2011 Mock Draft - Round 1
Last Updated: 7/14/2010 - 4:39AM CDT
Go to Round:
 |
PICK #1 The  Bills Pick:
Jake Locker (QB, Washington) |
| None of Trent Edwards, Ryan Fitzpatrick or Brian Brohm would start anywhere else in the league. |
|
 |
PICK #2 The  Buccaneers Pick:
Greg Romeus (DE, Pittsburgh) |
| After rebuilding the interior of their defensive line, the Bucs need to find a DE early in 2011. |
|
 |
PICK #3 The  Broncos Pick:
Cameron Heyward (DT, Ohio State) |
| Denver are all set to implode, but at least they land a key piece for their defense by doing so! |
|
 |
PICK #4 The  Jaguars Pick:
Ryan Mallett (QB, Arkansas) |
| If the Jags are picking this high, David Garrard will be on his way out. |
|
 |
PICK #5 The  Rams Pick:
Julio Jones (WR, Alabama) |
| If Sam Bradford is going to succeed he'll need a better receiver corps. |
|
 |
PICK #6 The  Browns Pick:
Marcel Dareus (DT, Alabama) |
| One of the most natural 3-4 ends to come out in years. |
|
 |
PICK #8 The  Lions Pick:
Patrick Peterson (CB, Louisiana State) |
| The fact that Dre Bly and Falcons' castoff Chris Houston might be starters in 2010 tell you this team needs a corner. |
|
 |
PICK #9 The  Seahawks Pick:
A.J. Green (WR, Georgia) |
| The Seahawks have flirted with Brandon Marshall and Vincent Jackson this offseason so drafting a receiver already looks likely. |
|
 |
PICK #10 The  Chiefs Pick:
Joseph Barksdale (OT, Louisiana State) |
| The Chiefs should have taken an OT this year and their need is only to get greater during 2010. |
|
 |
PICK #11 The  Steelers Pick:
Jared Crick (DT, Nebraska) |
| The Steelers defensive line is getting up in age so adding Ndamukong Suh's former team-mate seems like a good idea. |
|
 |
PICK #12 The  Panthers Pick:
Bruce Carter (LB, North Carolina) |
| The Panthers linebacker corps looked weak even before the injury to Thomas Davis. |
|
 |
PICK #13 The  Eagles Pick:
Mark Ingram (HB, Alabama) |
| Switching to Kevin Kolb is going to mean a drop off in the Eagles play this year. Adding Ingram would help them improve again. |
|
 |
PICK #14 The  Patriots Pick:
Allen Bailey (DE, Miami (FL)) |
| This pick comes to the Pats from Oakland thanks to the Richard Seymour trade - time to find his replacement then! |
|
 |
PICK #16 The  Texans Pick:
Mark Barron (S, Alabama) |
| Many thought the Texans would take a safety in 2010 but instead they opted to wait. |
|
 |
PICK #17 The  Dolphins Pick:
Janoris Jenkins (CB, Florida) |
| In the AFC East you can never have too many corners! |
|
 |
PICK #18 The  Packers Pick:
Aaron Williams (CB, Texas) |
| The Packers starters at corner are both getting on a bit and they need some young blood at the position. |
|
 |
PICK #19 The  Bengals Pick:
Rahim Moore (S, UCLA) |
| None of the Bengals safeties really stand out as being better than average - that changes now. |
|
 |
PICK #20 The  Redskins Pick:
Andrew Luck (QB, Stanford) |
| Donovan McNabb is only a short-term answer at QB. They need to find an heir at that position. |
|
 |
PICK #21 The  Titans Pick:
Kristofer ODowd (C, USC) |
| After releasing Kevin Mawae, the interior of the Titans offensive line is going to need looking at. |
|
|
PICK #22 The Patriots Pick:
John Clay (HB, Wisconsin) |
| Laurence Maroney hasn't lived up to his billing in New England. Time to replace him. |
|
 |
PICK #23 The  Bears Pick:
Robert Quinn (DE, North Carolina) |
| The Bears hoped the late Gaines Adams would be the guy to improve their defensive end play. Now they need to look elsewhere. |
|
 |
PICK #24 The  Saints Pick:
Matt Reynolds (OT, Brigham Young) |
| This may just be my opinion but I can't see Jermon Bushrod lasting as their starter past this season. |
|
 |
PICK #25 The  Falcons Pick:
Kyle Rudolph (TE, Notre Dame) |
| Tony Gonzalez can't go on forever so the Falcons need to find a replacement sooner than later. |
|
 |
PICK #26 The  Jets Pick:
Adrian Clayborn (DE, Iowa) |
| Another guy who is a very good fit for their 3-4 defense. |
|
 |
PICK #27 The  49ers Pick:
DaQuan Bowers (DE, Clemson) |
| The 49ers may win their division by default but they still need to look at their defense if they want to compete for a title. |
|
 |
PICK #28 The  Ravens Pick:
Stefen Wisniewski (C, Penn State) |
| Matt Birk won't be around forever so they need to find a replacement at center. |
|
 |
PICK #29 The  Vikings Pick:
Blaine Gabbert (QB, Missouri) |
| Lord Favre of Hattiesburg will eventually retire and the Vikings won't want to go back to T-Jack. |
|
 |
PICK #30 The  Chargers Pick:
Clint Boling (OT, Georgia) |
| Boling is a versatile lineman who will bring a good work ethic to the Chargers line. |
|
 |
PICK #31 The  Cowboys Pick:
Lee Ziemba (OT, Auburn) |
| After cutting Flozell Adams the Cowboys need to find a quality left tackle. |
|
 |
PICK #32 The  Colts Pick:
Tyron Smith (OT, USC) |
| Tony Ugoh appears to have bottomed out, so finding a new LT could be an issue. |
|
|
|
|
Cardinals Pick:
Giants Pick:
