NFL Mocks - Inaugural Mock Draft

Team 1st Round

Miami Logo

1. Miami Dolphins - DT Glenn Dorsey, LSU

  • The Dolphins need more than just a DT, but they can only pick one player here. Dorsey is their man. He could fill a void at DT for the next 8-10 years. This would be the choice for the Dolphins unless they decide to move back and acquire more picks, something that might not be such a bad idea.

New England Patriots Draft Logo

2. New England Patriots (From 49ers) - RB Darren McFadden, Arkansas

  • This really seems unfair. Do they really need him? Can you imagine what Belicheat would be doing on goalline situations with him. Think Houston Nutt got creative, then just wait until you see this.

Atlanta Falcons Draft Logo

3. Atlanta Falcons - QB Brian Brohm, Louisville

  • The Falcons need a quarterback and Brohm has the best probability of becoming an elite NFL QB. Even though Petrino is gone, the Falcons won’t get burned by this Cardinal.

St. Louis Rams Draft Logo

4. St. Louis Rams - OT Jake Long, Michigan

  • The Rams offensive line was so bad this year it cost them several key injuries to their star players. Orlando Pace has shown signs of age, and this is a position that can make or break a team.

NY Jets Draft Logo

5. New York Jets - DE Chris Long, Virgina

  • Long just had a monster year at UVA and the Jets need a monster on defense. They missed out on McFadden and Brohm, but will not miss out on this stud.

Ravens Logo

6. Baltimore Ravens - QB Andre’ Woodson, Kentucky

  • I had Willis McGahee on my fantasy team this season and let me tell you it was painful watching them offensively at times. The Ravens have to get some fresh blood at QB and Troy Smith isn’t that answer.

Kansas City Chiefs Draft Logo

7. Kansas City Chiefs - DT Sedrick Ellis , USC

  • The Chiefs better hope they can lose a few more and get a higher pick so they can snag Long. At the 7 spot they will most likely take the best CB, OL, or DT available. The defense was exposed in the middle-to-late portion of the season. Ellis will help solidify an already emerging DL.

Oakland Raiders Draft Logo

8. Oakland Raiders - RB Jonathan Stewart , Oregon

  • The Raiders got their QB last year and think they might have something with Justin Fargas. That won’t scare Al Davis from taking another RB in this draft. Fargas and Stewart would give the Raiders an exciting backfield.

Chicago Bears Draft Logo

9. Chicago Bears - QB Matt Ryan, Boston College

  • The Bears might decide to resign Rex Grossman, but that doesn’t mean they won’t draft a QB. The Bears were plagued by injures this season and believe that if they have the right signal caller they can make it back to the Big Show.

Eagles Logo

10. Philadelphia Eagles - OT Sam Baker, USC

  • The Eagles O-line this season has been one of the worst they have ever had. This is one of the main reasons they are going to miss the playoffs and head coach Andy Reid might get fired. Andy or not, they will need to protect their QB. Baker is a good choice here.

Cincinnati Bengals Draft Logo

11. Cincinnati Bengals - ILB James Laurinaitis, Ohio State

  • A team with probably the worst linebacking core in the league needs to add a difference maker. Laurinaitis is the premier middle linebacker in this draft. He will help sure up the middle of the defense.

Carolina Panthers Draft Logo

12. Carolina Panthers - S Kenny Phillips, Miami

  • The Panthers just missed out on their guy Laurinaitis. Phillips is going to make a ton of plays for whoever he plays for, especially the Panthers. They are already 12th in the league at pass defense, but adding Phillips might bring back the Defense they used to have.

Houston Texans Draft Logo

13. Houston Texans - CB Malcom Jenkins, Ohio State

  • Jenkins will give them a shut-down corner they have never had. Surprisingly, he has dropped this far and I am not sure he will be here at this point once we get closer to the actual draft.

Arizona Cardinals Draft Logo

14. Arizona Cardinals - DE Vernon Gholston, Ohio State

  • The Cardinals could always use help on defense and Gholston will give them a solid DE. He could even move up to a top 10 pick determining on how his workouts go.

Detroit Lions Draft Logo

15. Detroit Lions - OT Ryan Clady, Boise State

  • The Lions have already given up 52 sacks this season, most in the NFL. The Lions will most likely miss the playoffs and lots of that is because of their pass protection.

Washington Redskins Draft Logo

16. Washington Redskins - WR DeSean Jackson, Cal

  • It seems like the Redskins add a WR ever year by free agency or trade. Moss is getting older, Randle El hasn’t lived up to the hype, and their still playing guys like Thrash and McCardell.

New Orleans Saints Draft Logo

17. New Orleans Saints - DB Reggie Smith, Oklahoma

  • Being ranked 29th in pass defense will force the Saints to do something about that weakness. I have Smith here over Talib because Smith could play both safety and corner.

Denver Broncos Draft Logo

18. Denver Broncos - OLB/MLB Dan Conner, Penn State

  • Al Wilson has been a huge loss for the Broncos. They will look to Conner to bring back the Super Bowl-caliber defense they used to have.

