FIRST ROUND
1 Panthers Cameron Newton QB Auburn*
Panthers at #1 overall need a franchise changing player, Newton will certainly be that.
2 Denver Broncos Von Miller OLB Texas A&M
Dareus imo projects as a solid but unspectacular player. Miller if used correctly is a sure fire superstar. SLB and a pass rush specialist on passing downs.
3 Buffalo Bills Marcell Dareus DT Alabama*
Consolation is Dareus for the leagues worst run defense. Id prefer Gabbert but apparently his stock is down.
4 Cincinnati Bengals AJ Green WR Georgia*
Stubborn ass M.Brown appears dead set on a skill position guy other than QB here. Soooo...
5 Arizona Cardinals Robert Quinn OLB/DE UNC*
Good potential for a trade here but if they truly go BPA it should be Peterson but Quinn is likely the second best rusher and is a scheme fit. He's arguably worthy of this spot depending on how you figure his senior season would have gone. Peterson looks more like a luxury pick with DRC and Toler in place-especially since Toler might have outplayed DRC last season. Quinn is righting his stock after the impressive pro day and can fill their greatest need after QB.
Browns trade #6 to the Dallas Cowboys for their #9 and #71
6 Dallas Cowboys - Patrick Peterson CB/FS LSU*
Been hearing rumors of this trade and Im starting to think its possible.
7 San Francisco 49ers Blaine Gabbert QB Missouri*
Gabbert's raw skills and intelligent mindset, approach to the game, are good starting points for a good coach to build from.
8 Tennessee Titans Nick Fairley DT Auburn*
Will require close monitoring but too talented too pass.
Dallas Cowboys trade #9 to Browns for their #6 and also give up their 3rd round pk #71
9 Cleveland Browns - J.J. Watt DE Wisconsin*
After being pegged as strictly a 5 tech Ive been hearing now some analysts figuring him just as capable in an even front. Has always been an ideal 43 LE imo who fits in well with the chemistry of the Browns.
10 Washington Redskins Julio Jones WR Alabama*
Skins would love to trade down but I dont see anyone willing to come up. I think it would be hard for the Skins to pass Jones for an Aldon Smith-maby a Cam Jordan but if a QB is targeted with their 2nd pick it would leave FA and mid to late options for a much needed WR.
11 Houston Texans - Prince Amukamara CB Nebraska
Prince is a natural leader and captain caliber player who is probably too good for the Texans to pass even after going Jackson in the first last draft.
12 Minnesota Vikings - Cameron Jordan DE/DT California
It would take brass to take Locker or Mallett here. Once the CBA is straightened out the Vikings will probably need a new LE. Jordan could also be viewed as the successor to K.Williams inside or, given his ability as a run defender, start alongside him. His versatility would give him the nod over Liuget. A.Smith imo is just not as sure a prospect as Jordan/Liuget.
13 Detroit Lions Tyron Smith OT USC*
Lions cant really pass up a possible future long term starter at LT.
14 St. Louis Rams Corey Liuget DT Illinois*
Generating quite a bit of buzz and might go higher than this.
15 Miami Dolphins - Jake Locker QB Washington
Dolphins might pull off a surprise with this pick. All the interest in Mallett, in a way, shows how desperate the Fins really are for a QB. Not that Mallett is garbage but his weaknesses are exactly the same as Hennes, if not worse-mobility and decision making, especially in the red zone. Daboll was one of the most interesting play callers last season and I can imagine some crazy stuff involving Locker.
16 Jacksonville Jaguars - Aldon Smith DE/OLB Missouri*
Ive read some things that say Gene Smith is preparing the defense for an eventual switch to a 3-4 defense after this year. Smith is the kind athlete/talent that could make a switch and hes also regarded as having more upside and natural talent than Kerrigan so he might get the nod here.
17 New England Patriots Ryan Kerrigan DE/OLB Purdue
Hard to project what direction BB will go or what he might think of Kerrigan as a OLB vs Heyward as a DE but Kerrigan fits the profile of previous BB type picks and helps the area of greatest need for the team.
