KC Star Mock Draft 2
 

http://www.kansascity.com/2010/04/17...raft-take.html

Here is one way the first round may go in Thursday’s NFL draft. We'll offer a final mock draft on Thursday.

1. St. Louis Rams … QB Sam Bradford, Oklahoma

Complex ownership situation may keep Rams from signing him before the draft.

2. Detroit Lions … OT Russell Okung, Oklahoma State

Lions need longtime solution for protecting second-year QB Matthew Stafford.

3. Tampa Bay Buccaneers … DT Gerald McCoy, Oklahoma

McCoy fits the Bucs’ scheme better than Ndamukong Suh.

4. Washington … OT Trent Williams, Oklahoma

Sooner State rocks in the first round of the draft.

5. Kansas City Chiefs … DT Ndamukong Suh, Nebraska

Another defensive lineman? Suh will anchor the 3-4 defense.

6. Seattle Seahawks … OT Bryan Bulaga, Iowa

Bulaga ends the run of five straight Big 12 players taken.

7. Cleveland Browns … S Eric Berry, Tennessee

Browns will get QB (like Colt McCoy) in the second round.

8. Oakland Raiders … RB C.J. Spiller, Clemson

Al Davis can’t resist a speedy playmaker.

9. Buffalo Bills … OT Anthony Davis, Rutgers

Bills allowed 46 sacks in 2009.

10. Jacksonville Jaguars … DE Derrick Morgan, Georgia Tech

Jaguars had only 14 sacks last season.

11. Denver Broncos (from Chicago) … WR Dez Bryant, Oklahoma State

Broncos trade one headache (Brandon Marshall) for another.

12. Miami Dolphins … DT Dan Williams, Tennessee

Dolphins have their nose tackle for a decade.

13. San Francisco 49ers … CB Joe Haden, Florida

Athletic Haden will be an upgrade for a mediocre secondary.

14. Seattle Seahawks (from Denver) … QB Jimmy Clausen

Pete Carroll may have to trade up for his quarterback of the future.

15. New York Giants … MLB Rolando McClain, Alabama

Captain of national champion steps in for Antonio Pierce

16. Tennessee Titans … DE Jason Pierre-Paul, South Florida

Titans see him as second coming of Jevon Kearse

17 San Francisco 49ers (from Carolina) … OT Bruce Campbell, Maryland

He stole the show at the Combine with 4.8 40, and 34 reps in bench press.

18. Pittsburgh Steelers … CB Kyle Wilson, Boise State

Steelers corners made just two interceptions in 2009.

19. Atlanta Falcons … OLB Brandon Graham, Michigan

Falcons need a push in their pass rush.

20. Houston Texans … S Earl Thomas, Texas

Ball-hawking safety probably won’t last this long.

21. Cincinnati Bengals … TE Jermaine Gresham, Oklahoma

Chase Coffman didn’t step up to seize this job.

22. New England Patriots … LB Sergio Kindle, Texas

He fits the prototype of a versatile Patriots linebacker.

23. Green Bay Packers … CB Kareem Jackson, Alabama

Age is creeping up on Packers cornerbacks.

24. Philadelphia Eagles … CB Devin McCourty, Rutgers

Departure of Sheldon Brown opens a spot in the lineup.

25. Baltimore Ravens … DT Jared Odrick, Penn State

Odrick fits perfectly in the Ravens' 3-4 scheme.

26. Arizona Cardinals … LB Sean Weatherspoon, Missouri

Replacements for Karlos Dansby and Chike Okeafor are needed.

27. Dallas Cowboys … OT Charles Brown, USC

He’ll step in for the recently released Flozell Adams

28. San Diego Chargers … RB Ryan Mathews, Fresno State

It’s time to move on without LaDainian Tomlinson

29. New York Jets … DE Everson Griffen, USC

Rex Ryan will love turning this guy loose.

30. Minnesota Vikings …CB Patrick Robinson, Florida State

Injuries at corner make this a priority for Vikings.

31. Indianapolis Colts … G Mike Iupati, Idaho

Colts hope he can fill the shoes of Ryan Lilja.

32. New Orleans Saints …. OLB Jerry Hughes, TCU

Hybrid pass rusher will flourish under coordinator Gregg Williams.

How does anyone in their right mind have Suh going to the Chiefs? Covitz is a buffoon.

Suh?

They pay these writers at the Star too much, whatever they may pay them.

This one is worse than the other one.

Why do people who cover sports have to be so ****in stupid?

McFadden and Spiller for the Raiders?

most said the exact same thing about Dorsey?

Even if he's there why the **** would the Chiefs take him?

You know what we need another 5 tech, 3 picks in a row of the same thing.

I don't remember that, but if they did it was for an entirely different reason, I'm sure.

3 top 5 5 techs?

Do you not see the problem with that idea?

unless you get a trade offer your take him and then we immediately try and trade Dorsey for a pick to grab a legit Nose tackle

Suh
Cody
Jackson

it will hurt to miss on Berry and/or Clausen but we would have a legit 3-4 Dline finally.

Lions is to WR as KC is to DL

I don't understand why people are so opposed to this? And don't tell me they're the same player because Dorsey and Suh are not the same.

I was reading the article by John Gruden talking about DTs with a top pick and he's skeptical about picking them high. He then went on to say how good of prospects Suh and McCoy are and he said Suh compared to Richard Seymour. I'm not sure if that's a good comparison or not but if Suh is on the board when Pioli picks and he makes that comparison Suh will be a Chief.


PhilFree:arrow:

How exactly would another 5tech anchor a 3-4?

I don't think there's a chance in hell Suh falls to the Chiefs but if he did, they could get a ransom of picks for him.

The minute you take Suh, you decrease Dorsey's value in trade.

If Suh were to be chosen by the Chiefs, if I were Pioli, I'd dump Tyson Jackson.

Dorsey and Suh on that line would be insane.
