2011 NFL MOCK DRAFT - WALT'S | GREG'S ROUND 1 | GREG'S ROUND: 2 | 3 | 4 | 5 | 6 | 7
Greg Cox was a senior writer at TheFootballExpert.com and appeared as a guest on the NFL Network's Path to the Draft. Send Greg an e-mail here: greg@thefootballexpert.com

  1. New England Patriots: Derek Sherrod, OT, Mississippi State
    This pick is going to be up for sale to the highest bidder as teams shuffle their draft boards overnight. They would have to consider staying put and taking Derek Sherrod should he fall out of the first round though. This is not a pick I love, but I have to hustle to finish this final update.


  2. Green Bay Packers: Brooks Reed, DE/OLB, Arizona
    PROJECTED TRADE: Trading out of the first round pays off for the Packers who get pick No. 133 from the Bills and still get a bookend pass rusher for Clay Matthews. This is a dream scenario for ESPN. I can envision a two-hour special featuring just the hair of Matthews and Brooks Reed. Cousin It is definitely jealous.

  3. New England Patriots: Danny Watkins, G, Baylor
    PROJECTED TRADE: They get pick No. 101 from the Bengals and use their selection here to grab Logan Mankins 2.0. It is just that simple. I think the Patriots are going to rebuild their lines in this draft. Let's face it they have the picks to take this draft by the, well, you know.

  4. Denver Broncos: Stephen Paea, DT, Oregon State
    The depth on the interior of the defensive line drives their decision to take Von Miller in the first round, and if not for a knee injury suffered at the Senior Bowl I believe Stephen Paea would be buzzed up as an easy first round pick.

  5. Cleveland Browns: Da'Quan Bowers, DE, Clemson
    It is insanity to predict a player once considered an option at No. 1 overall as sliding to the early second round, but medical concerns are tricky. If he starts falling down the board plenty of teams could be interested.



  6. Arizona Cardinals: Martez Wilson, ILB, Illinois
    This is a no-brainer pick as far as I'm concerned and no reason to change it since Martez Wilson is once again on the board. There is a possibility a team looking for a pass-rusher will target him earlier than this believing they can play him outside.

    If not, the Cardinals will not hesitate to pair him up inside with last year's pick Daryl Washington.

  7. Tennessee Titans Ryan Mallett, QB, Arkansas
    Like a lot of teams, quarterback is a high priority for the Titans in the 2011 NFL Draft. Vince Young flaming out has really put them in a tough position. As I am typing this it has been confirmed he is officially, for sure, no doubt about it coming back. In case anyone had any doubts left.

    Kerry Collins is ready for a rocking chair. Before he calls it a career, he would like to throw for 111 yards so he can pass Joe Montana for 10th on the all-time list.

    The Titans are not going to put their fate in the hands of Rusty Smith, and can consider themselves lucky Ryan Mallett is still on the board for them to take.

  8. Dallas Cowboys: Rahim Moore, FS, UCLA
    Nothing to see here if you looked the previous version I am staying with the pick.

    This defense was a major liability in 2010. In more than half of their games they allowed more points than even a top offense could be expected to keep up with. They were 2-9 when surrendering 24-plus points and only 5-5 when scoring 26-plus points. Which side of the ball do you think is the bigger problem?

    It is not like their defense lacks talent. In 2009, they were second in scoring (15.6). Some passion and new blood should provide them a spark.

    Ironically, the 2009 season was pretty good for Rahim Moore as well. He had 10 interceptions before his production dropped off. Maybe he can rebound along with his new Cowboy teammates and return to his thieving ways.

  9. Washington Redskins: Colin Kaepernick, QB, Nevada
    Once again I am thinking in line with Walt. As I chalked Colin Kaepernick in here I noticed he also put in this spot. The Redskins have to get a quarterback and quite frankly this might be their dream scenario because it does not require a reach or trade up.

    If the Bills don't take Kaepernick this is my next best logical fit for him.

  10. Houston Texans: Aaron Williams, CB/S, Texas
    If you don't know the Texans are having major problems all across their secondary you must be living under a rock. This is the best player on the board and he fits a need.

  11. Minnesota Vikings: Justin Houston, DE/OLB, Georgia
    Failing a drug test at the Combine is pretty stupid, but it allows the Vikings to make up for their Jake Locker reach by getting an excellent value to bolster their pass rush by adding Justin Houston.

