2010 NFL Mock Draft v3.0

updated on January 5th

1.	St-Louis Rams	Ndamukong Suh - DT - Nebraska 6-4, 300 pounds last pick : Ndamukong Suh
With Spagnuolo at the helm, the Rams will certainly go defense. Ndamukong Suh is the best player in this draft and, as Peter King said, is the best defensive player that came out of college this decade. A sure fire number one pick that will anchor the Rams line for years to come.
2.	Detroit Lions	Gerald McCoy - DT - Oklahoma 6-4, 297 pounds last pick : Eric Berry
Two picks, two defensive tackles. McCoy is a great player, with size, speed and strenght and he will help in the run defense and keep linemans off the linebackers.
3.	Tampa Bay Buccaneers	Eric Berry - S - Tennessee 5-11, 203 pounds last pick : Gerald McCoy
Tampa was a great defense when John Lynch was playing there. Since him, no other player played great at the safety position. That will change with Eric Berry. He is the best athlete at his position and one of the best safeties to come out of college in a couple of years.
4.	Washington Redskins	Trent Williams - OT - Oklahoma 6-5, 318 pounds last pick : Trent Williams
The Redskins probably had one, or one of the, worst offensive line in all of football. They couldn't protect Jason Campbell nor create holes for their running backs. With Russell Okung gone, Trent Williams is the second best tackle in this draft and he would surely start from day one.
5.	Kansas City Chiefs	Russell Okung - OT - Oklahoma State 6-5, 300 pounds last pick : Russell Okung
The Chiefs have had problems on the O-Line in the last few years. Picking Okung would be the first step to get the unit back into form and keep Matt Cassell on his feets.
6.	Seattle Seahawks	Sam Bradford - QB - Oklahoma 6-4, 223 pounds last pick : Sam Bradford
Sam Bradford will probably slip because of his injuries but he still is the best QB in the draft. With Hasselback aging and being injured a lot, Bradford would be a nice insure policy to have for the next years and he would have time to develop into the starting QB.
7.	Cleveland Browns	Dez Bryant - WR - Oklahoma State 6-2, 220 pounds last pick : Dez Bryant
How can Brady Quinn truly develop without any threat at receiver? Bryant as had some issues but he is by far the best receiver in the draft and would give Quinn a great target to throw to.
8.	Oakland Raiders	Rolando McClain - LB - Alabama 6-4, 258 pounds last pick : Brandon Spikes
McClain is a freak of nature and he would bring instant playmaking habilities to the linebacking corp of the Raiders. He is big, he is fast, he is strong and he is a natural leader. Having been coached by Nick Saban will also help him make the transition to the pros easily.
9.	Buffalo Bills	Bryan Bulaga - OT - Iowa 6-6, 312 pounds last pick : Bryan Bulaga
Bulaga is skyrocketting up draft boards with a marvelous year. Since Jason Peters has left, the Bills are searching for the left tackle of the future and Bulaga just might be that guy. He's got long arms, quick feets and is a fericious blocker.
10.	Jacksonville Jaguars	Jimmy Clausen - QB - Notre-Dame 6-3, 223 pounds last pick : Jimmy Clausen
David Garrard is a good QB but has shown he may not be able to get the Jags to the other level. If Clausen is still there at this spot, it will be an easy decision for Jacksonville. Clausen is big, makes good read, has a nice touch on the ball and has shown his toughness in the last two years in ND.
11.	Denver Broncos (from Chicago)	Terrence Cody - DT - Oklahoma 6-5, 365 pounds last pick : Taylor Mays
Mount Cody is the perfect fit in a 3-4 defense. He is huge and really tough to move. He will plug the middle of the line and maybe occupy two defenders, freeing up the linebackers.
12.	Miami Dolphins	Taylor Mays - S - USC 6-3, 230 pounds last pick : Terrence Cody
Mays is reminiscent of another Trojans safety now playing for Pittsburgh (Polamalu). He may not be as dominant, but he is a ferocious hitter and an intimidating presence in the middle of the field. He would be a big upgrade over Clemons or Bell.
13.	San Francisco 49ers	Anthony Davis - OT - Rutgers 6-6, 325 pounds last pick : Selvish Capers
The 49ers defense is good and it is now turn to stabilize the offense. The first step is to get that franchise left tackle to protect the QB and give him time to make his reads. Anthony Davis is a huge guy but who also has quick feet.
14.	Seattle Seahawks (from Denver)	Jonathan Dwyer - RB - Georgia Tech 6-01, 235 pounds last pick : C.J. Spiller
The Seahawks didn't have a great running attack this year and they should pick one of the RB in the first round. The best of the bunch is Jonathan Dwyer. He may be a bit undersized but he runs like a much bigger guy and has that breakout speed to take it all the way.
15.	New York Giants	Joe Haden - CB - Florida 5-11, 190 pounds last pick : Patrick Robinson
The Giants defense, suprisingly, had a lot of problems this year and were often caused by poor coverage. Joe Haden was a great CB in college and will probably be a starting CB in the NFL from day one. He has speed, skills and is calm under pressure. He'll be one of the good cover corners of this league for years to come.
16.	Tennessee Titans	Golden Tate - WR - Notre-Dame 5-11, 195 pounds last pick : Golden Tate
Tate was the best player on the field, night in, night out for the Fighting Irish. He may be small but he plays much bigger. He also has a knack for big plays and is always around the action.
17.	San Francisco 49ers (from Carolina)	Patrick Robinson - CB - Florida State 5-11, 194 pounds last pick : Joe Haden
Alex Smith seems to be back, so I don't see the 49ers go for a QB here. Robinson will be a great cover corner that will be able to stay on an island with his guy and free up his teammates.
