2011 NFL Draft (Mocks, Eval, etc)

Florida S Will Hill will forgo his senior season to enter the 2011 NFL draft.
A former five-star recruit and the nation's consensus top safety entering college, Hill rotated with Major Wright in 2009 before taking over as a full-time player in 2010 and recording two interceptions. While he has plenty of talent and is well built for a safety at 6'1/207, Hill was ultimately a disappointment for the Gators. He was suspended two weeks in 2010 for violating team rules and struggled in coverage in the final 10 games.

In the pre-draft poking and prodding, the things an incoming rookie says can have as much impact on his eventual placement ? and payday ? as the things he does.

In declaring his intention to forgo his final year of eligibility at Auburn and head to the NFL, Fairley made an observation about his first NFL destination that some teams could view as a red flag.

Asked where he wants to play at the next level, Fairley said (via Chris Brown of BuffaloBills.com), ?It doesn't matter as long as it's not cold."

Um. Yeah.

Maybe he really didn?t mean it. Then again, maybe he did. Either way, the remark will surely be used by any interested team in assessing whether Fairley ?gets it? and/or whether he?ll bring a sense of entitlement to the NFL.

Kiper and Mcstupid's mock drafts...top 6 picks only unless you have a insider account that i pulled from a 49'rs website...so no write up for the browns

http://insider.espn.go.com/nfl/draf...011/insider/news/story?page=KiperMockDraft1.0
Kiper

1. Nick Fairley, DT
The No. 1 overall player on the Big Board, and one who can pay immediate dividends. Fairley isn't just a safe pick because of his excellent burst, violent hand action and ability to effectively penetrate and be a constant nuisance against both the run and pass; he also has the chance to be a dominant player regardless of system. Detroit and Tampa Bay drafted the top defensive tackles at Nos. 2 and 3 last year. Carolina should start earlier in 2011. A slight mean streak in a DT isn't the worst trait. Even Ndamukong Suh showed a bit of one this season.
2. Patrick Peterson, CB
Denver CB Champ Bailey is a future Hall of Famer, but he's a free agent entering his 13th NFL season and Peterson has the physical skills to be an immediate starter in the secondary and a force in the return game. Denver has enough needs where it could go several directions with this pick, but getting the best size-speed combo in the draft, a guy who can help immediately, is a smart play. Simply an electrifying talent.
3. Marcell Dareus, DE
Buffalo has started to assemble the pieces for its 3-4 defense and Dareus has outstanding pass-rush skills and fits as a defensive end in the system. This is too early to take an offensive tackle in terms of value, but it's a good opportunity to land an ideal fit if the Bills don't want to trade down. I'm sure some Bills fans would clamor for a guy like A.J. Green in this spot, but after 2010 the Bills simply have to address the lines, and the development of Stevie Johnson limits the receiver need anyway.
4. Da'Quan Bowers, DE
Rookie Carlos Dunlap came on late for the Bengals and finished with 9.5 sacks, but the chance to draft the best pure pass-rusher on the board and immediately have in place a more formidable pass rush is too much to pass up. Bowers has the skill-set, explosiveness and relentless pass-rushing skills of a No. 1 overall pick. He's a good value, even at No. 4.
5. Blaine Gabbert, QB
The Cardinals were a mess at quarterback in 2010, and while Max Hall and John Skelton showed glimpses, both are projects, and there's no real solution in place for next season outside of a trade. Gabbert will be under the microscope during the testing process perhaps more than any other player, but at this stage he's the most NFL-ready QB in the draft. Arizona is in a tough spot: If the Cardinals pass on Gabbert, there won't be a QB who can do more for them sooner than Skelton or Hall later in the draft. Gabbert offers a strong arm, protoype size, reads the game well and has a lot of upside.
6. A.J. Green, WR

Mcstupid

1. Da'Quan Bowers, DE
The Panthers made no secret of the fact that they would draft Stanford QB Andrew Luck if he were available, but with Luck off the board they turn their attention to their need for a pass-rusher. Bowers is the best available with his explosiveness, and he also has the strength to hold the edge against the run.
2. Nick Fairley, DT
Denver needs to overhaul its defensive front, and while new coach John Fox has not yet named a defensive coordinator, Fairley has the versatility to play in a 3-4 or 4-3 front. Fairley is quick, disruptive and plays with an edge, and he could not be blocked by one man during the college season.
3. Blaine Gabbert, QB
The Bills are in need of a franchise quarterback, and with Luck not on the board, Gabbert is the best available signal-caller. He has the physical tools and football smarts to become a very good NFL QB once he makes the full transition to a pro-style offense.
4. A.J. Green, WR
The Bengals need to find the heir apparent to Carson Palmer at some point but won't find him in this scenario. With Terrell Owens and Chad Ochocinco likely on their way out of town, Green would be an ideal replacement. He is very smooth for his size and plays the ball better than any receiver in the 2011 class.
5. Patrick Peterson, CB
Another team with a quarterback need but no signal-caller worthy of its pick available, the Cardinals turn their attention to their next-biggest need. Peterson has a freakish combination of size and athleticism, plays the ball well and can also contribute in the return game.

6. Robert Quinn, DE

i like getting AJ Green in kipers if Fairley, Dareus, Bowers and Patterson are all goners...Mcstupid's draft i hate this pick...im not high on quinn especially after missing the entire year with suspension...unless everyone says at the combine he is the best player in the draft then thats the only way i like him here at 6
