| Team | 1st Round |
| 1. Miami Dolphins – DT Glenn Dorsey, LSU- The Dolphins need more than just a DT, but they can only pick one player here. Dorsey is their man. He could fill a void at DT for the next 8-10 years. This would be the choice for the Dolphins unless they decide to move back and acquire more picks, something that might not be such a bad idea.
|
| 2. New England Patriots (From 49ers) – RB Darren McFadden, Arkansas- This really seems unfair. Do they really need him? Can you imagine what Belicheat would be doing on goalline situations with him. Think Houston Nutt got creative, then just wait until you see this.
|
| 3. Atlanta Falcons – QB Brian Brohm, Louisville- The Falcons need a quarterback and Brohm has the best probability of becoming an elite NFL QB. Even though Petrino is gone, the Falcons won’t get burned by this Cardinal.
|
| 4. St. Louis Rams – OT Jake Long, Michigan- The Rams offensive line was so bad this year it cost them several key injuries to their star players. Orlando Pace has shown signs of age, and this is a position that can make or break a team.
|
| 5. New York Jets – DE Chris Long, Virgina- Long just had a monster year at UVA and the Jets need a monster on defense. They missed out on McFadden and Brohm, but will not miss out on this stud.
|
| 6. Baltimore Ravens – QB Andre’ Woodson, Kentucky- I had Willis McGahee on my fantasy team this season and let me tell you it was painful watching them offensively at times. The Ravens have to get some fresh blood at QB and Troy Smith isn’t that answer.
|
| 7. Kansas City Chiefs – DT Sedrick Ellis , USC- The Chiefs better hope they can lose a few more and get a higher pick so they can snag Long. At the 7 spot they will most likely take the best CB, OL, or DT available. The defense was exposed in the middle-to-late portion of the season. Ellis will help solidify an already emerging DL.
|
| 8. Oakland Raiders – RB Jonathan Stewart , Oregon- The Raiders got their QB last year and think they might have something with Justin Fargas. That won’t scare Al Davis from taking another RB in this draft. Fargas and Stewart would give the Raiders an exciting backfield.
|
| 9. Chicago Bears – QB Matt Ryan, Boston College- The Bears might decide to resign Rex Grossman, but that doesn’t mean they won’t draft a QB. The Bears were plagued by injures this season and believe that if they have the right signal caller they can make it back to the Big Show.
|
| 10. Philadelphia Eagles – OT Sam Baker, USC- The Eagles O-line this season has been one of the worst they have ever had. This is one of the main reasons they are going to miss the playoffs and head coach Andy Reid might get fired. Andy or not, they will need to protect their QB. Baker is a good choice here.
|
| 11. Cincinnati Bengals – ILB James Laurinaitis, Ohio State- A team with probably the worst linebacking core in the league needs to add a difference maker. Laurinaitis is the premier middle linebacker in this draft. He will help sure up the middle of the defense.
|
| 12. Carolina Panthers – S Kenny Phillips, Miami- The Panthers just missed out on their guy Laurinaitis. Phillips is going to make a ton of plays for whoever he plays for, especially the Panthers. They are already 12th in the league at pass defense, but adding Phillips might bring back the Defense they used to have.
|
| 13. Houston Texans – CB Malcom Jenkins, Ohio State- Jenkins will give them a shut-down corner they have never had. Surprisingly, he has dropped this far and I am not sure he will be here at this point once we get closer to the actual draft.
|
| 14. Arizona Cardinals – DE Vernon Gholston, Ohio State- The Cardinals could always use help on defense and Gholston will give them a solid DE. He could even move up to a top 10 pick determining on how his workouts go.
|
| 15. Detroit Lions – OT Ryan Clady, Boise State- The Lions have already given up 52 sacks this season, most in the NFL. The Lions will most likely miss the playoffs and lots of that is because of their pass protection.
