New Kiper Mock

[BeastMode54]

St. Louis Rams

 

Record: 1-15

Ndamukong Suh, DT, Nebraska

 

Clearly, the Rams need to figure out who will take the snaps, and it'll be interesting to see whether they are overwhelmed by one of the QB options. But unless St. Louis trades down -- which is always difficult given the economics of the draft -- Suh is a safe pick. As I've said before, on film he's maybe the most dominating defensive tackle I've seen. He can help immediately. Oddly, for a player so highly thought of, Suh may be even more versatile than some think.

 

Detroit Lions

 

Record: 2-14

Gerald McCoy*, DT, Oklahoma

 

McCoy or Suh will be a welcome sight for the Lions with the second pick, and McCoy is an extraordinarily good consolation prize for any team unable to get Suh. He's simply not that far behind the former Cornhusker in the eyes of personnel people. McCoy is highly disruptive and an ideal player to use as an attacking defensive tackle in a 4-3 scheme.

 

Tampa Bay Buccaneers

 

Record: 3-13

Eric Berry*, S, Tennessee

 

People will continue to debate the merits of taking a safety so high, but Berry is an exception to any rule. He could be the next to join the class of true difference-makers at the safety position with the likes of Troy Polamalu, Ed Reed (the most frequent comparison) and Bob Sanders. Berry is outstanding in coverage and far more physical than his size would indicate.

 

Washington Redskins

 

Record: 4-12

Jimmy Clausen*, QB, Notre Dame

 

Clausen will gain momentum after the combine. Once he's fully recovered from his toe surgery, he'll show teams he can make the throws, but there's more to it. His intelligence, competitiveness and toughness will impress personnel people, and his stock will rise. Clausen has under-center experience and was as close to mistake-free as he could be given his surroundings this past season.

 

Kansas City Chiefs

 

Record: 4-12

Anthony Davis, OT, Rutgers

 

Davis has the physical talent to be a Pro Bowl player early in his career, but he's still developing. Still, given a choice, the Chiefs can't pass on his upside, which is as high as any player's in the draft. A potential Walter Jones-like presence, if his development continues. The Chiefs also could move Branden Albert to the right side.

 

Seattle Seahawks

 

Record: 5-11

Sam Bradford*, QB, Oklahoma

 

The bottom line on Bradford: This quarterback has 10-point accuracy and could very well have gone ahead of Matthew Stafford as the No. 1 pick last year. He will have a chance to prove to many scouts he's still the elite prospect many believe him to be. It's fair to doubt him, but his talent is unquestionable.

Cleveland Browns

 

Record: 5-11

Joe Haden*, CB, Florida

 

Haden has the chance to be a top-five player at his position very quickly. He also fits an immediate need for Cleveland and is easily the top cornerback on the board, a player it can plug in from day one. A deft cover corner and great tackler, Haden is the total package.

Oakland Raiders

 

Record: 5-11

Jason Pierre-Paul*, DE, South Florida

 

Like Anthony Davis, Pierre-Paul has as much upside as any player in the draft. He's still raw by NFL standards but could contribute quickly just based on incredible athleticism. Once his pass-rushing skills are refined, he's a game-changer.

Buffalo Bills

 

Record: 6-10

Russell Okung, OT, Oklahoma State

 

The Bills should race to the podium as the Redskins did last year when Brian Orakpo landed in their laps. Significant need meets fantastic value here, with Okung being able to step in right away and help a weak offensive line.

Denver Broncos (from Chicago)

 

Record: 7-9

Dez Bryant*, WR, Oklahoma State

 

Obviously, a lot depends on whether Brandon Marshall is expected to be back come draft time, but if he isn't, this pick is a winner. You fill the void with the best deep threat in the draft. Bryant has great size and was unstoppable in the Big 12; he's a weapon in the passing game.

Jacksonville Jaguars

 

Record: 7-9

Derrick Morgan*, DE, Georgia Tech

 

In the first mock, I had Pierre-Paul in this spot, but his rising stock moves him up the board. Morgan certainly hasn't fallen as a prospect and should be snatched up quickly by the pass-rush-deficient Jags. He's as productive and versatile a player as there is in the draft.

