Mock Draft 2.0

Updated; Monday, January 25, 2010

ndamukong_suh.jpg1. St. Louis- Ndamakung Suh, DT 
Quarterback would be a logical choice here, but the Rams rank in the bottom five against the run. Steve Spagnuolo won't pass on Suh's ability to make the whole defense better.

2. Detroit- Russell Okung, OT
Detroit never really upgraded the position last year and it showed. Okung is a no brainer.

3. Tampa Bay- Eric Berry, S
The Buccaneers look like they've found an answer at left tackle with Donald Penn. Eric Berry is already familiar with the cover 2 after working with Monte Kiffen; Berry immediately becomes the best player on defense.

4. Washington- Jimmy Clausen, QB
Mike Shanahan will want a quarterback and Clausen has all the tools to be a long term answer. He has never missed a game due to injury and played in a pro style system.
 

5. Kansas City- Rolondo McClain, MLB This gives the Chiefs an experienced 3-4 middle linebacker who is clearly at the top of this year's linebacker class. McClain is tough, quick, physical, and plays hard on every
snap.

Tebow To Play In Senior Bowl

One thing Tim Tebow has never backed down from is a challenge. The Florida Gators quarterback has decided to play in the Under Armour Senior Bowl the last week of January in Mobile, Ala., according to sources.

Tebow will play quarterback for the South team, which will be coached by the Miami Dolphins' staff.

The Senior Bowl is closely scrutinized by personnel directors and coaches from all 32 NFL teams. Tebow has received a wide range of conflicting evaluations for his potential as an NFL quarterback. Even though many personnel men have told ESPN he will struggle in the league if he plays quarterback, at least a half-dozen general managers or coaches say he not only will be successful as a pro quarterback, but also likely to be chosen in the first round.

Two NFL sources, a coach and a GM, said Tebow's performance in the Allstate Sugar Bowl was another strong endorsement in his favor. In that game, Tebow completed 31 of 35 passes for 482 yards and three touchdowns to lead the Gators against Cincinnati to cap a career that included a Heisman Trophy and two national titles.

QB Snead Going Pro
qb_snead.jpgMississippi quarterback Jevan Snead is going pro, skipping his senior season to enter the NFL draft after leading the Rebels to their best back-to-back seasons in nearly four decades.

Snead, considered a top prospect, made the announcement Thursday in a news release issued by the university.

"The fans, coaches and my teammates at Ole Miss have been unbelievable, and I want to thank them for an incredible experience," Snead said. "In the end, I had to do what is best for me and my family. Having finished my degree, I look forward to the challenge and hard work that comes with pursuing my dream of playing quarterback in the NFL."

Neither Snead nor Ole Miss coach Houston Nutt were available for comment.

The Stephenville, Texas, native was a top high school prospect and was hailed as something of a savior when he transferred from Texas three seasons ago. He largely delivered.

His decision comes after leading the Rebels (9-4) to a 21-7 win over Oklahoma State for Ole Miss' second straight Cotton Bowl victory. The win marked the first time the Rebels had back-to-back nine-win seasons since the 1961-62 seasons and consecutive January bowl wins since 1960-61.

What's Next For Tim Tebow?

tim_tebow.jpgTim Tebow has had a brilliant four year career at the University of Florida. During that timespan he has won two national championships, a Heisman Trophy, owns a slew of NCAA and SEC records, and has 34 wins in 40 games (one left) as the starting quarterback. He very well could be the best player in NCAA history.

"It's amazing to see everywhere we go, he's booed" said Kirk Herbstreit. "But you could not handpick a better person to be the face of this sport."

Part of what makes Tebow a great face for the sport of football is his commitment and priorities outside of the sport. Tim Tebow isn't your ordinary 22 year old superstar college quarterback. It has been widely reported in the past that Tebow spends a good portion of his summers on mission trips to the Philippines, working in orphanages and medical clinics. But even more surprising is that he continues to do this type of work during the semester, choosing to visit inmates at a Florida prison during his free time. His hope is that he can encourage these men by sharing the gospel message, that no matter who you are or what you've done, there is forgiveness, change, and freedom through faith in Jesus Christ. "How much more important in life is it to finish strong?" Tebow asked a group. "You may not have had a good first, second, or third quarter, but you can still finish strong in life."

"The unselfishness of his mission outside of college football is unparalleled" said Florida head coach Urban Meyer. "It's almost like selflessness is a cool thing, kids realizing to give back, and if you can brighten someone's day, you do it."

Spiller OK With No Heisman

cj_spiller_rb.jpgC.J. Spiller said he had no regrets though a trip to New York might have been a nice reward after his record-setting season at Clemson University.

Five players, including two who will face off for the national championship, were selected Heisman Trophy finalists.

Spiller was not.

