Jeff's Mock 1st RoundUpdated 04/15/2011 |
| No. | Team | Name | Position | College |
| 1 |  |
Cam Newton | QB | Auburn |
| The Panthers were dead last in the NFL in both total offense and scoring offense. | ||||
| 2 |  |
Marcel Dareus | DT | Alabama |
| New Coach John Fox needs defensive help in the worst way. | ||||
| 3 |  |
Von Miller | LB | Texas A&M |
| Coach Chan Gailey also needs defensive help in the worst way. | ||||
| 4 |  |
AJ Green | WR | Georgia |
| They won't re-sign TO so the Bungles need another WR. | ||||
| 5 |  |
Blaine Gabbert | QB | Missouri |
| "Fitz" gets a QB to throw the ball. | ||||
| 6 |  |
Robert Quinn | DE | ex-North Carolina |
| Browns are switching back to a 4-3 defense. | ||||
| 7 |  |
Patrick Peterson | DB | LSU |
| San Francisco gets the best possible replacement for aging cornerback Nate Clements. | ||||
| 8 |  |
Nick Fairley | DT | Auburn |
| At one time Fairley was thought of as the best defensive lineman in the draft. Now there are questions - Classic boom or bust pick. | ||||
| 9 |  |
Tyron Smith | OT | USC |
| Cowboy's Offensive Line was sieve 2010. | ||||
| 10 |  |
Julio Jones | WR | Alabama |
| Jones was dazzling at the Combine & Skins need a WR. | ||||
| 11 |  |
Prince Amukamara | CB | Nebraska |
| Texans gave up 427 point in 2010. | ||||
| 12 | 
| Aldon Smith | DE | Missouri |
| Ray Edwards is a free agent & Jared Allen had a down year. | ||||
| 13 |  |
Anthony Castonzo | OT | Boston College |
| Stafford's own team-mate called him a "China Doll". So the China Doll gets another protector | ||||
| 14 |  |
Cameron Jordan | DE | Cal |
| Nice big DE to bookend with Howie Long's son. | ||||
| 15 |  |
Mark Ingram | RB | Alabama |
| Both Ronnie Brown & Ricky Williams are free agents. | ||||
| 16 |  |
Ryan Kerrigan | DE | Purdue |
| Aaron Kampman's clone gets to understudy with the original. | ||||
| 17 |  from Oakland |
JJ Watt | DE | Wisconsin |
| Perfect pick for their 3-4 defense. | ||||
| 18 |  |
Corey Liuget | DT | Illinois |
| Bolts need a presence up the middle. | ||||
| 19 |  |
Muhammad Wilkerson | DE | Temple |
| Stopping the run was an issue. | ||||
| 20 |  |
Adrian Clayborn | DE | Iowa |
| More pass rush & stout against the run all in one player. | ||||
| 21 |  |
Phil Taylor | DT | Baylor |
| Need a big plug right up the middle. | ||||
| 22 |  |
Mike Pouncey | C/G | Florida |
| Saturday's gettin old. | ||||
| 23 |  |
Gabe Carimi | OT | Wisconsin |
| Will be able to step in at RT right away. | ||||
| 24 |  |
Marvin Austin | DT | North Carolina |
| Another possibility is Ironhead's boy Cameron. | ||||
| 25 |  |
Nate Solder | OT | Colorado |
| Solder is a better pass blocker than run blocker at this point, but that fits pretty well with where the emphasis lies in Seattle. | ||||
| 26 |  |
Torrey Smith | WR | Maryland |
| Smith's claim to fame is his speed. Something Baltimore doesn't have right now. | ||||
| 27 |  |
Jon Baldwin | WR | Pitt |
| Baldwin is a big receiver at 6-4 228, he's a perfect compliment to smurf-sized Roddy White. | ||||
| 28 | |
Danny Watkins | G | Baylor |
| A bit older than typical rookies, Watkins displays maturity the Bellichick loves. | ||||
| 29 |  |
Derrick Sherrod | OT | Mississippi State |
| The Bears offensive line needs attention and Sherrod is the highest-rated remaining tackle available. | ||||
| 30 |  |
Jimmy Smith | CB | Colorado |
| Cromartie is a free agent & King Rex will deal with Smith's immaturity. | ||||
| 31 |  |
Aaron Williams | CB | Texas |
| Pitt didn't have an answer for GB's 3rd & 4th WR in SB XLV. | ||||
| 32 |  |
Cameron Heyward | DE | Ohio State |
| Jolly's 2nd arrest & Jenkin's free agency make this a need position in GB. But I wouldn't be shocked if Ted trades out of this pick with a QB needy team. | ||||
| Pre-Draft Trades
Oakland's #1 (17) was traded to New England for DL Richard Seymour. |
