Pro Football War Room Mock Draft
1st Round
1 Indianapolis QB: Andrew Luck, Stanford
The Colts set themselves up to go from one elite franchise QB to another. Luck
actually compares well to a young Manning and is as close to a sure thing QB
prospect to come out since Peyton. Luck has a magical combination of intelligence,
leadership ability, arm strength and athleticism making him a near perfect prospect.
2 (Trade) Washington QB: Robert Griffin III, Baylor
The Redskins go all in to select what they hope will be their franchise QB for the
next decade and beyond. The price was steep to move up, but RGII is a unique and
dynamic playmaker with absolutely unlimited potential and the high character
leadership abilities to go with it.
3 Minnesota OT: Matt Kalil, USC
The Vikings invested a high first round pick in their franchise QB, Christian
Ponder last year, now they invest highly on finding a long term blindside protector.
Kalil has elite athleticism for the position and while he needs to add bulk and
strength to hold up against NFL power rushers, he has the frame to get stronger
once in a pro style training regiment.
4 Cleveland RB: Trent Richardson, Alabama
The Browns have multiple needs at the skill positions and very well could go
Tannehill here, but I think they would be better off grabing Cousins or Weeden
later than reaching for Tannehill now. With the free agency departure of Peyton
Hillis, the Browns should look to add a workhorse franchise back like Richardson.
Blackmon is an option but the depth at WR this year points them in the direction of
taking the clear cut #1 runnigback to help take the pressure off whoever is behind
center for the Browns next season and beyond.
5 Tampa Bay CB: Morris Claiborne, LSU
This pick would come down to Claiborne or Richardson if the first 4 picks went
down the way its projected here. While Richardson is a good valua and fills a need
here, the recent hire of LSU's secondary coach makes Claiborne a no brainer here.
Claiborne is a physical corner with solid athletic ability. He has corner speed,
despite a slightly disappointing Combine 40 time, and athleticism in a safety sized
body. He offers great value as a lock down corner and a return specialist. If
Claiborne does slip past this spot, given the familiarity by the coaching staff, it
could mean he could slip significantly.
6 (Trade) St. Louis WR: Justin Blackmon, Okl St
The Rams reaped a bounty of picks for RGIII that they would try to capitilize on
starting with pick #6. They would be extactic to see Blackmon, who likely would
have been their pick at 2, still sitting there at 6. Blackmon's big play ability after
the catch will help Bradford take that next step. Blackmon would be a perfect fit
on the speedy St. Louis turf.
7 Jacksonville WR: Michael Floyd, Notre Dame
The Jaguars made a huge investment in Laurent Robinson in the hope he can be
their #1 WR, but adding a big playmaking WR like Floyd would make both that
much more effective and give 2nd year QB Blaine Gabbert some weapons to help
him improve upon his dissapointing rookie season. Floyd is the most physically
gifted reciever in this class, but off the field concerns drop him below Blackmon.
8 Miami QB: Ryan Tannehill, Texas A&M
The Dolphins win the desperation derby for QB and take the biggest reach.
Tannehill has many of the physical and intangible qualities you look for in a
franchise QB, but has little of the experience and production you want. He showed
a lack of poise late in games that may just be a product of his lack of experience or
an indication that he doesn't have the rare quality that the great QBs all possess to
raise there game and lift those around them when the game is on the line.Classic
boom or bust QB pick.
9 Carolina CB: Stephon Gilmore, S Carolina
The Panthers will either go CB or DT with Dontari Poe or Fletcher Cox. Gilmore
is a ascending player and looks to now be a likely top 10. If the Panthers do pass on
him here, the Bills will likely pounce. He has rare length for a corner and could be
a plug and play lock down player. Kuechly is another consideration but Gilmore
fills the bigger need.
10 Buffalo Bills LB: Luke Kuechly, BC
For the first time in years the Bills go into the draft without many glaring needs.