18 San Diego Chargers - Cameron Heyward DE Ohio State
Remember that report early in the post season that the Chargers would draft Heyward? ..oops.
19 New York Giants - Mike Pouncey OC/G Florida
If Minn, Miami and NE pass, certainly the Giants wont.
20 Tampa Bay Buccaneers - Akeem Ayers OLB UCLA*
With Morris wanting to use more 3-4 looks to go along with the base 43 I cant see a prospect that fits as well in that scheme as Ayers. As for Bowers, if hes still on the board, Im not sure the reward outweighs the risk. Can the Bucs afford to invest in another first round defensive lineman who may not light it up as expected? Or pay big money to another guy with (potentially) chronic knee problems?
21 Kansas City Chiefs - Phil Taylor NT Colorado
The timing of the foot issue story looks questionable. NYJ fo guy came out and said he doesnt think its an issue who knows? But the character concerns are overblown and he looks like a solid fit in KC.
22 Indianapolis Colts Nate Solder OT Colorado
Raw and not ready to step in but on the Colts might not have to. Develops for a year and starts in 2012.
23 Philadelphia Eagles Anthony Costanzo OT/G Boston College
Stock seems to be taking a dip of late but the Eagles are probably interested in shoring up the right side of the line after benching Justice late.
24 New Orleans Saints - DaQuan Bowers DE Clemson*
Unless Bowers knee is finished the Saints cant really get any better than this pick. DC Williams prefers the traditional 43 base ends to the smaller quicker types and he fits. The risk/reward on him finally sways up about here to the Saints.
25 Seattle Seahawks Jimmy Smith CB Colorado
Carroll is the kind of coach that could buy into a guy like Smith. Rather than reaching for an offensive lineman or QB the Seahawks try for a steal here with Smith. If you ask me, though, hell bust. Reminds me of another Jimmy. Williams of Virgina Tech who flamed out for the Falcons.
26 Baltimore Ravens Gabe Carimi OT Wisconsin
Despite analysts criticizing his athletic ability, Carimi had the best senior season of the OTs and might even be able to play on the left side at the pro level.
27 Atlanta Falcons - Len Hankerson WR Miami
A slight reach and I almost projected them to trade down-in any case I see them targeting this guy. Leonard has generated a lot of buzz this post season and imo is the kind of hard working, productive guy the Falcons would covet. A sneaky productive type like Amani Toomer or Reggie Wayne.
Patriots trade #28 to the Tennessee Titans for their #39 and a conditional 2012 pk.
28 Tennessee Titans - Christian Ponder QB Florida State
I think you could find Was, Tenn, Minn, SF, and Sea all vying to get their QB. I don't really see the Dalton interest. Ponder offers the Titans a high character, potential rookie starter who can create with his feet.
29 Chicago Bears Derek Sherrod OT/G Mississippi State
Bears more likely to grab a blue chip O lineman early, then look to the defensive line in round 2.
Jets trade #30 to the Redskins for their #41 and receive a conditional 2012 (3rd)
30 Washington Redskins Colin Kaepernick QB Nevada
By quite a few accounts and my untrained eye, he was the best QB at Mobile despite making the transition from his college pistol offense. Much further along than I thought as a passer. Has a knack for coming through with a big play when the team needs it most-SN. General consensus is a 2nd-3rd round guy, who I can see a team coveting and reaching to draft, here or earlier.
31 Pittsburgh Steelers Dan Watkins OG Baylor
If you consider Pouncey a OC, which a lot of teams do, then Watkins is the top OG in the draft. The buzz is about A.Williams here but would you rather take the 4th best CB who might be more a FS, or the top interior offensive lineman and look at a CB in round 2?
