2010 NFL Mock Draft

With the National Championship in the bag, we have finally produced our 1st round mock draft. Keep in mind the players at the end of the mock draft have not been included because they are unlikely to declare, yet would be possible 1st round picks if they were to declare.

Rankings: QB - RB - WR - TE - OT - OG - C - DT - DE - OLB - ILB - CB - S

1. St. Louis Rams – Ndamukong Suh, DT, NebraskaNdamukong Suh

The first overall pick seems to go one of two ways every year. Either the top team is flip-flopping on the who is the best overall player, or flip-flopping on what position would help their franchise more. This year, the near consensus top overall prospect is the Ndamukong Suh, with some saying Eric Berry, who will most certainly not be the top overall pick. However, the Rams could look to draft a quarterback like Sam Bradford, who would exceed in a dome, or Jimmy Clausen, who would help in the now as they retool their offensive line. That debate will rage on in the Rams front office for a lot shorter time than it will on the outside, as they will decide rather quickly if they want to replace Marc Bulger or not. However, by adding Suh to a young defense that features Chris Long, Adam Carricker, James Laurinaitis, and OJ Atogwe, the Rams can begin to not allow big chunks of yardage in all facets of the game and can begin to make a climb towards mediocrity once again.

2. Detroit Lions – Russell Okung, OT, Oklahoma State

The Lions have a tough choice to make at this pick, as they have three very real options here at the number two overall pick. They could go with Russell Okung, and allow Gosder Cherilus to stay on the right side and move Jeff Backus inside to guard, creating a very solid offensive line unit to play with thei playmakers around Matt Stafford. They could go with Gerald McCoy to help ease the losses of Shaun Rodgers and Shaun Cody in recent years and provide a major upgrade over Sammie Lee Hill, 2009 5th rounder. Or, they could go with Eric Berry and, tag-teamed with 2nd rounder Louis Delmas, would created one of, if not thee, most feared defensive back corps in the league. In the end, I’d rather and Stafford would rather the front office to finish off the offensive side of the ball and safe the defensive side for later rounds and 2011. We’ll see what the Lions do as they try to move from constant rebuilding to playoff contenders.

3. Tampa Bay Bucs – Gerald McCoy, DT, Oklahoma

The Bucs will likely have a choice between two players at this point in the draft, depending on what the Lions do just ahead. The top two prospects on the board are clearly Eric Berry and Gerald McCoy, and both would be welcomed by the Bucs. Tanard Jackson has been a stable force for the Bucs, so safety isn’t a huge need, but an Ed Reed like playmaker wouldn’t hurt as this secondary begins to rebuild. However, the better fit is Gerald McCoy, as last years 3rd rounder Roy Miller is more a solid back-up than a true difference-maker. The presumed top overall defensive tackle a season ago and likely a 1st rounder, McCoy came back to Oklahoma only to boost his stock even higher and give more credence to the fact that he should be a great pass rusher in the pros.

Jimmy Clausen4. Washington Redskins – Jimmy Clausen, QB, Notre Dame

As usual with every two or three years, owner Daniel Snyder is looking for a total makeover for his team. He’s already hired a new GM in Bruce Allen and is near complete of his hiring of Mike Shanahan. So, with an offensive line that’s in need of rebuilding and retooling for Shanahan’s zone blocking scheme, the easy position pick would be offensive line. However, both Trent Williams and Anthony Davis are not good fits for the Shanahan offense, so that is likely not an option. Either way, however, it appears Daniel Snyder has given up on Jason Campbell, and quarterback seems to be the biggest team weakness in his eyes. Because Clausen is a more well rounded quarterback, he will likely intrigue Shanahan and Snyder, and should thrusted into the starting job a la Mark Sanchez.

5. Kansas City Chiefs – Eric Berry, S, Tennessee

The Chiefs draft plans should be relatively easy. They are likely to target Russell Okung, Eric Berry, and Gerald McCoy. And with Ndamukong Suh and a quarterback probably picks at #1 and #4, they should be guaranteed one of the three. They will take the remaining one, which in this case happens to be Eric Berry. With the Chiefs defensive coordinator job open and possibly adding Romeo Crennel, the defense will be looking for a player to hang their hat on as their best player. Berry can fit in well with the young secondary and allow an extra headache for opposing quarterbacks as the Chiefs attempt to finally solve their pass rushing question marks.

