|
Ndamukong Suh - DT - Nebraska 6-4, 300 pounds last pick : Ndamukong Suh |
| With Spagnuolo at the helm, the Rams will certainly go defense. Ndamukong Suh is the best player in this draft and, as Peter King said, is the best defensive player that came out of college this decade. A sure fire number one pick that will anchor the Rams line for years to come. | ||
| 2. |
|
Gerald McCoy - DT - Oklahoma 6-4, 297 pounds last pick : Russell Okung |
| Two picks, two defensive tackles. McCoy is a great player, with size, speed and strenght and he will help in the run defense and keep linemans off the linebackers. | ||
| 3. |
|
Dez Bryant - WR - Oklahoma State 6-2, 220 pounds last pick : Sam Bradford |
| I admit, it is a bit high for Dez Bryant but how can Brady Quinn truly develop without any threat at receiver? Bryant as had some issues but he is by far the best receiver in the draft and would give Quinn a great target to throw to. | ||
| 4. |
|
Eric Berry - S - Tennessee 5-11, 203 pounds last pick : Eric Berry |
| Detroit defense was atrocious this year. Eric Berry is the best athlete on the outside and would bring athleticism and playmaking habilites to a secondary that really needs it. | ||
| 5. |  Kansas
City Chiefs |
Russell Okung - OT - Oklahoma State 6-5, 300 pounds last pick : Taylor Mays |
| The Chiefs have had problems on the O-Line in the last few years. Picking Okung would be the first step to get the unit back into form and keep Matt Cassell on his feets. | ||
| 6. |
|
Trent Williams - OT - Oklahoma 6-5, 318 pounds last pick : Trent Williams |
| The Redskins probably had one, or one of the, worst offensive line in all of football. They couldn't protect Jason Campbell nor create holes for their running backs. With Russell Okung gone, Trent Williams is the second best tackle in this draft and he would surely start from day one. | ||
| 7. |
|
Rolando McClain - LB - Alabama 6-4, 258 pounds last pick : Brandon Spikes |
| McClain is a freak of nature and he would bring instant playmaking habilities to the linebacking corp of the Raiders. He is big, he is fast, he is strong and he is a natural leader. Having been coached by Nick Saban will also help him make the transition to the pros easily. | ||
| 8. |
|
Sam Bradford - QB - Oklahoma 6-4, 223 pounds last pick : Gerald McCoy |
| Sam Bradford will probably slip because of his injuries but he still is the best QB in the draft. With Hasselback aging and being injured a lot, Bradford would be a nice insure policy to have for the next years and he would have time to develop into the starting QB. | ||
| 9. |  Denver
Broncos (from Chicago) |
Taylor Mays - S - USC 6-3, 230 pounds last pick : Selvish Capers |
| The Broncos can't pass Mays, even if he had a sub par year. He is a physical speciman and a hard hitter who will bring it every game. | ||
| 10. |  San
Francisco 49ers (from Carolina) |
Joe Haden - CB - Florida 5-11, 190 pounds last pick : Jimmy Clausen |
| Alex Smith seems to be back, so I don't see the 49ers go for a QB here, even though Jimmy Clausen would be a nice addition. Joe Haden was a great CB in college and will probably be a starting CB in the NFL from day one. He has speed, skills and is calm under pressure. He'll be one of the good cover corners of this league for years to come. | ||
| 11. |
|
Bryan Bulaga - OT - Iowa 6-6, 312 pounds last pick : Carlos Dunlap |
| Bulaga is skyrocketting up draft boards with a marvelous year. Since Jason Peters has left, the Bills are searching for the left tackle of the future and Bulaga just might be that guy. He's got long arms, quick feets and is a fericious blocker. | ||
| 12. |
|
Golden Tate - WR - Notre-Dame 5-11, 195 pounds last pick : Dez Bryant |
| Tate was the best player on the field night in, night out for the Fighting Irish. He may be small but he plays much bigger. He also has a knack for big plays and is always around the action. | ||
| 13. | San
Francisco 49ers |
Selvish Capers - OT - West Virginia 6-5, 298 pounds last pick : Terrence Cody |
| The 49ers defense is good and it is now turn to stabilize the offense. The first step is to get that franchise left tackle to protect the QB and give him time to make his reads. Selvish Capers is a great athlete, big, fast and bright and he will help protect whoever plays QB for the niners. | ||
| 14. |
|
Anthony Davis - OT - Rutgers 6-6, 325 pounds last pick : Rolando McClain |
| The Steelers needed offensive line help last year but didn't address that need. Now, they have to go and get a good tackle to protect Big Ben, who's been hit more and more back there. Anthony Davis is a huge guy but who also has quick feet. He could be protecting the big no. 7 blind side for a long time. | ||
| 15. |  Houston
Texans |
Jonathan Dwyer - RB - Georgia Tech 5-10, 195 pounds last pick : Damian Williams |
| The Texans loved Steve Slaton last year but he has shown he may not be the number one back the are looking for. Jonathan Dwyer is a bit small but he plays big and has that second gear. A tandem of Slaton and Dwyer would loosens the pressure on Matt Schaub and the aerial attack. | ||
| 16. |  Atlanta
Falcons |
Carlos Dunlap - DE - Florida 6-6, 290 pounds last pick : Eric Decker |
| The Falcons had problems bringing pressure on opposing QBs and Dunlap may be the perfect solution for them, especially if he falls that far. He is a physical specimen that reminds a lot of Javon Kearse. Dunlap and John Abraham would form a terrible duo. | ||
| 17. |
|
Sergio Kindle - LB - Texas 6-4, 255 pounds last pick : Arthur Jones |
