This is a detailed mock draft after the conclusion of the combine. Please comment as I know certain teams I am not as familiar with their needs and tendancies. Please note, I believe there is going to be a ton of trades in this draft, but here is a layout of where I think players will go if they do draft this order.

1 - KC: Geno Smith, QB, West Virginia
The Problem is, there is no real number one here. Number one over all should be a difference maker, and although Geno Smith is not RG3, he is the best QB of the class and why he goes No. 1.
2 - JAX: Sharrif Floyd, DT, Florida
Concerns over Star Lotulelei's health, and while Moore and Werner fail to look like top five pick material in the combine has skyrocketed Floyd's stock. So they go with the best 4-3 defensive tackle and perhaps the best defensive player in in the draft.
3 - OAK: Dee Milliner, CB, Alabama
The Raiders need more than just a few guys, so if I were them, trade out of this spot. The problem will be finding someone to trade with. This pick could also be DT Star, but I believe they go with the top corner as the DT can be filled later in the draft. Not having a second round pick, they need to trade down, or they need to nail this pick. Dee looks the part, and showed well at the combine which will solidify himself as the top corner of the group. Raiders hope he's the next C. Bailey.
4 - PHI: Luke Joeckel, OT, Texas A&M
The Eagles are sick of depending on Jason Peters, so they go with the safest player in the draft, and help either the fragile Vick or Nick Foles stay upright. Watch out for Eric Fisher, he might end up surpassing Joeckel as the top tackle.
5 - DET: Ezekiel Ansah, DE, BYU
His freakish athleticism and size will make the lions bite and may turn this into one of the scariest defensive lines to defend. I have no doubt this guy is a top 10 lock.
6 - CLE: Dion Jordan, DE, Oregon
Jordan looks to be that optimal 3-4 rush linebacker, and is what the Browns are desperately looking for. Jordan's stock may fall because of the shoulder surgery, but the fact that he blew up at the combine will reward him with a top 10 selection.
7 - ARI: Matt Barkley, QB, USC
I really think this is a spot where the Cardinals really would trade down, specifically someone who covets Lane Johnson or Barkevious Mingo. The buzz is they will take Barkley here, but Eric Fisher could be the guy if they end up getting Alex Smith.
8 - BUF: Alec Ogletree, ILB, Georgia
Originally I thought Ogletree would be too high here. With Barnett gone, there is a glaring need here, and Alec is heads and shoulders the best ILB in the draft. A Jerod Mayo type, though the Bills are also going to try and trade down while still targeting this guy and get the right value.
9 - NYJ: Barkevious Mingo, OLB, LSU
Remember Vernon Gholston? Mingo is little risky, and has bust written all over him, but finding the next Aldon Smith is what teams will risk. Though there is no denying that this is a special athlete.
10 - TEN: Star Lotulelei, DT, Utah
It's amazing that he drops to this spot, but the emphasis for a lot of teams will be to protect and get after the Quarterback. His heart condition will alarm teams, but don't think it will drop him much farther than this.
11 - SD: Eric Fisher, OT, Central Michigan
I don't think there is any way FisherI lasts this long, someone will trade up for him, in any case they take either Fisher or Lane Johnson in this spot.
12 - MIA: Lane Johnson, OT, Oklahoma
Even if they keep franchise Long, they get Lane Johnson here. They can move Long to the right side where their right tackle last year was a sieve. Super athletic Lane Johnson is a franchise left tackle, and maybe the best player in the draft.
13 - TB: Desmond Trufant, CB, Washington
The Bucs are sorely in need of a CB and Trufant looks like he put slotted himself as the second best corner of the draft. Vaccaro, Rhodes, and Jarvis Jones are also possibilities.
14 - CAR: Cordarrelle Patterson, WR, Tennessee
Cam Newton needs more weapons, as an aging Steve Smith is not enough. Patterson is a very athletic WR that can stretch the field and provide a big target.
15 - NO: Johnathan Hankins, DT, Ohio State
The 3-4 needs pieces, and with out an elite edge rusher available they go with addressing the NT. Hankins is projected to be the best NT in the draft, and the Saints will look for the best linebacker or safety here as well.
16 - STL: Jonathan Cooper, OG, North Carolina
Fisher wants to dominate up front. Cooper has shown to have a much higher ceiling over Warmack. Cooper I believe takes the top Guard spot in this draft.
