2010 NFL Mock Draft: Round One

Round One | Round Two

St. Louis Rams - Ndamukong Suh, DT, Nebraska
Suh is the best player in the draft and the best suited to make an impact from day one. His presence could help two former first round picks - Chris Long and Adam Carriker – raise their level of play.
Detroit - Gerald McCoy, DT, Oklahoma
Just miss out on Suh, but McCoy is a nice fall back option. Adding a playmaker to the defense will be a nice change for a team that has spent ten of their last 11 picks on the offensive side of the ball.
Tampa Bay - Eric Berry, DB, Tennessee
If a DT is available, that is where the Bucs go. With both gone, Berry is headed to Tampa, and he can provide them with playmaking ability at any spot in the secondary.
Washington - Jimmy Clausen, QB, Notre Dame
The Skins were in the Mark Sanchez sweepstakes last year, but were unable to make a deal. This year, they get their choice of the quarterbacks. They opt for Clausen over Sam Bradford, in large part because of his experience in a pro style offense and arm strength.
Kansas City - Russell Okung, OT, Oklahoma St.
Finding a left tackle to protect Matt Cassel’s blindside is objective #1 this off season. Not only will Okung stabilize the left tackle position, but he allows Branden Albert to move inside to guard or shift to right tackle, where he is better suited.
Seattle - Sam Bradford, QB, Oklahoma
If Carroll is to be successful, he needs a QB. Grabbing one now is imperative, so that they can sit behind Matt Hasselbeck and not be rushed into action. Bradford may not be the most physically gifted QB prospect, but he’s solid across the board and has all the intangibles to be successful.
Cleveland - Rolando McClain, LB, Alabama
McClain is the type of middle linebacker you can build a defense around. For a team that needs help up the middle and needs a defensive leader, you couldn’t ask for a better prospect at this point.
Oakland - Bruce Campbell, OT, Maryland
There may be more highly regarded tackles still available, but that hasn’t stopped the Raiders before. Campbell is a freak athlete, and that’s all Al Davis needs to hear.
Buffalo - Anthony Davis, OT, Rutgers
Davis has an excellent blend of athleticism, size and power and would step in immediately at left tackle for a Bills team needing serious line help.

Jacksonville - Derrick Morgan, DE, Georgia Tech
Two years ago the Jags took Derrick Harvey and Quentin Groves with their top two picks. The duo combined for just two sacks this season. Morgan brings big time pass rush ability but also a motor that doesn’t stop. That should allow him to make an impact early in his career, while solving the Jags pass rush problems.

Denver(from Chicago) - Dez Bryant, WR, Oklahoma St.
Brandon Marshall appears to be on his way out in Denver. With his departure, the team needs a go-to performer at wide receiver for Orton to count on.
Miami - Sergio Kindle, OLB, Texas
Bill Parcells loves his edge rushers. From LT to Willie McGinest to John Abraham and DeMarcus Ware, he has found an explosive pass rusher everywhere he’s been. Kindle has the talent to be a standout as well.
San Francisco - Joe Haden, CB, Florida
Haden has shut down potential, and could be what Nate Clements was a couple years ago.
Seattle(from Denver) - Trent Williams, OT, Oklahoma
Williams has experience at both left and right tackle, but definitely has the athleticism to play on the left side and in a zone blocking system.
NY Giants - Brian Price, DT, UCLA
Price is a load in the middle, and must be accounted for on every snap. He has a great first step into the backfield and once he gets a step on you, he’s making a play. He also has shown the ability to hold up at the point of attack to clog running lanes, so he is an all around DT prospect.
Tennessee - Everson Griffen, DE, USC
Griffen has the type of athleticism, speed, and pass rush ability to remind Titan fans of Jevon Kearse during his first go round with the team.
San Francisco(from Carolina) - CJ Spiller, RB, Clemson
Singletary has added some solid weapons to the offense but they still lack a game breaker. Spiller’s home run ability as a receiver and runner will be a great fit in the Niner offense.
Pittsburgh - Mike Iupati, OL, Idaho
Iupati projects as a standout guard, but may also be able to play right tackle. Whatever position he plays, his nastiness will be a welcomed addition to the Steeler OL.
Atlanta - Brandon Graham, DE, Michigan
Graham combined a very good senior season with a dominating Senior Bowl performance. With John Abraham on the wrong side of 30, it’s time to add some youth to the pass rush.
Houston - Dan Williams, DT, Tennessee
The Texans have spent a lot of picks on the defensive side of the ball lately, and that trend continues. Williams has the ability to be a true nose tackle, which should help the front seven reach it’s full potential.
Cincinnati - Taylor Mays, S, USC
Mays played free safety at USC, but will most likely play SS in the NFL. He is as talented as they come, but also brings toughness and hitting ability to the field.
New England - Jared Odrick, DT, Penn St.
The Patriots use to be known for their defense, but age has caught up with them and many of the past stars are gone. Upgrading the front seven is a must this off season. There will be pass rushers available, but Odrick is the perfect fit at end in a 3-4 alignment and should fill Richard Seymour’s shoes very well.
Green Bay - Bryan Bulaga, OT, Iowa
Keeping Aaron Rodgers healthy is of the utmost importance, and Bulaga would be a great fit for their system.
Philadelphia - Carlos Dunlap, DE, Florida
Dunlap may have maturity and consistency issues, but you don’t find too many players with his combination of size and athleticism. He could be a steal down this low in the first round with some work.
Baltimore - Golden Tate, WR, Notre Dame
Adding Joe Flacco and Ray Rice the past two years has given the Ravens life on offense. In order for them to take the next step however, they need a playmaker at wide receiver.
Arizona - Jerry Hughes, DE/OLB, TCU
Adding some youth to their pass rush is something every team needs, especially to a team who’s top three pass rushers from the LB position are all 32 or older.
Dallas - Earl Thomas, S, Texas
Thomas is a true ballhawk in the secondary, and would fill a hole at free safety for the Cowboys. He could even potentially play corner if the need ever arises.
San Diego - Jahvid Best, RB, Cal
Best is a home run threat in every sense of the word. His ability as a true running back would fit better with LaDainian Tomlinson than Darren Sproles. Best would bring potential in the return game as well.
NY Jets - Patrick Robinson, CB, Florida St.
The offense is looking up with the additions of Mark Sanchez, Shonn Greene, and Braylon Edwards in the last year. The defense is already a great unit, but another cover man in the secondary would be a nice addition.
Minnesota - Perrish Cox, CB, Oklahoma St.
Some more youth and talent at corner was a need before Cedric Griffin tore his ACL against the Saints in the NFC Championship game.
Indianapolis - Kyle Wilson, CB, Boise St.
Depth issues have popped up at the corner spot for the Colts. They struck gold with Jerraud Powers last year, but another cover man with some toughness is what they will look to add again.
New Orleans - Sean Weatherspoon, LB, Missouri
The offense is pretty well stocked, so the Saints will look to add more talent to their playmaking defense. Adding a fast, athletic, tackling machine like Weatherspoon is just what the doctored ordered at this spot.
