Updated 3 Round Mock

With all the Free Agency Moves, here is an updated mock:

1. Miami Dolphins – Chris Long, DE, Virginia

Dolphins would consider trading down if they had the right offer, but Long is the perfect pick in Sparano’s 34 defense if they remain.

2. St. Louis Rams – Jake Long, OL, Michigan

Time to find a replacement for Orlando Pace. Meet Jake Long.

3. Atlanta Falcons – Matt Ryan, QB, Boston College

The Falcons need QB help and Ryan is the top QB. McFadden would be considered, but Ryan is the premier QB and second round won't provide immediate help, whereas it might with RBs.

4. Oakland Raiders – Darren McFadden, RB, Arkansas

With his speed and production, Al Davis can't resist.

5. Kansas City Chiefs – Ryan Clady, OL, Boise

Needs all over the place for the Chiefs. Offensive line is definitely very high on the list and they were hoping Jake Long would get to them. The Chiefs could probably have any of the second tier tackles 10 picks later, so trading down, especially with McFadden on the board, is a possibility.

6. New York Jets – Sedrick Ellis, DT, USC

The big nose tackle will be a good fit for the Jets.

7. New England Patriots – Leodis McKelvin, CB, Troy

Two CB starters are gone and the process of replacing them starts here.

8. Baltimore Ravens – Brian Brohm, QB, Louisville

Defensive help could be used, but the QB issue is urgent for the RAvens, for whom Troy Smith isn't the answer. A strong combine should solidify this pick.

9. Cincinnati Bengals – Vernon Gholston, DL/OLB, Ohio St

Free agency saw some big improvements on defense and Gholston becomes the latest.

10. New Orleans Saints – Mike Jenkins, CB, USF

Defense is where the holes are for the Saints. Cornerback is a primary need and the Saints can get a top CB.

11. Buffalo Bills – Malcom Kelly, WR, Oklahoma

Another target for the Bills passing game is a must here. A CB could also be useful.

12. Denver Broncos – Glen Dorsey, DT, LSU

It is astonishing to see Dorsey still here at this spot. With the FA moves and Baltimore needing a QB, a 4-3 DT falls to here.

13. Carolina Panthers – Keith Rivers, LB, USC

Panthers would seriously consider one of the Top 3 QB’s here, but in this mock, they go for a top LB to add to the unit.

14. Chicago Bears - Limas Sweed, WR, Texas

Bears still looking for a franchise QB, but with Brohm off the board, there isn't a likely pick. Look for them to go for Henne in the second round. Instead they need a WR and without Berrian they need Sweed who is a dependable guy.

15. Detroit Lions – Chris Williams, OL, Vanderbilt

CB would be a chance here, but the OL needs work.

16. Arizona Cardinals – Rashard Mendenhall, RB, Illinois

Unsure if they will keep Edge around with his cap number, the Cards need a viable alternative. Mendenhall is an every down back and in a Whisenhunt system should start as a rookie.

17. Minnesota Vikings – Derrick Harvey, DE, Florida

Defensive End is a need spot for the Vikings, along with LB. Look for the Vikes to address Defensive End early.

18. Houston Texans – Felix Jones, RB, Arkansas

A RB here is a perfect fit of best player and need. WR is also a chance.

19. Philadelphia Eagles – DeSean Jackson, WR, Cal

The Eagles need another WR target and Jackson is a big play guy at WR and returning.

20. Tampa Bay Buccaneers – Dan Connor, LB, Penn State

Connor should be an immediate contributor to the Bucs. Don't discount a RB here.

21. Washington Redskins – Quentin Groves, DE, Auburn

A pass rusher is the likely option, but the Redskins need to replace the departed Sean Taylor, and Kenny Phillips could be a candidate there, but the speedy pass rusher gets the nod after an oustanding combine workout.

22. Dallas Cowboys – Mario Manningham, WR, Michigan

Terry Glenn and TO are getting old and have had their injury problems. Manningham heads to Texas as Romo’s new favourite target.

23. Pittsburgh Steelers – Brandon Albert, OL, Virginia

The aging Steelers OLine struggled this past season as evidenced by the Jags domination. Time to bring in some youth.

24. Tennessee Titans – Phillip Merling, DE, Clemson

WR could also be an option here, but a first round pass rusher should add plenty to the Titans who are likely to have high turnover at the position.

25. Seattle Seahawks – Jonathon Stewart, RB, Oregon

TE could be an option here, but Shaun Alexander is aging and here is a chance to draft his replacement, the standout runner from the Pac-10.

28. Jacksonville Jaguars – Kentwan Balmer, DT, North Carolina

D Line depth was a problem last year and Balmer is a need pick with Stroud gone. A DE could be considered here.

27. San Diego Chargers – Kenny Phillips, S, Miami

Not too many huge needs for the Chargers. More speed and athleticism would help greatly and Phillips will be an eventual upgrade to the secondary.

28. Dallas Cowboys – Dominique Rodgers-Cromartie, CB, Tennesse St

If one of the top RB's falls to them, look for them to make them the choice. Instead, it is a Safety or CB need, so the Cowboys go CB with the small school star, with a move for Anthony Henry to Safety.

29. San Francisco 49'ersJames Hardy, WR, Indiana

The Niners get a great hands guy and a big target WR for whoever is QB.

30. Green Bay Packers – Fred Davis, TE, USC

The pack missed a reliable TE target and with Bubba Franks gone, here is the chance. A WR or RB could also be a chance here, but could be had next round.

*31 New England Patriots – Pick forfeited due to Spygate

32. New York Giants – Aqib Talib, CB, Kansas

CB is a big need and the Giants get a return guy as well to potentially take over from RW McQuarters.
