Now for the Real Draft

The real NFL Draft is sponsored by Club MTV starring "Downtown" Julie Brown

1) Carolina -- Cameron Newton, QB, Auburn.
Not much of a shocker there. Right away Jimmy Clausen tweeted a congratulations message to Newton and called dibs on the bench between the 30 and 40 yard-line.

2) Denver --Von Miller, LB, Texas A&M
The Broncos definitely needed a boost on defense and apparently Miller is the most athletic specimen (cough..Gholston..cough) in the draft not named Cam Newton or Patrick Peterson.

3) Buffalo -- Marcus Dareus, DT/DL, Alabama
I must admit I got like man crush x 10 on this guy. He reminds me of Reggie White but bigger and without the cool, raspy voice. I miss Reggie White.

4) Cincinnati -- A.J. Green, WR, Georgia
I like this pick for the Bengals. Even though Carson Palmer isn't coming back the Bengals didn't reach for Blaine Gabbert. They can get a quarterback in Round 2.

5) Arizona --Patrick Peterson, DB, LSU
Well Gabbert has officially slipped a little. If he doesn't stop at San Francisco things could get interesting. Meanwhile, I've known Patrick since he was a junior in high school, he's always been a stand out performer and he helps the Cardinals right away.

6) Atlanta (from Cleveland) -- Julio Jones, WR, Alabama
Player and team hit the jackpot. Julio was looking at a life in Cleveland or catching "passes" from Alex Smith, instead he goes to Atlanta -- a short trip up from his home in Foley, Alabama -- and inserts himself on a playoff team. Ladies and Gentlemen, the real winner of the draft.

Now the parameters of the trade have the Falcons flipping first round picks with Cleveland and giving Cleveland at second and fourth this year...AND a first and fourth next year. That was a Super Bowl or bust trade.

7) San Francisco -- Aldon Smith, DE, Missouri
If you selected Smith as the first Mizzou Tiger to be taken in this draft, YOU are a winner. Meanwhile Ces, Corey and Mike sit back smiling as we predicted the Gabbert flop.

8) Tennessee -- Jake Locker, QB, Washington (!!)
Oh snap! Tennessee was like ... "We need a quarterback" and Blaine Gabbert is like "Hey, pick me" and Tennessee was like "Who are you?". Damn Blaine, did you fail a drug test or something?

9) Dallas -- Tyron Smith, OT, USC
With a potential game changer like Nick Fairley on the board I must admit this pick is a bit of a shocker. It's the smart pick but not necessarily the pick I'd expect from the Cowboys. However, the Cowboys run a 3-4 and that doesn't fit Fairley.

10) Jacksonville (from Washington) -- Blaine Gabbert, QB, Missouri
Hmm, so the Jags could have traded up for Tim Tebow last year and printed money based on the anticipated jersey sales but they wait a year and trade up for Gabbert. Ladies and Gentlemen these are your Los Angeles Jaguars!

Washington flops first-round picks with Jacksonville and takes their second.

11) Houston -- J.J. Watt, DE, Wisconsin
Houston needed improvements on defense. Watt and Mario Williams could be pretty good together.

12) Minnesota --Christian Ponder, QB, Florida State
Hmmm interesting, so Minnesota drafts a guy they probably could have gotten 15 spots lower. That being said I like Ponder when he's healthy. Very smart kid, got his undergraduate degree before he stepped on the field, got his MBA by the time he was a senior.

13) Detroit -- Nick Fairley, DT, Auburn
You strengthen your strengths! That's how the Patriots won three Super Bowls and have remained near the top of the league. The Lions made their best unit even better without moving an inch.

14) St. Louis -- Robert Quinn, DE, North Carolina
Tough situation for the Rams as they desperately wanted to get into a spot to get Julio Jones. But they sit back and get a heck of a player, maybe the best natural defensive end in the draft. Steve Spagnolo should be happy.

15) Miami -- Mike Pouncey, OG/OC, Florida
Well they need a quarterback, any quarterback, and there are just none left because you know Andy Dalton is a goner by the time they get to the second round. Pouncey was the best player available at a need position.

16) Washington (from Jacksonville) --Ryan Kerrigan, DE, Purdue
No problems here, it was a good solid pick for a good solid player. Not to figure out the quarterback problems or give the ball to Rex "Gulp" Grossman.

17) New England --Nate Solder, OT, Colorado
Tom Brady is getting older and he's already soft. Gizele approves of this pick.

