Printdude doesnt even name Mccoy being taken on the first round. check it out.
link here: BS 2010 SI.com draft
1. St. Louis Rams (trade with Lions on draft day)
*Sam Bradford, QB, Oklahoma
Lions will have the worst record, but can't afford another No. 1 overall. Teams will want to trade up for this QB, unlike the lack of interest in Matt Stafford. The only danger is critics will have a year to pick apart Bradford, who could have been No. 1 this year.
2. Oakland Raiders
*Eric Berry, SS, Tennessee
Will the new Raiders coach be able to talk Al Davis out of workout wonder Taylor Mays? This is very high for a safety, but Berry is special.
3. Tampa Bay Buccaneers
*Gerald McCoy, DT, Oklahoma
Tampa Bay's defense will really need help after its first full Monte Kiffin-less season.
4. Detroit Lions (trade with Rams on draft day)
Russell Okung, OT, Oklahoma State
They'll do anything to protect their investment in Matthew Stafford.
5. San Francisco 49ers
Taylor Mays, S, USC
Might as well cement all the comparisons to Ronnie Lott.
6. Jacksonville Jaguars
Ndamukong Suh, DT, Nebraska
The disruptive Suh will help bring some bite back to this defense.
7. Cleveland Browns
Mark Herzlich, LB, Boston College
Or perhaps Sergio Kindle, who is slotted at No. 14.
8. New York Jets (via draft day trade with Chiefs)
*Dez Bryant, WR, Oklahoma State
Assuming the Jets don't sign Plaxico Burress, new quarterback Mark Sanchez will need more help.
9. Cincinnati Bengals
*Arrelious Benn, WR, Illinois
How much longer can an unhappy Chad Johnson work in Cincy?
10. Green Bay Packers
Trent Williams, OT, Oklahoma
The Packers need to make that big investment in Aaron Rodgers pay off.
11. Buffalo Bills
*Bryan Bulaga, OT, Iowa
The Bills could also look at receiver if the Terrell Owens experiment doesn't work out.
12. Seattle Seahawks (via Broncos)
*Joe Haden, CB, Florida
The Seahawks will need more help running after the Cardinals' receivers.
13. Washington Redskins
Tim Tebow, QB, Florida
All it takes is for one team to fall in love with the chosen one. No owner develops crushes like Daniel Snyder, who will take Tebow 10 picks too early. Tebow doesn't necessarily fit the mold of a Jim Zorn quarterback, but there could be a new coach in Washington by draft day if the Redskins end up slotted at No. 13.
14. Kansas City Chiefs (via draft day trade with Jets)
Sergio Kindle, OLB, Texas
Actually, I wouldn't be surprised if Scott Pioli traded down even more in this draft to take control of the second round, like he used to in New England. The Chiefs already have the Falcons' pick for the Tony Gonzalez trade.
15. Minnesota Vikings
*Carlos Dunlap, DE, Florida
He's 6-foot-6, 285 pounds and could go even higher if he dominates the 2009 season.
16. Atlanta Falcons
Terrence Cody, DT, Alabama
The Falcons did draft Peria Jerry, but coach Mike Smith could add more size on that defensive line. Cody has battled weight problems but slimmed down in the offseason.
17. Miami Dolphins
Brandon Spikes, LB, Florida
The hard-hitting LB has Bill Parcells written all over him. (That's assuming Parcells is still with the 'Fins.)
18. Seattle Seahawks
Greg Hardy, DE, Mississippi
If this seems too low a spot for a team that finished 4-12 last season, remember the Seahawks were decimated by injuries in 2008. Hardy's a big talent who has attitude issues to address.
19. New Orleans Saints
*Jonathan Dwyer, RB, Georgia Tech
New Orleans failed to get a big back in this year's draft.
20. Baltimore Ravens
Brandon LaFell, WR, LSU
Baltimore's leading receiver, Derrick Mason, is 35.
21. Denver Broncos (via Bears)
Sean Weatherspoon, LB, Missouri
<!--startclickprintexclude-->
Quarterback Jevan Snead transferred to Ole Miss from Texas before the 2006 season.
Bill Frakes/SI
<!--endclickprintexclude-->
|
Denver will still be looking to shore up its defense.
22. Houston Texans
*Marvin Austin, DT, North Carolina
We've all heard this before, but this is the year the Texans break into the playoffs.
23. Dallas Cowboys
Trevard Lindley, CB, Kentucky
Tony Romo fails to get his first playoff win, which would have moved the Cowboys further down in the first round.
24. Tennessee Titans
Jermaine Gresham, TE, Oklahoma
Or will Tennessee be looking for a quarterback here? We'll give Vince Young the benefit of the doubt.
25. San Francisco 49ers (via Panthers)
*Jevan Snead, QB, Mississippi
Depending on who you talk to, Snead could be the No. 1 overall pick next year or fall out of the first round. Keep an eye on one of this year's most interesting prospects.
26. Arizona Cardinals
George Selvie, DE, South Florida
Will the Cardinals be looking for a QB as well? We'll also give Matt Leinart the benefit of the doubt.
27. Indianapolis Colts
Brandon Lange, DE, Troy
The small-school product could be the Colts' next sack specialist.
28. Pittsburgh Steelers
Javier Arenas, CB, Alabama
Not a lot of immediate needs I can see for Pittsburgh, so it can take the best available talent.
29. New York Giants
*Rolando McClain, LB, Alabama
The Giants will likely need a burner at receiver, but McClain reportedly has looked scary during spring practice.
30. New England Patriots
C.J. Spiller, RB, Clemson
If they don't trade out of the first round, they'll need a running back.
31. Philadelphia Eagles
Ciron Black, OT, LSU
Andy Reid gets back to his true passion next season, drafting offensive linemen.
32. San Diego Chargers
*DeMarco Murray, RB, Oklahoma
Chargers finally get over the hump in the playoffs.

