Round 1:
(1) Chiefs Select: Luke Joeckel, OT, Texas A&M
The Chiefs will hold the 1st overall pick for the first time in franchise history. They will want to go elsewhere at #1 than QB hence giving up two 2nd rounders in exchange for that scrub Alex Smith and who better than Luke Joeckel?
Who do you think the Chiefs should take #1?
(2) Jaguars Select: Eric Fisher, OT, Central MichiganPerhaps the best tackle in the draft, Fisher will stabilize this position for the Jags. The Jags need to rebuild this thing from the trenches out.
(3)Raiders Select: Geno Smith, QB, West Virginia
The Raiders have plenty of black holes in their team and really could go DE, DT, QB, OT or really just about any position. However they do the only sensible thing here with the best QB still on the board. Lets just hope Geno doesn't Jamarcus Russell it.
(4)Eagles Select: Sharrif Floyd, DT, Florida
Eagles fans will undoubtedly want to reach for the sexy pick (whomever that might be) but that is not how you build a team. Floyd is the best three tech defensive tackle in this draft. He has incredible quick twitch muscles that allow him to shoot the gaps between the offensive lineman quickly.

(5)Lions Select: Dee Milliner, CB, AlabamaDee is the best all around corner this year and should really boost the Lions porous secondary. The reason Stafford passes for so many yards is because his defense gives up too many points. Hopefully Dee will help change this and the Lions can become a more balanced team.
(6)Browns Select: Jarvis Jones, OLB, GeorgiaMatch made in heaven? Perhaps. The Browns need a young OLB who seems to do everything right. Hats off to hoping he is not Aaron Curry 2.0.
(7)Cardinals Select: Matt Barkley, QB, USC
So it is widely known that the Cardinals need a QB. Bruce Arian's is a Coach who likes a more traditional pocket QB and will pass on Geno Smith. Barkley relied heavily of the likes of Lee and Woods at USC to make plays for him which would be a red flag for other teams. However, the Cardinals have the WR weapons that will make Barkley look like he did at USC.
(8)Bills Select: Cordarrelle Patterson, WR, Tennessee
The Bills choose to grab the top wideout in this years draft. Together, Patterson and Johnson could form to be one of the leagues best wide receiver tandems. However the Bills need to figure out the QB position for this to happen because lets face it, Tavaris, or that schmuck from Harvard aint cutting it.
(9)Jets Select: Bjoern Werner, DE, Florida State

However the Bills need to figure out the QB position for this to happen because lets face it, Tavaris, or that schmuck from Harvard aint cutting it.
(9)Jets Select: Bjoern Werner, DE, Florida State
Could Werner be the answer to the Jets pass rushing problem? Quite possibly. Werner is the top pass rushing DE in the draft however he would need to gain some weight/muscle to fit in with the Jets Scheme. This is a questionable fit for the Jets so lets hope this doesn't pan out like the last few first round DE picks that the Jets have made. I wont name any names as I am sure if you are a Jets fan you know who I am talking about.
(10)Titans Select: Chance Warmack, OG, Alabama
Titans head coach Mike Munchak knows a thing or two about offensive lineman and will be impressed with Warmack here.
(11)Chargers Select: Lane Johnson, OT, OklahomaJohnson could easily be any other years best tackle prospect and end up going in the top 5. However the Chargers are thankful he wont. This is a great fit on a team of need. Plus, Johnson is an insane athlete for a guy of his stature.
(12)Dolphins Select: Dion Jordan, DE, Oregon Dion is a physical pass rushing freak who is climbing up draft boards faster than my first sexual experience lasted. He is basically a tree who can sack a quarterback.
(13)Buccaneers Select: Desmond Trufant, CB, WashingtonTrufant is another guy who is climbing the charts after lighting up the combine. This guy was kind of a hidden treasure at the University of Washington because the team has been mediocre at best during his tenure there. Trufant will help bolster a secondary that desperately needs help. Why did they get rid of Aqib again?
(14)Panthers Select: Star Lotulelei, DT, UtahLotulelei's draft stock has fallen and might fall even further because of his heart condition. Over the weekend, at the combine, it was discovered that Star has a heart condition however there are new reports out that are saying that he was just dehydrated. Whatever. Its all smoke and mirrors. The Panther just might get a steal of a DT here.