18) San Diego -- Corey Liuget, DT, Illinois
My man! This doesn't fit San Diego's scheme but he was the best player on the board and sometimes that's all that matters.

19) N.Y. Giants -- Prince Amukamara, CB, Nebraska
Another draft-day slider, and not the good kind...like a crab cake slider, but the Prince fills a need for the Jints as it seems like they ALWAYS need an upgrade in the secondary. You happy with this pick Cesar?

20) Tampa Bay --Adrian Clayborn, DE, Iowa
Not a sexy pick but one that makes sense. The Bucs were awful in their pass rush last year, this guy rushes the passer, I think we've got a connection! :) Da'Quan Bowers, if you're listening, don't jump.

21) Cleveland (from Kansas City) --Phil Taylor, DT, Baylor
Taylor from Baylor. That's a big dude that can eat up a lot of space and a lot of....whatever food Cleveland is known for? Pirogies? Chili?

22) Indianapolis --Anthony Castonzo, OT, Boston College
Because the Colts need 4-5 more years of Peyton Manning.

23) Philadelphia --Danny Watkins, OG, Baylor
How are more players from Baylor getting picked in the first round than the "U"?

24) New Orleans -- Cameron Jordan, DE, California
Even with Mark Ingram out there you can't have enough quality defensive linemen! With Will "The Fresh Prince" Smith missing four games to suspension to start the season, Jordan will have to come in and make noise early.

25) Seattle --  James Carpenter, OG, Alabama
Hmm, we missed on this one guys, but Alabama offensive lineman, he can't be too bad.

26) Kansas City (from Atlanta, from Cleveland via way of Baltimore slipping) --Jonathan Baldwin, WR, Pittsburgh
Yeah I'll try to figure out what happened in a second. In the mean time Baldwin gives the Chiefs another weapon, I thought they would go wide receiver in the next round but if you need a player, you need a player.

27) Baltimore (via pass) -- Jimmy Smith, CB, Colorado
Top 12 quality pick but he is a knucklehead. However, it's tough to be a knucklehead with Ray Lewis giving you the death stare.

28) New Orleans (from New England) -- Mark Ingram, RB, Alabama
We got this one right kids, just a few spots down. Saints trade their 2012 first-round pick to New England. It's great that the Patriots stockpile picks...to trade them again the following year.

29) Chicago --Rich Carimi, OT, Wisconsin
Nice job Bears, another offensive lineman means there's less chance of Jay Cutler quitting during the NFC Championship Game.

30) N.Y. Jets --Muhammad Wilkerson, DT, Temple
OH HELL YEAH!! I love this guy, he just looks like a killer, and Rex Ryan said he's got Haloti Ngata sort of talent. Welcome home Muhammad!

31) Pittsburgh -- Cameron Heyward, DE, Ohio State
Tough kid for a tough town. I think this is a great match.

32) Green Bay --Derek Sherrod, OT, Mississppi State
Another good pick because the offensive line held strong for Aaron Rodgers late, but they held on by a thread.

Picks #61-64

The final four picks of the CMC Mock Draft for 2012 are sponsored by this breakfast skillet meal.

It's got eggs and sausage and peppers. Yummy

61) San Diego -- Randall "Not Tex" Cobb

The Chargers are another team that needs to re-tool the offense a little bit and Cobb could be a return guy right away. Former H.S. QB has a skill set similar to Brad Smith.

62) Chicago -- Allen Bailey, DL, Miami

In the world of Lovie Smith and Rod Marinelli you can have too many defensive linemen and a guy like Bailey is valuable because you could play him inside or outside.

63) Pittsburgh -- Daniel Thomas, RB, Kansas State

The Steelers won't admit it but they aren't as happy with Rashard Mendenhall as they thought they would be. That fumble in the Super Bowl didn't help.

64) Green Bay -- Demarcus Van Dyke, CB, Miami

Charles Woodson isn't getting younger and you have to think that Sam Shields will get the hell out of Green Bay when he gets the chance. So DVD brings some much needed depth and speed.

Picks #57-#60

Picks #57 - #60 Sponsored by Brut

#57 Seattle -- Christian Ballard DE Iowa -- Ballard is a big bad dude that's a step slow to be an elite draft pick. He'll be a good rotational DE for the Seahawks

#58 Baltimore -- Ras-I Dowling CB Virginia -- One of the best names in the draft. He fits an area that Baltimore is targeting. Dowling is one of the top 2nd tier DB prospects on the board.