18.	Pittsburgh Steelers	Selvish Capers - OT - West Virginia 6-5, 298 pounds last pick : Anthony Davis
The Steelers needed offensive line help last year but didn't address that need. Now, they have to go and get a good tackle to protect Big Ben, who's been hit more and more back there. Selvish Capers is a great athlete, big, fast and bright and he will help protect Big Ben blind side.
19.	Atlanta Falcons	Carlos Dunlap - DE - Florida 6-6, 290 pounds last pick : Carlos Dunlap
The Falcons had problems bringing pressure on opposing QBs and Dunlap may be the perfect solution for them, especially if he falls that far. He is a physical specimen that reminds a lot of Javon Kearse. Dunlap and John Abraham would form a terrible duo.
20.	Houston Texans	C.J. Spiller - RB - Clemson 5-11, 195 pounds last pick : Jonathan Dwyer
The Texans loved Steve Slaton last year but he has shown he may not be the number one back the are looking for. Spiller was all over the field at Clemson, breaking big plays almost every time he touched the ball. He can hurt you running the ball, catching it and returning punts. He would bring playmaking skills to a team that really needs it on offense and special teams. A tandem of Slaton and Spiller would loosens the pressure on Matt Schaub and the aerial attack.
21.	Cincinnati Bengals	Marvin Austin - DT - UNC 6-2, 291 pounds last pick :Marvin Austin
Austin is a great athlete who developped as a first round talent in North Carolina. He has great strenght and can occupy two defenders in the middle. He would open up space for other players on the Bengals D and clog up the middle of the line.
22.	New England Patriots	Jerry Hughes - DE - TCU 6-3, 257 pounds last pick : Jerry Hughes
The Pats need to bring more pressure on QBs and Hughes is a great prospect who was a force for TCU in the last two years. He is fast around the edge and has a lot of moves to get free to get pressure. He would be a fitting replacement for Richard Seymour.
23.	New York Jets	Sergio Kindle - LB - Texas 6-4, 255 pounds last pick : Sergio Kindle
Rex Ryans loves to have good linebackers to bring pressure on QBs, like the Suggs and Lewis he had in Baltimore. Kindle is a tweener, DE / LB hybrid who is probably the best pass rusher of this drat.
24.	Baltimore Ravens	Brandon LaFell - WR - LSU 6-3, 206 pounds last pick : Brandon LaFell
The Ravens have one of the best young QB in Joe Flacco. They should bring him a prime target, especially since Derrick Mason might retire at season's end. Brandon LaFell is fast, big and will surely be a starter from day one.
25.	Arizona Cardinals	Jermaine Gresham - TE - Oklahoma 6-6, 258 pounds last pick : Jermaine Gresham
The Cards may have one of the best offense in the game but they lack a great tight end to create mismatches in the middle and free up the receivers. Gresham would have been a top 15 pick but a knee injury ended his season prematurely and Arizona would love to get him in their lineup.
26.	Philadelphia Eagles	Brandon Spikes - ILB - Florida 6-3, 258 pounds last pick : Brandon Spikes
Spikes stock fell down a bit this year even though he had a good season. He unfortunately didn't stand out in a defense that was full of stars, got hurt and also suspended. He is still a natural leader and a great player and would bring a lot to Philly.
27.	New Orleans Saints	Sean Weatherspoon - LB - Missouri 6-2, 245 pounds last pick : Sean Weatherspoon
Weatherspoon was the best player on defense for Missouri and will bring instant upgrade to a Saints defense that was suprisingly good this year. He can cover, blitz and is a great tackler.
28.	Green Bay Packers	Corey Wootton - DE - Northwestern 6-7, 280 pounds last pick : Corey Wootton
The Packers really upgraded their defense with BJ Raji and Clay Matthews last year but they still need playmakers to make their 3-4 defense great. Wootton is a great player with unbelievable physical tools. He is big, strong and fast and creates problems for any tackle trying to block him.
29.	Dallas Cowboys	Arthur Jones - DT - Syracuse 6-4, 293 pounds last pick : Arthus Jones
The Cowboys have a good team on paper but their D-Line didn't get enough pressure and it may start from the middle. Jay Ratliff is far from the best fit as the nose tackle and Arthur Jones may fit the mold perfectly. He is strong, big and would help get Ratliff back to his natural position of DE.
30.	Indianapolis Colts	Perrish Cox - CB - Oklahoma State 6-0, 198 pounds last pick : Perrish Cox
The Colts are a complete team but may need to make tough decision in the offseason. With Bob Sanders due big money, they may have to cut ties with Marlin Jackson or Antoine Betea, which would open up a spot for Perrish Cox, a great player with good vision.
31.	San Diego Chargers	Toby Gerhart - RB - Stanford 6-1, 235 pounds last pick : Arrelious Benn
The Chargers are loaded in the aerial attack with Philip Rivers and his 6-4, 6-5 receivers. Problem is, they don't have that bruiser running back to tire a defense. Gerhart would fit in nicely. He is a hard worker, a big man with good speed, he has a motor that never stops and he played not too far away at Stanford.
32.	Minnesota Vikings	Tim Tebow - QB - Florida 6-3, 245 pounds last pick : Tim Tebow
Brett Favre might play another year but he won't be here forever. Tim Tebow is probably the most intriguing prospect of the draft. He's probably the best leader of college football history. Imaging reuniting him with Percy Harvin and giving him Adrian Petterson and Sidney Rice. Scary!
