2010 Mock - J2 Style

Ahhhh here we are two weeks before the draft and I figured i'd lay my Mock down for you all to see.  I'm only going to be doing the players from 1-9 because that's what I feel most comfortable with.  The difference between the Mocks that have been done and mine is that mine is more realistic.  I'm sorry if that sounds arrogant - but I'm positive that this is how it is going to play out.

I typically have some questionable calls in my mock - but that is because I do have some insider information that not everyone is privy too.

So without furthur ado - J2's for reals, realistic, gonna happen 2010 Mock Draft.   (after the jump of course)

1)  Rams

It's very unfortunate that the Rams have the same pressing need as the Bills.  They need a QB first and foremost.  No one since Peyton Manning has been said to have all the intangibles - it really is an easy choice and if I were the Bills I would certainly trade even next years first for him.

Bugs Bunny - He is widely know as the greatest college (cartoon) player (character) of all time. 

He is a leader and very sneak in the pocket.  As defenders hunt for him - he just mocks them and tells them after he gets hit even once that "This means war!". 

I won't get into college stats because that is widely known and they speak for themselves.  However, I will note that before the National Championship game winning TD pass in overtime - he actually told the other teams defense the play they were going to run - then said "That's all folks".  He then threw that beautiful over the shoulder TD pass and the rest is history.  IMO - Rams will be contending for 15 years with him at the helm.

2) Detroit 

The lions have some pressing needs.  I think the most pressing is tackle.  They would like to keep their prize investment of Stafford standing for a while. 

Foghorn Leghorn - Foghorn always gets under the rushers skin.  He's conniving and always has different tricks to pancake a defender.  He has great size, long arms and a beak that defenders fear. 

It's known that he was always bullying and teasing other people as he got older - something I hear he wants to continue as a pro.  He's a sure fire LT in this league - Stafford from what I hear has been trying to get his front office to sign him after he broke in his dog.

3) Tampa Bay Bucs

The Bucs are in great position here - there are many players they could take.  I think they are going to go defense and specifically defensive end.

Yosemite Sam - More of a hired gun than a draft pick - this guys demeanor and production says it all.  Teammates say he's grouchy, mean and plays with a sense of hatred at times.  All though - they say as far as a teammate - he's a straight shooter.

Rumor has it that Yosemite and Bugs were step-brothers growing up and Bugs tortured him to no end.  Now when he sees an opposing QB he visualizes the QB as Bugs - then all hell breaks loose. 

Since he's shorter than your normal defensive end - he actually gets around the edge very well and plays with amazing leveredge.  I for one am a little skeptical because of his size - but i'm not on the Lions scouting team so I have no input.

4) Washington

Cross QB off of the list - now they need someone to protect him - and no, Mike Williams isn't the answer at LT even though he was drafted as one (boo). 

Porky Pig - Widely known as the 2nd best LT prospect in the draft (Leghorn) - Pig will be an immediate starter for the 'Skins for the next 10-15 years. 

Porky didn't grade well on his wonderlic test and but he does have a speach impediment problem - but his athletic ability and size make up for that.  He isn't as tall as you would like him to be - but his arms measured at 36" at the combine and he did run a 4.8.

5) Kansas City

KC is in an unusual spot they could go d-line or o-line but there is one Safety that is just too good to pass up.

Marvin the Martian - Marvin the Martian has out of this world ball hawking skills - similar to one Byrd.  He is typically referred to as a shy or reserved guy but plays with a destructive demeanor.   He plays with a Roman Warriors' mentality and will be a staple of their defensive backfield for the next decade.  He is a solid, solid prospect and I wish he would have fallen to the Bills.

Growing up he always wore his helmet like Forrest Gump wore leg braces - some say that is the reason his vision is so spectacular.

6) Seattle

Seattle was probably the toughest pick that I had to make.  I'm not really sure how Carroll or Schneider will draft so here goes.

Wile E. Coyote (LB) - Now you see how this pick was so difficult.  Wile is a sure fire LB for Seattle.  I thought they might go Henery Hawk - but his lack of size is too big of an issue to pass up.

Coyote is what you would call a renegade player that does crazy insane things on the field.  I've heard reports that say he put a combustible liquid in his cleats that had a remote starter that would give him an extra boost when he was hunting down the ball carrier. 

No one can deny his passion and tenacity one the field.  He will be a Captain within 2/3 years if your asking me.  I know his wild behavior seems odd to some - but I like how he handles himself.  Even if it backfires from time to time.

7) Cleveland

Daffy Duck - When you need a QB that screams intangibles - you need Daffy Duck.  Duck is always, and I mean always, trying to one up Bugs Bunny because of Bunny's view in the media.  You cannot sell yourself short on Duck though - he's a firey competitor. 

Blessed with good size and great vision his anticipation is off the charts.  He's often telling the opponents after he scores that they are despicable.  You would think that this would give them more motivation but he's so saavy and relentless that he's tough to compete against. 

One issue is that he always seems to spit on people - his teammates know enough to just "get the news and not the weather" but his opponents aren't so wise and usually get upset even more.  He essentially tries to get the other team out of their comfort zone.

8) Oakland

After thiking that the Seattle pick was hard - I think this one was one of the easiest. 

Tasmanian Devil - See what I mean about easy selections?  Playing next to Richard Seymour will help him immensely as this NT is hellish to play against. 

His size, demeanor and attiude make him an ideal NT for the Raiders.  His spin move is elite and his speed for NT is amazing.  At the combine he spun 86 times in 3 seconds (which was obviously a combine record).

A pass rushing specialst as NT I'm surprised I had him so low - but he is the perfect fit here and will create havoc for any interior linemen he goes against.  Not to mention his run stuffing abilities - this guy has the size and attitude to anchor that defense.

9) Buffalo Bills

I will probably get a little slack for this pick - but I think it is solid.  Buffalo needs playmakers and since the top 2 QBs, top 2 OTs and top NT is off the board then Buffalo has to go with a special player. 

Road Runner (WR) - Buffalo needed to go BPA here and Road Runner is obviously on the top of most boards and kind of a shock that he got past Oakland.

What you get here is a guy with speed and great leaping ability.  His route running is tremendous and he anticipates so well in the open field.  Defenses try to throw everything and the acme kitchen sink at this guy but it never works. 

Blessed with natural speed he ran a .42 at the combine in the 40.  I thought he would run sub .4's but the field turf, IMO, hurt him there.

He has excellent start stop ability and his signature TD dance named the "Beep Beep" is one of the best if you haven't seen it (you will this season!!). 

I think more than anything I like his "in your face" attitude - we thought that T.O. would open up the field for Lee and our QB's - well I guarantee you this guy will open it up even more. 

Solid pick Nix - solid.

So there you have it - the 2010 draft.  When you watch the draft and are amazed at how closely I picked these guys don't forget that i've had years of watching these players so I have a good understanding of how they will do. 

Sorry for the length - but I assure you - That's all folks!
