1. Miami Dolphins - Jake Long, OT, Michigan - Easy selection as it's already been made.
2. St. Louis Rams - Chris Long, DE, Virginia - They just need to get better period. Long is the best player available and they'll take him.
3. Atlanta Falcons - Glenn Dorsey, DT, LSU - Whereas they may take Ryan I think they'll be happier picking up a 2nd Round QB instead of spending the money on Ryan
4. Oakland Raiders - Darren McFadden, HB, Arkansas - Is it who they should take? No. But reports say that Al Davis loves him and I think this is where he will go.
5. New Orleans Saints(from KC) - Sedrick Ellis, DT, USC - After Johnathan Sullivan failed they've been needing a huge DT to help their D. If Ellis is as good as billed he'll make the other 10 guys on the field better.
6. New York Jets - Vernon Gholston, DE, Ohio State - Ideally Darren McFadden would fall here or they would trade up. Either way I don't see either scenario working out. Gholston will terrorize QBs in New York now.
7. New England Patriots - Keith Rivers, OLB, USC - Makes great plays all over the field and is the intelligent linebacker that Belicheck loves.
8. Baltimore Ravens - Matt Ryan, QB, Boston College - With the prompt retirement of Steve McNair the Ravens are left without a QB. Ryan fits the bill and is their selection.
9. Cincinnati Bengals - Kentwan Balmer, DT, UNC - A shady pick at best but Cincinnati desperately needs to get better on the line. With that being said and no one biting on the nine pick the Bengals decide on Balmer.
10. Kansas City Chiefs(from NO) - Brandon Albert, G/T, Virginia - They need to improve their offensive line Albert is athletic enough to fill in at any of the positions and is a great pick here.
11. Philadelphia Eagles(from BUF) - Devin Thomas, WR, Michigan State - Trade here is Lito Sheppard and the Eagles 1st round for the Bills first round and perhaps a later pick. Thomas is probably the best WR in this draft and will fit in nicely.
12. Denver Broncos - Jerod Mayo, ILB, Tennessee - Denvers biggest issue is moving DJ back to the outside. Mayo is the best true ILB in this draft. Connor is good but is more of an Outside Linebacker.
13. Carolina Panthers - Ryan Clady, OT, Boise State - With the recent shifting of the offensive line it opens up a Tackle spot that Clady could fill right away.
14. Chicago Bears - Rashard Mendenhall, HB, Illinois - Knows Ron Turners system and is already in the state. Benson didn't do much last year and the Bears aren't that far away from even a playoff berth.
15. Detroit Lions - Leodis McKelvin, CB, Troy - With many needs the Lions fill a CB need with Leodis now that Mendenhall is off the board. Could also pick Stewart but I don't see them taking him.
16. Arizona Cardinals - Aquib Talib, CB, Kansas - With Antrel Rolle being moved to safety they need someone to fill in the gap at CB. Talib is a physical corner and the Cards D likes to play Press. Stewart is also a possibility here.
17. Kansas City Chiefs(from MIN) - Derrick Harvey, DE, - After the trade of Allen they have an opening at DE. I could also see them taking a corner here but with both Phillip Merling and Derrick Harvey still on the board it's hard to pass up. Harvey has good burst and great athleticism. If the Bills don't trade their pick he may go as high as 11.
18. Houston Texans - Dominique Rodgers-Cromartie, CB, TSU - DRC is a good playmaker at corner and fits the bill in Houston. Should help solidify the improving Texans Defense and give them better coverage on all of Jacksonsvilles recievers
19. Buffalo Bills(from PHI) - James Hardy, WR, Indiana - After filling their need at CB with Lito Sheppard the Bills settle on a WR here. Hardy/Sweed/Jackson could go here I chose Hardy to compliment Lee Evans.
20. Tampa Bay Buccaneers - Mike Jenkins, CB, South Florida - Another kid who's staying home. Bucs need to solidify their mediocre secondary and get a kid who could improve their defense. Jenkins is a good cornera and is too good to pass up here for a WR.
21. Jacksonville Jaguars(from WAS) - Phillip Merling, DE, Clemson - After turning down an offer for Jason Taylor the Jaguars move up in the draft to take the second best Pass Rush End in Merling. They could stay pat and take Calais Campbell but I think Merling is too good for them to miss on.
22. Dallas Cowboys - Felix Jones, HB, Arkansas - Complimentary to Marion Barber Jerry Jones picks the other HB from Arkansas. Jones is quick and agile but unproven. Can also return kicks and punts.
23. Pittsburgh Steelers - Jeff Otah, OT, Pittsburgh - After giving up 47 sacks and with Smith having chronic back pains AND Faneca leaving the Steelers need to add a few linemen. Otah is a great pick and good value at 23.
24. Tennessee Titans - Limas Sweed, WR, Texas - Almost too good to be true Sweed who caught a few balls from Young in college will now move to Tennessee to catch balls from him. Sweed is by far my favorite wideout in the draft and I think he'll fit in perfectly. Jackson is another options
25. Seattle Seahawks - Chris Williams, OT, Vanderbilt - Now that they've learned the importance of having a good offensive line they add Williams. Another good Tackle and great value at 25. A reach but Fred Davis could go here as well
26. Washington Redskins - Kenny Phillips, S, Miami(FL) - Almost assured that Phillips would fall this far they bite on Jacksonvilles trade and pick up more picks along the way and get the guy the want. They could also go OT or DE here with Gosder and Campbell still on the board.
27. San Diego Chargers - Jonathan Stewart, HB, Oregon - After losing Michael Turner to Free Agency the Chargers pick up another fast backup for LT in Stewart. Anyone else notice he ran a 4.5 with a Bum Toe.
28. Dallas Cowboys - Desean Jackson, WR, California - Pick up a speedster replacement to compliment Terrell Owens. Another upside guy Jackson has a high ceiling but it's also a long way to the floor. Another guy who also immediately improves the Return game for Dallas.
29. San Fransisco 49ers - Gosder Cherilus, OT, Boston College - This is San Fransisco's dream. They get to move Joe Staley over to LT and have bookend Tackles for years to come. They should be able to address later WR needs in the later rounds.
30. Atlanta Falcons(From GB) - Joe Flacco, QB, Delaware - They don't have many needs so I hardly think that GB will stay put. As far as Atlanta goes they either take Flacco or Brohm. I like Flacco more than Brohm due to Flacco's mobility but insert either here.
31. LOL CHEATERS
32. New York Giants - Fred Davis, TE, USC - With the trade talks circulating around Shockey I wouldn't be surprised if Davis gets selected here. I could also see Dan Connor or Antoine Cason taken here.
