BYB NFL Mock Draft

Alright football fans, you now have the opportunity to view information that some men would kill for – my NFL Mock Draft. I’m more accurate than Gray’s Sports Almanac.

1. Panthers – Cam Newton, QB, Auburn – I have a feeling the Panthers aren’t going to pass up the opportunity to get an upgrade over Jimmy Clausen. They’re talking to a lot of different players but when it’s all said and done they’ll take the franchise QB.
2. Broncos – Marcell Dareus, DT, Alabama – The Broncos are transitioning to yet another new defense and could use a big, athletic tackle who can play along the line. Dareus will be they’re guy.
3. Bills – Blaine Gabbert, QB, Missouri – Bills Coach Chan Gailey has said QB is not a need but they would consider taking one anyway. They could go safe at another position but given their recent draft record, is any pick really safe?
4. Bengals – A.J. Green, WR, Georgia – With T.O. gone and Ochocinco possibly on his way out the Bengals need a big time infusion of talent at wideout so this should be their guy.
5. Cardinals – Von Miller, DE, Texas A&M – Miller looks to be one of the quickest, most athletic pass rushers we’ve seen in a while, which is something the Cards could use. If Newton or Gabbert were still around they’d consider taking a QB.
6. Browns – Julio Jones, WR, Alabama – The Browns are set to move ahead with Colt McCoy. Now they just need to get him some targets.
7. 49ers – Patrick Peterson, CB, LSU – Many experts have Peterson as the best prospect available. He’s uber fast, tall and can return kicks too. He won’t slip past here.
8. Titans – Nick Fairley, DT, Auburn – Fairley rubbed some teams the wrong way by being flaky at the combine and some team days but the Titans defensive line coach coached Fairley at Auburn. He’ll vouch for him.
9. Cowboys – Robert Quinn, DE, North Carolina – I’ve learned when it comes to the Boys to just pick the most ridiculous move possible. Here it is.
10. Redskins – Da’Quan Bowers, DE, Clemson – Bowers has been held back by some injuries but he probably has the best ability of all the defensive ends in the draft.
11. Texans – Prince Amukamara, CB, Nebraska – Amukamara shut down one side of the field last season for Nebraska and after a terrible 2010 season the Texans need a lot of help at DB.
12. Vikings – Jake Locker, QB, Washington – Despite claims that he’s inaccurate Locker can make all the throws necessary to play in the league. He is stock is back on the rise and with no options at QB the Vikings will see it fit to pick him.
13. Lions – Cameron Jordan, DE, Cal – The Lions will add a speedy pass rusher to an already impressive defensive line.
14. Rams – Corey Liuguet, DT, Illinois
15. Dolphins – Mark Ingram, RB, Alabama
16. Jaguars – Ryan Kerrigan, DE, Purdue
17. Patriots – J.J. Watt, DE, Wisconsin
18. Chargers – Aldon Smith, DE, Missouri
19. Giants – Anthony Costanzo, OT, Boston College
20. Buccaneers – Adrian Clayborne, DE, Iowa
21. Chiefs – Tyron Smith, OT, USC
22. Colts – Nate Solder, OT, Colorado
23. Eagles – Mike Pouncey, C, Florida
24. Saints – Muhammad Wilkerson, DT, Temple
25. Seahawks – Andy Dalton, QB, TCU
26. Ravens – Jimmy Smith, CB, Colorado
27. Falcons – Cameron Heyward, DE, Ohio State
28. Patriots – Mikel LeShoure, RB, Illinois
29. Bears – Danny Watkins, OT, Baylor
30. Jets – Phil Taylor, DT, Baylor
