Team

Player

Position

College

1

Detroit

Matt Stafford

QB

Georgia

Note: With Kitna and Orlovsky both gone, this is a no-brainer

2

St. Louis

Eugene Monroe

OT

Virginia

Note: Someone needs to protect the QB and open holes for Jackson

3

Kansas City

Jason Smith

OT

Baylor

Note: With new QB in the fold, KC will help protect him by adding an o-lineman

4

Seattle

Michael Crabtree

WR

Texas Tech

Note: Even with help in free agency, the hawks and Hasselbeck could use this playmaker

5

Cleveland

Aaron Curry

LB

Wake Forest

Note: The Browns need to find a defense and Curry will help

6

Cincinnati

Brian Orapko

DE

Texas

Note: Another Ohio team that needs defensive help and will get it by drafting Orapko

7

Oakland

Rey Maualuga

LB

USC

Note: Raider Nation would love to see Rey in the Silver and Black on 09’

8

Jacksonville

Michael Johnson

DE

Georgia Tech

Note: Maclin is also a possibility here, but Johnson is too good of a deal to pass up here

9

Green Bay

Brian Cushing

LB

USC

Note: Transition to the 3-4 means adding athletic linebackers…Cushing goes at 9

10

San Francisco

BJ Raji

DT

Boston College

Note: The 9ers’ needs some help on the defensive line to free up the pass rushers

11

Buffalo

Andre Smith

OT

Alabama

Note: Smith would be a nice addition to a struggling offensive line

12

Denver

Malcolm Jenkins

CB

Ohio State

Note: Their corners aren’t getting any younger, and he would be too tough to pass here

13

Washington

Jeremy Maclin

WR

Missouri

Note: They need to continue to put talent around Campbell and company

14

New Orleans

Vontae Davis

CB

Illinois

Note: The saints are always in need of secondary help and Davis would be a step up

15

Houston

James Laurinaitis

LB

Ohio State

Note: The Texans would be wise to add more young talent to an emerging defense

16

San Diego

Knowshon Moreno

RB

Georgia

Note: With LT’s future in doubt, Moreno would solidify the Chargers backfield

17

NY Jets

Chris Wells

RB

Ohio State

Note: Thomas Jones isn’t getting any younger and Wells is the best prospect left at #17

18

Chicago

Mark Sanchez

QB

USC

Note: Will the Bears snatch up Sanchez after he falls to #18?

19

Tampa Bay

Michael Oher

OT

Mississippi

Note: After barely missing out on Sanchez, the Bucs will look to add depth to their o-line

20

Detroit

Aaron Maybin

DE

Penn State

Note: After picking Stafford #1, the Lions will look to add defensive help at #20

21

Clay Mathews

DE/LB

Note: With several defensive players leaving through free agency, look for them to reload

27

Indianapolis

Larry English

DE

Northern Illinois

Note: In order to make another Super Bowl run, Indy needs to generate a pass rush

28

Philadelphia

Darrius Hayward-Bey

WR

Maryland

Note: Philly needs to continue to add playmakers at the WR position to help McNabb

29

NY Giants

Donald Brown

RB

Connecticut

Note: If Ward leaves town, Brown would be a nice addition

30

Tennessee

Brandon Pettigrew

TE

Oklahoma State

Note: Crumpler is aging and Collins needs another viable option to throw to

31

Arizona

Everette Brown

DE

Florida State

Note: With a pass rush, the Cards could prove that their Super Bowl run wasn’t a fluke

32

Pittsburgh

Sean Smith

CB
