I know some of you think this guy is a tool. I like reading what he has to say. I also like the looks of this mock.

I made my first attempt at a mock draft on the Move The Sticks Podcast just before the start of free agency. After a few trades and signings, I decided to update the mock draft before putting it up on the website. I have some notable omissions compared to what others in the media are projecting for the 1st Round. I don’t have Jimmy Clausen, Taylor Mays or Bruce Campbell being selected in the opening round of the 2010 draft. This is a very deep draft and because of that, there are going to be a lot of “big name” players that get pushed into the 2nd round.
1) Rams- S. Bradford QB Oklahoma- Glaring need at the position trumps everything
2) Lions- N. Suh DT Nebraska- More versatile than McCoy
3) Buccaneers- G. McCoy DT Oklahoma- Much needed dominant interior presence
4) Redskins- R. Okung OT Oklahoma St- Must address the biggest issue and that’s the OL
5) Chiefs- E. Berry FS Tennessee- Easy pick for a team that needs playmakers
6) Seahawks-C. Spiller RB Clemson- (See previous comment)
7) Browns-D. Morgan LB Georgia Tech- Browns are big on smart, productive players
8) Raiders- J. Paul DE South Florida- Physical Freak with huge upside
9) Bills- D. Williams NT Tennessee- Perfect fit for the Bills new 3-4
10) Jaguars- R. Matthews RB Fresno St- Copying the Panthers with a deadly duo at RB
11) Broncos- E. Thomas FS Texas- This gives them some youth at Safety and a capable Nickel CB
12) Dolphins- B. Graham DE Michigan- Reminds me of Anthony Spencer
13) 49ers- B. Bulaga OT Iowa- Maybe a little early but a “high floor” pick
14) Seahawks- A. Davis OT Rutgers- Raw talented pass protector fills a void
15) Giants-R. McClain LB Alabama- Size and instincts are excellent but this isn’t Pat Willis 2.0
16) Titans- D. Bryant WR Oklahoma St- A little risky but the talent is too great to pass up
17) 49ers- K. Wilson CB Boise St- Best press corner in the draft
18) Steelers- J. Haden CB Florida- He can go higher if he runs better at his pro day
19) Falcons- K. Jackson CB Alabama- A real fast riser that is excellent on tape
20) Texans- D. McCourty CB Rutgers- Fast, physical press corner that is also a stud on special teams
21) Bengals- J. Gresham TE Oklahoma- They finally land a big time TE for Palmer
22) Patriots- E. Griffen OB USC- Has as much upside as any defender in the draft
23) Packers- T. Williams OT Oklahoma- Fills a huge need and can play both sides
24) Eagles- S. Kindle DE/OB Texas- A nice compliment to Trent Cole
25) Ravens- B. Price DT UCLA- Need to get a younger sidekick for Ngata
26) Cardinals- S. Weatherspoon IB Missouri- Excellent replacement for Dansby
27) Cowboys- C. Brown OT USC- Provides a young athletic OT that can eventually replace Adams
28) Chargers- J. Odrick DE Penn State- Excellent run defender with upside as a rusher
29) Jets- J. Hughes OB TCU- Super productive pass rusher that is athletic in coverage as well
30) Vikings- J. Best RB Cal- Imagine that RB combo
31) Colts-M. Pouncey OC/OG Florida- Need to upgrade the interior of the OL
32) Saints- D. Washington LB TCU- Explosive, playmaking LB that would look great next to Vilma
