Mock Draft 1.0

As the 2010 NFL draft (April 22-24) draws nearer, there continues to be more and more speculation as to who will go where in this years draft. So, before the combine is over and players fall and rise based on their 40 yard dash times, I'm going to give my idea as to who each team will take with their respective picks.

1. St. Louis Rams
Ndamukong Suh, DT- With a team that needs help at basically every position except running back, the Rams will take the best possible player on the board.

2. Detroit Lions
Gerald McCoy, DT- In just about the same position as the Rams, they'll take the best player on the board in a draft dominated by outstanding linemen.

3. Tampa Bay Buccaneers
Derrick Morgan, DE- The Bucs are looking for a dominant defensive lineman to anchor a rebuilding defense, and Morgan should do a solid job of that.

4. Washington Redskins
Sam Bradford, QB- With Jason Campbell's run in D.C. just about over, the Skins are looking to find a new franchise quarterback and Bradford seems to be the best option.

5. Kansas City Chiefs
Russell Okong, OT- Branden Albert has been inconsistent at best, so look for the Chiefs to give Matt Cassell better blocking by drafting one of the valuable tackles with their early pick.

6. Seattle Seahawks
Jason Pierre-Paul, DE- In an attempt to bolster a weak pass rush led by 33-year-old Patrick Kerney, the Seahawks go for a proven force at defensive end.

7. Cleveland Browns
Joe Haden, CB- The Florida star will add immediately help in a defensive backfield that struggled to keep offenses out of the endzone all year.

8. Oakland Raiders
Anthony Davis, OT- It will be nearly impossible to give any quarterback a chance to run the Raiders' offense with Mario Henderson starting at tackle. Immediate upgrade with Davis.

9. Buffalo Bills
Bruce Campbell, OT- With the sudden lose of Brad Butler to the world of politics, the Bills will be looking to solidify the tackle position.

10. Jacksonville Jaguars
Brandon Graham, DE/OLB- Although it might be a little early for Graham to come off the board, this hybrid player can become a playmaker if given the time and opportunity.

11. Denver Broncos
Dez Bryant, WR- Following the likelihood that Brandon Marshall leaves, Bryant looks to be the best option at taking over the #1 receiver spot and could be the spark the Broncos offense needs.

12. Miami Dolphins
Rolando McClain, ILB- Even with a somewhat weak ILB class, the Dolphins are desperate and will take the best player available at the position, McClain.

13. San Francisco 49ers
Eric Berry, S- Considering they have a second pick only a few picks later, they take the best player on the board, Berry, who will be surprised to make it this far down without getting picked.

14. Seattle Seahawks
Jimmy Clausen, QB- Even though a OT would be tempting, Carroll needs a QB to build his team around and should go with Clausen with his second pick of the round.

15. New York Giants
Brian Price, DT- Not the ideal position for Price, the G-Men need a DT desperately and will take the best available at this point.

16. San Francisco 49ers
Bryan Bulaga, OT- With numerous questions at the tackle position, the niners will solidify the offensive line and take the big Iowa boy with their second pick.

17. Tennessee Titans
Kyle Wilson, CB- With no outstanding DE talent still on the board, the Titans will strenghten their secondary with an excellent cover man in Wilson.

18. Pittsburgh Steelers
Dan Williams, DT- Nose tackle is a pressing need for the Steelers, and Williams should be able to fill that void relatively quickly.

19. Atlanta Falcons
Carlos Dunlap, DE- The Falcons had one of the lowest sack totals and will look to upgrade their defensive line with Dunlap.

20. Houston Texans
Earl Thomas, CB/S- With the lose of Dunta Robinson a big possibility, look for the Texans to draft some secondary insurance with a promising player in Thomas.

21. Cincinnati Bengals
Jermaine Gresham, TE- Adding an extra offensive weapon will help give Carson Palmer another way to air the ball out and allow the Bengals another run at the playoffs.

22. New England Patriots
Sergio Kindle, OLB- A solid pass rushing linebacker who will allow the Pats to depend on someone other than Tully Banta-Cain to put pressure on opposing quarterbacks.

23. Green Bay Packers
Trent Williams, OT- With an offensive line that struggled to give quarterback Aaron Rodgers time to throw, adding a player like Williams will give the O-line and Rodgers some confidence.

24. Philadelphia Eagles
Everson Griffen, DE- Trent Cole did an outstanding job at getting to the quarterback this year, and will do even better in 2010 with another good pass rusher on the other side of the line.

25. Baltimore Ravens
Mardy Gilyard, WR- Unless the Ravens make some blockbuster move to pick up a #1 receiver, Gilyard has proven that he can be a dangerous receiver, something Joe Flacco desperately needs.

26. Arizona Cardinals
Jerry Hughes, DE/OLB- With big names at OT off the board, the Cards will look to get some pressure from the linebacker position with outstanding pass-rusher Hughes.

27. Dallas Cowboys
Mike Iupati, G- Kyle Kosier is not getting the job done, and having a solid, new guard will only upgrade an already outstanding offense.

28. San Diego Chargers
CJ Spiller, RB- With the lose of Ladainian Tomlinson, the Chargers are going to be too tempted to pass up such a home-run threat with Spiller.

29. New York Jets
Jared Odrick, DT- The defensive line is getting old, so the Jets will inject some youth into the D-line with a young, promising player in Odrick.

30. Minnesota Vikings
Taylor Mays, S- The secondary was a major concern for the Vikings this past season, and the potential in Mays will be too hard to pass up this late in the round.

31. Indianapolis Colts
Charles Brown, OT- They need a franchise left tackle, and Brown should prove to be just that given the right amount of coaching and opportunity with the Colts.

32. New Orleans Saints
Sean Witherspoon, OLB- The Saints need to surround Jonathan Vilma with more talent, and they can do exactly that by picking an outstanding linebacker like Witherspoon with the final pick of the first round.

So there you go. Mock Draft 2.0 soon to come after the combine has concluded.
