      Well Free Agency came with a force and we truly appreciate everyone chipping in with their comments and views. Because of how quickly things have changed, and how all this moves have affected the draft and also to give you a more insightful and depth Mock. We've decided to cut the Staff writers to two and give a short reason of the WHY behind each pick. Also we will show you if a player moved up or down from our previous Mock.

      So from now until the Live draft Preview Dave and Myself (Uri H.) will give your Mock fix each week. But to tell you guys the truth we were truly the only ones that knew what we were actually doing.

      ROUND

      ANALYSIS
      1
      Andrew Luck
      QB
      Stanford
      ( - )
      Don't pay attention to the smoke and mirrors; this is another case of Manning vs Leaf. The Colts will take the reliable pick rather then the potential.
      Andrew Luck
      QB
      Stanford
      ( - )
      Arguably the #1 prospect on the board and the Colts just parted ways with Mr. Colt, Peyton Manning, this one is a no brainier
      2
      Robert Griffin III
      QB
      Baylor
      ( - )
      RG3 looks like a better version of M.Vick, I don't feel we will see a Leaf type of result with him. He can be really good, really accurate.
      Robert Griffin III
      QB
      Baylor
      ( - )
      The Skins mortgaged their draft future for a franchise QB, unless Luck and RGIII flip flop, take this one to the bank
      3
      Matt Kalil
      OT
      USC
      ( - )
      		 Their offensive line is old and lost some key players. Before anything else they need to protect their young QB and best player AP. Kalil is without a doubt the #1 Choice, second year in a row USC gets their lineman drafted first.
      Matt Kalil
      OT
      USC
      ( - )
      		 Lots of holes to fill on this team but Ponder was beaten down in his rookie season, McKinnie is a distant memory and they need someone to keep the kid upright for the next 10 years
      4
      Trent Richardson
      RB
      Alabama
      (+18)
      		 I hate taking a HB so high, but Cleveland needs both a HB and WR they need play makers and there's more talent at WR than HB so they secure their first play maker with this pick.
      RyanTannehill
      QB
      Texas A&M
      **TradeDolphins**
      (+4)
      The dolphins in desperate need of a QB make a move much like the Skins and move up to ensure they can grab Tannehill, it's a reach but in a QB driven league, this needs to be made
      5
      Morris Claibourne
      DB
      LSU
      ( - )
      Secondary was their biggest problem last season. Even with the signing of Wright, you don't know if you can count on Talib on that defense. No way they pass on such a huge talent.
      Morris Claibourne
      DB
      LSU
      (-1)
      Even the signing of Eric Wright won't keep the Bucs from taking the drafts #1 prospect, you can never have too many DB
      6
      Justin Blackmon
      WR
      Oklahoma St
      (-2)
      Even by dropping four spots, the Rams will get one of the three top players on their draft board. In this scenario I have them taking the guy they wanted all along.
      Justin Blackmon
      WR
      Oklahoma St
      (+13)
      Could address the offensive line but Jeff Fischer is going to want to make sure Bradford has someone to throw to, they'll need to address the OL in the 2nd round though
      7
      Riley Rieff
      T
      Iowa
      (-1)

      Before they resigned Micey I had them taking either Coples or Ingram. The reality is that with Gabbert at QB they need all the help they can get to protect him and open holes for MJD.
      		 Quinton Coples
      DE
      North Carolina
      (+3)

      So many different ways to address the DL but Couples has the size and athleticism to be an impact rusher
      8
      Ryan Tannehill
      QB
      Texas A&M
      (New)
      I didn't have Tannehill on my last mock because I expected Miami to get either Flynn or Manning. Sorry but I can't see them passing on another QB for the second year in a row even if they signed Garrard
      Trent Richardson
      RB
      Alabama
      **TradeCleveland**
      (-3)
      They are able to trade back and still get the guy they wanted. Richardson is a starter from Day 1 with Peyton Hillis's departure
      9
      Quinton Coples
      DE
      North Carolina
      (-1)
      The last time the Panthers drafted a DE from NC, it was with the #1 overall pick and he was the face of the defense for 8 seasons. People say they need DT but I'm not ready to give up on the guys they drafted last year
      Dontari Poe
      DT
      Memphis
      (New)

      Not a fan of this pick but every year there is a workout warrior who is picked far ahead of where his on the field results say he should be taken
      10
      Luke Kuechly
      ILB
      Boston College
      (+3)

      With Mario Williams and Mark Anderson in plac,e DE is no longer a need. Getting the tackling machine of Kuechly will make this defense one to worry.
      Riley Rieff
      T
      Iowa
      (-4)

