The dust has barely settled following the 2009 draft, but that doesn't mean it's too early to look ahead to 2010, and below is Scouts Inc.'s very early look at how things could unfold in the first round in 2010. The biggest story at this point is Oklahoma's domination of the draft board. The Sooners have the No. 1 overall pick in QB Sam Bradford but also have four of the top six selections and five projected first-rounders overall. Five offensive or defensive linemen land in the top 10 along with two quarterbacks, a tight end, a safety and a linebacker. Only players who are entering their fourth year on campus are a part of this projection, including Bradford and Penn State OLB Navorro Bowman. The order of our first round reflects Scouts Inc.'s Matt Williamson's revamped power rankings -- which take into account the playoffs, free agency and the 2009 draft -- in reverse. So, with the first pick in the 2010 NFL mock draft, the St. Louis Rams select …[h2]1. St. Louis Rams -- Sam Bradford, QB, Oklahoma[/h2]College football's most accurate passer could emerge as the top overall pick in 2010. The Rams should be in position to draft their future franchise quarterback after passing on Mark Sanchez in this year's draft.[h2]2. Cleveland Browns -- Ndamukong Suh, DT, Nebraska[/h2]Suh is an underrated talent with quickness, power and versatility.
[h2]3. Detroit Lions -- Russell Okung, OT, Oklahoma State[/h2]The Lions should be in the market for a starting left tackle to protect the blind side of 2009 No. 1 overall pick Matthew Stafford.[h2]4. Oakland Raiders -- Trent Williams, OT, Oklahoma[/h2]Oakland drafted a wide receiver (Darrius Heyward-Bey) at No. 7 overall this year rather than solidifying its offensive line with OT Eugene Monroe. The Raiders shouldn't make the same mistake in 2010.[h2]5. Kansas City Chiefs -- Jermaine Gresham, TE, Oklahoma[/h2]The Chiefs will have some bigger needs along the offensive and defensive lines, but Gresham projects as the premier tight end in the 2010 class. He could become the replacement for future Hall of Fame TE Tony Gonzalez, who was traded to the Falcons, providing QB Matt Cassell a legitimate pass-catching threat over the middle.[h2]6. Seattle Seahawks (from Denver) -- Colt McCoy, QB, Texas[/h2]A year from now the Seahawks could be in the market for Matt Hasselbeck's future replacement and don't be surprised if McCoy emerges as a top-10 pick by then.[h2]7. Jacksonville Jaguars -- Gerald McCoy, DT, Oklahoma[/h2]The Jaguars need to replenish their interior defensive line and McCoy is college football's most disruptive tackle when he's healthy.[h2]8. San Francisco 49ers -- Taylor Mays, S, USC[/h2]Offensive tackle is a big need area but Mays possesses freakish physical tools and could anchor the 49ers' secondary for many years. It should also be pointed out that Mays will have competition for the honor of being first safety off the 2010 draft board if Tennessee's Eric Berry leaves school early.[h2]9. Green Bay Packers -- Adam Ulatoski, OT, Texas[/h2]Ulatoski has good feet for his size and could develop into a top offensive tackle prospect as a senior with improved technique and consistency.[h2]10. San Francisco 49ers (from CAR) -- Sergio Kindle, OLB, Texas[/h2]With the second of their two first-round selections, the 49ers could look to upgrade their offensive line or pass rush. Kindle is a great fit in this scenario as an undersized end with excellent speed off the edge and fluid hips that allow him to occasionally drop into coverage.[h2]11. Washington ******** -- Ciron Black, OT, LSU[/h2]Black is a bit overrated at this point, but he has the physical tools to emerge as a high first-round pick a year from now.[h2]12. Tampa Bay Buccaneers -- Geno Atkins, DT, Georgia[/h2]New defensive coordinator Jim Bates is looking to get bigger and stronger up front. Atkins fits the mold as a squatty, quick and strong defender. However, he needs to rebound from a somewhat disappointing 2008 season in order to emerge as a premier defensive tackle prospect in next year's class.[h2]13. Denver Broncos (from CHI) -- Jerry Hughes, OLB, TCU[/h2]Hughes is flying under the radar, but his initial burst and pass-rushing ability -- 15 sacks in 2008 -- could land him a spot in the middle of next year's first round.[h2]14. Buffalo Bills -- Sam Young, OT, Notre Dame[/h2]Offensive tackle is the only need area the Bills failed to address in the most recent draft. As a result, expect the team to be in the market for a future starter such as Young a year from now.[h2]15. Cincinnati Bengals -- C.J. Spiller, RB, Clemson[/h2]Spiller's speed and versatility could land him a spot in the mid-to-late portion of Round 1.[h2]16. Miami Dolphins -- George Selvie, DE, South Florida[/h2]Selvie is a notch below elite in terms of physical tools, but his toughness and nonstop motor will be enticing to a team like the Dolphins.