#59 Atlanta -- Johnny Patrick CB Louisville -- The run on CB's continues. Patrick is one of a number of options for mid level secondary prospects.

#60 New England -- Steve Wisniewski C Penn St. -- The top Center in the draft to add to one of the to top Guards in this draft previously. The rich get richer. Wisniewski projects to be a 10 year starter at C but can play G if necessary.

No. 53-56

The next four picks in the CMC Mock Draft are sponsored by 2006 power couple David Gest and Da Brat.

53) Indianapolis -- Quan Sturdivant, LB, North Carolina

North Carolina linebackers go back-to-back which tells you what kind of team Butch Davis could have had if everyone played.

54) Philadelphia -- Rodney Hudson, OL, Florida State

The best offensive lineman in the ACC over the past three seasons will be asked to help protect one of the NFL's most valuable commodities.

55) Kansas City -- Leonard Hankerson, WR, Miami

Past Dwayne Bowe there just wasn't much going on for the Chiefs receivers and Hankerson is a nice addition on the other side. Solid route runner and pass catcher.

56) New Orleans -- Jah Reid, OL, UCF
Reid, a Polk County product (Haines City) and a big guy, should help continue to bolster a strength for the Saints. Reid could play any one of four positions on the line.

#49 - 52

Sponsored by this illustration of what to do when you are about to be mauled by pitbulls, wolves, or stalkers. Stick your hand out like this and you can pacify the oncoming beast - guaranteed.



#49 Jacksonville -- Titus Young, WR, Boise St

Garrard gets a poor man's Desean Jackson. Young is a dynamic WR who can add a plethora of plays to the JAX playbook. Think what Dexter McCluster meant to KC in regards to all-around utility play and that's what Young's value can provide.

#50 San Diego -- Ben Ijalana, OT, Villanova

Think of the Jets 2010 2nd round pick Vladimir Ducasse and this is the 2011 version of a small school Tackle getting picked so high. Arguably so, Ijalana is a 1st round talent who goes 2nd b/c no one knows Villanova football.

#51 Tampa Bay -- Martez Wilson, ILB, Illinois

Ok, so we know TB was 2nd to last in sacks this past season. So why not go for a DE in the 2nd? Well, b/c all the highly advertised ends have been taken (I know a Bucs fanatic who wanted Kerrigan). With Wilson, the Bucs address a solution to Barrett Ruud's low 2010 production and possible exit. Wilson is a physical guy who can lay the lumber and has untapped potential - sounds like a lad named D Brooks. Look for TB to take a few good underadvertised, but talented, DE's in rounds 3-6.

#52 New York Giants -- Bruce Carter, OLB, North Carolina

The need for a quality LBer for Big Blue is highly transparent. Ever since the days of LT/Carson/Banks, the best LB crew the Giants had since then was in '07, where Kawika Mitchell & Antonio Pierce were vital cogs. Now, the Giants have Goff/Bulluck/Boley...a current trio that is tepid. Bruce Carter is the best available OLB who has excellent range and is explosive off the edge.

#45-#48

The 45th thru 48th Picks in the draft are sponsored by David Schwimmer...why? Because just seeing his face pisses me off.#45 San Francisco --Jabal Sheard DE/LB Pittsburgh -- Versatility to fill a couple of holes on the 49ers board make Sheard attractive.
#46 Denver -- Phil Taylor DT Baylor -- First of all Phil Taylor from Baylor sounds cool, second of all his new nickname can be the Denver Omelette, third of all this is 2 times in a row I picked a guy from Baylor. Not at the top of need positions but Denver would love to see Taylor on the board here.
#47 St. Louis -- Jonathan Baldwin Pittsburgh -- An underated WR on the board with alot of upside. Time to start giving Bradford some weapons to throw to.
#48 Oakland -- Colin Kaepernick QB Nevada -- If Kaepernick can evolve he's got all the physical tools. There's no Pistol offense in the pros. He's a project.

#41-44

The next four picks in the CMC Mock Draft are sponsored by various members of the Wayans Family!

As you can see Damon is still too good to hang out with the rest of the family.

41) Washington Redskins-- Christian Ponder, QB, Florida State

The Redskins desperately need an upgrade at the quarterback position. While Ponder doesn't have the physical attributes of Locker or Gabbert, he's ready made for the pros and could play early.

