20th Pick - Houston Texans select: RB Ryan Matthews (Fresno State)
Schaub stayed healthy last season and Andre Johnson showed just how great the passing game can be in Houston. Slayton didn't prove as durable as the Texans would have hoped. Matthews should provide the additional size and strength to compliment the passing game.
21st Pick - Cincinnati Bengals select: CB Kyle Wilson (Boise State)
The list of candidates with off field issues isn't strong enough to garner consideration this year for Cincinnati. It's not the best year of hopeful 1st round worthy receivers, so Mr. OchoCinco will have to wait until later in the draft for some additional help. With so many of the leagues young top receivers in the AFC the Bengals will sure up their pass coverage and allow their front seven more time to rush the quarterback.
22nd Pick - New England Patriots select: C/G Maurkice Pouncey (Florida)
The Patriots staff would ideally like to rejuvenate and aging defense with this pick, but the team learned that protecting Tom Brady is priority #1. Pouncey adds an element to the O-line of a strong run blocker, as well as pass protector.
23rd Pick - Green Bay Packers select: OT Anthony Davis (Rutgers)
As Green Bay transitioned to more of a spread passing attack to allow Rodgers to make quick decisions with the ball rather than spend more time on the ground with their original passing game scheme they discovered they need more help on the O-Line. Imagine how much better Rodgers can be with even more time to read defenses and throw the ball.
24th Pick - Philadelphia Eagles select: DL Jared Odrick (Penn State)
His pass rush skills won't go unnoticed in Philly where his ability to draw double teams will free up the linebackers.
25th Pick - Baltimore Ravens select: FS Taylor Mays (USC)
Ozzie Newsome doesn't miss a beat. Many may think the only tight end worthy of being drafted could fall to the Ravens, but Ozzie has a talent for taking the best player on the board and knows which players should have already come off the big board. Mays ability to play the Lynch role made famous in Tampa Bay compliments Ed Reeds skills perfectly.
26th Pick - Arizona Cardinals select: WR Golden Tate (Notre Dame)
It's not the deepest draft for receivers in 2010. Couple that with the loss of Boldin via a trade and the Cardinals unnecessarily surprise folks by reaching for another play maker on offense since their most highly rated linebackers are already off the board in this mock draft.
27th Pick - Dallas Cowboys select: OT Bruce Campbell (Maryland)
It's hard not to like someone so versatile that is the comic relief sidekick in the hit USA Network show "Burn Notice", as well as the star of the Evil Dead / Army of Darkness trilogy. He's even appeared in all three "Spiderman" movies. He was the wrestling ring announcer in the first movie, the annoying theatre usher in the sequel, and the annoying maitre d' in the French restaurant.
All kidding aside, Dallas takes the next rated tackle on the board to replace Adams at tackle.
28th Pick - San Diego Chargers select: NT Terrence Cody (Alabama)
The Chargers beef up the D-Line. Think about Gilbert Brown a little but younger.
29th Pick - New York Jets select: DE/LB Jerry Hughes (TCU)
Coach Rex Ryan gets another talented edge pass rusher to enter into his attacking defensive schemes.
30th Pick - Minnesota Vikings select: QB Colt McCoy (Texas)
The Vikings don't want to return to the vacuum at QB in a season without Brett Favre and address their QB issue.
31st Pick - Indianapolis Colts select: OT Rodger Saffold (Indiana)
Similar to the Patriots pick, the Colts need to ensure Manning has time to run the offense, as well as beef up the run blocking to ease the pressure off of Peyton Manning.
32nd Pick - New Orleans Saints select: LB Daryl Washington (TCU)
The Saints add some depth to a depleted linebacking group as the season wound down last season.
The Matt Ryan Express rolled on last year and picked up Tony Gonzalez for a nice ride with Roddy White and Michael Turner. Another weapon on offense would be great, but in a division with New Orleans a good defensive player could only help.
19th Pick: LB Sean Weatherspoon (Missouri)
He's an outside linebacker that can step right in and play. His ability to play in different roles should give the Falcons more depth and flexibility, as well as throw different schemes at New Orleans.
The Steelers would like to have an elite receiver fall to them after WR Holmes was traded away, but one doesn't exist this year. The road to the Super Bowl from the AFC involves weaving through a myriad of some of the NFL's best QB's and receivers. As a result, defenses need to find ways to force pressure on the QB or be able to cover receivers.
18th Pick: CB Joe Hayden (Florida)
The Steelers are delighted that the top corner in the draft fell so far and will find a receiver later in the draft.
San Francisco would have loved to have taken one of the top offensive tackles in the draft, but are pleased to have another offensive weapon in C.J. Spiller. Coach Mike Singletary can only have so many players to manage so taking more work than he has time for may continue to push OT Anthony Davis down the draft board.
Singletary knows the value of a good linebacker and with a top edge pass rusher still on the board balancing out his two first round draft picks with a top OLB would be a successful way to start day one of the draft.
17th Pick: OLB Sergio Kindle (Texas)
16th Pick: DE Jason Pierre-Paul (South Florida)
It's another poor year to need a receiver in the draft. Sure Kenny Britt developed nicely last season and hopefully for Tenn. fans he takes the next step this year because help won't be coming from their first round draft pick from the receiver position.
The most underrated coach in the NFL knows how to coach all types of players and always has a top defense. Coaching a raw talent and working him into a quality player suits the Titans coach Jeff Fisher well.
15th Pick: S Earl Thomas, (Texas)
The Giants have always had a strong front seven and now the defensive backfield gets some help. Whether Thomas is used as a corner or safety he can provide an immediate impact. The Giants could also eye Sergio Kindle LB for another edge pass rusher, but the need in the defensive backfield is stronger.
How many years have folks been saying Seattle really needs a LT to replace Walter Jones? Um yeah - so this year was no different in our mock draft as Jimmy Clausen was chosen with the 6th pick in the draft. The top three OTs are off the board and C.J. Spiller was taken already by San Francisco.
14th Pick: DE Derrick Morgan (Georgia Tech)
If G Lupati wasn't already taken, Seattle may have considered the top interior lineman to allow to folks forget the decision to let G Hutchinson leave for Minnesota. Derrick Morgan should help provide some pressure off the edge, as well as an insurance policy for Patrick Kerney.