To see where other big names land and who your favorite team might bring into the fold in 2010, become an ESPN Insider today.
[h2]17. Tennessee Titans -- Brandon Spikes, ILB, Florida[/h2]Spikes lacks elite speed and needs to play with more consistent leverage. On the flip side, he's a hard-hitting emotional leader with very good instincts.
[h2]18. Seattle Seahawks -- Brandon LaFell, WR, LSU[/h2]LaFell is arguably the only 2010 senior wide receiver prospect worthy of first-round consideration at this point. LaFell has room to improve as a route runner but very few college receivers possess his combination of size, speed, athleticism and proven playmaking skills.
[h2]19. Houston Texans -- Trevard Lindley, CB, Kentucky[/h2]The Texans could be in the market for a playmaking defensive back early in next year's draft. Lindley is not overly physical and was knocked out of Kentucky's bowl game with a hyperextended elbow, but he is a fluid cover corner with outstanding speed and good overall ball skills.
[h2]20. New Orleans Saints -- Navorro Bowman, OLB, Penn State[/h2]Upgrading the speed and athleticism of their defense should continue to be a focal point for the Saints during next year's draft. Bowman has some off-the-field issues that must be investigated, but he's a fast-rising prospect with outstanding range for the position.
[h2]21. New York Jets -- DeMarcus Granger, DT, Oklahoma[/h2]Granger is arguably the most talented defensive lineman in the country, but durability and character issues have prevented him from reaching his full potential to this point. A healthy and productive 2009 campaign could land him a spot in Round 1.
[h2]22. Baltimore Ravens -- Marshwan Gilyard, WR, Cincinnati[/h2]Gilyard is an emerging talent with outstanding speed to stretch the field vertically, and he is also one of college football's premier return men.
[h2]23. Dallas Cowboys -- Javier Arenas, CB, Alabama[/h2]Arenas' recognition skills and technique in coverage still have room to improve, but he's a fast and fluid athlete with game-breaking ability in the return game.
[h2]24. New York Giants -- Brandon Lang, DE, Troy[/h2]Lang is still developing physically, but he has good size potential and great initial burst. He caught the attention of NFL scouts with 17.5 tackles for loss, including 10.5 sacks, in 2008.
[h2]25. Minnesota Vikings -- Nate Allen, S, South Florida[/h2]Allen is a bit of an unknown prospect at this point, but he possesses the size, athleticism and ball skills to emerge as a Day 1 prospect a year from now.
[h2]26. Indianapolis Colts -- Eric Norwood, DE, South Carolina[/h2]Norwood lacks ideal size (6-foot, 265 pounds) but he's a quick and instinctive pass-rusher who finished second in the SEC with nine sacks last year.
[h2]27. Arizona Cardinals -- Sergio Render, G, Virginia Tech[/h2]Render is the premier interior offensive lineman in the 2010 senior class. He needs to recover fully from offseason shoulder surgery in order to nail down a spot in Round 1.
[h2]28. San Diego Chargers -- LeGarrette Blount, RB, Oregon[/h2]The Chargers could look to find LaDainian Tomlinson's long-term replacement early in next year's draft. Blount is a bit of a long shot to be drafted this early once underclassmen are thrown into the mix, but don't be surprised if Blount lands a spot in Day 1 by putting up big numbers as the Ducks' top back this fall.
[h2]29. Atlanta Falcons -- Mark Herzlich, OLB, Boston College[/h2]What Herzlich lacks in athleticism he more than makes up for with hustle, instincts and toughness. His versatility will be highly regarded by teams that use hybrid defensive fronts.
[h2]30. Pittsburgh Steelers -- Terrence Cody, DT, Alabama[/h2]Cody is a mountain of a man, and he's an ideal fit as a nose tackle in the middle of a "30" front. However, he doesn't play with enough consistent leverage and needs to show a better motor in order to avoid a free fall in next year's draft
[h2]31. Philadelphia Eagles -- Greg Hardy, DE, Mississippi[/h2]Hardy possesses the size, speed and pass-rushing skills of a high first-rounder. But his inconsistent effort is well-documented, and it could cost him a year from now.
[h2]32. New England Patriots -- Micah Johnson, ILB, Kentucky[/h2]Johnson had a breakout junior season with 93 tackles in 11 games. If the 250-pound inside linebacker builds on that performance, he could land a spot late in next year's first round.