6. Seattle Seahawks – Sam Bradford, QB, Oklahoma

Seattle has a great chance with a new GM and two first round picks to really change their franchise around. They can either go with an offensive tackle here and look for a quarterback or the BPA with their latter of first rounders, or get their quarterback of the future and take the BPA later on. With only the Redskins and Rams looking for a quarterback before them and the Rams likely to take “King NdamuKONG Suh”, one of the two will be here. They would have loved if Jake Locker declared and fell here, as he’d be the perfect fit in more ways than one. Bradford has the outstanding accuracy that would bode well in the west coast system under Jim Mora Jr., and he’ll have weapons already set around him at receiver. A left tackle like Trent Williams and Anthony Davis would be smart as well to transition from the Walter Jones era, so watch for that selection as well.

7. Cleveland Browns – Dez Bryant, WR, Oklahoma State

It’s obvious to tell when a franchise is struggling for playmakers when their return man and wildcat-back is their feature player when promoting their games. With Bradford and Clausen likely gone by this point, there’s no quarterback available here to find a new franchise guy, so they’ll likely look at the best players available. Their offensive and defensive line are pretty set and solid, and they have some youth at corner and linebacker. Jerome Harrison has played outstanding to end the season, and 7 is a bit high for a running back unless he’s of Adrian Peterson’s quality. That leaves receiver, and Dez Bryant shouldn’t be considered a lackluster choice. Bryant has the size of a red zone threat, the deep speed of a go-route deep ball man, and the toughness to not be a liability in blocking. Bryant is as complete as they come as a receiver, and if his character issues clear with most franchises, Bryant shouldn’t slip out of the top 15. With Cribbs, Harrison, Robiskie, Massaquoi, and now Bryant, the Browns can’t help but improve their embarrassing passing attack from 2009.

8. Buffalo Bills – Anthony Davis, OT, Rutgers

Trading Jason Peters a season go was viewed as one of the steals of the decade for the Eagles, as they got a franchise and one of the best left tackles in the game for a 1st and 3rd round pick. Now, the Bills are left with a huge hole to fill at left tackle as well as needing help along most of the rest of the line. With Russell Okung most likely gone by this point, Rutgers will have to choose between one of the three next tier offensive lineman: Trent Williams, Bruce Campbell, or Anthony Davis. Personally, all three have flaws and of the three, we as a department like Davis the least. But, from what we’ve heard so far, many NFL evaluators like the potential of Anthony Davis as a Flozell Adams clone. Either way, the Bills will have options at left tackle come the 8th pick, but don’t rule out a new quarterback if Bradford or Clausen slips to here.

9. Oakland Raiders - Trent Williams, OT, Oklahoma

You’d think I’d learn my lesson by now, but I keep hoping (and projecting) that this is the year. The year that Al Davis will finally let his coaches coach and scouts scout and let the team fill needs with players other than workout warriors. From the enormous tackle (and bust) of Robert Gallery, to the monster quarterback (and bust) JaMarcus Russell, the Raiders have struggled in round one in recent years. And I always hope they make the safe pick and help their offensive line. So, with the hope that Al Davis will rethink his rumored plans of firing the only stable coach they’ve had in a while in Tom Cable, the offensive line could use help. Mario Henderson is a good option at right tackle, and by pushing him over, the offensive line could be drastically improved. A quarterback to replace Russell is an option, but with Clausen and Bradford likely not being here and the enormous salary of Russell that still has to be paid, that’s unlikely.

10. Denver Broncos (via Chicago) – Rolando McClain, ILB, AlabamaRolando McClain

This pick coming over in the Jay Cutler trade, the Broncos defense could use help. Their offense was a pleasant surprise with Kyle Orton playing well up until the end of the year, Knowshon Moreno earning his merit as a Top 15 pick, and Brandon Marshall staying headache-free. Although the defense played well, adding to the young nucleolus of talent could keep this team in playoff contention for years to come. With DJ Williams, Elvis Dumervil, and Robert Ayers at the forefront of the defensive linebacking corps, adding a talent like Rolando McClain would make them easily the most exciting in the league. Compared to Patrick Willis, McClain is a team leader who flies all around the field and is a very reliable tackler and big hitter. Taylor Mays is an option as well with their need of a top notch safety, but is he worth the risk for a defense so close to being a great unit? Likely not.

