NFL Mock Draft Part II

Alright, buckle up, I've got the next five picks in my mock draft comin' at you. And if they aren't 100% exactly what happens in next months draft, I'll give you a complete refund on your money. But, believe it or not, it is WAAAY more difficult to do this type of mocking than the usual mocking of people who are far more talented than I'll ever be. These legit articles take research and insight. So you better enjoy the shit out of this, because unless I somehow develop a work ethic, these type of things might be few and far between. Anyway, on with the fake drafting...


6. Bryan Bulaga OT, Iowa

So I went to my resident Seahawks exepert, Saint Sam, to get a glimpse at what he expects for this pick. I believe the exact words he used were "I've accepted that it's not going to be someone sexy." Well it doesn't come any less sexy than an offensive tackle from Iowa. Whatever, dude probably still gets with more babes than I ever have or will. But Seattle gets a monster run blocker here with great footwork and work ethic to replace the legend Walter Jones, who retired this offseason.


7. Cleveland Browns- Eric Berry S, Tennessee

Mike Holmgren realized that it is very unlikely that either Sam Bradfor or Jimmy Clausen falls to number 7 in the draft, and signed both Seneca Wallace and Jake Delhomme to replace Derek Anderson and Brady Quinn who he sent shipping. While it certainly is not a long term fix by any stretch of the imagination, it does free up the Browns to select Eric Berry here. Berry may be the most talented player in the entire draft, and would sure up a very shaky secondary.


8. Bruce Campbell OT, Maryland

Al Davis only drafts based on how absurd of an athlete a prospect is, not on how good of a football player he is. With Berry off of the board there are three athletic freaks left in the draft: Taylor Mays, Jason Pierre-Paul and Bruce Campbell. The Raiders franchised Richard Seymore and traded for Kamerion Wimbley, which rules out Pierre-Paul. I'd like to believe that Mays would have been drafted in the first round by the Raiders last year if he had declared, and is a distinct possibility to be picked here. However, Oakland drafted Michael Mitchell in the second round last year, and already have Michael Huff and Tyvon Branch at the Safety position.

This leaves Bruce Campbell who at 6'7", 310 lbs, ran a 4.85 40 yard dash at the combine and also benched 34 reps of 225 pounds. None of which translates to film. Ungodly athletic and not a very good football player? Sounds about right here.


9. Buffalo Bills- Trent Williams OT, Oklahoma

Ah, on to my beloved Buffalo Bills. This may be the most difficult pick in the draft to call, as the Bills have more holes than my gym socks I've had since 8th grade. Additionally, they hired a new GM in Buddy Know and coach in Chan Gailey, after fishing for a big name coach in the offseason and subsequently being turned down like me asking girls to the prom. The Bills have yet to make a splash to lure their fans back in for another year of torture, which could mean the Bills drafting a sexy name like Dez Bryant or, God forbid, Tim Tebow. However, with the Bills switching to the 3-4 Defense, their refusal to draft a replacement for Jason Peters in last years draft and their starting Right Tackle retiring at the age of 26 to pursue a career in politics, there are much bigger holes to fill. It is more likely that the Bills will save going out on a limb until the second round.

I loved the pick up of Dwan Edwards this offseason, and paired with Kyle Williams the Bills will be able to put off drafting a nose tackle here and most likely draft a Left Tackle. With Okung, Bulaga and Campbell off the board, the Bills will turn to Trent Williams. Solid prospect at tackle who will undoubtably be a huge upgrade over Karl Malone's illegitimate son, and current starter, Demetrius Bell. Williams will also be the third Sooner to come off the board in the first nine picks, soooo... good for them.


10. Jacksonville Jaguars- Joe Haden CB, Florida

Since the days of Jimmy Smith and Keenan McCardell there has been a gaping hole at the Wide Receiver position. Dez Bryant obviously would fill this hole and then some. But, there is depth in this year's class of Wideouts, so it is likely that the Jags will wait until at least the second round to address the need. Plus, Jacksonville's major competition in the AFC South, the Indianapolis Colts, will be featuring a receiving corps featuring Reggie Wayne, Dallas Clark, Anthony Gonzalez, Austin Collie and Pierre Garcon this season. Sorry, Rashean Mathis and Tyron Brackenridge are not going to cut it. Joe Haden is by far the best cornerback in this draft and will walk in and start immediately.
