I just put up a mock draft yesterday for Colts Chronicle, which you can see by clicking here, but this one is going to be different. There were a lot of picks that I could have seen going one way or the other, and obviously one pick being changed has a trickle-down effect on the rest of the draft. With that said I’m going to use a first overall pick different from the one I started the CC mock draft with.
I will once again be using the vegasinsider.com’s odds on who will win Super Bowl XLV to determine the draft order. Bryan said as of right now he’d want the Rams to take AJ Green with the first pick. The mock draft is after the jump:
| Pick | Team | Player | Pos | School |
| 1 | St. Louis | AJ Green | WR | Georgia |
| 2 | Buffalo | Gabe Carimi | OT | Wisconsin |
| 3 | Detroit | Robert Quinn | DE | North Carolina |
| 4 | Tampa Bay | Julio Jones | WR | Alabama |
| 5 | New England (Via Oakland) | Adrian Clayborn | DE | Iowa |
| 6 | Kansas City | Dont’a Hightower | ILB | Alabama |
| 7 | Cleveland | Marcell Dareus | DE | Alabama |
| 8 | Jacksonville | Christian Ponder | QB | Florida State |
| 9 | Carolina | Stephen Paea | DT | Oregona State |
| 10 | Arizona | Prince Amukamara | CB | Nebraska |
| 11 | Denver | Kyle Rudolph | TE | Notre Dame |
| 12 | Seattle | Greg Romeus | DE | Pittsburgh |
| 13 | San Francisco | Patrick Peterson | CB | LSU |
| 14 | Houston | DeAndre McDaniel | S | Clemson |
| 15 | Philadelphia | Clint Boling | OT | Georgia |
| 16 | Chicago | Anthony Castonzo | OT | Boston College |
| 17 | Miami | Mark Ingram | RB | Alabama |
| 18 | Washington | Tyler Sash | S | Iowa |
| 19 | Tennessee | Ras-I Dowling | CB | Virginia |
| 20 | Cincinnati | Deunta Williams | S | North Carolina |
| 21 | Atlanta | Michael Floyd | WR | Notre Dame |
| 22 | Pittsburgh | Jerrell Powe | NT | Mississippi |
| 23 | N.Y. Giants | Akeem Ayers | MLB | UCLA |
| 24 | Baltimore | Joseph Barksdale | OT | LSU |
| 25 | N.Y. Jets | Cameron Heyward | DE | Ohio State |
| 26 | Green Bay | Ryan Williams | RB | Virginia Tech |
| 27 | Minnesota | Ryan Mallett | QB | Arkansas |
| 28 | New England | Von Miller | OLB | Texas A&M |
| 29 | San Diego | Jason Pinkston | OT | Pittsburgh |
| 30 | New Orleans | Travis Lewis | OLB | Oklahoma |
| 31 | Dallas | Stefen Wisniewski | C | Penn State |
| 32 | Indianapolis | Marvin Austin | DT | North Carolina |
Let me know what you think in the comments.

Man, this list is going to change fifty times before next years draft! Can’t say I disagree with your picks so far!
Haha. No doubt about it… it’s entirely too early for mock drafts, but for some reason I just love doing them, lol… I think it’s because it provides a challenge for both my knowledge of the NFL and college football.
Why wouldn’t the Rams trade down? A WR is a highly risky first pick.
Well, first off I don’t think they’re actually going to end up with the first overall pick, and second they probably would try to trade down, but would they be able to find anybody to trade with?
Also Jake Locker in the 2nd round?
If Arizona grabs Mallett earlier on in the draft then I could see the Vikings taking Locker… otherwise I see him dropping to the second.
…and the Bills would probably grab him.
Well Locker seems to be the number 1 QB currently to most experts so why would the Rams not trade with someone like the Bills
There are a few thing i don’t agree with but i must say there are a few of these picks/predictions that I absolutely love, like christian ponder to jax, i can defiantly see this happening and i like the placement of Tyler sash in the first round don’t see that much but i defiantly agree. overall very nice. only complaint I can’t see all 32 teams passing on locker but hell it’s the nfl you never know.
Why would th Broncos take a tight end? Havent we wasted enough early picks?
Quinn? BUST. In the end we traded a 1st rd pick for dan gronkowski, who wont be any good either. I would much rather see Denver take someone else. Dowling and Ingram could help, though Ingram doesnt fill any needs
