A Mock Draft Redux?

I was going to post my latest Mock Draft, then it occurred to me. I can't see any changes I want to make at this time. There are some players I believe might swap spots, but for the most part what I believed before holds true for me now:

St. Louis will take Sam Bradford 1st overall, even more so after his Pro Day Workout.

Mike Shanahan feels the need to build a better offensive line is more important that taking Jimmy Clausen, since he has Jason Campbell as his quarterback and a below average line.

Seattle needs to rebuild their offensive line as well, and Bryan Bulaga is the best option at #6.

Cleveland need help at cornerback and on the line on both sides of the ball. Taking Joe Haden at #7 and selecting a quality lineman in the second round is their best option.

Oakland loves the athletic ability of Bruce Campbell enough to take him 8th overall, though they could easily take Trent Williams here as well.

Buffalo is going to do backflips when Jimmy Clausen falls to them at #9.

Denver will take Dez Bryant, because his athletic ability and the uncertainty of Brandon Marshall will make him too tough to pass on.

San Francisco gets their offensive tackle in Trent Williams, but if Oakland takes him then they will most likely take Anthony Davis or Campbell.

Pittsburgh gets some protection for Ben Roethlisberger by taking the most versatile offensive lineman in Mike Iupati.

Houston gets their replacement for Dunta Robinson by selecting Kyle Wilson.

Cincinnati beefs up their running game and gets a big target for Carson Palmer by taking Jermaine Gresham.

Philadelphia gets a safety that many see as the best in the class in Earl Thomas, but I wonder how many teams who were thinking about taking him will get scared off because of Thomas grabbing his hamstring at the end of his 40 yard dash during his pro day workout. If the Eagles get him at #24 it is going to be a steal.

Dallas is going to get a quality tackle in Charles Brown, even though he pulled up with a hamstring as well during his Pro Day 40 Yard Dash.

San Diego might take Terrence Cody to plug up the center of the defensive line, but I don't believe they see Darren Sproles as the full time back they need, and Ryan Mathews can fit the bill.

The New York Jets get another target for Mark Sanchez in taking Golden Tate.

New Orleans shores up their defense in getting Sean Weatherspoon with the final pick of the first round.

I'll be posting my final mock draft the week of the draft, but for now I don't see it changing much. But you never know.
