After considering comments and more reading and watching some film, I have update my mock. I change maybe about 1/4 of the picks. Let me know what you think.

Wow! This is the first time I have ever tried two rounds and it is extremely difficult! What do you think?

This is my first go at a mock draft this year. It took me a while to wade through all the defensive linemen, but maybe I am close. For full disclosure, I am a Colts fan - it may have affected my mock. Be brutal on the mock, but not too brutal on me.

Before I post my mock for the contest, I wanted to play around a little and see what the draft would look like if we threw the BPA out the window. Expect reaches in this mock. I will have the teams picking their biggest needs (i.e. the two or three most glaring holes). I will list position first, followed by the player. Like I said, this is not what I think will happen, this is just for fun.

1. Rams - QB - Jimmy Clausen - Between Clausen and Bradford, Clausen in more ready for the NFL. Plus, Bradford just seems as if he is an injury waiting to happen.

2. Lions - LT - Russell Okung - sure their D stinks, but this may be the biggest hole on the whole team!

3. Bucs - S - Eric Berry - I actually wish they would make this pick for real. I know everyone says it is too early for a S, but think about the impact Ed Reed, Troy Polamalu, Darron Sharper (last year), and Bob Sanders (when he can play) have on games!

4. Redskins - LT - Bryan Bulaga - their biggest need is actually to get rid of Haynesworth's rediculous contract.

5. Chiefs - S - Earl Thomas - this team has so many holes, but Thomas might be the least stretch...

6. Seahawks - RB - CJ Spiller - oh for the days of Shaun Alexander!

7. Browns - QB - Sam Bradford - Can Bradford make this team competitive?

8. Raiders - DT - Kong Suh - Could Al Davis mess up this opportunity?

9. Bills - OT - Trent Williams - Keep one of those QBs on their feet and maybe they could throw the ball

10. Jags - DT - Gerald McCoy - This could help their pass rush

11. Broncos - NT - Dan Williams - with Jamal Williams, they will pass on Dan but they shouldn't

12. Dolphins - NT - Terrance Cody - I said to expect a reach, but the Dolphins really need a NT

13. 49ers - CB - Joe Haden - finally an actual possible pick

14. Seahawks - DE - Derrick Morgan - the Seahawks need a couple more first round picks to fill all of their holes

15. Giants - MLB - Rolando McClain - actual pick?

16. Titans - DE - Everson Griffen - Kindle is an option

17. 49ers - QB - Colt McCoy - Another year of Alex Smith?

18. Steelers - WR - Dez Bryant - Holmes is gone, fill his spot. CB could go here

19. Falcons - LB - Sergio Kindle - could be a really good pick for Atlanta

20. Texans - CB - Kyle Wilson - an actual pick?

21. Bengals - S - Taylor Mays - the Bengals love those USC guys

22. Patriots - OLB - Jason Pierre Paul - Maybe Bill could make sure JPP doesn't bust

23. Packers - CB - Devin McCourty - How old are Harris and Woodson?

24. Eagles - LB - Sean Weatherspoon - they need help on all three levels of D

25. Ravens - CB - Patrick Robinson - same boat as the Eagles

26. Cardinals - TE - Jermaine Gresham - an actual pick?

27. Cowboys - OT - Anthony Davis - Maybe they should go WR here

28. Chargers - RB - Ryan Matthews - so long LT

29. Jets - DLine - Jared Odrick - This is a scary team, Odrick keeps them scary longer

30. Vikings - CB - Kareem Jackson - big time need

31. Colts - LT - Charles Brown - convenient?!?!

32. Saints - OLB - Daryl Washington - could go OLine, S, or DLine


Biggest reach: Terrance Cody and/or Colt McCoy

Biggest drop: Where Iupati?

Biggest surprise: Suh at #8

Team that needs the most first round picks: Chiefs and/or Browns

Like many of the SB team sites, we at Stampede Blue are conducting a community mock draft and I selected the Ravens as the team I would like to represent in the draft. Let me say first that your GM is a freakin' genius! Boldin  (and a 5th) for a 3rd and 4th? WOW!!! Jerry Jones must be throwing up somewhere!

There are ten picks left until I select for the Ravens and I wanted some good Raven-fan info...

So you have addressed your biggest need with a big aquisition! Boldin will be huge! And you re-signed Mason.

You recently signed Redding, who, I assume, will play at DE. And that does help your DL.

This is what I see as needs (and please comment and correct me where I may be wrong): These are in no particular order.

1. Cornerback - you are covered at safety until Reed hangs it up. But CB has been a problem since McCalister lost a his speed and was released.

2. DLine - Redding, Pryce, and Greg are getting up there. Replacements should be found soon to learn from these guys.

3. LB - Lewis is 85, but still plays like he is 30. He can't play forever. I would imagine this is a depth situation here. Get a couple of guys to back up Lewis and Suggs!

4. OLine - With Gaither (who I wish Polian would have gone after), Oher and company you seem set.

5. QB - DUH!

6. RB - DUH!

7. WR - Depth would not hurt

8. TE - I like Heap, but he never seemed to break into the next level (too many injuries?)

So I am thinking this draft should go after CB, DL, and TE.

With the first pick I am thinking about Kyle Wilson, Devin McCourty, Jermain Gresham, or Carlos Dunlap.

With the second pick (obviously depending on the first) I am thinking Aaron Hernandez, Kareem Jackson, Parrish Cox, Geno Atkins, or Cam Thomas.

I am including a poll for those who don't care to comment. Thanks again. And Congrats on a great off-season!
