1.
Indianapolis Colts
Indianapolis Colts
Andrew Luck-QB-Leland Stanford Jr. University
If you don't know who he is or why the Colts are taking him then you don't deserve to read this blog...sorry.
2. Washington Redskins
Robert Griffin III-QB- Baylor University
Same as above, but replace Colts with Redskins. I am going to go on the record and say that I think that RGIII will be a very good quarterback, like Donovan McNabb, but he won't be a hall of famer.
3. Minnesota Vikings
Matt Kalil-LT-University of Southern California
This dude is a stud. He was so good as a junior that Tyron Smith played RT when they played in college together. I think that Smith may end up being the better player but Kalil is still a stud. The Vikings have been blowing a lot of smoke on who they will take, but the smart money is on Kalil.
4. Cleveland Browns
Trent Richardson-RB-University of Alabama
Richardson was a much better player than Ingram in college and he pushed Ingram for playing time when he won the Heisman. Holmgren took a back out of Alabama when he was the Head Coach/GM of the Seahawks named Sean Alexander and that worked out pretty well. I see the Browns taking the safe pick and the best player available.
5. Tampa Bay Buccaneers
Morris Clairborne-CB- Louisiana State University
Schiano is pissed that he can't get the "bell cow" back that he wanted so he goes with the BPA (best player available) and takes Clairborne. They really need to upgrade their secondary because Aqib Talib is probably going to jail (seriously) and Ronde Barber is a 1000 years old.
6. St. Louis Rams
Justin Blackmon- WR- Oklahoma State University
The Rams trade out of the 2 spot and they get the player that they probably would have picked had they kept it. Blackmon was incredibly productive in college but he lacks the measurables and speed to make me think he will be Larry Fitzgerald good. I see him as a Braylon Edwards type.
7. Jacksonville Jaguars
Melvin Ingram- RDE- University of South Carolina
The Jags would love to trade out of this pick but I'm assuming they keep it. I think that Ingram will be a solid player and the Jags could use a pass rusher on the opposite side of Mincey. He will be a decent player but I doubt he will be a consistent 10+ sack guy unless he plays in a 3-4 where his shorts arms won't hold him back.
8. Miami Dolphins
Ryan Tannehill-QB- Texas Agriculture & Mining
Ross is an owner that is desperate to turn the phins into a winner, so I think that Miami will reach for Tannehill. He could be a stud but he will need to sit for a year or two and learn the NFL game or he could end up like Blaine Gabbert.
9. Carolina Panthers
Riley Rieff- LT- University of Iowa
The Panthers really need help at defensive tackle but I don't see anyone worth the 9th overall pick at that position. Jordan Gross is getting older and Jeff Otah can't seem to stay healthy. Rieff could start out at guard or RT and move over to LT when Gross starts slowing down.
10. Buffalo Bills
Mark Barron- SS- University of Alabama
The word is out that the Bills are after Barron and he would be available at the 10th overall pick. He didn't work out much during the off season because of an injury but there is enough tape available to make teams comfortable enough to roll the dice on him. The combo of Barron and Byrd could be a formidable force.

11. Kansas City Chiefs
David DeCastro- G- Leland Stanford Jr. University
DeCastro is the best guard prospect since Hutchinson came out of Michigan, my alma matter. DeCastro would be able to step in and start and solidify an incredibly talented young offensive line. The Chiefs are a healthy quarterback away from winning the AFC West.
12. Seattle Seahawks
Fletcher Cox- DT - Mississippi State University
Cox is probably the best pass rushing defensive tackle in the draft and he would be a great fit next to Red Bryant. The Seahawks could compete this year if their team stays healthy (Sidney Rice, Russel Okung, and others).
13. Arizona Cardinals
Courtney Upshaw- ROLB- University of Alabama
Upshaw is a great player who reminds me of Demarcus Ware. He plays with great hustle and looks like he would be a great 3-4 outside linebacker. The Cardinals defense is in shambles and this pass rusher could help the Cards be respectable next year.
14. Dallas Cowboys
Dontari Poe- NT- University of Memphis
Poe is as big, strong, and fast...but that's it. The only problem is that he wasn't very productive in college playing in the weak Conference USA. Jerry Jones loves elite athletes and Poe fits the bill. I think he will probably be a bust but he may work out if Rob Ryan can motivate him.

15. Philadelphia Eagles
Michael Brockers- 4T- Louisiana State University
So much for the dream team hahahaha. I can't help but love watching the most overhyped team of all time fall apart. Its like watching the Heat lose to the Mavericks but it lasts for months. Brockers is a great run stuffer and the Eagles could use somebody on their defensive line that can do something other than rush the passer.
16.New York Jets
Michael Floyd- WR- Notre Dame University
Lets see how quickly it takes Floyd to beat Braylon Edwards records for most DUI's in a career? Floyd has all of the talent in the world and he could end up being the best player in this draft but he doesn't seem to be able to stay out of trouble. The Jets love controversial WRs.17. Cincinnati Bengals
Luke Kuechly- MLB- Boston College
Rey Maluaga has been a disappointing MLB but he has played well on the strong side. Kuechly is a great value pick at 17 because he is a top 10 talent. He can step in right away a become a leader of the Bengals defense.

