Mock Draft 2.0

After some research into players and moves by some NFL teams in the past few days, I decided to give this another go around. Also had to make sure that the draft order was correct. So here we go.

1. St. Louis Rams
Ndamukong Suh, DT- There is a solid chance that this pick could be traded considering the Rams have so many needs, but I still see them taking the best player on the board in Suh.

2. Detriot Lions
Gerald McCoy, DT- Much like the first pick, this one could be traded to fill the Lions' many needs, but one of those is DT and McCoy would be too hard to pass up.

3. Tampa Bay Buccaneers
Derrick Morgan, DE- Although Berry will definitely be considered here, the Bucs need a big time pass rusher and Morgan could give them just that.

4. Washington Redskins
Sam Bradford, QB- Jason Campbell's run in D.C. is over and new coach Mike Shanahan will be looking for the next franchise quarterback to build his team around, and his best option appears to be Bradford.

5. Kansas City Chiefs
Anthony Davis, OT- The Chiefs need an insurance policy for Cassel as well as rising star running back Jamaal Charles, which Davis will provide.

6. Seattle Seahawks
Russell Okung, OT- Even though there is a more dire need a quarterback, the Seahawks need to find their replacement for aging left tackle Walter Jones.

7. Cleveland Browns
Eric Berry, S- With so many holes and none that stand out above the rest, the Browns will look to secure a player in the mold of Ed Reed who can be a superstar.

8. Oakland Raiders
Bryan Bulaga, OT- Although the last time they picked an Iowa offensive lineman, it was somewhat of a bust, the Raiders are desperate to find someone to block for all of the offensive talent they've drafted in recent years.

9. Buffalo Bills
Bruce Campbell, OT- With the offensive line talent flying off the board, the Bills won't hesitate to take the best option remaining, especially after losing Butler unexpectedly.

10. Jacksonville Jaguars
Carlos Dunlap, DE- Even with Pierre-Paul still on the board, the Jags should go for the supreme pass-rushing defensive end out of Gainesville, where the Jags have a tendency to draft out of.

11. Denver Broncos
Dez Bryant- Considering that the Broncos will most likely not have Brandon Marshall back, they need a spark plug who can spread the field and make plays in the passing game, which Bryant can deliver immediately.

12. Miami Dolphins
Rolando McClain, ILB- With the likely loss of Porter along with aging linebackers, the Dolphins shouldn't hesitate to take the proven McClain here.

13. San Francisco 49ers
Joe Haden, CB- With another pick only 4 spots down the board, the 49ers will take the best player available at this point, and Haden should be an excellent addition to the 49ers already solid defense.

14. Seattle Seahawks
Jimmy Clausen, QB- With the OT position already solidified, Pete Carroll can now look towards rebuilding the Seahawks offense, starting with a new quarterback.

15. New York Giants
Brian Price, DT- The Giants defense is looking for a new anchor to hold down the front line, and Price can do exactly that.

16. Tennessee Titans
Jason Pierre-Paul, DE- The defensive line needs some help with the possible loss of Vanden Bosch, and with an outstanding defensive end like Pierre-Paul still on the board, he should be too hard to pass up.

17. San Francisco 49ers
Trent Williams, OT- The 49ers need some help blocking for Gore as well as to allow Alex Smith a chance to prove he can handle the starting role. With Williams in the mix, that should be a little easier to do.

18. Pittsburgh Steelers
Mike Iupati, G- With the signing of Hampton, the need for a DT isn't as big and the Steelers can look towards solidifying Big Ben's protection.

19. Atlanta Falcons
Kareem Jackson, CB- The Falcons had a tough time stopping the pass this season, and will Jackson's help, might be closer to crossing that threshold into the playoffs.

20. Houston Texans
C.J. Spiller, RB- It will be a miracle for Spiller to get this far into the draft, but the Texans need a running back bad and he will be too hard to pass up.

21. Cincinnati Bengals
Jermaine Gresham, TE- With the loss of some key offensive components last season, the Bengals will look to bolster their receiving corps by bringing in an outstanding, athletic tight end to help out Carson Palmer.

22. New England Patriots
Sergio Kindle, OLB- They need help at linebacker, especially with getting pressure on the quarterback, and Kindle fits the bill perfectly.

23. Green Bay Packers
Maurkice Pouncey, G/C- With most of the first round talent on the offensive line off the board, the Packers will take the next best player in hopes of bolstering an offensive line that struggled to protect Aaron Rodgers.

24. Philadelphia Eagles
Taylor Mays, S- The Eagles are desperate to find the replacement to Brian Dawkins, and Mays' potential would make any team drool at this point in the draft.

25. Baltimore Ravens
Arrelious Benn, WR- Unless they bring in T.O., which is unlikely, they will still need some electric receivers to help out Joe Flacco and the Ravens' offense.

26. Arizona Cardinals
Dan Williams, DT- Williams is a steal at this point in the draft, and will help improve one of the Cardinals' biggest needs: the defensive line.

27. Dallas Cowboys
Earl Thomas, S- Thomas is a proven play maker who could immediate upgrade the athleticism of the Cowboys defense.

28. San Diego Chargers
Jahvid Best, RB- If they don't trade up in an attempt to secure Spiller, the Chargers will have to go for the next best option with Best, considering that they most likely won't have Tomlinson or Sproles going into the draft.

29. New York Jets
Golden Tate, WR- The Jets had a hard time finding a play making at the receiver spot this season that could catch big throws in the clutch, and Tate can do just that by giving Sanchez a big-time playmaker to throw to.

30. Minnesota Vikings
Jared Odrick, DT- Even with an outstanding defensive line, the Vikings need to find an eventual replacement for Pat Williams, and Odrick has done a good job of showing that he's NFL-ready.

31. Indianapolis Colts
Brandon Spikes, ILB- Although somewhat of a stretch, Spikes has shown glimpes of excellence and the Colts will need to find a replacement if they can't find a way to resign Brackett.

32. New Orleans Saints
Sean Witherspoon, OLB- An obvious fit for the Saints' defense, he should be able to come in and give immediate help to middle linebacker Jonathan Vilma.

So there you go, again. Another maybe coming once it gets closer to draft day.
