Blaise Taggart’s 2011 Mock Draft 2.0
1. Carolina Panthers- Marcell Dareus DT/Alabama
-Huge, athletic defensive tackle that dominates the line of scrimmage.
2. Denver Broncos- Nick Fairley DT/Auburn
-Dominant force in the middle will only help the Broncos lack luster defense.
3. Buffalo Bills- Da’Quan Bowers DE/Clemson
-Even with knee injury, too much to pass up. And they weren’t afraid to take McGahee with a knee injury.
4. Cincinnati Bengals- Von Miller OLB/Texas A&M
-The Bengals have little depth at linebacker, and Miller is a good character guy.
5. Arizona Cardinals- Patrick Peterson CB/LSU
-After DRC, the Cardinals don’t have much at the cornerback spot.
6. Cleveland Browns- A.J. Green WR/Georgia
-The Browns need playmakers, and Green fits the description.
7. San Francisco 49ers- Cam Newton QB/Auburn
-Harbaugh said he hasn’t seen a QB with this much potential in 10 years. Enough said.
8. Tennessee Titans- Blaine Gabbert QB/Missouri
-With Young to be gone, they need a franchise QB
9. Dallas Cowboys- Prince Amukamara CB/Nebraska
-Bad defensive backfield play, Amukamara would be a huge upgrade.
10. Washington Redskins- Julio Jones WR/Alabama
-Redskins need playmakers and Jones is a rare athletic specimen.
11. Houston Texans- Jimmy Smith CB/Colorado
-With Dunta Robinson leaving last offseason, Smith teams up with Kareem Jackson for a nice, young tandem.
12. Minnesota Vikings- J.J. Watt DE/Wisconsin
-Freakish athlete that provides nice depth to the pass rushers of the Vikings.
13. Detroit Lions- Robert Quinn DE/North Carolina
-Lions need defensive help. Might take O-Linemen, but might be a reach at 13.
14. St. Louis Rams- Corey Liuget DT/Illinois
-Liuget makes a young and forceful D-Line for the Rams.
15. Miami Dolphins- Mark Ingram RB/Alabama
-Ingram is the next Emmitt Smith? Well I don’t know about that but he sure is good.
16. Jacksonville Jaguars- Cameron Jordan DE/California
-More D-Line help for a rebuilding and young Jaguars team.
17. New England Patriots- Anthony Castonzo OT/Boston College
-One of two picks in the first round for the Pats, Castonzo from down the road at BC.
18. San Diego Chargers- Nate Solder OT/Colorado
-Need to start switching to a younger O-Line, and Solder is a start.
19. New York Giants- Gabe Carimi OT/Wisconsin
-Giants need more youth at the O-Line position.
20. Tampa Bay Buccaneers- Akeem Ayers DE/UCLA
-Ayers it’s the young Bucs mold as a potential dominant pass rusher.
21. Kansas City Chiefs- Ryan Kerrigan DE/Purdue
-Athletic pass rusher with a large frame and high potential.
22. Indianapolis Colts- Tyron Smith OT/USC
-More help to portect the best QB ever, Peyton Manning.
23. Philadelphia Eagles- Mike Pouncey OG/Florida
-Andy Reid loves linemen, and hopefully Mike works out as well as brother Maurkice did.
24. New Orleans Saints- Mikel LeShoure RB/Illinois
-As we could tell last year, the Saints had RB injury problems so taking LeShoure here would be an upgrade for the whole RB group.
25. Seattle Seahawks- Jake Locker QB/Washington
-Take the local QB star, and groom him to become the eventual starter.
26. Baltimore Ravens- Aaron Williams CB/Texas
-Large, athletic CB that the Ravens could definitely use in the defensive backfield.
27. Atlanta Falcons- Rahim Moore S/UCLA
-Falcons are a couple players away from a Super Bowl team, start here with the talented safety, Moore.
28. New England Patriots- Stephen Paea DT/Oregon State
-Very strong, the Belichick would find a place for.
29. Chicago Bears- Muhammed Wilkerson DT/Temple
-Need youth at the DT spot.
30. New York Jets- Kyle Rudolph TE/Notre Dame
-Saw the two TE success in New England, Rudolph would go well with Keller.
31. Pittsburgh Steelers- Danny Watkins OG/Baylor
-Need more O-Line depth and better protection for Big Ben.
32. Green Bay Packers- Aldon Smith OLB/Missouri
-Upgrade the depth and add another playmaker on an already great, young defense.
Note: I will make one more Mock Draft before the NFL Draft on April 28, 2011.
