NFL Draft Thoughts

As the draft is upon us, I must share with you my thoughts on the NFL Draft. I will give you some thoughts on the Browns, Big Ben, and some other players/teams of interest and I will mock the top 10 picks for tonights draft. But what makes the draft good for TV is that nobody knows what will happen. As much as Mel Kiper pretends to know, he really has no idea what teams will do usually after pick 3. So before you come back and grade my top ten picks, ask yourself did anybody know?

The Browns: I believe the Browns will not target 1 of the QBs in this years draft. They just cant do it. It would cost too much to get Sam Bradford and the town would run Holmgren out of town if he got rid of Brady Quinn if only to bring in Jimmy Clausen. I do believe the Browns are targeting Eric Berry or Earl Thomas, 2 stud safeties. I do not think it is out of the question for the Browns to trade up to take Eric Berry at pick 4 with Washington. It is not out of the question the Browns take CJ Spiller at #7. He is a game breaker, but considering the Browns needs, I do not think it will happen.

Big Ben: Look the guy seems toxic right now, but when he wins some games come October and November everyone will love him again. What he did was beyond disgusting, but NFL teams are only interested in winning games. Therefore, it is nonsense that the Steelers are even thinking about trading Roethlisberger. I will be the 1st person to say that the Steelers organizational structure won those Super Bowl titles, but you can only trade players that are replaceable and franchise QBs are a rare breed. Big Ben stays in Pittsburgh.

Random draft thoughts:
Jimmy Clausen - the guy should not be drafted high. He has a strong arm, but everything else just doesnt seem to be there.
Tim Tebow - Gruden loves him, therefore I must love him. That being said I think all the changes Tebow has made are fine during practice but once the real thing starts and NFL defenders are coming at him I believe he will revert back to his old form which is not a typical NFL delivery. He will work hard and be great in whatever community takes him, but I do not think he will be a great NFL QB.
Dez Bryant - what exactly did this guy do to be falling on NFL draft boards? He became friends with Deon Sanders. Why is that a crime? I personally dont understand why the NCAA suspended him. If the guy is a home run threat why not take him? It makes no sense to me. That being said I dont want the Browns to take him, go Defense Holmgren PLEASE!
Offensive Tackles - Trent Williams, Russel Okong, Anthony Davis, and Bryan Bulaga could go in the top 10. This could have teams trading up and down in the top 10 which will make for excitement.
Defensive Tackles - typically not a glam position, but this will feature picks 2 and 3 in the draft. Both should be studs.

TOP 10 Mock:
1. Bradford, QB, Oklahoma
2. Suh, DT, Nebraska
3. McCoy, DT, Oklahoma
4. Berry, DB, Tennessee (Washington trade down?? Cleveland trade up??)
5. Okung, OT, Oklahoma St
6. Spiller, RB, Clemson
7. Morgan, DE, Georgia Tech
8. Bryant, WR, Oklahoma St
9. Williams, OT, Oklahoma
10. Thomas, DB, Texas

very heavy on prospects from the state of Oklahoma. Lets watch the drama unfold.
