STL Rams - Sam Bradford
As a Rams fan I wish they would take Suh but at the end of the day I think Bradford will be the pick as long as he medically cleared. I would like to see the Rams make a move with TB to move back to #3 and pick up a extra #2 or #3 or a nice player and still land Bradford (also save some $$$)
Detroit - Ndamukong Suh
The best player in the draft. Schwart gets his anchor for his defense. Detroit is puttin some pieces together to build a good team. Being able to put Suh, Vondenboesch and Corey Williams together on that line will definetly improve their defense.
TB - Gerald McCoy
I think TB wants Suh but will settle for McCoy. I think these first three picks are locks
Washington - Russell Okung
This is where the draft gets interesting. With the retiring of Samuels I think they need help rebuilding that oline. Okung is a nice prospect with good size and good feet. I know everyone things Shanny is going to go with his QB here but I think Campbell is better than some think.
KC Chiefs - Eric Berry
KC needs a play maker on defense and Berry will provide that. Berry is going to improve that defense day 1. KC is a team on the rise IMO as long as Cassell can make plays which I 'm not 100% sold on yet.
Seattle - Jimmy Claussen
Everyone knows that Pete Carroll was in love with Claussen coming into college and was crushed when he signed with ND. He gets his chance to get his guy this time around. Hasselbeck is done and the Seahawks have to look into the future with this pick. Claussen might get to sit for a year and learn the ropes but if he has to play he should be ready to contribute.
Cleveland - Joe Haden
Despite his bad combine Haden is still the #1 cb on the board. Cle. has a need for playmakers on d and I think Haden will be starting day 1.
Oakland - Bruce Campbell
Workout warrior who looks like a future HOF'er when he gets of the bus......perfect fit for the Raiders. He does fill a need for the Raiders at the LT position. I think he has alot of upside but he also has a huge risk tag on him.
Buffalo - Brian Bugala
Some think A. Davis will be the pick here but I think Bugala is a more sure thing for Buffalo. Despite needing a QB in the worst way Buff is a lock to take a LT with their first pick.
Jax - Jason Pierre-Paul
Jacksonville needs to get a guy who can sack the QB. As good as their D can be they have no one on the roster that can get pressure. Some people might think that getting a past Florida player like Dunlap would be a better PR move but Pierre-Paul offers much more talent and doesn't have some of the baggage that Dunlap brings.
Denver - Dan Williams
Got to clog up that middle. Denver's D has been awful over the last 2 years. Wiliams brings the beef the need
Miami - Roland McClain
If he is here he is the pick. Kid is an animal and brings youth to the LB position. I think Dez Bryant could be a thought here but his character issues wouldn't fit with the coaching staff in Miami.
SF - Taylor Mays
Physical speciman who made himself some nice coin at the combine. The SF coaching staff loves the intensity he can bring to that defense. While he might not be great in coverage you can't teach what he has in pure talent.
Seattle - Anthony Davis
As much as I think they would consider CJ SPiller here they need to protect their earlier investment of Claussen and they need to get a LT here. Davis is a solid pick here and will start day 1. Very good draft so far for Seattle.
NYG - Brian Price (assuming they sign A. Rolle in FA)
NYG like beef on their line. I like this pick to keep winning in the trenches. If the NYG don't get Rolle I think E. Thomas would be the pick but I feel very comfortable in thinking Rolle wil be a Giant.
Tennessee Titans - Derrick Morgan
They could look LB here or perhaps somewhere in the secondary but I think Morgan is a very good value pick and addresses a need. Tenn has a nice young defense and Morgan should fit in nicely
SF - CJ Spiller
This is a pick I see alot and I question if it could happen and when I think about I think it would really put this offense together nicely. Spiller can return kicks and punts, he is an excellent pass catcher and would be a great fill in for Frank Gore. If Spiller makes it to this pick he will be a 49'er.
Pittsburgh - Mike Iupati
Pitt needs help on the Oline and Iupati brings flexability. He should be a starter day one and help that Pitt running game for the future.
ATL - Carlos Dunlap
Jamal Anderson is a bust. Time to realize that and move on. Dunlap has some question marks about his character but he also has top 10 talent.
Houton Texans - Earl Thomas
As they run up to make this selection they fill a huge need in the secondary. This completes their defense and makes them a serious contender int eh AAFC South. They will look to get the rb in round 2
Cinncinati - Golden Tate
Maybe a surprise that Tate is the first wr off the board but he fits what the Bengals need more than Bryant. The Bengals let Coles go so right now their wr #2 isn't looking that strong. Tate would fill in the void nicely.
NE - Brandon Graham
Knowing the Pats they would probably trade down here but if they stay pat they could use some speed on the outside.
GB Packers - Sergio Kindle
The Packers need someone else except for Clay Matthews to get some pressure. Kindle would fit in that new 3-4 nicely
Philly - Patrick Robinson
Philly has the advantage to take a nice young player to groom instead of an immediate need due to their great depth. When you look at this team they are very deep at all positions. Robinson could start as a nickel corner and grow into a nice starter.
Balt - Dez Bryant
WOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Balt gets a gift. Bryant is just what they needed and Balt feels they have a mature enough clubhouse to eliminate any worries about off the field issues with Bryant. This would really be a great pick for Balt.
Arizona Cardinals - Brandon Spikes
With Dansby being a possible cap casulity this offseason Spikes woulod be a nice option to help build this young defense. Arizona is actually looking really nice for the future with alot of young talent.
Dallas - Kyle Wilson
I know alot of Dallas fans would like to see an OLINE selection here but I think you might see Newman on his last leg in Dallas. He is definetly not the shutdown corner he was suppose to be a couple of years ago. Wilson is a nice additon to a very good defense.
SD Chargers - Ryan Matthews
Darren Sproles isn't the answer in the backfield for long term. Matthews IMO is the best rb in this class and will give SD what they have been missing the last couple of years with a wore out LT. Matthews will be a beast between the tackles.
NYJ - Demaryius Thomas
I know this might surprise some people but with this kids size he is going in the first round. The broken foot might scare some people but he is an absolute monster. They need to get their future qb some weapons. I don't see Edwards being the long term answer at wideout but a nice fill in gap until Thomas is ready.
Minnesota Vikings - Ricky Sapp
LB is the biggest need for the Vikings but they cold use some depth. Sapp is very versatile and would build depth for an already deep Defense.
Indy - Sean Witherspoon
Alot of lb's going late in the first and Witherspoon would be a great fit for a Caldwell defense. Very disciplined and very talented. He can rush, stop the rn and get deep. A very good fit.
New Orleans - Charles Brown
You can never have too many olinemen. This is a depth pick in case needed on a rainy day.

I know you were just typing fast but figured you'd appreciate the tip-off 
I have a funny feeling the Bengals might go Tate as well, but Bryant falling that far would still be a pretty big surprise. If there's that many WRs available at their spot, I could see the Bengals trading down a little bit. I'm hoping we go all Al Davis and pick a speedy field-stretcher type.-QG

i can almost gurantee that one of those firsts results in an OL, whether it be the 13, the 17 or in a trade.BAM
Also, there is an excellent chance that Best will be on the board at 2.17 and IMO, he is in the same class as Spiller. I would be a big fan of taking Best at that point. If he's gone, no big. They can address the RB situation next year or later in this draft. They need to fix the OL and secondary. Do that and they have a team that can go deep into the playoffs if Smith plays solid QB...............
That honor goes to the Royal Gorge Bridge in Canon City, Colorado, at over 1000 ft above the Arkansas River.
