Last update: Thursday, Feb. 25, 2010 - First edition.
Next update: TBA
Tired of reading my opinions? Let's see what everyone else has to say. We've compiled data from more than 1,000 NFL Mock Drafts on the Web and created a Consensus 2010 NFL Mock Draft.
St. Louis Rams: Jimmy Clausen, QB, Notre Dame - 44%
Jimmy Clausen (44%) edges out Ndamukong Suh (43%) out of 1,206 picks. Click here to see what other 2010 NFL Draft Prospects are being mocked to the Rams.
Quote from the Ethwasia NFL Mock Draft:
The Rams could take Ndamukong Suh here, but it would be a mistake for two reasons. 1) The Rams desperately need a franchise QB in order to get to the playoffs and 2) They've spent two recent first round picks on the DL (Adam Carriker and Chris Long), so it wouldn't make sense to draft another defensive lineman here.
Detroit Lions: Ndamukong Suh, DT, Nebraska - 46%
Ndamukong Suh easily wins this one. Not too many people like Eric Berry here. One percent of the mocks have a very strange selection. Click here to see what other 2010 NFL Draft Prospects are being mocked to the Lions.
Quote from the KW NFL Mock Draft:
Some believe McCoy is better then Suh, but personally I believe Suh will turn out the better prospect. Detroit still needs a lot of pieces, They had a great draft last year and need to build upon that. Suh is just what Detroit needs on the defensive line to cause havoc for the opposing offense. The offensive tackle out of Oklahoma State is eye catching, but I think Suh is better and Detroit could get a tackle at the top of the second round. If its my call, Suh would be the choice, no doubt about it.
Tampa Bay Buccaneers: Gerald McCoy, DT, Oklahoma - 43%
Only nine percent of the mocks think Ndamukong Suh will fall to Tampa Bay. Click here to see what other 2010 NFL Draft Prospects are being mocked to the Buccaneers.
Quote from the CJ-Sez NFL Mock Draft:
The Bucs are happy to get G-MAC and his box of impressive tools. He will help a team that was poor to say the least against the run last season.
Washington Redskins: Sam Bradford, QB, Oklahoma - 40%
Sam Bradford (40%) crushes Russell Okung (25%). Click here to see what other 2010 NFL Draft Prospects are being mocked to the Redskins.
Quote from the Husker Fan NFL Mock Draft:
Washington could go with Russell Okung but I think Shanahan will want a franchise QB to start his tenure in Washington.
Kansas City Chiefs: Russell Okung, OT, Oklahoma State - 35%
Russell Okung gets more votes than Eric Berry and Rolando McClain combined. Some Chiefs fans won't be too happy about that. Click here to see what other 2010 NFL Draft Prospects are being mocked to the Chiefs.
Quote from the Irishroo NFL Mock Draft:
The Chiefs have given up 45 sacks this year, which is absolutely terrible. A large part of that is due to the fact that Matt Cassel holds on to the ball way too long, but the line hasn't helped him out much either. Okung is the best pass blocker in the draft and would allow Branden Albert to move inside, probably to RG until Brian Waters retires, thus upgrading 2 positions with 1 pick. Obviously, he would really help solve Kansas City's offensive line problems
Seattle Seahawks: Eric Berry, S, Tennessee - 21%
Eric Berry barely edges out Sam Bradford, but the latter is off the board already. Click here to see what other 2010 NFL Draft Prospects are being mocked to the Seahawks.
Quote from the Morphius NFL Mock Draft:
Seattle is in a good position, as they could potentially package some picks together to move up and take Bradford, a replacement for Hasselback. But, they need too much, they select the next Ed Reed. Remaining Needs; RB, QB, OT, DE Clausen is also an option, but Best player available is certainly Berry.
Cleveland Browns: Joe Haden, CB, Florida - 45%
This one's not even close, though I'm sure the Browns would love to get the No. 5 guy on this list. Click here to see what other 2010 NFL Draft Prospects are being mocked to the Browns.
Quote from the Giants Fan NFL Mock Draft:
Mike Holmgren takes the athletic corner who reminds me a lot of Darelle Revis.
Oakland Raiders: Bruce Campbell, OT, Maryland - 27%
Al Davis loves 40 times. That's the basis behind this pick. Click here to see what other 2010 NFL Draft Prospects are being mocked to the Raiders.
Quote from the Sean77 NFL Mock Draft:
A specimen. Al loves it.
Buffalo Bills: Anthony Davis, OT, Rutgers - 27%
Tackles and quarterbacks comprise Buffalo's mock selections. Click here to see what other 2010 NFL Draft Prospects are being mocked to the Bills.
