Updated 2011 NFL Mock Draft: 12/02/10
By Editorial Staff
26. Chicago Bears- Drake Nevis- DT LSU
– I know, I know the Bears need help on the offensive line but I just don’t see any real great value at this point in the draft. Plus it’s no secret that the Bears are built around their defense which is still looking to replace Tommie Harris at the 3 technique spot. Nevis arguably has the quickest first step in College Football and his ability to get in the backfield is right up Lovie Smith’s alley.
.
27. Baltimore Ravens- Aaron Williams- CB Texas
– The Ravens secondary has been a real problem this season. It’s not a matter of health its all about talent and bringing Aaron Williams into the fold would be a wise move.
.
28. New York Jets- Adrian Clayborn- DE Iowa
– Clayborn is just too talented to get much further down in the draft. He has the skills to fit in at the defensive end position in Rex Ryan’s 3-4 defensive scheme.
.
29. Green Bay Packers- Nate Solder- OT Colorado
– Bryan Bulaga is only one piece to the offensive line puzzle for the Packers. Keeping Aaron Rodgers healthy is the only way the Packers compete each year.
.
30. Pittsburgh Steelers- DeMarcus Love- OL Arkansas
– Adding Pouncey last season was a good move and bringing in talent at the tackle position is the next step.
.
31. New England Patriots- Cameron Heyward- DL Ohio St
– Heyward is the type of player that the Patriots love, he could come in and fill the shoes of the departed Richard Seymour. Couple this pick with their earlier selection of Julio Jones and the Patriots have added some great pieces.
.
32. Atlanta Falcons- Curtis Brown- CB Texas
– The Falcons remain in a division with the pass happy Saints and continued addition to the secondary is a smart move.
