2010 NFL Mock Draft

2010 NFL Mock Draft

9. Buffalo Bills (6-10)

Jimmy Clausen (Notre Dame)

This draft couldn't work out any better for the Buffalo Bills, who desperately were in need of a franchise quarterback.  In Jimmy Clausen, they get just that.  Clausen, by far, has had the most experience in a pro-style offense, and instantly becomes no. 1 on the Bills depth chart.  With three years of experience in the pro-style offense, and a great quarterbacks coach, I feel Clausen may be the most NFL-ready of this years class.  With franchise quarterback out of the way, look for the Bills to next address a weak offensive line.  

Why he's good for the Bills:

Besides the obvious reasons stated above, the Bills are in desperate need of someone to get the ball to their play-maker WR Lee Evans.  The Bills' passing offense ranked 30th in the league in 2009, finishing with 157 yards per game through the air.  With Clausen, the Bills a great leader and great signal caller.

7. Cleveland Browns (5-11)

S Eric Berry (Tennessee)

With Eric Berry sitting at 7, Cleveland has no choice but to take arguably one of the most athletically gifted players in this draft.  As someone who commented earlier noted, the last safety to get drafted top 5 in the past 15 years was Sean Taylor, so don't look for him to go higher than here.  The Browns get to draft position of need, as well best player available, so it works out perfect for them.  Berry brings some athleticism and playmaking ability to a defensive secondary that surrendered 245 yards per game through the air, as well as over 389 total yards per game.  This was good for 29th and 31st in the league, respectively.  While linebacker is a position of need as well, and Rolando McClain is still on the board, this is a player the Browns won't pass on.

Why he's good for the Browns: 

Berry, as I said before, is clearly the best player available on the board still, and while Mike Holmgren has stated that they will draft a QB, he is not enamored by Notre Dame QB Jimmy Clausen, and will not draft one in the first few rounds. The Browns also have serious holes in their secondary, and Berry will become a solid contributor from day 1.

4. Washington Redskins(4-12)

OT Russell Okung (Oklahoma State)

This is another one of those picks that could go two different ways for the Redskins.  If it goes the way I believe is best, then the pick will be Russell Okung over Notre Dame QB Jimmy Clausen.  At 6'5 300 pounds, Okung is the prototypical size for left tackle in the NFL.  While rumors have been swirling around QB Jason Campbell, I believe that new Head Coach Mike Shanahan will continue to work with Campbell and help mold him into a serviceable QB.    

Why he's good for the Redskins:

Russell Okung is good enough to come into Washington and immediately replace LT Chris Samuels, who recently retired due to injury.  I don't fully believe that all of the offensive woes can be attributed to Jason Campbell, and that QB is not something that needs to be addressed with this pick.  If given a better offensive line, and also the offensive genius of Shanahan, look for this team to be a lot better this upcoming year.  

Redskins Evaluating Campbell

According to NFL.Fanhouse, Washington Redskins' GM Bruce Allen has begun evaluating his  own players closely, mainly QB Jason Campbell.  Campbell, who has been criticized for the lackluster offense that has become a standard, is the major deciding factor on which route the Redskins will take this March.  Sitting at the number 4 pick in the NFL Draft, Allen has stated that they will evaluate every snap that Campbell has taken before making a decision on whether or not to take a quarterback for the future.  

"The coaches have met with Jason and (new offensive coordinator Kyle Shanahan) has spoken to him," Allen told Fanhouse in an interview.  "But I know it sounds tedious and time consuming, but we want to look at every snap he's taken."

Suh to Participate in Combine, Clausen Will Not

Ndamukong Suh has informed his agent that he will be participating in all drills next week at the NFL Combine.  Even though most top draft prospects tend to decline the Combine in an attempt to keep their stock high, Suh says he is in the best shape of his life and that he wants to show it.  Most players go to the Combine to increase their stock, and this could turn out to be a bad move if he does not perform up to certain standards. Suh is already regarded as the number one prospect, followed by Oklahoma's Gerald McCoy.  A good performance by McCoy and a subpar one by Suh could quite possibly propel him above Suh as the number one overall pick in the draft.  Notre Dame QB Jimmy Clausen is recovering from surgery to repair a tendon in his right toe, according to ESPN.  He will travel to Indianapolis for the combine though, in order to talk to potential suitors.  Clausen is rated as one of the top 3 QBs in the draft, and should have no problem getting picked in the top 10, as there are a few teams that are in need of a franchise QB.
