2010 NFL Mock Draft
Updated: 1 November 2009
This an early projection on where some of these prospects have value for the 2010 NFL Draft.
| Team | Player | Comments: | |
 |
1. | DT Ndamukong Suh, Nebraska | Suh is widely considered the best player in the draft and the Bucs drafted QB Josh Freeman in 2009. |
| Suh Moves like a 300 pound linebacker and could be the first overall pick. He will likely be one of the top five DTs in the NFL within three years. | |||
 |
2. | OT Russell Okung, OK State | Okung is a mauler and has NFL size (6' 5" 303 lbs). He is the best tackle in a weak O-line class. |
| The Chiefs will be looking to trade down here to get extra picks, but that's easier said than done. Matt Cassell needs some protection and the Chiefs need help all along the offensive line. | |||
 |
3. | QB Jake Locker, Washington (JR) | The Rams are a very bad team and need a franchise quarterback to start building around. |
| A supreme athlete, powerful arm and very dangerous running the ball, the 6' 3" 220 lbs Locker has taken the next step this season with his accuracy and decision making. | |||
 |
4. | S Eric Berry, Tennessee (JR) | Berry is the best safety to enter the draft since Redskin's deceased Sean Taylor. |
| Eric Berry will be a Pro Bowl safety in the NFL. He has the talent to even play some cornerback if needed. | |||
 |
5. | QB Jimmy Clausen, Notre Dame (JR) | QB Jason Campbell is washed up in DC. The Skins need to tear their team down and start over. |
| Clausen has NFL caliber size (6' 3" 217 lbs) and arm strength. Developed by offensive guru Charlie Weis and playing in a pro style offense will help him in the NFL. | |||
 |
6. | NT Terrence Cody, Alabama | Cody (6' 5" 356 lbs) is a monster on the inside and can dunk a basketball at his current weight. |
| He needs to lose about 20 more pounds to be drafted this high. | |||
 |
7. | DT Gerald McCoy, Oklahoma (JR) | Very active and nice size (6' 4" 305 lbs), he can be a force on the inside. |
| Not on the same level as Nebraska's Suh, but he will still be a first rounder if he declares for the 2010 NFL Draft. | |||
 |
8. | DE Carlos Dunlap, Florida (JR) | From Carolina: At 6' 6" 290 lbs. Dunlap is a special talent with NFL strength and quickness. |
| Double teamed a lot this year, but Dunlap recorded 9.5 sacks in 2008. | |||
 |
9. | WR Dez Bryant, Oklahoma State (JR) | Suspended for 2009 due to NCAA violations, he reportedly had contact with an agent and then lied about it. |
| Missing the season shouldn't hurt him if he works out well at the NFL Scouting Combine. A replacement for the aging Terrell Owens. | |||
 |
10. | QB Sam Bradford, Oklahoma | Quick release and very accurate, had shoulder surgery and must show the NFL Scouts that his arm is healthy. |
| Bradford is the most accurate passer in college football. He would have likely been a top five pick if he would have entered the 2009 NFL Draft. | |||
 |
11. | QB Colt McCoy, Texas | McCoy is a winner and was a four year starter at Texas. Arm strength is a concern though. |
| The Titans might bring in some competition for Vince Young. | |||
 |
12. | WR Dezmon Briscoe, Kansas (JR) | He plays big at 6' 3" 202 pounds, is blazing fast and can catch the ball in traffic. |
| Briscoe reminds me of Bronco WR Brandon Marshal. | |||
 |
13. | RB CJ Spiller, Clemson | Blazing fast, Spiller can also return kicks and punts and is a heck of a receiver. |
| A human highlight film, Spiller is a threat to score every time he touches the ball. | |||
 |
14. | ILB Rolando McLain, Alabama (JR) | McLain (6' 4" 254 lbs) is hard to run against and is a major force on the inside for the Tide. |
| The young McClain is a talent, but another season at Alabama would do him good. | |||
 |
15. | LB Brandon Spikes, Florida | Spikes hits like a ton of bricks, has nice size at 6' 3" 240 lbs. Not a speedster, but quick to the ball. |
| The Chargers need help on defense and Spikes should help. | |||
 |
16. | DE/OLB, Greg Hardy, Mississippi (JR) | Hardy (6' 4" 264 lbs) reminds me of the Cowboy's DeMarcus Ware. Has had trouble staying healthy. |
| Hardy was injured early and only played in 8 games last season, but still managed 9.5 TFLs and 8.5 sacks. | |||
 |
17. | OLB Jerry Hughes, TCU | Hughes (6' 2" 248 lbs) would be a perfect fit to play in the Packers new 3-4 defense. |
| Has been outstanding so far in 2009 recording 10.5 tackles for loss and 9 sacks. | |||
