Ron's NFL Mock Draft (20-11) by Ronald Carthen

Today is day two of my famous NFL mock draft. We take a look at picks 20-11 and I believe we'll see Oklahoma State wide receiver Dez Bryant and Clemson running back C.J. Spiller fall in these picks. They will be the best two offensive rookies in the upcoming season. Lets take a look at these picks and let the debates begin.

20) Houston Texans- S Earl Thomas, Texas
- The Texans will need to figure out if they want to add some depth in the secondary or add a running back to help Steve Slaton, who fumbled the ball five times last season. With such a deep running back class, I think they'll add someone in the secondary after Dunta Robinson signed with the Atlanta Falcons. Picking up Longhorn safety Earl Thomas will be a good pick up for the Texans. He set a Texas record of eight interceptions last season.       

19) Atlanta Falcons- OLB Sean Witherspoon, Missouri
- The Falcons finished 26th in the league with only 28 sacks last season. This calls for someone in the draft to get behind the line of scrimmage and hit some quarterbacks. Sean Witherspoon would be a great pickup here. He recorded 376 tackles, three forced fumbles, and four interceptions in the last three seasons. 

18) Pittsburgh Steelers- OG Mike Iupati, Idaho
- I know Santonio Holmes was traded to the Jets, but with such a weak receiver class, the Steelers need to find someone on the offensive line. Ben Roethlisberger sacked 50 times is not a good look. If Mike Iupati is still on the board, they need to snatch him in a hurry. The 6'5 331 pound guard didn't allow a sack in 2009. That's music to Big Ben's ears and it's something he seriously needs.      

17) San Francisco 49ers (from Carolina Panthers)- C Maurkice Pouncey, Florida 
- 49ers head coach Mike Singletary wants to pound the ball and smash defenses in the mouth. With a disappointing 26th in total rushing yards (1,600) and 25th in rushing yards per game (100.0), Maurkice Pouncey will begin to make Frank Gore very happy. The 6'4 304 pound center won the Rimington Trophy for the nation's best center.

16) Tennessee Titans- DE Jason Pierre-Paul, South Florida
- With Kyle Vanden Bosch joining the Lions, Jason Pierre-Paul will fit right in with the Titans. Jason went to two schools before attending South Florida. He had 45 tackles, 16.5 for loss, and 4.5 sacks this past season with the Bulls. He should help out the Titans defense, who allowed 25.1 points per game and recorded only 32 sacks. 

15) New York Giants- ILB Rolando McClain, Alabama
- The Giants have to find get a linebacker to replace Antonio Pierce, who was released this offseason. Please pick up Crimson Tide's Rolando McClain. McClain played a big part on helping Nick Saban win the 2009 national championship. He picked up a team-best 66 tackles, seven for loss, and two sacks.    

14) Seattle Seahawks (from Denver Broncos)- RB C.J. Spiller, Clemson
- The Seahawks finished with only 97.9 rushing yards a game. Julius Jones and Justin Forsett combined for 1,289 rushing yards and six touchdowns this past season. I don't think any teams will need a running back until this pick and C.J. Spiller is a must. The 2009 ACC Player of the Year rushed for 1,212 rushing yards and 12 touchdowns last season. He finished his career at Clemson with 3,547 rushing yards and 32 touchdowns.  

13) San Francisco 49ers- CB Joe Haden, Florida
- The Niners allowed only 14 touchdown passes last season. I think the 49ers adding Joe Haden will add great depth and help Nate Clements continue to stay dominate in the secondary. Joe finished with 197 tackles, eight interceptions, and two forced fumbles in three seasons.     

12) Miami Dolphins- OLB/DE Sergio Kindle, Texas
- Now that the Dolphins picked up Brandon Marshall in a trade from the Broncos, now they can focus on getting a pass rusher who can help this team, who lost Jason Taylor and Joey Porter. Sergio Kindle would be a fit to help this team go after QBs. The Dolphins finished with the league's third-best 44 sacks last season. Sergio finished his Longhorn career with 148 tackles and 16 sacks.

11) Denver Broncos- WR Dez Bryant, Oklahoma State 
- There's no way that the Broncos trade Brandon Marshall and pass up on Dez Bryant in this year's draft. All he did was lie about visiting Deion Sanders not get arrested or taking drugs.It's a shame that he was suspended after September 19h, 2009.  Dez finished with 2,425 receiving yards and 29 touchdowns.
