2011 NFL Mock Draft: Round Five

Last update: Thursday, April 28, 2011, 3:30 PM. Final update.
Next update: Thurs evening. Follow me @walterfootball for updates.

This 2011 NFL Mock Draft order is based on the official 2011 NFL Draft Order.

Carolina Panthers: Julius Thomas, TE, Portland State

The Panthers just signed Jeremy Shockey, but they need a long-term answer at the position. The Saints drafted a basketball player to groom behind Shockey, and I'd say that worked out pretty well.

Buffalo Bills: D.J. Williams, TE, Arkansas

Shawn Nelson has been a big disappointment at tight end. Buffalo needs to give Andy Dalton an intermediate weapon to work with.

Cincinnati Bengals: Robert Sands, S, West Virginia

The Bengals could stand to upgrade the safety position. Robert Sands is a great fit for Mike Zimmer's scheme.

Kansas City Chiefs: Delone Carter, RB, Syracuse

Kansas City acquired this selection from Tampa Bay for Alex Magee.

Thomas Jones, 33 in August, is owed $3 million in 2011. He wasn't very effective this past season, so even though the Chiefs said they plan on bringing him back, that could be a smokescreen of some sort. If so, Delone Carter would be a very cheap alternative. Carter has drawn some comparisons to Maurice Jones-Drew.

Arizona Cardinals: Mario Harvey, ILB, Marshall

The Cardinals can use an upgrade at the inside linebacker position. Daryl Washington just had a great year, but all Arizona has next to him is a soon-to-be 34-year-old Paris Lenon.

Cleveland Browns: Pernell McPhee, DE, Mississippi State

If the Browns pass on Robert Quinn at No. 6, they'll be looking for help at defensive end. They really need 4-3 personnel; their top end option is Matt Roth. That's not good news because he's only started nine games in a 4-3 as a pro.

Houston Texans: Chris Conte, S, California

The Texans will be moving Glover Quin to free safety. They'll need an alternative option just in case that doesn't pan out.

Minnesota Vikings: Niles Paul, WR, Nebraska

If Sidney Rice leaves Minnesota via free agency, the team will obviously need to find a new starter across from Percy Harvin.

Kansas City Chiefs: Ian Williams, NT, Notre Dame

Scott Pioli needs his Vince Wilfork. If he doesn't take Phil Taylor at No. 21, he'll have to somehow secure a nose tackle in Rounds 2-5.

San Francisco 49ers: Owen Marecic, FB, Stanford

The 49ers are definitely looking for help at the fullback position this offseason. Jim Harbaugh brings over his guy from Stanford.

Tennessee Titans: Kris O'Dowd, C, USC

The Titans need to upgrade left guard and center. Unfortunately, the center class is very thin this year.

Dallas Cowboys: Marcus Cannon, G, TCU

The Cowboys reportedly like Marcus Cannon. Or at least they did prior to the unfortunate biopsy. Cannon is now a late-round prospect who will have to sit out a year. Let's hope he can make a comeback and thrive in 2012.

Washington Redskins: Cecil Shorts, WR, Mount Union

As noted in the first round, Sanatana Moss is a free agent. Anthony Armstrong cannot be the No. 1 receiver next year.

St. Louis Rams: Ugo Chinasa, DE, Oklahoma State

Chris Long had an incredible season, but the Rams need a pass-rusher on the other side of the line of scrimmage. James Hall is also coming off a great year, but he just turned 34. St. Louis will need to find a long-term successor soon.

Miami Dolphins: Bilal Powell, RB, Louisville

It sounds as if the Dolphins will be going after DeAngelo Williams in free agency. If that's the case, they'll still look for a running back late in the 2011 NFL Draft.

Jacksonville Jaguars: Tyrod Taylor, QB, Virginia Tech

The Jaguars are expected to select a quarterback relatively early in the 2011 NFL Draft; they need a long-term solution at the position because David Garrard is too inconsistent.

Tyrod Taylor is the type of high-character, blue-collar, multi-year starter that Gene Smith covets.

Oakland Raiders: Derek Newton, OT, Arkansas State

Langston Walker will be a free agent this offseason. The Raiders need to upgrade an offensive line that surrendered six sacks to the Steelers.

Philadelphia Eagles: Alex Green, RB, Hawaii

The Eagles acquired this selection from the Chargers for the Cam Thomas pick.

Jerome Harrison is a free agent, so the Eagles could be in the market for a replacement. Philadelphia has shown interest in Alex Green.

Minnesota Vikings: DeAndre McDaniel, S, Clemson

The Vikings need to upgrade both safety positions this offseason. DeAndre McDaniel is one of the top talents available.

Tampa Bay Buccaneers: Dion Lewis, RB, Pittsburgh

If the Buccaneers don't retain Cadillac Williams, they'll need a new third-down, change-of-pace back behind LeGarrette Blount. Tampa likes Dion Lewis.

Indianapolis Colts: Kendric Burney, CB, North Carolina

When you're battling the Patriots, Chargers and Steelers every year, you can always use as many talented corners as possible.

Philadelphia Eagles: Henry Hynoski, FB, Pittsburgh

It's really a shame that Leonard Weaver tore his ACL and PCL, and suffered nerve damage in his knee. If the Eagles don't think Owen Schmitt can replace him, they may look for a fullback in the middle rounds this April.

Detroit Lions: Jake Kirkpatrick, C, TCU

Detroit desperately needs to upgrade its offensive line this offseason to keep Matthew Stafford healthy. Jake Kirkpatrick would fill a huge void at the center position.

Washington Redskins: Rashad Carmichael, CB, Virginia Tech

Washington acquired this pick from the Saints in the Jammal Brown trade.

Carlos Rogers and Phillip Buchanon are both free agents. Replacements are needed here if either one walks.

