Mock NFL Draft

Filed in archive NFL Draft by Kyle Smith on April 03, 2008

An updated look at the NFL Draft, as the event is now right around the corner.

1. Miami Dolphins: DE Chris Long, Virginia
- High end motor, good athlete possesses the never-quit attitude coaches love.

2. St. Louis Rams: DT Glenn Dorsey, LSU
- His recent workouts have teams excited about him once again, especially since there are fewer doubts about his medical issues.

3. Atlanta Falcons: OT Jake Long, Michigan
- True, they need a QB, but Matt Ryan has his detractors, and the Falcons need someone to open holes for Michael Turner.

4. Oakland Raiders: RB Darren McFadden, Arkansas
- Al Davis gets his man to form a new backfield with JaMarcus Russell.

5. Kansas City Chiefs: Sedrick Ellis, USC
- Kansas City has lacked a dominant DT for some time, and though offensive tackle is a priority, it is a deep position in this draft, and they can find one in the second round or possibly trade up.

6. New York Jets: OLB Vernon Gholston, Ohio State
- Could be a monster in the 3-4 alignment.

7. New England Patriots: CB Leodis McKelvin, Troy
- If the Pats stay here, McKelvin is the choice, but there has been lots of speculation that the team will try to trade out of this spot

8. Baltimore Ravens: QB Matt Ryan, Boston College
- The Ravens try again to find a franchise QB after failing with Kyle Boller.

9. Cincinnati Bengals: DE Derrick Harvey, Florida
- Cincy needs defense; they will be able to score even if Chad Johnson sits out.

10. New Orleans Saints: CB Dominique Rodgers-Cromartie, Tennessee St.
- New Orleans solidifies a secondary that killed them last season.

11. Buffalo Bills: WR Malcolm Kelly, Oklahoma
- His stock has dropped because he hasn't worked out for scouts yet, but the Bills need a receiver in the worst way, and if he is completely healthy, Kelly's the best in this draft class.

12. Denver Broncos: OL Ryan Clady, Boise State
- Clady should be thrilled to go to Denver to learn Mike Shanahan's zone blocking scheme.

13. Carolina Panthers: OL Branden Albert, Virginia
- Great workouts have Albert moving up draft boards, and he can play either guard or tackle.

14. Chicago Bears: OT Chris Williams, Vanderbilt
- Cedric Benson needs all the help he can get.

15. Detroit Lions: LB Keith Rivers, USC
- Adding Rivers with Ernie Sims would give the Lions a great young duo.

16. Arizona Cardinals: CB Aqib Talib, Kansas
- Arizona is thin at corner, as Antrelle Rolle is likely moving to free safety in 2008.

17. Minnesota Vikings: DE Phillip Merling, Clemson
- The Vikings have not had good luck picking defensive ends, so they'll give it another shot with Merling.

18. Houston Texans: RB Rashard Mendenhall, Illinois
- Mendenhall is a back that can do it with speed or power, and can take pressure off of QB Matt Schaub and WR Andre Johnson.

19. Philadelphia Eagles: OT Jeff Otah, Pittsburgh
- Philly will soon need replacements for vets Jon Runyan and William Thomas.

20. Tampa Bay Buccaneers: CB Mike Jenkins, South Florida
- Brian Kelly moved on to Detroit, so the Bucs will try to replace him with Jenkins.

21. Washington Redskins: DE Calais Campbell, Miami
- Campbell isn't a classic speed rusher, but he's a big man (6'7", 290) who seems to be a natural playmaker.

22. Dallas Cowboys: WR Devin Thomas, Michigan State
- Wide receiver is a position of need, and Thomas brings prototypical size and speed to the position.

23. Pittsburgh Steelers: OT Gosder Cherilus, Boston College
- The Steelers will need to protect their $100 million investment in Roethlisberger.

24. Tennessee Titans: WR DeSean Jackson, California
- Vince Young gets a burner to throw to, and someone who can be a force returning punts and kicks.

25. Seattle Seahawks - TE Dustin Keller, Purdue
- The combine's workout warrior fills a large void that has been present since Jerramy Stevens left. In fact, even with Stevens, it was a bit of a void.

26. jacksonville jaguarslinks: DT Kentwan Balmer, North Carolina
- Trading Marcus Stroud opened up a hole, and Balmer can help fix it.

27. San Diego Chargers: CB Brandon Flowers
- Not a great need, but the Chargers don't have too many. Flowers can step in and play in the nickel package right away.

28. Dallas Cowboys: RB Jonathan Stewart, Oregon
- Stewart should be relatively healthy by training camp, but Jerry Jones can take a chance because of Marion Barber's presence.

29. San Francisco 49ers: LB Jerod Mayo, Tennessee
- Follows in the footsteps of other San Fran first-round 'backers Patrick Willis and Manny Lawson.

30. Green Bay Packers: CB Justin King, Penn State
- King can add to their solid but aging stable of corners.

31. New England Patriots: Pick Forfeited

32. New York Giants: S Kenny Phillips, Miami
- Gibril Wilson left, and Sammy Knight is not a long-term solution.
