| # | Team | Pick | Thoughts |
| 1 | | Detroit Lions
(0-9) | OT Andre Smith
Alabama(+1 Spot, LR: 2) | Yes we have a change at #1 overall. The Lions would want to take the best player in the draft…and in my belief that is Andre Smith. |
| 2 | | Cincinnati Bengals
(1-8) | OT Michael Oher
Ole Miss(-1 Spot, LR: 1) | The Bengals wouldn’t be disappointed to get Oher #2 overall, something that didn’t seem possible a few weeks ago. |
| 3 | | Kansas City Chiefs
(1-8) | QB Matthew Stafford*
Georgia(+3 Spots, LR: 6) | I am starting to come around on Tyler Thigpen but for now I have to stick with the Chiefs going QB here, especially with Oher and Smith gone. |
| 4 | | San Francisco 49ers
(2-7) | DT Terrence Cody
Alabama(+16 Spots, LR: 20) | The more and more I think about the more I realize that every NFL team wants Cody. He would fill up two gaps on the D-line and shut down the run. |
| 5 | | Seattle Seahawks
(2-7) | CB Vontae Davis*
Illinois(+8 Spots, LR: 13) | The Seahawks need help everywhere and at #5 overall it is arguably too early to take a CB. Do they really care if its too early? Take the right guy. |
| 6 | | St. Louis Rams
(2-7) | OT Eugene Monroe
Virginia(+4 Spots, LR: 10) | The Rams still need help on the offensive line, especially after not getting Jake Long last year. Monroe would be a great pickup. |
| 7 | | Oakland Raiders
(2-7) | WR Michael Crabtree*
Texas Tech(+7 Spots, LR: 14) | Alright Al Davis youv’e got JaMarcus Russell & Darren McFadden. If you drafted Crabtree you’d have quite a trio. |
| 8 | | Houston Texans
(3-6) | DE Tyson Jackson
LSU(+1 Spot, LR: 9) | What? Why take Jackson? They already have Mario Williams. Well think about having two great pass rushing defensive ends? Wow. |
| 9 | | Cleveland Browns
(3-6) | Knowshon Moreno
Georgia(+NR, LR: NR) | The Browns already have a big bruising running back in Jamal Lewis. By adding Moreno they’d have a great change of pace back. |
| 10 | | New Orleans Saints
(4-5) | DE Brian Orakpo
Texas(+1 Spot, LR: 11) | Orakpo would finally give the Saints somebody on defense that could get to the opposing QB, which is a big need in New Orleans. |
| 11 | | Jacksonville Jaguars
(4-5) | DT Terrence Taylor
Michigan(+12 Spots, LR: 23) | I spoke to our Jaguars blogger and she thinks the Jags need a D-lineman. I can’t argue with our experts and Taylor is the best available. |
| 12 | | Green Bay Packers
(4-5) | OT Ciron Black*
LSU(+16 Spots, LR: 28) | The running lanes for Ryan Grant aren’t as big this year and it’s forcing the Packers to rely on Aaron Rodgers to try to win games. Bring in Black. |
| 13 | | San Diego Chargers
(4-5) | Ray Mauluaga
USC(-11 Spots, LR: 2) | The Chargers have been a big disappointment this year and never thought they’d be drafting here. Why not take one of the best LBs? |
| 14 | | Dallas Cowboys
(5-4) | CB Malcolm Jenkins
Ohio State(+4 Spots, LR: 18) | The Cowboys need help in the secondary very badly. Jenkins would help their only blaring need defensively. |
| 15 | | Denver Broncos
(5-4) | S William Moore
Missouri(+0 Spots, LR: 15) | Another team that needs big time help in the secondary. The Broncos can’t stop anyone defensively right now. |
| 16 | | Philadelphia Eagles
(5-4) | DE Michael Johnson
Georgia Tech(-9 Spots, LR: 7) | The Eagles love lineman in the first round of the NFL Draft and Johnson would be a “best available” pick under this scenario. |
