1. OAKLAND RAIDERS- JaMarcus Russell QB LSU
Ultimately you have to begin with a QB to rebuild one of the worst offenses in recent memory. Joe Thomas could be considered, as well as Calvin Johnson.
2. DETROIT LIONS- Joe Thomas OT Wisconsin
If Jon Kitna's really their guy then they have to give him some protection.
3. CLEVELAND BROWNS- Alan Branch DT Michigan
A Nose Tackle to clog the middle of that 3-4.
4. TAMPA BAY BUCCANEERS- Calvin Johnson WR Georgia Tech
The best player in the draft is available at number 4? This pick should take 30 seconds to hand in the envelope and Jon Gruden is drooling over the thought of building his passing game around the best receiver prospect in years.
5. ARIZONA CARDINALS- Gaines Adams DE Clemson
They would love to trade up for Joe Thomas or trade down for Levi Brown, but they also are in dire need of an impact pass rusher, and I’m not predicting trades.
6. WASHINGTON REDSKINS- Jamaal Anderson DE Arkansas
They would rather stuff Big Alan Branch in the middle but with him off the board they opt for a pass rusher who they could end up building their Front-7 around.
7. MINNESOTA VIKINGS- Brady Quinn QB Notre Dame
Tavaris Jackson was a second-rounder last year but Quinn at number 7 is too good to pass up. If he is already gone then they would love Gaines Adams or Jamaal Anderson.
8. HOUSTON TEXANS- Levi Brown OT Penn State
Throughout their existence they have never found a stud Tackle and it's time they gave Carr (or someone else) some protection. Look for Quinn as another possibility here if he slips this far, or even Adrian Peterson.
9. MIAMI DOLPHINS- Amobi Okoye DT Louisville
After solidifying their pass-rush with Joey Porter opposite Jason Taylor, they look for an interior lineman to balance it out. Offensive Line is also a possibility, and although they have high hopes for Jason Allen, don’t rule out DB, depending on where they decide to play him.
10. ATLANTA FALCONS- LaRon Landry S LSU
Lawyer Milloy is not getting any younger and Landry (the best defensive player in this year’s draft in my opinion) at 10 could end being a major steal even though it may not have seemed that way a few weeks ago.
11. SAN FRANCISCO 49ERS- Adam Carriker DL Nebraska
Carriker will give Nolan plenty of options. His versatility will become invaluable in the process of upgrading a defense on the rise.
12. BUFFALO BILLS- Adrian Peterson RB Oklahoma
How on earth could he fall this far? Dick Jauron will be falling out of his chair if Peterson is available at 12, and despite some durability concerns, there is no reason he should be available here, but each team before has more pressing needs. With McGahee gone to Baltimore, Buffalo is filling its biggest need, although CB is also an option here.
13. ST. LOUIS RAMS- Leon Hall CB Michigan
It is no secret that their defense is not good, and they could use more depth in the secondary.
14. CAROLINA PANTHERS- Patrick Willis ILB Ole Miss
Dan Morgan’s future is in question and the loss of Will Witherspoon to free agency a year ago still hurts, so they could use at the very least some depth at the position. If Brady Quinn slips this far though (think Aaron Rodgers), there will be no debate with this pick.
15. PITTSBURGH STEELERS- Jarvis Moss DE/OLB Florida
With Joey Porter out of town, they need someone to fill his void, and the switch to the 4-3 under Tomlin allows Moss to be a pass-rushing End, where he is more comfortable, but he can also step in at 3-4 OLB if they ever throw in old looks from that system.
16. GREEN BAY PACKERS- Marshawn Lynch RB Cal
A no-brainer after Ahman Green's departure, and relieves some pressure off of Brett Favre and an offense on the rise.
17. JACKSONVILLE JAGUARS- Reggie Nelson S Florida
Donovan Darius is nearing the end of his career and Deon Grant is no sure-thing to return, and the Jags could use another playmaker on defense. WR and LB are also possibilities here.
