NFL Mock Draft Part 3

11. Jacksonville Jaguars

Tim Tebow, QB, Florida

Although Tebow might not be the best pick at this spot, even if he has come around at the Senior Bowl, the Jaguars need him if they want to stay in Florida. It's sad that the growth of a team is not always what's best, especially when on the verge of relocation. Right now the Jags need a high-profile pick, and grabbing Tebow, already a big name in Florida, will help out their situation. I'm still leery as to whether or not Tebow's game will translate to the NFL. I think on a team like Miami that will run a wildcat offense consistently, he will be a great fit. That's if he can stay healthy, the kid isn't afraid of contact but has to remember to protect his arm.


12. Miami Dolphins

Dan Williams, DT, Tennessee

I think if the Fins have a shot at McClain they will be happy to take him over Williams, but their main priority this draft is definitely defense. There are other options here for sure, Dunlap, Griffen, Morgan (a stretch), or Odrick, who is making some waves at the Senior Bowl, but Williams is a good replacement for Ferguson, who is getting up there in years. I don't see the Dolphins going for a wide receiver here, like Golden Tate, but these things do happen.


13. San Fransisco 49ers

Trent Williams, OT, Oklahoma

This pick simply fills a need the 49ers have, and the other options here are iffy. San Fran doesn't need a lot of help at running back, so top RB prospect Spiller will probably fall down to the Seahawks. The 49ers may also pick one of the many defensive ends still left, like Dunlap or Griffen, or maybe even cornerback Earl Thomas, but with San Fran's need for a right tackle, Willimas will be difficult to pass up and hope he's still around for the sixteenth pick.




14. Seattle Seahawks

C.J. Spiller, RB, Clemson

It's hard not to pick Spiller this late in the draft, especially when the team is in need of one. He'll be a steal at 14, but Seattle will have to use both of their first round picks or offensive players if all goes according to what I've outlined. It'll be a tough call for Seattle, and you may see a trade here with someone who has their eye on Spiller, but I really think having the chance to snatch up both Bradford and Spiller will be too good to pass on.


15. New York Giants

15. Derrick Morgan, DE, Georgia Tech

The Giants will find it hard to pass on Derrick Morgan at this stage in the draft and they need to bolster their defensive core. Morgan will fall this far as he plays in a 4-3 defense and a lot of teams are using a 3-4 on a regular basis these days. Morgan will fit in with the Giants and will bring a strong presence on the end. He's looked a little slow at the Senior Bowl, but still showing flashes of what made him the top ranked defensive end this past year. The Giants will certainly have tons of options at this point, but Morgan might be too good of an investment to pass up.
