saunders_md's Mock Draft (Round 1)

1 - KC: Geno Smith, QB, West Virginia
Not a popular pick in the mock community but Smith certainly has talnet and Andy Reid NEEDS a QB

2 - JAX: Jarvis Jones, OLB, Georgia
To help an anemic pass rush the Jags hope to land the next Von Mller

3 - OAK: Bjoern Werner, DE, Florida State
Need a DE and Werner would be a great fit

4 - PHI: Luke Joeckel, OT, Texas A&M
Even if Peters comes back healthy the selection of Joeckle will allow Herremans to slide back inside and drastically improve the OLine

5 - DET: Damontre Moore, DE, Texas A&M
Athletic DE is the final piece to a talented DLine

6 - CLE: Dee Milliner, CB, Alabama
Teams up with Haden to form a very promising CB duo

7 - ARI: Eric Fisher, OT, Central Michigan
Kolb did show a little bit of promise when healthy and LT is a major need

8 - BUF: Matt Barkley, QB, USC
Not sure Barkley has the arm strength for Buffalo weather but he's the most talented and most ready QB for the Marrone era

9 - NYJ: Star Lotulelei, DT, Utah
Coples, Wilkerson and Lotulelei could form the most promising 3 man front in the league

10 - TEN: Chance Warmack, OG, Alabama
A great player fills a great need

11 - SD: Barkevious Mingo, OLB, LSU
Need more pass rush from the LB's. New coach McCoy should see a lot of Von Miller in Mingo

12 - MIA: Keenan Allen, WR, California
If fully healthy Allen should be the 1st WR off the board

13 - TB: Sheldon Richardson, DT, Missouri
When he's locked in Richardson displays a tenecious bull rush and balls to the walls motor

14 - CAR: Lane Johnson, OT, Oklahoma
RT is a need as is an heir apparent for Jordan Gross

15 - NO: Kenny Vaccaro, SS, Texas
Roman Harper is a liability in coverage and isnt getting any younger

16 - STL: Sharrif Floyd, DT, Florida
Would compliment Brockers very well and allow Langford be more effective in a backup role

17 - PIT: Desmond Trufant, CB, Washington
Ike Taylor is on the decline

18 - DAL: Ezekiel Ansah, DE, BYU
Great fit opposite Ware

19 - NYG: Jonathan Cooper, OG, North Carolina
Capable of playing OG or OC

20 - CHI: Jesse Williams, DT, Alabama
With no capable LT's around CHI goes BAP and forms a versatile rotation at DT

21 - CIN: Cordarrelle Patterson, WR, Tennessee
Sanu showed some promises but Patterson is busting with potential

22 - STL: Alec Ogletree, ILB, Georgia
Size and speed makes Ogletree a prime canidate to play outside, behind a talented front 4

23 - MIN: Xavier Rhodes, CB, Florida State
Need a replacement for Winfield

24 - IND: Datone Jones, DE, UCLA
Impressed at the Senior Bowl, fills a need at 5 tech

25 - SEA: Alex Okafor, DE, Texas
Insurance for the Clemons injury

26 - GB: Dion Jordan, DE, Oregon
Matthews is the man and the team invested a 1st rounder in Nick Perry. Jordan played all over the field in college and Dom Capers would love to add the versatile pass rusher to the fold

27 - HOU: Zach Ertz, TE, Stanford
Daniels is on the wrong side of 30 and two TE would be a good look for the run 1st Texans

28 - DEN: Johnathan Hankins, DT, Ohio State
NG is a big need for DEN and this big man can fill the gap

29 - NE: Sam Montgomery, DE, LSU
Need a young bookend for Jones

30 - ATL: Jonathan Jenkins, DT, Georgia
Rush D was a weakness for ATL and its Jenkins strength

31 - SF: Johnthan Banks, CB, Mississippi State
Rogers is getting older and Banks has lockdown potential

32 - BAL: D.J. Fluker, OT, Alabama
McKinnie is on his last legs