17 - PIT: Jarvis Jones, OLB, Georgia
The steelers really need to turn things around. A really good safety like Elam can tip the scales, and become Troy's future replacement. But incumbent linebacker play will have them take a chance with Jarvis Jones. I don't think Jones will test well at his pro day and will have him drop to the second half of the first round.
18 - DAL: Chance Warmack, OG, Alabama
It has leaked that there is no way Cooper gets past the "boys" but they will gladly take the road grader Warmack. He's athleticism was in question at the combine, but believe me this guy can block and the tape doesn't lie.
19 - NYG: Matt Elam, SS, Florida
Inside linebacker is the biggest need here, but the likes of Te'o and Minter look more like second round talents. Defense can get addressed here, and safety would be a nice upgrade.
20 - CHI: Tyler Eifert, TE, Notre Dame
Getting a security blanket for Jay Cutler will be important for the bears. Eifert is one of the most athletic TE to come out in years. With Gronk showing that a premium TE is a huge weapons, Chicago upgrades their weakest position.
21 - CIN: Tavon Austin, WR, West Virginia
Austin has really helped himself at the combine. Went from being a second round prospect to a first rounder. A dynamic player that would be a perfect compliment to AJ Green and give the Red Rifle a much needed secondary target.
22 - STL: Justin Hunter, WR, Tennessee
This is a big, bad, and fast receiver. My personal break out guy in the draft boasts ridiculous athletic ability.
23 - MIN: Sheldon Richardson, DT, Missouri
Yeah, everybody is screaming WR right here. The group is deep, but they won't pass on the likes of Sheldon Richardson here.
24 - IND: Damontre Moore, DE, Texas A&M
His unimpressive combine performance will put him into free fall. Colts need a true rush linebacker in their 3-4 scheme, and Moore is a steal at this point, even given the apparent lack of physical prowess. They hope he is like T. Suggs, a guy that doesn't test well, but can ball.
25 - SEA: Jesse Williams, DT, Alabama
The Seahawks go OL, WR, or DT here. Watch for Zach Ertz to go here as well. Figuring they can get a WR later in the draft because of the position's depth this year, they select a true first round talent in Jesse Williams to add more teeth to that already dangerous defense.
26 - GB: Margus Hunt, DE, Southern Methodist
The "East Block" is all but a super hero after what he did at the combine. He is drawing comparisons to JJ Watt. A very raw olympic grade athlete, Ted Thompson loves upside. It will also be a team where he doesn't have to play every down and slowly hone the craft. Don't be surprised if he goes higher than this.
27 - HOU: Xavier Rhodes, CB, Florida State
Rhodes is a true cover corner, but they may go with a receiver at this spot. I don't think they will allow this guy to get away from them, showing that he could really help that sad Texan's secondary.
28 - DEN: Jonathan Jenkins, DT, Georgia
Jenkins is a powerful disruptive force and will make denver's defense that much better. A huge man thought that he might fit better in a 3-4 scheme. But Denver goes big here anyway. Manti Te'o could also find a home here.
29 - NE: Kenny Vaccaro, SS, Texas
This LSU playmaker can help with the Patriots woes in it's secondary. A do it all defender that will make an immediate impact.
30 - ATL: Bjoern Werner, DE, Florida State
Pass Rush is their main concern this off season and they get a gift. Once projected to be a top five player, he looks pedestrian and has a very low ceiling. I think he will be a solid player at the next level, but an underwhelming athletic resume and positional needs of others will drop Werner all the way to the bottom of the first or early second round.
31 - SF: DeAndre Hopkins, WR, Clemson
Hopkins reminds me of Hakeem Nicks. Not a burner or overwhelming, but a true baller that can separate and make plays.
32 - BAL: Eric Reid, FS, LSU
Safety is one of the best positions that this draft has to offer. Reid is a ball hawk, and can become Ed Reed's successor while aiding in the secondary right away. Look for Cornellius Washington to go here also.

Poor -- KC take a QB, do not need OL Joeckel is weak run blocker

-- A great draft

-- Great draft, but think Jarvis Jones does not fall out of the top 10.

Above Average -- Self rate? Elam is a little too high, especially considering where Vaccaro is. I absolutely agree with Hunt. I had him in my first round many weeks before this one, and nobody seemed to care. Lol P.S Chiefs get A. Smith, Take either fisher or Joeckel.