“I certainly wanted to make it to New York for the Heisman presentation. It would have been great for this football program and Clemson University in general,” Spiller said Monday in a prepared statement.

Spiller set or tied 31 school, conference and national records for offense and scoring during his career at Clemson and was voted 2009 Atlantic Coast Conference player of the year. He returned for his final season of eligibility after weighing the merits of entering the 2009 NFL draft.

“I have done the best I could in every game,” said Spiller, who was studying for his final exam and asked not to be disturbed. He will graduate Dec. 17. “I have no regrets.”

Locker Could Be #1 QB Selected

Jake Locker has taken the first step.

Where that leads him, nobody knows.

The University of Washington’s junior quarterback could be in St. Louis next year, he could be in Cleveland, or he could be playing one final season at Husky Stadium.

While Locker applied with the NFL Draft Advisory Board on Monday, thereby putting his name out there to gauge where he might be taken should he come out for the 2010 draft, he is no closer to leaving school early than he was over the weekend.

“It’s natural. That was easy,” UW head coach Steve Sarkisian said with a shrug when telling reporters Tuesday that Locker had applied with the advisory board.

Sarkisian went one step further when he said that he was “very optimistic” that Locker would return to the Huskies next fall. But when asked what he meant by that, Sarkisian said he has no inside information.

“That’s just the way I think,” he said during his end-of-the-year press conference. “It’s just the kind of guy I am. (The glass is) half-full, not half-empty.”

Locke Weighing Draft Options

Kentucky junior running back Derrick Locke has submitted paperwork to the NFL Draft Advisory Board to get an idea of his prospects for the 2010 draft, Coach Rich Brooks said Friday.

The 5-foot-9, 190-pound Locke overcame a devastating knee injury suffered midway through the 2008 season to rank second in the SEC in all-purpose yards at 150.9 per game this season.

Locke led UK in rushing with 843 yards, caught 25 passes for 254 yards and led the SEC and ranked eighth nationally in kickoff returns with a 29.6-yard average.

Brooks said Locke is the only UK underclassman who is testing his draft status. Last year UK underclassmen Trevard Lindley, Micah Johnson and Jeremy Jarmon had their draft status evaluated before ultimately staying in school. Jarmon was later ruled ineligible by the NCAA for testing positive for a banned substance.

2010 Top 50 Prospects
1. Eric Berry, S, Tennesse
     -He can do it all: Play the zone, nickel corner, tackle, and blitz as well as anyone in the 
      NFL at his position.
 
2. Ndamakung Suh, DT, Nebraska
     -If the Incredible Hulk was a defensive tackle, his name would be Ndamakung Suh.
      Tremendous strength at the point of attack.
 
3. Russell Okung, OT, Oklahoma St.
     -Technique sound with no glaring weakness, Okung should be the first LT taken.
 
4. Sam Bradford, QB, Oklahoma
     -Despite a season ending injury, Bradford's ability to process information and diagnose
      a defense is as good as it gets.
 
5. Trent Williams, OT, Oklahoma
     -Outstanding in pass protection. Williams should be off the board early.
Berry Likely Leaving Tenn?
A day after winning the Thorpe Award as the nation's top defensive back, Tennessee junior All-America safety Eric Berry said he's thinking about leaving the Vols following the Chick-fil-A Bowl and entering the NFL Draft. The Fairburn, Ga., native is widely considered a top five prospect for the 2010 draft.

"Right now, I'm kind of leaning towards leaving, but I still want to make sure just to get some other opinions about it," said Berry. "I've talked to Jerod Mayo, Jason Allen, a lot of guys. Just talking to people who have been in that situation. I'm just trying to get as much feedback as I can."

Berry said he also talk with his head coach and defensive coordinator to explore all of his options.
Ingram Wins Heisman

Heisman race ever, Alabama running back Mark Ingram beat Stanford’s Toby Gerhart by five first place votes to win the 2009 Heisman Trophy. Ingram received 227 first place votes and a total of 1,304 points while Gerhart received 222 first place votes and 1,276 total points. Texas quarterback Colt McCoy finished third, Nebraska defensive tackle Ndamukong Suh finished fourth and Florida quarterback Tim Tebow finished fifth.

Ingram is the first Heisman winner from the University of Alabama. This season Ingram led the Crimson Tide to a perfect 12-0 record including a trip to the BCS National Title game against Texas Jan. 7.

Ingram ran for 1,542 yards, complied 1,864 all-purpose yards and scored 18 touchdowns this season. He rushed for 825 yards and six touchdowns in Alabama’s five games against top 25 foes, averaging 165 yards per game against Virginia Tech, Mississippi, South Carolina, LSU and Florida. Against Florida in the SEC championships game he ran for 113 yards and three touchdowns leading the Tide to a 32-13 victory.
