With the First Pick in the 2010 NFL Draft...

We will get to our complete mock draft on Monday, but we won't leave you in suspense all weekend. The first pick in the 2010 NFL Draft will be...

Sam Bradford! Quarterback, Oklahoma.

Now the only problem is figuring out who will draft him.

Although the Rams currently hold that pick, there is a good chance that another team, namely Mike Holmgren and the quarterback collecting Browns, jumps at the opportunity to trade for the No. 1 overall pick and select Bradford.

Coming off of major shoulder surgery and given the success rate (or sometimes lack thereof) of quarterbacks selected in Round 1, Bradford isn't exactly a safe pick this year. Still, quarterbacks are hard to come by, and recent first rounders like Mark Sanchez, Matt Ryan and Joe Flacco leading their teams to playoff berths as rookies has to be in the back of everyone's mind. Especially bottom feeders like the Rams and Browns have been.

Like we said, the rest of our 2010 NFL Mock Draft is soon to follow. Stay tuned!

Free NFL Picks Pick Up Steam

We had mixed results in week one of the NFL season, eventually finishing a record nine-game card with a losing 4-5 record.

The volume of picks will likely be reduced as we become even more selective with a usually picky Free NFL Picks system, so don't expect to have such a crazy Sunday every week.

After an 0-1 start on Thursay, our Free NFL Picks wound up 4-4 on Sunday for an unspectacular 4-5 week.

The Packers 21-15 win over the Bears on Sunday night salvaged our day with a -3 1/2 spread. Prior to the nightcap, the Vikings crushed the -4 1/2 spread and the Browns with a 34-20 win; the Cowboys covered a -6 spread in a 34-21 victory over the Buccaneeers; and the Broncos, who already had a +4 1/2 cover secured, went on to a miraculous 12-7 triumph over the Bengals.

In all, we had a good end to a shaky weekend, but we look forward to a winning week two.

Week One Free NFL Picks: Part Two

Maybe it's because it's week one and we're playing some games that we wouldn't if we weren't so jacked up about the start of another NFL season, or maybe these games are just as easy as they appear. Either way, we're just following our Free NFL Picks system that went 58% last year and are hoping for better results this year.

In addition to the four picks in Part One and one on Thursday, we have four more picks--nine total! In all, we're playing eight of the 16 games this week, a Stock Lemon record. We'll find out if that's a good or bad thing on Sunday.

Vikings -4 1/2 over the Browns

Colts -7 over the Jaguars

Cowboys -6 over the Buccaneers

Packers -3 1/2 over the Bears

Good luck and enjoy the first Sunday of the NFL season!

2009 NFL Mock Draft: Picks 4-6

Yesterday, we unveiled our first three picks in our 2009 NFL Mock Draft, and today, since you've all been behaving lately, we're dishing out our next three picks. 

4. Seahawks: Eugene Monroe, T, Virginia

The quarterback position will be tempting for the Seahawks, depending on how the draft unfolds, but they have an opportunity to secure the tackle position by grabbing a player that many feel is the best of the top three or four tackles. 

5. Browns: Brian Orakpo, DE, Texas

Orakpo has sky-rocketed up the draft boards, and his explosiveness and athletic ability are good reasons why. Some fear he's simply a workout warrior, but his numbers at Texas indicated otherwise. This kid can play. 

6. Bengals: Andre Smith, T, Alabama

This seems like too perfect of a fit. A player who has done nothing but raise character questions during the pre-draft months seems destined for those infamous Bengal stripes. Despite the issues Smith has had, we think he'll make an excellent pro, worthy of being the third tackle in the first six picks in the draft. We told you we liked the top three tackles. 

Keep on checking back and we'll keep the 2009 NFL Mock Draft coming. The next three picks will likely be up tomorrow. 

Browns to Win in Our NFL Game of the Week

After a 10-6 season in 2007, there were high hopes in Cleveland for the hometown Browns to finally break through and make the playoffs this year. After an 0-2 start, however, the Browns find themselves in a must-win against the division rival Baltimore Ravens.

Cleveland Browns +3 over the Baltimore Ravens

Even if Braylon Edwards, who is questionable, doesn't play, Derek Anderson and the Browns should finally get on the right track this week against a Ravens team that is getting more credit than it deserves.

Rookie quarterback Joe Flacco will take his lumps in this one, even against a Browns defense that has been less than stellar to start the season. We'll take the Browns plus the points any day in this situation.

We have a few more Free NFL Picks on the way, so stay tuned!
