Round One
1. Detroit Lions - QB Matt Stafford, Georgia - The Lions have issues everywhere but a franchise quarterback is the biggest need.
2. St. Louis Rams - OT Andre Smith, Alabama - Stud lineman could start at guard and take over at left tackle once Pace calls it quits.
3. Kansas City Chiefs - DE Brian Orakpo, Texas - The Chiefs pass rush has been pathetic this season. I have them passing on Bradford because I believe Thigpen did a damn good job considering it was his first year as a starter.
4. Seattle Seahawks - QB Sam Bradford, Oklahoma - Hasselbeck is going to be done really really soon so they need to start developing his replacement. Bradford is a great fit in the WCO and could use the extra year to develop behind Hasselbeck.
5. Cleveland Browns - CB Malcom Jenkins, Ohio State - The Browns could use an elite talent like Jenkins in the secondary.
6. Cincinnati Bengals - OLB Aaron Curry, Wake Forest - Stud linebacker will start week one at strong side linebacker.
7. Oakland Raiders - WR Michael Crabtree, Texas Tech - Al Davis loves to draft skill positions. Crabtree gives the Russell a legit number one receiver for the first time in his career.
8. Jacksonville Jaguars - OT Eugene Monroe, Virginia - Khalif Barnes is a free agent and can definitely be improved on. Monroe has all the tools to be a franchise left tackle.
9. Green Bay Packers - OT Jason Smith, Baylor - The smallish athletic Smith is a perfect fit in the Packers zone blocking scheme.
10. San Franciso 49ers - S Taylor Mays, Southern Cal - Mays takes over for the terrible Mark Roman and provides the physical presence that Singletary likes.
11. Buffalo Bills - DE Aaron Maybin, Penn State - The Bills starting ends combined for 3 sacks. Maybin has a ton of potential and will at least be a beast 3rd down pass rusher.
12. Denver Broncos - RB Chris Wells, Ohio State - With Shanahan gone you figure they will try and get a franchise back for the first time in ages. With Mays gone and no linebacker worth the pick they go with by far the BPA.
13. Washington Redskins - OT Michael Oher, Mississippi - The Redskins starting tackles are aging so Oher can eventually replace either one. He can start immediately in place of Kendall and be groomed at tackle.
14. New Orleans Saints - DT B.J. Raji, Boston College - I understand all Saints fans believe they will be trading the pick, but I don't do trades. Raji teams up with Ellis to form a great young interior line.
15. Houston Texans - WR Jeremy Maclin, Missouri - Andre Johnson can't catch 12 balls every game, and Maclin is the BPA. Maclin + Johnson = Holy ****!
16. San Diego Chargers - ILB Rey Maualuga, Southern Cal - Best inside linebacker in the draft adds a killer instinct to a defense that has struggled at times to be physical.
17. New York Jets - CB Vontae Davis, Illinois - Revis is a shut down corner but everyone else at the position has been pretty terrible.
18. Chicago Bears - DE Everette Brown, Florida State - The Bears pass rush was uncharactistically bad this season.
19. Tampa Bay Buccaneers - DE Greg Hardy, Mississipi - If not for injuries Hardy would probably have been a top 5 pick this season. I have him as the BPA and a good fit to team up with Adams.
20. Detroit Lions (from Dallas) - ILB Brandon Spikes, Florida - Drafting Dizon to play middle linebacker was an epic fail.
21. Arizona Cardinals - RB Knowshon Moreno, Georgia - Hightower cannot get the job done as a full time back and James is probably gone.
22. Philadelphia Eagles - OT Trent Williams, Oklahoma - Stud tackle to take over for one of the starters that are free agents.
23. Minnesota Vikings - QB Josh Freeman, Kansas State - Jackson will never be the full time starter and Freeman has tons of ability.
24. New England Patriots - CB Alphonso Smith, Wake Forest - Great cover corner and physical player who is a perfect fit on their defense.
25. Atlanta Falcons - TE Jermaine Gresham, Oklahoma - Easily the best tight end in the draft. Think of how good Ryan will be with a safety valve/red zone threat like Gresham.
26. Miami Dolphins - OLB Clint Sintim, Virginia - Gives the Dolphins another pass rushing threat other than Porter.
27. Baltimore Ravens - WR Darius Heyward-Bey, Maryland - Deep threat for Flacco's cannon arm.
28. Indianapolis Colts - DT Sen'Derrick Marks, Auburn - Arguably the best tackle in college football before he was injured this season. Great fit in the Tampa 2.
29. Pittsburgh Steelers - OT Eben Britton, Arizona - Not your typical Steelers lineman who is huge and a better run blocker than pass blocker. Britton won't destroy people but he will lengthen Big Ben's career by a few years.