11. San Francisco 49ers (via Carolina) – Derrick Morgan, OLB, Georgia Tech

With their 1st of two first rounders, this one from the Panthers, the 49ers will likely target on of their top two needs. The first is a pass rushing OLB, where Manny Lawson and Parys Harlson aren’t doing enough to keep the team from needing an upgrade. The second is cornerback, where Nate Clements has not emerged as the shut down guy they though they would. With those positions, there are two main options, very obvious at this point. Joe Haden, cornerback from Florida, is the consensus top cornerback, with a physical nature yet the athletic ability to stay with any receiver. Derrick Morgan is the next in a long line of very talented Georgia Tech defensive lineman, and with Carlos Dunlap under the gun with DUI chargers, Morgan is the consensus top rush linebacker. They would like to get both, but Morgan is likely the better prospect and viewed as more important to the 3-4 defense than a cornerback.

12. Jacksonville Jaguars – Joe Haden, CB, Florida

The Jaguars need help at a variety of positions, but not many worthy of a 1st round pick. They need a quarterback of the future, running back depth, guard help, a second defensive tackle, and more. But where they could use an upgrade most definitely is the secondary. Reggie Nelson at free safety is still young and is likely set their for years. But Rasheed Mathis is getting up their in years and the Jags need help in replacing him. Joe Haden is the top cornerback prospect with his fluid hips, physical nature, and overall athletic talent. Haden can step in day one and be a factor and would help this defense drastically both now and in the future. A quarterback or linebacker would be intriguing as well.

13. Tennessee Titans – Terrence Cody, DT, Alabama

Many don’t have big Mount Cody going this high, but once scouts take a look at his film and see him work at the Senior Bowl, the 1st round will be a lock. Cody may be a little (sarcasm) oversized at close to 400 pounds, but for a guy his size, he’s fairly athletic. He fights through double teams well and plays with good leverage and strength. With the Titans in desperate need to replace Albert Haynesworth, there may not a be a better match in round one than Cody to be the new Haynesworth. A linebacker or cornerback could be an option as well, but Cody just makes too much sense.

14. San Francisco 49ers – Perrish Cox, CB, Oklahoma State

If you haven’t heard of Perrish Cox yet, get ready. Cox is no question a Top 3 cornerback in this class and has the size and toughness to be a legitimate shut down cornerback. He matched up with AJ Green, a probable 1st round wide receiver in the 2011 draft, and completely shut him down, even nearly getting two interceptions in that game. Cox in the Top 15 sounds outlandish at first, but with the 49ers already having their pass rusher and have no other glaring needs for round 1, a bit of a reach for Cox is understandable. Taking the best player available like Taylor Mays or Brandon Spikes is an option too, but Cox isn’t that much of a reach to pass on a position of need.

15. Miami Dolphins – Brandon Spikes, ILB, Florida

First off, let me start by saying that Bill Parcels has done one of the best turnarounds in recent memory. Just two short seasons ago, the Dolphins were 1-15 and look in dire need of a three year rebuilding plan. Well, just two seasons removed from that, the Dolphins have boasted a 18-14 record and have either made or just missed the playoffs for two straight years. Still, they need an upgrade in overall talent and in the middle of the first round, they have the luxury of taking the best players available. Taylor Mays is most likely the most coveted player remaining, but Parcells has seen what Roy Williams brought to the table and likely will stay away from his near-clone. Spikes and Channing Crowder can help in the run defense dramatically, plus Spikes is more of a playmaker and Crowder can let him continue that play. A physical receiver is an option, but Brandon LaFell is the only receiver worthy of this pick and he doesn’t fit their need, and it’s too high for Desmond Briscoe.

Eric Norwood16. Atlanta Falcons – Eric Norwood, OLB, South Carolina

Asking for a repeat playoff appearance from the formerly dismal Falcons was too much this season. Still, the Falcons are one of the most exciting young teams in the league right now and are a few playmakers away from being a Super Bowl threat. The Falcon pass rush has been a cause for concern, one of the few, and they need to upgrade that somehow, without moving their young Jamal Anderson and Lawrence Sidbury and keeping John Abraham at his right end position. With Mike Peterson and Stephen Nicholas responsible for only 4 sacks this year, adding the SEC all time sack leader for a linebacker like Eric Norwood would be a huge upgrade. Though he may not be as sexy of a pick as Brandon Spikes or Navarro Bowman or Sergio Kindle, Norwood fits the Falcon scheme perfectly and can provide an instant upgrade at the linebacker spot to replace the aging Mike Peterson.