Quote from the Derigo NFL Mock Draft:
Like the Seahawks, the Bills two biggest needs are quarterback and left tackle. With no quarterback worthy of this pick left on the board, left tackle will most likely be addressed. Davis is not the slam dunk pick, as the Bills could take any tackle that they feel is the best fit for them. Also, with the Bills switching to a 3-4, don't count out Rolando McClain.
Jacksonville Jaguars: Derrick Morgan, DE, Georgia Tech - 29%
Tim Tebow gets some love here, but the Jaguars are apparently slated to pick Derrick Morgan. Click here to see what other 2010 NFL Draft Prospects are being mocked to the Jaguars.
Quote from the Werealpha NFL Mock Draft:
The Jags are still going to trade up into the second round to get Tebow, but they need a guy who can put some heat on opposing quarterbacks with this pick.
Denver Broncos: Dez Bryant, WR, Oklahoma State - 34%
Who knows what Josh McDaniels is going to do? Apparently, if it's not a blocking tight end, it'll be Dez Bryant. Click here to see what other 2010 NFL Draft Prospects are being mocked to the Broncos.
Quote from the CKing NFL Mock Draft:
It is likely that Brandon Marshall will be traded this off season. Dez Bryant is a huge target for Kyle Orton that will fill the shoes of Marshall. If, however, Marshall and the Broncos can come to an agreement, they are in desperate need of an offensive line upgrade. The Bronco playbook is limited due to an O-line that doesn’t allow Orton to take seven step drops in the pocket. Teams started picking up on this and started to pick off Orton later in the year as a result.
Miami Dolphins: Rolando McClain, ILB, Alabama - 26%
An inside linebacker for Miami. I don't think the team's fans would like the No. 4 guy on this list. Click here to see what other 2010 NFL Draft Prospects are being mocked to the Dolphins.
Quote from the Uber NFL Mock Draft:
Team Needs - WR, LB, NT, S. With Joey Porter on the way out and Jason Taylor approaching 36, the Dolphins are suddenly extremely thin at linebacker. McClain is exactly the type of player to fix this situation. McClain is the premier LB prospect of the draft and has been compared favorably to Patrick Willis. Add this to Bill Parcells history of taking linebackers at the top of the draft and this pick becomes a lock. If McClain is gone at this point then Dan Williams should be the next choice.
San Francisco 49ers: Bryan Bulaga, OT, Iowa - 13%
Apparently, no one likes my C.J. Spiller pick; he's No. 5 on this list. Click here to see what other 2010 NFL Draft Prospects are being mocked to the 49ers.
Quote from the Blitzkreig NFL Mock Draft:
The 49ers running game is pretty much all they got. With Bryan Bulaga blocking on the O-Line, Frank Gore could have his best season yet.
Seattle Seahawks: C.J. Spiller, RB, Clemson - 27%
The 49ers passed on C.J. Spiller, and now they have to defend him twice a year for the next 8-10 seasons. Good luck with that. Click here to see what other 2010 NFL Draft Prospects are being mocked to the Seahawks.
Quote from the Tenshot NFL Mock Draft:
Seattle could go with a FS like Earl Thomas, or a DE like Jason Pierre-Paul (although I think JPP fits better as a 3-4 rush LB), but I think they need to make a splash on offense. I'm positive that some team will reach for C.J. Spiller, and that team is Seattle. Spiller gives them the versatile home-run threat they need.
New York Giants: Brian Price, DT, UCLA - 28%
Giants fans will be jumping for joy if the No. 4 guy on this list drops to them. Click here to see what other 2010 NFL Draft Prospects are being mocked to the Giants.
Quote from the K-Luder NFL Mock Draft:
Price is moving up on a lot of people's boards. He came out of UCLA early, and at the right time, having put up an amazing 23.5 tackles for a loss, and recording 7 sacks. One thing I noticed all year was how opposing O-Lines were able to do anything they wanted to against the Giants' D-Line. That cannot be acceptable to Tom Coughlin.
Tennessee Titans: Everson Griffen, DE, USC - 15%
Everson Griffen beats out another prospect by just TWo mock picks. Click here to see what other 2010 NFL Draft Prospects are being mocked to the Titans.
Quote from the J-Raleigh NFL Mock Draft:
The Titans biggest problem last year was a lack of pass rush. Vanden Bosch probably won't be back, and Kearse is no longer an effective player. Griffen has a tremendous size-speed combination that will allow him to rush the passer and hold his own against the run. His work ethic and motor are concerns, but the Titans have proven to be one of the best at coaching up defensive linemen. This is an ideal spot for Griffen.
