1) Miami Dolphins – Jake Long | Offensive Tackle | Michigan
Chris Long has been the most popular pick here, but many tend to overlook the fact that Miami may not have a true offensive tackle on their roster, let alone a left tackle.
2) St. Louis Rams – Chris Long | Defensive End | Virginia
Its becoming more clear that St. Louis wants to upgrade at defensive end, and they may go with Chris Long or Vernon Gholston even if Jake Long were available.
3) Atlanta Falcons – Glenn Dorsey | Defensive Tackle | Louisiana State
Atlanta doesn't even appear to be putting up smokescreens about having interest in Matt Ryan and will likely hold out for a QB in round two, especially if they deal DeAngelo Hall for Oakland's second round pick. Mike Smith wants big bodies up the middle of the defense and if Dorsey proves to be healthy he definitely fits.
4) Oakland Raiders – Darren McFadden | Running Back | Arkansas
Vernon Gholston will get a long look here, but when it comes down to it McFadden is the explosive playmaker Al Davis loves and Oakland already invested a ton of money in their defense this off-season.
5) Kansas City Chiefs – Ryan Clady | Offensive Tackle | Boise State
Clady, Jeff Otah or any other offensive lineman is certainly a reach here but the Chiefs must find an anchor on the offensive line and Clady is a potential starting left tackle at the next level.
6) New York Jets – Vernon Gholston | Defensive End | Ohio State
Calvin Pace got a big contract from the Jets to be a starter at OLB in their 3-4 defense and they hope Bryan Thomas can be a nice starter on the other side, but a 3-4 team can never have enough pass rushers and Gholston may become the best on the team.
7) New England Patriots – Derrick Harvey | Defensive End | Florida
New England passes on their need at corner and reaches for Harvey, who fills the need at OLB across from Mike Vrabel
8) Baltimore Ravens – Leodis McKelvin | Cornerback | Troy
Baltimore is in need of a quarterback but pass on Matt Ryan here, as they are one of many teams who feel they can find value at QB in round two.
9) Cincinnati Bengals – Sedrick Ellis | Defensive Tackle | Southern California
The Bengals tipped their hand after almost acquiring both Shaun Rogers and Dewayne Robertson, but neither deals were finalized.
10) New Orleans Saints – Rashard Mendenhall | Running Back | Illinois
The news keeps getting worse for Deuce McAllister, who in this scenario would look like a June 1st cut. Many mocks have New Orleans reaching for a defensive player here, but with no viable options on the board Mendenhall is the pick and makes for a nice compliment to Reggie Bush.
11) Buffalo Bills – Limas Sweed | Wide Receiver | Texas
#11 is a bit high to pick any receiver in this class so trading down is probably an option, but whispers about Malcolm Kelly's health causes Buffalo to go with Sweed to be the big receiver they need across from Lee Evans.
12) Denver Broncos – Kentwan Balmer | Defensive Tackle | North Carolina
Maybe a reach to some, Balmer may silence critics and prove to be worth this pick down the line. Denver has a gaping hole in the middle of their defense next to Marcus Thomas who continues to get in trouble.
13) Carolina Panthers – Matt Ryan | Quarterback | Boston College
This is more of a value pick than one of need, but Ryan helps give the Panthers a long-term answer at quarterback behind Jake Delhomme.
14) Chicago Bears – Chris Williams | Offensive Tackle | Vanderbilt
Williams fills a big hole for the Bears outside at tackle, and has potential to play on the left side down the road.
15) Detroit Lions – Jonathan Stewart | Running Back | Oregon
Many feel that Stewart will fall out of the top 20, but Detroit needs to solidify their running back situation for the future and Stewart's health is much less of a concern than it is for Kevin Jones, who was a surprise release.
16) Arizona Cardinals – Dominique Rodgers-Cromartie | Cornerback | Tennessee State
Antrel Rolle flopped at corner and will be moved to safety, leaving nothing behind Rod Hood and Eric Green who are decent starters at the best.
17) Minnesota Vikings – Quentin Groves | Defensive End | Auburn
Groves may not be the every down defensive end Minnesota needs, but is arguably the best on the board and will definitely help them with their lackluster pass-rush.
18) Houston Texans – Mike Jenkins | Cornerback | South Florida
Dunta Robinson's health is a concern, and Fred Bennett and Jacques Reeves are questionable starters.
19) Philadelphia Eagles – Branden Albert | Offensive Guard | Virginia
The Eagles pass on what may be considered a reach for a receiver here and pick Albert, who can play guard, right tackle, and possibly left tackle down the road. The Birds have enough flexibility on the offensive line to allow him to settle at whatever position he excels at.
