Based on ESPN's power rankings, top 12 teams considered playoff teams and ranked accordingly
1 - JAX: Geno Smith, QB, West Virginia
If the Jaguars are this bad again, there is no way Gabbert is given a 3rd chance. Smith has been a machine at WVU, and should be vying heavily for the top pick

2 - CLE: Jarvis Jones, OLB, Georgia
The Browns should watch tape of Von Miller in Denver and do the same exact things with Jones, just let him drop into coverage more often

3 - IND: Barkevious Mingo, OLB, LSU
The Colts should see Freeney and/or Mathis gone by the end of the year, leaving a big opening for a traditional 34OLB. Mingo would be an excellent replacement plan

4 - OAK: Matt Barkley, QB, USC
Barkley may not have an elite arm, but either does Andrew Luck. Barkley has all the tools that you want in a rebuilding team, and is a player that the coaches and GM can trust to lead their team properly

5 - TEN: Star Lotulelei, DT, Utah
The Titans have so many issues, and one of the biggest is their inability to stop anyone. Lotulelei should replace Jurel Casey at DT and help free up some of their pass rushers

7 - MIA: Justin Hunter, WR, Tennessee
The Dolphins could look at Montgomery with this pick, but i think Hunter fills a bigger need, and is a player that the Dolphins can't continue rebuilding without

8 - STL: Luke Joeckel, OT, Texas A&M
The Rams get the top LT prospect in the draft, and have a strong blindside protector that Bradford can feel comfortable with

The Bucs need a player that can line up next to McCoy, who has been a revelation

10 - NYJ: Sam Montgomery, DE, LSU
The Jets need an explosive pass rusher at OLB, and though Montgomery might be a bit big at 260, he could easily slim down to 250 and might get better

11 - NO: Eric Reid, FS, LSU
The Saints need a deep safety that can cover for them, and contain deep receivers. Reid is the best in the class, and should really upgrade this defense

12 - BUF: EJ Manuel, QB, Florida State
The Bills are in a great position to take a QB for the future. Fitzpatrick should be released to free up some cap space, and use it to get Manuel a few weapons

13 - MIN: Keenan Allen, WR, California
The Vikings go out and get Ponder another WR to compliment Percy Harvin. Imagine what Ponder could do with more than one real WR

14 - STL: Robert Woods, WR, USC
(from WAS) The Rams get Bradford a super-reliable target. Woods doesn't do anything special, but he is above-average in every facet of the game, making him an exceptional WR

15 - CAR: Dee Milliner, CB, Alabama
The Panthers have some defensive issues, one of which is at CB. Gamble is real nice, and they brought in a few rookies, but they've yet to impress. Milliner would be a nice plug-and-play CB

16 - SEA: Jake Matthews, OT, Texas A&M
The Seahawks like Carpenter at guard, which leaves a big opening at RT. Matthews is a mauler that can really help open plays for them

17 - CIN: Manti Te'o, ILB, Notre Dame
The Bengals take the best player on the board, and get a MLB that can help dictate the flow of the game, and get his teammates up and going

The Cardinals get a real LT that can pass and run block as well as anyone in the draft

19 - DET: Johnthan Banks, CB, Mississippi State
The Lions need CBs in the worst kind of way. Amerson is on the board, but i see him more as a FS/CB hybrid. Banks is a true cover corner that would fit right in with the Lions defense

20 - DAL: Chance Warmack, OG, Alabama
The Cowboys get the steal of the draft and have an incredible plug-and-play guard that should start from day 1

21 - SD: Jonathan Jenkins, DT, Georgia
The Chargers are missing a dominanting NT, and picking up Jenkins would quickly change that

22 - DEN: Marcus Lattimore, RB, South Carolina
The Broncos have squeezed all they can out of McGahee, Moreno looks like he doesn't belong, and Hillman is not an every down back. Lattimore would give them a big-bodied runner that can carry the load year-in and year-out

23 - CHI: Barrett Jones, OG, Alabama
The Bears get an incredibly versatile o-lineman that can play just about any position. They have a number of holes, and adding Jones would certainly fill at least one of them

The Falcons should release Abraham this offseason, and Ray Edwards has been a disappointment. Lemonier should find an early niche as a pass rusher

The Giants get Eli a new toy, and have an exceptional receiving TE to pair with the massive blocker Martellus Bennett

The Steelers get an outside pass rusher that can slowly replace the aging Harrison, and provide a threat across from Woodley

The Packers get a huge steal and pick up a multi-positional DB that can replace Nick Collins at FS, or play CB across from Tramon Williams

30 - NE: T.J. McDonald, FS, USC
The Patriots have lacked a big-play safety since the departures of Lawyer Milloy and Rodney Harrison. McDonald is a similar style of player that can provide an instant upgrade for the Patriots defense

32 - HOU: Arthur Brown, ILB, Kansas State
The Texans need to replace Demeco Ryans, as his presence has been sorely missed. Brown has excellent value here, and gives them another option on their super-stout defense

Below Average -- I see several issues not with your selections, but your assessments of why they should make the selections. The most egregious of them that I see is saying Lotulelei would replace Casey. Casey graded out as one of the top run stuffing DTs last year.
