This is the Greg Cox's FINAL mock draft of round 1. To read Greg
Cox's 7 round mock draft from 4/24/09 click HERE
With the
late breaking news this is my final stab at the first round.
1. Detroit Lions –
Matthew
Stafford, QB, Georgia
Detroit
Lions' Draft
Needs
Let the
second guessing begin.
2. St. Louis Rams –
Jason Smith,
OT, Baylor
St. Louis
Rams' Draft
Needs
Even
with
the late posturing and airline ticket rumors I believe the line is
still where
this one goes.
3. Kansas City Chiefs – Tyson
Jackson, DE, LSU
Kansas City Chiefs' Draft Needs
We’ll see
if they move his old teammate Dorsey on draft day as I’ve been
suggesting for
weeks.
4. Seattle Seahawks
– Eugene
Monroe, OT, Virginia
Seattle
Seahawks'
Draft Needs
They
say
they will not take a quarterback. I do not believe them, but if they
are
telling the truth this looks good.
5. Cleveland Browns –
B.J. Raji, DT, Boston College
Cleveland Browns' Draft Needs
Shouldn’t
he be suing SI? Filling spots on the defensive line is imperative. They
can
dangle Shaun Rogers as trade bait or convince him to shift to end.
6. Cincinnati Bengals –
Aaron
Curry, LB, Wake Forest
Cincinnati Bengals'
Draft Needs
This would
make Abromowitz a happy fan.
7. Oakland Raiders –
Andre Smith,
OT, Alabama
Oakland
Raiders'
Draft Needs
It might be
between him and DHB. This is more logical. By a mile.
TRADE 8. Denver Broncos –
Mark Sanchez, QB, USC
Denver Broncos' Draft Needs
Someone
is
trading up for him and the Broncos had better get in the mix if they
want to
compete in the AFC West.
9. Green Bay Packers –
Brian
Orakpo, DE/LB, Texas
Green Bay Packers' Draft Needs
I
could
throw darts at this point trying to figure them out. This is a terrible
board
for them and I’m not sold on Orakpo.
10. San
Francisco 49ers – Michael
Crabtree, WR, Texas Tech
San Francisco 49ers' Draft Needs
They were
waiting with baited breath for Isaac Bruce to tell them if he was back
for his
34th season. Does that tell you where they are at receiver?
11. Buffalo Bills –
Michael Oher,
OT, Mississippi
Buffalo
Bills' Draft Needs
It’s a
stroke of luck for them to trade Peters and still get a left tackle
prospect.
TRADE 12. Jacksonville Jaguars –
Jeremy Maclin, WR, Missouri
Jacksonville Jaguars' Draft Needs
Some might
see this as “losing out” on Crabtree, but given their run of bad luck
at
receiver do they really want to worry about his injury all summer?
13. Washington Redskins
– Robert
Ayers, DE, Tennessee
Washington
Redskins' Draft
Needs
I was on
Ayers in the top half of the first round early and I have stuck by it.
They
need someone to make an impact on their defensive line.
14. New Orleans Saints –
Malcolm
Jenkins, CB, Ohio State
Washington
Redskins' Draft
Needs
Everyone
has had them locked in on him, which means they probably draft Wells.
15. Houston Texans –
Clay
Matthews, LB, USC
New Orleans
Saints' Draft
Needs
Line
him up
with Ryans and the defense is immediately better.
16. San Diego Chargers
– Rey
Maualuga, LB, USC
San Diego
Chargers'
Draft Needs
Match
made
in heaven.
17. New York Jets –
Chris Wells, RB, Ohio State
New York
Jets' Draft Needs
In the
right situation he will rush 300+ times and carry an offense on his
back. There
were durability issues with Adrian Peterson in college too.
18. Denver Broncos
(via CHI) – Brian
Cushing, LB, USC
Denver Broncos' Draft Needs
Quick,
there’s a run on Trojan linebackers! Stay by the phone Kaluka!
19. Tampa Bay
Buccaneers – Josh
Freeman, QB, Kansas State
Tampa Bay
Buccaneers'
Draft Needs
His name is
still attached to them, and I don’t see another team in the teens
interested
enough.
20. Detroit Lions
(via DAL) – Peria
Jerry, DT, Mississippi
Detroit
Lions' Draft
Needs
Now that
the quarterback is in place, it is time to build up both lines.
21. Philadelphia Eagles –
Knowshon
Moreno, RB, Georgia
Philadelphia
Eagles' Draft
Needs
He’s too
perfect for them. They can’t pass.
22. Minnesota Vikings –
Eben
Britton, OT, Arizona
Minnesota Vikings' Draft Needs
He could
step in at right tackle and help them right away.
23. New England Patriots
– Darius Butler, CB, Connecticut
New England
Patriots'
Draft Needs
This is
another one where the team seems tied to a certain player so much is
has to be
untrue, um, true. Unless they trade up to #10 of course.
24.
Atlanta Falcons
– Alex Mack, C, California
Atlanta
Falcons'
Draft Needs
Recent developments about McClure’s
contract put this pick on my radar.
He can take a long walk on a short pier as soon as they draft Mack who
is the best center prospect in a long, long time. How many guys do you
know who could lose three contributing players around him including
left tackle (Tepper) yet still hold an offensive line together enough
to help Jahvid Best lead the Pac-10 in rushing? He did this without any
help from the passing game.
25. Miami Dolphins
– Vontae
Davis, CB, Illinois
Miami Dolphins' Draft Needs
I
would
love to see him at the facility with Bill Parcells. He has to improve
his
attitude and it might push him out of the first round.
26. Baltimore Ravens –
Brandon
Pettigrew, TE, Oklahoma State
Baltimore
Ravens' Draft
Needs
It’s possible
they trade Heap to the Cardinals for Boldin along with other
considerations,
but if not Pettigrew would be hard to pass up.
27. Indianapolis Colts –
Donald Brown,
RB, Connecticut
Indianapolis Colts' Draft Needs
The Colts
always do something surprising. Addai’s production looks like a bad
stock
28. Buffalo Bills
(via CAR/PHI) – Michael Johnson, DE, Georgia Tech
Buffalo Bills' Draft
Needs
I did a mock draft way back in August
and put him #3. Then his senior
season was underwhelming. Then he looked great in shorts at the
combine. He is a polarizing prospect to say the least and could go
anywhere from the middle first (rumors of Tampa Bay being interested at
#19) to early second. Great potential, size, speed, etc but the game
tape does not add up. They need to rush the passer and he fits the 4-3
at end.
29. New York Giants –
Brian
Robiskie, WR, Ohio State
New York Giants' Draft Needs
You just
can’t get a safer pick at the receiver position and that’s what they
need.
30.
Tennessee Titans
– Evander Hood, DT, Missouri
Tennessee
Titans' Draft
Needs
If need meets value this is not very
difficult to figure out. “Ziggy”
helps them reinforce the interior defensive line after losing
all-everything Albert Haynesworth.
31.
Arizona
Cardinals – Aaron Maybin, DE/LB, Penn State
Arizona
Cardinals'
Draft Needs
As I’ve said I question him jumping
through hoops trying to prove he
can put on weight, keep it on, stay fast at that weight, etc. Someone
is going to take their shot with him in the first round though and I
have to squeeze him in as a value for the Cardinals.
32. Pittsburgh Steelers
– William
Beatty, OT, Connecticut
Pittsburgh
Steelers'
Draft Needs
Sure, after
some posturing the gang’s all back, but that gang almost got Big Ben
sent to
the hospital a few times.