There is a long way to go
Phil Loadholt was considered a first rounder going into last season, and Rak killed that
Blazz
Understandable, but
Even at this point before the season all of the talking heads that be within the NFL understand that Tebow has almost no potential as a pro quarterback. To say that he will go early in the first round before either Sergio or Colt are taken is a bit remiss. That alone shows me the lack of credibility of this Mock. I have seen Mock’s before that come out this early and none have been as asinine.
What a bunch of pure poppycock
This is all meant to just give him a sounding board for what he thinks of players right now in CFB, and what he thinks of certain NFL players. Case in point,
24. Tennessee Titans
Jermaine Gresham, TE, Oklahoma
Or will Tennessee be looking for a quarterback here? We’ll give Vince Young the benefit of the doubt.
Why would the Titans take another TE when they have one pretty good TE (who hails from Texas, as well) and several serviceable ones? Oh wait, he just wanted to rag on Vince some more.
What a worthless exercise on the author’s part. Off-season is truly the most boring time of the year, and the best time to learn to hate sports journalists.
also...
they just drafted a receiving TE this past weekend (Cook from So. Carolina)
I agree w/ your assessment, and think this is just plain lazy

No McCoy?
WAIT…only one person from USC…this can’t be right!
Ulatoski
I think he’ll go pretty high. What about Lamar Houston?
What's the point?
The mock drafts that come out the day before the draft are typically way off, so what’s the purpose of putting one out 360 days in advance? Perhaps he’d be better served just listing some players he thinks are worth watching.
The Chiefs trade down and still get Kindle? I might be in heaven, and it would make up for the terrible 2009 pick (Tyson Jackson #3 overall).

