It's Draft Day!

The first round of the 2010 National Football League Draft will be held this evening, and like every year, it's one of my most anticipated days of the calendar year.

I love drafts. I watch the NFL, NHL and NBA drafts every year, and would likely watch the baseball one as well if I could. There's a sports talk station in Buffalo I listen to that shares my love of the drafting process, and has aired such events as an Actor Draft, Country Draft and Channel Draft. More compelling radio has never been aired.

I thought long and hard about whether or not to be Mock Draft Guy and post my own Mock Draft, and after much debate, opted to. Without further ado, here goes nothing!

1. St. Louis Rams select Oklahoma QB Sam Bradford
2. Detroit Lions pick Nebraska DT Ndamukong Suh
3. Tampa Bay Buccaneers will choose Oklahoma DT Gerald McCoy
4. Washington Redskins take Oklahoma OT Trent Williams
5. Kansas City Chiefs pick Alabama ILB Rolando McClain
6. Seattle Seahawks will select Oklahoma State OT Russell Okung
7. Cleveland Browns choose Tennessee S Eric Berry
8. Oakland Raiders select some guy whose career will suck, I mean Maryland OT Bruce Campbell
9. Buffalo Bills will pick Notre Dame QB Jimmy Clausen
10. Jacksonville Jaguars take Georgia Tech DE Derrick Morgan
11. Denver Broncos will take Oklahoma State WR Dez Bryant
12. Miami Dolphins select Tennessee DT Dan Williams
13. San Francisco 49ers pick Iowa OT Bryan Baluga
14. Seattle Seahawks choose Clemson RB C.J. Spiller
15. New York Giants will pick South Florida DE Jason Pierre-Paul
16. Tennessee Titans select USC DE Everson Griffin
17. San Francisco 49ers take Florida CB Joe Haden
18. Pittsburgh Steelers choose Idaho G Mike Iupati
19. Atlanta Falcons will take Michigan DE Brandon Graham
20. Houston Texas take Fresno State RB Ryan Matthews
21. Cincinnati Bengals take Texas FS Earl Thomas
22. New England Patriots pick Oklahoma TE Jermaine Gresham
23. Green Bay Packers take Boise State CB Kyle Wilson
24. Philadelphia Eagles select USC FS Taylor Mays
25. Baltimore Ravens will pick Penn State DE/DT Jared Odrick
26. Arizona Cardinals select Texas DE Sergio Kindle
27. Dallas Cowboys take Rutgers Florida G/C Mauricke Pouncey
28. San Diego Chargers will nab Rutgers CB Devin McCourty
29. New York Jets select UCLA D Brian Price
30. My beloved Minnesota Vikings take Alabama CB Kareem Jackson
31. Indianapolis Colts will pick Alabama DT Terrence Cody
32. New Orleans Saints pick Missouri OLB Sean Weatherspoon

So there we go, my best guess at what will happen tonight. I doubt anything that happens in New York will look anything like this list, especially with the inevitable trades expected, but what the hell. It's all for fun, which means no wagering!