|
| 16. Washington Redskins – WR DeSean Jackson, Cal- It seems like the Redskins add a WR ever year by free agency or trade. Moss is getting older, Randle El hasn’t lived up to the hype, and their still playing guys like Thrash and McCardell.
|
| 17. New Orleans Saints – DB Reggie Smith, Oklahoma- Being ranked 29th in pass defense will force the Saints to do something about that weakness. I have Smith here over Talib because Smith could play both safety and corner.
|
| 18. Denver Broncos – OLB/MLB Dan Conner, Penn State- Al Wilson has been a huge loss for the Broncos. They will look to Conner to bring back the Super Bowl-caliber defense they used to have.
|
| 19. Tennessee Titans – WR Malcom Kelly, Oklahoma- Vince Young needs a WR and needs one BAD! Malcom Kelly is 6-foot-4 and 217 pounds, which gives VY a big target that can catch unlike some other Titan WRs.
|
| 20. Minnesota Vikings – DE Derrick Harvey, Florida- Williams and Williams already have the middle of the line taken care of (#1 rush defense in the NFL). All they need to do better is rush the passer. Harvey will add to an already dominating defensive line.
|
| 21. Buffalo Bills – WR Limus Sweed, Texas- Sweed gives the Bills the big target they will need for Edwards and to help open up Lee Evans. Adding Sweed could be a big thing for this offense and they might explode like the Browns did this season.
|
| 22. Dallas Cowboys (From Browns) – CB Aqib Talib, Kansas- Dallas made a great trade last year and it should pay off for them this season. They need a corner that can play the other side to T-New. Newman is from Kansas State and Talib from Kansas, making it a divided house.
|
| 23. San Diego Chargers – OLB Keith Rivers, USC
- Rey Maualuga would have been a great pick for the Chargers, but he has decided to go back to USC for another year. I think the Chargers missed Donnie Edwards and need to add to the linebacking core.
|
| 24. Tampa Bay Bucanneers – WR James Hardy, Indiana
- Gruden loves big WR that can make plays. Uh, and if you dont think he is big, check 6-foot-7 220 pounds (Phil the Show Killer rings bell). Galloway is getting older (still amazing me with his play), Clayton hasn’t panned out, and this could be a great addition to an emerging offense.
|
| 25. New York Giants – OT Jeffery Otah, Pittsburgh
- The Giants still have faith in Eli, which I think they should. They will want to continue to beef up his protection by adding Otah. (Hey, once Peyton stopped getting hit he became an elite QB, it could happen)
|
| 26. Jacksonville Jaguars – WR Adarius Bowman, Oklahoma State
- None of the other three WRs they have drafted have panned out. Their running game is one of the best in the leagues, and Garrad is playing mistake-free football. If he just had a little more talent at WR this offense would be scary.
|
| 27. Pittsburgh Steelers – CB Mike Jenkins, South Florida - Pittsburgh could go WR here, but I think Tomlin would like to add to his defense to keep them as one of the best in the “L”.
|
| 28. Seattle Seahawks – RB Felix Jones, Arkansas - Shhhhh… The Seahawks don’t want this to get out. Morris and Alexander are not cutting it, and Felix Jones posses 4.3 speed as a RB. Jones could actually help Alexander resurrect his career and get the Seahawks back to the Super Bowl.
|
| 29. San Francisco 49ers (From Colts) – QB Colt Brennan, Hawaii
- This might be a bit early for Brennan (depending whom you ask), but the 49ers have had it with Alex Smith. Now let’s just see if they can get him some WRs to throw to.
|
| 29. Green Bay Packers – DT Pat Sims, Auburn - The Packers really have plenty of options here. They could go with about any position other than WR or QB. I think they will want to add to the middle of their defense, and Pat Sims will be a big problem for offensive lines.
|
| 30. Dallas Cowboys – WR Early Doucet, LSU
- The Cowboys waited on a WR and it paid off. I really think they can’t lose here by picking CB/WR or WR/CB. It will all depend on who is there at the spots they draft.