Miami Dolphins

 

Record:7-9

Rolando McClain*, LB, Alabama

 

A great get for Miami, a team that needs an inside linebacker and could get the best one in the draft after the top 10. I mentioned before that the Dolphins also could go after Bryant if he were to fall to them here, because they also must address their need at wide receiver. Problem is after Bryant, there's a value gap. If McClain and Bryant are gone here, a trade down the board could be considered.

San Francisco 49ers

 

Record: 8-8

C.J. Spiller, RB, Clemson

 

In Spiller, the 49ers can add a player who complements Frank Gore in a way I don't think Glen Coffee can. Spiller is a home run threat and should spell Gore and diversify the offense. He also provides an upgrade in the return game.

Seattle Seahawks (from Denver)

 

Record: 5-11

Everson Griffen*, DE, USC

 

Seattle could use help on its O-line, but Griffen fills a significant need for pass-rush help here. The Seahawks will take a serious value hit if they select an offensive tackle here with Okung and Davis already off the board. Griffen also has a great size-speed combination, ideal on the edge of a 4-3.

New York Giants

 

Record: 8-8

Sergio Kindle, OLB, Texas

 

Kindle is a need pick for the Giants, who must get stronger in their linebacking corps and could use a little more help with situational pass-rushing than some think. Kindle will need to overcome size issues -- another way of saying he simply could add some bulk to a long (6-4) frame -- but he's proven far sturdier against the run than many who also can rush the passer.

San Francisco 49ers (from Carolina)

 

Record: 8-8

Trent Williams, OT, Oklahoma

 

Considering how good Williams is, even at a position that normally doesn't draw high-to-mid first-round picks, getting him here would be of solid value. Williams could step in immediately at right tackle, and the 49ers would upgrade up front.

Tennessee Titans

 

Record: 8-8

Carlos Dunlap*, DE, Florida

 

At a certain point, even questions surrounding a player's makeup can't overcome the talent, and getting a player like Dunlap at this stage is hard to question. With exceptional size and top-end athleticism for a defensive end, Dunlap should help disrupt opposing passers early in his career.

Pittsburgh Steelers

 

Record: 9-7

Mike Iupati, G, Idaho

 

Iupati was one of the breakout stars at the Senior Bowl. He fits what Pittsburgh likes as an athletic but powerful guard who should help return the Steelers' running game to the upper half of the league. Steve Hutchinson comparisons are legitimate. (Hutchinson went No. 17 overall in the 2001 draft.)

Atlanta Falcons

 

Record: 9-7

Kyle Wilson, CB, Boise State

 

Wilson is another player who jumped at the Senior Bowl. He's fluid, excellent in coverage and an immediate help on special teams. Wilson had a quiet season, but great cornerbacks often do. He simply wasn't challenged enough. Stock is now back on the rise.

Houston Texans

 

Record: 9-7

Brian Price*, DT, UCLA

 

One of the guys who carries over with the same team from the first mock. Price is hidden away a bit in such a deep class of defensive linemen, but he's a disruptive force who uses great leverage. He should help a defense that's really close to being very good.

Cincinnati Bengals

 

Record: 10-6

Demaryius Thomas, WR, Georgia Tech

 

Here's the big riser of the past couple of weeks. Thomas will be red-hot after the workouts get going. He's a big target (6-3, 225 pounds) and a downfield threat. He averaged more than 25 yards per catch and remained productive in a run-based offense based. Carson Palmer needs weapons, and Thomas can be one.

New England Patriots

 

Record: 10-6

Brandon Graham, OLB, Michigan

 

If production were all that mattered, Graham would be long gone by now. He led the FBS in tackles for loss and showed why at the Senior Bowl. Always in the backfield, he's an ideal outside linebacker for the Patriots' system, a terror against both the run and the pass.

Green Bay Packers

 

Record: 11-5

Bryan Bulaga*, OT, Iowa

 

The more you listen to Green Bay's people, the more you get the sense that keeping Aaron Rodgers upright is a major priority, and it should be, because seeing an MVP-level talent knocked out because of a lack of protection is a sad thought. Bulaga can help immediately, and he has room to grow.

Philadelphia Eagles

 

Record: 11-5

Taylor Mays, S, USC

 

The Eagles are looking for that heir to Brian Dawkins, a physical safety who can scare opposing receivers and contribute to the rush defense. Mays has everything you could ask for as a physical package. He had a bad season, and there are legit concerns, but Mays still reeks of top-level NFL athleticism. He just needs to put it together.