That was a real head scratcher!
KC wasn’t interested in Orakpo because he is more a 4-3 end, but isn’t Sergio basically going to end being the same sort of player?!? I know he is cross-listed as a LB, but does he really translate as LB in a 3-4 or is his potential as an end in a 4-3?
A linebacker who makes a late transition to rush end in college is pretty much the dream for a team that wants to draft a guy to play rush linebacker in the 3-4. His skill set is exactly what I’d want there. DeMarcus Ware, Shawne Merriman (when he’s on his steroid regimen), and most of the other top rush linebackers in 3-4 defenses were defensive ends who might’ve been a little undersized to play from a three-point stance, but projected very well to stand-up linebacker. Lamar Woodley, if he keeps up his pace, is on the same list.

haha wow they have tebow getting drafted ahead of McCoy
is this for real????
the media LOVES Tebow
get ready for a long year!
If it ends up like the last time this scenario played out...
If this ends up like 2005 with Leinart and Bush as media darlings and VY pretty much snubbed, I’ll take it. I would love to see us win another MNC against the ‘bestest team/player eva’.
Silly
He was probably looking to pass the time while waiting on his fresh-out-of-the-microwave hot pockets cooled off.
Oh, I know, I’ll do a mock draft!
Couldn't find CNNSI's from last year, but McShay's is hilarious
LINK to McShay 2009 projection from last April. (Insider)
1. Fili Moala
2. MIchael Johnson
3. Stafford
4. Al Woods
5. Senderrick Marks
6. Andre Smith
7. Tim Tebow
Yes, he thought Tim Tebow would have gone 7th in this years draft. He had 2 second rounders going 1-2. These things are a joke. And, who is Al Woods? I don’t want to copy/paste any premium content, but these guys posted the whole thing.
speaking of posting the whole thing
do we need to have a discussion on what is “fair use” in the fanposts? This post even took one of the pictures from the original article.
i don't think he's worried about that...
…more about the fact that you just copied and pasted the story into the body, but yeah, you can just add the link in a fanshot.

Al Woods
Is a backup DT for LSU who had a whopping 11 tackles all of last year (none for a loss), never managed more than two tackles in a game and has only started three games in three years.
McShay had to project that off his freshman year (7 tackles) and sophomore, where about half of his production came in two games. He’s got all the talent in the world for a space eater, but I’ve only seen him care against Tenn in the SEC championship game. Generally he plays like he just ate 30 Popeyes biscuits with extra gravy.
It seems like McShay, like Perloff and many talking heads, doesn’t watch much actual football. No wonder Maycock is the only one good at his job.

That is too funny!
I think Mel Kiper has a bit of a carny look to him…maybe its because he looks like he uses ferris wheel grease in his hair?
McShay will forever be a carny in my world

McShay's Mock
Bradford 1. Colt McCoy 6. Adam Ulatoski (!!!) 9. Kindle 10.
An incredible 9 of the top 10 picks are from the Big XII, the one exception being Taylor Mays at 8. Dude completely forgot about Eric Berry, though.
Picks like that...
…are the reason I’m not an insider.

McShay didn't include Al Woods!
What a bummer.

Berry’s only going to be a junior, so perhaps he doesn’t believe the kid will declare. Obviously he’s not ignoring juniors entirely, as he included Bradford, but maybe he’s making projections on who’ll declare.

Rivals from a Year ago
Had Rudy Carpenter in the first round – http://nfldraft.rivals.com/content.asp?CID=802821

to make it worse...
Johnson dropped to the third round, and supposedly Woods is a BACKUP at LSU!
by vy til i die on Apr 29, 2009 10:28 AM CDT up reply actions
Here's another one
Bradford at 3. Colt at 9. Kindle at 16. Wanna venture a guess who’s number 1? Click through the link. I guarantee you’ll be surprised.
Eric Berry would be the consensus favorite to go #1 overall if it weren’t for the fact that he’s a safety. As it is, he shouldn’t be projected any worse than the top five right now.
by burntorangehorn on Apr 29, 2009 9:41 PM CDT reply actions
In order to drop out of the top ten, I think he’d have to regress quite a bit, or maybe have a major off-field meltdown.
by burntorangehorn on Apr 30, 2009 3:01 PM CDT up reply actions
Best part of the article right here
22. Houston Texans
*Marvin Austin, DT, North Carolina
We’ve all heard this before, but this is the year the Texans break into the playoffs.
