1st rd mock 2.0

had to change one pick due to recent poor workouts............ the rest (barring trades) remain.

1.colts: andrew luck qb stanford............ no brainer here.. this was the pick before the season even ended
2. redskins: robert griffin III qb baylor......... another no brainer here.. totallly obvious when the trade was made
3. vikings: mat kalil ot usc............ not only do they need to keep ponder upright, they need to open holes for peterson
4. browns: trent richardson rb alabama.......... pretty obvious considering peyton hillis' signing with the chiefs
5. bucs: morris claiborne cb lsu............ aquib talib has been nothing but an off field distraction...... it's time to replace him
6. rams: justin blackmon wr ok. st.......... with brandon lloyd signing in ne, sam bradford needs a letigimate #1 guy to continue his development
7. jags: alshon jeffery wr s. car............ if they're serious about developing blaine gabbert, then they need to put real weapons around him other than jones drew
8. dolphins: jonathan martin ot stanford........... really need to replace brandon marshall, and/or find a real qb to groom while david garrard keeps the seat warm, but there's no one available worth a top 10 pick........... in the end, games are still won up front though, and finding a top shelf bookend at tackle is a pretty good consolation prize
9. panthers: dontarie poe dt memphis............ steve smith's presence gives them time to find a wr later in the draft.......... this defense was absolutely horrible.
10. bills: luke keuchly ilb bc.................. mario williams signing makes this one a real possibility...... with blockers spending extra time on williams and darius, keuchly should be a tackle machine
11. chiefs: riley reiff ot iowa.............. will either bookend with albert, or allow them to move albert inside, where he would be the best in the league
12. seahawks: whitney mercilus de/olb ill............ found their qb, resigned their rb........... will now address their pass rush options opposite clemons
13. cardinals: dave decastro og stanford............... a no brainer here considering the poor state of the oline
14. cowboys: dre kirkpatrick cb alabama............... the secondary was the weakest part of this defense, and needed addressing 4yrs. ago
15. eagles: mark barron s alabama.................... the middle of this defense was embarrassing from front to back...... (devon still is a possibility also)
16. jets: quinton couples de nc................. defense really needs help getting to the passer
17. bengals: janoris jenkins cb n. alabama.......... also need rb badly, but better value can be found later......... cb was equally needed
18. chargers: peter konz c/g wisconsin............ need an upgrade at guard, and konz's mobility allows him to be equally effective next to hardwick
19. bears: stephen gilmore cb s. carolina............ getting brandon marshall made this pick possible... they really need to upgrade the #28 pass defense
20. titans: devon still dt penn st............... a bit of a luxery pick given their needs at de and the secondary, but still an upgrade and far too good to pass up on
21. bengals: michael floyd wr notre dame........ rb is again, a greater need, but i think they address it in either rd. 2 or 3........ with jerome simpson's future in doubt, they need to get that weapon opposite aj green
22. browns: courtney upshaw de/olb alabama............. alot of so called experts point to the job phil taylor and jabaal sheard did for this defense. i just don't see it.......... this was one of the worst run defenses in the league last yr.
23. lions: mike adams ot ohio st............ they found out what it was like to have stafford for a full season...... now they have to keep it that way.
24. steelers: cordy glenn g georgia............. would immediately upgrade lg spot where legursky is more valuable imho as the backup c
25. broncos: michael brockers dt lsu........... need to get stronger and tougher in the middle.......***note***: (if they make a play for mike wallace, as rumor would have it, then we would get the pick, and i for one, would love to see donta hightower raying: : ) (keep in mind, i would also like for us to keep mike wallace )
26. texans: ruben randle wr lsu............. they've been looking for a compliment to andre johnson for as long as i can remember....
27. patriots: donta hightower lb alabama......... if the above scenario doesn't happen, then this is the likely pick.......... lamar miller is the pick if the above does happen (especially in light of their new wr's).
28. packers: fletcher cox dt/de miss. st............ defense (or lack thereof) finally caught up with them last yr.
29. ravens: keleche osemele g iowa st.............. strictly a need pick given the loss of grubbs and their inability to replace him through free agency
30. 49ers: kendall wright wr baylor............... randy moss is a stopgap, nothing more, nothing less........
31. patriots: alfonzo denard cb nebraska.......... can play either cb or s....... both areas the pats need major help at
32. giants: zack brown lb nc.............. they need help in the secondary also, but this need is slightly greater........