42) Houston Texans -- Brooks Reed, DE, Arizona
This is an amazing get for Houston as Reed is projected to go in the first 25 picks. Not only is he the best player on the board but he fits a major need for the Texans.

43) Minnesota Vikings -- Rahim Moore, S, Utah
With all the quarterbacks gone it's going to be up to the Vikes to find a gem in the late rounds. The secondary is another need and Moore has had a late first-round projection for much of the offseason.

44) Detroit -- Curtis Brown, CB, Texas
The Lions continue improving the defense with another player that fits a need. Right now the Lions are becoming one of those sleeper teams for the 2011 season.

Picks 37-40

Sponsored by the 1959 Cafe 4 color pen. You can use red, blue, black, or green ink without having to use separate pens!!! I ask you this question: Is this not f'ing amazing?

#37 Cleveland -- Torrey Smith, WR, Maryland

A talented WR with tremendous upside who can make Colt McCoy's soph campaign a little easier. Smith overcame a rough upbringing where he dealt with domestic violence while helping to raise six siblings in a rough neighborhood to become the first man in family to earn a college degree. This is why I select him over Jon Baldwin (who is a wanker of a teammate in Pitt football circles).

#38 Arizona -- Kyle Rudolph, TE, Notre Dame

The first TE is off the board in the 2011 CMC Draft. Although durability issues are a concern, Rudolph is the prototypical TE that can block and move around like a WR. AZ goes the offensive route in Rds 1 and 2.

#39 Tennessee -- Jake Locker, QB, Washington

This could be a Titan-ic steal for Tennessee. Locker is a guy who has it all. He is more like a project who needs to handle the clipboard duties for a year since TN is probably going to be mediocre next season.

#40 Dallas -- Mikel Leshoure, RB, Illinois

Simply put, this is Marion Barber's replacement. Leshoure's skillset offsets quite well with the quickness of Choice and Jones.

Picks 33-36

Picks 33-36 are sponsored by Bojangles Chicken and Biscuits (this is where everyone ate before Cracker Barrel)

#33 New England -- Danny Watkins OG Baylor -- First round talent at a position of need and has some versatility in the interior positions.

#34 Buffalo -- Blaine Gabbert QB Missouri -- Buffalo gets lucky to pickup one of the top QB's on the board this far down. Theyre was speculation he could go to Buffalo in Round 1. He can mentor under Fitzpatrick for a few years.

#35 Cincinnati -- Marvin Austin DT N. Carolina -- Tons of talent, needs to put it together. He and Carlos Dunlap could be special on that DL...except for its the Bengals so they'll probably both suck and be out of the league in 2 years.

#36 Denver -- Adrian Clayton DE Iowa -- Big powerful DE to help shore up Denvers DL. Could this break the jinx of repeated bad DL draft picks?

#32 Green Bay Packers

The 32nd pick is sponsored by the Bank of Zamunda. Come check out our low rates on an equity line of credit.The Green Bay Packers Select Akeem Ayers LB UCLA (no relation to Prince Akeem of Zamunda pictured above). The Pack is loaded. They could use a good OLB or CB for depth. Ayers allows them to add some quality depth as their linebacker core is aging and or in contract limbo. Ayers wont have the impact of Matthews but he will be able to contribute immediately.

#31 Pittsburgh Steelers

After lunchtime, you become tired, a little lethargic, and have less brainpower. So you try a cup of coffee, red bull, or 5 hr energy and you still feel run down.

Therefore, this pick is sponsored by the 3 o'clock drop. Because once you drop that afternoon hot one, you can work till 7pm non-stop.




The Pittsburgh Steelers select: Stephen Paea, DT, Oregon St


Pittsburgh ideally wants some more offensive linemen after what Maurkice meant to them in 2010. They also need CB's as evident from their SB loss, but using it as a reason for a Rd 1 pick is devoid of the truth b/c Rodgers torched all CB's. Paea will immediately add depth along the defensive line.

#30 New York Jets

The 30th Pick in the CMC Mock Draft is sponsored by this screenshot from LINKS 386 Pro

The New York Jets select Muhammad Wilkerson, DE, Temple. At this stage there little doubt in my mind that the Jets have traded down to get themselves in the second round because there isn't a sure-fire pick here that would bring them more impact then having a volume of picks and trying to get a player like Marvin Austin or Jabaal Sheard or hoping Phil Hughes from Baylor slips. And Rex Reed is the DE/OLB a guy like Rex Ryan would love because he'll fly all over the field and he has the size and versatility to play with his hand in the ground if necessary. But Wilkerson is a big dude, nearly 6'5, 315 and could play the end or the tackle in situations. It's hard to pass up a lineman like this that had higher value.

