NFL Mock Draft (Updated: 4/7)

By: Brandon Wangrin

1. St. Louis Rams- Sam Bradford- Oklahoma- Quarterback: Bradford will be the #1 pick for the St. Louis Rams. He will give them a “face of the franchise” and something to build around.

2. Detroit Lions- Ndamukong Suh– Nebraska- Defensive Tackle: This defense needs size and Suh gives them that. He will apply pressure on the quarterback as well as stop the run.

3. Tampa Bay Buccaneers- Gerald McCoy- Oklahoma- Defensive Tackle: I believe they should pick Eric Berry here, but I think they will go with McCoy. They were near the bottom in sacks last year and need to get more pressure on the quarterback. McCoy will start right away.

4. Washington Redskins- Russell Okung- Oklahoma State- Offensive Tackle: Okung is the most talented offensive lineman in the draft. He is “NFL ready”, has a HUGE body, and is good in run and pass protection. Now that the Redskins addressed their issues at quarterback with Donovan McNabb their is no need to draft a quarterback, obviously.

(DAY 3) With the 7, 8, 9 Picks…

By: Brandon Wangrin

I am going to tell you who I believe each team should draft with their picks for the first three rounds (over the next 34 days, three picks a day). Different than a Mock Draft because in a Mock Draft I tell you who I believe they will pick in the NFL Draft. In these articles I am telling you who I would pick if I were each team.

7. Cleveland Browns- Dez Bryant– Wide Receiver- Oklahoma State

I first believed that the Browns would go with inside linebacker Rolando McClain, but the more and more I read about how they are thinking about drafting Colt McCoy with their second round pick makes me believe they will go with the very talented receiver Dez Bryant. Bryant is 6’2 220 lbs and is extremely explosive. Bryant would make this receiving core look pretty good on paper with Bryant, Massaquoi, and Robiskie for the future. The Browns want this offense to change this off-season and adding a weapon like Bryant would change it.

8. Oakland Raiders- Earl Thomas- Safety- Texas

The Raiders have a pretty good defense already and if they added a play making safety like Earl Thomas, they could take their defense to the next level. People think they will go with an offensive lineman here, but I would wait until the 2nd round to address that issue. Thomas ran a 4.44 forty time in the Combine, so you know that Al Davis will like that.

9. Buffalo Bills- Brian Bulaga- Offensive Tackle- Iowa

The word to describe Brian Bulaga is polished. He has great fundamentals and is strong. The Bills need an offensive tackle to block for Trent Edwards, a player that Chan Gailey believes he can turn around. Bulaga will protect the blind side for Edwards right away. Plus, Iowa knows how to produce offensive lineman so there is not much room for bust here.

(DAY 1) Picks 1, 2, 3

(DAY 2) Picks 4, 5, 6

NFL Mock Draft: Updated (2/4)

The Big Board has also been updated.

By: Brandon Wangrin

1. St. Louis Rams– Sam Bradford– Oklahoma- Quarterback: The Rams need a quarterback to mold their franchise around and Bradford will be NFL ready by next season.

2. Detroit Lions– Ndamukong Suh– Nebraska- Defensive Tackle: The Lions need to get bigger defensively and Suh will turn in to a star under Jim Schwartz.

3. Tampa Bay Buccaneers– Eric Berry– Tennessee- Safety: The Buccaneers need a game changing player at the safety position. I believe Berry is the best player in the draft and think this would be a great draft pick for the Buccaneers.