      The Mario Williams signing makes addressing the offensive line much easier in the 1st round
      11
      Dontari Poe
      DT
      Memphis
      (-2)
      With the signing of Winston, tackle is no longer a need. Kelly Gregg will probably retire and the need for a big NT becomes number one. If talent equals production the Chiefs might get the steal of the draft.
      Jonathan Martin
      OT
      Stanford
      ( - )
      In order to take advantage of their weapons, the Chiefs will need to ensure Cassell has time to throw, can't go wrong picking up a starting RT for the next 10 years in this spot
      12
      David DeCastro
      OG
      Stanford
      (+1)

      With QB taken care of and the release of Robert Gallery, they find themselves with a hole at guard. You don't invest so much to get Flynn and not protect him.
      Luke Kuechly
      ILB
      Boston College
      ( - )

      In need of LB help and not really addressing it with an FA talent, Kuechly is the perfect guy to play inside for Pete Carroll, will have a great career
      13
      Jonathan Martin
      OT
      Stanford
      (-2)

      Stanford gets three players in the top 13 - not bad for the Ivy league. Kolb got killed last year, so offensive line is the biggest need and Martin will help them there.
      David DeCastro
      OG
      Stanford
      ( - )

      The defense is stout and having missed on Peyton, they'll need to figure out a way to give Kolb more time to throw, the best Guard on the board will help
      14
      Melvin Ingram
      DE
      South Carolina
      (-7)

      I thought about keeping Barron here because Poole was only signed for one year. But in this scenario, Ingram fell and he's the pass rushing OLB fans have been asking for. I can't see them pass on him.
      Stephon Gilmore
      CB
      South Carolina
      ( - )

      A quiet sleeper rising up most draft boards, has the athleticism of Janoris Jenkins and the size of Dre Kirkpatrick but with out any baggage, this is a JG guy
      15
      Fletcher Cox
      DT
      Mississippi
      (+12)

      The trade for Demeco Ryan and the extension to Desean Jackson made this pick easy. Cox is a great value here and fits on this defense.
      Fletcher Cox
      DT
      Mississippi
      ( - )
      There's no other ILB worthy of a 1st round pick, one way around a lack of LB talent is to build a fearsome front four, the Eagles continue to solidify their DL with this pick
      16
      Courtney Upshaw
      LB
      Alabama
      (-6)
      With the signing of Chaz Schilens WR has become a lesser need. The Jets need pass rush and a safety. Upshaw will help with the rush and can play multiple positions on Rex's defense
      Courtney Upshaw
      LB
      Alabama
      ( - )
      Pass rusher is the #1 need in NY, they could go a few different ways here with Mercilus being a possiblity but Upshaw has the resume and pedigree, Ryan plays it safe and gets his 6-10 sack guy
      17
      Stephon Gilmore
      CB
      South Carolina
      (+14)
      The buzz on Gilmore has gone up since the combine. I really like his tape the most - he's the one who shows more overall skills beside speed. The Bengals will draft a CB, the only question is who they have rated higher.
      Janoris Jenkins
      CB
      North Alabama
      ( - )
      Sure Tnew may find a home in Cincy but we know he's just there to help the next Jonathan Joseph grow up, that guy is Janoris Jenkins, great skill set and the Bengals have never cared about char
      18
      Michael Brockers
      DT
      LSU
      ( - )
      		 I know Barron is still available and they could even go CB here. Still the loss of Castillo and good 3-4 DE are hard to find so unless I hear anything different I'll stick with my earlier pick.
      Mark Barron
      S
      Alabama
      ( - )