#29 Chicago Bears

The 29th Pick is sponsored by Showbiz Pizza. "If we find those f**kers from Chuck E Cheese we're going to kick their a$$."

The Chicago Bears Select Derrick Sherrod OT Mississipi State. The Bears need Olineman badly. They went Tackle in the 1st round last year and now go for the top rated lineman left on the board. Look for them to go back to the OL well in the 2nd and pick up a Center or Guard.

#28 New England Patriots

Sponsored by this exclusive Fathead of "Dynamo" singing opera from the movie "Running Man". This performance launched Dynamo's acting career to new heights. He is now lead supporting actor in "Нет выхода", Tajikistan's hit soap opera.



The New England Patriots select: Aaron Williams, S, Texas

Although I believe NE will trade this pick away due to most blue chips taken off the board, they go with Williams using the BPA philosophy. Adrian Clayborn was probably a more ideal pick, yet Williams has less question marks.

#27 Atlanta Falcons

The 27th Pick of the CMC Mock Draft is sponsored by long time civil rights activist the Reverend Al Sharpton

The Atlanta Falcons select Nate Solder, OT, Colorado. The Falcons have a need for linemen on either side of the ball so it just comes down to the best value pick. Solder is a big dude -- 6-foot-8, 320 pounds and with a little seasoning you could have a heck of a bookend tackle.

#26 Baltimore Ravens

The 26th pick is sponsored by my new home gym that I made down at the plant. I like to do pull ups and work the heavy bag while my pitbull watches. I'm built like solid granite but chicks still dont like me. I'm confused.

The Baltimore Ravens select Cameron Heyward DE THE Ohio St. University. Honestly, I am not picking Heyward here because I am an Ohio guy. If you didnt see the Sugar Bowl last year, go pull the tape -- or just take my word for it. Heyward was a beast. He's the type of strong nasty that Baltimore loves. He can play on the inside but is more of an end and would look fancy next to Ngata. Plus he is Craig "Iron Head" Heyward's (RIP) kid so you know he has a future marketing hair products.

#25 Seattle Seahawks

Sponsored by this Long John Silver to-go platter. I mean, after I run 3 miles, stretch, and then do 30 mins of yoga - I want a meal to set me free. After consuming the battered-n-processed fish, hush puppies, and fries...I look great and feel great (except for the chest pains).



The Seattle Seahawks select: Andy Dalton, QB, Texas Christian

A stunner and big reach here - Seattle fans are booing in Radio City Music Hall.

What Dalton has done in his squeaky clean TCU career is nothing short of remarkable. Take Dalton away and there is much less TCU success the past 3 years. His preparation, football acumen, and leadership are unparalleled. The Seahawks see this and pass up on Blaine Gabbert.

#24 New Orleans Saints

The 24th pick of the CMC Mock Draft is sponsored by the original social networking site Friendster

The New Orleans Saints select Mark Ingram, RB, Alabama. The Saints have one of the league's most explosive offenses without the luxury of a true-blue feature running back. So let's give them the 2009 Heisman Trophy winner and see where things go from there. Ingram isn't the fastest runner, but he's tough, strong and he makes big plays. He's also dynamic out of the passing game and fits a need for the Saints even if it isn't their primary need.

#23 Philadelphia Eagles

This pick is sponsored by Anchovies and Anchovy Fisherman Society. "Seriously, why all the hate...Anchovies"The Philadelphia Eagles Select Justin Houston LB Georgia The board doesnt stack up well for the Eagles. They're going to have to reach on an LB prospect and Houston is the best one on the board. They also had the unfortunate lockout which doesnt allow them to deal Kolb for additional picks in this draft that would have allowed them to trade up and pick someone like Pouncey or Amukamara.

#22 Indianapolis Colts

Sponsored by this hybrid tribal/super mario tattoo. Anytime this tat is showing, all MS3 and Aryan prison gangs best get out the way.

The Indianapolis Colts select: Gabe Carimi, OG/OT, Wisconsin

Bill Polian made it known how sloppy the offensive line performed last season. Let's face it, the Colts will most likely never have a QB like Peyton ever again. So to protect him in order to free up half a second will pay bigger dividends to his receiving corps and continuous nightmares to opposing defenses.