[h1]Senior class of cornerbacks solid heading into 2010 draft[/h1] [table][tr][td][/td] [td] [/td] [td]By Gil Brandt | NFL.com

Top college senior rankings: QB | RB | WR | TE | G/C | OT | DE | DT | MLB | OLB | S
[/td] [/tr][/table]
Editor's note: This is part of a weekly series detailing the top senior prospects, by position, for the 2010 NFL Draft.
How important are cornerbacks in the NFL?
Thirty nine cornerbacks have been selected in Round 1 and 82 in the first two rounds over the past 10 drafts. Only wide receivers have been selected more in the first two rounds over that time.
The San Francisco 49ers gave Nate Clements an eight-year, $80 million contract in 2007, of which $22 million was guaranteed. This was the largest contract ever given to a defensive player in NFL history at the time.
Because of the empty backfield, one-running back and multi-receiver sets, teams feel it's important to have three cornerbacks on the field a high percentage of the time, in order to match up against all the fast wide receivers.
Tramon Williams, Green Bay's third corner, played in almost 75 percent of the Packers' defensive plays in 2008 and had five interceptions.
The feeling around the league is that you can never have too many good cornerbacks. The key trait for this position is speed -- speed to break on the ball, speed to turn and run with a wide receiver and speed to come up in run support.
In NFL draft history, only one defensive back has been selected with the first overall pick (Gary Glick by Pittsburgh in 1956). Since 1996, the highest a cornerback has been drafted is third, when Seattle took Shawn Springs. There seems to be a very good group of senior corners for this draft.
[table][tr][th=""]
TOP SENIOR CORNERBACKS
[/th] [/tr][/table][table][tr][td] [/td] [td]
1. Patrick Robinson
College: Florida State
Height/Weight: 5-foot-11 1/8, 192
Robinson was a four-year player, who has 13 career starts. He played at a small prep school in Florida and is just catching up with players from larger high school programs in Florida. he has very good coverage skills, is physical and has the requisite speed and quickness. He has very good speed and was third in Florida state track championships in the 100 and 200 meters. He is a first-round pick.
[/td] [td] [/td] [td]
2. Jerome Murphy
College: South Florida
Height/Weight: 6-0¼, 185
Murphy is a fifth-year player, who will be starting for the second year in 2009. He is the second-leading tackler on the team in 2008 and has speed. He will hit, has good ball skills for the position, can return kicks and has good size. South Florida has a recent history of good cornerbacks.
[/td] [/tr][/table]
[table][tr][td]
3. Syd'Quan Thompson
College: California
Height/Weight: 5-8½, 190
Thompson is a fifth-year player, who has started 39 consecutive games at cornerback. He was named Mr. Football in California after his junior year of high school. He had six interceptions and has everything needed to play corner in the NFL. I just wish he was 3 inches taller. It is very hard for short corners to cover the tall NFL receivers (Moss, Fitzgerald, Owens and Houshmandzadeh) they face, but he will be a solid starter. Although he is no Darrell Green (a Hall of Famer with the ********).
[/td] [td]
4. Devin McCourty
College: Rutgers
Height/Weight: 5-10¾, 190
McCourty is a fifth-year player, who has started 26 games over the past two years. His twin brother, Jason, started as a senior in 2008. He has very good athletic ability and will be very good on special teams. His speed seems to be slightly above average. He has good, not great, quickness and is a steady player, who can find the ball.
[/td] [/tr][/table]
[table][tr][td] [/td] [td]
5. Brandon Ghee
College: Wake Forest
Height/Weight: 5-11 3/8
Ghee was redshirted in 2005 and didn't play in 2006 because of academic problems. He started 10 games in 2007 and led the team in forced fumbles last year. Ghee has the size and speed necessary for the position. He might be a better athlete than player. He suffered a knee injury during spring practice and he will need a medical check this fall.
[/td] [td]
6. Trevard Lindley
College: Kentucky
Height/Weight: 5-11, 178
Lindley is a fifth-year player, who has started every game (39 in his college career) and was voted first-team All-SEC in 2008. He ran a 4.53 in the 40 on his Pro Day this spring and has outstanding quickness and ball skills (nine interceptions and 34 pass breakups). Lindley is small, but tough, and has 158 career tackles. He was a high school running back and is a smart player that makes lots of big plays.
[/td] [/tr][/table]
[table][tr][td]
7. Walter Thurmond
College: Oregon
Height/Weight: 5-10½, 185
A fifth-year player who has started 37 of 38 games over the past three years, Thurmond played both ways in high school. He had five interceptions and 66 tackles in 2008, has good speed and quickness for the position. Thurmond is better playing off receivers rather than in press coverage. Thurmond can also return kicks.
