I will take any of the ones left.
Go ahead and assign me the Bills. If someone else wants them (and I can't imagine anyone wanting THAT job), I'll give it up.

OP updated again. The board is all set. Please check to see which teams you will be picking for and start studying team needs.
It doesn't look like we're going to get any additional participants, so Danek is now on the clock. Let's get this thing started!

Man, that came around fast. Let's get this thing underway then.
With the first pick of the 2010 NFL Draft, the St Louis Rams select Sam Bradford, QB, Oklahoma.
Suh would have been a good pick, but QB is the most important position on the team, and after his pro day Bradford looks like he could be a franchise player.

I updated the OP with designations for every team, then I thought 'what's the sense in waiting until April 5th?'
With the 2nd pick, the Detroit Lions select [SIZE=-1]Ndamukong Suh, DT, Nebraska[/SIZE].
The Lions addressed their defensive line in free agency by trading for DT Corey Williams (from Cleveland) and signing Kyle VandenBosch to a 4 year, $24 million deal, but Coach Schwartz needs the defensive line to get pressure and lessen the burden on the secondary. Russell Okung is a possibility here, but a talent like Suh doesn't come around very often and the Lions are happy to select him here.
dataz722 is on the clock for the Bucs.

Since their D line is just horrendous....
With the 3rd pick, the Tampa Bay Buccaneers select Gerald McCoy, DT, Oklahoma.

u really went out a limb there dig dug....
Since Dan Snyder's known to be a tard, I was TEMPTED to make a HUGE leap and pull Tim Tebow, but luckily nobody's that stupid.
With the 4th Pick, the Redskins selects Russell Okung, OT, Oklahoma State

wow... passing on claussen?
the best player available fills a need.....

Yes. Passing on Claussen. Had Bradford slipped down, he would have been the logical choice, however there's an option for a later round QB pick that is still better than what they have.
The 'skins have drafted offensive lineman in the first before, and that's who they need to replace right away.

I thought about just making that pick for you, since we all knew what it was going to be.
Good selection. The Bucs need some help in the trenches and McCoy is a blue chip prospect.

Solid picks in Okung and Berry. I think that Berry is worth a top 5 pick, but I just can't see Scott Pioli investing that pick in a safety (he's publicly said that he doesn't think that the safety position is worth a top 5 pick), but Berry may be too talented to pass up. Other options include reaching for a guy like Dan Williams or one of the other top OT's available like Bryan Baluga or Trent Williams.
neko is on the clock for the Seahawks.

I thought about baluga.... but EVERY mock draft ive seen has berry going there... so who knows!

Anyone seen this blog, written by a former scout for the Ravens? He's got Clausen slipping out of the first round entirely. Taylor Mays too.

I hadn't seen that blog before. If Clausen makes it to the 20's, I would be very surprised if someone like Buffalo didn't come back up to get him.
I actually have Taylor Mays falling to the Lions at 34 in my mock.
Another surprise in this guy's mock is Mike Iupati falling out of the 1st. Some of what he says makes sense, some of it doesn't.
The team with the best RB in the game is investing a 1st round pick on another RB?
A 4 player run on CB's is possible, but I'm not so sure about the guys that he has penciled in there. Either way, it's certainly an interesting perspective.
Minny might be worried about petersons incredible talent... at fumbling!
Crap, you guys are going fast; have to start researching tonight!
Don't see Minny taking a RB; didn't they just let Chester Taylor walk to the Bears? AP fumbles too much, but you aren't sitting him down.

Whos AP's backup? In this league you pretty much need two good runningbacks especially given the high injury level at that position.
Would not be surprised if they took a RB if they felt it was a value.
Same with QB. And we still don;t know about Farve.
Craig
Well, I'm not saying you draft a punter instead of a RB, but I have a hard time seeing that they view the backup RB spot as a priority, especially since AP's still so young. So much depends on who's available at the time, of course.
May not be the top priority but they are essentially picking top of the second round. Prices at that spot are not ridiculous and a team has more flexibility. Will they pick a RB first round? Probably not, but if they feel a Best or Matthews is better than #30 and available its a possibility.
Craig
Right now, the only major 'hole' is QB - pending Favre's return or a trade for McNabb or someone else. I wouldn't see wasting a 1st round pick and 1st round money on a RB when they do have other (smaller) needs.

I wouldn't be surprised to see the Vikings use their 1st on a DT. If someone like Odrick or Price is still there when they're on the clock it would be hard for them to pass up. Pat Williams can't play forever, and a dominant DT combo is what drives their defense.
They can pick up a back like Hardesty, Gerhart, Tate or possibly even Dwyer in the 2nd if they *must* get a backup.
One other thing that I wanted to mention is that I'd actually be pretty surprised if the Redskins don't take Clausen at 4. Remember a few years back when Jake Plummer was only 2 years into his 4 or 5 year deal and coming off of a very good season? Shanahan took Cutler. Just sayin'...
So who do you guys think that the Raiders will reach for this year? My guess is Jason Pierre-Paul - a TON of athletic ability and potential, without the production to merit being selected that high.

Seattle needs to fill a lot of holes, or make them for Jones and their crappy running game, so I'm taking OT Trent Williams from Oklahoma. Sorry for lagging, I didn't realize we were starting already, but I'll be better from now on.

I've read that they're getting lots of interest from other teams about their pick, so I wouldn't rule out them trading down and reaching for a lesser player. If Dez Bryant was a little faster I'd think he'd be a good fit for this year's reach. He seems to have the necessary character requirements.
The Clowns ... sorry Cleveland Browns will select Joe Haden CB with their first round pick.
They have very little depth at this position and it was probably the biggest weekness on the defense. I strongly considered taking Clausen with this pick as QB is still very up in the air with the team. But they already have the QB from Notre Dame whose records Clausen did not break. Not sure if coaches and management believes Quinn is the future but I don't think Clausen would be a significant enough upgrade.