#21 Kansas City Chiefs

The No. 21 pick in the CMC Mock Draft is sponsored by American funk legends The Gap Band

With the 21st selection the Kansas City Chiefs select Ryan Kerrigan, DE, Purdue. This pick fits everything the Chiefs need (another strong pass rusher) with everything the organization wants -- a legitimately good character kid that works hard. There are so many quality defensive linemen in this draft but at No. 21 Kerrigan is a great value.

#20 Tampa Bay Buccaneers

The 20th Pick in the Draft is sponsored by The Church of Scientology -- Georgia Branch. Because mixing ignorance and stupidity together has to be a good idea.

The Buccaneers select Jimmy Smith CB Colorado. The Bucs need a CB as the Aqib Talib era is now over and Ronde is 54 years old. Smith is a reach but the Bucs are so depleted at CB they might have to consider another corner in the 2nd. Smith seems like a perfect fit as he can step into the role of douchebag that Talib vacated. As a matter of fact, he might be Talib's little brother based on some of the dumb stuff he's done. Look for the Bucs to cut ties with Smith in 3 years and then draft their next CB of the future from some other 2nd tier Big12 school that was willing to give scholarships to bad apples in order to compete.

#19 New York Giants...

...sponsored by this actual sign at an indoor kids playground and arcade. Because no criminal wants to be expelled from the arcade.


The New York Giants select: Brandon Harris, CB, Miami

This was one of the hardest picks I have had to ponder over in recent memory. Akeem Ayers, JJ Watt, Gabe Carimi, Mark Ingram, or Muhammad Wilkerson could fit here. Yet, I really feel the CB's are getting burned too often - evident by the late season collapses to the Eagles and Packers. Aaron Ross is a disappointment, so Harris' pure cover skills are a commodity the Giants will need.

Some quality O-linemen and LB's (such as Herzlich or Casey Matthews) can be had in later rounds.

#18 San Diego Chargers

The No. 18 pick of the CMC Mock Draft is sponsored by this Cross Colours hooded sweatshirt. You can pick this up at Dejaiz for $69.99

With the No. 18 pick in the draft the San Diego Chargers select Cameron Jordan DE California. Great value pick here as the common thinking was the Chargers would have to move up to get Jordan but they hold tight and he falls into their lap and is ready to improve that 3-4 defense right away!

#17 New England Patriots...

...is sponsored by the all new Ford Tempo GL Coupe Hybrid, set to arrive in 2013. Ford has forged ahead by keeping the body retro, yet adding a new Coby navigation system and one mp3 outlet.


New England Patriots select: Anthony Castonzo, OT, BC

NE has 2 picks in each of the 1st 3 rounds. This Pats selection is catering to what their strength is - their offense. Protecting their ace and improving on what was an outstanding 2010 offensive attack is a smart gameplan. The defense will surely be targeted for the rest of the draft.

#16 Jacksonville Jaguars

From the team that drafted Big Country comes the #16 pick
The Jacksonville Jaguars Select Aldon Smith DE Missouri. There's alot of D-line talent on the board in this draft. Smith seems to be the most highly rated. Had Jacksonville not completely whiffed a couple of drafts back with two first round DE. Derrick Harvey looked like a beast. He'll probably be rocking Bengals stripes before too long (see also Reggie Nelson). The Jags would look long and hard at Blaine Gabbert this far down the board. In the end they need to repair that DE position.

#15 Miami Dolphins...

...sponsored by the all new Coby Tablet. Why pay between $400-$800 for an Ipad, when you can get a Coby for $150.

Here's why - because it's covered by a 2 month warranty and comes preloaded with the following Apps:

Coby Calendar

Coby Search

Coby Money

Coby Social

Coby Kidz

The Miami Dolphins select: Mike Pouncey, C, Florida

Miami will most likely grab Locker or Gabbert here, but I don't believe they are a 1st round value. Mark Ingram is left on the board too - doesn't matter, the last 4 superbowl winners had mostly running backs by committee. Games are won in the trenches.

Mike can thank Maurkice for a high market value.

#14 St. Louis Rams

We have a special guest to sponsor the No. 14 pick as former Missouri Tigers All-American, pro wrestler extraordinaire and noted bank theft Jeff Gaylord is in the house. Sporting his old Mizzou Zubaz pants!


