Neil's NFL mock 17-24


I don't know if it's possible to OD you on March Madness, but if so, we certainly don't want to be guilty of it. So I will keep trucking with my NFL Mock Draft...

17. San Francisco 49'ers - Trent Williams, OT Oklahoma. If the 2010 Draft plays out like the more recent ones, Williams will be long gone. The last couple of years have seen several OT's go in Round 1. But I just see too many teams with more pressing needs. With that said, San Fran gets themselves a very solid Tackle in Trent Williams.

18. Pittsburgh Steelers - Rolando McClain, ILB Alabama. You can never have enough good LBs in Dick LeBeau's defense. McClain is the clear cut #1 inside linebacker in this draft.

19. Atlanta Falcons - Sean Weatherspoon, OLB Missouri. Another BPA. The Dirty Birds would've went with a corner until they signed Dunta Robinson. Weatherspoon is solid and a very good OLB.

20. Houston Texans - Earl Thomas, S Texas. To win the AFC South, you have to beat the Colts. The Texans can't do this with their current secondary. Thomas is a fantastic player and would be an immediate upgrade.

21. Cincinnati Bengals - Mike Iupati, G Idaho. I really think Cincy should take Jermaine Gresham here. But this is a solid pick too. The Bengals need help on the O-line too, especially at Guard, which is where Iupati will be.

22. New England Patriots - Jermaine Gresham, TE Oklahoma. The Pats lost Ben Watson in free agency. Plus with Wes Welker suffering a bad injury late in the season, this will give Brady another great target to throw to.

23. Green Bay Packers - Kyle Wilson, CB Boise State. Kurt Warner absolutely humiliated the Packers secondary in the playoffs. Green Bay is a solid team but they must improve in this area.

24. Philadelphia Eagles - Anthony Davis, OT Rutgers. I've actually seen Anthony Davis in the Top 10 in some mock drafts. But as i've said before, we have seen so many OT's taken in Round 1 over the last 2-3 years that teams simply have more glaring needs. This is why I have Davis slipping so far. Andy Reid will be thrilled to get such a good player this late in the draft.
