NFL Draft


What is a sports page, without a mock draft for the NFL draft? All sportswriters and fans have been weighing in with their mock drafts. I will now add my mock draft of the first ten picks to my page. The NFL draft is this upcoming Saturday, and many teams are looking to make many improvements. I believe this draft will be very intriguing with many possibilities.

My Mock Draft- 1-10

1. Miami Dolphins- Jake Long OL- Team needs to build foundation starting with offensive line.

2. St.Louis Rams- Glen Dorsey- DT- Team needs big force in middle of defense.

3. Atlanta Falcons- Matt Ryan QB- Maybe he will help people forget about Vick.

4. Oakland Raiders- Darren McFadden RB- Team needs star, after many loosing seasons.

5. Kansas City Chiefs- Chris Long DE- Team needs to replace pro-bowler Jarrod Allen

6. NY Jets- Vernon Gholston DE- He could play in the hybrid position in the 4-3 defense.

7. NE Patriots- Keith Rivers LB- Team needs to get younger at LB position.

8. Baltimore Ravens- Sedrick Ellis DT- Boost defense which is getting older.

9.Cincinnati Bengals- Ryan Clady OT- They need to protect Carson Palmer

10. NO Saints- Leodis McKelvin CB- Need shut down corner


What makes the draft so special is that all the experts have totally different opinions. The ESPN Scouts have all the players ranked. Also the two NFL Experts that cover the draft all year round are Mel Kiper Jr. and Todd McShay, who have their own official mock drafts.