30. New York Giants - DE Michael Johnson, Georgia Tech - Freak athlete who is exactly the type of player the Giants covet on defense.
31. Tennessee Titans - WR Percy Harvin, Florida - Harvin's speed and ability to run the ball make him a great fit in the Titans offense.
32. Philadelphia Eagles (from Carolina) - S William Moore, Missouri - Moore had a pretty bad senior season but he has the ability to be a good replacement for Dawkins.
Round Two
33. Detroit Lions - C Alex Mack, California - Mack is a tremendous player who is an upgrade at any of the 3 interior positions.
34. St. Louis Rams - CB D.J. Moore, Vanderbilt - The Rams corners have been really bad this season.
35. Kansas City Chiefs - ILB James Laurinaits, Ohio State - Pat Thomas was garbage this season.
36. Seattle Seahawks - WR Kenny Britt, Rutgers - Big, talented new target for Bradford.
37. Cleveland Browns - OLB Brian Cushing, Southern Cal - Could play any linebacker position in the 3-4.
38. Cincinnati Bengals - C Max Unger, Oregon - The Bengals haven't had a decent center in a while. His intelligence and run blocking ability make this a no brainer pick.
39. Oakland Raiders - OT William Beatty, Connecticut - Kwame Harris is the worst left tackle in NFL history and Henderson is a better fit on the right side.
40. Jacksonville Jaguars - CB Trevard Lindley, Kentucky - I have Lindley as the BPA and he would at least be a great nickel for the Jags.
41. Green Bay Packers - DE Tyson Jackson, Louisiana State - I'm not as high on Jackson as a lot of people are but I think the Packers won't pass on his versatility.
42. San Franciso 49ers - OT Phil Loadholt, Oklahoma - Monster right tackle fills a huge need on the Niners line.
43. Buffalo Bills - TE Jared Cook, South Carolina - Excellent size and freak athletic ability make him a dangerous receiver.
44. Denver Broncos - DT Peria Jerry, Mississippi - Athletic under tackle is a good fit in the cover 2.
45. Miami Dolphins (from Redskins) - CB Darius Butler, Connecticut - As improved as the Dolphins were their corners still struggled quite a bit.
46. New York Giants (from Saints) - OT Jamon Meridith, South Carolina - Extremely versatile lineman could play just about every position on the line.
47. Houston Texans - S Rashad Johnson, Alabama - The Texans secondary struggled mightily this season.
48. New England Patriots - OLB Clay Matthews, Southern Cal - Matthews could play any of the 4 linebacker spots.
49. New York Jets - WR Brandon LaFell, Louisiana State - Dangerous receiver is groomed to take over for the always injured Coles.
50. Chicago Bears - OG Duke Robinson, Oklahoma - Monster run blocker drastically improves the interior line.
51. Tampa Bay Buccaneers - RB C.J. Spiller, Clemson - I can't see Cadillac coming back and Dunn is ancient. Spiller teams up with Graham to form a formidable duo.
52. Dallas Cowboys - S Louis Delmas, Western Michigan - The Cowboys safeties have not played well this season.
53. Arizona Cardinals - OT Troy Kropog, Tulane - Gandy is a free agent and Kropog is the BPA.
54. Philadelphia Eagles - TE Brandon Pettigrew, Oklahoma State - One of BPA and fills a need.
55. Minnesota Vikings - C Jonathan Luigs, Arkansas - Birk is a free agent and I don't think Sullivan has the ability to be a good starter.
56. New England Patriots - RB Donald Brown, Connecticut - Maroney has bee a disappointment and most of their other backs are over 30.
57. Atlanta Falcons - S Patrick Chung, Oregon - Strong safety to take over for free agent Milloy.
58. Miami Dolphins - WR Hakeem Nicks, North Carolina - Big receiver would be a good compliment to Ginn.
59. Baltimore Ravens - CB Macho Harris, Virginia Tech - Physical corner is a good fit and fills a need for the Ravens.
60. Indianapolis Colts - RB Rashad Jennings, Liberty - The Colts running game was terrible this season.
61. Pittsburgh Steelers - OLB Larry English, Northern Illinois - English is an excellent pass rusher and good fit in the 3-4.
62. New York Giants - TE Chase Coffman, Missouri - Stud tight end to split time with Boss.
63. Tennessee Titans - CB Captain Munnerlyn, South Carolina - The Titans have a couple free agents at corner.
64. Carolina Panthers - QB Rhett Bomar, Sam Houston State - Delhomme is old and they don't have a capable young player on the roster.
1. Detroit Lions - QB Matt Stafford, Georgia - The Lions have issues everywhere but a franchise quarterback is the biggest need.
2. St. Louis Rams - OT Andre Smith, Alabama - Stud lineman could start at guard and take over at left tackle once Pace calls it quits.