32 Green Bay Packers - Brooks Reed OLB Arizona
A must be reading too much Bunting and SN and PFW and Mayock, who all dont consider Reed anything better than a 3-5th round pick. I must say he gets off very quickly and doesnt look near as linear as his critics say he is. At this point its looking like a stretch hes still available at #32 but Im still not buying completely in. It would start looking like Asgard in Green Bay if they land him.
SECOND ROUND
33. New England Patriots - Mark Ingram RB Alabama*
34. Buffalo Bills Ben Ijalana OT Villanova
35. Cincinnati Bengals Andy Dalton QB TCU
36. Denver Broncos Aaron Williams FS/CB Texas*
37. Cleveland Browns Greg Little WR North Carolina
One of my favorite guys who is finally getting some pub per Charlie Casserly.
38. Arizona Cardinals Kyle Rudolph TE Notre Dame*
Titans trade #39 and 2012 conditional to Patriots for their #28
39. New England Patriots (F/ Tennessee Titans) James Carpenter OT
Saban connection and pretty solid all around LT whos stock is up.
40. Dallas Cowboys Marcus Gilbert OT Florida
If they dont go OT in the first, they have to get the best on the board in the second.
Redskins trade #41 and future pick to the Jets for their #30
41. NewYork Jets (F/Washington) Dontay Moch OLB Nevada
42. Houston Texans Jabaal Sheard OLB/DE Pittsburgh
43. Minnesota Vikings Ryan Mallett QB Arkansas
44. Detroit Lions Ras I Dowling CB Virginia
45. San Francisco 49ers Justin Houston DE/OLB Georgia*
46. Denver Broncos (F/MIA) Marvin Austin DT UNC
47. St. Louis Rams Adrian Clayborn DE Iowa
Probably too good to pass up here but I do think Clayborn will see a freefall out the first.
48. Oakland Raiders James Brewer OT Indiana
Some scouts are really high on Brewer. Best fit is a zone scheme which I think the Raiders still use.
49. Jacksonville Jaguars Rahim Moore FS UCLA
50. San Diego Chargers Jon Baldwin WR Pittsburgh*
Larryesque and could get coveted earlier because of his mentoring by some of the leagues most respected.
51. Tampa Bay Buccaneers Muhammad Wilkerson DT Temple*
Not down on him but didn't see a good fit until here until Tampa. First round talent but not especially explosive. I guessing McCoy will see some time at DE this season and the T2 puts a premium on the inside rush.
52. New York Giants Bruce Carter OLB North Carolina
53. Indianapolis Colts Stephen Paea DT Oregon
54. Philadelphia Eagles Brandon Harris CB Miami*
55. Kansas City Chiefs Titus Young WR Boise State
56. New Orleans Saints - Mikel Leshoure RB Illinois*
Pierre has been like a mentor to this guy and a lot of analysts have a first round grade on him. If hes on the board I have a hard time seeing the Saints pass him.
57. Seattle Seahawks Will Rackley OG/T Lehigh
58. Baltimore Ravens Chris Carter OLB Fresno State
Big time sleeper who I think will go in the 2nd. The Ravens cant count on Sergio coming back 100% and making an impact.
59. Atlanta Falcons Christian Ballard DE Iowa
60. New England Patriots Torrey Smith WR Maryland*
Stock falling imo because hes potentially one dimensional. But thats exactly what NE needs after letting Randy go.
61. San Diego Chargers (F/NYJ) Kelvin Sheppard ILB LSU
62. Chicago Bears Terrell McClain DT USF
Taking a look back at his combine performance where he showed the feet and movement skills of a LB its not surprising hes such a rising prospect but hes got some of the same concerns as Fairley.
63. Pittsburgh Steelers Curtis Brown CB Texas
64. Green Bay Packers Rodney Hudson OG Florida State
THIRD ROUND
65. Carolina Panthers Jarvis Jenkins DT Clemson
Under the radar guy who reportedly is drawing some buzz and will not get out of the second round per Mayock. Just barely.
