Mock Draft

Since the NFL Draft is coming up in a little over a week, I will post my opinion of how the Mock Draft will go. I am not a reporter or anything and it's just my best guess.
1. Carolina Panthers- Marcell Dareus DE/DT Alabama- one of the premier players ready to play everyday.  Everyone that I've read is selling low on Nick Fairley.  I think the Cam Newton rumor at this pick is a smokescreen at this pick trying to get more picks so to select more players.  If they keep the pick, Dareus is the selection, I think.
2. Denver Broncos- Patrick Peterson CB LSU- the best overall player in the draft, in my opinion.  Broncos need a CB and Peterson is clearly the best.
3. Buffalo Bills- Von Miller OLB Texas A&M- he is one of the best players, probably the second best behind Peterson.  I'm going with a lot of people's opinions that Miller is going to the Bills, here instead of Gabbert.
4. Cincinatti Bengals- Blaine Gabbert QB Missouri- I have Gabbert as the top quarterback in the draft.  The consensus for the most part is that Gabbert is the better quarterback over Newton.  I think the Bengals are cutting loose Carson Palmer ar this point and going ahead with the best QB in the whole draft.
5. Arizona Cardinals- Robert Quinn DE North Carolina- I think Quinn goes here because the Cardinals are looking for some pass-rush and without Miller on the board, I think Quinn is the pick.
6. Cleveland Browns- A.J. Green WR Georgia- Everyone is higher on him than Julio Jones.  I prefer Jones over Green but I'm not a draft evaluator.  Green is a good wide receiver and is a playmaker for Colt McCoy.
7. San Francisco 49ers- Cam Newton QB Auburn- I think Newton is going to be the bust of the draft but I think the Cardinals select him here, anyways, at least how my mock is going.  The 49ers need a QB if they're going to cut ties with Alex Smith.
8. Tennessee Titans- Nick Fairley DT Auburn- Everyone has Fairley going to the Titans at this point. I think Fairley is a great match for the Titans who like to draft defensive line positions in the previous drafts.
9. Dallas Cowboys- Tyron Smith OT USC- I guess the Cowboys need a tackle and Tyron is the best tackle in the draft so that's a perfect match.
10. Washington Redskins- Julio Jones WR Alabama- if he falls here it's the best pick in the draft. I think Jones is the best receiver.  Although, I reallly think Shanahan trades down to later in the first round to draft Mallett who seems like the perfect match for Shanahan.
11. Houston Texans- Prince Amukamara CB Nebraska- KC Joyner at ESPN doesn't think he is that great of a CB and I hear reports of the same thing.  But I think the Texans try to fix their secondary with this pick.
12. Minnesota Vikings- Da'quan Bowers DE Clemson- I think the Vikings try to hit a homerun with this pick.
13. Detroit Lions- Cameron Jordan DE California- He is regarded as one of the better rush end prospects in this draft.  It's likely that they would draft a tackle in the first round to try and protect fragile Stafford.
14. St. Louis Rams- Cory Liuget DT Illinois- With Jones off the board, they look for a D-Line prospect.
15. Miami Dolphins- Mark Ingram RB Alabama- seems like it's a perfect match.
16. Jacksonville Jaguars- Adrian Clayborn DE Iowa- I don't really like Ryan Kerrigan that much and the other ends/LB's seem to fit in the 3-4 instead.
17. New England Patriots- J.J. Watt DE- makes too much sense
18. San Diego Chargers- Muhammed Wilkerson DE/DT Temple
19. New York Giants- Mike Pouncey OL Florida- I've been hearing that he's not as good as his brother and that if his last name was different he would fall.
20. Tampa Bay Bucanneers- Ryan Kerrigan DE Purdue- I think Kerrigan might be a bust but he's going to a team that already had a bust Gaines Adams.
21. Kansas City Chiefs-Anthony Castanzo OT Boston College- he falls in my mock and the Chiefs reap the benefits.
22. Indianapolis Colts- Nate Solder OT Colorado-also slipping but a perfect fit.
23. Philadelphia Eagles- Danny Watkins OL Baylor- fills in the holes for the Eagles.
24. New Orleans Saints- Phil Taylor NT- I think is a good fit or Akeem Ayers from UCLA to go into their 3-4 and rotate into Williams' defensive schemes.
25. Seattle Seahawks- Andy Dalton QB TCU- I don't really believe the Seahawks are going after a QB after the Whitehurst situation but I have seen enough NFL expert say that Dalton is the man so I'll agree.
26. Baltimore Ravens- Jimmy Smith CB Colorado-The Ravens always seem to have a player drop to them perfectly.
27. Atlanta Falcons-Cameron Heyward DE-they need a pass rusher and he's the best d-line prospect left, in my opinion.
28. New England Patriots-I'd say they're going to trade but if they keep the pick I have them selecting Gabe Carimi OT Wisconsin
29. Chicago Bears- Derek Sherrod OT Mississippi St- they need an O-Linemen and I think they take him here after nobody else is really left
30. New York Jets- Marvin Austin DL North Carolina- character problems? check. Boom or bust? check. Sounds like a Jets pick.
31. Pittsburgh Steelers- have them trading their pick to the Vikings. The Vikings select Jake Locker.
32. Green Bay Packers- I have them selecting Ayers if he's there. Otherwise, it's another trade.  The Miami Dolphins select Ryan Mallet.
