Round 1
1
  Chiefs  
Luke JoeckelOT Texas A&M
Reid has a history of drafting QBs later on, plus with the Alex Smith acquisition I can't see them taking Geno Smith here.
2
  Jaguars  
Dion JordanDE Oregon
New coach Gus Bradley will be looking for playmakers that fit his defense. I think the Jaguars aren't ready to invest a high pick at QB or give up completely on Gabbert just yet.
3
  Raiders  
Sharrif FloydDT Florida
Probably could play inside or out. Another defensive minded coach looking to tool up the D.
4
  Eagles  
Geno SmithQB West Virginia
New regimes usually mean new quarterbacks, if the Eagles to go with Geno here I could see them going after E.J. Manuel later on.
5
  Lions  
Eric FisherOT Central Michigan
Toss up between Fisher and Milliner, I think priority #1 has to be to keep Matt Stafford healthy.
6
  Browns  
Dee MillinerDC Alabama
Between Milliner and Sheldon Richardson for me here, I think when facing the Steelers and Ravens twice a year (even without Boldin) that you'd want two lock down corners to throw out there on islands.
7
  Cardinals  
Lane JohnsonOT Oklahoma
The run on big men continues as the Cardinals finally address their woeful O-line.
8
  Bills  
Cordarrelle PattersonWR Tennessee
The Bills have made no secret about wanting a QB, however, I think they like Manuel and Nassib the most, pick 8 may be to early so I have them taking Patterson. The Bills lost both Donald Jones and David Neslon this year and Patterson would be a great compliment to Stevie Johnson.
9
  Jets  
Xavier RhodesDC Florida State
I expect Revis to be traded, Rhodes would help fill the void.
10
  Titans  
Sheldon RichardsonDT Missouri
Tennessee addresses their defense which ranked in the bottom of the league last year.
11
  Chargers  
Chance WarmackOG Alabama
Losing Louis Vasquez to the Broncos, prompts the Bolts to upgrade the position.
12
  Dolphins  
Ezekiel AnsahDE BYU
A pass rusher is one of the few things Miami didn't splurge on in the offseason.
13
  Jets   F/TB
EJ ManuelQB Florida State
This is either the Jets pick or time running out on Josh Freeman.
14
  Panthers  
Star LotuleleiDT Utah
Could be a dominant inside force for defensive minded coach.
15
  Saints  
Barkevious MingoOB LSU
May be a natural fit in Rob Ryan's 3-4.
16
  Rams  
Tavon AustinWR West Virginia
Bradford needs weapons, the Rams lost both Brandon Gibson and Danny Amendola. Wouldn't be surprised if they went with RB Eddie Lacy here but I think WR is the greater need.
17
  Steelers  
Jarvis JonesOB Georgia
Look for Jones to fill the void left by the departure of James Harrison.
18
  Cowboys  
Kenny VaccaroFS Texas
May be a good center fielder in Monte Kiffin's 4-3.
19
  Giants  
Bjoern WernerDE Florida State
Giants continue to stack the d, may be looking for some pass rush help with Osi's departure.
20
  Bears  
Alec OgletreeIB Georgia
Out goes Urlacher, in goes Ogletree.
21
  Bengals  
DJ FlukerOT Alabama
Just when you thought the run on tackles was over, in comes Fluker. He'll replace Andre Smith, who I believe the Bengals will be too cheap to re-sign.
22
  Rams   F/WAS
Eddie LacyRB Alabama
Out with Stephen Jackson, in with Eddie Lacy.
23
  Vikings  
Sylvester WilliamsDT North Carolina
Minnesota continues the run of big men and bolsters their interior.
24
  Colts  
Datone JonesDE UCLA
Jones may be a better fit than the aging Dwight Freeney for what Pagano wants to do on D.
25
  Vikings   F/SEA
Keenan AllenWR California
Vikings finally start addressing the loses of Sidney Rice and Percy Harvin.
26
  Packers  
Desmond TrufantDC Washington
Out goes Woodson in goes Trufant, Desmond has the lineage as his older brother Marcus was a quality DB in the league for many years.
27
  Texans  
Matt BarkleyQB Southern Cal
Schaub always gets hurt and never lives up in the post-season. Barkley has the intangibles and great numbers in college. If you flip his junior year with his senior year at USC we're talking top 3 pick this year for him. I wouldn't be surprised if he went earlier with maybe someone trading backup to use the additional 1st round picks that the Vikings and Rams hold.
28
  Broncos  
Cornellius CarradineDE Florida State
Denver needs some help on the outside after losing Dumervil.
29
  Patriots  
Jamar TaylorDC Boise State
Almost went WR here but if they land Emmanuel Sanders I think WR is out of the picture this early.
30
  Falcons  
Tyler EifertTE Notre Dame
Even with Tony Gonzalez returning I think the Falcons will pull the trigger on his replacement here.
31
  49ers  
Eric ReidFS LSU
Looking for longer term replacement for Goldson.
32
  Ravens  
DeAndre HopkinsWR Clemson
Almost went Teo here but I think Ozzie Newsome is smarter than that. With the addition of Rolando McClain I think WR may be the bigger need.