Nix has proved to be a BPA but the way I have the draft falling to here, there may
not be a prospect who separates himself from the pack. That being said, look for
the Bills to agressively try to trade down as far as the bottom of round one even if
the compensation is a pick next year. However, if they stay here, Luke Kuechly
makes the most sense if Gilmore is off the board. Kuechly surely impressed the
Bills with his high character and high football IQ when he visited the week before
the draft. He's a guy you stick in your lineup for 10 years and notice more when he's
not there then when he is there.
This team was #28 in the league vs the run last year giving up 139 yards per game
and 4.9 yards per rush. I love the improvements made to the pass rush, but if teams
never get to 3rd and long it doesn't mean very much. They were also 3rd worst in
the league in giving up rushes over 20 yards with 18. Those plays simply won't
happen to Kuechly's side of the field. I understand wanting to get that impact big
playmaker when drafting so high, but I'm not sure if that guy is going to be sitting
there at 10 in this draft. If not, you could do a hell of a lot worse than getting a guy
who can consistently stop the big playmakers on the other side of the ball.
11 Kansas City OLB: Melvin Ingram, S Carolina
The Chiefs can go in several differnt directions here. DeCastro would be a solid
pick to get tehm back to their roots as a power running team, especially after
signing Peyton Hillis. They could also add a run stuffing true NT in Poe. However,
adding a playmaking pass rusher like Ingram to compliment Hali and Houston
could give teh Chiefs depth and versatility. Ingram is best as a 34 rush linebacker
with the freedom to rush from multiple positions. Lovie will get the most out of
him in his defense.
12 Seattle DE: Quinton Coples, N Carolina
The Seahawks brought in QB Matt Flynn so they can go best player available here.
Seattle wanted to improve their pass rush in free agency, but missed out on signing
Mario Williams, so they would jump on Coples here if available. Coples has as
much physical abilkity as any player in the draft but needs to convince teams he has
the desire and motor to work to fulfill his potential after he admitted to taking the
year off.
13 Arizona Cardinals OT: Riley Reiff, Iowa State
The Cardinals need help at LT. I believe this is too high for Reiff, but the only
position that will get overdrafted as much as QB is OT. Reiff's short arms may limit
him to the right side or to guard, but he is the most ready to play as all the other
Tackle prospects. I have Glenn rated over Reiff, but the immediate need at LT
make Reiff a better fit. Many have Reiff projected to the Bills, but I don't see Nix
taking a Tackle with shorter than average arms and limited strength.
14 Dallas S: Mark Barron, Alabama
The Cowboys could go in several different directions but adding a dynamic Safety
like Barron here would greatly improve their secondary. Barron was an
unquestioned leader of the nations best defense and was a key part of the reason
Alabama is celebrating another national championship. He is versatile enough to
play either safety position in any system but would be ideal as a physical in the box
strong safety.
15 Philadelphia CB: Dre Kirkpatrick, Albama
The Eagles likely would jump on Luke Kuechly if he slipped down to them and
they might even consider a move up. However, if they stay here they can go best
player available after signing Demeetress Bell to fill in for the injured Jason
Peterson. Kirkpatrick could go as high as 10 to the Bills, but if he slips here the
Eagles would be wise to pounce on him. He is a big physical corner who could slip
in as a slot corner to match up with the bigger receivers and TE's in the league.
16 NY Jets DT: Dontari Poe, Memphis
The Jets have needs in multiple areas but have to improve at NT to run Rex Ryan's
defense effectively. Poe is a big athletic prospect who's combine numbers out
performed his tape, but he's a classic planet theory prospect and one of the only
true NT's with a chance to make an impact in this class.
17 Cincinnati OG: David DeCastro, Stanford
The Bengals could go in several different directions but with two first round picks
they can goo best player available at a position of need. DeCastro by far would
represent the best value at this point in the draft and would only drop here because
of positional value. DeCastro reminds me of a young Steve Hutchinson.