66. Cincinnati Bengals Marcus Gilchrist FS Clemson
67. Denver Broncos Quan Sturdivant ILB North Carolina
68. Buffalo Bills Sam Acho DE/OLB Texas
69. Arizona Cardinals Clint Boiling OG Georgia
70. Cleveland Browns Jah Reid OT UCF
I thought I had him too high here in the third and was shocked to see Parcells have a 2nd round grade on him :)
71. Cleveland Browns Kenrick Ellis DT Hampton
72. New Orleans Saints (F/WAS) Mason Foster LB Washington
73. Houston Texans Johnny Patrick CB Louisville
74. New England Patriots (F/MINN) Allen Bailey DE Miami
75. Detroit Lions Martez Wilson LB Illinois*
Stiffness on tape and at the combine, poor pro day and med concerns likely to drop him.
76. San Francisco 49ers Devon House CB New Mexico State
77. Tennessee Titans Randall Cobb WR Kentucky*
78. St. Louis Rams Greg Salas WR Hawaii
79. Miami Dolphins Ryan Williams RB Virginia Tech*
80. Jacksonville Jaguars Curtis Marsh CB Utah State
81. Oakland Raiders Shareece Wright CB USC
82. San Diego Rock Carmichael CB Virginia Tech
83. New York Giants Daniel Thomas RB Kansas St*
84. Tampa Bay Buccaneers Pernell McPhee DE Mississippi State
Despite running slow in the post season-strictly off his tape-Mcphee was considered a probable 2nd round pick.
85. Philadelphia Eagles Jaiquawn Jarrett SS Temple
86. Kansas City Chiefs - Orlando Franklin OG Miami
87. Indianapolis Colts Taiwan Jones RB Eastern Washington
88. New Orleans Saints Jurrell Cassey DT USC*
89. San Diego Chargers (F/SEA) K.J.Wright LB Mississippi State
90. Baltimore Ravens Ed Gates WR Abilene Christian
91. Atlanta Falcons Kendall Hunter RB Oklahoma State
92. New England Patriots John Moffitt OC Wisconsin
93. Chicago Bears Stefan Wisniewski OC Penn State
94. New York Jets Cedric Thornton DE Southern Arkansas
95. Pittsburgh Steelers Lance Kendricks TE Wisconsin
96. Green Bay Packers Cecil Shorts WR Mount Union
97. Carolina Panthers Tandon Doss WR Indiana*
FOURTH ROUND
98. Carolina Panthers Drake Nevis DT LSU
99. Seattle Seahawks (F/DEN) Brandon Burton CB Utah*
100. Buffalo Bills Nate Irving LB NC State
101. Cincinnati Bengals Greg Romeus DE Pittsburgh
102. Cleveland Browns Shane Vereen RB California*
103. Arizona Cardinals Marcus Cannon OT TCU
104. Philadelphia Eagles (F/WAS) Demarco Murray RB Oklahoma
105. Houston Texans Jerrel Jernigan WR Troy
106. Minnesota Vikings Jalil Brown CB Colorado
107. Detroit Lions Zach Hurd OG UConn
108. San Francisco 49ers Austin Pettis WR Boise State

112. St. Louis Rams Jordan Todman RB UConn*
113. Oakland Raiders Ross Homan OLB Ohio State
114. Jacksonville Jaguars Greg Jones LB Michigan State
115. San Francisco 49ers (F/SD) Sione Fua NT Stanford

126. New York Jets Jason Pinkston OT/G Pittsburgh
127. Chicago Bears Jermale Hines S Ohio State
128. Pittsburgh Steelers Jerrell Powe NT Mississippi
129. Green Bay Packers Derek Locke RB Kentucky

144. Washington Redskins Jaquizz Rodgers RB Oregon State*
145. St. Louis Rams Deandre McDaniel S Clemson

Has a knack for coming through with a big play when the team needs it most-SN. General consensus is a 2nd-3rd round guy, who I can see a team coveting and reaching to draft, here or earlier.
