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. Green Bay Packers: Mike Person, OT/G, Montana State
    The Packers are not a needy team and can add more support for their offensive line here.


  2. Detroit Lions: Cliff Matthews, DE, South Carolina
    This could be the draft that establishes a solid defensive line for the Lions, so they double dip here.

  3. Buffalo Bills: Jermale Hines, SS, Ohio State
    The Bills are going to fish for someone to replace free agent Donte Whitner, who is probably not going back. I expect the move to come earlier than this although the safety class is weak.

  4. Cincinnati Bengals: Johnny Culbreath, OT, South Carolina State
    Offensive line is an area of concern for the Bengals. Andre Smith still has no established impact role on the line, and I still have nightmares about him running without his shirt on. The team has shown interest in Culbreath and might take him in the final round simply because there is no way to sign free agent rookies until the CBA is settled.

  5. New York Jets: Adam Weber, QB, Minnesota
    Backup quarterback is a priority for the Jets. Someone who accepts snot boogers being rubbed on them is not a requirement. A lot of teams are looking at Weber, Jets included, and I expect him to get drafted.

  6. Seattle Seahawks: Tori Gurley, WR, South Carolina
    Next year, another Gamecock receiver, Alshon Jeffery, is a likely first-round pick. Pete Carroll likes big receivers, and while it is not a big need, this is the seventh round.



  7. Atlanta Falcons: T.J. Yates, QB, North Carolina
    The Falcons are on the lookout for a reliable backup quarterback, and are one of the handful of teams interested in T.J. Yates.

  8. San Francisco 49ers: Mike Mohamed, ILB, California
    As a late-round addition, I really like Mike Mohamed's ability to support a team's linebacker depth chart. He travels across the bridge and takes his aggressive style with him to contribute as a backup and on special teams.

  9. Tennessee Titans: Chris L. Rucker, CB, Michigan State
    I will not mention a certain opposing quarterback's name yet again, but the Titans do face a couple teams capable of passing the football and need to keep the talent flowing at cornerback.

  10. Washington Redskins: Mario Harvey, ILB, Marshall
    Rocky McIntosh is miscast in a 3-4 and London Fletcher was around when the wheel was invented.

  11. Houston Texans: Joshua Portis, QB, California-PA
    A dozen teams or so have checked out Joshua Portis and he is likely to get drafted. The Texans aren't desperate for a backup quarterback, but Matt Leinart wants to go somewhere else and compete for starting job. Does he mean the UFL? Is there a hot tub league I don't know about?

  12. Minnesota Vikings: Jonas Mouton, OLB, Michigan
    I don't think any position is off limits to add talent for the Vikings.



  13. St. Louis Rams: Jock Sanders, WR, West Virginia
    Plenty of teams are taking a look at Jock Sanders, including the Rams, and he could be an intriguing weapon for new offensive coordinator Josh McDaniels to play with.

  14. Miami Dolphins: Derek Newton, OT, Arkansas State
    The offensive line did not play well last year and the Dolphins have taken a look at the slightly less coveted Derek Newton in this year's draft class.

  15. Miami Dolphins: Jerrard Tarrant, FS, Georgia Tech
    Chris Clemons needs a challenger. Unfortunately this is not the draft class to be looking for one, and the Dolphins do not have a lot of picks to work with.

  16. Oakland Raiders: Andrew Jackson, OG, Fresno State
    The Raiders would be well served to add multiple offensive linemen and get a somewhat local product here from just down the road in "The Valley."

  17. Dallas Cowboys: Collin Zych, S, Harvard
    More defensive help for the Cowboys.

  18. New York Giants: Akeem Dent, ILB, Georgia
    In reality, the Giants are going to add linebacker help earlier than this, but no mock draft should be "perfect." The real one will certainly not be for every team.

  19. Tampa Bay Buccaneers: Armon Binns, WR, Cincinnati
    If you think about it, the letters in Armon Binns and Arrelious Benn are pretty similar. Imagine the fun we could have with the announcers trying to keep their names straight. Oh, and Benn is injured.


  20. Kansas City Chiefs: Jarred Fayson, WR, Illinois
    Clearly the Chiefs are going to find a way to grab a receiver earlier than this. I would have had to force it though and not every team gets what they want in every mock draft. If I tried to do it that way, it would be unrealistic. A lot of teams are poking around Jarred Fayson including Kansas City.

  21. Washington Redskins: Tyrod Taylor, QB, Virginia Tech
    Sweet! The Redskins get their franchise quarterback in the seventh round. Just kidding, but they have looked at him and might add him as an option if available this late. Way too many quarterbacks are going to get drafted way too soon in the 2011 NFL Draft.

  22. Baltimore Ravens: Justin Rogers, CB, Richmond
    There are too many question marks at cornerback. The Ravens might add two.

  23. New Orleans Saints: David Mims, OT, Virginia Union
    In the seventh round, I can always justify additions on the offensive line.

  24. Philadelphia Eagles: Jason Kelce, C, Cincinnati
    Depth for the center position where Jamaal Jackson returns from injury.

