MOCK DRAFT

OLB

ILB

SAN FRANCISCO 49ERS (from CAR) - RUSSELL OKUNG, OT, OKLAHOMA STATE

- The Niners and Head Coach Mike Singletary could use a more reliable option opposite Joe Staley at RT

SEATTLE SEAHAWKS - ANTHONY DAVIS, OT, RUTGERS

- The Seahawks have battled injuries at tackle this season and need to bolster their QB protection

JACKSONVILLE JAGUARS - BRIAN PRICE, DT, UCLA

- The Jaguars have had a hole next to John Henderson at DT ever since Marcus Stroud left for Buffalo

ARIZONA CARDINALS - ROLANDO McCLAIN, ILB, ALABAMA

- The Cardinals defense could use some linebacker depth, especially if Karlos Dansby isn’t back in 2010

NEW YORK JETS - CARLOS DUNLAP, DE, FLORIDA

- Despite many mock drafts, Dunlap is not a top 10 pick and might fit best as an end in a 3-4 scheme

MIAMI DOLPHINS - RICKY SAPP, OLB, CLEMSON

- Jason Taylor and Jerry Porter are both on the wrong side of 30 and a young pass rusher is needed

HOUSTON TEXANS - DONOVAN WARREN, CB, MICHIGAN

- Even if Dunta Robinson stays in Houston, the Texans could use another young corner for the secondary

DENVER BRONCOS (from CHI) - TERRANCE CODY, DT, ALABAMA

- The Broncos defense needs a strong NT to anchor their 3-4 defense and Mount Cody can do just that

CINCINNATI BENGALS - JAHVID BEST, RB, CALIFORNIA

- Yes, the Bengals have Cedric Benson, but Best can help add a dynamic home run threat to the offense

GREEN BAY PACKERS - TRENT WILLIAMS, OT, OKLAHOMA

- The biggest weakness for the Packers this season has been trying to keep Aaron Rodgers upright

DALLAS COWBOYS - CHAD JONES, S, LSU

- Chad Jones has a chance to be a special player and the Cowboys need young help in their secondary

SAN DIEGO CHARGERS - BRANDON SPIKES, ILB, FLORIDA

- The Chargers’ run defense has been a big question and upgrading at inside linebacker will be a big help

ATLANTA FALCONS - JASON PIERRE-PAUL, DE, SOUTH FLORIDA

- It is safe to say that the Jamaal Anderson experiment has been a bust so DE should be a top need

SAN FRANCISCO 49ERS - JERRY HUGHES, DE/OLB, TCU

- The Niners have lacked a dominant pass rusher since changing to the 3-4 defense a few years back

BALTIMORE RAVENS - DAMIAN WILLIAMS, WR, USC

- Derrick Mason almost retired last offseason so his replacement should be a top need for the Ravens

PITTSBURGH STEELERS - KAREEM JACKSON, CB, ALABAMA

- Pittsburgh is another talented cornerback away from having a truly shutdown defense

NEW YORK GIANTS - MIKE IUPTI, G, IDAHO

- The foundation for the Giants has been their stagnant offensive line, but they aren’t getting younger

SEATTLE SEAHAWKS (from DEN) - JONATHAN DWYER, RB, GEORGIA TECH

- Julius Jones has been a solid option, but Dwyer will give Seattle a legitimate running attack

PHILADELPHIA EAGLES - SEAN WEATHERSPOON, OLB, MISSOURI

- The Eagles have had a laundry list of injuries at linebacker and ‘Spoon’ gives them immediate depth

NEW ENGLAND PATRIOTS - CJ SPILLER, RB, CLEMSON

- Kevin Faulk and Fred Taylor will both be 34 years old at the start of 2010 season - Spiller can be a spark

NEW ORLEANS SAINTS - EVERSON GRIFFEN, DE, USC

- Charles Grant can still get solid production, but depth and his future replacement is a need for the Saints

OAKLAND RAIDERS - TAYLOR MAYS, S, USC

- Al Davis loves 40 times and physical specimens even though safety isn’t Oakland’s greatest need

BUFFALO BILLS - DEZ BRYANT, WR, OKLAHOMA STATE

- Terrell Owens probably won’t be back in Buffalo next season and Buffalo needs a playmaking WR

TENNESSEE TITANS - JOE HADEN, CB, FLORIDA

- The Titans defense ranks last in pass defense in the NFL so a young cornerback is a need on draft day

KANSAS CITY CHIEFS - BRYAN BULAGA, OT, IOWA

- The Chiefs have a solid nucleus and adding this franchise tackle will help keep Matt Cassel on his feet

WASHINGTON REDSKINS - SAM BRADFORD, QB, OKLAHOMA

- A new QB won’t fix all their problems, but the Redskins needs to make a drastic change on offense

TAMPA BAY BUCCANEERS - GERALD McCOY, DT, OKLAHOMA

- Head Coach Raheem Morris is a defensive guy and will love to add this disruptive defensive tackle

ST. LOUIS RAMS - JIMMY CLAUSEN, QB, NOTRE DAME

- The Rams offense needs a new identity and Jimmy Clausen will be the top QB if he skips his senior year

CLEVELAND BROWNS - ERIC BERRY, S, TENNESSEE

- The Browns need a lot of help and can help build their defense around this Ed Reed-like playmaker

DETROIT LIONS - NDAMUKONG SUH, DT, NEBRASKA

- The Lions have lacked a dominant force on the defensive line since Shaun Rogers forced his way out

INDIANAPOLIS COLTS - ARTHUR JONES, DT, SYRACUSE

- It seems that the defensive tackle position for Indianapolis has been a revolving door of players

MINNESOTA VIKINGS - BRUCE CARTER, OLB, NORTH CAROLINA

- I think Carter is a top 15 pick so he would be a steal here - OLB Ben Leber isn’t getting any younger