      Could have gone with a WR here, most likely Floyd but the recent crop of FA WRs allows the Chargers to go out and make up for the Bob Sanders miss
      19
      Whitney Mercilus
      DE
      Illinois
      (+1)
      At the start of free agency, they went after Williams, Mincey, and Wimbley but failed to bring all three of them. They made their intentions clear they want to pair up Peppers with another rushing DE.
      Cordy Glenn
      OG
      Georgia
      (+2)
      The addition of Brandon Marshall allows the Bears to focus on building up the OL and keeping Cutler safe, no need to spend a #1 on a WR here
      20
      Dre Kirkpatrick
      CB
      Alabama
      (-3)
      The Titans have done a good job filling their needs in FA. Still, they haven't replaced their biggest loss Finnegan. Enter Kirkpatrick - almost a carbon copy of Finnegan with better size and excels in the slot.
      Whitney Mercilus
      DE
      Illinois
      ( - )
      The Manning race cost them dearly as they missed out on Mario Williams, pass rush is still the biggest thing to fill and Mercilus could be a big hit if he holds up to last season's production
      21
      Cordy Glenn
      OG
      Georgia
      ( - )
      They like to run it and need protection. I can also see them taking Barron here and completely fix the secondary but Glenn is too good for them to pass up.
      Michael Floyd
      WR
      Notre Dame
      (-13)
      Adding Jenkins earlier in the 1st allows the Bengals to add another premier play maker for Dalton, an AJ Green and Malcom Floyd combo could be a good mix of size and speed
      22
      Michael Floyd
      WR
      Notre Dame
      (-6)
      The Browns gamble and they find themselves able to select the second WR in the draft. Floyd might come with baggage but he's the type of WR this team needs.
      Mike Adams
      OT
      Ohio State
      (New)
      There is a big need for a RT in Cleveland now and eve though this is a reach, the Browns try to sure up their offensive line to go along with Trent Richardson
      23
      Janoris Jenkins
      CB
      North Alabama
      ( - )
      All my reports tell me that the Lions are doing extensive research on Jenkins and really like him. Unless he's off the draft board I see him landing here.
      Dre Kirkpatrick
      CB
      Alabama
      ( - )
      The lions are ecstatic that Kirkpatrick falls this far in the 1st round, they need secondary help with the departure of Eric Wright and Dre is just the answer
      24
      Dont'A Hightower
      LB
      Alabama
      ( - )
      The Steelers' need at offensive lineman is bigger, and they could end up with Adams of Ohio. But they're all about defense and Hightower fills their need at ILB
      Dont'A Hightower
      LB
      Alabama
      ( - )
      It looks as though Mike Wallace is going to stay put which is big for the Steelers, being able to go after a huge position need at ILB allows them to keep working on their vaunted defense
      25
      Stephen Hill
      WR
      GeorgiaTech
      (-6)
      I don't care if you've got a bigger need at tackle. You don't sell the farm to Manning and not give him weapons. You can have the best QB in the world but he still needs people to throw it to.
      Devon Still
      DT
      Penn St
      ( - )
      The eagle has landed in Denver and expect there to be a large influx of older offensive ex-Colts, this will allow the Broncos to go after the DL which needs to get stronger
      26
      Kendall Wright
      WR
      Baylor
      ( - )
      They need help at WR - we all saw how things fell down once Andre Johnson went down. Also last year they went all in on defense, so it's time to invest on the offense.
      Stephen Hill
      WR
      Georgia Tech
      (-4)
      The defense was ferocious last year and the loss of Ryans hurts but not great enough to reach for an ILB here, they need another big play threat to pair up with Andre Johnson who will turn 31 this July
      27
      Mark Barron
      S
      Alabama
      (-13)
      In this scenario, the rich keep getting richer. We all know that the defense is the reason they lost the Super Bowl and they really have their choice at who to pick. Barron is a steal at this spot.
      Michael Brockers
      DT
      LSU
      ( - )
      Don't let the recent parade of DL to visit Foxborough fool you, they need DL help and Brockers is a long term solution, the veterans they plug and play with will help him develop
      28
      Andre Branch
      DE
      Clemson
      ( - )
      For a team with not too many holes, pass rush was the thing that kept them from a repeat. The Giants could put pressure pretty easily and the Packers couldn't.
      Nick Perry
      DE
      USC
      ( - )
      The offense was incredible last year and no major departures through FA thus far, the defense didn't get pressure on the QB and they need someone other than Mathews to do that
      29
      Peter Konz
      G/C
      Wisconsin
      ( - )
      Konz fills their biggest need even after resigning Birk. He can play guard also and will be the future at center.
      Kevin Zeitler
      G
      Wisconsin
      (New)
      The Ravens lost Ben Grubbs through FA and with no viable alternative to slide in right now they need to draft for need and not BPA, not a great strategy but Zeitler is still a viable option
      30
      Coby Fleener
      TE
      Stanford
      (+2)
      I was skeptical at this pick early on, but the more I hear about it, the more I feel it is going to happen. Harbaugh needs more playmakers. He also likes to use the two TE set a lot and Fleener raised his stock after his pro day
      Coby Fleener
      TE
      Stanford
      ( - )
      Even with the Moss signing, Harbaugh loves to use multiple TE sets, Alex Smith isn't a prolific passer but he does use the TE well, look for the Niners to add to the offense with all 11 starters on defense returning
      31
      Devon Still
      DT
      Penn St
      (-6)
      We all know that Bellichick will probably trade this pick for a future number one pick. But in the mean time if he doesn't, Still fits like a glove on the Patriots.
      Peter Konz
      G/C
      Wisconsin
      (-2)
      There is still uncertainty with Koppen coming back next year, if he doesn't there is an immediate need to bring in a C, look for BB to trade out of this position or take Konz
      32
      Mike Adams
      OT
      Ohio State
      (New)
      I could put Perry here easily, because we all know the Giants can't get enough rushers, but their biggest problem is their Offensive line, it gave them a lot of trouble last year. Adams is what they need
      Andre Branch
      DE
      Clemson
      ( - )
      They signed Marty B to be a starting TE and you can never have enough pass rushers, Branch could easily be the long term solution, even if Umeniyora finishes his contract in NY