31 Pittsburgh Steelers Dan Watkins OG Baylor
If you consider Pouncey a OC, which a lot of teams do, then Watkins is the top OG in the draft. The buzz is about A.Williams here but would you rather take the 4th best CB who might be more a FS, or the top interior offensive lineman and look at a CB in round 2?
32 Green Bay Packers - Brooks Reed OLB Arizona
A must be reading too much Bunting and SN and PFW and Mayock, who all dont consider Reed anything better than a 3-5th round pick. I must say he gets off very quickly and doesnt look near as linear as his critics say he is. At this point its looking like a stretch hes still available at #32 but Im still not buying completely in. It would start looking like Asgard in Green Bay if they land him.
SECOND ROUND
33. New England Patriots - Mark Ingram RB Alabama*
34. Buffalo Bills Ben Ijalana OT Villanova
35. Cincinnati Bengals Andy Dalton QB TCU
36. Denver Broncos Aaron Williams FS/CB Texas*
37. Cleveland Browns Greg Little WR North Carolina
One of my favorite guys who is finally getting some pub per Charlie Casserly.
38. Arizona Cardinals Kyle Rudolph TE Notre Dame*
Titans trade #39 and 2012 conditional to Patriots for their #28
39. New England Patriots (F/ Tennessee Titans) James Carpenter OT
Saban connection and pretty solid all around LT whos stock is up.
40. Dallas Cowboys Marcus Gilbert OT Florida
If they dont go OT in the first, they have to get the best on the board in the second.
Redskins trade #41 and future pick to the Jets for their #30
41. NewYork Jets (F/Washington) Dontay Moch OLB Nevada
42. Houston Texans Jabaal Sheard OLB/DE Pittsburgh
43. Minnesota Vikings Ryan Mallett QB Arkansas
44. Detroit Lions Ras I Dowling CB Virginia
45. San Francisco 49ers Justin Houston DE/OLB Georgia*
46. Denver Broncos (F/MIA) Marvin Austin DT UNC
47. St. Louis Rams Adrian Clayborn DE Iowa
Probably too good to pass up here but I do think Clayborn will see a freefall out the first.
48. Oakland Raiders James Brewer OT Indiana
Some scouts are really high on Brewer. Best fit is a zone scheme which I think the Raiders still use.
49. Jacksonville Jaguars Rahim Moore FS UCLA
50. San Diego Chargers Jon Baldwin WR Pittsburgh*
Larryesque and could get coveted earlier because of his mentoring by some of the leagues most respected.
51. Tampa Bay Buccaneers Muhammad Wilkerson DT Temple*
Not down on him but didn't see a good fit until here until Tampa. First round talent but not especially explosive. I guessing McCoy will see some time at DE this season and the T2 puts a premium on the inside rush.
52. New York Giants Bruce Carter OLB North Carolina
53. Indianapolis Colts Stephen Paea DT Oregon
54. Philadelphia Eagles Brandon Harris CB Miami*
55. Kansas City Chiefs Titus Young WR Boise State
56. New Orleans Saints - Mikel Leshoure RB Illinois*
Pierre has been like a mentor to this guy and a lot of analysts have a first round grade on him. If hes on the board I have a hard time seeing the Saints pass him.
57. Seattle Seahawks Will Rackley OG/T Lehigh
58. Baltimore Ravens Chris Carter OLB Fresno State
Big time sleeper who I think will go in the 2nd. The Ravens cant count on Sergio coming back 100% and making an impact.
59. Atlanta Falcons Christian Ballard DE Iowa
60. New England Patriots Torrey Smith WR Maryland*
Stock falling imo because hes potentially one dimensional. But thats exactly what NE needs after letting Randy go.
61. San Diego Chargers (F/NYJ) Kelvin Sheppard ILB LSU
62. Chicago Bears Terrell McClain DT USF
Taking a look back at his combine performance where he showed the feet and movement skills of a LB its not surprising hes such a rising prospect but hes got some of the same concerns as Fairley.