The No. 14 pick in the draft is Corey Liuget DT Illinois. Once Julio Jones drops to the Cowboys there's no doubt in my mind that the Rams will do everything in their power to trade up. However, at this spot there is plenty of defensive line talent and that's something that Steve Spagnolo will take every day of the week. Liuget is a strong talent that can provide a serious pass rush from the interior of the line.

#13 Detroit

This pick sponsored by Campbell's Dairy Land in Brandon. If you like fried stuff and ice cream then Campbell's is king. Best soft serve in the East Hillsborough County area.

The Lions Select JJ Watt DE Wisconsin

The Lions get shutout on Amukamara and Tyron Smith both of which would be perfect fits at this spot. They'res a big drop off at their top need spots CB, OT, and LB. They'd have to reach to fill one of those spots. There's alot of DL/DE talent on the board and they could certainly add some rush ends to build around their beast of a DT.

#12 Minnesota Vikings...

...is sponsored by the all-new French Bivoleau Clima-Tear Top designed by Jean Luc McCorkle. As you can see from our gorgeous model Rhonda Grubbs, this contemporary design allows cool air to the backside while semi-revealing the bra.




The Minnesota Vikings select: Tyron Smith, OT, USC

Outside of Newton, I don't buy any of the other 1st round QB's. Why go with Locker or Gabbert when you've got guys like Kaepernick, Ponder, Dalton, and Stanzi out there who can win some ballgames.

This is a smart pick for many reasons. Minny QB's got pasted last year, including the beating up of Brett Favre. Adrian Peterson is the cornerstone of the offense and can use better run blocking. I think those are two good reasons to draft a blue chip Tackle.

#11 Houston Texans

The 11th pick of the CMC Draft is sponsored by Red Dog Beer. Get yourself a 12-pack of Red Dog today.

With the No. 11 pick the Houston Texans select Prince Amukamara CB Nebraska. The Texans pass defense was amongst the worst in the league and the cause of several late game collapses. They will also bolster the outside linebacker spots in this draft but Prince is the best value pick on the board.

#10 Washington Redskins

This pick sponsored by the Fjellse Bed Frame at Ikea (On Sale Now!). You've been thinking about a Fjellse or a Brimnes or a Malm. Why not pull the trigger when they're at the lowest price since the Vikings landed in Sweden?

The Washington Redskins select AJ Green WR Georgia. The Redskins seem to alwasy bomb out when trying to add WR talent. Other than Santana Moss they havent had a consistent performer. Green represents the highest rated WR they've had around since the Michael Westrbrook era. I could be wrong on this fact but I dont feel like googling it. So dont bother correcting me. They have alot of holes to fill but AJ Green is the highest rated of any player at any position of need so they would snatch him up in an instant. Who knows where theyre going to find a QB but when they do, they'll have at least one good target.

#9 Pick for the Dallas Cowboys...

...is sponsored by birthday's celebrated at work all across Corporate America. Because seriously, beside from taking a break and eating a slice of cake, who really gives a sh*t?

The Dallas Cowboys select: Julio Jones, WR, Alabama

Ok, so WR is not a need for Dallas. Jerry Jones could care less what you think. If you take a look at his stadium, you do not see conservative. Jerry takes Julio over AJ because the last name feeds to his ego. Dallas now has a very scary WR trio with Dez Bryant and Miles Austin.

#8 Tennessee Titans

The No. 8 pick is brought to you by the cast from the original Melrose Place.

Courtney Thorne-Smith, Heather Locklear AND Josie Bissett? My Monday nights were taken care of for many years.

With the eighth selection the Titans choose Da'Quan Bowers, DE, Clemson and it's an excellent selection because Bowers not only fits a huge need but he has so much upside that he could potentially give the Titans the type of value of a No. 1 pick. The Titans run in the 90s began with Jevon Kearse and Bowers is a much more advanced version.

#7 San Francisco 49ers

The 7th Pick is sponsored by Dickies "Tough Long-Lasting Work Clothes"

With the 7th pick of the NFL Draft the San Francisco 49ers Select Nick Fairley DT Auburn Fairley fills a need for the 9ers. They have a few. For a team that is pretty close to turning the corner they still need DE's, CB's, and of course a QB. Prince Amukamara and Da'Quan Bowers are interesting at this spot so if Patrick Peterson is off the board dont be suprised if they trade down to acquire some additional picks. I'm with Corey on the anti-Gabbert bandwagon. They should see if Dalton, Ponder, or Locker are available early in the 2nd for their next QB prospect.