  12. Detroit Lions: Torrey Smith, WR, Maryland
    Calvin Johnson needs a reliable threat to draw defensive attention away from him. The Lions also need a powerful running back, but that can come later.



  13. San Francisco 49ers: Johnny Patrick, CB, Louisville
    Having secured their quarterback in the first round the 49ers will be able to sleep well on Thursday night and figure out which prospects can help them the most in the secondary. Johnny Patrick is a surprise pick this early, but he has drawn a lot of attention across the league.

  14. Denver Broncos: Benjamin Ijalana, OT/G, Villanova
    The Broncos have more questions than answers at quarterback, but it appears as though they will stand pat with their current depth chart until next year when Stanford's Andrew Luck and USC's Matt Barkley are possible additions. In the meantime they solidify the offensive line.

  15. St. Louis Rams: Mikel Leshoure, RB, Illinois
    There is a lot of buzz about the Rams possibly taking Alabama's Mark Ingram in the first round. The smarter play is to sit back and let Mikel Leshoure fall to them. Not a lot of teams are desperate for running back help. Leshoure can extend Steven Jackson's career and eventually replace him.

  16. Oakland Raiders: Curtis Marsh, CB, Utah State
    What? You didn't think I would throw in a surprise for the Raiders? They want speed and a height out of their cornerbacks. Nnamdi Asomugha is gone and they love to draft cornerbacks early on. Rod Woodson gets a blue chip prospect to work with - or at least a blue chip in their estimation.

  17. Jacksonville Jaguars: Leonard Hankerson, WR, Miami
    There are going to be a few surprise picks in the draft and occasionally I will throw some in my mock drafts. Mike Sims-Walker is gone after scoring seven touchdowns in 2010. The only other wide receiver to score more than two touchdowns was Mike Thomas (4) who is going to need someone to work with.

    Leonard Hankerson has been playing in big games in the state of Florida since high school and I like the idea of him staying in the Sunshine State.

  18. San Diego Chargers: Brandon Harris, CB, Miami
    The Chargers look ahead with this pick trying to find a successor for Quentin Jammer. Brandon Harris gets pushed down in part because of his lack of height, and obviously is not a Jammer clone being several inches shorter but the team has shown interest.

  19. Tampa Bay Buccaneers: Curtis Brown, CB, Texas
    Aqib Talib's audition to be on the reality show Top Shot has created some urgency at the cornerback position. Ronde Barber will probably remain with the organization after this season in some capacity, but I expect this to be his final playing season.

  20. New York Giants: Jonathan Baldwin, WR, Pittsburgh
    This final mock is a bit loose because I am going by instinct quite a bit as I rush through it. I see Jonathan Baldwin as their new Plaxico Burress. They need a big receiver and I don't think Ramses Barden is going to be that guy. It's still possible Buurress takes the Mike Vick path from prison back to the NFL, but this is a surprise pick I would like to see.


  21. Indianapolis Colts: Jerrel Jernigan, WR, Troy
    As much fun as it was to watch Peyton Manning squeeze lemons into lemonade with Dallas Clark and wide receiver Austin Collie (hello Blair White!) injured, when it came time to play for a title in the playoffs, their offense failed to function up to their standards.

    They need another receiver, especially if Collie hangs up his cleats instead of risking permanent brain damage. The latest report is that this might be it for Reggie Wayne in a Colts uniform. Speed is always welcome on this roster and size is not necessarily a requirement.

  22. Philadelphia Eagles: Will Rackley, OT/G, Lehigh
    If the Eagles are in fact enthralled with cornerback Jimmy Smith and take him in the first round, they have to make a strong play here to address the right side of their offensive line. Will Rackley has drawn a ton of attention from teams and it leads me to believe he is going off the board in round 2.

  23. Kansas City Chiefs: Edmond Gates, WR, Abilene Christian
    All the Chiefs fans can settle down. I knew they needed a wide receiver, and here it is. Dwayne Bowe can't be the only threat to catch the football.

  24. New Orleans Saints: Ryan Williams, RB, Virginia Tech
    The Saints are a mess in the backfield. They had to go with Julius Jones with their season on the line. I'm a little concerned about them taking a player with an injury in his rear view mirror when the guy they just signed (Pierre Thomas) is also an injury risk, but the talent is there with Ryan Williams to warrant the risk.

