2011 NFL Mock Draft No Luck

2011 NFL Mock Draft

1. Carolina Panthers - AJ Green, WR, Georgia
Well the Panthers will have to rely on Jimmy Clausen so they might as well get someone for him to throw to. Green is the pick.

2. Denver - Patrick Peterson, CB, LSU
The worst D in the league won't be able to pass on an elite cornerback. Could see Bowers going here, but Peterson is too valuable.


3. Buffalo - Nick Fairley, DT, Auburn
Buffalo needs to rebuild their entire defense, and where better to start than from the D-line. Fairley is a beast.


4. Cincinnati - Da'Quan Bowers, DE, Clemson
Fairley and Bowers are 1 and 1A on the defensive front. Cincy wanted Green, but they'll have to settle for the best endin the draft.

5. Arizona - Ryan Mallett - QB Arkansas
Mallett becomes the best QB prospect in the draft with Luck not coming out. Way too high for him but Arizona is desperate.

6. Cleveland - Prince Amukamura, CB, Nebraska
Probably a higher selection than his talent, but to put him opposite Joe Haden makes too much sense.

7. San Francisco - Julio Jones, WR, Alabama
The Niners are desperate for a playmaker opposite Crabtree and Jones could be that guy.

8. Tennessee - Cam Newton, QB, Auburn
Cam is a lot like Vince Young was supposed to be. Kerry Collins is ancient. Time for some new blood.

9. Dallas - Robert Quinn, DE, North Carolina
Dallas needs desperate help at end. Quinn is an elite talent and should be able to contribute quickly.

10. Washington - Ryan Kerrigan, DE, Purdue
The Skins need another playmaker other than Orakpo. Kerrigan has a motor like Clay Matthews and I think he's worked out okay for Green Bay.

11. Houston - Marcell Dareus, DT, Alabama
The Texans would be thrilled if Dareus fell to them at eleven.

12. Minnesota - Blaine Gabbert, QB, Missouri
Some say he's the top QB prospect, I'm not 100% sold, but not a bad pick.

13. Detroit - Adrian Clayborn, DE, Iowa
Clayborn didn't have a great year, but the guy is a freak athlete. And the Lions need to load up on defense.

14. St. Louis - Gabe Carimi, OT, Wisconsin
The Outland Trophy winner should be the best O-lineman in St. Louis once he steps on the field.

15. Miami - Jake Locker, QB, Washington
The Henne experiment is over. Locker brings a big arm and some athleticism to the QB position

16. Jacksonville - Jonathan Baldwin, WR, Pitt
Mike Sims-Walker and Mike Thomas are serviceable, but the Jags need a big time threat at receiver.

17. New England (from Oakland) - Mark Ingram, RB, Alabama
The Law Firm has done an admirable job in New England, but Ingram is a pure talent and will be a nice addition to the Patriots

18. San Diego - Stephen Paea, DT, Oregon State
The Chargers go with the best player available, and that player is Paea.

19. NY Giants - Von Miller, LB, Texas A&M
Miller is what I call a football player. Ridiculous instincts and has a nose for the ball.

20. Tampa Bay - Nate Solder, OT, Colorado
Solder is a big, big man.

21. Seattle - Aaron Williams, CB, Texas
With all of the top QB's gone, they tinker with the defense a bit.

22. Kansas City - Akeem Ayers, LB, UCLA
Derrick Johnson needs help and Ayers can be the that guy.

23. Green Bay - Cameron Jordan, DE, Cal
The Packers strengthen their already ridiculous defense with Jordan.

24. Philadelphia - Mike Pouncey, C, Florida
O line was a weak spot for Philly. Look for them to beef it up a bit with the addition of Pouncey.

25. Indianapolis - Drake Nevis, DT, LSU
Indy takes the best DT on the board with Nevis. A true run stopper that will allow Mathis and Freeney to do their thing.

26. NY Jets - Allen Bailey, DE, Miami
The Jets will more than likely go D-line and it's a toss up, but I'll say it'll be Bailey

27. Chicago Bears - Anthony Costanzo, OT, Boston College
Seriously, is there any doubt where the Bears will spend most of their draft picks?

28. New Orleans - Justin Houston, LB, Georgia
Houston is a versatile guy that can help right way. The Saints are very mediocre at LB outside of Vilma.

29. Baltimore - Brandon Harris, CB, Miami
How old IS Ed Reed? Harris is a raw guy but has some good skills

30. Pittsburgh - JJ Watt, DE, Wisconsin
He's a Steeler kind of player. High motor and good tackler.

31. Atlanta - Kyle Rudolph, TE, Notre Dame
Gonzo should be almost done. In steps Rudolph.

32. New England - Cameron Heyward, DE, Ohio St
As if New England needs two first rounders, they pick up a fine DE in Heyward with the last pick in the round.