20) Tampa Bay Buccaneers – Devin Thomas | Wide Receiver | Michigan State
Thomas is raw, but the Bucs can stash him on the bench for a year behind the aging Joey Galloway and Antonio Bryant, who is on a one-year deal.
21) Washington Redskins – Keith Rivers | Outside Linebacker | Southern California
Rocky McIntosh isn't as hurt as originally thought and could be ready by training camp but shouldn't be relied on and Rivers is a nice value here.
22) Dallas Cowboys – Felix Jones | Running Back | Arkansas
Dallas may be able to get Jones with their second 1st round pick but Jerry Jones jumps on the Arkansas alumni before anyone else can.
23) Pittsburgh Steelers – Gosder Cherilus | Offensive Tackle | Boston College
Cherilus has seen his stock rise to about this point, and fills a need on the offensive line for Pittsburgh.
24) Tennessee Titans – Phillip Merling | Defensive End | Clemson
Merling has some health concerns but will be a situational end and split time with newly re-acquired Jevon Kearse across from Kyle Vanden Bosch.
25) Seattle Seahawks – Dustin Keller | Tight End | Purdue
Seattle has been one of the best teams in the league when it comes to developing WRs and have a few young guys on the roster that can help replace DJ Hackett and Deion Branch, so they instead look at another offensive position of need in tight end.
26) Jacksonville Jaguars – Pat Sims | Defensive Tackle | Auburn
Possibly a bit of a reach, but Marcus Stroud is in Buffalo and John Henderson has lost a step.
27) San Diego Chargers – Kenny Phillips | Safety | Miami (FL)
San Diego needs a thumper next to Eric Weddle at safety after releasing disappointing Marlon McCree, and Phillips qualifies.
28) Dallas Cowboys – Antoine Cason | Cornerback | Arizona
Dallas has shown some interest in the rising Cason who makes sense as an initial nickelback behind Terrence Newman and Anthony Henry.
29) San Francisco 49ers (f/IND) – Jeff Otah | Offensive Tackle | Pittsburgh
San Francisco needs some stability at offensive tackle after "losing" Kwame Harris to Oakland.
30) Green Bay Packers – Aquib Talib | Cornerback | Kansas
Al Harris and Charles Woodson are a nice starting duo, but there is not much depth behind them and Talib is a great value pick here
31) New England Patriots - Forfeited
32) New York Giants – Reggie Smith | Defensive Back | Oklahoma
James Butler was disappointing as a starter for the Giants last year, which was very nicely masked by their amazing pass rush. Smith can push Butler to start at the very least, and possibly start in '09 over stopgap Sammy Knight, all while providing depth at cornerback.
33) Miami Dolphins - Joe Flacco | Quarterback | Delaware
The Fins get their stud left tackle #1 overall, and get the franchise quarterback they passed on in Flacco.
34) St. Louis Rams - DeSean Jackson | Wide Receiver | California
The Rams grab DeSean Jackson to supplement the tall Drew Bennett across from Tory Holt following the release of Issac Bruce
35) Atlanta Falcons (f/OAK) - Brian Brohm | Quarterback | Louisville
I fully expect Atlanta to try and package some of their second round picks to move up into the late-first and grab a signal caller like Flacco or Brohm, but if they feel they can wait on Brohm he definitely can fall to this spot.
36) Kansas City Chiefs - Malcolm Kelly | Wide Receiver | Oklahoma
A colossal fall for Kelly, who's inability to work out has many questioning the stability of his knees.
37) New York Jets - Dan Connor | Inside Linebacker | Penn State
Connor helps to replace Jonathan Vilma next to David Harris inside in the Jets 3-4
38) Atlanta Falcons - Chilo Rachal | Offensive Guard | Southern California
Rachal fits Atlanta's power-running scheme and can help pave the way for Michael Turner
39) Baltimore Ravens - Chad Henne | Quarterback | Michigan
The Ravens still have a need to fill at quarterback after passing on Matt Ryan in the first round.
40) San Francisco 49ers - Cliff Avril | Defensive End | Purdue
Avril is a bit of a reach here but many defensive ends have come out of Purdue and become successful pass-rushers at the next level and San Francisco needs someone to come off the edge.
41) New Orleans Saints - Patrick Lee | Cornerback | Auburn
The Saints have tried to get by with mediocre free agent signings at corner, so it is time to infuse some youth.
42) Buffalo Bills - Calais Campbell | Defensive End | Miami (FL)
Buffalo will take a long look at some of the tight ends on the board here, but can't pass on Campbell who will help in a rotation at defensive end
43) Denver Broncos - Sam Baker | Offensive Tackle | Southern California
The Broncos hope Ryan Harris can help at left tackle, but Baker provides insurance at the very worst if he fails to do so
44) Carolina Panthers - Trevor Laws | Defensive Tackle | Notre Dame
Kris Jenkins was dealt to the Jets and Damione Lewis is hardly starting material
45) Chicago Bears - James Hardy | Wide Receiver | Indiana
Brandon Lloyd is no lock to make the team, Marty Booker is the weakest #1 receiver in the league, and Mark Bradley is hardly a sure thing. Hardy provides some youth, depth and stability to the Chicago receiver corps.
