 |
1.01 |
Sam Bradford |
QB |
Oklahoma |
He's a franchise caliber QB and those
don't just fall off trees. Rams start the rebuild with Mr. Bradford.
He's smart, he wins...can he stay healthy? |
|
 |
1.02 |
Ndamukong Suh |
DT |
Nebraska |
Suh is just plain dominant. He will be
the anchor of this D for years. He single-handedly prison-raped the
Texas O-line last year. |
|
 |
1.03 |
Gerald McCoy |
DT |
Oklahoma |
Quick and relentless, yet another DT
to anchor the middle of a D...Visions of Warren Sapp dance through the
Bucs heads with this pick. |
|
 |
1.04 |
Jimmy Clausen |
QB |
Notre Dame |
Shanahan needs his QB to develop and
Clausen is as pro ready as they come. Big arm, pro offense experience. |
|
 |
1.05 |
Russell Okung |
OT |
Okla. St. |
Okung will hold down the LT spot for
the Chiefs who love having monster O-lineman and are in desperate need
right now. |
|
 |
1.06 |
CJ Spiller |
RB |
Clemson |
The Hawks need a RB and Spiller is
faster than first time sex. He will give them that home run threat they
need. Future stud. |
|
 |
1.07 |
Dez Bryant |
WR |
Okla. St. |
THE impact WR of this class, the
Browns need a target...any target! Bryant is big, strong, fast and goes
up to get the jump ball...instant impact. |
|
 |
1.08 |
Bryan Bulaga |
OT |
Iowa |
Bulaga could be the top lineman off
the draft board...if he slides here, the Raiders can't pass. Of course
we're talking Al Davis so Riley Cooper could be the pick. DOH! |
|
 |
1.09 |
Dan Williams |
DT |
Tennessee |
Williams is a big active stud DT that
will help shore up the center of the Bills D. Their D is shifting to a
3-4 and they need that anchor. |
|
 |
1.10 |
Eric Berry |
S |
Tennessee |
Berry has "it". Wherever the ball is,
so is Berry. He's not big but brings the lumber to hit. Great run
support and a playmaker. |
|
 |
1.11 |
Rolando McClain |
LB |
Alabama |
Crohn's disease causes some worry for
teams but it hasn't hurt McClain in the college game. Very cerebral play
who just makes plays. Broncos lock down their middle. |
|
 |
1.12 |
Sergio Kindle |
OLB |
Texas |
Freakish edge rusher who will give
Parcells that pass rush he so desires. Kindle can stand up and play OLB
or hit DE. He's a Parcells guy. |
|
 |
1.13 |
Trent Williams |
OT |
Oklahoma |
Niners continue to build that offense
with a rock OT. Williams can play either tackle providing the
athleticism and versatility to make him the pick here. |
|
|
|
1.14 |
Demaryius Thomas |
WR |
GA Tech |
DT is going to be the chart riser of
this draft. He's got speed and size to burn. He makes big plays and the
Hawks need another playmaker. If they get Spiller and DT their offense
gets and instant injection. |
|
 |
1.15 |
Jason Pierre-Paul |
DE |
USF |
Osi Umenyiora keeps threatening
retirement and the G-men just reload with yet another amazing athlete at
DE. JPP fits the Giant mold of edge rushers. |
|
 |
1.16 |
Derrick Morgan |
DE |
GA Tech |
Morgan is the safe DE pick in the
draft. Plays the run equally as well as he rushes the passer. Rock solid
prospect that the Titans haven't had at DE in a long time. |
|
|
|
1.17 |
Taylor Mays |
S |
USC |
Niners grab the USC stud to
quarterback the defense. Mays is an athletic freak with LB size and CB
speed. He knocks people's heads off and Singletary just loves that. |
|
 |
1.18 |
Joe Haden |
CB |
Florida |
Steelers are thrilled that a lockdown
CB like Haden slides this far. He's got the speed to cover anyone. |
|
 |
1.19 |
Sean Weatherspoon |
ILB |
Missouri |
Underrated LB who goes sideline to
sideline making plays. The Falcons lock up their run stuffer for the
next 5 years with this pick. |
|
 |
1.20 |
Kyle Wilson |
CB |
Boise St. |
Another stud lockdown CB falls into
the Texans lap. If the Steelers don't get Haden, they'll scoop Wilson
and the whole mock changes. |
|
 |
1.21 |
Jermaine Gresham |
TE |
Oklahoma |
There are a lot of ?'s around Gresham
but the Bengals can't resist giving Carson Palmer an Antonio Gates type
player. |
|
 |
1.22 |
Brandon Graham |
LB/DE |
Michigan |
He's a PERFECT PATRIOT. He has a
non-stop motor, high character "team player". He is a great pass rusher
and can stand up and play OLB. |
|
 |
1.23 |
Charles Brown |
OT |
USC |
The Pack continue to try and shore up
that OL to keep Aaron Rodgers from getting beat like he spilled Kool-Aid
on mom's carpet. |
|
 |
1.24 |
Everson Griffin |
DE |
USC |
Eagles just love quick athletic DE in
the Trent Cole mold. Griffin stops the run and gets in the backfield,
perfect fit here. |
|
 |
1.25 |
Patrick Robinson |
CB |
Florida St. |
Ravens love the speed and athleticism
of Robinson. Their D is aging so it's time to get some young talent
developing. |
|
 |
1.26 |
Jared Odrick |
DT/DE |
Penn St. |
Odrick sliding here would be a gift
the Cards couldn't resist. He'll help the inside of their D with his run
stuffing and can help with the pass rush. |
|
 |
1.27 |
Mike Iupati |
G |
Idaho |
The best OG in the draft slides down
to Cowboy town. They need to boost the O-line but you just know Jerry
Jones wants to take an offensive player here. He's a fantasy football
player at heart! |
|
 |
1.28 |
Ryan Mathews |
RB |
Fresno St. |
LT goes away and the Chargers need
that big strong back...enter Mr. Mathews. He'll be a fantasy stud if he
lands here. |
|
 |
1.29 |
Golden Tate |
WR |
Notre Dame |
The Jets are dying for playmakers in
the passing game and Tate is just that. He's super quick and has a knack
for making the big play. Instant home run guy. |
|
 |
1.30 |
Brian Price |
DT |
UCLA |
Underrated stud that really isn't far
behind Suh and McCoy in the talent department but comes at a bargain
price. Time to get someone behind the Williams Wall for when one of
those old studs retires. |
|
 |
1.31 |
Maurkice Pouncey |
OL |
Florida |
Outstanding O-line as the Colts don't
have any major needs they just keep shoring up that offense. They could
go D with the pick but Pouncey is the value play. |
|
 |
1.32 |
Carlos Dunlap |
DE |
Florida |
The Saints get that edge rusher to
take over for Charles Grant. Dunlap has off-field issues that a team
like the Saints can fix. He's a pass rushing monster. |
|