18 San Diego OT: Cordy Glenn, Georgia
The Chargers find a replacement for Marcus McNeill with a player with similar
size and athletic ability. Glenn showed Senior Bowl week and at the combine he
has the athletic ability to stick outside, ideally at RT. Upshaw or Ingram would be
the choice if somehow either dropped here, but addressing the Tackle position is a
more likely scenario.
19 Chicago Bears DE: Chandler Jones, Syracuse
The Bears defense relies on pressure and Chandler Jones is one of the fastest rising
prospects in the draft. He has NFL bloodlines and prototypical size for a 43 end.
Chandler has a non-stop motor and is one of the cleaner prospects in the draft. He
is equally adept at stuffing the run as getting after the passer. He is the type of
prospect that may be a better pro than college performer.
20 Tennessee DT: Fletcher Cox, Mississippi St
The Titans need to improve their pass rush. With the signing of Kamerion Wimbley
outside, Cox would be a nice addition inside next to promising 2nd year Tackle
Jurrell Casey.
21 Cincinnatti CB: Janoris Jenkins, N. 'Bama
The Bengals have major issues at CB after losing Jonathan Joseph in free agency
and Leon Hall is coming off an Achilles injury. Jenkins is as talented as any corner
in the draft but off field concerns will drop him down many draft boards. However
the Bengals have never shied away from taking prospects with questionable
character.
22 Cleveland WR: Kendall Wright, Baylor
The Browns would be wise to pass on the temptation to reach for a QB both at 4
and here. They have enough needs to address and adding another weapon for
whatever QB is taking snaps for them makes sense and will help take some
pressure off him. Wright is an explosive deep threat. He greatly improved on his
combine 40 time at his pro-day and solidified his place as a mid first rounder.
23 Detroit OT: Jonathan Martin, Stanford
Martin is a solid, if not spectacular OT prospect with good size and athleticism. He
is equally adept at pass and run blocking and has experience in Stanford's pro-style
offense. He's a plug and play guy with limited upside. I have a second round grade
on him, but like QB, OT will be over-drafted. I wouldn't be surprised if Bobbie
Massie goes here over Martin.24 Pittsburgh LB: Donta Hightower, Alabama
Its rare for a 34 team to find a linebacker with the kind of experience Hightower
has playing in the system. Hightower was the leader inside for a dominant Alabama
defense that won the national championship. While Hightower's TFL and sack
totals are less than ideal for a first round ILB, his athletic ability, football IQ and
leadership ability make him a solid pick at this point in the draft.
25 Denver Broncos WR: Rueben Randle, LSU
With Peyton Manning in place, the Broncos will in all likelyhood target some
weapons with the veteran signal caller. Few QB's in history have been able to get
the most out of rookie and young receivers than Manning. Randle lit up his pro-day
after a solid collegiate career for the national champion runner ups. Its scary to
think of what kind of production Randle would have had at LSU with a more
talented QB.
26 Houston Texans WR: Stephen Hill, Georgia Tech
The Texans want to find a target opposite Andre Johnson and Stephen Hill has as
much upside as any WR in the draft. He has freakish speed for his size but he is
extremely raw and unproven do to playing in a quirky triple option offense. He'll
take some time to polish his route running and he needs to improve his
concentration to cut down on his drops, but he does attack the ball in the air, blocks
and should represent a major challenge to match up opposite Johnson.
27 New England Patriots OLB: Courtney Upshaw, Alabama
Upshaw has had a disasterous post season but Belichick will be able to get the most
out of him. The Patriots covet players with Upshaw's versatility. Upshaw is a leader
and definitely a better footbal player than athlete.
28 Green Bay OLB: Shea McClellin, Boise St
The Packers need to find another rush linebacker opposite Matttews and McClelin
is soaring up boards. He is an athletic and versatile pass rusher that would add
another dimension to the Packers defense, which sorely needs more playmakers.