(15)Saints Select: Ziggy Ansah, DE, BYU Ansah is a very unique prospect for the Saints. He has only been playing the game of football for a few years and has already become a dominant force on the defensive line. I feel he is more of a JPP for the Giants. Tremendous upside with high risk.
(16)Rams Select: Barkevious Mingo, DE, LSUDid you know this guy has some serious point of attack skills? He once chased down Lamichael James before he could get to the LOS. Mingo will fit right in with the Rams and upgrade the position with youth.
(17)Steelers Select: Alec Ogletree, OLB, GeorgiaSorry Stealers fans. No Comment. I am still bitter about the cheatsfest that was superbowl xl.
(18)Cowboys Select: Kenny Vaccaro, FS, TexasThe Cowboys could desperately use some help in their defensive backfield. Last year they upgraded the corner position and this year I expect them to complete their secondary. The Cowboys want to model their defense after our Hawks so why not draft a FS from Texas? <-- See what I just did. Yeah. Smart.
(19)Giants Select: Sheldon Richardson, DT, MissouriSheldon is a physically gifted DT who carries some baggage outside of football. In the right place Sheldon could flourish. The Giants are cleaning house this year of some of their older guys who all seem to play DT. So there is a need here.
(20)Bears Select: Xavier Rhodes, CB, Florida StateDespite having some awesome playmaking corners, the Bears must realize that they are old and past their prime. Insert Xavier Rhodes. Rhodes might end up starting across from Peanut this year but I wouldn't be surprised if he was their slot guy during his rookie year. Let him learn to play Bear style of CB for a year.
(21)Bengals Select: Tavon Austin, WR, West VirginiaAndy Dalton gets a new toy! Imagine Tavon and AJ together... not like that... but on the same offense. This could take the Bengals passing attack to a whole new level. This could be the makings of a truely special offense here.
(22)Rams Select: Jonathan Cooper, OG, North CarolinaThe combination of speed and strength here are too much for the Rams to pass up on. This might be a little high for Cooper to be picked but he is clearly the number 1 guard in this years draft.
(23)Vikings Select: Datone Jones, DE, UCLAJones is a pass rushing MonStar and would be an excellent fit across from Jared Allen.
(24)Colts Select: Johnathan Hankins, DT, Ohio StateHankins plays like and has been compared to Vince Wilfork. This guy has all the potential in the world to be a star in this league but for whatever reason turned in a sloppy combine performance. The Colts will benefit here from this.
(25)Seahawks Select: Kawann Short, DT, PurdueThe Seahawks could go in many directions here but I am going to stick with what Schneider has told us. He wants to continue to build the pass rush. I will refer you to this well written article http://seahawksdraftblog.com/kawann-short-is-more-than-good-enough-for-seattle.
(26)Packers Select: Tyler Eifert, TE, Notre DameWith Finley most likely leaving via free agency, the Packers will look to upgrade the TE position. Despite having many holes on the defense, the Pack will take this years best TE prospect and never look back. Eifert will be infinitely better than Finley. Count on it.
(27)Texans Select: DJ Fluker, OT, AlabamaTall, long, thick right tackle prospect with huge hands and a solid build. That pure size gives him the power to collapse the edge to create running lanes. The Texans could solidify the right side of their line with this pick.
(28)Broncos Select: Damontre Moore, DE, Texas A&MMoore had a disappointing combine hence his falling all the way to the Broncos. However, this guy has a relentless motor on gameday and is a pass rusher the Broncos will not pass on.
(29)Patriots Select: Keenan Allen, WR, CalLook for the Pats to add a few WR's this year. Keenan Allen is a great WR who played with a not so good cousin QB at Cal. Had Allen played with any formidable QB, he would easily have the stats to warrant a top 15 pick for himself. This should help pad the potential loss of Welker.
(30)Falcons Select: Eddie Lacy, RB, AlabamaIs there really a better way to replace Turner? Steven Jackson via free agency? Lets go with Lacy. This guy is a stud who will probably find himself in a timeshare with Quiz.
(31)49ers Select: Johnthan Banks, CB, Mississippi StateThe Whiners need to infuse their secondary with youth. Thats all. Go Hawks!
(32)Ravens Select: Manti Te'o, ILB, Notre DameManti is insanely comparable to James Laurinaitis of the Rams. Laurinaitis is a solid MLB who plays with instincts and intelligence. lol.
