AB's Monthly Mock: November shows no love to Locker

1. Buffalo (0-7) Andrew Luck
 (Need a franchise QB, simply put. Best QB prospect in the 2011 Draft)

2. Dallas (1-6) Patrick Peterson 
(secondary problems at the safety and cornerback level; Peterson's versatility will cover some of Dallas' glaring weaknesses on D)

3. Carolina (1-6) A.J. Green 
(Jimmy Clausen was drafted as a franchise QB; with Steve Smith often injured, Clausen needs young weapon)

4. San Francisco (2-6) Prince Amukamara 
(secondary problems in San Fran can be put to rest with this pick)

5. Denver (2-6) Robert Quinn
(freakish athlete who could start across Elvis Dumerville, creating the most fearsome pass rush in NFL)

6. Minnesota (2-5) Janoris Jenkins 
(aging secondary in Minnesota with Antoine Winfield; instant impact)

7. Detroit (2-5) Adrian Clayborn
 (best available player will play alongside Suh, centerpieces of the future for the Detroit Lions)

8. Cincinnati (2-5) Stephen Paea
 (Need 3-4 NT plug, Paea is as strong as an Ox and a prototypical NT; something tough to find nowadays)

9. Cleveland (2-5) Da’Quan Bowers 
(3-4 DE, immediate starter in Cleveland's weak front seven)

10. San Diego (3-5) Akeem Ayers 
(Shawn Merriman replacement; a better athlete and more fluid in coverage, Ayers should be perfect fit. Don't be surprised if Von Miller is taken here instead)

11. Arizona (3-4) Ryan Mallet 
(Need an arm that can sit in pocket and distribute to WR weapons; Can also see them drafting an OT as Faneca is aging and on contract yr)

12. St. Louis (4-4) Marcel Dareus
(Offense is ripe with talent, could see them draft Julio Jones here, but there are other options for RD 2. Dareus provides strength to a below average front seven)

13. New England - from Oakland (4-4) Mark Ingram
(Best pro RB prospect, former Heisman winner, should be an instant contributor)

14. Washington (4-4) Julio Jones 
(Badly in need of strong, young talent at the receiver position. Very physical receiver)

15. Jacksonville (4-4) Derek Sherrod
(Need to solidify line, Sherrod is most complete tackle prospect in the draft.)

16. Chicago (4-3) Nick Fairley
 (Missing a interior defensive force, Tommie Harris hasn't performed up to expectations. Fairley is dominant and will be a strong contributor)

17. Philadelphia (4-3) Bruce Carter
 (lack of talent at OLB will lead to a somewhat reach by the Eagles . Carter is an excellent playmaker)

18. Miami (4-3) Kyle Rudolph 
(losing Anthony Fasano to FA and Parcells likes Notre Dame prospects; best TE prospect in draft. Don't be surprised if they draft a playmaking RB, like JaQuizz Rodgers or Ryan Williams if they declare)

19. Houston (4-3) Ryan Kerrigan 
(will immediately start opposite M. Williams, one of the high upside players in my opinion, Kerrigan is a very intriguing prospect and is flying up The3-4's weekly Big Board)

20. Tennessee (5-3) Demarcus Love
(aging line; Demarcus Love provides depth and versatility, as he has started at nearly every singly O-Line position)

21. Seattle* (4-3) Gabe Carimi 
(road grading lineman, shores up RT position, further solidifying a young O-line. Best run blocking lineman in the draft)

22. Green Bay* (5-3) Demarco Murray
(playmaking RB who can be instant impact; receiving threat will make him intriguing talent. Could open up the playbook for Aaron Rodgers as he has never had a pass-catching running back in his tenure at GB)

23. Kansas City* (5-2) Von Miller 
(3-4 rush OLB start opposite Tamba Hali; Chiefs D looking strong)

24. Pittsburgh* (5-2) Marvin Austin 
(old d-line, revamp of talent beginning with Austin. Tomlin will whip him into shape and straighten out his character concerns)

25. New Orleans* (5-3) Cameron Heyward
(best run defending lineman available, Heyward is strong at the POA. Upside as good as anyone in the draft, has physical tools to succeed)

26. New York Jets* (5-2) Cameron Jordan 
(most explosive and disruptive player left on the board, Jordan can fit into any scheme but is perfect fit in Rex Ryan's 3-4 as a DE)

27. Tampa Bay* (5-2) Rodney Hudson 
(versatility and football IQ; Tampa Bay can build around a guy like Hudson for the future. Young football team, like the Chiefs, with lots of promise)

28. Baltimore* (5-2) Nate Solder 
(similarly built to Ogden of Ravens past, 6ft 9in 315 lbs; RT prospect who can add depth to a injury riddled line)

29. Atlanta* (5-2) Rahim Moore 
(ball hawking safety who will be an immediate start in a weak Falcons secondary)

30. Indianapolis* (5-2) Daniel Thomas 
(workhorse back who will take backfield over; soft hands will allow him to steal 3rd down carries his rookie yr)

31. New York Giants* (5-2) Allen Bailey 
(Talented player, similar to Jason Pierre Paul, a guy Giants reached for last season)

32. New England* (6-1) Jon Baldwin 
(vertical threat, who very well may be the most talented wr in draft. Randy Moss replacement)

Mock Draft v11

Terrell Owens to the Rams?

Bengals?  Right now, it looks like it will be one of the two.  The Rams certainly have a pressing need at WR, and no one would be happier about a TO signing than Rookie QB Sam Bradford.  The Rams currently have Donnie Avery (47 catches in '09) and Keenan Burton (25 catches) as their top two receivers, and the addition of a veteran like Terrell Owens would bolster their passing attack and help Bradford develop, but does TO want to join an offense that ranked 32nd in scoring with just over 10 points a game last year?  Do the Bengals really need another problem child wide receiver?  I can't imagine TO and Ochocinco getting along and splitting touches... It would just hurt their egos too much.

Prediction:  Terrell Owens signs with the Rams by tomorrow afternoon.  This is where he can be a feature WR and get more catches for himself.


Update: The Rams have decided against pursuing Terrell Owens.  Looks like he may end up with the Bengals, who seemingly have offered him a deal.  Even though he would potentially be a #2 receiver, this may be where TO ends up, as he has not drawn much interest this offseason after hauling in only 55 passes last year.