San Francisco 49ers: Trent Williams, OT, Oklahoma - 13%
No surprises here - all offensive tackles and defensive backs for San Francisco. Click here to see what other 2010 NFL Draft Prospects are being mocked to the 49ers.
Quote from the Mock It Out 2.0 NFL Mock Draft:
The 49ers finish off an excellent first round by adding a bulldozer to the right side of their line.
Pittsburgh Steelers: Earl Thomas, FS, Texas - 17%
Sixteen percent have the Steelers taking Bryan Bulaga and Trent Williams despite all the money Pittsburgh is paying to Max Starks and Willie Colon. Click here to see what other 2010 NFL Draft Prospects are being mocked to the Steelers.
Quote from the Old King Cole NFL Mock Draft:
There's talk the Steelers may franchise Clark or at least re-sign him, but they still could use a safety of the future. Earl is a more balanced safety than Berry, but less upside. Still he should fit nicely next to Polamalu.
Atlanta Falcons: Donovan Warren, CB, Michigan - 15%
Donovan Warren wins out over Sean Weatherspoon. Click here to see what other 2010 NFL Draft Prospects are being mocked to the Falcons.
Quote from the Blue NFL Mock Draft:
Warren is now rated higher than Spiller, so he gets to be the pick this time. Warren may or may not go this high, based on mixed reviews of his play, but he certainly has as much upside as Joe Haden and Atlanta has a huge need at corner.
Houston Texans: Dan Williams, NT, Tennessee - 9%
The top two guys on this list are off the board, so that's why Dan Williams at 9 percent wins this. Click here to see what other 2010 NFL Draft Prospects are being mocked to the Texans.
Quote from the JMW NFL Mock Draft:
Houston needs help on their D-Line and I know it seems like thats all they draft, but Dan Williams was unblockable this year and had a GREAT senior bowl, he's a very versatile guy that can play in a 3-4 or 4-3 scheme and the Texans would really have to consider him.
Cincinnati Bengals: Jermaine Gresham, TE, Oklahoma - 23%
Jermaine Gresham easily wins this one. The other prospects are receivers. Click here to see what other 2010 NFL Draft Prospects are being mocked to the Bengals.
Quote from the DSA Hawker NFL Mock Draft:
Bengals need a legit TE and additional offensive weapons. Gresham would fit the bill by being a TE and also an offensive weapon. Chad and Carson would like this pick.
New England Patriots: Jerry Hughes, DE/OLB, TCU - 11%
Jerry Hughes is edged out, but the No. 1 guy on this list is off the board. It would be scary to see the No. 4 prospect join New England. Click here to see what other 2010 NFL Draft Prospects are being mocked to the Patriots.
Quote from the Peter Stevenson NFL Mock Draft:
Hughes will be an edge rusher. Not great in the passing defense. He will be going after the QB with his speed all the time. The Patriots need to add more youth and talent to help out Mayo and get it with Hughes.
Green Bay Packers: Charles Brown, OT, USC - 25%
Hilarious (and sad for Packer fans) that every single prospect in the top five is an offensive tackle. Hmm... does Green Bay need help there? Click here to see what other 2010 NFL Draft Prospects are being mocked to the Packers.
Quote from the TF-10s NFL Mock Draft:
Charles Brown is a perfect pick for the Packers. The packers pass protection really improved towards the end of last year, but they simply do not have much depth on the offensive line.
Philadelphia Eagles: Carlos Dunlap, DE, Florida - 15%
Defensive end is a big need, and Andy Reid doesn't put much stock into character. Carlos Dunlap was the winner. Click here to see what other 2010 NFL Draft Prospects are being mocked to the Eagles.
Quote from the The Mrvl NFL Mock Draft:
The Eagles need to improve their pass rush off the edge. Dunlap is the perfect guy for the job. He falls this far because of his character flaws and because Al Davis fell in love with someone else. Andy Reid is unafraid to take a player with baggage so he wont hesitate to draft Dunlap if he is there.
Baltimore Ravens: Damian Williams, WR, USC - 17%
The top four prospects here are all receivers. No surprise there. Click here to see what other 2010 NFL Draft Prospects are being mocked to the Ravens.
Quote from the Jap Si NFL Mock Draft:
Ozzie Newsome has always drafted the best player available, and it looks like this year he could be filling a major need by doing just that. This pick ultimately comes down to who is higher on their draft board - Jermaine Gresham will prove a very good long term upgrade to Todd Heap, but I believe that not only does Damian Williams fill an even greater need at receiver, but that Baltimore may have him higher than Gresham on their board anyway. A fantastic route runner, Williams will ultimately replace Derrick Mason as the Ravens' number 1 receiver and immediately help out a dubious WR group.
