NFL Mock Draft: Part XV

1 - STL: Bradford, Sam - QB - Oklahoma
After releasing Marc Bulger, this pick is now a lock, as are the first 4 picks.
2 - DET: Suh, Ndamukong - DT - Nebraska
Jim Schwartz know the importance of having a great DT after coaching Haynesworth in Tennessee. Suh is the best player in the draft and the Lions will not pass up on him.
3 - TB: McCoy, Gerald - DT - Oklahoma
He's not Ndamukong Suh, but he's a good consolation prize for the up and coming, young Buccaneers.
4 - WAS: Okung, Russell - T - Oklahoma St.
The best O-Line prospect who will give the Redskins some much needed improvement on their weak line.
5 - KC: Bulaga, Bryan - T - Iowa
Scott Pioli has come out on record saying he doesn't like picking Safety's in the top of the draft because of their lack of longevity.
6 - SEA: Spiller, C.J. - RB - Clemson
He is an explosive playmaker who helps out in the running and passing game with his speed and athleticism.
7 - CLE: Berry, Eric - FS - Tennessee
A dream scenario for the Browns as he will help their secondary by leaps and bounds.
8 - OAK: Williams, Trent - T - Oklahoma
He's an underrated player that would be the "immediate starter" that the Raiders want. He also fits the bill that Al Davis loves, a 300lb guy that can run a 4.8 40.
9 - BUF: Clausen, Jimmy - QB - Notre Dame
This would be the dream scenario for Buffalo. It looks like they'll get their man; after the McNabb trade and the Seahawks acquiring Whitehurst, Clausen will fall down the draft baords. The biggest roadblock for the Bills on draft day are the Raiders at 8 or the Jaguars possibly trading up.
10 - JAX: Morgan, Derrick - DE - Georgia Tech
The best pure pass rusher in the draft. Yes, they did add Aaron Kampman, but he is coming off a serious injury, and their Defense ranked last in sacks last year.
11 - DEN: Mcclain, Rolando - ILB - Alabama
They're not going to go after Dez Bryant after getting rid of their "diva" receiver. Rolando McClain fits the style and the mold of this new Broncos team.
12 - MIA: Thomas, Earl - SS - Texas
The Dolphins have met with him 3 times so far and are in love with him. They could take Jason Pierre-Paul, but they prefer players with experience and production.
13 - SF: Haden, Joe - CB - Florida
They would be getting the top Corner in the draft at the 13th pick; this is a steal.
14 - SEA: Bryant, Dez - WR - Oklahoma St.
After being in the running for Brandon Marshall, it's obvious that the Seahawks are looking for a WR to pair with TJ. He would be a great weapon to get Hasselbeck back on track and groom Whitehurst. They may look at Charles Brown here or a DE like Pierre-Paul.
15 - NYG: Williams, Dan - DT - Tennessee
He's a big DT that could be a Nose. However, he'll be plugged right into the Giants D-Line and help the run defense.
16 - TEN: Pierre-Paul, Jason - DE - South Florida
Not too many years ago the Titans drafted another defensive end known as "the freak" worked out pretty well. plus it's not that much of a reach to get him here at 16.
17 - SF: Davis, Anthony - T - Rutgers
A huge blocker who could fill in perfectly at the Right Tackle spot for the niners. His stock has fallen due to concerns about his weight and work ethic.
18 - PIT: Iupati, Mike - OG - Idaho
A huge blocker that will help the Steelers lack luster running game, and keep Big Ben on his feet.
19 - ATL: Graham, Brandon - OLB - Michigan
Graham is projected as a 3-4 OLB but has always played the 4-3 DE spot. He'll get them plenty of sacks along the D-line. He plays very similar to John Abraham.
20 - HOU: Wilson, Kyle - CB - Boise St.
After losing Dunta Robinson to the Falcons, the Texans are desperate for a starting corner.
21 - CIN: Gresham, Jermaine - TE - Oklahoma
He would be a great target for Palmer in the middle of the field. The Bengals have needed a TE for years now.
22 - NE: Kindle, Sergio - OLB - Texas
The prototype 3-4 OLB who will be a perfect fit in the Pats Defense.
23 - GB: Pouncey, Maurkice - C - Florida
A very versatile and smart blocker who can start at Guard or Center immediately.
24 - PHI: Mays, Taylor - FS - USC
The Eagles did sign Marlin Jackson who says he will be moving to Safety, but why change his position? With Mays they get a hard-hitting safety that they no longer have since losing Brian Dawkins. According to a few sources they have been looking to trade up to get Eric Berry or stay put and get Mays.
25 - BAL: McCourty, Devin - CB - Rutgers
McCourty is the college teammate of Ravens star Running Back ray Rice and he has been talking the ear off of the Ravens front office about this guy. They had an impressive showing at his pro day, and could definitely use his services as a starting corner.
26 - ARI: Hughes, Jerry - DE - TCU
A pass rushing force that can start opposite Joey Porter and be a solid building block in their defense.
27 - DAL: Brown, Charles - T - USC
He's a little undersized as a left tackle, but he is heralded for his fantastic footwork and discipline on the line.
28 - SD: Mathews, Ryan - RB - Fresno St.
Mathews has a great blend of size and speed a la LaDanian Tomlinson. The perfect replacement.
29 - NYJ: Odrick, Jared - DT - Penn State
He would be the perfect fit at the 3-4 DE spot and would be a starter immediately.
30 - MIN: Price, Brian - DT - UCLA
They filled their need at CB by signing Lito Shepard. Price is a strong DT that can replace Pat Williams.
31 - IND: Saffold, Rodger - OT - Indiana
A hometown prospect who has size, speed, strength, and great technique. He has been quickly climbing up draft boards and I would not be surprised at all if the Colts take him over Bruce Campbell. They need Offensive Line and it would be crazy to think they would go any other direction here.
32 - NO: Weatherspoon, Sean - OLB - Missouri
Weatherspoon is an excellent value at #32, he could go as high as #15 to the Giants. He fits their scheme perfect and would be an immediate starter from day one.

Out of the 1st Round:
-Everson Griffen-DE/USC
-Kareem Jackson-CB/Alabama
-DeMaryius Thomas-WR/Georgia Tech
-Bruce Campbell-OT/Maryland
-Daryl Washington -OLB/TCU
-Terrence Cody-NT/Alabama
-Carlos Dunlap-DE/Florida
-Tim Tebow-QB/Florida
-Arrelious Benn-WR/Illinois
-Golden Tate-WR/Notre Dame
-Colt McCoy-QB/Texas
-Jahvid Best-RB/California
