PickTeamPlayerGrade/Comments
1St. Louis RamsSam BradfordA+ The Rams get the quarterback they need. You cannot argue this pick. There is some hope in Ram country! JD
2Detroit LionsNd. SuhA+ The Lions seem to be on the right track and may have one of the more dangerous defensive lines in the NFL. JD
3Tampa Bay BucsGerald McCoyA+ McCoy is a dynamic defensive tackle that fits the Bucs scheme. McCoy will make his living in the offensive backfield.
4Washington RedskinsTrent WilliamsC+ I am not a big Trent Williams fan, a few months ago he was projected in the late teens but now #4. Williams is more of a right tackle and will need time to be solid at left tackle.
5Kansas City ChiefsEric BerryA+ Great pick! Berry will be a playmaker for the Chiefs for years to come! Great Pick
6Seattle SeahawksR. OkungA+ Getting the Best OT at #6 is great. Its even better b/c its a position of need. Smart move.
7Cleveland BrownsJoe HadenC+ The Browns could have traded down and still got Haden. Haden is the best corner but questions about his speed dropped his stock. Could have got better value.
8Oakland RaidersRolando McClainC+ Good player but not best value. Could have moved down a few spots. They had a bigger need at OT and QB.
9Buffalo BillsCJ SpillerD+ Good player wrong team.. This might be a trade but they def need an offensive lineman, who is Spiller running behind?
10Jacksonville JaguarsTyson AluanuF Terrible value! Speechless
1149ersAnthony DavisB Not sure why they had to jump the Dolphins to get Davis. There are questions about Davis but he fills a need.
12ChargersRyan MatthewsD Again a confusing trade. Why move up this far to get Matthews? They do fill a need but #12 is high for chargers.
13EaglesBrandon GrahamB Earl Thomas would have fit better but Graham will wreak havoc on opposing offenses.
14Seattle SeahawksEarl ThomasB They missed out on Eric Berry but got the next best safety in this draft.
15New York GiantsJason Pierre-PaulC Athletic freak with character concerns. He has bust potential but is a raw character.
16Tennessee TitansDerrick MorganA+ Top ten talent and best DE in the draft. Tennessee benefited from the Jaguars idiocy.
17San Francisco 49ersMike IupatiB- I question the move the move to pass up on a corner like Kyle Wilson, but consider Frank Gore happy. 49ers have established their identity.
18Pittsburg SteelersMaurkice PounceyB Versatile interior lineman who will help protect Big Ben.
19Atlanta FalconsSean WeatherspoonB- They could have traded down and still got Weatherspoon. Solid linebacker who is strong and well-rounded.
20Houston TexansKareem JacksonD He was a second round prospect. Should have selected Kyle Wilson if they were looking at a corner.
21Cincinnati BengalsJermaine GreshamB Carson Palmer has needed a stud tight end for quite some time. Gresham is that guy. He could have been a top ten pick last year.
22BroncosDemaryius ThomasC+ Thomas hasnt run a lot of pro routes and it will take time for him to adjust.
23Green Bay PackersBryan BulagaA+ Biggest need and the best available….. Bulaga could have went in the top ten
24CowboysDez BryantA+ Bryant might be risky but in Dallas he has people to take the pressure off of him.  good pick
25BroncosTim TebowD Where does Tim Tebow fit? As Jerry Jones says, how do I get him on the field?
26Arizona CardinalsDan WilliamsA+ Williams falls a little but fills a big need here for the Cardinals.  Best nose tackle in the draft.
27New EnglandDevin McCourtyA+ Best corner in the draft goes at 27. McCourty is very under rated.
28DolphinsJared OdrickB+ Will be a great DE in the 3-4 defense.  He will be able to defend the run and rush the passer.
29New York JetsKyle WilsonB+ The Jets put their corners on an island and Wilson can handle players 1 on 1. Good Pick
30Lions Jahvid Best B This pick fills a need, but is it worth moving into the 1st round to fill?  The Lions could have waited to the 3-4th round to fill the RB need
31Indianapolis Colts Jerry Hughes A Hughes is the pass rusher that will add depth to the Colts defense.
32New Orleans Saints Patrick Robinson B Robinson is a good defensive back and gives more depth to a unit that could use it.