Baltimore Ravens

 

Record: 9-7

Arrelious Benn*, WR, Illinois

 

Every indication out of Baltimore is that this organization is committed to finding pieces that can help Joe Flacco. If Benn shows scouts he has the necessary speed, everything else is there. He is physical, can run after the catch and can even help in the return game.

Arizona Cardinals

 

Record: 10-6

Dan Williams, DT, Tennessee

 

I kept Williams here as a solid remedy to fill the Cardinals' second-biggest need. Just a tremendously strong player, starting with exceptional drive from his lower body, Williams is a disruptive force against the run and is a great help to linebackers.

Dallas Cowboys

 

Record: 11-5

Bruce Campbell*, OT, Maryland

 

Cowboys fans with bad memories of getting thrashed up front in the playoffs should be thrilled to get a talent like Campbell right here. Campbell should see his stock rise at the combine, where his athleticism will be on display. If the Cowboys are serious about addressing their biggest need, this is the direction they need to go.

San Diego Chargers

 

Record: 13-3

Terrence Cody, DT, Alabama

 

As I explained earlier this week, I expect to see Cody's stock rise because he may be the purest example in this draft of a guy who, limitations aside, specifically fits a scheme. Cody is the prototype block-occupying clogger in a 3-4 scheme. You can question his weight or his versatility, but he can make other players better. Remember, Jamal Williams' injury is a factor here.

New York Jets

 

Record: 9-7

Devin McCourty, CB, Rutgers

 

The Jets could use some receiving help for Mark Sanchez here as well, but McCourty is a guy whose stock could skyrocket if he runs the way many think he will. The Jets can get exposed when passers throw away from Darrelle Revis, and McCourty could be the answer on the other side.

Minnesota Vikings

 

Record: 12-4

Maurkice Pouncey, G/C, Florida

 

The Vikings could use help on the interior of their offensive line, and Pouncey has a first-round grade as a guard, which makes him an outstanding player. The Vikes did well when they looked to Gainesville in the first round last year.

Indianapolis Colts

 

Record: 14-2

Jared Odrick, DT, Penn State

 

One of the areas in which Indy could use help is along the interior of its defensive line, and Odrick can help the linebackers run free and be disruptive in his own right. Like Williams at No. 26, a great talent buried a little bit in a deep class of defensive linemen.

New Orleans Saints

 

Record: 14-2

Sean Weatherspoon, OLB, Missouri

 

Weatherspoon fits like a glove for the Saints as an outside linebacker in 4-3 system. He has ideal size for the position and is a tackling machine. Weatherspoon has the speed and experience to play inside or out, so adding versatility is also a good value proposition.

[JohnC]

St. Louis Rams

 

Record: 1-15

Ndamukong Suh, DT, Nebraska

 

Clearly, the Rams need to figure out who will take the snaps, and it'll be interesting to see whether they are overwhelmed by one of the QB options. But unless St. Louis trades down -- which is always difficult given the economics of the draft -- Suh is a safe pick. As I've said before, on film he's maybe the most dominating defensive tackle I've seen. He can help immediately. Oddly, for a player so highly thought of, Suh may be even more versatile than some think.

 

Detroit Lions

 

Record: 2-14

Gerald McCoy*, DT, Oklahoma

 

McCoy or Suh will be a welcome sight for the Lions with the second pick, and McCoy is an extraordinarily good consolation prize for any team unable to get Suh. He's simply not that far behind the former Cornhusker in the eyes of personnel people. McCoy is highly disruptive and an ideal player to use as an attacking defensive tackle in a 4-3 scheme.

 

Tampa Bay Buccaneers

 

Record: 3-13

Eric Berry*, S, Tennessee

 

People will continue to debate the merits of taking a safety so high, but Berry is an exception to any rule. He could be the next to join the class of true difference-makers at the safety position with the likes of Troy Polamalu, Ed Reed (the most frequent comparison) and Bob Sanders. Berry is outstanding in coverage and far more physical than his size would indicate.

 

Washington Redskins

 

Record: 4-12

Jimmy Clausen*, QB, Notre Dame

 

Clausen will gain momentum after the combine. Once he's fully recovered from his toe surgery, he'll show teams he can make the throws, but there's more to it. His intelligence, competitiveness and toughness will impress personnel people, and his stock will rise. Clausen has under-center experience and was as close to mistake-free as he could be given his surroundings this past season.

