Pre-Season 2010 Mock Draft 12-22

Hey ADF Readers, it is now time for Matty's pre-NCAA and pre-NFL season Mock Draft for 2010 NFL Entry Draft. Thanks to Dunn's Power Rankings that I will be using as the draft order, now it is time for teams 12-22 who will be on the clock come April, so without further delay, here are the next 11 potential 2010 draft selections.

12. New York Jets - Ciron Black, OT LSU

The New York Jets don't have many needs going into the 2010 season and probably even less going into the 2011 season if Gholston, Sheppard and the other draft and free agent acquisitions pan out. At this point, they grab the best player available and that is OT Ciron Block who could kick inside to guard or be a solid RT to replace Damien Woody.

13. Washington Redskins - Everson Griffin, DE USC

This pick makes no sense based on the fact the Redskins drafted Orakpo, but what makes even less sense is the decision to use Orakpo as a linebacker instead of defensive end and considering defensive end is one of their biggest concerns, it would be silly for them not to draft one. Everson Griffin is who I believe will be the second end off the board after an impressive junior campaign and hopefully the Skins keep him at defensive end.

14. Houston Texans - Trevard Lindley, CB Kentucky

The Texans have few needs on either side of the ball, especially on offense, but they really could use upgrades in the defensive backfield and getting the best corner in the draft at this point is a huge gain for the Texans. Though they could go DT with a guy like Arthur Jones, Marvin Austin or even Terrence Cody, I think CB is a bigger need, especially with the future of Dunta Robinson up in the air.

15. Seattle Seahawks - Dez Bryant, WR Oklahoma State

Two selections in the top 15 should get the Seahawks back to dominating the NFC West. They need a dominant possession wide receiver and Dez Bryant is that player, combine him with Houshyamomma and the Seahawks will have a much more potent passing attack. This selection could also be a running back or quarterback, like C.J. Spiller or Colt McCoy but Bryant is too good to pass up here, the other WR possibility is Damian Williams from USC.

16. Green Bay Packers - Joe Haden, CB Florida

Charles Woodson and Al Harris are aging, Patrick Lee, Tramon Williams and Will Blackman don't have much game time experience and Joe Haden is a freaky athletic cornerback who is more physical then his size would indicate. Not to mention Ted Thompson loves going BPA and Haden could easily fit that bill.

17. New Orleans Saints - Greg Hardy, DE Ole Miss

Once Will Smith and Charles Grant serve their star caps suspension, the Saints will realise just how thin at DE they really are and that is where they should focus their attention in the 2010 draft. Defensive end and defensive tackle, though they could go Terrence Cody to give the front four that Minnesota feeling with an active 3-tech (Ellis) and an immovable 1-tech (Cody), I think Hardy provides more value with what the Saints are going to do with new DC Gregg Williams at the helm.

18. Dallas Cowboys - Damian Williams, WR USC

Romo needs guys to throw to, plain and simple. Williams is the best available if he declares, Golden Tate follows closely if Williams goes back for another year.

19. Miami Dolphins - Brandon Spikes, LB Florida

Dolphins need a stalwhart inside next to Crowder, preferably someone more active and Spikes is a very active backer and will make the necessary big plays for Tony Sporano and Bill Parcells, Terrence Cody is also a possibility to replace Ferguson at NT but I think Cody may slide a bit much like Michigan DT Alan Branch did some years ago.

20. Atlanta Falcons - Sean Weatherspoon, LB Missouri

Coy Wire starts at WLB. Nuff' said.

21. Minnesota Vikings - Tim Tebow, QB/ATH Florida

If the Favre experiment doesn't work out then I believe King Tebow will be the next logical choice for the Vikings to try and get to a super bowl. He may not have the arm, accuracy and stereotypical starting QB look but Tebow wins games in the clutch, put him together with Peterson, Harvin, Berrian and Rice and their offensive line, the Vikings should hopefully live up to the hype.

22. Arizona Cardinals - Jermaine Gresham, TE Oklahoma

The Cardinals need a consistent tight end threat, they have not gotten much from Leonard Pope, Ben Patrick will be spending some time riding the pine because of a substance abuse violation and add in terrible acquisitions like Domonique Byrd and Anthony Becht and I think Gresham becomes even more appealing as a vertical threat.
