2010 NFL Mock Draft 2.0, Round 3

Rounds One and Two are in the books so now it is time to unveil the revised third round of the 2010 NFL Mock Draft.

65. St. Louis Rams – Dominique Franks (CB, Oklahoma) – Rams corners intercepted zero passes last season.

Previous Pick: Damian Williams.

X-Factor: D-line needs help as well.

66. Detroit Lions – Joe McKnight (RB, USC) – Lions add an insurance policy in the event Kevin Smith is not ready to go.

Previous Pick: Joe McKnight.

X-Factor: Could look at an end or more secondary help.

67. Tampa Bay Buccaneers – John Jerry (OL, Mississippi) – The Bucs need some depth in the interior offensive line.

Previous Pick: Corey Wooton.

68. Kansas City Chiefs – Dennis Pitta (TE, BYU) – He may not be the next Tony Gonzalez but he should be better than what they have now.

Previous Pick: Rob Gronkowski.

69. Oakland Raiders – Jacoby Ford (WR, Clemson) – The Raiders will reach on Ford ensuring they get the fastest guy at the combine.

Previous Pick: Jacoby Ford.

70. Philadelphia Eagles – Jerome Murphy (CB, South Florida) – Sheldon Brown could be on his way out in Philly and Murphy gives them a big corner to take his spot.

Previous Pick: Dominique Franks.

71. Cleveland Browns – Chad Jones (S, LSU) – Browns continue to re-tool the secondary.

Previous Pick: Amari Spievey.

72. Buffalo Bills – Dexter McCluster (RB, Mississippi) – Chan Gailey expressed in interest in getting a back like McCluster in the draft earlier this week and McCluster ran well enough at his pro day to quell some of the fears about his lackluster combine times.

Previous Pick: Dan LeFevour.

73. Miami Dolphins – Dezmon Briscoe (WR, Kansas) – The Dolphins need to find someone who can catch the ball who runs better than 4.7 in the 40.

Previous Pick: Brandon Spikes.

74. Jacksonville Jaguars – Tim Tebow (QB, Florida) – Jags owner has expressed an interest in Tebow and be rest assured he will be taken here if he is still on the board.

Previous Pick: Tim Tebow.

75. Chicago Bears – Mardy Gilyard (WR, Cincinnati) – Probably not the answer for Chicago at WR but Mike Martz has always excelled at getting great production out of guys like Gilyard.

Previous Pick: Brandon LaFell.

76. New York Giants – Thaddeus Gibson (LB, Ohio State) – LB was a sore spot for the Giants last season and Gibson is too good to pass up here.

Previous Pick: Selvish Capers.

77. Tennessee Titans – Eric Norwood (LB, South Carolina) – The Titans need linebacking help.

Previous Pick: Javier Arenas.

78. Carolina Panthers – Arthur Jones (DT, Syracuse) – DT was a revolving door for the Panthers last season due to injury and Maake Kemoeatu signed with the Redskins.

Previous Pick: Arthur Jones.

79. San Francisco 49ers – Javier Arenas (CB, Alabama) – Niners need to get better at corner.

Previous Pick: Larry Asante.

80. Denver Broncos – Alex Carrington (DE, Arkansas State) – Carrington should be able to add any extra weight needed to play end in the 3-4.

Previous Pick: Alex Carrington.

81. Houston Texans – T. J Ward (S, Oregon) – Secondary is a big need for the Texans this spring.

Previous Pick: Mike Johnson.

82. Pittsburgh Steelers – Selvish Capers (OT, West Virginia) – The Steelers need to do a better job protecting Ben this year.

Previous Pick: Jared Veldheer.

83. Atlanta Falcons – Mike Williams (WR, Syracuse) – The Falcons need to find a better compliment to Roddy White than Michael Jenkins has been.

Previous Pick: Brandon Lang.

84. Cincinnati Bengals – Major Wright (S, Florida) – The Cincy safeties were nothing special last season.

Previous Pick: Michael Neal.

85. Cleveland Browns – Riley Cooper (WR, Florida) – The Browns receivers were abysmal last season.

Previous Pick: Reshad Jones.

86. Green Bay Packers – Johnathan Dwyer (RB, Green Bay) – Ryan Grant has been rumored to be in McCarthy’s dog house for a while now.

Previous Pick: Jerry Hughes.

87. Philadelphia Eagles – Greg Hardy (DE, Mississippi) – Maybe a bit of a reach here but was once considered a first round prospect before a disappointing senior season.

Previous Pick: Dorin Dickerson.

88. Arizona Cardinals – Nawa’akoa Misi (OLB, Utah) – The Cards really need to get younger and more athletic at the OLB position.

Previous Pick: Anthony McCoy.

89. Arizona Cardinals – Tony Pike (QB, Cincinnati) – Matt Leinart and Derek Anderson are expected to fight it out for the starting job this year.  Pike is long term insurance in the event Leinart washes out this summer.

Previous Pick: Tony Pike.

90. Dallas Cowboys – Edwin Veldheer (OT, Hillsdale) – Cowboys need to get younger at the tackle position.

Previous Pick: Riley Cooper.

91. San Diego Chargers – Jordan Shipley (WR, Texas) – The depth chart after Vincent Jackson is nothing special for the Chargers at receiver.

Previous Pick: David Reed.

92. Cleveland Browns – Al Woods (DL, LSU) – Woods could conceivably move over to end in the Browns 3-4 front.

Previous Pick: Jordan Shipley.

93. Minnesota Vikings – Kam Chancellor (S, Virginia Tech) – Safety play left something to be desired for the Vikes last season.

Previous Pick: Jerome Murphy.

94. Indianapolis Colts – Brandon Ghee (CB, Wake Forest) – Colts add some needed secondary depth.

Previous Pick: Brandon Ghee.

95. New Orleans Saints – Brandon Lang (DE, Troy) – With the release of Charles Grant the Saints have an opening at DE.

Previous Pick: Al Woods.

NOTE: The Redskins used their 3rd round selection in last summer’s supplemental draft.