18. San Diego Chargers
Cordy Glenn- G/RT - University of Georgia
Glenn is a mountain of a man who could fit in at RT or LG, both of which are areas of need for the Chargers. AJ Smith really needs to hit on this pick or he could be out of a job. I'm not sure what happened to him. Smith was a genius before he hired Norv Turner and ever since then he has gone down hill in terms of the draft.
19. Chicago Bears
Whitney Mercilus- University of Illinois
Outside of Julius Peppers, the Bears don't really have a true pass rush threat. Even though Mercilus was a one year wonder, he was by far the most productive pass rusher in college football last year. He has the size, speed, and strength combo to dominate the NFL.
20. Tennessee Titans
Quentin Coples- RDE- University of North Carolina
The Titans have had trouble obtaining an elite pass rusher since Jevon Kearse left way back in the day. Coples is by far the most talented defensive lineman in the draft, but he also the most lazy. He takes way to many plays off and seems to lack the competitive drive necessary to make it in the NFL. If he puts it all together he will be as good as fellow Tarheel Julius Peppers. .
21. Cincinnati Bengals
Chandler Jones- RDE/PRS- University of Syracuse
Jones has been flying up the draft boards recently and the Bengals could use another pass rusher. Jones has a great size and speed combo, but he doesn't play with great burst. He is still a solid player who can step in and help the Bengals right away on passing downs.
22. Cleveland Browns
Kendall Wright- Slot WR- Baylor University
The Browns have a lot of holes to fill WR is one of the them. Wright is the most explosive WR in this draft but his lack of height and soft body is troubling. I think that he can become a Wes Welker kind of player if the Browns can put in a position to succeed and build around him.
23. Detroit Lions
Peter Konz- C- University of Wisconsin
The Lions finally made the playoffs...holy shit. It is weird to say/write. Dominic Railoa is not very good and the Lions really need to protect Stafford because he is somewhat injury prone. Konz is the best player on the best offensive line that I have ever seen play in college. He will be a stud.
24. Pittsburgh Steelers
Dont'a Hightower- MLB- University of Alabama
The Steelers cut James Farrior and they could use a talented linebacker to help fill the void. Hightower is a beast against the run and he fits the MO of Steelers linebacker. He is not athletic enough to cover TE in space, but he won't have to playing in a 3-4 alignment next to Timmons.
25. Denver Broncos
Dre Kirkpatrick- CB- University of Alabama
Kirkpatrick slips because he was stupid enough to get caught with marijuana before the draft...sucks for him. The Broncos end up getting a really talented player who can step in right away and start opposite Champ Baily. Kirkpatrick can tackle and he has great instincts.
26. Houston Texans
Stephen Hill- WR - Georgia Tech University
Hill is a freak athlete who reminds me of Demariyus Thomas. He may need some time to develop and isn't likely to step in right away and contribute but he can become a good player is coached properly. The Texans have no one who can get open opposite of Andre Johnson.
27. New England Patriots
Shea McClellin- ROLB - Boise State University
McClellin has been flying up teams draft boards in the last couple of weeks. The Patriots secondary is terrible, but that is partially due to the fact that their defense has a weak pass rush. McClellin has a Belichick feel to me and I think that he will fit well in their system.
28. Green Bay Packers
Harrison Smith- FS - Notre Dame
I know this is a reach but the Packers really need to upgrade this position since they released Nick Collins. The Packers have a weak secondar and Smith is a smart over achiever who can learn the Pack's complicated system quickly. He may be too athletically limited though.
29. Baltimore Ravens
Amini Silatolu- G - Midwestern State University
The loss of Ben Grubbs to the New Orleans Saints really hurts the Ravens offensive line. Lucky for them, there is a great guard available who can step in help. Silatolu reminds me of Iutapi of the San Francisco 49ers.
30. San Francisco 49ers
Coby Fleener- TE - Leland Stanford Junior University
Fleener may not be able to block very well but that doesn't seem to matter much in the NFL these days. He is a great athlete in the mold of Greg Olsen. I think that he will fit well in Harbaugh's two TE offense. The 49ers will be able to destroy linebackers in coverage if they can pair Fleener with Vernon Davis.
31. New England Patriots
Kendall Reyes- 5T- University of Connecticut
Chances are the Patriots will probably trade this pick to a team for a 2013 first round draft pick and a third round draft pick this year. If they keep the pick I think that they will take Reyes to help bolster their defense. He has the size, speed, and strength to play in their hybrid 3-4/4-3 defensive scheme.
32. New York Giants
Jerel Worthy- 3T- Michigan State University
The New York Giants love drafting pass rushers and that is a big reason why they won the Super Bowl this year. This team is a little bit weak at defensive tackle and Worthy is the best player available at the DT position.
Whitney Mercilus- University of Illinois
