1. Miami: Jake Long OT Michigan - I think the Dolphins believe in 2007 2nd round pick John Beck, however they’re going to need to get him someone to protect his blind side. Long is a mauler who will not only protect Beck but also give Ronnie Brown a wall to run behind.
2. St Louis: Glenn Dorsey DT LSU - Dorsey is one of the best DL prospects to come out in years, the Rams will love everything about him; his motor, his leadership, his tenacity. Adding Dorsey will allow the Rams to move last year’s 1st round pick Adam Carriker back to his more natural position of DE and give them a pretty solid unit on their D to build on.
3. Atlanta: Brian Brohm QB Louisville - I’m not yet sold on any of the big 3 QB’s going this high as of yet but Atlanta needs one BADLY and with Brohm’s former coach Petrino now running the Falcons I’ll give him the nod here.
4. New York Jets: Darren McFadden RB Arkansas - The Jets offense gets quite the talent and arguably the best player in the draft. I think Kellen Clemens can be a good Quarterback in this league and with a RB combo of Thomas Jones and Darren McFadden the Jets future looks pretty bright.
5. Buffalo: Malcolm Jenkins CB Ohio State - A bit of a reach but after losing Clements the Bills decide to replace him with another Buckeye DB. Jenkins should run a very good 40 time and should see his stock improve even more come workout time, he is a good tackler and has great cover skills.
6. New England (From SF): James Laurinaitis MLB Ohio State - The rich just keep getting richer, the Patriots finally add some youth to their LB corps with Laurinaitis who is a leader in every sense of the word who should replace Bruschi eventually as the face of that defense.
7. Oakland: Chris Long DE Virginia - Long is playing lights out this year, he’s fighting off double teams, stuffing the run, and getting after the quarterback, adding Long with give the Raiders two premiere pass-rushers on the edges in Long and Burgess.
8. Minnesota: Kenny Philips S Miami - Sharper is getting old and Philips is one of the more talented Safeties to ever come out, Miami coaches have said Philips has the mind of Ed Reed and the physical tools of Sean Taylor.
9. Cincinnati: Rey Maualuga LB USC - The Bengals desperately need a face and identity for their defense and Maualuga couldn’t be a better pick here.
10. Philadelphia: Malcolm Kelly WR Oklahoma - Kelly gets the nod over Jackson as the #1 WR taken due to him being more of a complete WR. McNabb finally gets a go-to guy at the WR position.
11. New Orleans: Sedrick Ellis DT USC - The Saints get a plug in the middle of their defense who should add to a pretty talented DL along with Grant and Smith.
12. Arizona: Derrick Harvey DE/OLB Florida - Coach Whisenhunt desperately needs some pass-rushers for his newly installed 34 defense and Harvey may be the best potential 34 OLB in this draft.
13. Chicago: Andre Woodson QB Kentucky - The Bears finally decide to stop ignoring their QB issues and take Woodson who has all the physical tools you need and has kept Kentucky in nearly every game this year playing a very tough SEC schedule.
14. Houston: Jonathan Stewart RB Oregon - Ahman Green is aging fast and the Texans don’t have much behind him. Stewart is a bull dozer at 5’11 230 who will run you over but also is a threat to take it to the house any given play with his speed.
15. Denver: Desean Jackson WR Cal - Cutler gets quite the weapon and some talent amongst the Bronco WR corps. Jackson will also bring a whole new element to their return game, and Chicago has shown us that a dangerous return man can really change the outcome of some ballgames.
16. Dallas (from CLE): Calais Campbell DE Miami - The Cowboys decide to pounce on the falling Campbell who could be a stud at DE in their 34 defense. Campbell should at the very least open up things even more for their already scary good OLB’s in Ware and Spencer.
17. San Diego: Reggie Smith DB Oklahoma - Smith has the ability to play possibly either CB or S in the pros and the Chargers could use him at either.
18. Kansas City: Ryan Clady OT Boise State - Since Huard is playing well that gives Croyle another off-season and year to prove he can be the future, so the Cheifs opt to go with the blindside LT to help protect their QB’s and give LJ some much needed blocking.
19. Baltimore: Matt Ryan QB BC - The Ravens luck out with Ryan falling this far and with Steve McNair and Kyle Boller your starting QB’s this is a simple pick.
20. Tampa Bay: James Hardy WR Indiana - Joey Galloway is closing in on retirement and Michael Clayton has looked very disappointing ever since his breakout rookie year in 2004. Hardy will enter the league as one of the tallest WR’s ever at 6’7 but also has very good hands to go along with his freakish size.
21. Seattle: Martin Rucker TE Missouri - Almost every complete offense in the league has a very reliable TE. Rucker is arguably the top TE prospect in this draft and the Seahawks add another dimension to their offense.
22. Detroit: Mike Jenkins CB USF - In the 2 games the Lions have lost this year they have been torched thru the air. Jenkins is a tough defender who could possibly play either CB or S in this draft similar to Smith of Oklahoma.
23. Carolina: Sam Baker OT USC - Both of Carolina’s starting OT’s are FA’s this year so they grab the young Trojan who can help keep whoever is back there throwing healthy.
24. Tennessee: Limas Sweed WR Texas - Sweed should rebound from his wrist injury come workout time and Vince Young couldn’t be more happier to reunite with his go-to WR from Texas to finally have a go-to guy in Tennessee.
25. Pittsburgh: Jack Ikegwouna CB Wisconsin - The Steelers are a good secondary away from having one of the premiere defenses in the league and Ike should improve upon that quickly.
26. Washington: Vernon Gholston DE Ohio State - Redskins really need a premiere pass rusher coming off the edge, they ignored last year by taking Landry, they wont ignore it again when Gholston falls to them.
27. Jacksonville: Keith Rivers LB USC - Yet another scary playmaker on the Jaguar defense.
28. New York Giants: Gosder Cherilus OT BC - The Giants defense is much improved since the opening weeks however they still need a franchise LT to keep Eli on his feet and healthy.
29. Green Bay: Antoine Cason CB Arizona - Woodson and Harris have been solid this year but they are both getting older and Woodson could move to Safety in the future. Cason gives them someone to start grooming under those 2 or even start if Woodson were to make the switch.
30. Dallas: Ray Rice RB Rutgers - May be a bit of a luxury pick but bringing in Rice may remind some Cowboy fans of another smaller RB they used to have who wore #22. I expect Julius Jones to be gone in the off-season and Marion Barber is going to need someone to help carry the load.
31. San Francisco (from Indy): Adarius Bowman WR Oklahoma State - The 49ers offense has look putrid this year. Most of that should be because Smith has been out but even when he was in there they weren’t really clicking and a lot of it had to do with no true #1 Wideout. Bowman should be Smith’s favorite target from Day 1.
32. New England: Forfeited
33. Miami: Tarrell Thomas CB USC
34. St. Louis: Dan Connor LB Penn State
35. Atlanta: Tony Hills OT Texas
36. New York Jets: Quentin Groves OLB Auburn
