1. Dolphins: Jake Long
2. Rams: Chris Long
Analysis: Would not be suprised if theres a trade or if dorsey and gholston were taken
3. Falcons: Glenn Dorsey
Analysis: Matt Ryan is a possibility here but the falcons have already been burned once with a supposed franchise QB.
4. Raiders: Vernon Gholston,
Analysis: It will be hard to for the Raiders to pass up McFadden, but Gholston is the only one that compares to Mcfadden athletically. Al Davis will be tempted to pick McFadden, but the Raiders defense could become great with this pick.
5. Chiefs: Branden Albert,
Analysis: I am a firm believer that this pick will be traded. The trade of Jared Allen gives the Chiefs even more holes to fill. (if that is possible) Look for the Saints, Panthers, or Cowboys to trade up for this pick.
6. Jets: Darren McFadden,
Analysis: Not a great need at running back for the Jets, but the best player fell right in their laps. Matt Ryan is a possiblity here.
7. Patriots: Keith Rivers,
Analysis: The Patriots are getting old at linebacker and teams can get more quality at CB later in the draft.
8. Ravens: Ryan Clady,
Analysis: Matt Ryans fall starts here. Brady Quinn all over again? Jonathan Ogden retired this year and Clady fills that void.
9. Bengals: Sedrick Ellis,
Analysis: I really hope we never hear from Chad Johnson again
10. Saints: Leodis McKelvin
Analysis: The saints would love to get Sedrick Ellis and may trade up to do so.
11. Bills: Devin Thomas
Analysis: Thomas is a reach here could go with one of the DB's
12. Broncos: Jeff Otah,
Analysis: Otah is a big physical tackle perfect for the running scheme.
13. Panthers: Matt Ryan,
Analysis: Jake Delhomme's run is all but over. Matt Ryan is put in a perfect situation.
14. Bears: Chris Williams,
Analysis: Williams is a true left tackle that can let Tait finish his career back at RT where he belongs.
15. Lions: Rashard Mendenhall,
Analysis: Stewert would be the pick here if he had not had toe surgery a month ago.
16. Cardinals: Dominique Rodgers-Cromartie,
Analysis: RB is another possiblility here with the Edge getting older and slower.
17. Chiefs: Derrick Harvey,
Analysis: Fills void Jared Allen left when he went to the Vikings. How good are the Vikings going to be?
18. Texans: Jonathan Stewart,
Analysis: After passing on Reggie Bush two years ago the texans take a gamble on Stewart and it should pay off.
19. Eagles: Phillip Merling,
Analysis: I would not be suprised if they take a WR or DB. But after the release of Jevon Kearse I think this is their biggest need.
20. Bucaneers: Aqib Talib,
Analysis: A WR is a possibility here, but the secondary is starting to age.
21. Redskins: Quentin Groves,
Analysis: This is a suprise pick, but DE is a big need
22. Cowboys: Felix Jones,
Analysis: Jerry Jones is an Arkansas alum and loves the change of pace between Jones and Barber.
23. Steelers: James Hardy,
Analysis: Big Ben wants a big reciever and he gets the biggest 6"5 and great hands.
24. Titans: DeSean Jackson
Analysis: Titans need to get Young another weapon and do with Jackson. Also, Jackson can take over the punt returning duties pac man jones left.
25. Seahawks: Gosder Cherilus,
Analysis: Walter Jones is getting older and theres really not enough value to get a TE here.
26. Jaguars: Kentwan Balmer
Analysis: I could see some teams trading up to get him, so the Jaguars would have to be thrilled to get him here.
27. Chargers: Mike Jenkins
Analysis: Hard to believe Jenkins falls this far but CB help is a big need for the Chargers. A RB is possibility here.
28. Cowboys: Limas Sweed
Analysis: Cowboys keep it in Texas and fill the need of a younger WR.
29. 49ers: Mario Manningham:
Analysis: I really do not know much about the 49ers except they need to get some weapons around Alex Smith and Frank Gore
30. Packers: Justin King
Analysis: After watching the NFC championship game there is an obvious need for help in the secondary.
31. Giants: Kenny Phillips
Analysis: The Super Bowl champions are weak everywhere except the defensive line.

Some nice picks. I personally like mine better. I think there are a few trades. I don't see King getting in the 1st round. There are a lot better guys out there. The Pats, Panthers, and Cardinals can really change this draft depending on who they take.
If Ryan slides to them, do the Bears take him?
Adam, your mock draft seems logical. I suppose we could ponder the values of players, swap some here an there, but the teams seem to address actual needs.
Chinski, if the Bears pick Matt Ryan with their first rounder, I might be angry enough to kick the small Chinese lady that lives down my street. I don't think the Bears should be touching any of this year's QBs in the first round if there's a LT prospect on the board.
If I were Jerry Angelo, I might consider taking Brohm if he fell to the second round pick. I'm making a prediction and saying that he's going to be a better pro than Matt Ryan.
I wouldn't be surprised if the Fudgies make a move up in the first round to grab a corner. I could also see the Jaguars moving up as well.
The players I see possibly being available at pick 14 that could garner enough interest from other teams, for the Bears to trade down are Mendenhall, Rodgers-Cromartie, Harvey, and Albert.
That's all for now. Good day.
Patrick R. Rice I am glad you responded. I am first going to start with Sean. Sean your statment about King is agreeable. Although, you can really pick between three different CB's for the Packers at that pick. I just think King is the most athletically gifted. Rice I agree with you, if the Bears touch a QB in the first round I might become a Lions fan. Believe me I do not want to root for the same team Wyatt does. In fact I am going to go out on a limb and say the Bears should not touch a QB in this draft at all. The Bears have too many needs in other areas (Safety, OLine, RB, WR) and are paying the QB's they have now good money.
I agree about the QB situation Adam. Considering Brohm in the second round for me would be the only scenario of taking a QB in the first day, that I could live with. Although, my preference is to take OL in the first, and take another OL or RB in the second, maybe a one of a couple of other positions, if the right guy fell.
It's almost a given that we're taking a QB. I like Erik Ainge as a later round project at QB.
Rice I could not agree more on taking two offensive lineman with the Bears first two picks. I am a firm believer that Sam Baker out of USC will be available in the second round. The perfect scenario would be for Brendan Albert to fall to the Bears lap at 14. Albert is versatile player who could start at guard right away, then take over for Tait when hes ready to call it quits. As for the QB situation I love John David Booty's footwork and accuracy. I also think he is the most ready to play right away. However, his height and arm strength scare me a little.
I agree line is the most important piece. The Vikings have done an awesome job of crating dominant lines on both sides of the ball. That being said, how long can this franchise ignore QB? Ryan will be gone but if he did fall, they would have to consider it. When I posted it, I thought no. After seeing your comments as Bears fans ignoring the critical position. If Hamil is right and Baker is available, what is wrong with Ryan, Baker, and Rachal as the first 3 picks? I honestly would be fine with that. Also, the Bears have bad history drafting lineman. The last time they took two lineman early was Columbo and Metcalf in the 1st and 3rd. That clearly, did not upgrade our line much. Granted, the lineman are much stronger in this draft but that means there will still be good ones available in the 3rd and 4th Round.