18. CINCINNATI BENGALS- Chris Houston CB Arkansas
Tory James and Deltha O'Neal both had terrible years, and Houston’s addition would make a tremendous young 1-2 punch with Jonathan Joseph, last year's 1st round pick.
19. TENNESSEE TITANS- Ted Ginn, Jr. WR/KR Ohio State
Drew Bennett is gone, David Givens was hurt most of the season, and Vince Young can't do it all to his legs. Ginn’s world-class speed is nothing to take lightly, and Pacman Jones’ future as a Kick Returner and a Titan is certainly no sure thing. If Marshawn Lynch is still available, he may get a strong look as well after Travis Henry's release.
20. NEW YORK GIANTS- Lawrence Timmons LB Florida State
Marshawn Lynch would be slotted here if still available, but after getting rid of both starting OLB, this one seems like a no-brainer, but don’t rule out Offensive Line or Safety.
21. DENVER BRONCOS- Anthony Spencer DE Purdue
A pass rusher is the answer here after solidifying RB (Travis Henry) and the empty starting CB slot (Dre' Bly), although OL is never out of the question.
22. DALLAS COWBOYS- Darrelle Revis CB Pittsburgh
Anthony Henry may move to Free Safety and they could use a playmaking coverman to complement Roy Williams' in-the-box style.
23. KANSAS CITY CHIEFS- Justin Blalock OL Texas
Will Shields’ and/or Willie Roaf’s replacement, he could project to either position.
24. NEW ENGLAND PATRIOTS (f/SEA)- Jon Beason LB The U
Now that OLB has been filled with the versatile playmaker Adalius Thomas, I am convinced that the Pats are looking for a playmaking inside 'backer as a complement and as a trainee. They would love Willis to learn from Tedy Bruschi, but Beason is the pick since Willis is long gone.
25. NEW YORK JETS- Greg Olsen TE The U
Eric Mangini has put the offense together brilliantly by adding Thomas Jones, and Olsen is the final piece that, depending on the kind of Quarterback play they get from Pennington, could potentially be very threatening.
26. PHILADELPHIA EAGLES- Michael Griffin S Texas
Sean Considine is not a starter, and Griffin gets a chance to learn from one of the best of this generation in Brian Dawkins. This pick is a no-brainer.
27. NEW ORLEANS SAINTS- Marcus McCauley CB Fresno State
Their offense is set, and their secondary could use some young playmakers. May even be a better prospect than Richard Marshall was last year, and Marshall had a great rookie campaign in Carolina.
28. NEW ENGLAND PATRIOTS- Brandon Meriweather S The U
It is merely a coincidence that both picks for the Pats are from The U. Meriweather is a tremendous athlete that is a 1st-rounder if he can sort out both on and off-the-field issues. Rodney Harrison's replacement will also provide some much-needed depth in the secondary. The Pats could go in any direction with this or the 24th pick, including trading up or down.
29. BALTIMORE RAVENS- Paul Posluszny OLB Penn State
Adalius Thomas is gone and although “Puz” is not as versatile as Thomas, who really is? He will step in to compete for the starting spot right away. Never rule out OL either.
30. SAN DIEGO CHARGERS- Robert Meachem WR Tennessee
They are lacking a true number 1 receiver. LB is also possible but there is not good value here.
31. CHICAGO BEARS- Arron Sears OL Tennessee
Their Offensive Line is not getting any younger and Sears is a versatile player who could be slotted in at either Guard or Tackle.
32. INDIANAPOLIS COLTS- Buster Davis LB Florida State
Davis has the quickness to play outside as well as inside, and although he is vastly undersized, he is the type of player that the Champs have seemed to find a role for in their defense. OLB is a need with Cato June being an unrestricted free agent, and Rob Morris is not a legitimate starter.
Ultimately you have to begin with a QB to rebuild one of the worst offenses in recent memory. Joe Thomas could be considered, as well as Calvin Johnson.