        not sure of the logic for Miami to trade up for a QB. no one in front of them will draft Tannehill. he will be there at 8. Cleveland could use a QB, but he's not much of an upgrade over McCoy. McCoy isn't going to take them to a championship, but a chance to get the best WR prospect since CJ it too hard to pass up. since the league is going to more of a pass first mentality, take the WR over the RB anytime. i think there were only 2 of the top 10 rushers this year drafted in the first round. you can find a quality RB these days easily. true #1WR not so much.

        i do hate that you guys have DeCastro gone by 14.

        ^ I'm with you on DeCastro. He's the guy I think should be top priority but unfortunately it's a very real possibility that he just won't be available at 14. I'm crossing my fingers bigtime!

        Actually Ron it's Richardson that's the best running back to come up out of the draft since Adrian Peterson. I had him going last week to the browns still but until their 22nd pick. But I truly don't believe that he will last that long. Adrian Peterson went #7 five years ago, and the only reason he went that low it was because of injury concerns.

        Yes the HB position has downgraded through the years and there's a reason why I don't have another HB going in the first round but Richardson looks like those one every 5 years type of players. Blackmon is like a leaner more polished version of Dez without the freakish how did he do that plays. He's more like a Larry Fitzgerald than CJ. I had one scenario of the Browns taking Blackmon at #4 and then trading with us with their second pick and then move up to #14 to get Richardson. but the more I see it the less likely Richardson could last to #14 and like I said there's more talent available at WR than HB you can take the play making HB and then take one of the 1st round talented WR.

        With Decastro I feel he's good as gone most of the teams in front of us have offensive line problems and after his pro day DeCastro has moved up in most draft boards. Plus the more I study, the more it looks we will go defense or trade down with that pick. for pure potential I would love us to have Dontari Poe. But two things I don't like his tape, he looks like Albert Haynesworth; a guy that should easily dominate but for some reason talent doesn't equal production and the other his buzz has gone so high since the combine and his potential is so freaking rare that some GM will pull the trigger way before 14 and he would either look like a genius or it will cost him his job.

        My point is that it's much harder to find a elite WR than RB. We stumbled on Murray in the third. Peterson is great, but outside of one great season, he's a 1300 yard back. Not sure how you quantify that in today's NFL. 7 out of the top 10 teams in passing offense made playoffs and those 3 that missed were 8-8. I understand Richardson is a great talent, but with the way the game is played now, give me the elite WR over the RB any day.

        Uri... why do you think we'd take Ingram with Upshaw available? I thought he was the best OLB prospect in the class.

        yeah But you have 3 probable elite WR in this draft, Do you actually see a drop on Floyd from Blackmon? the only reason he's not a top 10 players is because character concerns. The Browns need Play makers on offense and they need two not 1. Plus having a good running game makes an avrg QB a lot better. If teams have to worry about your running game that leaves the passing game more open.

        You're wrong about finding Elite WR with how the college game morphing into a passing game it's easier to find more experienced WR now that it used to, now it's harder to find great HB's.

        I'm not saying they won't get Blackmon what I'm saying is that if they want a play maker at HB and at WR this is the way they will go. Trust me Richardson will be a top 10 pick either way.

        Melvin Ingram is the better Edge Rusher, Upshaw is a guy you can plug in all over the place even at ILB some even have him as a 4-3 DE. if Dallas want to draft somebody to replace Spencer. Ingram is the better prospect, he just find way to be on the ball and it's great at rushing the QB.

        i think if DeCastro is gone, Jerry won't hesitate to move down. its the 3 in front of us that have me worried. KC has D line issues, Seattle with a new QB and Arizona need a tackle, but stud guard may be too hard to pass up.

