2011 NFL Mock Draft


Like always the goal is to get 10. The Under/Over is 9.5. Last year I had a career high with 9.5 thanks to me calling Colt McCoy to the Brownies in my bonus picks. Anyway I give myself credit if the player goes to the team I said, even if the pick number isn't correct. Lets do this.

1. Carolina Panthers - Cam Newton, QB, Auburn ----- I'm not a big fan of Cam. He won't be as awful as JaMarcus Russell, but it could be close.

2. Denver Broncos - Marcell Dareus, DT, Alabama ----- The Broncos need a lot of help and Dareus is a beast and can make an impact like Ndamukong Suh did last year.

3. Buffalo Bills - Von Miller, OLB, Texas A&M ----- The Bills aren't gonna be good for awhile regardless of who they pick.

4. Cincinnati Bengals - AJ Green, WR, Georgia ----- The Bungals need a QB, but they are to stubborn to draft one. So at least they will have a good receiver for Carson Palmer's brother to throw to.

5. Arizona Cardinals - Blaine Gabbert, QB, Missouri ----- Kenny Whiz needs a quarterback, I don't think Gabbert is going to be great, but he will be a huge improvement over Derek Anderson.

6. Cleveland Browns - Julio Jones, WR, Alabama ----- The Browns think they found their QB in Colt McCoy so they need to surround him with more weapons.

7. San Francisco 49ers - Patrick Peterson, CB, LSU ----- The most talented player in the draft and a great pick for a team that ranked 24th against the pass last year.

8. Tennessee Titans - Nick Fairley, DT, Auburn ----- They lost Albert Haynesworth two years ago, why not draft another beast DT with character questions. Fairley has all the talent to make it, but I think hes gonna get paid and call it day.

9. Dallas Cowboys - Tyron Smith, OT, USC

10. Washington Redskins - Robert Quinn, DE, UNC

11.Houston Texans - Aldon Smith, DE, Missouri

12. Minnesota Vikings - Cameron Jordan, DE, California

13. Detroit Lions - Prince Amukamara, CB, Nebraska ----- The Lions are going to be pretty good in a few years especially if they add the Prince this year.

14. St. Louis Rams - Corey Liuget, DT, Illinois

15. Miami Dolphins - Mike Pouncey, OL, Florida ----- I am praying that Pouncey slips and the Steelers trade up to grab him so they can reunite the twins in the Steel City, but my hopes aren't too high.

16. Jacksonville Jaguars - J.J Watt, DE, Wisconsin

17. New England Patriots - Anthony Costanzo, OT, Boston College ----- Bill Belichick is probably going to trade to this pick, their next pick, and every pick they trade for and completely screw up my mock draft. So thank you in advance, you hooded sweatshirt bum.

18. San Diego Chargers - Ryan Kerrigan, DE, Purdue

19. New York Giants - Mark Ingram, RB, Alabama ----- They might trade back to make this pick but with Brandon Jacobs skills declining, Ingram could be a great fit for Big Blue.

20. Tampa Bay Bucs - Da'Quan Bowers, DE, Clemson ----- Three months ago he was the number one pick but his knee might give out on his way up the steps to greet the commish. High risk, high reward for the Bucs but at pick 20 Bowers is a good value.

21. Kansas City Chiefs - Gabe Carimi, OT, Wisconsin

22. Indianapolis Colts - Nate Solder, OT, Colorado

23. Philadelphia Eagles - Jimmy Smith, CB, Colorado

24. New Orleans Saints - Muhammad Wilkerson, DE, Temple

25. Seattle Seahawks - Jake Locker, QB, Washington ----- Another bust, but the Seahawks need a QB, they might trade down to get Locker or even wait and try to get Andy Dalton later in round two.

26. Baltimore Ravens - Cameron Heyward, DE, Ohio State

27. Atlanta Falcons - Adrian Clayborn, DE, Iowa

28. Minnesota Vikings (Projected Trade from New England)- Andy Dalton, QB, TCU ----- I'm two steps ahead of you Billy. I think the Pats, will trade this pick to a team looking for a QB, since Locker just got taken. Lets hope its the Vikings.

29. Chicago Bears - Marvin Austin, DL, UNC

30. New York Jets - Justin Houston, LB, Georgia ----- Now that Vernon Gholston has officially been deemed a bust, the Jets need to some OLB's like the Pittsburgh Steelers have, considering Rexy sends eight men blitzes all the time.

31. Pittsburgh Steelers - Aaron Williams, CB, Texas ----- I still want Mike Pouncey, but the Steelers also need help at corners. Ike Taylor is a free agent and not getting any younger, Bryant McFadden played well last year but isn't a lock down corner, and William Gay is a third corner at best. Mike Tomlin you better draft a corner or offensive lineman.

32. Green Bay Packers - Danny Watkins, OG, Baylor

Bonus Picks:

39. Tennessee Titans - Ryan Mallet, QB, Arkansas ----- He won't get to celebrate on thirsty Thursday, but he will have a great Friday night.

78. St. Louis Rams - Jordan Todman, RB, UConn ----- I have no idea when Todman will be picked, hopefully its in the third round or earlier, but Steven Jackson can't play forever so the Rams might be looking for an RB in the later rounds.