29 Baltimore IOL: Peter Konz, Wisconsin
The Ravens need to add some youth to an aging IOL. Konz has the kind of
toughness and versatility the Ravens covet inside. The Ravens would have to take a
hard look at the injury history of Konz, and I wouldn't be surprised if they were
concerned about his long term health if they went with fellow Badger linemate
Kevin Zeitler here instead. However, at 6'-5" 315 Konz has the size the Ravens
covet even though he'll need to increase his strength.30 San Francisco TE: Coby Fleener, Stanford
The 49ers would love to add a receiver here but with the run already projected,
they opt for a adding a another TE weapon that Harbaugh is very familiar with.
Harbaugh's offense makes use of multiple tight ends, so Fleener and Vernon Davis
would be used to maximum effect. Fleener's familiraty with Harbaugh would allow
him to get on the field day one and will give Alex Smith another big target to
further help aid his development.
31 New England DE/DT: Michael Brockers, LSU
The Patriots have never completely replaced Richard Seymore and will try to fill
that role with Michael Brockers here. Brockers has the versatility to play in
multiple positions in multiple fronts. The Patriots covet that kind of versatility for
Belichicks hybrid defense.
32 New York DE: Whitney Mercilus, Illinois
Two of the reasons the Giants are celebrating yet another Super Bowl
Championship is a draft phylosophy of taking the best available player to go along
with the notion you can never have too many pass rushers. For both reasons,
Whitney Mercilus makes sense here. The rich get richer.

He’s a relatively inexperienced QB when it comes to playing big time

and has spent most of his time having to make limited defensive
reads…Still learning how to place the proper touch on the ball, has a

7 1 Nick Perry DE USC 6026 271 4.64 OLB
Perry is a dynamic pass rusher with elite athletic ability and
prototypical size. He burst onto the scene as a red shirt freshman
and led the conference with 12 sacks his Junior year. He showed
off his elite athleticism and strength at the combine, backing up the
tape showing his explosive first step and ability to turn the arc with
Positives a combination of pass rush moves. Tough competitor who often
played hurt. Uses his long arms well and violent hands well to set
up his speed rush and closes well on the QB. Has the lower body
strength and power to effectively bull rush but outside speed rush is
his go to move.
Has some injury history and inconsistant tape, likely because he
played hurt. He needs to continue to refine and expand his pass
rush moves and be a bit more disciplined setting the edge. Runs
himself out of plays at times. He relies more on his speed rush and
Negatives needs to improve his bull rush and counter moves. Has some
stiffness which makes him better suited for 43 end then 34 OLB.
Big dip in production due to injury his sophomore year.
Perry has the potential to be an impact pass rusher from day one.
He has the best combination of size, speed and athleticism among
Projection: 1(10) this years crop of 43 DE prospects. His toughness and work ethic
Overview are unquestioned and if he can stay healthy has the look of an
impact player at the next level.Defensive Tackles RK.

8 1 Luke Kuechly ILB Boston College 6032 242 4.58 Jr
Highly productive, intelligent and instinctive linebacker. He had a
solid combine proving he also brings more than enough pure
athletic ability to the table to play outsied as well as inside.
Mayock called him the most instinctive zone cover backer he's
Positives ever seen.
For all of his production his resume doesn't include a ton of big
Negatives time plays in the backfield.
Projection: 1(10) Kuechly will be a fixture in the middle of the defense. He has
elite instincts and football IQ that he uses to get in an an
exceptionally high percentage of plays. He's best in a sytem where
Overview he can read and react, rather than an attacking defense.

Big, tough and versatile LB who is scheme diverse. A fiery team
leader on the Tide's Nation's best National Champion Defense.
Positives
A bit of a tweener who wasn't as productive his senior year as his
early promise would have suggested. He's the one player on that
Negatives defense that perhaps benefitted most from the play of those
around him.
Projection: 1(28) Hightower best fits in a 34 defense given his experience in that
scheme. He may not have the potential to be a perrenial pro-bowl
Overview caliber player, but should be a solid contributor day 1.
