Pre-Season 2010 Mock Draft 23-32

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, lets finish strong as we present the last 10 teams who will be on the clock come April, so without further delay, here are the final 10 potential 2010 draft selections.

23. San Francisco 49ers (from Carolina) - Bryan Bulaga, OT Iowa

Joe Staley is athletic and if he can make strides after his contract extension and become a better LT and then Bulaga comes in and mans the right side, the San Francisco offensive line could potentially be a strength instead of a weakness. Bulaga is a big, mean and nasty offensive lineman from Iowa known for producing quality football players.

24. Denver Broncos (from Chicago) - Terrence Cody, DT Alabama

The Broncos need a space eating NT and Cody falls right into their laps. A no brainer as far as I am concerned but you never know what McDaniels might do.

25. Tennessee Titans - Rolando McClain, LB Alabama

MLB, DE or CB. Best player at any of those positions available is the pick and McClain is the best and fills the MLB need where Stephen Tulloch could use some competition.

26. Philadelphia Eagles - Brandon Graham, DE Michigan

Few needs so Andy Reid goes back to his usual mantra of loading up on the offensive and defensive lines and considering the next best pass rusher on the team is Darren Howard slated to play inside and out in a rotation role, a guy like Graham could be very useful as a LDE to stop the run and rush the passer opposite Trent Cole.

27. Indianapolis Colts - Brandon LaFell, WR LSU

The Colts always decide to go offense instead of defense in the first round and with only one worthwhile receiver left on the board I think the Colts grab the tough blocking, clutch catching and dynamic wide receiver from LSU in Brandon LaFell.

28. San Diego Chargers - Trent Williams, OT Oklahoma

Jeromey Clary is a horrible RT and Marcus McNeil is due a contract extension soon, another OT would be a nice insurance policy incase one or both of the aforementioned becomes a serious problem for the Chargers. Not to mention Williams could have been the first Oklahoma lineman taken had he come out in 2009.

29. New York Giants - Javier Arenas, CB Alabama

Rich get richer, the Giants have few needs and may look for a pass rusher or cornerback, they get the amazing Javier Areans who is a stellar corner and probably the number one return man in the game, he'll start on special teams and contribute immediately as a dime or nickel cornerback.

30. Baltimore Ravens - Golden Tate, WR Notre Dame

The Ravens were looking for a receiver in the last draft, albeit a veteran one like Anquan Boldin, but a guy like Golden Tate has to appeal to them. One of the more underrated receivers in the game and he could come on like gangbusters and overtake some of the second tier first rounds like LaFell or Williams.

31. New England Patriots - Sergio Kindle, DE/LB Texas

Rich get richer again, pass rush beast goes to a team that loves versatility from their linebackers.

32. Pittsburgh Steelers - Kristofer O'Dowd, C/G USC

Steelers need a new center, Hartwig wasn't holding up well in pass protection and isn't fast enough for the ZBS that will be implemented by the Steelers. O'Dowd will be a welcome addition to the defending champs in the Gold and Black.