17. Pittsburgh Steelers – Bruce Campbell, OT, Maryland

After winning one of the more memorable Super Bowls, the Steelers are one of winning record teams on the outside of the post-season looking in. The reason of their struggles? Look no further than the offensive line. Big Ben Roethlisberger was sacked 50 times this year, an enormous amount and shows a spot where the Steelers need help. After Marvel Smith left last season, the Steelers had questions on who the new right tackle would be, and unfortunately they haven’t been answered yet. The 6-7 giant that is Bruce Campbell can be another pass blocking force opposite the 6-8 Starks and aid in doing a much better job in pass protection. A cornerback may be an option here as well, but it seems too early for Patrick Robinson or Donovan Warren, though both would be solid fits.

18. New York Giants – CJ Spiller, RB, Clemson

After having arguably the best draft a season ago and already seeing results (Hakeem Nicks, William Beatty, and Clint Sintim all have starts this season), the Giants will look to add another great crop of players to their immense talent pool they have now. A big difference the Giants have had to deal with from their 10-6 2008 finish to their 8-8 playoff-less 2009 season is the loss of Derrick Ward. With Ward, the Giants boasted the most powerful rushing attack in the league, boasting over 2500 yards and average 5.0 yards a carry. In this past season without Derrick Ward, they had 1800+ and only 4.1 yards a carry, putting more pressure on a Plaxico Burress-less Eli Manning offense. How to fix that? Bring in the most dynamic offensive player this draft has to offer. Arguably the MVP to his team in the country in college, Spiller can return kicks as well as any in the league now, has proved he can carry a load, and can complement Jacobs perfectly. Taylor Mays could be an intriguing option as well with their need for a playmaking safety, but Spiller can jump start this offense back to their 2000+ rushing yard attack.

19. Seattle Seahawks (via Denver) – Taylor Mays, S, USCTaylor Mays

Finally, the freefall of Taylor Mays is over. After selecting their quarterback of the future with their first pick, the Seahawks have the luxury of taking the best player on the board. They may want to consider an offensive tackle, especially with Bruce Campbell and/or Charles Brown on the board. Still, however, Deon Grant isn’t going to be productive much longer and Mays can complete this defense and make them dynamic at every level. Mays has some questions as to whether he has a true NFL position, but his athletic ability gets defensive coordinators giddy. Mays or an offensive tackle will be a tough choice for the Seahawks, but Mays is too good to pass up on as now.

20. Houston Texans – Brandon LaFell, WR, LSU

In most respects, the last thing the Texans need to emphasize the offense in the draft. However, their main needs of defensive back help doesn’t have a great value, plus this class is deeper than it is top heavy and the Texans can address that in the 2nd or 3rd round. The Texans are in a position to take the best player available, and with Andre Johnson being the top receiver in the league yet needing a co-pilot, Brandon LaFell can be the perfect complement. Johnson is a physical, deep threat receiver and Kevin Walter isn’t doing enough to be a stable #2 option. With the reliable Walter in the slot and the powerful LaFell on the outside, Matt Schab can’t help but have an Aaron Rodgers explosion. If Taylor Mays is here, that could be an option, as well as a running back like Jonathan Dwyer to be a power back to Steve Slaton’s speed, but LaFell can take this offense to even higher heights.

21. New York Jets – Carlos Dunlap, OLB, Florida

Rex Ryan has already done a great job in turning the constantly mediocre Jets defense into one of the most feared in the league. Still, however, the Jets lack those great 3-4 pass rushers that are needed to complete the defense Ryan runs. Calvin Pace and Vernon Gholston aren’t working on the right side as dominating force, and a Terrell Suggs-like talent could maintain the defenses success. Dunlap was viewed as a Top 15 prospect before he was charged with a DUI, a situation that will likely cause him to take a minor tumble. Still, no prospect (outside of Tim Tebow and Colt McCoy) is flawless off the field, and Dunlap wasn’t going to be a top-notch charity guy anyways. Dunlap has the size, speed, and athletic ability to be a dominting force in the 3-4 defense. A nose tackle like Terrence Cody or a receiver like Golden Tate to complement Braylon Edwards could be options as well, but likely Ryan will target the defense in this draft after an offensive 2009 draft.