63. Pittsburgh Steelers Curtis Brown CB Texas
64. Green Bay Packers Rodney Hudson OG Florida State
THIRD ROUND
65. Carolina Panthers Jarvis Jenkins DT Clemson
Under the radar guy who reportedly is drawing some buzz and will not get out of the second round per Mayock. Just barely.
66. Cincinnati Bengals Marcus Gilchrist FS Clemson
67. Denver Broncos Quan Sturdivant ILB North Carolina
68. Buffalo Bills Sam Acho DE/OLB Texas
69. Arizona Cardinals Clint Boiling OG Georgia
70. Cleveland Browns Jah Reid OT UCF
I thought I had him too high here in the third and was shocked to see Parcells have a 2nd round grade on him :)
71. Cleveland Browns Kenrick Ellis DT Hampton
72. New Orleans Saints (F/WAS) Mason Foster LB Washington
73. Houston Texans Johnny Patrick CB Louisville
74. New England Patriots (F/MINN) Allen Bailey DE Miami
75. Detroit Lions Martez Wilson LB Illinois*
Stiffness on tape and at the combine, poor pro day and med concerns likely to drop him.
76. San Francisco 49ers Devon House CB New Mexico State
77. Tennessee Titans Randall Cobb WR Kentucky*
78. St. Louis Rams Greg Salas WR Hawaii
79. Miami Dolphins Ryan Williams RB Virginia Tech*
80. Jacksonville Jaguars Curtis Marsh CB Utah State
81. Oakland Raiders Shareece Wright CB USC
82. San Diego Rock Carmichael CB Virginia Tech
83. New York Giants Daniel Thomas RB Kansas St*
84. Tampa Bay Buccaneers Pernell McPhee DE Mississippi State
Despite running slow in the post season-strictly off his tape-Mcphee was considered a probable 2nd round pick.
85. Philadelphia Eagles Jaiquawn Jarrett SS Temple
86. Kansas City Chiefs - Orlando Franklin OG Miami
87. Indianapolis Colts Taiwan Jones RB Eastern Washington
88. New Orleans Saints Jurrell Cassey DT USC*
89. San Diego Chargers (F/SEA) K.J.Wright LB Mississippi State
90. Baltimore Ravens Ed Gates WR Abilene Christian
91. Atlanta Falcons Kendall Hunter RB Oklahoma State
92. New England Patriots John Moffitt OC Wisconsin
93. Chicago Bears Stefan Wisniewski OC Penn State
94. New York Jets Cedric Thornton DE Southern Arkansas
95. Pittsburgh Steelers Lance Kendricks TE Wisconsin
96. Green Bay Packers Cecil Shorts WR Mount Union
97. Carolina Panthers Tandon Doss WR Indiana*

98. Carolina Panthers Drake Nevis DT LSU
99. Seattle Seahawks (F/DEN) Brandon Burton CB Utah*
100. Buffalo Bills Nate Irving LB NC State
101. Cincinnati Bengals Greg Romeus DE Pittsburgh

103. Arizona Cardinals Marcus Cannon OT TCU
104. Philadelphia Eagles (F/WAS) Demarco Murray RB Oklahoma
105. Houston Texans Jerrel Jernigan WR Troy
106. Minnesota Vikings Jalil Brown CB Colorado
107. Detroit Lions Zach Hurd OG UConn

112. St. Louis Rams Jordan Todman RB UConn*
113. Oakland Raiders Ross Homan OLB Ohio State
114. Jacksonville Jaguars Greg Jones LB Michigan State
115. San Francisco 49ers (F/SD) Sione Fua NT Stanford
116. Tampa Bay Buccaneers Josh Thomas CB Buffalo

128. Pittsburgh Steelers Jerrell Powe NT Mississippi
129. Green Bay Packers Derek Locke RB Kentucky
A steal.

144. Washington Redskins Jaquizz Rodgers RB Oregon State*
145. St. Louis Rams Deandre McDaniel S Clemson
146. Miami Dolphins Lee Zeimba OG Auburn
