1. Buffalo Bills- Andrew Luck, QB, Stanford
Well it's week 3 and the Bills are benching Trent Edwards for Ryan Fitzpatrick. They passed twice on Clausen in this year's draft. Maybe they knew they were going to be picking towards the top next year. Anyway Luck is looking like the better QB between he and Locker and the Bills could have a bright future if they land him to add with CJ Spiller. Now they just need a line.
2. St. Louis Rams- AJ Green, WR, Georgia
Sam Bradford is looking like he is going to be an elite QB, but to get there he's gonna need what all elite QB's have, a go to WR. Green is an athletic freak with great size, strength, and speed. I don't care that he sold his jersey, a broke college student needs some money and that doesn't make him a bad kid.
3. Arizona Cardinals- Jake Locker, QB, Washington
The Cardinals also have a mess at QB and could end up challenging for that number 1 draft spot. Either way I think they're picking high enough to land either Locker or Andrew Luck and find someone to replace Warner and move on from the Leinert fiasco.
4. Carolina Panthers- Marcell Dareus, DE/DT, Alabama
Dareus will likely be the top player on the board at this point and the Panthers need to find someone to replace Julius Peppers.
5. Cleveland Browns- Cameron Heyward, DE, Ohio State
This would be a popular pick in Cleveland, a Buckeye and a player who can play in a 3-4 or a 4-3 and would give them some versatility and flexability on defense.
6. Jacksonville Jaguars- Patrick Peterson, CB, LSU
When you play in the AFC South you have to have some good corners to go against the passing attacks of the Texans and Colts.
7. Detroit Lions- Prince Amukamara, CB, Nebraska
The Lions are more competitive this year and have a bright future, but they are terrible in the secondary and also play in a division with pass happy teams in Green Bay and Chicago.
8. New England Patriots- Julio Jones, WR, Alabama
This pick is via the Oakland Raiders for Richard Seymour. I don't think the Pats are going to re sign Moss, but they will get a talented younger WR who can do it all and with Brady as his QB will be a force in the NFL.
9. Tennessee Titans- Ras I Dowling, CB, Virginia
The Titans are in the same boat with the Jaguars as far as having to stop elite passing offenses. They need help in the secondary but went with the pass rusher this year which was the right move.
10. Seattle Seahawks- Robert Quinn, DE, North Carolina
Quinn's off the field actions could cause him to slide some, but at this point he'd be the best player on the board and Seattle could use someone who's stout against the run and can rush the passer.
11. Tampa Bay Buccaneers- Mark Ingram, RB, Alabama
The Bucs are 2-0 but I doubt it'll last, they haven't beaten anyone any good. Cadillac is a decent back but has durability issues and isn't explosive like he used to be. Last year's heisman winner is a big bruising back who should excel in the NFL.
12. Kansas City Chiefs- Nate Solder, OT, Colorado
The Chiefs have a talented young defense. On offense they have some talented skill players, but Pioli knows it all starts up front and their O line needs some upgrades. The best Tackle in the draft would be a good start.
13. San Francisco 49ers- Ryan Mallett, QB, Arkansas
Alex Smith isn't Singletary's guy, I actually have the Niners winning the NFC West so they won't be picking this high, but this is based on power rankings. Mallett should still be available when they do pick though and after watching Smith throw all those picks against the Saints I think they opt for a new QB.
14. San Diego Chargers- Joseph Barksdale, OT, LSU
With McNeill a holdout the Chargers are playing this year with backups at OT. They'll have to draft someone at the position early next year.
15. Denver Broncos- Janoris Jenkins, CB, Florida
The Broncos have 2 good CB's but both are on the wrong side of 30. Look for them to add some youth to the position early next year.
16. Minnesota Vikings- Jonathon Baldwin, WR, Pittsburgh
The Vikings WR's are struggling this year without Sidney Rice, if they don't trade for Vincent Jackson look for them to draft one of the talented WR's in next years draft class when as many as 5 could go in the 1st round.
17. Dallas Cowboys- Gabe Carimi, OT, Wisconsin
Dallas is finding out the hard way that all the skill players in the world don't matter if you stink up front like the Cowboys do. They are 0-2 and likely won't make the playoffs this year due to their O line woes.
18. Philadelphia Eagles- Marvin Austin, DT, North Carolina
The Eagles have been run all over so far this year and almost lost to the Lions because of this. Austin would be the BPA and fit their biggest need.
19. Miami Dolphins- Ryan Williams, RB, Virginia Tech
The Dolphins tried to trade Ronnie Brown this past off season, Ryan Williams is a fresh pair of legs at the position.
20. Washington Redskins- Rahim Moore, FS, UCLA
The Redskins have a tremendous pass rush, if they had some ball hawks in the secondary they would create a ton of turnovers. Moore had 10 picks last season and is just what they need to become an elite defense.
21. New York Giants- Mark Herzlich, LB, Boston College
The Giants are good front and decent in the secondary, but after losing all 3 LB's after last season need some major upgrades in that department.
22. Atlanta Falcons- Kyle Rudolph, TE, Notre Dame
The Falcons could draft a young TE to learn from the best TE in history. Gonzales's production has fallen off but he could be an asset to them for a couple more years and they could get a good young weapon for their young QB.
23. Chicago Bears- Aaron Williams, CB, Texas
Since Mike Martz thinks the Bears current WR's are future HOF's i'll assume they won't draft one and take a CB to try to slow that GB pass offense.
24. Pittsburgh Steelers- Adrian Clayborn, DE, Iowa
The Steelers are old on the D line, but honestly I hope this guy isn't around when they pick because he's a beast.
25. New York Jets- Micheal Floyd, WR, Notre Dame
The Jets only have Santonio Holmes for 1 year and they can't count on butterfingers Braylon to provide much from the WR position.
26. Baltimore Ravens- DeAndre McDaniel, SS, Clemson
The Ravens secondary sucks, too bad the Bengals couldn't exploit it. Anyway Ed Reed will play a couple more years and McDaniel would provide them with a force at both Safety positions.
27. Cincinnati Bengals- Don'ta Hightower, ILB, Alabama
I have a feeling his stock is going to rise throughout the season, but middle LB's usually slip some on draft day. I hope this can be the pick to replace Dhani Jones who's play has been less than stellar in my opinion. But they may have to go OT to replace fat boy Andre Smith if he can't get his act together. Then they could go Orlando Franklin, the OT from Miami. A FS could also be the pick here such as Deunta Williams from North Carolina.
28. New England Patriots- Greg Romeus, DE, Pittsburgh
The Pats never have gotten a viable replacement for Richard Seymour, this would be great value at a need position.
29. New Orleans Saints- Allen Bailey, DE, Miami
The Saints just let Alex Smith throw all over their defense, they need to get some people who can pressure without bringing the house every passing down.
30. Indianapolis Colts- Stephen Paea, DT, Oregon State
This guy is freakishly strong and his combine numbers alone will likely get him drafted in the 1st round. The Colts need someone this strong to hold up against the run, where they struggle.
31. Houston Texans- Curtis Brown, CB, Texas
The Texans could take a hometown guy at a position where they struggle, in 2 games they've given up 800 yards passing.
32. Green Bay Packers- Daniel Thomas, RB, Kansas State
Ryan Grant struggles with durability issues and Thomas is a big bruising back which would be a good compliment to their ariel attack.
1. Buffalo Bills- Andrew Luck, QB, Stanford
Well it's week 3 and the Bills are benching Trent Edwards for Ryan Fitzpatrick. They passed twice on Clausen in this year's draft. Maybe they knew they were going to be picking towards the top next year.