22. Baltimore Ravens – Damian Williams, WR, USC

As expected by NFLHouse.com, Joe Flacco took a step back, though minor, this season due to his lack of weapons in the passing game. Todd Heap and Derrick Mason out-performed expectations, but they still lack a true playmaker on the outside. Damiam Williams is the battling with Golden Tate as the top speed receiver in this draft class, but as of now and in our eyes, Williams wins out. He has return potential as well as being a more fine-tuned route runner than the former running back Golden Tate. A linebacker like Jason Pierre-Paul on the outside or Navarro Bowman on the inside could be an option to keep this defense from over-aging, but helping Flacco should be the top priority.

23. Green Bay Packers – Jahvid Best, RB, California

Since the downfall of Ahmad Green’s success in Green Bay, the Packers have been in need of a true playmaking back. Sure Ryan Grant has played well and Brandon Jackson has done a good job in spelling him, but with their offensive line being the key to that success and them aging, a dynamic back is needed as they try to ease this offense from the Brett Favre era to the Aaron Rodgers era. Obviously an offensive lineman is a solid option as well, and Mike Iupati could fit well at right tackle, but adding Best can give this already improving offense a dynamic weapon that will be tough to stop.

24. Arizona Cardinals – Jason Pierre-Paul, OLB, South Florida

In my eyes a surprise declaree, the recent jump from JUCO to Big East stud has lead Jason Pierre-Paul to make the early jump. Pierre-Paul has somehow, at times, out performed the massive production of opposite side defensive end George Selvie. Pierre-Paul, as of now, is a 2nd-3rd round prospect, but once his athletic tests are completed, he will begin to shoot up boards die to his versatility. Reminds me a lot of a Terrell Suggs, Pierre-Paul could add a playmaking outside linebacker for this surprisingly solid defense. An inside linebacker could be needed if Karlos Dansby is let go, but it’s unlikely Spikes or McClain would be here, and Bowman isn’t a great fit for the Cardinal defense.

Mike Iupati25. Cincinnati Bengals – Mike Iupati, OG, Idaho

Everyone knew Eric Berry, Ndamukong Suh, and Russell Okung would be among the top seniors in the country at their positions since the end of the 2008-09 season. However, if you asked anyone outside of Idaho if Mike Iupati would be a 1st rounder, they’d say there’s no chance of that. However, his rise up the draft boards has been meteoric and has landed himself a spot in the Top 40 selections. The Bengals have been a pleasant surprise this season, and look to be on track to have a stable next few years. They have invested heavily in their defense in the first two rounds in the past few years, taking cornerbacks like Leon Hall and Jonathan Joseph and linebackers like Keith Rivers and Rey Maualuga. But now, after selecting Andre Smith in round one a year ago to be their left tackle, they could use their luxury low round pick to continue building that offensive line by adding the top guard prospect in the draft. Iupati can play right tackle if need by, but he can slide into the left guard spot and hopefully form a Walter Jones/Steve Hutchinson combo like the Seahawks used to ride onto the Super Bowl.

26. Dallas Cowboys – Golden Tate, WR, Notre Dame

Although the Cowboys have enjoyed a Romo resurgence at the end of the season and maybe carried into the playoffs, the Cowboys biggest weakness in the now is a speed receiver. Miles Austin has all the makings of a one-year wonder: unknown reserve to start the season, hardworker lacking natural talent, etc. Adding a dynamic receiver like Golden Tate will give Romo a more stable weapon that will open up throwing lanes for the oft-complaining Roy Williams. Their offensive line is aging quickly and they are on the verge of having the oldest line in the league and they’re beginning to deteriorate. Charles Brown or if Bruce Campbell/Trent Williams fall this far are solid options as well, but Jerry Jones and his “America’s Team” Cowboys wouldn’t mind adding “America’s College” in Notre Dame’s best offensive weapon at receiver.

27. New England Patriots – Brandon Graham, OLB, Michigan

I have been an avid supporter of many Michigan products in recent years, from Alan Branch to LaMarr Woodley to David Harris. However, the Michigan defense struggled mightily this year, with only two players appearing to be top four prospects. One, being Donovan Warren (see later), and the other is Brandon Graham. Graham at times seemed like the only defensive lineman making headway up field and seems to give all out effort on every play. Graham offers versatility and actually plays like a more outside linebacker version of Adalius Thomas, current starting linebacker. Graham is a fringe 1st rounder and in my eyes a bit of a reach here, but he seems to be a Belichek type player. A receiver could be an option with Welker better off in the slot and coming off that knee injury.