Tennesse Titans Draft Logo

19. Tennessee Titans - WR Malcom Kelly, Oklahoma

  • Vince Young needs a WR and needs one BAD! Malcom Kelly is 6-foot-4 and 217 pounds, which gives VY a big target that can catch unlike some other Titan WRs.

Minnesota Vikings Draft Logo

20. Minnesota Vikings - DE Derrick Harvey, Florida

  • Williams and Williams already have the middle of the line taken care of (#1 rush defense in the NFL). All they need to do better is rush the passer. Harvey will add to an already dominating defensive line.

Buffalo Bills Draft Logo

21. Buffalo Bills - WR Limus Sweed, Texas

  • Sweed gives the Bills the big target they will need for Edwards and to help open up Lee Evans. Adding Sweed could be a big thing for this offense and they might explode like the Browns did this season.
Dallas Cowboys Draft Logo 22. Dallas Cowboys (From Browns) - CB Aqib Talib, Kansas

  • Dallas made a great trade last year and it should pay off for them this season. They need a corner that can play the other side to T-New. Newman is from Kansas State and Talib from Kansas, making it a divided house.

San Diego Chargers Draft Logo

23. San Diego Chargers - OLB Keith Rivers, USC

  • Rey Maualuga would have been a great pick for the Chargers, but he has decided to go back to USC for another year. I think the Chargers missed Donnie Edwards and need to add to the linebacking core.

Tampa Bay Bucanneers Draft Logo

24. Tampa Bay Bucanneers - WR James Hardy, Indiana

  • Gruden loves big WR that can make plays. Uh, and if you dont think he is big, check 6-foot-7 220 pounds (Phil the Show Killer rings bell). Galloway is getting older (still amazing me with his play), Clayton hasn’t panned out, and this could be a great addition to an emerging offense.

New York Giants Draft Logo

25. New York Giants - OT Jeffery Otah, Pittsburgh

  • The Giants still have faith in Eli, which I think they should. They will want to continue to beef up his protection by adding Otah. (Hey, once Peyton stopped getting hit he became an elite QB, it could happen)

Jacksonville Jaguars Draft Logo

26. Jacksonville Jaguars - WR Adarius Bowman, Oklahoma State

  • None of the other three WRs they have drafted have panned out. Their running game is one of the best in the leagues, and Garrad is playing mistake-free football. If he just had a little more talent at WR this offense would be scary.

Pittsburgh Steelers Draft Logo

27. Pittsburgh Steelers - CB Mike Jenkins, South Florida

  • Pittsburgh could go WR here, but I think Tomlin would like to add to his defense to keep them as one of the best in the “L”.

Seattle Seahawks Draft Logo

28. Seattle Seahawks - RB Felix Jones, Arkansas

  • Shhhhh… The Seahawks don’t want this to get out. Morris and Alexander are not cutting it, and Felix Jones posses 4.3 speed as a RB. Jones could actually help Alexander resurrect his career and get the Seahawks back to the Super Bowl.

San Francisco 49ers Draft Logo

29. San Francisco 49ers (From Colts) - QB Colt Brennan, Hawaii

  • This might be a bit early for Brennan (depending whom you ask), but the 49ers have had it with Alex Smith. Now let’s just see if they can get him some WRs to throw to.

Green Bay Packers Draft Logo

29. Green Bay Packers - DT Pat Sims, Auburn

  • The Packers really have plenty of options here. They could go with about any position other than WR or QB. I think they will want to add to the middle of their defense, and Pat Sims will be a big problem for offensive lines.

Dallas Cowboys Draft Logo

30. Dallas Cowboys - WR Early Doucet, LSU

  • The Cowboys waited on a WR and it paid off. I really think they can’t lose here by picking CB/WR or WR/CB. It will all depend on who is there at the spots they draft.

New England Patriots Draft Logo

FORFEITED

  1. Please change the Raven’s Logo!

  2. i like colt brennan in the 1st round…tampa bay may look at him 2…or if he falls 2 the 2nd and atlanta doesn’t pick a qb in the 1st round look 4 him 2 go there

  3. Kevin, sorry I didn’t know a logo could cause so much frustration. I am looking for a new one :)

  4. Ian -

    I think Colt has continue to impress his doubters. I think some other tests will be his bowl game and workouts. If he continues to do well he could even move higher up in the first.

  5. if the packers draft a DT i will go irrate. look for them to go with a corner or what i really think they should do is draft an outside linebacker like keith rivers to replace brady poppinga.

  6. Corner would be another good option for the Packers with their two guys getting older (not showing it much though). Like I said I think the Packers are in an excellent position that will allow them to go in various directions.

    Thanks guys for commenting, and welcome to the site! We just launched yesterday/today so please keep coming back.

  7. Stewart to the Raiders at #8 are you serious??? Do your homework

  8. 49ers won’t draft QB Colt Brennan with 1st pick. That makes too much sense. And would require actual thought & strategy. No, best case scenario is 49ers stumble on Brennan. 49ers are only good enough to copying schemes from other teams. I think they’ll copy Browns plan from last year. OT 1st pick and then slide in and take Brennan with 2nd pick of 2nd round. Less $$ QB and you still get your stud lineman. Thanks Romeo for help.

