Much as I like Snead, I find it very hard to believe that he'll be the #1 pick next year. Bradford is a terrific NFL prospect and will have multiple years of high-end production under his belt.

I was suprised to see #1 as well. I do think he will be top 10 and the 2nd QB taken though behind Bradford. Though Snead has the tools really wow the combine people.

Yeah, but I think Bradford does as well. Both could go top 10, but I think Bradford having better career numbers and similar physical tools will keep him ahead of Snead.

While we're doing this, here's a Sports Illustrated 2010 mock draft.

 

Some notables:

 

Rams trade up for 1st pick and take Bradford.

Al Davis and the Raiders take Eric Berry with the 2nd pick.

Dan Snyder falls in love with and drafts Tim Tebow at 13.

The pick the Broncos got from the Bears is the #21 pick (which I believe means playoffs for Chicago).

The Titans take Jermaine Gresham, TE, Oklahoma (I really love this idea, I wanted him this year).

3 Alabama players and 4 Florida players go in the first round (13 SEC players total).

Oklahoma leads the way with 5 players taken.

Yeah the early mock-draft are really dumb, it's fine if someone wants to rank the top 50 players or something like that though, I think they are interesting. I mean nobody knows who will get injured, under perform, who has a break out year, what guys have great combine workouts and jump way up or the other way around, and the most important thing the NFL season hasn't started yet nobody knows how that's going to play out and who will finish where except the Raiders/Rams probably both being in the top 5 again. I mean last year before the season everyone was expecting the Dolphins and Falcons to win 6 games or less and they both ended up in the playoffs. Edited by Cubswin11

See, this is a problem. This pick would probably make too much sense. The Raiders would pass on Berry because he'll run one-tenth of a second too slow at the combine and instead take the guy who ran the fastest but is projected to be a low first/early second rounder.

 

You know, like they did this year.

I know it's cliche to say that way-early mock drafts are dumb, but it doesn't change the fact that they're still dumb.

 

You can't take them seriously. But it's still fun to look at - I think.

 

I just like it for the reason of seeing which players to really watch and what others think of them. I really like Dez Bryant next year, and am curious as to what scouts think.

That's why next season you should root for Berry to have an awesome combine and run really fast - that'll guarantee the Raiders pick him. :wink:

 

At the same time, I'll be hoping Berry decides to pull a Peyton Manning and return for his senior year. :pig:

Oh, and the percent chance of Al Davis drafting Tim Tebow a couple rounds too early solely because of his versatility and because he gets a woody thinking about Tebow and McFadden running the Wildcat is about 150 percent.

Yeah, they give you an idea who to watch early on. It's also interesting to look at them now and compare them to the ones that come out closer to the draft - a way of seeing how much some players' stocks have raised and how much some stocks have dropped.

Used properly, Tebow would make a fine 1st round pick. Especially if he works out next year with the numbers I expect him to.

if by properly you mean "team chaplain" then i agree 100 percent.

Too early to know what the 49ers will do. They will probably trade down from the No. 1 pick supplied by Carolina. It just costs too much money for the No. 1 pick. You also never know who they might get with their own first round pick at No. 32.

This draft will be freaking loaded.

 

that's why i laugh at teams that traded a first or second round pick in next year's draft for a worse pick in this year's draft.

 

The only thing really missing from next years draft is a stud RB so far. Murray could be one but seems fragile, and McKnight seems better suited for a 2 RB system.

 

I was also reading that next season is also an uncapped season, how will that make an impact on draft day.

I'm curious if a great season from Evan Royster and/or Stephon Green (PSU) would make either a Day One running back in the next draft. The history of PSU running backs in the NFL is not a good one

Which is why I'm not so sure that Snead won't stay for his senior year. He'd be in amongst a handful of good QB's if he came out next year. However, if he continues to stay hot for this season and his senior season, then he'd probably be the sure-fire no.1 pick in 2011.

Yeah, and both Murray and McKnight will be first rounders. CJ Spiller is a potential stud if he has a big year and runs a sub 4.4, ala Chris Johnson.

It could be uncapped, if there is no CBA. But I don't think that will affect the draft much, other than some teams perhaps being more willing to trade up.