        Uri H. - 03-25-2012, 01:24 PM
        Exactly Ron all 3 of the teams in front of us need Oline help. DE Castro won't get pass Seattle which just released Robert Gallery and need a Guard

        i have seen plenty of Blackmon and Wright and for me, its not even close who's the better WR. haven't seen much of Floyd to say either way. i have no doubt that Richardson will be a top 10 pick and should be. he played against 3 elite defensive teams (top 30) this year and was held under a 4 yard average. would Emmitt still be "Emmitt" in today's NFL? hard to say, but Rice would still be "Rice", same for most elite WR. is Richardson a better player than Murray? hands down, but with a back like Murray you can still win a championship. this league is littered with 1000 yd rushers drafted after the first round. if you cant throw the ball its such a disadvantage. there were 14 1000 yd rushers this year and 5 made the playoffs.

        Upshaw is realistically about a 3rd round talent, but being part of the Bama defense and being plugged in the top 20 by every "analyst" has basically fabricated him into a top 20 talent. We probably wont see that until someone says "Hey remember that guy Upshaw?" next offseason. Anyways, Ingram is the Demarcus Ware or Aldon Smith of this class, if he's there we HAVE to take him.

        I recently have hopped off the DeCastro wagon. Why? Because this draft is deep at Guard. We are going to be able to get a guy in the second who will be a great starter for us. Someone like Kevin Zeitler or Amini Silatolu. I feel like Zeitler is going to be the steal of this Guard draft, so I'm really hoping we get him. Im pretty sure he could be an effective Center if thats where we needed him as well.

        Uri, once again I love the mock from top to bottom. You even managed to get rid of Barron on Dallas and choose the guy (Ingram) who I want us to get. Good job.

        I'll freely admit that I don't start plunging into the draft until April. That said, drafting a 275-pound DE and asking him to convert to OLB isn't exactly a slam dunk. Upshaw already played 3-4 OLB in college. I'm not saying I want either guy; would rather we take a defensive lineman. From what I've seen, Ingram would probably be little more than Greg Ellis 2.0 for us.

        I think we should all get prepared for a trade-down. There are just too many players that we could use and Jerry loves grabbing those extra picks. Unless something exceptional happens like DeCastro or Poe falling to the 14th spot, I think we slide back.

        yeah the More I see it the more I expect a Trade down and like I said in the poll I expect us to make the trade with the Browns that might want to move up.... but if Ingram is there we will take him.

        Just giving ya crap bro haha. Ingram may bust though, you never know with the tweeners, I just feel like he is the guy that is a smaller name but is gonna bust out like ware or aldon smith.

        I think a trade down is our best option, though. It is a super deep draft and there's really no consensus guy that will probably be there at 14. Might as well pick up some picks and then pick guys that can help from wherever we traded back to. We don't have a lot of needs necessarily, but we can definitely use upgrades at numerous spots, so a trade down would benefit greatly.

        Seems like there's some movement behind Kirkpatrick being converted to a free safety. If that's really on the table and not just fans talking, that could be a brilliant use of the 14th pick.

        If the kid can play safety.. Woodson was a great pick and transition from LB two Safety but we risked a 2nd rounder for him if it didn't work out it hurts us but doesn't kill us

        If Kirkpatrick sucks at safety huge waste of pick.

        I've read a lot about that, Haynie. Seems like lots of teams are truly looking at this guy as a potential converted safety. I know typically you try to shy away from projects like this in the first round, but IMO it's a low risk project because if he did happen to suck at safety then you could just move him back to cornerback. I doubt he could be worse than Elam was last year and honestly I don't view Poole as much of an improvement either. If you're going to try something like that, why not try it when you've got no other viable starting FS options anyway?

McCoy isn't going to take them to a championship, but a chance to get the best WR prospect since CJ it too hard to pass up. since the league is going to more of a pass first mentality, take the WR over the RB anytime. i think there were only 2 of the top 10 rushers this year drafted in the first round. you can find a quality RB these days easily. true #1WR not so much.

        i do hate that you guys have DeCastro gone by 14.
        Ron I know what you're saying about Tannehill falling to the Dolphins but I think the Browns will shop the pick and I really think that whoever slides in there is doing so to take Tannehill. It's a complete reach, which I stated in my analysis but I still think it will happen. I don't think the Dolphins brass feel good about competing with a combo of Garrard and Moore.

        It's also come out that they were ready to released Marshall before they traded him. To me, this seems like a team hitting the drawing board in a full re-build mode. One way to start that process is going after a kid you think is your #1 for the next 8-10 years.
