Hi Everyone,
I put a lot of thought into these picks, please tell me where you agree or disagree......
Miami Dolphins Jake Long, OT
**They cannot pass up the opportunity to put a premier bookend on the line. Very athletic and moves very well for such a big specimen. Compares favorably to Joe Thomas
St. Louis Rams Chris Long, DT
**Opportunity to shore up the defensive line and make a solid duo with Carriker
Atlanta Falcons Matt Ryan
**Trying to rebuild a franchise, how can they pass on the only franchise QB? Don't see much hope in their current QB's
Oakland Raiders Darren McFadden, RB
**Al Davis will forget who Justin Fargas is when he sees McFadden is available
Kansas City Chiefs Glenn Dorsey, DT
**Jon Allen is most likely going to leave next year for a big pay day in free agency, Dorsey is a stud they can put in too anchor that line
New York Jets Vernon Gholston, DE
**Up and coming team that can plug in the drafts best pure pass rusher
New England Patriots D. Rodgers-Cromartie, CB
**Might go Leodis here, but I put Cromartie because of the all the momentum and ball skills. Natural athletic ability is amazing too
Baltimore Ravens Keith Rivers, LB
**Ray Lewis is not getting any younger, they pick this athletic LB to go along with their very athletic defense
Cincinnati Bengals Sedrick Ellis, DE
**Lost Justin Smith and have a very weak line.
New Orleans Saints Brandon Albert, G
**Albert has freakish strength and can also play tackle
Buffalo Bills Devin Thomas, WR
**Had only one solid season, but has the height (6'2) and speed (4.40) that Buffalo is looking for to help T.Edwards
Denver Broncos Jeff Otah, OT
**Powerful run blocker who can compete right away
Carolina Panthers Ryan Clady,
**Had some problems with protection last year and need help on the line
Chicago Bears Rashard Mendenhall,
**Sorry Benson, but its time. Make way for Mendenhall's huge arms
Detroit Lions Kentwan Balmer, DT
**Slightly underrated prospect who can bring size to this dline
Arizona Cardinals Jonathan Stewart, RB
**James is getting older and arrington is nothing to write home about. Future franchise back
Minnesota Vikings Brandon Flowers, CB
**Hard hitting corner brings aggressiveness to the D
Houston Texans Chris Williams, OT
**Two years in a row spending 1st round picks on DLine, now they flip it to oline and get a solid tackle prospect
Philadelphia Eagles Limas Sweed, WR
**Not much size with current WR's. Sweed brings his 6'4 stature and 4.5 speed to finally give McNabb another playmaker
Tampa Bay Buccaneers DeSean Jackson, WR
**Not quite Hester with return ability but can deliver an electric punch. Also more polished then Ginn as a wide receiver and can help give another option then Galloway is nearing the end of his career
Washington Redskins Derick Harvey, DE
**Finally a solid DE to put opposite Andre Carter. Has high sack potential
Dallas Cowboys James Hardy, WR
**Too many questions with Terry Glen's injury problems. Perfect red zone target opposite Terrel Owens
Pittsburgh Steelers Gosder Cherilus, OT
**A little bit of a raw prospect but high upside
Tennessee Titans Malcolm Kelly, WR
**Weak WR core in Tennessee. With Vince Young's erratic passes this is the perfect big target that can snag throws that are not perfectly thrown
Seattle Seahawks Fred Davis, TE
**Need a TE with big play ability. Some may say Keller, but I think Davis' catching abilities are way better. Blocking needs work
Jacksonville Jaguars Aqib Talib, CB
**Underrated corner that can be a nickleback for the first year
San Diego Chargers Dan Connor, LB
**Derek Smith, as we know, was not their answer when they picked him up. They get a younger, and way better, version with Connor.
Dallas Cowboys Felix Jones, RB
**Can be Barber's back up now that Jones is gone. Great speed and needs this type of role as it is uncertain whether he can handle 25-30 carries a game. He had McFadden in college, he probably is gonna be better in the pros with a two back rotation as well
San Francisco 49ers Quentin Groves, LB
**I did not want to go with this pick, but I had to. Has potential to get it done. As much as I hate the word potential, after watching the lack of pass rush from Tully Banta Cain, I will take potential over Cain's lack of skill any day
Green Bay Packers Antoine Cason, CB
**Corners are aging and can come in year 1 and be solid nickleback
New York Giants Jerod Mayo, LB
**High motor LB who can replace the loss of Mitchell. Great pursuit and a big hitter