| Rex Ryans loves to have good linebackers to bring pressure on QBs, like the Suggs and Lewis he had in Baltimore. Kindle is a tweener, DE / LB hybrid who is probably the best pass rusher of this drat. | ||
| 18. |  New
York Giants |
Patrick Robinson - CB - Florida State 5-11, 194 pounds last pick : Joe Haden |
| The Giants defense, suprisingly, had a lot of problems this year and were often caused by poor coverage. Robinson will be a great cover corner that will be able to stay on an island with his guy and free up his teammates. | ||
| 19. |
|
Terrence Cody - DT - Oklahoma 6-5, 365 pounds last pick : Jerry Hugues |
| Jason Ferguson could leave the team and Mount Cody will be a fitting replacement. He is huge and really tough to move. He will plug the middle of the line and maybe occupy two defenders, freeing up the linebackers. | ||
| 20. |
|
Jimmy Clausen - QB - Notre-Dame 6-3, 223 pounds last pick : Jonathan Dwyer |
| David Garrard is a good QB but has shown he may not be able to get the Jags to the other level. If Clausen is still there at this spot, it will be an easy decision for Jacksonville. Clausen is big, makes good read, has a nice touch on the ball and has shown his toughness in the last two years in ND. | ||
| 21. |
|
Brandon LaFell - WR - LSU 6-3, 206 pounds last pick : Sean Weatherspoon |
| The Ravens have one of the best young QB in Joe Flacco. They should bring him a prime target, especially since Derrick Mason might retire at season's end. Brandon LaFell is fast, big and will surely be a starter from day one. | ||
| 22. |
|
Jerry Hughes - DE - TCU 6-3, 257 pounds last pick : Greg Hardy |
The Pats need to bring more pressure on QBs and Hughes is a great prospect who was a force for TCU in the last two years. He is fast around the edge and has a lot of moves to get free to get pressure. He would be a fitting replacement for Richard Seymour. |
||
| 23. |
|
C.J. Spiller - RB - Clemson 5-11, 195 pounds last pick : Anthony Davis |
| Spiller was all over the field at Clemson, breaking big plays almost every time he touched the ball. He can hurt you running the ball, catching it and returning punts. He would bring playmaking skills to a team that really needs it on offense and special teams. | ||
| 24. |  Dallas Cowboys |
Arthur Jones - DT - Syracuse 6-4, 293 pounds last pick : Jahvid Best |
| The Cowboys have a good team on paper but their D-Line didn't get enough pressure and it may start from the middle. Jay Ratliff is far from the best fit as the nose tackle and Arthur Jones may fit the mold perfectly. He is strong, big and would help get Ratliff back to his natural position of DE. | ||
| 25. |  Arizona
Cardinals |
Jermaine Gresham - TE - Oklahoma 6-6, 258 pounds last pick : Sergio Kindle |
| The Cards may have one of the best offense in the game but they lack a great tight end to create mismatches in the middle and free up the receivers. Gresham would have been a top 15 pick but a knee injury ended his season prematurely and Arizona would love to get him in their lineup. | ||
| 26. |  Philadelphia
Eagles |
Brandon Spikes - ILB - Florida 6-3, 258 pounds last pick : Brandon LaFell |
| Spikes stock fell down a bit this year even though he had a good season. He unfortunately didn't stand out in a defense that was full of stars, got hurt and also suspended. He is still a natural leader and a great player and would bring a lot to Philly. | ||
| 27. |
|
Corey Wootton - DE - Northwestern 6-7, 280 pounds last pick : Corey Wootton |
| The Packers really upgraded their defense with BJ Raji and Clay Matthews last year but they still need playmakers to make their 3-4 defense great. Wootton is a great player with unbelievable physical tools. He is big, strong and fast and creates problems for any tackle trying to block him. | ||
| 28. |
|
Marvin Austin - DT - UNC 6-2, 291 pounds last pick : Tim Tebow |
| Austin is a great athlete who developped as a first round talent in North Carolina. He has great strenght and can occupy two defenders in the middle. He would open up space for other players on the Bengals D and clog up the middle of the line. | ||
| 29. |  Indianapolis
Colts |
Perrish Cox - CB - Oklahoma State 6-0, 198 pounds last pick : Geno Atkins |
| The Colts are a complete team but may need to make tough decision in the offseason. With Bob Sanders due big money, they may have to cut ties with Marlin Jackson or Antoine Betea, which would open up a spot for Perrish Cox, a great player with good vision. | ||
| 30. |
|
Sean Weatherspoon - LB - Missouri 6-2, 245 pounds last pick : Jermaine Gresham |
| Weatherspoon was the best player on defense for Missouri and will bring instant upgrade to a Saints defense that was suprisingly good this year. He can cover, blitz and is a great tackler. | ||
| 31. |  San
Diego Chargers |
Arrelious Benn - WR - Illinois 6-2, 220 pounds last pick : Sean Lee |
| The Chargers are known to love big receivers to create mismatch with corners and safeties. Benn may not be 6-5 but he is fast, has great hands and runs great routes. He has been a producer at every level he played and it should keep going in the NFL, especially if it's Rivers who is throwing him the ball. | ||
| 32. |  Minnesota
Vikings |
Tim Tebow - QB - Florida 6-3, 245 pounds last pick : Roddrick Muckleroy |
| Brett Favre might play another year but he won't be here forever. Tim Tebow is probably the most intriguing prospect of the draft. He's probably the best leader of college football history. Imaging reuniting him with Percy Harvin and giving him Adrian Petterson and Sidney Rice. Scary! | ||