Arizona Cardinals: Brandon Graham, DE, Michigan - 7%
Our lowest winner thus far; the top two most-mocked prospects are off the board. Click here to see what other 2010 NFL Draft Prospects are being mocked to the Cardinals.
Quote from the Big Jay NFL Mock Draft:
Arizona’s biggest need is for a LT. They drafted Levi Brown a couple years ago to be a RT when they thought Matt Leinart, a lefty, would be the QB of the future. Well he hasn't been so far and Warner is suffering because of it. They would consider Charles Brown here but it’s unlikely as they want to commit to a power running attack and he is pretty lean for an OT. Outsider linebackers Haggans, Okeafor, and Berry are all 33 years old or older so they will definitely be upgrading with Graham who had a spectacular showing at the SB, showing a variety of pass-rushing moves and looking a lot like Broncos OLB Elvis Dumervil.
Dallas Cowboys: Mike Iupati, G, Idaho - 20%
Based on e-mails I've received, I know Dallas fans won't be pleased with the Nos. 2 and 3 prospects on this board. Click here to see what other 2010 NFL Draft Prospects are being mocked to the Cowboys.
Quote from the Apex Assassin NFL Mock Draft:
Primary needs in order: OT,FS,NT,MLB,OG. Secondary needs in order: DE,CB,WR,SS. In an earlier mock I had the boys taking an OT, but the top 6 guys are gone. The Cowboys seem to be interested in Iupati though. Whether they put him at OG or OT, he will be an upgrade to Dallas' OL. He still needs to improve his pass protection though. NT Cody & SS Mays are other options here.
San Diego Chargers: Jonathan Dwyer, RB, Georgia Tech - 15%
No surprise that three of the top five guys being mocked to San Diego are running backs in the wake of LaDainian Tomlinson's release. Click here to see what other 2010 NFL Draft Prospects are being mocked to the Chargers.
Quote from the Six Timers NFL Mock Draft:
With the release of LT the Chargers need a big back to complement Darren Sproles Dwyer was a punishing and productive runner at Gtech gaining 1400 yards and 13 TDs.
New York Jets: Jared Odrick, DE/DT, Penn State - 10%
There are so many different picks going to the Jets; it's remarkable that a 10-percent mocked player is the highest on New York's board. Click here to see what other 2010 NFL Draft Prospects are being mocked to the Jets.
Quote from the Raven NFL Mock Draft:
The Jets don't have many pressing needs. There defense was tops in the league last year, and their young offense is only going to get better. They do have some age at defensive end, and Marques Douglas is set to become a free agent, so Odrick, who can play defensive end in a 3-4, is a nice fit here.
Minnesota Vikings: Terrence Cody, NT, Alabama - 9%
Believe it or not, Terrence Cody was the big winner here. All of the other guys were corners, so I guess they canceled each other out. Click here to see what other 2010 NFL Draft Prospects are being mocked to the Vikings.
Quote from the Rooy NFL Mock Draft:
Vikings draft Mount Cody to replace the elder of the Williams Wall. This big boy will fill the middle quite nicely and literally.
Indianapolis Colts: Sean Weatherspoon, OLB, Missouri - 19%
The Colts usually draft offense, but Sean Weatherspoon would undoubtedly be an interesting addition to the defense. Click here to see what other 2010 NFL Draft Prospects are being mocked to the Colts.
Quote from the C-Morgs NFL Mock Draft:
This may seem like a shot in the dark, but Brackett's on the market, and even if he comes back, he's over 30. Weatherspoon is as classy as they come, and the Colts know value when they see it.
New Orleans Saints: Jason Pierre-Paul, DE, South Florida - 4%
This will happen in a consensus mock draft. Jason Pierre-Paul was among the leaders in a few spots, but was never the top guy. So, he slipped all the way to the Saints. I've made it clear that I'm not a big fan of JPP, but even I'll admit that he's a hell of a bargain down at No. 32. Click here to see what other 2010 NFL Draft Prospects are being mocked to the Saints.
Quote from the Boston Faded NFL Mock Draft:
I think Pierre-Paul will fall because he only had 1 good year and no one knows if he will continue to improve. If he does continue to get better than NO got a hell of a player. NO needs another DE to step in for Charles Grant who probably wont be back

Andy Reid is unafraid to take a player with baggage so he wont hesitate to draft Dunlap if he is there.
Baltimore Ravens: Damian Williams, WR, USC - 17%
The top four prospects here are all receivers. No surprise there. Click here to see what other 2010 NFL Draft Prospects are being mocked to the Ravens.
