2010 NFL Draft Thread!

[Color Me Badd Fan]

Here's the draft order:

1. St. Louis (1-15)
2. Detroit (2-14)
3. Tampa Bay (3-13)
4. Washington (4-12)
5. Kansas City (4-12)
6. Seattle (5-11)
7. Cleveland (5-11)
8. Oakland (5-11)
9. Buffalo (6-10)
10t. Denver (Traded from Chicago) (7-9)
10t. Jacksonville (7-9)
12. Miami (7-9)
13. San Francisco (8-8)
14. Seattle (Traded from Denver) (8-8)
15. New York Giants (8-8)
16t. Tennessee (8-8)
16t. San Francisco (Traded from Carolina) (8-8)
18. Pittsburgh (9-7)
19t. Atlanta (9-7)
19t. Houston (9-7)

The biggest question has to be whether St. Louis will draft a QB or go for Suh. With Clausen and Bradford being the two top prospects, St. Louis needs to go with the best DT prospect in the last two decades. Detroit will get a nice consolation prize in Gerald McCoy. If St. Louis does go for a QB, then the next two picks will be Suh and McCoy, it's that simple. Eric Berry will go to either Tampa at #3 (depending on St. Louis's pick) or KC at #5.

Bradford and Clausen won't slip past the next three picks with Washington and Seattle being #4 and #6.

San Francisco is sitting there with the 13th and 16/17th picks. This is a strong draft at the top with the two DT prospects and Eric Berry, and teams will always reach for QBs, so San Francisco will probably sit back and pick up an elite safety or CB (Taylor Mays) and probably the second best left tackle (Trent Williams) in the draft. They also potentially have enough ammo to move up and pick McCoy if St. Louis goes for a QB at #1.

I am hopeful that there is enough buzz created by Clauson or Bradford for the Redskins to trade down. They really have no busiess drafting anything other than a OT.

Would Detroit really go for another QB?

[cougjunkie]

If St. Louis goes with Suh that will be 3 straight D-lineman in the first round. 2 from Nebraska (Adam Carriker, Chris Long and now Suh).

Gerald McCoy, not Colt McCoy.

Detroit also needs a LT. They could have picked Oher last year with their second first round pick.

Detroit should take Russel Okung out of Oklahoma St. They so desperately need a good LT and he is that guy in this draft.

Just imagine if St. Louis picked Jimmy Clausen #1 and then Detroit picked Okung at #2. Okung, btw, is a reach at #2. You still have Suh and McCoy on the board. Tampa desperately needs a DT, so Suh will certainly be gone at that point. But does Washington pick McCoy or go for Bradford? I think they'll got for Bradford. So does KC move down (Pioli is the GM) or do they pick McCoy?

IMO, the three best players in the draft are Suh, Berry and McCoy. In three of the first four picks, the teams will have reached due to positional need. It seems like a team with some ammo (e.g. San Francisco) could move up and pick McCoy or Berry at this point. KC has a lot of holes while San Francisco may feel it only needs one more playmaker on defense. But I still don't see San Francisco making a move. They want two players out of the first round- left tackle and a CB (supposedly Nate Clements is movie to FS). They can possibly land the best CB in the draft (Haden) and the second or third best tackle with the next one.

Berry being there would be nice for Washington. Someone could move up and get him, or the Skins could take him and shore up their secondary. McCoy would also be an interesting pick. I really really really really really hope they don't take Bradford who, like I told Junkie can't take a hit from Colby Clauson let alone Justin Tuck or DeMarcus Ware.

Seattle needs a QB badly. Seneca Wallace isn't even a servicable back up.

If they take another Defensive player with their #1 pick, they are dead to me.

If they take Clausen they are dead to me. In my home, if you mention the words Notre Dame and Seattle Seahawks I will grab my autographed picture of Rick Mirer and beat you to death.

[The_Tick]

Also...I wish Sizzle was around so that he and I could both say I told you so. He said SF was going to win the West, and I told him Seattle would.

We both lose.

Doesn't LaRon Landry play the same position as Berry?

I agree that Bradford would be a horrendous pick, however Clausen would be a pretty good selection at #4.

They should keep Campbell and pick Okung at #4. It would be nice to have Haynesworth and McCoy along the d-line and have Orakpo wreak havoc along the edge, but they need help along that line. But if a premium player falls (e.g. Berry or McCoy) to #4, Washington should trade down. Just imagine if, say, San Francisco packages its two first round picks to move up to #4 to pick either McCoy or Berry. Washington could then pick CJ Spiller and the second or third best LT/RT with San Francisco's picks.

Would you want them to pick Bradford? I think that's a bad idea. Clausen played in the pro-style offense, has the better arm and good NFL size and doesn't have the shoulder injury. As things play out, I would be surprised if Clausen doesn't move ahead of Bradford.

I was one of the people who thought that San Francisco was going to win the West. They at least dominated the Cards but couldn't get a second win against Seattle and a win against the likes of Tennessee and Houston.

I think the future's bright for the Niners though. Only Dallas allowed fewer points in the NFC. They have some great skill players. They just need to shore up an average o-line and hope that Smith continues to improve. Just imagine if they actually were able to sign Kurt Warner during this last offseason.

That would be ideal.

Landry has gone from a hard-hitting tough as nails Safety to a sometimes hard hitting, mostly whiffing, beat in coverage Safety. Not that they should give up on him, but he is playing out of position at Free Safety. I'm not saying Berry is the best pick for the Skins, but I think they were trying to get people to trade up and take Adrian Petersen in 2006 and they ended up taking Landry...which they didn't need at that point, but soon did after Sean Taylor was murdered.

Two first rounders for Washington would be fantastic.

Miami picks 12. If they do not draft Dez Bryant or Golden Tate I will be upset.

It's a good year to be picking #12 for a WR. I don't think a run on WRs will have started year and Miami will have the pick of the litter. But I wonder if Parcells will pick a guy like Bryant who sat out almost the entire year. Parcells likes guys who have started a ton of games and been really productive.
