1 - KC: Luke Joeckel, OT, Texas A&M
It's going to be a battle for Joeckel to hold off Fisher from here til Draft Day. He had a great Pro Day and solidified the spot up at the top for now.

2 - JAX: Sharrif Floyd, DT, Florida
The Jaguars can go in multiple directions here. They have Jason Babin coming back so Defensive End may not be a priority. Defensive Tackle, however, is a major need. Floyd may be the best big man in the draft. Plus, having a Gator come over to Jacksonville is a plus.

3 - OAK: Geno Smith, QB, West Virginia
This is what I think they will do, not what I think they should do. I am still of the belief Smith is going to be a bust. But his pro day is opening eyes, even though it was against no defense. I can see Oakland trading out of this slot to stockpile extra picks if they get a good enough offer.

4 - PHI: Dee Milliner, CB, Alabama
The releases of Nnamdi Asomugha and Dominque Rodgers-Cromartie leave a gaping hole in the secondary. Milliner's combo of strength and speed will make it tough for the Eagles to pass on him especially when they need a top level CB.

5 - DET: Dion Jordan, DE, Oregon
Ziggy Ansah may be a better fit for the Wide Nine that the Lions run, but Jordan is a more complete player. He will step in and try to compensate for the losses of Cliff Avril and Kyle Van Den Boesch.

6 - CLE: Star Lotulelei, DT, Utah
Star could be a top 3 pick if he is fully cleared from the heart condition that kept him from working out at the Combine. With the Browns merging into a 3-4 scheme, he can add a little weight and be a nose tackle, or lose a little and be an end. His talent is off the charts good.

7 - ARI: Eric Fisher, OT, Central Michigan
I can see 4 teams before Arizona take Fisher, including Kansas City at #1. I think the amount of free agent Offensive Tackles will hurt Fisher and he'll slide down to 7, where he will not get past the swiss cheese OL of Arizona.

8 - BUF: Jarvis Jones, OLB, Georgia
The Bills cut Nick Barnett leaving gaping holes in their linebacking corp. Jones is as disruptive a linebacker there is in the draft. Matt Barkley may be in play here, but I still believe they will take Ryan Nassib in the 2nd round.

9 - NYJ: Ezekiel Ansah, DE, BYU
The Jets have numerous holes to fill. More holes than they have picks. It will be interesting to see what happens with Darrelle Revis. I can see the Jets trading down to acquire more picks, but in this scenario, they go with the best pass rusher on the board.

10 - TEN: Chance Warmack, OG, Alabama
The Titans added Shonn Greene as insurance and change of pace to Chris Johnson. They are going to want to prove they can still run the ball. Warmack may be the most NFL ready player in the draft. If he were a Tackle, he'd probably be the #1 overall pick.

11 - SD: Cordarrelle Patterson, WR, Tennessee
The Chargers are going to think long and hard about Lane Johnson here, but they need to give Phillip Rivers a major weapon.

12 - MIA: Lane Johnson, OT, Oklahoma
The imminent departure of Jake Long and Johnson still being available makes this a no-brainer pick. They no longer have to reach for a WR that isn't worth the pick here.

13 - TB: Barkevious Mingo, OLB, LSU
This pick is up in the air as the Bucs are the favorites to land Revis. They don't want to give up this pick, but they probably will have to in order to obtain his services. If they don't, they will look to improve on their pass rush by taking the best one on the board right now.

14 - CAR: Sheldon Richardson, DT, Missouri
This is a little bit of a reach, but it's finally time for the Panthers to address the interior of their D Line. Richardson is the best guy available.

15 - NO: Alec Ogletree, ILB, Georgia
The Saints need help all the way through the middle of their defense. Ogletree is the top Inside Linebacker in the draft. He comes with baggage but that's no big deal for the Saints.

16 - STL: Kenny Vaccaro, SS, Texas
A big need of the Rams D is addressed with the top safety in the draft. They still have another pick in the 1st round.

17 - PIT: Tavon Austin, WR, West Virginia
The Steelers lost Mike Wallace to the Dolphins and replace him with another downfield threat.

18 - DAL: Jonathan Cooper, OG, North Carolina
The Cowboys had maybe the 2nd worst offensive line play in the NFL behind the Cardinals. Cooper is rising up boards fast and may not last until this pick.

19 - NYG: D.J. Fluker, OT, Alabama
The Giants need to get better in the trenches, which was their specialty when they won 2 Super Bowls in 5 years. Fluker will fit in nicely at RT. Bjoern Werner may be in play here too.

20 - CHI: Bjoern Werner, DE, Florida State
Werner was one a lock top 5 pick. Then a disappointing Combine saw his stock completely crash. The Bears will look at his game tape and see that he can be a disruptive force up front.

21 - CIN: Desmond Trufant, CB, Washington
The Bengals are actually one of the more complete teams. Their biggest need is at Cornerback and Trufant has the gene pool of quality NFL talent.

22 - STL: Keenan Allen, WR, California
This pick was received from Washington in last year's trade for Robert Griffin III. Allen is the top prototypical wide-out. Nice combo of size and speed. Needs to become a more accomplished route runner.

23 - MIN: Sylvester Williams, DT, North Carolina
Is there another team that a defensive tackle with the last name of Williams should go to? I think not. Not to mention it's a very good value for a very good player.

24 - IND: Datone Jones, DE, UCLA
Datone Jones may be the top 3 technique DE in the draft. He's going to fit in nicely to replace the departed Dwight Freeney.

25 - MIN: Justin Hunter, WR, Tennessee
This pick was obtained in the trade with Hunter has the size you would dream about for a Wide Receiver. He's also got great hands and was part of one of the top duos in college.

26 - GB: Menelik Watson, OT, Florida State
Watson has been flying up a lot of boards and finds himself in the 1st round with one of the Super Bowl favorites.

27 - HOU: DeAndre Hopkins, WR, Clemson
A 5th WR goes off the board in the 1st round to the Texans. They need someone who can take some attention off of Andre Johnson. They have a bigger need at OLB, but there's no one worth that pick here, unless they reach on Khassim Greene, whom I love.

28 - DEN: Matt Elam, SS, Florida
The Bronco secondary was exposed by the Ravens in the playoffs. Elam is a terrific "center fielder" and will be able to step in and start right away.

29 - NE: Xavier Rhodes, CB, Florida State
It's safe to say the Patriots may trade down out of this pick and grab more picks. But if Aqib Talib bolts in free agency, this is a safe pick for them.

30 - ATL: Damontre Moore, DE, Texas A&M
With the release of John Abraham, the Falcons have a need for a pass rusher. Once thought to be a top 10 pick, his poor showing at the Combine had a huge hit on his stock, similar to Werner.

31 - SF: Jonathan Jenkins, DT, Georgia
The loss of Isaac Sopoaga to the Eagles opens a spot at Nose Tackle. Jenkins is a mountain of a man and will fit in nicely.

32 - BAL: Manti Te'o, ILB, Notre Dame
Te'o's poor Combine may have hurt him more than his off the field issue. The fire sale that the Super Bowl Champions have been going through, along with the Ray Lewis retirement, have made this a priority for them.

Average -- Contrary to popular belief green bay does not need tackles. Bulaga will be back, barcaly played pretty well, newhouse is ok and there first round pick from 2010 derek sherrod should finally be healthy. I don't see fluker as a first rounder

Above Average -- I guess to that comment above you need to have a perfect round in order for it to not be average. I'd change some things but very good.
