In my seemingly never ending quest to achieve new levels of laziness, I'm going to try outsourcing some projects to other writers. And I use that term in its loosest sense. Haha, just kidding, you guys keep writing for free. First up is MTD's NFL Mock Draft Series. I'll have a few different writers submitting mock ups as we approach the NFL Draft.Today, Jason takes his first crack at the first round. I watched him do some fairly intense research while drinking half a bottle of Crown Royal.
1. St. Louis - Sam Bradford, QB, Oklahoma
The Rams need a franchise quarterback and can't afford to pass on another one. Personally I have doubts about Bradford.
2. Detroit - Ndamukong Suh, DT, Nebraska
Schwartz starts improving the defense with a motivated-Haynesworth clone.
3. Tampa Bay - Gerald McCoy, DT, Oklahoma
They need everything but a quarterback. Period. BPA. BPA.
4. Washington - Russell Okung, OT, Oklahoma State
Hey, rebuild the line before you get any potential franchise QB killed, Snyder.
5. Kansas City - Anthony Davis, OT, Rutgers
Moving B. Albert inside and adding Davis will help the $64 million mistake (AKA Matt Cassel). [Ed. And my little buddy Jamaal Charles, thanks again for getting me into the fantasy playoffs]
6. Seattle - Eric Berry, S, Tennessee
Great value pick with Berry slipping this far.
7. Cleveland - Rolando McClain, ILB, Alabama
After just missing on Berry, this is the safest pick for a struggling defense.
8. Oakland - Bruce Campbell, OT, Maryland
Geritol Al Davis [Ed. Or GeritAl Davis if you prefer] strikes again with the workout wonder, at least it's a position of need.
9. Buffalo - Bryan Bulaga, OT, Iowa
They also need to start shoring up the line before looking for a quarterback.
10. Jacksonville - Jason Pierce-Paul, DE, South Florida
Signing Kampman can't solve both of their defensive end positions.
11. Denver (Chi) - Dan Williams, NT, Tennessee
The best nose tackle in the draft should help Dumervil and company get even more pressure.
12. Miami - Derrick Morgan, DE, Georgia Tech
Perhaps a 3-4 OLB project, but a good prospect for Parcells.
13. San Francisco - Earl Thomas, S, Texas
They badly need safety help. Or secondary help in general.
14. Seattle (Den) - Jimmy Clausen, QB, Notre Dame
Hasselbeck is good for one more year, at least. [Ed. Or, uh, one more year at best. He's spent more time on his back in the grass than your sister. And she loves the great outdoors.]
15. New York Giants - Brian Price, DT, UCLA
They could use more depth on the line which is a surprise considering 2007. [Ed. Also surprising, Michael Strahan's sitcom lasted 13 episodes. Proving, yet again, Fox will put anything on television.]
16. Tennessee - Joe Haden, CB, Florida
Titans desperately need someone to compliment Cortland Finnegan.
17. San Francisco (Car) - Trent Williams, OT, Oklahoma
They need a masher on the right side to help out Gore.
18. Pittsburgh - Mike Iupati, OG, Idaho
Rebuilding the offensive line would help the Steelers redefine their running game.
19. Atlanta - Carlos Dunlap, DE, Florida
The Jamaal Anderson mistake needs to be corrected. [Ed. I'm pretty sure the only way that mistake is getting corrected is with a Hot Tub Time Machine, coming to a theater near you on March 26. John Cusack owes me $5 for that plug.]
20. Houston - Kyle Wilson, CB, Boise State
They will obviously need a replacement for Daunta Robinson now.
21. Cincinnati - Taylor Mays, S, USC
Roy Williams is not going to cut it as a backend to their defense.
22. New England - Sergio Kendle, DE/OLB, Texas
Great fit for Belichick's defense. [Ed. This is where I believe the Crown Royal started driving. Not only does the analysis get shorter but the spelling goes to shit. I really run a tight ship around here.]
23. Green Bay - Everson Griffen, DE/OLB, USC
Transfer to GB could be seemless and bookend for Clay Matthews. [Ed. Your guess is as good as mine.]
24. Philadelphia - Maurice Pouncey, C, Florida
Andy Reid always builds from the lines.
25. Baltimore - Dez Bryant, WR, Oklahoma State
Great value pick, questionable character issues. [Ed. Hey, that's the hard hitting analysis I usually use around here.]
26. Arizona - Jermaine Gresham, TE, Oklahoma
Great safety blanket for Leinart.
27. Dallas - Arrelious Benn, WR, Illinois
Roy Williams, the WR, is not a number one receiver.
28. San Diego - CJ Spiller, RB, Clemson
Great value and great replacement for LT.
29. New York Jets - Brandon Graham, DE/OLB, Michigan
Great edge rusher for Rex Ryan.
30. Minnesota - Devin McCourtry, CB, Rutgers
They need insurance for Griffin and Winfield is getting old.
31. Indianapolis - Jared Odrick, DT, Penn State
A quick DT for a smaller, faster defensive line.
32. New Orleans - Sean Weatherspoon, LB, Missouri
An aggressive linebacker to help with the loss of Fujita.
