Pick RecordTeamComment Player
1-Bradford is the franchise quarterback and will be counted on to get the Rams back to a title contender in the West. Later they need to give him some quality protection. Sam Bradford, QB - Oklahoma
2-Detroit has made some good off season moves. Suh is brought in to replace Grady Jackson and make an immediate impact. Hill and Suh should really keep blockers off the linebackers. Ndamukong Suh, DT - Nebraska
3-The Bucs luck out by getting the dominant McCoy. He should be key in shutting down the run which is something they could not do last season. Gerald McCoy, DT - Oklahoma
4-Taking an OLT with their first pick is almost a no brainer now that they traded for McNabb. They can't afford to have McNabb take a beating. They may value Bulaga or Trent Williams more but there is no doubt a LT will be selected here. Russell Okung, OT - Oklahoma State
5-The Chiefs need an upgrade up front to open holes for the running game and to protect Cassel. Williams is athletic enough to play from day one. Trent Williams, OT - Oklahoma
6-The Seahawks need someone to anchor the OL. Bulaga can be that guy and protect whichever QB the team rolls with. They could also get the better player and take Berry here. Bryan Bulaga, OT - Iowa
7-The Browns luck out and get one of the top talents in the draft. Berry complete a very good defensive backfield. Holmgren has done a nice job of solidifying that weakness pretty quick. Eric Berry, S - Tennessee
8-The Raiders will take the last of the top OTs. This is the one unknown however. Oakland has to do something though to try and make their skilled players better. Anthony Davis, OT - Rutgers
9-With all of the top OLT's off the board the next biggest need is someone to throw the ball. They could opt to pass on Clausen and snag a run stuffer like Dan Williams. Jimmy Clausen, QB - Notre Dame
10-They just signed Hayward and Kampman at DE so they likely pass on a pass rusher. They need playmakers on the defensive side of the ball. Thomas is the "best" available. McClain could be snagged here too. Earl Thomas, S - Texas
11-For a long time I expected Dez Bryant to be selected here but it doesn't make sense. Why trade a guaranteed 100 receptions because he had baggage for another potential problem child. And this one doesn't guarantee 100 receptions. So they go with McClain who is a game changing tackler. The Broncos get the next Patrick Willis. Rolando McClain, ILB - Alabama
12-Morgan will provide some youthful pass rushing legs to an aging defense. He should be able to put the same pressure on the QB that Joey Porter did from the outside. Derrick Morgan, DE - Georgia Tech
13-The Niners need some help in the defensive passing game. Haden may not have top end speed but he plays smart and knows how to cover. If for some reason Clausen drops, he could be a fit here too. Joe Haden, CB - Florida
14-Spiller is picked to take the lead back spot from Jones and Forsett. He should find plenty of holes running behind Bulaga. CJ Spiller, RB - Clemson
15-The OL could use an upgrade. Since there are no LTs around, the Giants grab the drafts top guard. Iupati could be a starter immediately. Linebacker would be another potential pick here. Mike Iupati, OG - Idaho
16-The Titans need someone to get to the QB since Vanden Bosch left town. The biggest need is at DE and not OLB. Pierre-Paul should provide an immediate pass rush. Jason Pierre-Paul, DE - South Florida
17-The Niners need another pass rusher and Graham would fit perfectly opposite Lawson. When we look back at this draft Graham may be the best pass rusher of the lot. Brandon Graham, OLB - Michigan
18-Pittsburgh needs to keep Ben on his feet (if he's still a Steeler) and needs someone to help the rushing attack get back to dominant. They could go LB here too but OL is probably the biggest weakness at this point. Maurkice Pouncey, C - Florida
19-The Falcons need a pass rusher and Kindle can fill that void. He can line up at DE in the 4-3 or LB. Sergio Kindle, OLB - Texas
20-Houston needs playmakers in the defensive backfield especially since Duanta Robinson is gone. Jackson edges out Kyle Wilson for this pick.Kareem Jackson, CB - Alabama
21-Bryant is the player that drops the most in this draft. The Bengals however will take a chance on him hoping that he brings the passing game back from mediocrity. Dez Bryant, WR - Oklahoma State
22-The Patriots need some speed, youth and versatility on the defensive side of the ball. Hughes can do a little bit of everything and is a perfect fit for their defense. Jerry Hughes, OLB - TCU
23-Weatherspoon is a tackling machine. He is fast and has good instincts. The final piece to the leagues most productive linebacking foursome. Sean Weatherspoon, OLB - Missouri
24-After the Sims trade and Brown trade, corner is the defenses biggest need. Wilson is the best corner on the board. Kyle Wilson, CB - Boise State
25-Flacco gets the top pass catcher in the draft at the TE position. He should eventually replace Heap and provide a nice target in the red zone. Now start building back the defense. Jermaine Gresham, TE - Oklahoma
26-Mays can replace Rolle in the lineup and gives the Cardinals another big hitter to team with Adrian Wilson. They may even try to convert him to LB. Taylor Mays, S - USC
27-The Cowboys OL is getting old, slowing down and thin in depth. Campbell should immediately help on one of the two sides. Bruce Campbell, OT - Maryland
28-Sproles can't carry the load and the Chargers need a lead back. Matthews is a logical selection. Ryan Matthews, RB - Fresno State
29-Williams slips to the Jets who get a quality pick here. Williams can provide depth early in his career before he takes over for one of the aging tackles. Dan Williams, DT - Tennessee
30-With no corner worthy of this pick the Vikings go after the Williams' replacement. Cody is a mountain of a man and should see a lot of snaps this season.Terrance Cody, DT - Alabama
31-Odrick will add some quality bulk and strength up front for the Colts. They need someone with some bulk to slow down the running game. Jared Odrick, DT - Penn State
32-Griffen should be able to line up in a variety of positions and cause havoc. Another possibility is LB Brandon Spikes. Everson Griffen, DE - USC
