2010 NFL Mock Draft

16. Tennessee Titans (8-8)

DE Carlos Dunlap (Florida)

With the most glaring holes found on the defensive line, the Tennessee Titans select Carlos Dunlap, who may possess some of the top potential in the draft.  Dunlap, who was a huge part of the Florida Gator defense, possesses the combination of size, speed, strength, and athleticism needed to be a dominant player in the NFL.  Due to  his physical tools, Dunlap was projected as a top 10 pick, but the Titans are happy that he's still there.  With DE Kyle Vanden Bosch leaving for the Detroit Lions this offseason, a huge void is created on a defensive line whose depth is very thin.   

Why he's good for the Titans:

Besides the glaring need of more playmakers on defense, Dunlap has such great potential that it is hard to pass up on this talent.  With good coaching and hard work, Dunlap has the chance to become the steal of the draft.  With such a porous pass defense, the ability to rush the passer becomes even more important to this team.  

Top NFL Draft Prospects

18. Carlos Dunlap, DE

Pittsburgh Steelers(9-7)

Although Pittsburgh needs help on their offensive line, a stud DE would be the best option here at 18.  Carlos Dunlap has all the traits needed to become a dominant player at the next level.  At 6'6 290 pounds, Dunlap fits perfect in a 3-4 scheme and has the ability to line up at any position on the defensive line.  He has a rare combination of size and speed that will be coveted by most teams in the draft.  He is stout against the run, as well as being a force against the pass.  He has a mixture of different pass rushing moves, and has the ability to beat tackles with his spin move.  He has great instincts and awareness, and has drawn comparisons to Houston Texans DE Mario Williams.  

Why he's good for the Steelers:

The Steelers need to get younger on the defensive line.  Brett Keisel will start the season at 32 years old and the best fit for their team is Dunlap.  With NT Casey Hampton perhaps being lost to free agency, this team's most important needs are DT and DE.  At this draft pick, I don't think there are any DTs that Pittsburgh will be interested in and therefore Dunlap is by far the best option here.

Carlos Dunlap suspended indefinitely

 According to my sources, Carlos Dunlap of the University of Florida football team, has been suspended indefinitely by Coach Urban Meyer following his early Monday morning DUI. Carlos was found stopped at a green light during the early morning hours asleep at the wheel by police. He was released after being held for over five hours.  Coach Urban stated that the news of his arrest was "stunning.". I feel horrible for Carlos. He's a great kid and great athlete and we will see how much his draft stock falls because of this incident. What is known is that this is a tremendous blow to the defensive line as they get set to face Alabama next week.
