1. Miami Dolphins – Chris Long, DE, Virginia
Dolphins would consider trading down if they had the right offer, but Long is the perfect pick in Sparano’s 34 defense if they remain, despite the Jake Long talk.
2. St. Louis Rams – Jake Long, OL, Michigan
Time to find a replacement for Orlando Pace. Meet Jake Long.
3. Atlanta Falcons – Glen Dorsey, DL, LSU
The Falcons need QB help but perhaps aren't sure they want to make that commitment to Matt Ryan. I would not be surprised if Ryan was the pick, but a healthy Dorsey now and a QB in the second is possible.
4. Oakland Raiders – Darren McFadden, RB, Arkansas
With his speed and production, Al Davis can't resist.
5. Kansas City Chiefs – Ryan Clady, OL, Boise
Needs all over the place for the Chiefs. Offensive line is definitely very high on the list and they were hoping Jake Long would get to them. A trade down would be a possibility to get one of the next tier O Linemen, but instead they stay and take the next best player.
6. New York Jets – Vernon Gholston, DE/OLB, Ohio State
The pass rusher is too explosive to pass up for the Jets. If Matt Ryan is on the board it will be very interesting to see what they do.
7. New England Patriots – Leodis McKelvin, CB, Troy
Two CB starters are gone and the process of replacing them starts here.
8. Baltimore Ravens – Matt Ryan, QB, Boston College
Defensive help could be used, but the QB issue is urgent for the Ravens, for whom Troy Smith isn't the answer. Ravens are even more determined to use this pick on a QB with Ryan there for the taking.
9. Cincinnati Bengals – Sedrick Ellis, DT, USC
Free agency saw some big improvements on defense and Ellis becomes the latest.
10. New Orleans Saints – Dominique Rodgers Cromartie, CB, Tennessee State
Defense is where the holes are for the Saints. Cornerback is a primary need and the Saints can get a top CB, although many have a LB going here.
11. Buffalo Bills – Keith Rivers, LB, USC
Plenty of areas of need for the Bills. More OL help, CB, WR are all priority spots, but look for a LB here.
12. Denver Broncos – Chris Williams, OT, Vanderbilt
Hard to see the Broncos passing on a perfect fit on OL.
13. Carolina Panthers – Brandon Albert, OL, Virginia
If Rivers was still there, I could see them going for him, but now things change. RB is a need, along with LB and OL. I see Brandon Albert the Guard from Virginia heading up to this spot.
14. Chicago Bears - Jeff Otah, OL, Pittsburgh
Endless possibilities for the Bears who need WR, RB, OL, QB help. OL is possibly the safest and the big guy from Pittsburgh gets the call.
15. Detroit Lions – Rashard Mendenhall, RB, Illinois
A few need areas, but RB is an immediate need for the Lions.
16. Arizona Cardinals – Mike Jenkins, CB, USF
The Cards are moving Antrel Rolle to Safety and need a CB. They also need a RB, so don’t be surprised to see Felix Jones name called.
17. Minnesota Vikings – Derrick Harvey, DE, Florida
Defensive End is a need spot for the Vikings, along with LB. Look for the Vikes to address Defensive End early and they are rapt to have Harvey still there.
18. Houston Texans – Limas Sweed, WR, Texas
The signing of Chris Brown took the RB need back a round, so a target opposite Andre Johnson becomes vital and Sweed stays in state. Some consider OL a need area.
19. Philadelphia Eagles – DeSean Jackson, WR, Cal
Not too many huge needs for the Chargers. More speed and athleticism would help greatly and Phillips will be an eventual upgrade to the secondary.
20. Tampa Bay Buccaneers – Devin Thomas, WR, Michigan State
Playmakers on offense is what the Bucs are saying, so look for Thomas. LB or RB could also be a chance.
21. Washington Redskins – Phillip Merling, DE, Clemson
A pass rusher is the likely option, but the Redskins need to replace the departed Sean Taylor, and Kenny Phillips could be a candidate there, but the speedy pass rusher gets the nod after an outsanding combine workout. Some concern about sports hernia, but all should check out.
22. Dallas Cowboys – Felix Jones, RB, Arkansas
The RB they desire fell into their lap, so the Cowboys add the speed with Marion Barber’s inside running.
23. Pittsburgh Steelers – Godser Cherilus, OL, Boston College
The aging Steelers OLine struggled this past season as evidenced by the Jags domination. Time to bring in some youth.
24. Tennessee Titans – James Hardy, WR, Indiana
WR is the option here, but a first round pass rusher could add plenty to the Titans who are likely to have high turnover at the position.
25. Seattle Seahawks – Kentwan Balmer, DT, North Carolina
RB is no longer a need for Seattle after their FA work, so Hasselbeck could use a reliable TE, but the interior DL of the Seahawks needs help and Balmer arrives.
28. Jacksonville Jaguars – Calais Campbell, DE, Miami
D Line depth was a problem last year and need meets value with Calais Campbell.
27. San Diego Chargers – Kenny Phillips, S, Miami
Not too many huge needs for the Chargers. More speed and athleticism would help greatly and Phillips will be an eventual upgrade to the secondary.
28. Dallas Cowboys – Mario Manningham, WR, Michigan
Plenty of options for the Cowboys. Picking up Pacman should mean WR is the priority and the Cowboys have two solid players to choose from, in the end they go for the size and playmaking of Manningham.
29. San Francisco 49'ers– Dan Connor, LB, Penn State
With Manningham on the board, he will be hard to resist, but instead the Niners look to plug in Connor next to Patrick Willis.
30. Green Bay Packers – Aqib Talib, CB, Kansas
TE could be a chance, but the next best CB and return man is the pick.
*31 New England Patriots – Pick forfeited due to Spygate
32. New York Giants – Jerod Mayo, LB, Tennessee
There is no bigger need for the Giants than LB.