28. Minnesota Vikings – Tim Tebow, QB/ATH, FloridaTim Tebow

This pick is, for the most part, based on much speculation. Do the Vikings need Tim Tebow? Before I answer that, I’ll ask another question. Last season during draft time, the Vikings had Sidney Rice and Bernard Berrian at receiver. Yet we, and other draft sites, had Percy Harvin as the Vikings pick since the day the draft order was announced. Did they need Percy Harvin? No, but he went on to win rookie of the year and they haven’t looked back. Brett Favre is playing either his last or second to last year and with Tavaris Jackson and gone after the year and Sage Rosenfelds nothing to build around, it seems to be about the time for the Vikings to target a quarterback of the future. Tebow will need at least a full year to become a pro quarterback, if he can, and he’ll provide versatility and top-notch intangibles for the Vikings. Plus, if Favre returns, who better for a winner like Tebow to learn from one of the best leaders in NFL history in Favre? If they don’t go with the Tebow route, they could look at another QB like Tony Pike or Colt McCoy or defensive tackle help to replace the aging Pat Williams.

29. Philadelphia Eagles – Navarro Bowman, OLB, Penn State

Aside from the Giants, the 2009 best draft class was arguably in the hands of the Philadelphia Eagles. I believe that Andy Reid has done of the best jobs in the player personnel side of football, as his team has transitioned from the Westbrook, Runyan, Trotter and Dawkins era to now having a strong nucleaus that can be built on even more in this draft. The linebacking corps and the safety position are the two biggest weaknesses on this Eagles roster, and likely will be helped early and often in the draft. Because McClain and Spikes are long gone by now, the Eagles will have to look at the next best 4-3 inside/outside linebacker in Navarro Bowman. Some (such as the “great” Todd McShay) have Bowman rated as a mid-1st rounder. But from what I’ve seen, he’ll need to coaching in tackling form as well as providing versatility. He has raw ability and reads the play well, so I have no doubt the Eagles defensive staff can help him along. Nate Allen, safety from South Florida, is an option, but he doesn’t provide the star power of Bowman and may not be worthy of a 1st round selection.

30. San Diego Chargers – Charles Brown, OT, USC

The Chargers have a luxury pick here in round 1, not having any glaring needs and don’t need a star type player than most expect from a 1st rounder. An inside linebacker could be an option, but Sean Witherspoon is the best true linebacker available and he’s not a great fit. Safety could use help, but again, Nate Allen isn’t worthy of a 1st round pick, though he does fill a need and is a solid 2nd round prospect. With Marcus McNeil always an injury concern, Charles Brown could do well to provide an upgrade on the right side and provide insurance for McNeil. This pick is similar to them taking Larry English last season to play with or as a replacement for Shawn Merriman. Brown is a good value here as well, but don’t be surprised if the Chargers look to trade up for a sliding Taylor Mays or trade down out of the 1st round.

31. New Orleans Saints – Sean Witherspoon, OLB, Missouri

The Saints went 13-0 not just because of the outstanding offense. Yes, they boast one of the top 3 quarterbacks in the league and have one of the most prolific offenses in the decade. But their defense has been a huge reason why they have the number one overall seed in the NFC playoffs and have a great chance to reach the Super Bowl. Still, however, they need to continue the building the defense if they hope to remain a steady defense. Jonathan Vilma has played well in the new system, but more linebacker help is needed, and Sean Witherspoon can add to that unit. Witherspoon is a very smooth athlete for a linebacker and can be great in space on the weakside or in blitzing. A cornerback could be an option with Patrick Robinson, Donovan Warren, and Kyle Wilson available here, but adding to the run defense could prove more crucial.

32. Indianapolis Colts – Patrick Robinson, CB, Florida State

The projected AFC favorites are still working to maintain their defense’s ability to keep up with the dangerous offenses in the conference. Adding a physical cornerback like Patrick Robinson can give this unit a true playmaking starter rather than their hoard of solid starters. Robinson has been inconsistent this year and instead of fighting with Joe Haden for the top cornerback spot, Robinson and his great athletic ability may not even be the top senior cornerback. A safety aid in constantly losing Bob Sanders is a very real possibility, but there’s no strong safety prospects that are likely to fall to this point. So, the Colts will likely add to their cornerback depth towards or at the end of the 1st round.

The Bucs will really likely have a choice between two players at this point in the draft, depending on what the Lions do just ahead. It's interesting that adding a physical cornerback like Patrick Robinson can give this unit a true playmaking starter. Nice blog.
