1. Miami (1-14) - Vernon Gholston DE/OLB Ohio State
The man is a pure beast and his combine numbers will reflect that making him a surefire top 5, McFadden is the BPA but just 2 years ago the invested their #2 pick in RB Ronnie Brown & Dorsey doesn't quite fit their current scheme
2. St. Louis (3-12) - Glenn Dorsey DT LSU
The man has been playing through injury the whole season and just hasn't been the same, he should be fully healthy by the NC game so we can once agian see his true dominance, Chris Long and Jake Long are both options here but i felt Dorsey was the BPA at a position of need.
3. New York Jets (3-12) - Chris Long DE Virginia
As long as he comes into the combine at a solid 280 and preforms well he is a good fit at 3-4 DE, Thomas Jones is a pretty solid back so McFadden would be a luxury that I think the Jets will pass up on.
4. Atlanta (3-12) - Darren McFadden RB Arkansas
The Falcons just need some good news, the fans are obviously upset over this season and the franchise needs a new face as Vick was just disgraceful, McFadden is the BPA in the draft and he is the best option to quickly improve the franchise quickly
5. Kansas City (4-11) - Jake Long OT Michigan
Thier O-line is just terrible this year, once one of the best in the NFL & Long is a solid player who takes them back in the right direction, Some may argue for a QB with the poor performance of Croyle, but no QB is going to do good behind the current line.
6. Oakland (4-11) - Sedrick Ellis DT USC
The man is just having a monster year, a huge part of USC's defenses success this year, extremely explosive pass rusher with a non-stop motor, who I'm sure scouts will fall in love with.
7. Baltimore (4-11) - Matt Ryan QB Boston College
Smith has looked decent in the games he has played and Billick's job may be on the line so another position is very possible, but if they do choose to go the QB route Ryan is the best one of this class and the way most of us see him as a prospect will probably change over the the time between the draft and now.
8. New England (from San Francisco) (5-10) - Malcolm Jenkins CB Ohio State
The Patriots may be the only team who is happy to be moving back in the draft as they don't like to pay rookies a lot of money and the difference between #2 and #8 is a very significant amount, Samuel seems very iffy on being resigned right now as he will want Nate Clements type of money and the Patriots just don't value any player that much, so they take the top CB and more than likely he will become an All Pro at the position.
9. Cincinnati (6-9) - James Laurinitis LB Ohio State
The Bengals severely underperformed this year, on some weeks they looked like one of the worst teams in the league others like playoff contenders, Laurinitis is a natural leader who can keep the defense on their toes and make sure that this stuff doesn't keep happening, he also happens to be the BPA imo.
10. Denver (6-9) - Dan Connor LB Penn State
Much like the Bengals you were never really sure what to expect out of them this year, Connor can start at MLB from the 1st day which will allow D.J. Williams to go back to SLB where he thrived last year
11. Carolina (6-9) - Brian Brohmn QB Louisville
Delhomme is normally a good QB when he is healthy but, that is becoming less and less and he is already 32 definitely not the long team answer, Fox could very well be gone after this year and a new HC may want his own QB. FS is probally their biggest area of need but QB is also a viable option.
12. Chicago (6-9) - Andre Woodson QB Kentucky
Woodson is a guy who I feel is unfairly being picked apart by scouts while he still is putting up amazing numbers in clutch situations throughout the season, Grossman & Orton clearly aren't the future of the franchise and Woodson is a very solid prospect. OT is another option, so Clady and Otah are also viable picks.
13. Arizona (7-8) - Kenny Phillips S Miami
Obviously the biggest need of the Cardinals is help in the secondary, Hood is a decent CB and Wilson is the best SS in the league pair him with Phillips which would allow him to roam even more and the entire defense will be a whole different beast. The Cardinals should strongly pursue a CB in FA to so they can move Green back to NB and cut ties with Rolle.
14. New Orleans (7-8) - Mike Jenkins CB South Florida
Nearly last in the NFL for passing yards allowed CB is definitely a position of need, I personally am not as high on Mike Jenkins as others are but even I can't argue that he is of good value here and at a position of need.
15. Buffalo (7-8) Malcolm Kelly WR Oklahoma
Seems like just too easy of a pick to make, but sometimes those are the best, Evans is a stud and a true #1 but Parrish is a burner who isn't the best compliment for him and should be used as a #3 to open up the field, that is where Kelly comes in, a great possession WR, who is good RZ target and isn't afraid to go across the middle.
16. Houston (7-8) - Ryan Clady OT Boise State
Finally they grab a franchise OT, both Shaub and Rosenfels have looked good and Andre Johnson is a stud, Secondary help or a RB can be had in the 2nd, but Clady is just too good of a prospect to pass up.