  25. Seattle Seahawks: Rodney Hudson, G/C, Florida State
    This is another rare pick that has not changed because Rodney Hudson is such a good fit for their zone-blocking system.

    The talk of him playing center is a little premature, but he has shown potential there. The Seahawks are considering their options in the middle. They could retain Chris Spencer or shift Max Unger there which is where he belongs. Hudson could back up the center position which makes him even more valuable.

  26. Baltimore Ravens: Jabaal Sheard, DE/OLB, Pittsburgh
    If the Ravens get Gabe Carimi and Jabaal Sheard it would be a very successful start to their draft. Terrell Suggs needs someone to rush the passer on the other side and any red flags Sheard might have are minimized by a strong locker room.

  27. Atlanta Falcons: Allen Bailey, DE/DT, Miami
    Kroy Biermann was one of several defensive ends who arrived "tardy to the party" when it came to reaching the opposing quarterback. The Falcons are going to address this problem early in the 2011 NFL draft. Allen Bailey is one of several possibilities they are looking at. His stock went down after the Senior Bowl, but appears to have gone up since.

  28. New England Patriots: Davon House, CB, New Mexico State
    The Patriots like corners who can press and have a lot of picks to work with. I doubt they stay put in many of them, but Davon House could be their guy if they do.



  29. San Diego Chargers: Quan Sturdivant, ILB, North Carolina
    The Chargers acquired this pick in the Antonio Cromartie trade.

    Too many inside linebackers are free agents for the Chargers not to use an early pick on that problem.

  30. Chicago Bears: James Carpenter, OG/T, Alabama
    If the Bears pass on offensive tackle in the first round they might reach and grab a new recruit for Mike Tice here.

  31. Pittsburgh Steelers: Marcus Gilbert, OT, Florida
    Ben Roethlisberger is a fearless quarterback when it comes to taking hits, but he can't be exposed like he has been the past few seasons. The Steelers need to improve the offensive line.

  32. Green Bay Packers: Ras-I Dowling, CB, Virginia
    Best player available is always on the mind of the Packers, but if it meets with a mild need all the better. Charles Woodson is going to decline in a hurry. That is the way the human body works. Ras-I Dowling has some size and plenty of speed. If he can stay healthy this is a great pick at the end of Round 2.

I'd rather grab any one of the next 5 picks after the Jags' in the second round(except Williams) than Greg Jones. Didn't really like what I saw out of him in the last half of the season and the bowl game.

Excellent mock, seriously, most of the dummys around here don't understand draft strategy or how teams act when it comes to picking players. Most teams, if not all pick players that can be built around and that are relatively safe picks. Usually teams address areas of weakness not positions, like you said with the Rams, most if not all mockers have the Rams drafting a receiver of some sort, but the idea of picking a Guard helps 2 fold. If gives the Rams the edge in the trenches in the running game while also helping in the pass protect game. The Rams would also be getting back all of their injured wide outs so the Pouncey pick is perfect. Especially if you look at what they would then have on the line. Saffold and Smith as your book ends, and Bell and Pouncey as your Guards with Jason Brown as your Center. That could be one of the best young lines in the NFL by far. Which would help in numerous ways.

As for Kerrigan, your right, and I would go a bit further. Kerrigan not only gives them a high energy player, but also a fantastic leader. The Skins have had some of the worst egos on the face of the earth playing D for them. Fat Albert, DeAngelo Hall, Andre Carter, Fred Smoot, etc. and only London Fletcher and Brain Orakpo have been a positive influence in the locker room.

The Bowers picks is also a great job. People don;t seem to understand that since Keyshawn Johnson, only the DE, QB and OT positions have been made as the #1 overall pick. Even though the Panthers have Charles Johnson, why wouldn't the Panthers want to have 2 elite ends? Matter of fact, I would even put Robert Quinn in the mix as well right now considering his potential and how well his workouts could go.

As for the Nate Solder pick, absolutely outstanding, the Lions must keep Stafford up right and they must show their young QB they are taking serious steps in protecting him.

Some seem a stretch. Let's see. I believe the Vikings take a QB and Kaepernick seems good in the second but a Julio Jones in the first seems pretty far fetched. If they cant sign Rice they cam get a big receiver later.
That stands out the most. As well as the Saints taking Murray. I think maybe later in the draft he or probably Kendall Hunter. Second round saints possibly linebacker