[/td] [td]
8. Javier Arenas
College: Alabama
Height/Weight: 5-8½, 192
Arenas played as a true freshman in 2006. Last year was his first year as a starter and he was voted second-team All-SEC at corner. He is an outstanding punt returner, one of the best in college football, and has good ball skills. He will tackle and was timed at 4.6 in the 40-yard dash last spring. Arenas has very good quickness and is most likely a third corner and top punt return man.
[/td] [/tr][/table]
[table][tr][td] [/td] [td]
9. Akwasi Owusu-Ansah
College: Indiana (Pa.)
Height/Weight: 6-0½, 197
Owusu-Ansah's family came from Ghana in West Africa. He grew up in Ohio. Ansah played running back in high school, but is a raw player with rare size and speed (4.48 in the 40-yard dash in bad conditions on a poor surface). He needs to work on his technique, but he had eight interceptions in 2008 and can also return kicks. Owusu-Ansah has good upside.
[/td] [td]
10. Alterraun Verner
College: UCLA
Height/Weight: 5-10¼, 184
Verner is a four-year player, who started one game as a true freshman and has started 22 games over the past two seasons. He was selected second-team All-Pac 10 in 2008. He has returned three of his eight interceptions for touchdowns. He was the only freshman in UCLA history to return two interceptions for touchdowns in the same season. He has very good anticipation (led the nation in pass breakups in 200and has good speed and acceleration for the position. He will be a team captain in 2009.
[/td] [/tr][/table]
[table][tr][td] [/td] [td]
11. Myron Lewis
College: Vanderbilt
Height/Weight: 6-1 5/8, 205
Lewis is a four-year player, who has started 25 consecutive games over the past two years at corner. This is a Pittsburgh-type corner. He is a very good blitzer, who will tackle and has good ball skills. He tallied five interceptions in 2008 and has 23 pass breakups over the past two years. He is a good, solid player, who is very smart. Lewis was also a very good high school basketball player.
[/td] [td] [/td] [td]
12. Perrish Cox
College: Oklahoma State
Height/Weight: 6-0, 190
Cox is a four-year player, who has started games over the past two years, including eight in 2007. He has six interceptions and 21 pass breakups over three years and has returned four kickoffs for touchdowns. He has the size and speed needed to play corner, finds the ball and is a good tackler. He is a good prospect.
[/td] [/tr][/table]
[table][tr][td] [/td] [td]
13. Devin Ross
College: Arizona
Height/Weight: 5-10 1/8, 180
Ross is a four-year player, who started in 2008. He made second-team All-Pac 10 last year and has kick return ability. Ross has the speed and quickness needed to play the position. He is a good special teams player, but needs to get stronger. He has good ball skills.
[/td] [td]
14. Kyle Wilson
College: Boise State
Height/Weight: 5-9½, 185
Wilson is a fifth-year player, who started five games in 2006. He has started 31 consecutive games and was the MVP of the New Jersey High School Championship Game as a junior and senior. He ran a 4.42 and a 4.43 at Boise State's Pro Day this past spring. He had five interceptions and 10 pass breakups in 2008. Wilson has the quickness and speed needed to play corner in the NFL, though, I wish he was taller.
[/td] [/tr][/table]
[table][tr][td]
15. Chris Hawkins
College: LSU
Height/Weight: 6-foot, 190
Hawkins is a fifth-year player, who was a full-time starter for the first time last season, starting all 13 games at right corner. He led the team in interceptions with three and was a high school running back and receiver, who will play left corner this season. He has the size needed for the position and has good coverage ability with good, but not great, speed. Hawkins has good athletic ability and is an older player at the age of 23. He will be good on coverage teams (punts and kickoffs).
[/td] [td] [/td] [td]
16. Jamar Wall
College: Texas Tech
Height/Weight: 5-10, 197
Wall is a four-year player and two-year starter for the Red Raiders, who was an outstanding high school running back. He has been well coached against the pass and has good ball skills. He has good speed and quickness and was an honorable mention All-Big 12 each of the past two years.
[/td] [/tr][/table]
[table][tr][td]
17. Traye Simmons
College: Minnesota
Height/Weight: 5-9, 182
Simmons is a junior college transfer, who started 12 games for the Gophers in 2008. He was an outstanding high school player in Georgia. He has very good quickness and outstanding ability to break on the ball. Simmons will tackle, but has good, not great, speed for the position.
[/td] [td] [/td] [td]
18. Stephan Virgil
College: Virginia Tech
Height/Weight: 5-10½, 185
Virgil was a fifth-year player that started for the first time in 2008 and had six interceptions for the Hokies. He had a school-record 47 starts at Rocky Mount High School in North Carolina. He ran a 4.59 in the 40 this past spring at Virginia Tech Pro Day and plays well vs. the run. He has good reaction to the ball and that makes up for his lack of great speed. He will be a good special teams player in the NFL.
