NFL Mock Draft -- Part 3

One last mock draft. That is, one final mock before my official mock comes out right before the April 28-29 NFL Draft. 1. Oakland Raiders: JaMarcus Russell, QB, LSU Calvin Johnson might be the best overall prospect in the Draft but the Raiders are desperate for a quarterback and adding Johnson to the duo of Randy Moss and Jerry Porter makes no sense without a quarterback. 2. Detroit Lions: Joe Thomas, OT, Wisconsin The Lions need a quarterback but the bad memories of Joey Harrington's failure in Detroit makes Matt Millen go for the highest rated offensive lineman in the Draft. 3. Cleveland Browns: Brady Quinn, QB, Notre Dame The Browns have not had a dependable signal caller since they returned to the NFL. Romeo Crennel will be comfortable placing his future as a head coach in the hands of Quinn, who was coached by his former colleague with the Patriots, Charlie Weis. 4. Tampa Bay Buccaneers: Calvin Johnson, WR, Georgia Tech Tampa Bay doesn't necessarily need a top flight wide receiver but with so many quarterbacks on the roster, Gruden will give them as many weapons as possible to throw to. 5. Arizona Cardinals: Levi Brown, OT, Penn State The Cardinals are getting better but they need help on the line. They would love Joe Thomas but will be happy to settle for Brown. 6. Washington Redskins: Gaines Adams, DE, Clemson The Redskins only had 19 sacks as a team in 2006. Adams is capable of double digits in sacks on his own. 7. Minnesota Vikings: Adrian Peterson, RB, Oklahoma The Vikings will gladly take a potential All-Pro running back. 8. Atlanta Falcons: Amobi Okoye, DT, Louisville New coach Bobby Petrino has coached Okoye for four years and is well aware of the long term potential of the 19-year-old tackle. 9. Miami Dolphins: LaRon Landry, S, LSU The Dolphin secondary is getting older and Landry is a player capable of covering and tackling. 10. Houston Texans: Alan Branch, DT, Michigan A year after taking Mario Williams No. 1 overall to play defensive end, Houston grabs Branch to handle their interior defense. 11. San Francisco 49ers: Jamaal Anderson, DE, Arkansas After spending so much money on cornerback Nate Clements in free agency, the 49ers add a pass rusher to further build their defense. 12. Buffalo Bills: Leon Hall, CB, Michigan The Bills lost Clements to the 49ers so they need to replace him in their secondary. 13. St. Louis Rams: Paul Posluszny, LB, Penn State The Rams need help at linebacker and Posluszny can play inside or outside. 14. Carolina Panthers: Patrick Willis, LB, Ole Miss With Dan Morgan's long term health a huge question mark, Willis can step in and play right away. 15. Pittsburgh Steelers: Adam Carriker, DE, Nebraska The Steelers are moving from a 3-4 to a 4-3 defense under new coach Mike Tomlin and Carriker is an end who can play the run and get after the passer. 16. Green Bay Packers: Marshawn Lynch, RB, California Lynch is a great fit for the Packers and Brett Favre. 17. Jacksonville Jaguars: Ted Ginn Jr., WR, Ohio State Byron Leftwich and David Garrard will both be happy to see the Jags acquire the explosive Ginn. The question is, who will be throwing to him? 18. Cincinnati Bengals: Jarvis Moss, DE/OLB, Florida Moss is a multi-dimensional player who can get after the passer. 19. Tennessee Titans: Dwayne Jarrett, WR, USC Everyone believes the Titans will take a wide receiver to complement Vince Young. I say they take Jarrett because of his history of success in offensive coordinator Norm Chow's system. 20. New York Giants: Lawrence Timmons, LB, Florida State The Giants were using street free agents at linebacker by November so they certainly need an upgrade. 21. Denver Broncos: Greg Olsen, TE, Miami, FL Olsen has been a star during workouts. They have their future invested in Jay Cutler and a weapon like Olsen will help his development. 22. Dallas Cowboys: Robert Meachem, WR, Tennessee Terrell Owens is always one mistake away from free agency and Terry Glenn isn't getting younger. 23. Kansas City Chiefs: Aaron Ross, CB/S, Texas Ross adds depth to the Chiefs secondary and will be groomed to replace Ty Law in the immediate future. 24. New England Patriots: Darrelle Revis, CB, Pittsburgh Now that Asante Samuel is talking about demanding a trade unless the Pats give him the contract he wants, corner is now a priority for New England. 25. New York Jets: Jon Beason, LB, Miami, FL Beason is another important piece as Eric Mangini continues to remake the Jets. 26. Philadelphia Eagles: Michael Griffin, S, Texas The Eagles have to replace departed safety Michael Lewis and the versatile, hard hitting Griffin will fit in with Philly. 27. New Orleans Saints: Dwayne Bowe, WR, LSU The Saints released Joe Horn and need depth at wide receiver. Being a product of LSU is a bonus as the city of New Orleans continues to rebuild. 28. New England Patriots: Reggie Nelson, S, Florida Rodney Harrison is nearing the end and Eugene Wilson can't seem to stay healthy. Nelson will help take away the middle of the field. 29. Baltimore Ravens: Chris Houston, CB, Arkansas The Baltimore defense puts a lot of pressure on opponents through the blitz and therefore, they need good cover corners. 30. San Diego Chargers: Anthony Gonzalez, WR, Ohio State The Chargers need to get younger at wide receiver. 31. Chicago Bears: Justin Harrell, DT, Tennessee The Bears need help everywhere after the losses they have suffered after losing in the Super Bowl. They could move up with a trade of disgruntled LB Lance Briggs but if they stay at 31, Harrell would be a good choice to add to their interior defensive line. 32. Indinapolis Colts: Anthony Spencer, DE, Purdue Strapped for cash and losing impact players, the defending champs look to upgrade their defensive front.