Quote from the Jap Si NFL Mock Draft:
Ozzie Newsome has always drafted the best player available, and it looks like this year he could be filling a major need by doing just that. This pick ultimately comes down to who is higher on their draft board - Jermaine Gresham will prove a very good long term upgrade to Todd Heap, but I believe that not only does Damian Williams fill an even greater need at receiver, but that Baltimore may have him higher than Gresham on their board anyway. A fantastic route runner, Williams will ultimately replace Derrick Mason as the Ravens' number 1 receiver and immediately help out a dubious WR group.
Arizona Cardinals: Brandon Graham, DE, Michigan - 7%
Our lowest winner thus far; the top two most-mocked prospects are off the board. Click here to see what other 2010 NFL Draft Prospects are being mocked to the Cardinals.
Quote from the Big Jay NFL Mock Draft:
Arizona’s biggest need is for a LT. They drafted Levi Brown a couple years ago to be a RT when they thought Matt Leinart, a lefty, would be the QB of the future. Well he hasn't been so far and Warner is suffering because of it. They would consider Charles Brown here but it’s unlikely as they want to commit to a power running attack and he is pretty lean for an OT. Outsider linebackers Haggans, Okeafor, and Berry are all 33 years old or older so they will definitely be upgrading with Graham who had a spectacular showing at the SB, showing a variety of pass-rushing moves and looking a lot like Broncos OLB Elvis Dumervil.
Dallas Cowboys: Mike Iupati, G, Idaho - 20%
Based on e-mails I've received, I know Dallas fans won't be pleased with the Nos. 2 and 3 prospects on this board. Click here to see what other 2010 NFL Draft Prospects are being mocked to the Cowboys.
Quote from the Apex Assassin NFL Mock Draft:
Primary needs in order: OT,FS,NT,MLB,OG. Secondary needs in order: DE,CB,WR,SS. In an earlier mock I had the boys taking an OT, but the top 6 guys are gone. The Cowboys seem to be interested in Iupati though. Whether they put him at OG or OT, he will be an upgrade to Dallas' OL. He still needs to improve his pass protection though. NT Cody & SS Mays are other options here.
San Diego Chargers: Jonathan Dwyer, RB, Georgia Tech - 15%
No surprise that three of the top five guys being mocked to San Diego are running backs in the wake of LaDainian Tomlinson's release. Click here to see what other 2010 NFL Draft Prospects are being mocked to the Chargers.
Quote from the Six Timers NFL Mock Draft:
With the release of LT the Chargers need a big back to complement Darren Sproles Dwyer was a punishing and productive runner at Gtech gaining 1400 yards and 13 TDs.
New York Jets: Jared Odrick, DE/DT, Penn State - 10%
There are so many different picks going to the Jets; it's remarkable that a 10-percent mocked player is the highest on New York's board. Click here to see what other 2010 NFL Draft Prospects are being mocked to the Jets.
Quote from the Raven NFL Mock Draft:
The Jets don't have many pressing needs. There defense was tops in the league last year, and their young offense is only going to get better. They do have some age at defensive end, and Marques Douglas is set to become a free agent, so Odrick, who can play defensive end in a 3-4, is a nice fit here.
Minnesota Vikings: Terrence Cody, NT, Alabama - 9%
Believe it or not, Terrence Cody was the big winner here. All of the other guys were corners, so I guess they canceled each other out. Click here to see what other 2010 NFL Draft Prospects are being mocked to the Vikings.
Quote from the Rooy NFL Mock Draft:
Vikings draft Mount Cody to replace the elder of the Williams Wall. This big boy will fill the middle quite nicely and literally.
Indianapolis Colts: Sean Weatherspoon, OLB, Missouri - 19%
The Colts usually draft offense, but Sean Weatherspoon would undoubtedly be an interesting addition to the defense. Click here to see what other 2010 NFL Draft Prospects are being mocked to the Colts.
Quote from the C-Morgs NFL Mock Draft:
This may seem like a shot in the dark, but Brackett's on the market, and even if he comes back, he's over 30. Weatherspoon is as classy as they come, and the Colts know value when they see it.
New Orleans Saints: Jason Pierre-Paul, DE, South Florida - 4%
This will happen in a consensus mock draft. Jason Pierre-Paul was among the leaders in a few spots, but was never the top guy. So, he slipped all the way to the Saints. I've made it clear that I'm not a big fan of JPP, but even I'll admit that he's a hell of a bargain down at No. 32.

Quote from the Boston Faded NFL Mock Draft:
I think Pierre-Paul will fall because he only had 1 good year and no one knows if he will continue to improve. If he does continue to get better than NO got a hell of a player. NO needs another DE to step in for Charles Grant who probably wont be back
