2011 NFL Mock Draft Round 1 Picks(1-6)

Here is part five of the eight part series and the my last predictions before the first round starts in T minus three hours.

1. Carolina- Cam Newton QB Auburn - Newton isn’t the best player in the draft but Carolina is picking first for a reason. They are going to take the guy that will sell tickets and have the best chance of winning games this season. This won’t be the best thing for the long term though(read Vince Young situation). They should take Blaine Gabbert here but they won’t.(No that isn't a mug shot above. Cam Newton is a saint!)

2. Denver- Marcell Dareus DT ‘Bama- This DT had the better combine between him and state rival DT Nick Fairley. Denver was last in the league with only 23 sacks last year. This pick along with the return of Elvis Dummervil should put them back among the league leaders.

3.Buffalo- Von Miller OLB Texas A&M -Buffalo management year after year make foolish first round picks. They should take Newton or Gabbert here depending on who is left but they won’t because they are the dumbest team in the league.

4. Cincinnati- Blaine Gabbert QB Missouri- Carson Palmer has made it clear that he isn’t coming back no matter what the Bengals do or say with or without a lockout. A franchise QB is a must here.

5. Arizona- Patrick Peterson CB LSU- Larry Fitzgerald threatened management to not take a young QB here instead of signing a veteran. Management will listen and simply take the best defensive player available.

6. Cleveland- AJ Green WR Georgia- This is the best WR available in the draft and if he slips to Cleveland they will take him to reward Colt McCoy who has been organizing team workout during the lockout.

2011 NFL Mock Draft Round 1 Picks(7-13)

Here is part four of the eight-part series of my mock NFL draft

7. San Francisco- Robert Quinn DE/OLB UNC- San Fran needs a pass rusher here with not franchise QB’s left for former QB now coach Jim Harbaugh to take control of.

8. Tennessee- Julio Jones WR ‘Bama- Titans failed with the Randy Moss experiment last year so look for them to solve this issue here or go with Nick Fairley to play the nose.

9. Dallas- Nick Fairley DT Auburn - Jerry Jones always makes a spash in the first round with a big name who may not be a great fit or have the off-the-field issues. Fairley is pretty clean besides Auburn’s trees getting poisoned by a crazy Alabama fan but is still a headline pick at #9.

10. Washington- Aldon Smith DE/OLB Missouri - The Redskins need a pass rusher too bad to pass on Smith here. Guy is a beast on the edge

11. Houston- J.J. Watt DE/DT Wisconsin- The Texans needs a five technique guy for Wade Phillips’ new D in Houston and Watt is the perfect guy in this system.

12. Minnesota- Tyron Smith OT USC- The Vikings would love to see Smith here to open up some holes for Adrian Peterson and protect whoever the QB is next year in Minneapolis.

13. Detroit- Prince Amukamara CB Nebraska -The Lions need help everywhere but especially the secondary after what Deion Branch did to him on Thanksgiving.

2011 NFL Mock Draft Round 1 Picks(14-19)

This is part 3 of an eight part series previewing the 2011 NFL Draft that starts Thursday at 8 eastern time on ESPN. Here are picks 14-19

14. St. Louis- Corey Liuget DT Illinois- The Rams need help up front and this big fella does that for sure.

15. Miami- Mike Pouncey C Florida -If the Dolphins stay here they take him but expect a trade out of the first round with no second round picks

16. Jacksonville- Jake Locker QB Washington- The Jags need a QB to replace old man Garrard eventually. Look for that answer right here.

17. New England Patriots- Cameron Jordan DE/DT California- This is a Richard Seymour like guy and that obviously worked out well for the Pats. Kinda fitting that this is one of the picks they got for Seymour.

18. San Diego Chargers- Da’ Quan Bowers DE Clemson- This is a special guy in the first round as he is a pure pass rusher.

19. New York Giants- Anthony Castanzo OT Newton University(Boston College)- I hate the Giants. I hate BC. They take players from BC all the time. End of story..next pick
