My first 1st Round Mock Draft

nickbradley · 2012-03-11T13:44:39-07:00

I have us taking Fleener as best player available at #30. Other notables: - CLE reaches for Tannehill - ARI reaches for Melvin Ingram - CHI gambles on Stephen Hill at #19 I don't know what Cleveland is going to do, and that could end up setting the draft order. Don't be shocked if somebody trades up for Blackmon at #4 1. Indianapolis (2-14) - Andrew Luck, QB, Stanford 2. Washington - from St. Louis (2-14) - Robert Griffin, QB, Baylor 3. Minnesota (3-13) - Matt Kalil, OT, USC 4. Cleveland (4-12) - Ryan Tannehill, QB, Texas A&M 5. Tampa Bay (4-12) - Morris Claiborne, CB, LSU 6. St. Louis - from Washington (5-11) - Justin Blackmon, WR, Oklahoma State 7. Jacksonville (5-11) - Michael Floyd, WR, Notre Dame 8. Miami (6-10) - Riley Reiff, OT, Iowa 9. Carolina (6-10) - Jonathan Martin, OT, Stanford 10. Buffalo (6-10) - Quinton Coples, DE, North Carolina 11. Kansas City (7-9) - Trent Richardson, RB, Alabama 12. Seattle (7-9) - Dontari Poe, DT, Memphis 13. Arizona (8-8) - Melvin Ingram, DE, South Carolina 14. Dallas (8-8) - Dre Kirkpatrick, CB, Alabama 15. Philadelphia (8-8) - Fletcher Cox, DT, Mississippi State 16. New York Jets (8-8) - Courtney Upshaw, DE/OLB, Alabama 17. Cincinnati - from Oakland (8-8) - Janoris Jenkins, CB, North Alabama 18. San Diego (8-8) - David DeCastro, G, Stanford 19. Chicago (8-8) - Stephen Hill, WR, Georgia Tech 20. Tennessee (9-7) - Cordy Glenn, G, Georgia 21. Cincinnati* (9-7) - Mark Barron, SS, Alabama 22. Cleveland - from Atlanta* (10-6) - Whitney Mercilus, DE, Illinois 23. Detroit* (10-6) - David Wilson, RB, Virginia Tech 24. Pittsburgh* (12-4) - Kendall Wright, WR/KR, Baylor 25. Denver* (8-8) - Devon Still, DT, Penn State 26. Houston* (10-6) - Peter Konz, C, Wisconsin 27. New England - from New Orleans* (13-3) - Dont'a Hightower, ILB, Alabama 28. Green Bay* (15-1) - Nick Perry, DE/OLB, USC 29. Baltimore* (12-4) - Stephon Gilmore, CB, South Carolina 30. San Francisco* (13-3) -Coby Fleener, TE, Stanford 31. New England* (13-3) - Michael Brockers, DE/DT, LSU 32. New York Giants* (9-7) - Mohamed Sanu, WR, Rutgers

fyi no way browns take tannehill at 4 when they can get him at 22

no other teams in between will take a qb

like the niners pick given the board

Tannehill won't make it past #8, unless MIA signs Flynn or Manning (I doubt it). SEA and KC would both draft Tannehill.

I will add that most mock drafts had Tannehill going #6 or #8.

tannehill can not start next year he isnt ready

on top of that browns dont have any WRs either

they wont take tannehil as they have no1 to a team will nly take him if they have a qb in place

i ahree they may take him but as of now i just think it would be a dumb move

What is happening that Brockers is falling to the bottom of the 1st round? I thought he was going to go high end 10-20?

That's youth. Their interior DTs need improvement as well.

That would suck, Steelers would have Wallace and Writght as WR's to stretch the field and the Niners would have no WR's to stretch the field. I think Fleener could be the pick, but desperately want a deep threat like Wallace or Kendal Wright.

Cle wont pass on Blackmon, they have nothing..I repeat nothing at WR that looks like a #1 guy.

I had CLE taking Blackmon, but I read that Holmgren doesn't believe in taking WRs at the top of the draft.

Most likely scenario is that Wallace signs with CIN and PIT uses the pick to draft Stephen hill

Holmgren isn't the GM, and they need serious help at WR.

Heckert drafted 2 WR's in the first during his tenure with Philly.

I would be happy with Fleener. I also see Tannehill to be in the top 10.
