costrander3689's Mock Draft (Round 1)

1 - JAX: D.J. Fluker, OT, Alabama
(Smith, QB) The Jaguars only have one reliable o-lineman, and they need a good, strong RT to protect their new investment

2 - KC: Sylvester Williams, DT, North Carolina
(Barkley, QB) The Chiefs need to upgrade their defensive front, and could use an early round pick on a 34DE

3 - CIN: Jackson Jeffcoat, DE, Texas
(from OAK)(Lattimore, HB) The Bengals take the best player on the board and fill a massive need with a pass rusher

4 - CAR: Terrance Williams, WR, Baylor
(Hankins, DT) The Panthers go get Cam Newton a new toy. Williams is a monster, and could be their new #1 when Steve Smith hangs it up

5 - TEN: Jonathan Cooper, OG, North Carolina
(Mingo, DE) The Titans should use their first 2 picks on an o-lineman and a DE. Mingo is a good start, and Cooper gives them a beastly guard

6 - MIA: Tyler Eifert, TE, Notre Dame
(from IND)(Reid, FS) Miami take the best player on the board and gets Tannehill a massive target for the endzone and all over the field

7 - NYJ: Logan Thomas, QB, Virginia Tech
(Hunter, WR) I think the Jets will have a hard time ignoring Thomas if he is still on the board. They should look at what the 49ers do with Kaepernick, and consider taking him as their long-term starter

8 - DAL: Kenny Vaccaro, SS, Texas
(Jenkins, NT) The Cowboys need to upgrade the safety position, badly. Vaccaro could go in the 1st round, and has the potential to be a stud in the NFL

9 - BUF: Cordarrelle Patterson, WR, Tennessee
(Wilson, QB) The Bills get Wilson a stud WR to pair with Steve Johnson

10 - DET: Alex Okafor, DE, Texas
(Milliner, CB) The Lions may be losing Cliff Avril if he doesnt take a pay cut. Okafor would be a nice replacement for him

11 - TB: Jesse Williams, DT, Alabama
(Te'o, MLB) The Bucs get a MLB, and now get a good DT that they can pair with the revitalized, healthy Gerald McCoy

12 - STL: Dion Jordan, DE, Oregon
(Allen, WR; Joeckel, LT) Fisher loves DE depth, and the Rams don't have much. Quinn and Long are good, but there isnt much behind them. Jordan would be a good candidate for OLB duties and as a situational pass rusher

13 - PHI: Brennan Williams, OT, North Carolina
(Warmack, OG) Don't be surprised if the Eagles go back-to-back linemen with these picks. It's really their only need aside from safety, and filling those holes with Warmack and Williams would be a good move

14 - MIA: Cornellius Carradine, DE, Florida State
This pick should be between Shariff Floyd and Carradine. I think Miami will opt for the pass rusher

15 - WAS: Tavon Austin, WR, West Virginia
Santana Moss will not be around forever. Austin is a small, shifty player that knows how to get deep, and RG3 should know just what to do with that

16 - MIN: Sharrif Floyd, DT, Florida
(Woods, WR) The Vikings get themselves a really good DT to continue building around

17 - SEA: Chase Thomas, OLB, Stanford
(Matthews, RT) Thomas, Wagner and Wright would be one of the most fearsome group of run stopping LBs in the league

18 - CIN: Dallas Thomas, OT, Tennessee
The Bengals take the best player on the board, and add to their o-line depth with a very nice, versatile lineman

19 - ARI: Khaseem Greene, OLB, Rutgers
(Bray, QB) Greene and Daryl Washington would be an excellent MLB tandem for this ferocious defense

20 - GB: Nickell Robey, CB, USC
(Amerson, DB) The Packers continue to address their horrid secondary. First with a FS, now with a slot corner

21 - SD: Oday Aboushi, OT, Virginia
(Moore, OLB) Aboushi hasnt had a great year, but he is loaded with potential. The Chargers miss McNeil badly, and Gaither may not be the answer at LT

22 - BAL: Kevin Minter, ILB, LSU
(McDonald, FS) The Ravens get a monster MLB that hits as hard as anyone in this draft to replace Ray Lewis

23 - PIT: EJ Manuel, QB, Florida State
(Banks, CB) The Steelers take advantage of Manuel's free fall, and realize that Big Ben can't stay healthy if he keeps taking the punishment that he's been taking

24 - DEN: Jordan Poyer, CB, Oregon State
(B Jones, OL) Champ Bailey and Tracy Porter are as good as any CB duo in the NFL. They are also two of the oldest starting CBs in the NFL

25 - ATL: John Simon, DE, Ohio State
(Lewan, LT) Simon is hard to evaluate because he could be a DT or DE. I think Atlanta will like him as a replacement for John Abraham

26 - SF: Justin Gilbert, CB, Oklahoma State
(Lemonier, OLB) The 49ers will likely be in the market for multiple CBs come this offseason

27 - CHI: Larry Warford, OG, Kentucky
(Short, DT) The Bears snatch the best o-lineman on the board, and have a good guard that can upgrade either of their starters

28 - NE: William Gholston, DE, Michigan State
(Rhodes, CB) The Patriots get an absolute steal with Gholston. He and Chandler Jones should be an excellent combination

29 - HOU: Da'Rick Rogers, WR, Tennessee Tech
(Fisher, RT) The Texans go get a real #2 WR that can eventually take Andre Johnson's spot

31 - CLE: Sam Montgomery, DE, LSU
The Browns took Josh Gordon in the 2nd round of the Supplemental Draft

32 - NO: Bjoern Werner, DE, Florida State
The Saints lost this pick as part of the sanctions for Bounty Gate
