TPSG NFL Mock Draft 4.0

With the Redskins acquiring the 2nd pick of the draft from the Rams, Peyton Manning picking a team and most of the major free agent moves having taken place, I think it's a good time for an updated mock.  Here goes:

1. Colts - Andrew Luck - QB - Stanford
2. Redskins - Robert Griffin III - QB - Baylor
3. Vikings - Matt Kalil - OT - USC ****
4. Brown - Justin Blackmon - WR - Oklahoma State ****
5. Bucs - Trent Richardson - RB - Alabama
6. Rams - Morris Claiborne - CB - LSU ****
7. Jaguars - Quinton Coples - DE - North Carolina
8. Dolphins - Ryan Tannehill - QB - Texas A&M ****
9. Panthers - Dontari Poe - DT - Memphis
10. Bills - Riley Reiff - OT - Iowa
11. Chiefs - David DeCastro - OG - Stanford
12. Seahawks - Luke Kuechly - LB - Boston College
13. Cardinals - Jonathan Martin - OT - Stanford ****
14. Cowboys - Dre Kirkpatrick - CB - Alabama
15. Eagles - Michael Brockers - DT - LSU
16. Jets - Melvin Ingram - DE/LB - South Carolina
17. Bengals - Stephon Gilmore - CB - South Carolina
18. Chargers - Cordy Glenn - OG - Georgia
19. Bears - Whitney Mercilus - DE - Illinois
20. Titans - Fletcher Cox - DT - Mississippi State
21. Bengals - Courtney Upshaw - LB - Alabama
22. Browns - Coby Fleener - TE - Stanford
23. Lions - Mike Adams - OT - Ohio St
24. Steelers - Devon Still - DT - Penn St
25. Broncos - Michael Floyd - WR - Notre Dame
26. Texans - Stephen Hill - WR - Georgia Tech
27. Patriots - Dont'a Hightower - LB - Alabama
28. Packers - Jerel Worthy - DT - Michigan St
29. Ravens - Mark Barron - DB - Alabama
30. 49ers - Reuben Randle - WR - LSU
31. Patriots - Janoris Jenkins - CB - North Alabama
32. Giants - Zach Brown - LB - North Carolina

**The Vikings have been making noise about liking Morris Claiborne at #3 and he'd fill a huge need for the Vikings but I have to believe that it's a smokescreen, Kalil is just too obvious of a choice. 

****The Browns have huge needs at WR & RB & QB, if they use the BPA approach I don't see how they can pass on Blackmon.  

****CB is probably not the most pressing need for the Rams, I suspect they'd love to see Blackmon slide to number 6, but I don't see it after Blackmon's pro day, Claiborne would be BPA at that point.  

****Personally, I think it would be a reach to take Ryan Tannehill at #8 but the Dolphins really need to solve their QB problems.  I can see Ryan Tannehill as this years version of Christian Ponder.  

****The Cardinals are desperate for a LT, I'm not certain that they pick one at this spot though, if they are intent upon picking an OT I'm thinking they might be willing to trade down some and get one a little further down.  Personally, I love to see Michael Floyd go here, they are still looking for a replacement for Anquan Bolden.   I also wouldn't be shocked if they went defense, perhaps Melvin Ingram, Courtney Upshaw or maybe even a CB like Dre Kirkpatrick or Stephon Gilmore to team with Patrick Peterson.   In other words, who knows. 

Previous mocks:  1.0, 2.0 & 3.0
