someone to compete with him. Brohm is the 2nd best prospect between Matt Ryan and could be Favre's successor.
Thirty-first overall, New York [Giants] select,
Brandon Flowers, DB, Virginia Tech
The secondary was a big issue even with Aaron Ross asserting his talents. They draft a complement to him and can finally find some stability in that defensive secondary.
Second Round
Miami selects,
Malcolm Kelly, WR, Oklahoma
Kelly's poor workouts cost him some positions, but his talent remains at the top of the WR class. Questions about his durability need to be answered but he can play if he is healthy.
St. Louis selects,
Desean Jackson, WR, California
Isaac Bruce is gone so another playmaker is needed for Bulger. Jackson is much more than a receiver. He is a prolific special teams player which gives him a dimension very few people have.
Atlanta selects,
Dustin Keller, TE, Purdue
Keller is the top rated tight end and should provide some services that Alge Crumpler has foregone since his release. He can also provide a receiving threat for new QB Matt Ryan.
Kansas City selects,
Sam Baker, OT, USC
Baker is the pick here because of the need to solidify their line. Baker could easily find himself a starter alongside Ryan Clady.
New York [Jets] select,
Ray Rice, RB, Rutgers
Rice could very easily find himself in the starting mix for the Jets. He may not be the biggest back, but he can do damage with the best of them. Look for him to supplant Thomas Jones by Week 6.
Atlanta selects,
Antoine Cason, DB, Arizona
Cason could very well be better than DeAngelo Hall. Cason comes in and starts alongside Jimmy Williams.
Baltimore selects,
Justin King, DB, Penn State
For the same reason they draft McKelvin is the same reason they draft King. Injuries were a concern and both Rolle and McAllister are on the wrong side of 30.
San Francisco selects,
Trevor Laws, DT, Notre Dame
Bryant Young isn't getting any younger and Laws could be heir to the position he leaves behind. Laws could learn from him and develop alongside an ever-leaping defense.
New Orleans selects,
Quentin Groves, DE, Auburn
Will Smith has become too high-profile in the defense and Groves could alternate with him to be a one-two punch on a defensive rush.
Denver selects,
Reggie Smith, DB, Oklahoma
Of the higher profile safeties in the draft, Denver selects Smith. He came from a big school with stiff competition. Lynch needs somebody to carry the load he leaves behind.
Carolina selects,
Joe Flacco, QB, Delaware
Delhomme isn't getting any younger and quarterback is one of the positions that needs to have a program to develop. Flacco comes in as a back-up but could take over when Delhomme leaves.
Chicago selects,
Chad Henne, QB, Michigan
Henne could very easily take over for Grossman as he has been too inconsistent in his tenure. Henne comes from a winning program and has newly acquired Darren McFadden to help him out.
Detroit selects,
Jordy Nelson, WR, Kansas State
Nelson gives Kitna one more target to throw at. Should Roy Williams leave via free agency or through a trade, Nelson can be ready to take over.
Cincinatti selects,
Dan Connor, OLB, Penn St.
Connor helps a defense plagued with suspensions or just very bad game performances. Marvin Lewis believes that defense is key and Connor can play.
Minnesota selects,
Mario Manningham, WR, Michigan
Troy Williamson never panned out and Minnesota lacks good receiving talent. Bernard Berrian was brought in but the load cannot be shouldered by him alone.
Atlanta selects,
Chris Johnson, RB, East Carolina
Johnson can zoom-zoom-zoom all over the field and is very dangerous if he gets let loose. Michael Turner hasn't shown that he can shoulder the load for a full season so he'll need help.
Philadelphia selects,
Tyvon Branch, DB, Connecticut
Branch is selected here under the notion that Sheppard or Sheldon Brown is gone. Branch can learn in a nickel spot until he is ready to compete for a starting job.
Tampa Bay selects,
Patrick Lee, DB, Auburn
Lee comes in and helps an ailing defensive secondary. Lee could also be of some use on special teams.
Pittsburgh selects,
Anthony Collins, OT, Kansas
Collins is by no means a premiere offensive line prospect but there is a need for him in Pittsburgh. That need gives him an opportunity to succeed.
Tennessee selects,
Cliff Avril, DE, Purdue
Avril's presence on the Titans' squad means that they are not completely sure that Jevon Kearse can be the dominant rusher he once was.
Seattle selects,
Martellus Bennett, TE, Texas A&M
Bennett will come in behind Pollard and deliver where he cannot. Pollard, at best, is a mere average tight end while Bennett can be something special.
Green Bay selects,
Oniel Cousins, OT, U.T.E.P
Green Bay isn't getting any younger up front and Cousins can be a developmental player to breed behind ailing Tauscher and Clifton
Miami selects,
Earl Bennett, WR, Vanderbilt
Parcells feels that he has to have a "Terry Glenn" type player everywhere he goes and Bennett is the man here. Because Early Doucet is gone and Andre Caldwell just isn't very durable or very trusty with big catches.
Jacksonville selects,
Dre Moore, DT, Maryland
Moore and Balmer can alternate the first year or so until they can determine who the more clear-cut attacker is. This also can make John Henderson expendable in later years.
Indianapolis selects,
Erin Henderson, OLB, Maryland
Cato June leaving and the search for his replacement continues. While their squad has been servicable, nobody really stands out. Henderson can at least add his name to the mix.
Green Bay selects,
Charles Godfrey, DB, Iowa
Godfrey is physical, much like Al Harris and Charles Woodson so it makes sense for them to draft a player with similar traits.
Dallas selects,
Jerome Simpson, WR, Coastal Carolina
Coming from a small school doesn't do well for you, but he has the natural ability to be a star. He has the bulk, necessary speed, and hands to make the plays and muscle to them.
New England selects,
Antwaun Molden, DB, Eastern Kentucky
Molden impressed at the Combine much like Rodgers-Cromartie did. Molden may take some time to develop, but in that time could very well be Samuel's successor.
New York [Giants] select,
Tavares Gooden, OLB, Miami [Fl.]
Gooden is another good LB out of the U. He should be able to rival Kiwanuka at the position because his play is still questionable.
Jake Long, OL, Michigan
Parcells needs someone to anchor a shaky offensive line and this guy could very well be him. John Beck will need protection if he is to be the QB of the future for the Dolphins.
Second overall, St. Louis selects:
Vernon Gholston, DE, Ohio State

There you have it... take it, pick it apart, do what you will... just my opinion of how things go down until Draft Day.