46) Detroit Lions - Curtis Lofton | Inside Linebacker | Oklahoma
Detroit has been looking for a stud inside linebacker all off-season and finds their man here with Lofton.
47) Cincinnati Bengals - Jerod Mayo | Inside Linebacker | Tennessee
Mayo can play the middle or weakside, giving the Bengals young competition at the least for both Ahmad Brooks and Dhani Jones.
48) Minnesota Vikings - John Carlson | Tight End | Notre Dame
The Vikings just gave Visanthe Shiancoe a big deal in free agency, but are able to quickly admit their mistake by drafting the all-around talented Carlson to push him to start.
49) Atlanta Falcons - Brandon Flowers | Cornerback | Virginia Tech
The Virginia Tech connection will raise some eyebrows after Michael Vick's problems and DeAngelo Hall being dealt, but Flowers doesn't seem to have any serious baggage attached to him and will replace the aforementioned Hall.
50) Philadelphia Eagles - Earl Bennett | Wide Receiver | Vanderbilt
With Mario Manningham still on the board, the Eagles go for a different type of receiver in Bennett, someone they've shown a lot of early interest in. Bennett is a dual-threat, also helping a bit on returns, another area of need for Philly.
51) Arizona Cardinals - Tashard Choice | Running Back | Georgia Tech
Choice is higher on many team's draft boards than people think, and while he's not as quick as guys like Chris Johnson or Jamaal Charles, he is an all-around good runner who can help backup and eventually replace Edgerrin James.
52) Washington Redskins - Lawrence Jackson | Defensive End | Southern California
Jackson has some questions about him, but the Skins need depth at defensive end at the very least.
53) Tampa Bay Buccaneers - Anthony Collins | Offensive Tackle | Kansas
With hardly any needs at all, Tampa Bay takes a flier on Collins, a left tackle project with a high ceiling.
54) Pittsburgh Steelers - Early Doucet | Wide Receiver | Louisiana State
Big Ben may be looking for more of a James Hardy type, but shouldn't complain about Doucet as his "big" receiver. Despite being only 6'0, Doucet has a solid frame and has the intangibles the Steelers look for.
55) Tennessee Titans - Mario Manningham | Wide Receiver | Michigan
The Titans have a ton of young receivers on the roster who will be fighting for only a few spots, but Manningham is a talent they simply can't pass on here.
56) Seattle Seahawks - Carl Nicks | Offensive Tackle | Nebraska
Nicks can provide insurance inside at guard behind aging starters Mark Wahle and Chris Gray, and can possibly be in the mix to start at left tackle once Walter Jones calls it quits.
57) Green Bay Packers (f/CLE) - Fred Davis | Tight End | Southern California
A bit of a fall here for Davis, who will help backup and supplement starter Donald Lee
58) Miami Dolphins (f/SD) - Justin King | Cornerback | Penn State.
King helps provide depth and competition across from Will Allen in Miami.
59) Jacksonville Jaguars - Chris Ellis | Defensive End | Virginia Tech
Ellis isn't an elite end by any means but should help to replace Bobby McCray and could even push Reggie Hayward off the roster.
60) Indianapolis Colts - Chris Johnson | Running Back | East Carolina
Johnson helps provide insurance for Joseph Addai, and gives the Colts an extra option for the slot once Marvin Harrison moves on.
61) Green Bay Packers - DaJuan Morgan | Safety | North Carolina State
The Packers have invested a lot of draft picks in the safety position, but none of them have been anything too special and Morgan is a nice value here.
62) Dallas Cowboys - Lavelle Hawkins | Wide Receiver | California
Terry Glenn may be seeing his final days in the league and should be passing the starting job to Patrick Crayton, but Hawkins will help in the slot and could even push Crayton a bit more than some may expect.
63 New England Patriots - Charles Godfrey | Cornerback | Iowa
Godfrey can play both corner and safety, something the Patriots value. He figures to push to start at corner as a rookie in New England.
64) New York Giants - Tracy Porter | Cornerback | Indiana
A nice value here for the Giants who continue to build their secondary early in the draft.
Chris Long has been the most popular pick here, but many tend to overlook the fact that Miami may not have a true offensive tackle on their roster, let alone a left tackle.
2) St. Louis Rams – Chris Long | Defensive End | Virginia
Its becoming more clear that St. Louis wants to upgrade at defensive end, and they may go with Chris Long or Vernon Gholston even if Jake Long were available.
