Blaise Taggart's 2011 NFL Mock Draft 2.0

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.
