ROUND 1
1. RAMS
QB Sam Bradford
I am still not sure that this is the right choice. However, their choice is pretty clear with them letting Bulger hit the blacktop. Bradford has the chance to be a very good QB in this league, but they better make some moves to protect him. The trade of Carriker does muddy the water a bit, but right now they have noone to play.
2. LIONS
DT Ndamukong Suh
Suh is a rare talent at DT. The Lions have made some nice moves the last 18 months, and Suh should be a difference maker up front for their defense.
3. BUCCANEERS
DT Gerald McCoy
They loved Warren Sapp in Tampa and McCoy does a fair impersonation. They need to upgrade all over and he is a big time talent.
4. REDSKINS
OT Russell Okung
Point Blank, if McNabb doesn't survive the season, the Skins wasted a lot of time and money.
5. CHIEFS
OT Trent Williams
KC made 2 moves to upgrade their Offensive Line (Wiegmann and Lilja) to give depth on the interior. Lilja will likely start. Those are very good, and put them one quality Lineman from having a very good line. Williams was a star up and down the line for the Sooners and they could pick a spot and plug him in. He could play Right Tackle day one and fix their biggest problem. He could possibly play left, if they wanted to move Branden Albert.
6. SEAHAWKS
OT Bryan Bulaga
This is a need pick. The Seahawks have ignored the holes in their offensive line for waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay too long. Bulaga may be a reach at Left Tackle, but they need new players all over that line, and he can start day one at either guard and Right Tackle.
7. BROWNS
S Eric Berry
The Browns need stars. Berry is the best player on the board and would instantly make their defense better. Adding him and Sheldon Brown in the same season gives them some real potential for a geast passing defense.
8. RAIDERS
CB Joe Haden
This would make the Raiders defense in the running for best in the league. If he is half as good as he is expected to be, the other team will be throwing to the slot receiver an awful lot.
9. BILLS
OT Anthony Davis
An offense has 2 starting tackles. The Bills currently have 0. Davis has question marks, but none of them are talent.
10. JAGUARS
ILB Rolando McClain
The Jags need to restock at linebacker and McClain was the leader of the vaunted Bama D. He will start from day 1.
11. BRONCOS
WR Dez Bryant
They wanted Bryant before they traded Marshall. With him gone, WR has to be the pick and Bryant is the best of the bunch.
12. DOLPHINS
NT Dan Williams
The 3-4 requires a Nose Tackle and Williams is a very good one. He is big and active, exactly what Parcells wants for his Defense.
13. 49ERS
DE Carlos Dunlap
Dunlap is a premier talent and is big enough to play DE in the 3-4. Singletary is a defense guy and they have been patching together that line since he got there. It's time to stock the shelves.
14. SEAHAWKS
RB CJ Spiller
The Seahawks need explosive players. They have some nice receivers and a solid QB, but no home run threats. Spiller is the best game breaker this year. He can score so many ways. Add a tackle and the instant screen-game credibility that Spiller brings, and you will really slow down the opponents pass rush.
15. GIANTS
DE Derrick Morgan
Morgan is the top rated DE on most boards, but he will fall to second because he is a bit smaller than Dunlap. A good talent for the 4-3 defense, and the Giants need to restock, especially with the rumbles about potential moves regarding their existing pass rushers.
16. TITANS
NT Terrence Cody
They really missed Haynesworth last year. Cody is a monster talent, and if they can keep him in shape, he will make them forget all about fat Al.
17. 49ERS
S/CB Earl Thomas
The Niners need to upgrade their secondary. Thomas can play all 4 positions, and do it nearly as well as anybody in this draft. He is just a hair below Berry in my mind.
18. STEELERS
CB Kyle Wilson
The Steelers corners got torched last year. Wilson is a lock down talent with real speed. He is used to working on an island, and fits what the Steelers want to do on defense perfectly.
19. FALCONS
FS Taylor Mays
People have been looking for problems with Taylor Mays all year. Well folks, he is huge, fast, and played in a pro style scheme. There are some questions regarding his level of coverage, so he may be a SS rather than a FS. That is not a concern for the Falcons because they need both. Adding him and Dunta Robinson in the same offseason is bigtime.
20. TEXANS
RB Ryan Matthews
Surely the Texans are tired of looking for a starting running back. Ryan Matthews was a little below the radar last year, playing in a smaller conference. Here is a little info. As a junior in 2009, Mathews led college football in rushing with an average of 150.67 yards per game in 12 games. He totaled 1,808 yards on 276 carries and 19 touchdowns. 1800 yards is a good sign....I think?
21. BENGALS
G/C Maurkice Pouncey
Pouncey can play 4 positions and is the best in the draft at 3 of them. The Bengals made some nice moves the last few years and it came together for them last year. They can really go for talent this draft as they don't have glaring needs. Yes, yes, I know....I really just typed that about the Bungles.
22. PATRIOTS
OLB Sergio Kindle
Please lord, please do not let Kindle play for the Patriots
23. PACKERS
OT Charles Brown
The Packers were screwed when they lost Chad Clifton last year. They had no backup. Charles Brown is a big time Tackle talent, and the chance to coach him up for a year or two and plug him in is just too perfect.
24. EAGLES
DE Jason Paul-Pierre
The Eagles defense is predicated on pressure and man coverage. Paul-Pierre brings the heat like few others in recent years. He is too perfect for what the Eagles to do for them to let him go past this point.
25. RAVENS
CB Patrick Robinson
The Ravens needs cornerbacks, and due to injuries they are going to need one day one. Robinson is fast and is used to working in a defense predicated on blitzes and heavy pass rush. Look for the Ravens to continue their history of draft Noles and Canes.
26. CARDINALS
OLB Sean Weatherspoon
Sean Weatherspoon is a great Outside Linebacker. He has the head, the measureables, and the statistics. How in the hell he ended up at Missouri, I am not sure, but this guy can really play.
27. COWBOYS
S Chad Jones
The Boys need a safety, wait...no, they need 2. Well, Chad Jones can play both and he is a big time athlete. He is a huge hitter, and is only going to get better.
28. CHARGERS
RB Toby Gerhart
Darren Sproles is a scary little running back. He hides behind his linemen and then explodes into the stratosphere. The problem is, he is tiny, and there is no credible backup. Toby Gerhart is a big-back with all around talent. He is a great change of pace for Sproles.
29. JETS
ILB Brandon Spikes
The leader of the Gator defense got ripped a bit for...well...for not being Ray Lewis. He is a great football player, with a mean streak that Rex Ryan has to love.
30. VIKINGS
CB/KR Javier Arenas
The Vikings are getting old at corner in a hurry. Arenas was the lead corner in a Nick Saban defense and is an explosive kick returner. Here is a though, let's put Arenas and Harvin back on kick returns at the same time.
31. COLTS
G Mike Iupati
Losing Lilja hurts a bit. Iupati is a good enough guard that some teams are looking at him for tackle. He gets to the second level consistently and should upgrade the rushing attack of the Colts
32. SAINTS
DE/OLB Jerry Hughes
The Saints need speed on the edge. Hughes is a hybrid and with the Saints running a 4-3, they can choose between End and OLB for him. They will be happy with him at either.