Thanks for the posting. DarthIce is going to be very disappointed by the early qb projections. He'll probably start a new thread about moving up in the draft to get one of his dream qbs.

[Chalkie Gerzowski]

That's the pick I'd like to see.

 

[r00tabaga]

In a second I would take him!

[Armchair GM]

That's the pick I'd like to see.

 

 

I'm more than OK with Davis or Okung...except that Kiper is the first person on the Football Planet that I've seen havingOkung not in the top 5. Not sure, but I think on one of his previous mocks he had us getting Davis @ 9 and he called it a stretch, but we pull the trigger out of need...now he's got him in the top 5 ( I could be otally wrong on that though)

For what it is worth many mock drafts have Okung going to KC or the Redskins if they don't go after a qb.

[DarthICE]

LOL yeah only if we want to be winners. But Fans like you have become so used to sucking for so long I think you like it. Without a stud QB no matter what Defense, O Line or whatever, this team isn't going anywhere.

[bills_fan]

LOL yeah only if we want to be winners. But Fans like you have become so used to sucking for so long I think you like it. Without a stud QB no matter what Defense, O Line or whatever, this team isn't going anywhere.

 

 

And that stud QB will be on IR in 3 weeks if Bell and other motley crew of LTs are protecting his blind side again. I don't disagree with the stud QB argument, but we need a LT pretty bad as well after passing on Oher last year for Maybin. If we had Oher, I'd be right with you in clamoring for the QB.

[billsfan89]

Well I would say this is a dream scenario for the Bills; Okung is a stud LT prospect most have him going top 5. So if A.Davis jumps ahead of him and the two QB's go ahead of us then having a top 5 talent like Okung fall to 9 would be awesome.

[Chalkie Gerzowski]

[buffaloaggie]

I hope this scenario happens. These guys change their mock drafts just so someone will read their column. Just tune out until April.

[Bill from NYC]

LOL yeah only if we want to be winners. But Fans like you have become so used to sucking for so long I think you like it. Without a stud QB no matter what Defense, O Line or whatever, this team isn't going anywhere.

 

You mean like the jets?

[JohnC]

You and I are sitting in the same weathered bleachers that Ralph put out for us lamenting about the numerous "if only this" and "only that." Sometimes there is more than one way to arrive at the same destination. Wanting a particular stud is not necessarily the same as being in position to get that particular stud.

[buffaloaggie]

LOL yeah only if we want to be winners. But Fans like you have become so used to sucking for so long I think you like it. Without a stud QB no matter what Defense, O Line or whatever, this team isn't going anywhere.

If we address the OL in Free Agency, we can draft the franchise QB. Just don't know how busy the Bills will be in an uncapped season coming up. No QB that might be made available by another team or through FA is going to be the franchise guy.

[DanInUticaTampa]

I could live with Okung easily. It is some of the other OTs that seem like a big reach that we might end up with.

[bananathumb]

Does anyone who actually knows anything about O-line talent know the difference in skills between Okung and Davis?

Right now, they seem to be the best two and hopefully one will be there at 9. If not, Bulaga.

[PDaDdy]

Thanks for the posting. DarthIce is going to be very disappointed by the early qb projections. He'll probably start a new thread about moving up in the draft to get one of his dream qbs.

 

 

ROFLOL! DUDE he has serious man love for a QB. We need one but we need to get a "competent" o-line first. If our line was at least competent I would probably agree with him that QB was our top priority in the draft.

[BuffaloBaumer]

I still get mad EVERY time I see that Orakpo thing. How could this organization be SO stupid when any idiot sitting on the couch could have called it.....I mean seriously, it boggles my mind.

[reddogblitz]

As long as he can "step in right away and help a weak offensive line" I'm all for it. If he's Mike Williams II I'm not!

[PDaDdy]

I still get mad EVERY time I see that Orakpo thing. How could this organization be SO stupid when any idiot sitting on the couch could have called it.....I mean seriously, it boggles my mind.

 

 

From where we were and what we needed it was one of the worst picks I have ever seen!!!!! I almost broke a TV that day and as is usually the case after our first round pick I threatened to stop being a Bills fan. The only pick worse was probably Whitner over Ngata....OUCH ...sorry to bring that up again.
