2010 NFL Mock Draft 2.0

by Seahawks
Pick Team Player Selected Player’s Position Player’s School Analysis
1. Sam Bradford
 Quarterback Oklahoma Ready to move in a new direction, the Rams select the new face of their franchise.
2. Russell Okung
 Offensive Tackle Oklahoma State
 Defensive tackle is an option here, but the Lions opt to protect last year’s investment (Stafford).
3. Ndamukong Suh
 Defensive Tackle
 Nebraska The Bucs are thrilled to have their choice between the top two defensive tackles available.
4. Bryan Bulaga
 Offensive Tackle
 Iowa Quarterback is a possibility, but the Redskins go with a bigger need: the offensive line.
5. Eric Berry Safety Tennessee The Chiefs are happy to see Berry fall to them; he provides an immediate upgrade to their secondary.
6. Gerald McCoy Defensive Tackle
 Oklahoma There are bigger needs, but the Seahawks need help everywhere in the trenches. McCoy offers great value and is a no-brainer at sixth overall.
7. Dez Bryant
 		Wide Receiver
 Oklahoma State
 Bryant gives the Browns a legit number one wide receiver and playmaker.
8. Trent Williams Offensive Tackle
 Oklahoma
 Needing upgrades at both tackle positions, the Raiders pass on other needs and address their offensive line.
9. Jimmy Clausen Quarterback Notre Dame Buffalo is desperate for a new quarterback and ecstatic that Clausen is available.
10.

Rolando McClain Linebacker
 Alabama A lot has been invested at this position already, but the Broncos can’t pass up a prospect like McClain.
11. Jason Pierre-Paul
 Defensive End South Florida
 Pierre-Paul may take some time to develop, but the Jaguars desperately need help rushing the passer.
12. Sergio Kindle Linebacker Texas Kindle seems like a perfect fit in Miami’s defensive scheme, and Parcells loves linebackers with first-round talent.
13. Joe Haden
 Cornerback Florida Looking to improve a pass defense that ranked 21st in 2009, the 49ers are very happy to see Haden available here.
14. C.J. Spiller Running Back Clemson There are a lot of players still on the board, but the Seahawks can’t pass on a dynamic playmaker like Spiller. Seattle doesn’t have anyone who scares opposing defenses.
15. Jared Odrick
 Defensive Tackle
 Penn State
 The Giants need to add a young body to their mix of aging, ineffective defensive tackles.
16. Derrick Morgan
 Defensive End
 Georgia Tech
 Morgan is arguably the best defensive end available and the Titans desperately need a disruptive presence at the position.
17. Mike Iupati
 Offensive Guard
 Idaho Not a glaring need, but Iupati is a hot prospect and the 49ers could upgrade their offensive line.
18. Anthony Davis
 Offensive Tackle Rutgers Davis is a great value here and could develop into a premier left tackle in the NFL.
19. Brandon Graham
 Defensive End
 Michigan Graham should give Atlanta a consistent pass rusher to play opposite John Abraham.
20. Ryan Mathews
 Running Back
 Fresno State
 Mathews is a nice complement to Steve Slaton and should add to an already potent Houston offense.
21. Brandon Spikes
 Linebacker Florida A bit of a reach, but Spikes fits nicely in Cincinnati’s D and adds depth to an already capable group.
22. Sean Witherspoon
 Linebacker Missouri The Patriots need help at this position, and Witherspoon’s physical skills are too good to pass up.
23. Bruce Campbell
 Offensive Tackle Maryland After allowing a league-high 51 sacks last year, upgrading the offensive line is a must.
24. Taylor Mays
 Safety Southern Cal
 Mays gives the Eagles a much-needed physical presence in the defensive backfield.
25. Jermaine Gresham
 Tight End
 Oklahoma
 Baltimore is going to give Joe Flacco everything he needs to be successful.
26. Jerry Hughes
 Linebacker Texas Christian
 Hughes should fit nicely in Arizona’s 3-4 defense; his pass-rushing talents fill a glaring need on the edge.
27. Earl Thomas
 Safety Texas There are other options here, but Thomas offers too much value here and fills a need in the secondary.
28. Dan Williams
 Defensive Tackle Tennessee Other needs aside, the Chargers need a big, run-stuffing defensive tackle.
29. Golden Tate
 Wide Receiver
 Notre Dame
 A legitimate playmaker at wide receiver, Tate should be a popular pick with Jets fans.
30. Kyle Wilson
 Cornerback Boise State
 The Vikings need to add a tough, athletic defensive back.
31. Maurkice Pouncey
 Guard/Center
 Florida Pouncey is probably the best offensive lineman available and should immediately upgrade Indy’s interior.
32. Sean Lee
 Linebacker Penn State
 The Saints are looking for more weapons on defense and won’t hesitate selecting Lee.

Tebow should be taken in the first round ahead of Clausen and in the top 15. This is why so many want to trade out of the top 5 and get more picks. There are a lot of players being under valued. Texas reciever included.

To me you fix what needs fixing the most. Upgrade the offensive line. Seasons are won and lost on the line of scrimmage. Give Hasselbeck some time to pass, give the receivers some time to get open, give Forsett some holes to run through and I think we will be pleasantly surprised.

I agree -- I wouldn't mind investing BOTH first-round picks on the offensive line. Given the current state of the franchise, I also would prefer to trade down at certain spots and acquire additional picks.

But I think if this scenario actually plays out -- I'm usually terrible at mock drafts, so don't bet on it -- the Seahawks might pass on addressing the offensive line. The easiest way to draft poorly is to let needs dictate your strategy.

In 2003, the Seahawks desperately needed defensive linemen. They needed a big body in the middle and a pass-rushing presence on the edge. They passed on Jimmy Kennedy in the first round, who many considered one of the best defensive tackles available, and selected Marcus Trufant. The rest is history. In fact, the Seahawks didn't draft a defensive lineman until the sixth round.

Again, I think we need to find help for the offensive line sooner than later, but don't be surprised if the need isn't immediately addressed.

If the Seahawks don't take an offensive lineman in the first round, there will still be several quality players available the next day. Guys like Vladimir Ducasse (Massachusetts), Selvish Capers (West Virginia), and Charles Brown (Southern Cal) are all very talented and could be available when the Seahawks pick. Doubtful after dropping down to 60th overall, but this draft is still rich with offensive linemen.

This is not to say I wouldn't love to see both McCoy and Spiller on the squad, but I really hope we utilize a first round pick to pick up (at least) one stud offensive lineman.

What offensive linemen do you think would be available at overall pick #60?
