After a one-week holiday hiatus, the Early Mock has returned in full fervor, and this time without any trades. And without further ado...
(Note: Prospects with a * next to their name may or may not be entering the draft. Juniors who have declared do not have an asterisk next to their name.)
1 Detroit: Brady Quinn, QB, Notre Dame: Detroit still hasn’t shown any sign that they DON’T need a quarterback.
2 Oakland: Brian Brohm*, QB, Louisville: Brohm, if he declares, would be an ideal fit for the Raiders’ style of offense.
3 Cleveland: Troy Smith, QB, Ohio State: Whether or not Crennel leaves, the front office could be tempted to make the local prospect the next Browns quarterback of the future.
4 Tampa Bay: Calvin Johnson*, WR, Georgia Tech: The Buccaneers could opt for this elite WR prospect to eventually replace Joey Galloway.
5 Arizona: Joe Thomas, OT, Wisconsin: Thomas appears to be the obvious choice, as Arizona needs better linemen and Leonard Davis could be leaving after this year.
6 Houston: Adrian Peterson*, RB, Oklahoma: The Texans will not pass up another elite RB prospect.
7 Washington: Leon Hall, CB, Michigan: The Redskins need to fill a gaping hole in their secondary, and Hall could be the man to do it.
8 Minnesota: Darrelle Revis*, CB, Pittsburgh: The Vikings select a prospect who could end up filling Fred Smoot’s shoes.
9 San Francisco: Dwayne Jarrett*, WR, USC: Jarrett will add another target for emerging quarterback Alex Smith to throw to.
10 Miami: Alan Branch*, DT, Michigan: The Dolphins need a big run stuffer in the middle, and Branch is an excellent player who can develop into the position.
11 St. Louis: Paul Pozluszny, LB, Penn State: The Rams select the perennial linebacker as definite depth and a possible starter.
12 Atlanta: Laron Landry, FS, LSU: Landry could end up with the Falcons, as their defensive backfield could use considerable improvement.
13 Carolina: Reggie Nelson*, FS, Florida: The Panthers are another team that has a need at safety and Nelson could fill this hole.
14 Green Bay: Marshawn Lynch, RB, California: Lynch has declared for the draft and the Packers could use a good runningback to fill the aging shoes of Ahman Green.
15 Pittsburgh: Levi Brown, OT, Penn State: The Steelres could use depth and youth at the offensive line position, and Levi Brown would be the best pick here.
16 New York Giants: Amobi Okoye, DT, Louisville: Okoye has all the upside in the world and the Giants could use new blood at the defensive tackle position.
17 Buffalo: Justin Blalock, OT/OG, Texas: Blalock is the best lineman available and he could man any of Buffalo’s five offensive lineman spots.
18 New England (from Seattle): Patrick Willis, ILB, Ole Miss: This year’s Butkus Award winner could find a home with the Patriots, who need both depth and youth at the inside linebacker position.
19 Kansas City: Jeff Samardzija, WR, Notre Dame: Though Ted Ginn is arguably a better value at WR here, the Chiefs don’t need another Dante Hall.
20 Jacksonville: Gaines Adams, DE, Clemson: Somehow, someway, Adams falls all the way to the Jaguars, who could use an elite DE prospect to further improve their already excellent defensive line.
21 Cincinnati: Quinn Pit****, DT, Ohio State: The Bengals could use an eventual replacement for defensive lineman Sam Adams, who is tough but not getting any younger.
22 Tennessee: Quentin Moses, DE, Georgia: Moses makes the third defensive lineman chosen in a row as the Titans decide to select a defensive end who could help their rush on the outside.
23 Dallas: Tony Ugoh, OT, Arkansas: Ugoh has opened up huge holes all year for Darren McFadden and could do the same for Julius Jones and Marion Barber with the Cowboys.
24 New York Jets: Adam Carriker, DE, Nebraska: Carriker is a massive DE who could do fantastically at the 3-4 DE spot.
25 Philadelphia: Brandon Meriweather, FS, Miami: Meriweather could play either safety position for the Eagles, who could use depth at FS and a new starter at SS.
26 Denver: Robert Meacham*, WR, Tennessee: If Meacham declares, Denver could be looking for another elite prospect at WR to replace Rod Smith when he is all done.
27 New Orleans: Antoine Cason*, CB, Arizona: The Saint could use more capable cornerbacks to help improve their pass defense.
28 New England: Marcus McCauley, CB, Fresno State: So could the New England Patriots.
29 Indianapolis: Buster Davis*, LB, Florida State: Davis could help the Colts no matter what position he plays at linebacker.
30 Baltimore: JaMarcus Russell*, QB, LSU: The Ravens think that Russell could be an excellent quarterback for the future if he spends some time learning from one of the best: Steve McNair.
31 Chicago: Ryan Kalil, C, USC: Kalil joins the first-round fray to be groomed as the future replacement for Olin Kreutz.
32 San Diego: Ted Ginn*, WR, Ohio State: Ginn finishes off the first round as a new speed prospect for the San Diego Chargers at WR.
Big Risers: Troy Smith (+26), Dwayne Jarrett (+12), Marshawn Lynch (+10), Amobi Okoye (+10)
Big Fallers: JaMarcus Russell (-28), Ted Ginn (-16)
New On The Board: Adam Carriker, Brandon Meriweather, Robert Meacham, Marcus McCauley, Buster Davis, Ryan Kalil
Staying In School: Jake Long, Sam Baker
Off The Board: Michael Griffin, Turk McBride, Zach Miller, Brandon Siler, Lamarr Woodley