#6 Pick Cleveland Browns...

...sponsored by this stunning picture of Bartow Rd, capturing the essence of Polk County life. Photographer Zane Beever calls this one his masterpiece.

The Cleveland Browns select: Robert Quinn, DE, North Carolina

What are the images/memories that instantly pop out in your dome on the Browns 2010 season? Close games, Colt McCoy's outstanding rookie play, Peyton Hillis' bruising runs, and Harrison's concussion gift to Mohamed Massaquoi are what I think.

Sure AJ Green and J Jones can boost your offense, but if you can't get to the QB (something the Browns suck at) than you can't win games either.

Defense over offense for President Mike Holmgren. He has not forgotten what legendary Reggie White did for him at Green Bay.

#5 Pick Arizona Cardinals

The number five pick is brought to you by the lesser-known member of the Sheen family Emilio Estevez (at least he uses the real family name)

The Cardinals select Ryan Mallett QB Arkansas: I said I'm not selecting Blaine Gabbert and I won't select Blaine Gabbert. If Mallett is the Cardinals' man there's a good chance they would trade down at least 10 spots to someone who might want Gabbert (Hello, Miami!). But there are no trades in this mock and no way I'm picking Gabbert. Mallett has a few issues but he can throw the football -- big time. And with Larry Fitzgerald, Early Doucet and Steve Breaston on the team, the Cardinals need someone that can throw.

#4 Cincinnati Bengals

The 4th Pick in the Draft is sponsored by the law firm of Smith, Carter, Klingler, and Wilkinson. If the Bengals pick you in the top 5 CALL US. We can help you get set up for life after football. "Dont spend that signing bonus...call Smith, Carter, Klingler, and Wilkinson (we're talking to you Cam Newton)"

The Bengals Select Cam Newtown QB Auburn: Honestly if Cam Newton is available and the Bengals are drafting you know what's going to happen. The smart money is on one of the 2 top WR's on the board (as Ochocinco and TO wont be in stripes this fall). But how could Cincy pass up the obvious grenade that Newtown would be in Cincy. Here's a kid with all the tools and all the immaturity. In Cincy there will be no one around to mentor him or teach him how to be a pro. Its perfect. Put Newton in a football smart organization and he probably becomes spectacular. Put him in Cincy and he becomes Akili Klingler. Please please please let this happen.

#3 Pick Buffalo Bills

The Buffalo Bills select: Von Miller, OLB, Texas A&M

With Cam Newton still on the board, the temptation for the Bills to take Newton is as strong as meth fumes in an East Lakeland trailer park. I like Fitzpatrick and his development as a QB. Buffalo needs defense and to use this draft to make a move upwards in the stacked AFC East.

#2 Pick Denver Broncos

The No. 2 pick in the draft is sponsored by Chris Childs punching Kobe Bryant in the face.

The Denver Broncos select Patrick Peterson, CB, LSU
.
With Dareus off the board this is a great spot to work a trade for teams that covet Newton or...god forbid Blaine Gabbert. As it is the Broncos get the best player in the draft (in my opinion) and someone that can line up on the other side of and learn from Champ Bailey. Besides being a physical presence on the boundary, Peterson is also dynamic in the return game.

#1 Pick Carolina Panthers

The first pick of the 2011 CMC Mock Draft is sponsored by Scooter Crunch (Strawberry) simply the greatest treasure to be found in the ice cream section in the 90's. I had one recently and they've managed to mess it up by adding cheap ingredients and cutting corners (see picture...sigh Corporate America has no shame!). So if you've never had one...dont bother. But if you remember what they were like back in the day give me a mental high five.

The Carolina Panthers Select Marcell Dareus DT Alabama

This is an unpredictable draft. I havent seen Carolina taking Dareus anywhere but think he's their pick. They are a conservative franchise (no Cam Newton) who drafted a future bust in Casey Clausen last year (no Blaine Gabbert), and they need a DT that will take them back to their vaunted days when their defensive line was menacing. They havent been the same without Kris Jenkins and Julius Pepppers in their primes (among others). DT is a position of need and Dareus is the top overall player on alot of boards. He can even play DE if needed. Besides...as a Bengals fan I know Newton is coming to Cincy to suck.
