2010 NFL Mock Draft

Round 1 of 5


1. STL: Ndamukong Suh, DT, Nebraska
St. Louis should take a quarterback with this selection, and that quarterback should be Jimmy Clausen. That being said, it seems likely they might go after a veteran during the offseason. If that's the case, Suh would be an excellent addition to their defensive line. He may not be the next Reggie White like some people think, but he has the potential to be a Pro Bowler for many years to come.
2. DET: Gerald McCoy, DT, Oklahoma*
Detroit appears to like Jeff Backus (I personally believe he belongs at guard) so it looks like McCoy would be the logical choice. He was dominant for Oklahoma this season, and lives in opposing backfields. He should be a good start to fixing Detroit's run defense.
3. TB: Eric Berry, S, Tennessee*
Tampa Bay played themselves right out of contention for Suh, but landing Eric Berry is a nice consolation prize. Berry would add another playmaker to the back end of Tampa Bay's defense. If they stick with the Cover 2 scheme they played at the end of the year, Berry could scan the field from zone coverage and wreak havoc.
4. WAS: Sam Bradford, QB, Oklahoma*
Washington needs a ton of help on their offensive line, but Mike Shanahan will likely take the potential franchise quarterback to build around. Bradford is extremely accurate, and has better than expected arm strength. If he's healthy enough to work out for scouts, he's likely Washington's pick.
5. KC: Russell Okung, OT, Oklahoma State
If Detroit doesn't take Russell Okung, Scott Pioli should send them a thank you note. Branden Albert hasn't panned out as a left tackle and drafting Okung allows them to slide him to guard or the right side. The Chiefs have a few offensive weapons, they just have to give Matt Cassel a chance to get them the ball.
6. SEA: Jimmy Clausen, QB, Notre Dame*
Pete Carroll needs a young quarterback to lead this team into the future, and Jimmy Clausen is a perfect fit. He is tough, accurate, and will likely show better than expected arm strength when his toe heels and he can actually plant and throw properly. His cocky, flamboyant attitude should fit in nicely with Pete Carroll and his staff. If this is the selection, I wouldn't be surprised to see Hasselbeck shipped off to Cleveland for one of their third rounders.
7. CLE: Joe Haden, CB, Florida*
Cleveland is out of the running for any of the top quarterbacks, and may look for a veteran in the offseason, so taking the best player on the board makes sense. Joe Haden is a potential lock down corner and gives Rob Ryan another piece for an improving defensive unit.
8. OAK: Bruce Campbell, OT, Maryland*
For once, the overwhelming athlete available actually fits a need for the Raiders. It appears they will stick with Russell for the time being, so giving him more time to overthrow receivers only makes sense. Campbell is a little raw, but has the potential to be a really solid left tackle.
9. BUF: Anthony Davis, OT, Rutgers*
Buffalo won't be able to get a top quarterback prospect, so getting a left tackle to protect whomever the quarterback ends up being is a good idea. Davis is big and physical, but has quick enough feet he should make it on the left side in the NFL.
10. JAX: Derrick Morgan, DE, Georgia Tech*
Jacksonville has got to find a way to put pressure on opposing quarterbacks. Derrick Morgan had an outstanding junior season, and is not only a great pass rusher, but a stout run defender as well. I still wouldn't be completely shocked if this selection were Tim Tebow, but for Jacksonville's sake I hope not.
