1. Carolina :: Marcell Dareus, DL, Alabama
Safest Elite out there imo, he has alot of athleticism for a big guy, is very disruptive versus the run and the pass.
2. Denver :: Da’Quan Bowers, DE, Clemson
Denver will be getting back Dumervil, but with only one viable pass rusher their defensive backfield will be exposed, Bowers will benefit alot because of the attention to Elvis, and in turn their experienced backfield can make plays like they used to previously in their careers.
3. Buffalo :: Von Miller, OLB, Texas A&M
Buffalo doesn't need a quarterback, Fitzpatrick is head and shoulders above these prospects at the moment, and really showed why he deserves the position. Their defense was average, and a passrusher would be nice for a change.
4. Cincinnati :: AJ Green, WR, Georgia
You can't pass up an elite player, especially when it is a need. Carson Palmer requested a trade, but maybe giving him a young target that doesn't have the headache of TO-no or ocho-stinko.
5. Arizona :: Robert Quinn, DE, North Carolina
Peterson or Quinn? Passrush always wins in my book.
6. Cleveland :: JJ Watt, DE, Wisconsin
Watt has vastly increased his draft stock, showing that he is very athletic and has the ability to play any position in a 4-3 and maybe even 3-4 DE
7. San Francisco :: Patrick Peterson, CB, Louisiana State
No brainer
8. Tennessee :: Nick Fairley, DT, Auburn
when was tennessee's defense at its best? Fairley has some character concerns, but he could be just as disruptive as Haynesworth at his prime.
9. Dallas :: Cameron Jordan, DE, California
Jordan is versatile, he uses his hands well, and seems to be one of the most polished DL players of the class. He has an excellent grasp of the game, and seems like an ideal 3-4 end.
10. Washington :: Julio Jones, WR, Alabama
no brainer
11. Houston :: Aldon Smith, OLB, Missouri
Prince would be a decent pick here, but corners aren't usually as valuable as passrushers, and the conversion to 3-4 calls for an injection of such. Smith is eerily similar to JPP, who had some success last year in a 4-3 system with limited time.
12. Minnesota :: Blaine Gabbert, QB, Missouri
Top QB, not a fan of this pick, and Webb showed great promise. This is purely risk/reward imo.
13. Detroit ::Gabe Carimi, OT, Wisconsin
Its about that time.
14. *San Diego (f/ St. Louis)* :: Ryan Kerrigan, DE, Purdue
3-4 DE or 3-4 OLB, either way San Diego fills a hole.
15. Miami :: Mark Ingram, RB, Alabama
I think they bring Henne back, pass on Newton. Ingram is a safe pick, he may not be spectacular, but he has the overall game to be a good starter.
16. Jacksonville :: Cameron Newton, QB, Auburn
They passed on Teebow, actually made a great pick with Alualu. This time around they will get a better prospect, although he isn't a hometown hero.
17. New England (f/OAK) :: Mike Pouncey, OL, Florida
not sure where he'd play but maybe we're all underrating him because of his atrocious snapping.
18. St. Louis (f/ San Diego) :: Prince Amukamara, CB, Nebraska
Traded down after they missed out on Julio Jones, picked up a guy who they couldve targeted before.
19. New York Giants :: Tyron Smith, OT, USC
Smith could play either RT or LT imo, which makes it possible to still give Beatty a chance at the blindside.
20. Tampa Bay :: Martez Wilson, LB, Illinois
fits the tampa 2 to a 'T'
21. Kansas City :: Phil Taylor, NT, Baylor
consider me on the bandwagon
22. Indianapolis :: Anthony Castonzo, OT, Boston College
smart, reliable, wont overpower anyone, but fits the Indy offense pretty well i think.
23. Philadelphia :: Jimmy Smith, CB, Colorado
They let their lockdown go to cleveland, samuels didnt do as well, Smith has the tools to be even better than Prince (and i think he will) and will create more opportunities for Samuels to pick it off.
24. New Orleans :: Cameron Heyward, DL, Ohio State
Ironhead Heyward, only he's a DL.
25. Seattle :: Jake Locker, QB, Washington
college QB and a college coach, i think it can work.
26. Baltimore :: Torrey Smith, WR, Maryland
I dont see a deep threat, Boldin and Who'syourmomma are both more possession receivers, Smith can stretch the field and put that rocket arm to some use.
27. Atlanta :: Justin Houston, OLB, Georgia
Great blend of size and speed, although i think he's better fitted for a 3-4, he still has the strength to hold up the edge as well as get after the qb.
28. New England :: Muhammed Wilkerson, DT/DE, Temple
Underrated player, he may have played against weaker competition but he still looks like NFL ready.
29. Chicago :: Derrick Sherrod, OT, Mississippi State
you wanted it, you got it. Sherrod is also a guy id like the giants to look at, but he doesn't seem to be on the level of the first 4 as far as draft stock.
30. New York Jets :: Jonathan Baldwin, WR, Pittsburgh
Could have Vincent Jackson-esque impact on the NFL.
31. Pittsburgh :: Nate Solder, OT, Colorado
Risk/Reward, but with all of the hardnosed defensive players solder should get enough practice and become less of a pattie-caker. Once that happens, he'll be a major steal.
32. Green Bay :: Adrian Clayborn, DE, Iowa
Took a nosedive from the beginning of the college season to now, still worth the pick despite his senior slump.
33. New England :: Brooks Reed, OLB, Arizona
the next clay matthews?
Notable players left:
Brandon Harris, CB, Miami(FL)
Corey Liuget, DT, Illinois
