Well it’s still summer time and the writers at NFL Mocks are already looking towards next year’s draft.  We have our 2011 NFL Draft Prospect Big Board and many Scouting Reports.  But now it’s time to get to the always controversial Mock Draft.  We have spend some considerable time developing the below draft order.  The order is going to bring a lot of discussion and angry feelings, but we did our best to simulate the entire 2010-2011 NFL Season.  We are going to maintain this draft order for a few weeks and then do another simulation.  Then when the season starts we will utilize the up to date standings to develop our Draft Order.  Please keep in mind that we are early in the process and we have a long way until the 2011 NFL Draft, but let’s have some fun.  As usual we love to see feedback.  This is the first Mock for NFLMocks by writer Jason Madson  you will notice that the Mocks will be completed by all of our staff.

1         Buffalo Bills (2-14)- Jake Locker- QB- Washington- Scouting Report

-          Its no secret that the Bills need to find a long term answer at the quarterback position.  As of right now Locker is our top rated quarterback and top rated player.

2         St. Louis Rams (2-14)- AJ Green- WR- Georgia- Scouting Report

-          Surrounding Sam Bradford with the right pieces has to be the number one goal for the Rams organization.  Green is a major playmaker and has drawn comparisons to Randy Moss.

3         Detroit Lions (2-14)- Gabe Carimi- OT- Wisconsin- Team Needs Report, Scouting Report

-          Protecting Matthew Stafford should be the number one priority.  He is the future of the Lions franchise.  Carimi gives the Lions a super-sized  security blanket for Stafford.

4         Tampa Bay Bucs (3-13)- Julio Jones- WR- Alabama- Scouting Report, Team Needs

-          The Bucs need to continue to surround Josh Freeman with talented playmakers and Jones is just that.  It is important to note that this pick may change depending on the development of 2010 draftees Benn and Mike Williams.

5         Cleveland Browns (4-12)- Robert Quinn- DE/OLB- UNC- Scouting Report

-          Each year we see the importance of having a good pass rush and the Browns are in desperate need of a pass rush.  Robert Quinn has a ton of potential and could easily be a double digit sack guy for his entire career.

6         Kansas City Chiefs (4-12)- Bruce Carter- OLB- UNC-  Team Needs

-        The Chiefs need to bring more heat from the outside in the 3-4.  Tamba Hali can’t do it by himself, so Carter is the pick here.  He adds more athleticism to the Chiefs defense.

7         Denver Broncos (5-11)- Patrick Peterson- CB- LSU – Scouting Report, Team Needs

-         Champ Bailey is still a very good CB, but he is getting older.  Peterson is the top corner in this draft and with all the pass happy offenses in the NFL, the Broncos could use some help.

8        Jacksonville Jaguars (5-11)- Ryan Mallett- QB- Arkansas- Scouting Report

-        I’m not sold on David Garrard, and I believe that the Jaguars are about done with him too.  Mallett has too much talent to pass up at this point for Jacksonville.  Let’s hope the Jaguars don’t try to transform this Arkansas QB into a WR.

9         Seattle Seahawks (5-11)- Marvin Austin- DL- UNC- Scouting Report

-          The Seahawks need a playmaker on the defensive line, and Austin is that guy.  He will create pressure and collapse the pocket for the underachieving Seahawk defensive ends.

10    New England Patriots from Oakland Raiders (6-10)- Cameron Heyward- DE- Ohio St- Scouting Report

-          Cameron Heyward is an elite talent, and he happens to fit perfectly into the Patriots 3-4 defense at the five.  He can have a similar impact as Richard Seymour in this defense.
