Because there's always room for one more mock draft.
| 1. | Miami | Chris Long, DE. And by "Chris" we mean "Jake." |
| 2. | St. Louis | Jake Long, OT. Unless Scott Linehan has a time machine, this probably won't happen. |
| 3. | Atlanta |
Glenn Dorsey, DT. One of the unintentional benefits of winning just three games is that no matter who you draft, they'll make the team better. |
| 4. | Oakland |
Darren McFadden, RB. Common sense suggests that the Raiders have greater needs. This is why McFadden will be the pick. |
| 5. | Kansas City |
Ryan Clady, OT. The Chiefs currently hold 13 picks and have roughly twice as many holes to fill. Addressing the o-line is a good start. |
| 6. | New York Jets |
Vernon Gholston, DE/LB. From FanHouse's Josh Alper: "... there's no one who makes as much sense given the Jets needs. That includes Matt Ryan, if you're wondering." |
| 7. | New England |
Keith Rivers, LB. The obvious pick here is quarterback. Preferably one who cares about winning. |
| 8. | Baltimore |
Matt Ryan, QB. I'm guessing this means that the Ravens don't expect Kyle Boller to ever mature into a competent NFL quarterback. Weird. |
| 9. | Cincinnati |
Sedrick Ellis, DT. Let's just say Kirk Herbstreit does not approve of this pick. |
| 10. | New Orleans |
Dominique Rodgers-Cromartie, CB. So, does this mean the Fred Thomas era is officially over? Didn't see that coming. |
| 11. | Buffalo |
Limas Sweed, WR. Sweed is 6-5, which means J.P. Losman will only overthrow him by two feet. |
| 12. | Denver |
Chris Williams, OT. Fun fact: one of Williams' arms is longer than the other. |
| 13. | Carolina |
Derrick Harvey, DE. FanHouse's David Warner: "... Carolina finished last season with a dismal 23 sacks -- 31st in the league ... Julius Peppers disappeared in 2007 and is in the final year of his contract." |
| 14. | Chicago |
Jeff Otah, OT. Apparently, heading into the season with just three offensive linemen is a bad thing. Good news: it's not nearly as bad as heading into the season without a quarterback or wide receivers. |
| 15. | Detroit |
Branden Albert, OG/OT. This pick makes too much sense, which is why Matt Millen will draft Rashard Mendenhall and move him to wideout. |
| 16. | Arizona |
Rashard Mendenhall, RB. Edgerrin James and his 3.0 yards-per-carry weren't getting it done, I guess. |
| 17. | Minnesota |
Phillip Merling, DE. The Vikings will promptly trade this pick -- along with two others -- to the Chiefs for Jared Allen. Count on it. |
| 18. | Houston |
Leodis McKelvin, CB. Join FanHouse's Stephanie Stradley as she outlines why the Texans need secondary help. |
| 19. | Philadelphia |
James Hardy, WR. Sure, o-line is a need, but as FanHouse's Enrico Campitelli points out, "Kevin Curtis and Reggie Brown are the clear number first two receivers on this team but after that you're left with a bunch of Jason Avants." |
| 20. | Tampa Bay |
Mike Jenkins, CB. You know why this pick makes sense? Because Jon Gruden said so. |
| 21. | Washington |
Malcolm Kelly, WR. Vinny Cerrato says the team is looking for character guys. I'd say Kelly's a character. (/geriatric humor) |
| 22. | Dallas |
Felix Jones, RB. Hey, did you hear the Cowboys traded for Pacman? Shocking, right? |
| 23. | Pittsburgh |
Brandon Flowers, CB. FanHouse's J.J. Cooper explains this pick: "Pittsburgh needs guard and left tackle help more than anything. And of course, with pick No. 23, they'll probably find themselves without any good options left at either of those two spots." |
| 24. | Tennessee |
Devin Thomas, WR. The Titans could also trade up and take Matt Ryan. You know, so there will be somebody on the team that can throw Thomas the ball. |
| 25. | Seattle |
Jonathan Stewart, RB. And Shaun Alexander is officially (gone and) forgotten. |
| 26. |
Jacksonville |
Kentwan Balmer, DT. More fun facts: at 6-5, 310, Balmer is a foot taller and 20 pounds lighter than David Garrard. |
| 27. | San Diego |
Gosder Cherilus, OT. Cherilus is the punchline to the question: who does a team with very few needs take late in the first round? |
| 28. | Dallas | Aqib Talib, CB. Insurance, no doubt, in case Mr. Pacman isn't reinstated. Worst case: Talib and Jones can share a duby and a lap dance. |
| 29. | San Francisco |
Quentin Groves, OLB. This hopefully makes up for the Manny Lawson pick. |
| 30. | Green Bay |
Antoine Cason, CB. Because Al Harris and Charles Woodson are a combined 64 years old, that's why. |
| 31. | New England |
Matt Walsh. (Too obvious?) |
| 32. | New York Giants |
Kenny Phillips, S. Huh. I thought James Butler was the long-term answer in New York. |

cian,
I think that would make the Packers' CBs a combined 164. Thanks. Fixed.