| 17 | | Buffalo Bills
(5-4) | CB Alphonso Smith
Wake Forest(+2 Spots, LR: 19) | The Bills still need some help in the secondary (who doesn’t?) and would love to take Smith here midway thru Rd 1. |
| 18 | | Miami Dolphins
(5-4) | DE George Selvie
South Florida(-1 Spot, LR: 19) | The Dolphins still need a big pass rusher to get to the QB. Why leave the state of Florida looking for one? Selvie is a beast. |
| 19 | | Chicago Bears
(5-4) | S Taylor Mays*
USC(+5 Spots, LR: 24) | Mays is as big as a linebacker and with some insight from our Bears blogger I know that the Bears need a safety. |
| 20 | | Indianapolis Colts
(5-4) | James Laurinaitis
Ohio State(-15 Spots, LR: 5) | The Colts would run up to the commissioner before a second even ran off the clock. This is a perfect fit and HUGE steal. |
| 21 | | Minnesota Vikings
(5-4) | QB Mark Sanchez
USC(+9 Spots, LR: 12) | Like I said in my last mock draft, just call this a hunch. Sanchez would bring a strong arm to a struggling Minnesota passing game. |
| 22 | | Atlanta Falcons
(6-3) | LB Aaron Curry
Wake Forest(+0 Spots, LR: 22) | Curry would stop the run for the Falcons and their defense to win games instead of relying on Matt Ryan to do so. |
| 23 | | New England Patriots (6-3) | CB Darius Butler
Connecticut(-5 Spots, LR: 18) | The Patriots could use a cornerback and Butler would be a nice selection towards the end of round one. |
| 24 | | New York Jets
(6-3) | DE Greg Hardy
Ole Miss(+5 Spots, LR: 29) | If he ever gets healthy Hardy is almost a sure first round pick. He can rush the passer as well as any DE in college right now. |
| 25 | | Baltimore Ravens
(6-3) | RB Chris Wells
Ohio State(+NR, LR: NR) | McGahee…Rice…McClain. This pick probably makes no sense to a lot of you guys. McGahee has disappointed some, and Rice is not an every down back. |
| 26 | | Arizona Cardinals
(6-3) | Brandon Spikes*
Florida(+NR, LR: NR) | The Cardinals need a middle linebacker, considering Gerald Hayes isn’t exactly a superstar. Spikes would a decent pickup late in round one. |
| 27 | | Washington Redskins (6-3) | CB Victor Harris
Virginia Tech(+3 Spots, LR: 30) | Harris would help a secondary that has to deal with Eli Manning, Donovan McNabb, and Tony Romo a total of six times a year. |
| 28 | | Tampa Bay Bucs
(6-3) | WR Jeremy Maclin*
Missouri(+1 Spot, LR: 26) | After talking to our Bucs blogger here at Fansided I agree that the Bucs need a WR. Maclin can really change the game in so many ways, it’s amazing. |
| 29 | | Pittsburgh Steelers
(6-3) | CB Mike Mickens
Cincinnati(-2 Spots, LR: 27) | The one thing we know about the rough/tough defenses of the AFC is that you can never have enough defensive backs. |
| 30 | | Philadelphia Eagles
(6-3; Pick via Car) | OT Phil Loadholt
Oklahoma(+NR, LR: NR) | An offensive lineman makes sense here for the Eagles, especially after going D-line with their first pick. At least Carolina isn’t giving up a high pick here. |
| 31 | | New York Giants | LB Darry Beckwith
LSU(+0 Spots, LR: 31) | The Giants grab a linebacker to make their defense even better late in round one. Beckwith acts like the kind of play Tom Coughlin wants on his team. |
| 32 | | Tennessee Titans | WR Percy Harvin
Florida(+NR, LR: NR) | Harvin is too great of a playmarker to pass up for the Titans. He would be a deep threat that could also run the reverse and open up their offense. |