  9. X, yes, Stewart to the Raiders. Don’t act like the Raiders don’t do kooky stuff all the time. Two words: Al Davis. And as productive as Huggy Jr. has been, would they have brought in Dominic Rhodes last offseason if they believed in him that much? Plus, Michael Bush hasn’t even stepped on an NFL field yet.

    Thanks for the input and stopping by, but just because you disagree doesn’t mean we didn’t do our homework.

  10. Nice thoughts, JRL. I like that plan. Well, unless someone steals Colt out from under you. We are actually thinking he could be one of the draft’s highest risers, too.

  11. The Eagles logo could be better too. Here is the Eagles head logo.

    Also andy Reid is in no danger at all of losing his job. Just thought I would let you know.

  12. I have changed the logos for you whiners :) Thanks again

  13. Oooohhhh!!! First mock I have seen giving DOucet to Dallas. I like! I like!!!

  14. I think that Mike Bush was a steal for Oakland last year. He is a better runner than Huggy bears little boy. The only reasons they might go RB in the first round, is if McFadden is available when they pick or Bush has a set back in his rehab. Stewart has a similar style to Bush so if they are looking for a thunder and lightning approach I think Bush and Fargas would be a good combo. OL or DL seems more likely to this impartial draftnik.

  15. Man, we do not need a Jonathan Stewie. Have’nt you been watching the games? Although we stopped the run fairly well today, we need to take a DE like Long or Campbell and a DT like Moore or Red in the 2nd.

  16. Ok Raider fans I understand that you don’t want J-Stew. I will make that noted for my updated mock, which should be sometime this week. The thing is with the Raiders they could take anything, hell Al might go senile and draft a QB.

  17. RIGHT PARTNER,
    Stop with the Stewie pick. We have Fargas, Bush and Rhodes so we are all good there. WE have receivers they just have to develop Holland and Higgins. Once the starters grow accustomed to the passes of Russ as opposed to noodle-armed Mc our offense will be explosive. What we need is DE, DT, SS, MLB WR RB OT in that order. Fill in the player if available we should draft. Note: We have no 3rd or 5th rd selection.

  18. the niners need and offensive coordinator james hardy or manningham at 30 then a pass rusher at 5,6,7 in the 2 round and let someone slip and get them

  19. You might have Rhodes and Jordan now, but at least if not both will be gone after this season (not that they have been great for Oakland). So RB might still be need since Bush has shown he is still not ready to overcome his injury.

    T-MO, I like Hardy more than Manningham. Manningham’s stock has been going down for me. Reminds me of other Michigan WRs that have become busts.

  20. No way in hell the 9ers take Colt in the 1st round. This just shows me that you haven’t watched much SF this year. There is a reason that Gore isn’t running like last year. There is a reason why they are on their 3rd string QB and have given up the 3rd most sacks in the league. The O-Line SUCKS! They draft an O-Lineman with the first pick unless a defensive player is left on the board that should have gone sooner.

  21. Jdogg -

    I hear ya, but there is also a reason why they are on their third string QB. I think that since they drafted Staley last year, they might add to their OL by free agency, since they have the cap room to do so. They do need OL help I just think they can get the same OL with their 2nd round pick. They could also take an OL in the 1st then take a QB in the second. A very good DL could be around then too.

  22. Our offense is not that bad just a receiver in the third(via trade) or the 4th. Our D which can’t stop anyone especially when we have the lead in the 4th must be addressed. A lethal combo of DE/DT would wreck havoc on offensive lineman and who better than C. Campbell and Dre Moore will do just that. With our OL we can plug any undrafted FA in at RB and he will shine. We have the chance to bolster our inept D and be “RECOMMITTED TO EXCELLENCE”

  23. What do thik of the Ravens dropping down and picking up maybe a 3rd & 4th rd pick from someone needing to move up. then using that 1st rd to take one of the elite CB’s and in the 2nd taking a deep threat WR to stretch the feild, ala A.Bowman, or L.Sweed and back to CB in the 3rd rd where one of the small school corners could still be lingering around. Please give me feedback, because it was sickening watching my boys go down in flames this year.

  24. Mark -

    I think that is a good option if the Ravens sign a FA QB. If they don’t go after a QB in free agency I feel that they will keep their pick and go after one because I dont feel like McNair is going to rebound and we all know what Kyle Boller brings to the table.

    They will need to address the corner and wide reciever position as well. Mason is still playing well, but he is getting older. The biggest thing is that the need a QB who can get the ball to Heap (when he isnt injured), Mason and Clayton, and keep 8-9 guys from being inside the box.

  25. Are you going to update your mock or should I call you an idiot now?

  26. Justin, I have actually had 3 new mock drafts since this one, but thanks for looking out.

  27. […] First off, we have a new pet project that we think Chiefs fans — and all NFL fans, for that matter — will dig. It’s a site that revolves around the NFL Draft, with original mock drafts, mock draft databases, draft history, prospect profiles, video, etc… The site just went up this week, so right now it’s kind of like the Death Star from Return of the Jedi — fully functional but far from complete. Go get a sneak peak. - NFL Mocks […]
