2010 NFL Mock Draft

Last update: Tuesday, March 9, 2010



7. Cleveland Browns: Eric Berry, S, Tennessee
I really can't envision a scenario where Eric Berry falls beyond this pick. Most consider Berry to be the top prospect in the 2010 NFL Draft behind Ndamukong Suh and Gerald McCoy. However, Berry is a safety, a position of low value, which is why he could fall to No. 7 despite the fact that he's being billed as the next Ed Reed.

Cleveland's secondary is an abomination, and numerous upgrades must be made. Berry is exactly the type of leader that the Browns' defensive backfield needs.

Other 2010 NFL Draft Possibilities:

1. Quarterback - Like the Seahawks, the Browns are a candidate to trade up for a quarterback. Moving from No. 7 to No. 3 may be difficult, but Cleveland could definitely go up two spots if the Redskins pass on Sam Bradford. All that would cost the Browns is a third-round pick, and they conveniently have two of those.

2. Joe Haden, CB - Joe Haden is still a strong option for the Browns because he's a very talented corner who would fill a big need.

Pick change; previously Dez Bryant, WR


38. Cleveland Browns: Kareem Jackson, CB, Alabama
Eric Wright is a solid corner, but the Browns have nothing across from him. They can't go another season rotating between Brandon McDonald and Mike Adams. Kareem Jackson ran a 4.41 at the Combine.


71. Cleveland Browns: Andre Roberts, WR, The Citadel
Cleveland needs offensive playmakers. Brady Quinn struggled last year with his deep accuracy, but it's hard to put all of the blame on him because his top targets were Evan Moore, Mohamed Massaquoi and Mike Furrey.

Pick change; previous Dan LeFevour, QB


92. Cleveland Browns: Jamar Chaney, ILB, Mississippi State
The Browns just signed Scott Fujita, but he can't be the long-term answer at inside linebacker. Mike Holmgren will probably spend a mid-round pick on this position.

Pick change; previous Major Wright, FS


102. Cleveland Browns: Dan LeFevour, QB, Central Michigan
As I wrote earlier, the only way the Browns are going to win on a consistent basis is if they find a franchise quarterback. Also, new regimes mean new quarterbacks, so Mike Holmgren will be looking for a guy he likes in this class.

Pick change; previously Jared Veldheer, OT

Bit light on the offensive side of the ball.

Like it or not if we don't bring in a DB I could see us drafting two in the first three rounds.

92. Cleveland Browns: Jamar Chaney, ILB, Mississippi State
The Browns just signed Scott Fujita, but he can't be the long-term answer at inside linebacker. Mike Holmgren will probably spend a mid-round pick on this position.

Chaney's a better fit for playing at D'Qwell's spot than alongside him. He flows to the ball well and is willing to mix it up in the run game, but he's not all that great at shedding blocks and is more of a drag-down tackler. He doesn't play up to the 26 bench he posted at the Combine.

He'd be an interesting guy in the 3rd or 4th round. Despite having mildly stiff hips, he plays much closer to his impressive workout numbers than Jasper Brinkley did last year. But he's not as much of a "thumper".
