Team

Player
School
1
Miami Dolphins
OT
Jake Long
Michigan
Signed,sealed,delivered and headed to double digit Pro Bowls
2
St. Louis Rams
DE
Chris Long
Virginia
Glenn Dorsey is only a smoke screen to get the Falcons to offer a second or third rounder to move up
3
Atlanta Falcons
DT
Glenn Dorsey
LSU
Should provide immediate help to a weak front seven
4
Oakland Raiders
RB
Darren McFadden
Arkansas
The Raiders can trim the fat they currently have at running back on June 1 and take a franchise changing running back with this pick
5
Kansas City Chiefs
G
Branden Albert
Virginia
Even with two first round picks the Chiefs are in a position in which they must take an offensive lineman with this pick
6
New York Jets
DE
Vernon Gholston
Ohio St
If the Jets could land McFadden or Gholston, Radio City Music Hall would go nuts
7
New England Patriots
OLB
Keith Rivers
USC
The Patriots are looking to add youth to an aging linebacking corps
8
Baltimore Ravens
QB
Matt Ryan
Boston College
This is a dream scenario for the Ravens
9
Cincinnati Bengals
DT
Sedrick Ellis
USC
If the Bengals want Ellis they may have to trade up to get him
10
New Orleans Saints
CB
Leodis McKelvin
Troy
The Saints have spent money at corner and they have to realize it is not money well spent
11
Buffalo Bills
CB
Dominique Rodgers-Cromartie
Tennessee State
DRC has a ton of upside and a big learning curve going from 1-AA football to the NFL
12
Denver Broncos
OT
Ryan Clady
Boise St
Perfect fit for a team that desperately needs a franchise left tackle
13
Carolina Panthers
DE
Derrick Harvey
Florida
This is pick that is too good to be true if your Carolina
14
Chicago Bears
OT
Christopher Williams
Vanderbilt
The Bears will fix their offense from the inside out in this draft
15
Detroit Lions
RB
Rashard Mendenhall
Illinois
The Lions on the other hand will continue to build from the outside in and continue to go nowhere as an organization
16
Arizona Cardinals
CB
Mike Jenkins
South Florida
The Cardinals have major holes in the secondary and Jenkins should contribute immediately
17
Kansas City Chiefs
OT
Jeffrey Otah
Pitt
Why stop with Branden Albert, fix the right side of the offensive line with Otah.
18
Houston Texans
RB
Jonathan Stewart
Oregon
With the top offensive lineman and corners off the board the Texas decide to fix their below average running game. A bit of a gamble with the toe injury
19
Philadelphia Eagles
WR
Limas Sweed
Texas
I sense this Eagles team is serious about getting wide receiver help early in this draft
20
Tampa Bay Buccaneers
DE
Phillip Merling
Clemson
The Bucs tried to get Jared Allen, so that tells me they are looking for an upgrade at defensive end
21
Washington Redskins
DT
Trevor Laws
Notre Dame
The Redskins have issues with age on the defensive line and won't be disappointed when they get the most underrated player in the draft
22
Dallas Cowboys
RB
Felix Jones
Arkansas
Felix Jones is a pefect home run hitter to complement Marion Barber
23
Pittsburgh Steelers
DT
Kentwan Balmer
N Carolina
The Steelers are loaded at linebacker but could use some help on the defensive line in their 3-4 scheme
24
Tennessee Titans
WR
Desean Jackson
Cal
Vince Young needs an impact wide receiver and Desean Jackson is a big play threat
25
Seattle Seahawks
S
Tyrell Johnson
Arkansas State
The Seahawks can go a number of directions but a hard hitting safety would upgrade this defense
26
Jacksonville Jaguars
WR
Early Doucet
LSU
The Jaguars still have needs at wide receiver and are looking for a polished receiver who can play right away
27
San Diego Chargers
OLB
Jerod Mayo
Tennessee
The inside linebackers for the Chargers are average and could use an upgrade
28
Dallas Cowboys
CB
Brandon Flowers
Virginia Tech
Flowers is a physical corner that brings toughness to a suspect secondary
29
San Francisco 49ers
DE
Quentin Groves
Auburn
The Niners struggle to pressure the quarterback and this pick would be a no-brainer
30
Green Bay Packers
CB
Aqib Talib
Kansas
A perfect situation for Talib to step into
31
New York Giants
S
Kenny Phillips
Miami
Physical safety that fits the Giants schemes perfectly
