1 Miami Dolphins Jake Long, OT, Michigan
Doesnt matter who the QB, their offensive line problems have been consisttent for years now. New HC Tony Sparano is a former offensive line coach in Dallas.
2 St. Louis Rams Chris Long, DE, Virginia
The safest pick in the draft. A big body guy who can play DE or OLB in either the 43 or 34 defense. With him and Adam Carriker they've got a good set of 34 DE's who can also play in the 43.
3 Atlanta Falcons Glenn Dorsey, DT, LSU
With the loss of Rod Coleman they may very well be looking at another interior defensive linemen. Mike Smith has a defensive background and i truely believe Aruthr Blank is to have lost affection for Mike Vick.
4 Oakland Raiders Sedrick Ellis, DT, USC
With Warren Sapp's retirement they're going to need somebody who can play inside since they are planning to move Kelly to DT. Ellis is a USC guy like coach Lane Kiffin. A lot of people would make a case for McFadden but really how good could those shut down corners be without a front 7 that can put pressure on the QB (see Denver Broncos).
5 Kansas City Chiefs Branden Albert, OT/OG, Virginia
A guy who will follow in the footsteps of D'Brickashaw Ferguson. that KC O-line has been great for years and all of a sudden became real crappy. They may throw a curve ball at us here tho and go with Matt Ryan.
6 New York Jets Darren McFadden, RB, Arkansas
Thomas Jones was a major bust for the Jets last season. Leon Washington is a great change of pace back but Darren McFadden will give them that big play capability to take pressure off the QB they've been lacking since Curtis Martin.
7 New England Patriots Vernon Gholston, DE/OLB, Ohio State
A lot of people can see New England looking to replace Asante at this spot. However if Gholston is sitting there he could be of much help. Rosey Colvin was given his walking papers and those linebackers are aging. Give New England another great pass rushing threat to go along with Adelius Thomas on the other side.
8 Baltimore Ravens Matt Ryan, QB, Boston College
The best QB in the draft, not an Elite QB however. Will have time to develop and at the same time compete for playing time with Kyle Boller.
9 Cincinnati Bengals Malcolm Kelly, WR, Oklahoma
They're run defense sucked last year ad Rudi Johnson's productivity is starting to decline. With the cutting of Chris Henry this move will be made both in the intrest of replacing Henry and making Chad Johnson happy.
10 New Orleans Saints Leodis McKelvin, CB, Troy
They've spent a lot of money this offseason bringing in some key guys on defense. Leodis McKelvin is very similar to Asante Samuel with his athletcism. Should immidiately compete for a starting job and will step in and return kicks.
11 Buffalo Bills Dominique Rodgers-Cromartie, CB, Tennessee State
They lost Nate Clements last year and Terrence McGee is good but cant do it all by himself. If Malcolm Kelly is there they will be salivating over him but if he is indeed gone Cromartie is a CB who can help out that defense immidiately.
12 Denver Broncos Keith Rivers, LB, USC
In releasing Al Wilson and moving DJ Williams inside they really softened up that run defense. Keith Rivers will step in where DJ Williams stepped out along with Ian Gold. I wouldnt be surprise if we see them reach for a Defensive linemen here like Derrick Harvey or Kentwan Balmer if not a reciever not that Javon Walker is gone.
13 Carolina Panthers Ryan Clady, OT, Boise State
With the departure of RB DeShaun Foster you could make a case they may eyeball Rashard Mendenhall here but it is possible that they think this is DeAngelo Williams' break out year. Jeff Otah's stock is probably higher right now but it is said Carolina is flirting with the idea of Ryan Clady.
14 Chicago Bears Jeff Otah, OT, Pittsburgh
Again, they will look at Mendenhall but with so much invested in their #1 like Carolina they may look to address maybe a change of pace back to go along with Cedric Benson in the mold of Thomas Jones in the second round. I would expect them to look for a QB within the first two rounds, there is really no QB of value at #14 so i think they'll go with a little trench work.
15 Detroit Lions Rahard Mendenhall, RB, Illinois
Tatum Bell proved to be another system back like Mike Anderson and Olandis Gary. Kevin Jones suckes just as bad as i said he would since he was at Virginia Tech. Mendenhall will give them that hard runner they lacked in last year's post season push.
16 Arizona Cardinals Mike Jenkins, CB, South Florida
Physical corner, very simliar to Nate Clements who will fill in for Antrel Rolle who is moving for CB to Safety.
17 Minnesota Vikings Derrick Harvey, DE, Florida
Kenechi Udeze is unfortunately battling Leukimia and they seemed to be flirting with Justin Smith and Antwan Odom. The Loss of Corey Williams will not make it any easier on the defensive line. Derrick Harvey is a guy who lives in the backfield and will turn into an absolute monster for himself.
