1 St. Louis - Sam Bradford QB Oklahoma
Who is going to come and watch a team with A.J. Feeley and Keith Null as the quarterbacks?
2 Detroit - Ndamukong Suh DT Nebraska
Trading for Sims means Backus stays at LT and Schwartz gets to develop the defense like he wants to.
3 Tampa Bay - Gerald McCoy DT Oklahoma
I really want to put Okung here, but DT is more pressing need and Penn is at least serviceable.
4 Washington - Russell Okung OT Oklahoma State
They may as well go ahead and have at least one tackle on the roster.
5 Kansas City - Eric Berry FS Tennessee
About the only guy that makes any sense right here.
6 Seattle Trent Williams OT Oklahoma
They have not drafted anyone to play tackle since 2005 (Ray Willis - who?) and their mini-camp showed that it is imperative they fix the problem.
7 Cleveland - Jimmy Clausen QB Notre Dame
Who would have thought their QB position could get WORSE in the offseason?
8 Oakland - Kyle Wilson CB Boise State
Wilson's shooting up the board, they seem intent on trading Namdi Asomugha, and I swear I thought this was a possibility before I saw Gosselin had this in his 2nd mock posted yesterday.
9 Buffalo - Bryan Bulaga OT Iowa
Not quite the prospect many believe, but certainly an upgrade from what they have.
10 Jacksonville - C.J. Spiller RB Clemson
The rumors are there and I don't like it, but with JDR in the hot seat they do need to take a player that can contribute big and right away.
11 Denver (from Chicago) - Dan Williams DT Tennessee
Even after shoring up the front three in free agency, they need to infuse some youth at the position.
12 Miami - Derrick Morgan DE Georgia Tech
If he's there, he's the guy otherwise I think it's Graham.
13 San Francisco Brandon Graham OLB Michigan
They can wait on taking a right tackle, and with the right pass rush could have one of the league's up and coming defenses.
14 Seattle (from Denver) - Ryan Mathews RB Fresno State
After rushing for only 7 TDs last year it's obvious that Jones and Forsett aren't the answer.
15 New York Giants - Rolando McClain ILB Alabama
What a gift this would be for the Giants.
16 Tennessee - Joe Haden CB Florida
They had the league's worst pass defense last year.
17 San Francisco (from Carolina) - Earl Thomas CB Texas
They have to like either Thomas or Taylor Mays here.
18 Pittsburgh - Kareem Jackson CB Alabama
Jackson or McCourty. I thought about Odrick and Iupati.
19 Atlanta - Sean Weatherspoon OLB Missouri
Too much chatter to ignore and current starter Mike Peterson is 34 years old.
20 Houston - Devin McCourty CB Rutgers
If Mathews and the other top DBs are gone, they might have to "settle" for McCourty. Iupati or Pouncey wouldn't surprise me though.
21 Cincinnati - Mike Iupati OG Idaho
They need to do more to prevent the death of Carson Palmer.
22 New England - Jared Odrick DT Penn State
Trading Seymour was a mistake and the suddenly mediocre Pats need to hit on their draft this year rather than taking fliers.
23 Green Bay - Sergio Kindle OLB Texas
Has played both DE and LB which should make playing in the 3-4 easier.
24 Philadelphia - Taylor Mays FS Southern California
We all know his limitations but his strengths would bring a lot to a soft defense.
25 Baltimore - Brian Price DT UCLA
If the top DBs are off the board, d-line is nearly a given IMO.
26 Arizona - Terrence Cody DT Alabama
He should hold up well in the heat of Arizona.
27 Dallas - Dez Bryant WR Oklahoma State
Where there's smoke, there's fire here. Wouldn't shock me to see them "reach" for Nate Allen. Obviously tackle is a possibility too.
28 San Diego - Golden Tate WR Notre Dame
Jackson may yet be suspended, beyond Floyd there's not much depth, and picking higher in the 2nd defers the necessity of filling of other needs (I really like Tyson Alualu and Toby Gerhart here as well).
29 New York Jets - Jerry Hughes OLB TCU
Flirting with Jason Taylor tips their hand a bit.
30 Minnesota - Maurkice Pouncey C Florida
John Sullivan was pushed into the backfield far too often last year.
31 Indianapolis - Rodger Saffold OT Indiana
He's not the greatest prospect, but is a four year starter and could come in and play right away - which the Colts need.
32 New Orleans - Daryl Washington OLB TCU
A more than adequate replacement for the departed Fujita.
My top 8 Players on the radar that could easily go in the 1st and why they didn't here:
Anthony Davis OT Rutgers - Just not consistent enough. Scouting reports are replete with stories of laziness despite world class talent.
Jermaine Gresham TE Oklahoma - He's a one-dimensional tight end coming off a season lost to injury.
Demaryius Thomas WR Georgia Tech - It's just a shame that he played in an offense that paid homage to the leather helmet days each and every week.
Tyson Alualu DE California - At the end of the day, I expect him to go in the 1st. Otherwise he's a steal at the top of the 2nd.
Nate Allen FS South Florida - Could very easily take Mays' place in the 1st.
Colt McCoy QB Texas - People are too infatuated with rocket arms. He's talented enough and is a four year starter at a major program which counts for a ton in my book (see: Philip Rivers).
Toby Gerhart RB Stanford - It's not that he's white, it's that he's just not THAT athletic to warrant a 1st round pick. But he should go high 2nd. It wouldn't surprise me at all to see the Chargers take him in the 1st if things were to play out this way.
Ricky Sapp OLB Clemson - One of the 3-4 teams at the bottom of the 1st (like the Jets or Cardinals) could take him.
6 players that will screw up all mock drafts:
1. Eric Berry
2. Jimmy Clausen
3. Anthony Davis
4. Bruce Campbell
5. Everson Griffen

Hughes is definitely a possibility and when I do these mocks, I'm focused more on getting the position right (snicker) than reflecting some sort of ranking within the position.All those other guys are definite possibilities too. When it gets to the Packers, it'll be whoever TT thinks is the BPA. The good thing for the Pack is that the draft is deep for each of their needs.
