Sam Farmer on the NFL: How the draft might shape up

NFL mock draft version 2.0 comes from newspaper writers who cover the teams.

April 12, 2010|Sam Farmer

23. Green Bay — CB Patrick Robinson, Florida State: (Bob McGinn, Milwaukee Journal Sentinel) " Al Harris is 35 and coming off reconstructive knee surgery; Charles Woodson is 33. Robinson fills a real need."

24. Philadelphia — CB Kyle Wilson, Boise State: (Jeff McLane, Philadelphia Inquirer) "With Sheldon Brown gone to Cleveland, the Eagles need a cornerback who can step right into the starting lineup."

25. Baltimore — DT Jared Odrick, Penn State: (Jamison Hensley, Baltimore Sun) "The Ravens need youth on the defensive line, and Odrick would fit right into their 3-4 scheme."

26. Arizona — DT Dan Williams, Tennessee: (Kent Somers, Arizona Republic) "The Cardinals have been searching for a 3-4 nose tackle ever since Ken Whisenhunt arrived. They need somebody who can hold the middle."

27. Dallas — T Charles Brown, USC: (Clarence Hill, Fort Worth Star-Telegram) "Without Flozell Adams, the Cowboys have a hole at the position. Brown not only fills an area of need, but he fits in that draft slot."

28. San Diego — RB Ryan Mathews, Fresno State: (Jay Paris, North County Times) "LaDainian Tomlinson is gone, and the Chargers have a void at running back. They'll hope to get Alabama DT Terrence Cody in the second."

29. New York Jets — DE Brandon Graham, Michigan: (Rich Cimini, New York Daily News) "One of the problems the Jets had on defense was they had to blitz a lot of guys to get pressure. They need a pass rusher."

30. Minnesota — CB Devin McCourty, Rutgers: (Judd Zulgad, Minneapolis Star Tribune) "Depth at corner is a problem for the Vikings, who have had health problems at the position. They really like McCourty."

31. Indianapolis — DT Brian Price, UCLA: (Mike Chappell, Indianapolis Star) "The Colts failed in their attempt to get better on the defensive line last offseason. The bid continues this year."

32. New Orleans — OLB Jerry Hughes, TCU: (Mike Triplett, New Orleans Times-Picayune) "Hughes might be a tweener for a 4-3 defense, but defensive coordinator Gregg Williams will find a way to fit him in."
