Pick | Team | Player | Position | College |
1 | Carolina Panthers | Nick
Fairley | DT | Auburn |
Note: The Panthers need a force on the
defensive line and Fairley is the top prospect in this year's draft. |
2 | Denver Broncos | DaQuan Bowers | DE | Clemson |
Note: Denver needs an impact player for the defense and Bowers fits the bill here. |
3 | Buffalo Bills | AJ Green | WR | Georgia |
Note: Not since Eric Moulds have the Bills had a real number one threat at WR. |
4 | Cincinnati Bengals | Von Miller | OLB | Texas
A&M |
Note: The Bengals need more of an impact on defense in order to contend
with rival Pittsburgh. |
5 | Arizona Cardinals | Blaine
Gabbert | QB | Missouri |
Note: Arizona desperately needs a quarterback
to throw to all-pro WR Larry Fitzgerald. |
6 | Cleveland Browns | Patrick Peterson | CB | LSU |
Note: The Browns need a lot of help and they will start with the best prospect left on the board in PP. |
7 | San Francisco 49ers | Cameron Jordan | DE | California |
Note: The 49ers could take Newton here, but Jordan is a safer bet and will make an immediate impact. |
8 | Tennessee Titans | Cam Newton | QB | Auburn |
Note: I wouldn't be shocked if Newton
falls past the Titans but for now I'll have him taken at #8. |
9 | Dallas Cowboys | Anthony Castonzo | OT | Boston College |
Note: Dallas desperately needs to protect Tony Romo and open holes in the run game. |
10 | Washington Redskins | Julio Jones | WR | Alabama |
Note: Jones would ignite a rather boring offense in our nations capital. |
11 | Houston Texans | Prince Amukamara | CB | Nebraska |
Note: The Texans will be looking for the best prospect on the board and Amukamara is a playmaker. |
12 | Minnesota Vikings | Marcell Dareus | DT | Alabama |
Note: With the Williams brothers future in doubt, Dareus would be a good pick here. |
13 | Detroit Lions | Tyrone Smith | OT | USC |
Note: Stafford and his shoulder need protection...Smith makes the most sense at #13. |
14 | St. Louis Rams | Robert Quinn | DE | North
Carolina |
Note: The Rams have a few pieces of the puzzle on offense but their
defense needs a major overhaul. |
15 | Miami Dolphins | Ryan
Kerrigan | DE | Purdue |
Note: Kerrigan may not fall this far but
if he does, don't expect The Tuna to let him slip any futher. |
16 | Jacksonville Jaguars | Brandon Harris | CB | Miami |
Note: The Jaguars are in need of help in the secondary and Harris is a top notch prospect. |
17 | New England (from Oakland) | Aldon Smith | DE | Missouri |
Note: The Patriots need to put more pressure on the quarterback and Smith can do the job. |
18 | San Diego Chargers | Akeem Ayers | OLB | UCLA |
Note: The Chargers need more help at the linebacker position and Ayers is a good fit for the bolts. |
19 | New York Giants | Derek Sherrod | OT | Mississippi
State |
Note: Eli is only effective when he feels comfortable in the pocket
so expect an upgrade at tackle. |
20 | Tampa Bay
Buccaneers | Mark Ingram | RB | Alabama |
Note:
If Ingram falls this far expect the Buccaneers to snatch him up here. |
21 | Kansas
City Chiefs | JJ Watt | DE | Wisconsin |
Note:
Watt has a motor that doesn't stop and should be a great fit for the Chiefs defense. |
22 | Indianapolis Colts | Adrian Clayborn | DE | Iowa |
Note: The Colts offensive weapons should heal but there are glaring weaknesses on defense. |
23 | Philadelphia Eagles | Cameron Heyward | DE | Ohio
State |
Note: The Eagles need more depth at the defensive end position and Heyward
is a top prospect. |
24 | New Orleans Saints | Kyle
Rudolph | TE | Notre Dame |
Note: With Shockey leaving town, this is
a no-brainer. |
25 | Seattle Seahawks | Jake
Locker | QB | Washington |
Note: The Seahawks will keep Locker in
state and make him their franchise QB. |
26 | Baltimore
Ravens | Aaron Williams | CB | Texas |
Note:
The Ravens could a top corner to bolster their secondary. |
27 | Atlanta
Falcons | Gabe Carimi | OT | Wisconsin |
Note:
Some think Carimi is the best tackle in the draft and the Falcons would love to take him here. |
28 | New England Patriots | Nate Solder | OT | Colorado |
Note: The Patriots address the offensive side of the ball with the top tackle left on the board. |
29 | Chicago
Bears | Jon Baldwin | WR | Pittsburgh |
Note: The Bears
and Jay Cutler are in desperate need of a top talent at WR . |
30 | New York Jets | Ben Ijalana | OT | Villanova |
Note: Young QB Sanchez can make plays but only when he's upright in the pocket. |
31 | Pittsburgh
Steelers | Mike Pouncey | OG | Florida |
Note: If Pouncey
is still left the Steelers will pick him up and put him on the line with his brother. |
32 | Green Bay Packers | Marcus Cannon | OG | TCU |
Note: The Packers would love Carimi, Poucney or Ijalana and could trade down if they're off the board. |