Seattle Seahawks: Da'Norris Searcy, S, North Carolina

Pete Carroll watched Greg Olsen torch Lawyer Milloy in the playoffs, so I'm sure he'll want better safety play in 2011.

Seattle Seahawks: Stephen Burton, WR, West Texas A&M

The Seahawks acquired this selection from the Ravens for Josh Wilson.

Mike Williams, Golden Tate and Deon Butler are nice targets, but none of them are No. 1 receivers. The Seahawks need to find a reliable top option. Stephen Burton has immense upside, so maybe be could evolve into Seattle's No. 1 wideout.

Atlanta Falcons: Dwayne Harris, WR/KR, East Carolina

The Falcons might double dip at receiver. They need to find as many weapons as possible for Matt Ryan.

New England Patriots: Buster Skrine, CB, UT-Chattanooga

The Patriots can't have guys like Kyle Arrington and the disappointing Darius Butler seeing a ton of action at corner. I know Leigh Bodden is due back next year, but he's a 30-year-old injury-prone player.

New England has shown interest in Buster Skrine.

Chicago Bears: DeMarcus Love, OT/G, Arkansas

The Bears need as many upgrades on the offensive line as possible. If they lead the NFL in sacks allowed again, Jay Cutler probably won't make it through another season.

New York Jets: Joseph Barksdale, OT, LSU

Vladimir Ducasse will be moving over to right tackle. There's no guarantee that'll pan out, so here's some competition for him.

Pick change; previously Lawrence Guy, DE/DT

Pittsburgh Steelers: Zach Hurd, G, Connecticut

Another offensive line upgrade for the Steelers. They can't afford to have Ben Roethlisberger knocked around on every play once again.

Green Bay Packers: Stephen Schilling, G, Michigan

Daryn Colledge is a free agent, but needs to be upgraded anyway. Stephen Schilling fits the scheme and appearance the Packers like from their offensive linemen.

Baltimore Ravens: Chris Hairston, OT, Clemson

Jared Gaither missed the 2010 season with back injuries. Depending on what happens with the CBA, Gaither will probably be a free agent. If the Ravens don't retain him, they'll need a replacement.

Baltimore Ravens: Rick Elmore, DE/OLB, Arizona

The Ravens have met with a bunch of rush linebacker prospects this offseason, including Rick Elmore, which might indicate that they're not happy with their depth behind Terrell Suggs and Jarret Johnson.

Raider fan here. I think Nate Solder would be a pretty solid pickup at 48.

He has the size and athleticism that Al covets, good intelligence/character and has plenty of potential. At worst, he'd beef up a bit and play at RT. I'm happy with that mock.

Kris 12-30-2010 05:42 am xxx.xxx.xxx32.4 (total posts: 1)

Show some respect on Auburn's solid linemens like Lee Ziemba, Mike Berry and Ryan Pugh. They should be 3-4 rounder.

Ian 12-30-2010 05:25 am xxx.xxx.xxx1.76 (total posts: 18)

I'd bank on a Champ Bailey to Dallas signing, so I don't think they'll need to pick a safety.

Also, I really doubt the Lions will pick a Defensive End. With Lawrence Jackson, Cliff Avril, and Kyle Vanden Bosch under contract, it's not a need. Mayhew has been drafting much better.

Chiefs fan here! I agree with the needs coming into the draft. One question for you. Brodie Croyle has shown that he is not going to fit the bill for what we are looking for in a backup QB, and while I could see Pioli pick up a vet in FA, who do you think the Chiefs could pick up in the later rounds to be Cassel's long term backup?

Thanks

Leigh 12-30-2010 04:42 am xxx.xxx.xxx1.76 (total posts: 1)

I like the Browns taking Jones in the first I think he would be the perfect fit for McCoy and our offence with his YAC. I think ten is a suitable spot for him to go.

Brandon 12-30-2010 04:42 am xxx.xxx.xxx.235 (total posts: 1)

Has Christian Ponder's stock fallen so much that he's not even projected in the first three rounds anymore?

Walter 12-30-2010 04:35 am xxx.xxx.xxx9.63 (total posts: 25)

Thanks, Carl. Glad you liked that mock for the Hawks.

Walter 12-30-2010 04:34 am xxx.xxx.xxx9.63 (total posts: 25)

@Richard - Three CBs went in the Top 10 in 2005. Two CBs went in the Top 10 in 2004.

@Daryn - I think it's way too soon to classify Alexander as a No. 1, and there's no telling how effective Avery will be. Plus, Blackmon is the BPA there.

Carl 12-30-2010 04:31 am xxx.xxx.xxx3.17 (total posts: 2)

Seahawks fan here, just wanted to say I love our 1st and 2nd round projections.

I'm not a Locker homer. I know he hasn't had the kind of season everyone expected him to, but I still think that out of all the QBs in this draft, he's still the best fit for our offense.

After QB, I'd say CB is our biggest need, but with Jimmy Smith and Ras-I Dowling both gone as second round options, getting the best ZBS OG in the draft is a great way to go. Along with Okung, that would be a very talented left side.

A+

Daryn 12-30-2010 04:19 am xxx.xxx.xxx7.42 (total posts: 4)

I would love the Rams to get Blackmon but with it looking like Alexander is going to finish the season strong and with Avery coming back next year along with Amendola, Gibson and possibly Gilyard do you think they could start out drafting a more important area like outside linebacker which is major need or a defensive end to replace Hall who is getting older. Thanks

A lions fan here i dont think 2 cb will go in the top 10 it never happens especially in this mock dallas doesnt draft like that they want a potential money maker not a cb

Posey error fixed. Thanks, Bob.

Thers No way the cowboys would draft a qb in the first round maybe if they get lucky and someone falls to them in the second round