  25. St. Louis Rams: Keith Williams, G, Nebraska
    Truth be told, I wish I had given the Rams help on the interior of their line sooner than this.

  26. Atlanta Falcons: David Arkin, G, Missouri State
    The Falcons love to keep the ball away from the other team with their running game and need to keep their interior line strong.

  27. Atlanta Falcons: Reid Forrest, P, Washington State
    As one of my readers pointed out, Michael Koenen's play is not commensurate with his performance.



  28. San Francisco 49ers: Colin Brodie, CB/KR, South Dakota State
    More help in the secondary and another option in the return game to boot.

  29. Pittsburgh Steelers: Chas Henry, P, Florida
    Daniel Sepulveda is a free agent with injury issues.

  30. Green Bay Packers: Anthony Gray, DT, Southern Miss
    This has been portrayed as a bigger need by some, but this makes a lot more sense and they have looked at Anthony Gray.

  31. San Diego Chargers: Bryant Browning, G, Ohio State
    A lot of my picks are based on team interest, and as I have said, offensive line help is always justifiable in the late rounds.

  32. Miami Dolphins: J.T. Thomas, OLB, West Virginia
    Every year I usually include at least one reference to 3-4 teams constantly searching for linebackers and they have given J.T. Thomas a look.

  33. Minnesota Vikings: Alex Linnenkohl, C, Oregon State
    This is not a great year to be looking for a center, but the Vikings are in the market.

  34. Philadelphia Eagles: Zach Pianalto, TE, North Carolina
    College football fans were robbed of watching the Tar Heels chase a BCS title. Who wouldn't have wanted to see their stacked defense take on either Auburn or Oregon? Yeah, I'm running out of material. The Eagles have kicked the tires on Zach Pianalto.

  35. Tampa Bay Buccaneers: Chris White, ILB, Mississippi State
    Free agency issues make linebacker a priority for the Buccaneers in the 2011 NFL Draft.

  36. San Francisco 49ers: Jeff Maehl, WR, Oregon
    This mock draft has Maehl. OK, that was bad. Sorry, it's the seventh round.

  37. Philadelphia Eagles: Deron Mayo, LB, Old Dominion
    With all of the players with NFL bloodlines who will be taken much earlier, no one is really talking about Jerod Mayo's brother. He could be worth a late round flier, and the Eagles are one of the interested parties. They take linebackers late anyway.

  38. Oakland Raiders: Nate Enderle, QB, Idaho
    I want to get Nate Enderle off the board because he will be drafted and the Raiders are probably going to take a quarterback. I don't love the fit. If Colin Kaepernick gets close to their spot in the second round, expect Al Davis to strike by trading up.

  39. Seattle Seahawks: Adrian Moten, OLB, Maryland
    The linebacker position needs a little support, and it might come a little earlier than this.

  40. New Orleans Saints: Chris Neild, DT, West Virginia
    More help up front for the Saints who still feel the sting of giving up 41 points in the playoffs to a 7-9 team.

  41. Carolina Panthers: Byron Bell, OT, New Mexico
    The Panthers had injury problems on the offensive line and need to draft depth.

  42. Buffalo Bills: Lee Smith, TE, Marshall
    We're closing in on Mr. Irrelevant, and I'm giving the Bills one of the highest rated tight ends left. Maybe they get lucky.

  43. Cincinnati Bengals: Ryan Jones, CB, Northwest Missouri State
    Depth at cornerback, and if Johnathan Joseph departs, they will probably need to be more aggressive than this.

  44. Denver Broncos: Josh Thomas, CB, Buffalo
    Andre Goodman could be cut, and while Champ Bailey is sticking around, he is getting close to the age where injuries kick in. They need to secure depth.

  45. Cleveland Browns: Ryan Winterswyky, DE, Boise State
    Again, the Browns are going to add a lot of pieces for their defensive line in the 2011 NFL Draft.

  46. Arizona Cardinals: Mario Fannin, RB, Auburn
    The Cardinals could use another option in their backfield.

  47. San Francisco 49ers: Derek Hall, OT, Stanford
    The best way for new head coach Jim Harbaugh to offset the impact of his first season being screwed up by a labor dispute is by taking one of his old players. He knows what he is getting.

  48. Tennessee Titans: Ray Dominquez, OT/G, Arkansas
    Whoever the quarterback winds up being, the Titans have to make sure their offensive line is improved.

  49. Dallas Cowboys: Josh Bynes, ILB, Auburn
    This is unbelievable. How do I come up with the same player this late in the draft as Walt? Well, it happened with me thinking independently based on what is left on my board.

  50. Washington Redskins: Ryan Bartholomew, C, Syracuse
    The Redskins need several additions along the offensive line.

  51. Houston Texans: Nick Bellore, ILB, Central Michigan
    My Mr. Irrelevant isn't as good as Walt's, but you would never believe (again, see two picks above) I actually had the same player. I had to switch this one. The Texans get depth inside at linebacker here.

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

DeMarco Murray over Kendall Hunter? No way.

I have to think Mallet goes in the first two rounds.

some seem a little far fetched but it's good one.I especially like Da'Quan Bowers to the Panthers.