18 Houston Texans Chris Williams, OT, Vanderbilt
If he falls this far he will be a no brainer. Will continue to help that O-Line who is slowly being worked on by Gary Kubiak. They definately will look at a RB but with the injury to Johnathan Stewart and Felix Jones now being projected in some mock drafts as a second rounder they may wait around for the later rounds to snag a back like Stewart, Jones or Chris Johnson if not trade back into the first round.
19 Philadelphia Eagles DeSean Jackson, WR, California
A WR they've been lacking since the departure of T.O. DeSean Jackson will immidiately step in and provide a much needed explosive reciever the Eagles need. A perfect fit seeing how he can turn short plays into touchdowns.
20 Tampa Bay Buccaneers Philip Merling, DE, Clemson
We all knew the hype surrounding them and Calvin Johnson last season. I can see them targeting DeSean Jackson and Malcolm Kelly.Limas Sweed is coming off of injury while Manningham, Thomas and Hardy are reaches with value available in the second round. Merling will step in on the other side of former Clemson teammate Gaines Adams.
21 Washington Redskins Devin Thomas, WR, Michigan State
They are looking for a DE but at this point they're options there are very limited. Quentin Groves is a possibility but he's projected more OLB in a 34. Devin Thomas may attempt to be that #2 guy to take some of the pressure of Santana Moss.
22 Dallas Cowboys Aqib Talib, CB, Kansas
They're not going to pay Tennessee's asking price for Pac Man Jones. After losing Jacque Reeves and it is speculated that Anthony Henry will be moved to safety the Cowboys will need someone to add depth and compete for the spot opposite of Terrance Newman. Talib is a playmaker with top 15 talent who is being held down by his timed speed.
23 Pittsburgh Steelers Gosder Cherilus, OT, Boston College
Marvel Smith has been hurt and Alan Faneca is gone now. They'll most likely be out for the best offensive linemen available and that would be Cherilus. (supposedly).
24 Tennessee Titans Kentwan Balmer, DT, North Carolina
Though they did just add Jevon Kearse, they did lose Antwan Odom, Travis LaBoy and Randy Starks. Balmer should not only step in aside at DT immidiately but has DE possibilities in the 34 incase they choose to move Albert Haynesworth inside and go that route. Their reciever are bad but right now not as bad as their offensive line.
25 Seattle Seahawks Dustin Keller, TE, Purdue
Athletic TE which will force defenses to spread out against them. They may look at Johnathan Stewart but i seriouslly doubt it with Maurice Morris, Julius Jones and T.J. Duckett not to mention Shaun Alexander has not yet been cut.
26 Jacksonville Jaguars Quentin Groves, DE/OLB, Auburn
Marcus Stroud's fat as is gone. So is Bobby McCray and Reggie Hayward cant seem to stay on the field. Groves at this point i the best pass rusher available. A fast and physical guy who will fit in nicely with the Jags. They may also look at WR's James Hardy and Limas Sweed here.
27 San Diego Chargers Kenny Phillips, S, Miami (FL)
Marlon McCree is gone i believe and they will need someone to come in and play next to Eric Weddle. Though Reggie Smith is a strong possibility, Kenny Phillips has better ball skills for that Ball hawking defense. A steal at this point who will fall a little due to his timed speed in the 40.
28 Dallas Cowboys Chris Johnson, RB, East Carolina
Every draft has a few reaches, falls and surprises. Here's mines. People may ask why not go with Johnathan Stewart here who is the best back available at this point. He, like Marion Barber is a powerback with no second gear and while Felix Jones is a faster back rather then a power back, Jerry Jones is obsessed with explosive players like Chris Johnson. A guy who will be fit into Dallas' offense very similarly to how Reggie Bush was used with Deuce McAlister the year before last and should contribue in the return game immidiately.
29 San Francisco 49ers Limas Sweed, WR, Texas
A guy who may take a bit of a nose dive due to his repeat wrist injuries. At this point would be the best player available to fit the Niners needs and Sweed is a steal. a big reciever with capabilities to turn into a #1. Very similar in style to Roy Williams who played under OC Mike Martz in Detroit. Will compete for his spot in the line up with Issac Bruce and will allow San Francisco to move Bryant Johnson to the slot.
30 Green Bay Packers Reggie Smith, S, Oklahoma
Athletic Safety who will be able to come in and play either Safety or a little nickel back along side one of the best corner tandems in the league. They may also look for at OT here though at this point it'd be a bit of a reach.
31 New York Giants Jerod Mayo, LB, Tennessee
Fast and physical linebacker which will be brought in to fill the void made by the departure of ILB Kawika Mitchell.
Doesnt matter who the QB, their offensive line problems have been consisttent for years now. New HC Tony Sparano is a former offensive line coach in Dallas.
2 St. Louis Rams Chris Long, DE, Virginia
