It's not your standard mock. A little scary actually....
What if Dez Bryant falls down the draft board because of character concerns? What if four Quarterbacks were drafted in the first-round? Check back every Monday leading up to the draft for my new “What If!?!” mock draft!
1. St. Louis - Sam Bradford, QB, Oklahoma - The Rams have a ton of needs, but perhaps the most glaring is at quarterback. Bradford checks out medically, and the Rams get the franchise quarterback they’ve been searching for.
2. Detroit - Ndamukong Suh, DT, Nebraska - The Lions have been very active in free agency, adding DL Corey Williams via trade. Suh is more versatile than McCoy and makes a ton of sense with this pick.
3. Tampa Bay - Gerald McCoy, DT, Oklahoma - Tampa Bay must choose between FS Eric Berry and McCoy, and they decide to go with the big Defensive Lineman. McCoy and Roy Miller should give the Bucs a strong front line.
4. Washington - Jimmy Clausen, QB, Notre Dame - Mike Shanahan will keep Jason Campbell around while he grooms his replacement in Jimmy Clausen. Shanny sees him as another Jay Cutler, and will ease him into the lineup towards the end of the year.
5. Kansas City - Russell Okung, OT, Oklahoma State - Fan boys have been trying to figure out how to re-unite Charlie Weis and Jimmy Clausen with this pick, but it just won’t happen. The Chiefs have too much invested in QB Matt Cassel, and they must protect him better if they want to get the most out of him.
6. Seattle - Bruce Campbell, OT, Maryland - The Seahawks have many needs, but perhaps none is more important than adding quality players to the offensive line. Campbell had a great performance at the Scouting Combine, and should be a mainstay on the line for years to come.
7. Cleveland - Kyle Wilson, CB, Boise State - Having added OT Tony Pashos the Browns don’t feel the need to address their offensive line here. Joe Haden was their top target, but they decide to go with Wilson instead because of his performance at the combine.
8. Oakland - Bryan Bulaga, OT, Iowa - Many people expect the Raiders to take Rutgers OT Anthony Davis here, but Al Davis is always full of surprises. Bulaga is very versatile and capable of playing up to four spots on the offensive line.
9. Buffalo - Tim Tebow, QB, Florida - The absolute shock of the draft happens here when Buffalo selects Tebow with a top 10 pick. Chan Gailey has worked with athletic QBs before (Kordell Stewart, Tyler Thigpen) and knows that Tebow will take time to develop. In the meantime, Trent Edwards will be the starter while Tebow develops and the team adds more weapons around him.
10. Jacksonville - Eric Berry, CB/FS, Tennessee - The Jags are privately upset in losing out on Tim Tebow, but feel good about Eric Berry falling to this spot. Berry will immediately be an upgrade over Reggie Nelson, plus help out with the return game.
