I would think long and hard about passing on Missouri QB <a href="http://insider.espn.go.com/nfl/draft/player/_/id/27028/blaine-gabbert">Blaine Gabbert</a> with this pick, but general manager Marty Hurney drafted <a href="http://sports.espn.go.com/nfl/players/profile?playerId=13198">Jimmy Clausen</a> last year and signed <a href="http://sports.espn.go.com/nfl/players/profile?playerId=11128">Matt Moore</a> in 2007 so there might not be as much support in Carolina for drafting a quarterback as there's rumored to be. Dareus, CB <a href="http://insider.espn.go.com/nfl/draft/player/_/id/27010/patrick-peterson">Patrick Peterson</a> and OLB <a href="http://insider.espn.go.com/nfl/draft/player/_/id/27009/von-miller">Von Miller</a> are the cleanest of the elite prospects in the 2011 class and defensive tackle is Carolina's top need so Dareus appears to be the most logical choice with his size, quickness and versatility.

<div class="team-description"><p>
The Broncos are transitioning to a four-man front under new head coach John Fox and defensive coordinator Dennis Allen, and upgrading the defensive front seven tops their priority list. Dareus should be the pick if he's available but he's not in this scenario. So, if it comes down to a choice between Peterson and Miller, I would choose the pass rusher (a greater need for Denver) with an identical grade. Miller can provide an immediate upgrade at SLB and he also would team up with a healthy <a href="http://sports.espn.go.com/nfl/players/profile?playerId=9712">Elvis Dumervil</a> to help resurrect a pass rush that had a league-low 23 sacks in 2010.

<div class="team-description"><p>
The Bills' biggest need is at offensive tackle, where they have not drafted a player earlier than the fifth round since taking <a href="http://sports.espn.go.com/nfl/players/profile?playerId=3532">Mike Williams</a> in the first in 2002, but there isn't a tackle prospect in this class worth the No. 3 pick. There are also needs along the defensive front seven but it will be tough to pass up the opportunity to significantly upgrade the quarterback position. Gabbert has a higher ceiling than current Bills QB <a href="http://sports.espn.go.com/nfl/players/profile?playerId=8664">Ryan Fitzpatrick</a>, and with his football intelligence, accuracy, size, arm strength and mobility Gabbert has all the tools to become a very good starter in the NFL. There is a lot of talk about Buffalo taking Auburn QB <a href="http://insider.espn.go.com/nfl/draft/player/_/id/27308/cam-newton">Cam Newton</a> here, but I believe strongly that Gabbert is not only the safer choice but the better quarterback.

<div class="team-description"><p>
Using a top-10 pick on a wide receiver isn't always a wise move but Green is a special player. Lots of wideouts are big and fast, but Green's route-running savvy, toughness, body control and ball skills separate him from most other receivers. The Bengals could also deal with the reality of the <a href="http://sports.espn.go.com/nfl/players/profile?playerId=4459">Carson Palmer</a> situation and draft Newton in this scenario or upgrade at defensive tackle, but with <a href="http://sports.espn.go.com/nfl/players/profile?playerId=1056">Terrell Owens</a> gone and <a href="http://sports.espn.go.com/nfl/players/profile?playerId=2584">Chad Ochocinco</a> likely on his way out, Green becomes the best value here.

Gabbert would be the better choice if he's available. Miller would also be a consideration as a perfect fit at OLB in the Cardinals' 3-4 scheme. But Cardinals coach Ken Whisenhunt witnessed first hand the impact <a href="http://sports.espn.go.com/nfl/players/profile?playerId=5536">Ben Roethlisberger</a> made in Pittsburgh and he knows what a quarterback of with Newton's size and mobility can do for an offense. If Arizona pulls the trigger on Newton expect its offense to be modeled after the system the Steelers have put in place for Big Ben.

New defensive coordinator Dick Jauron is leading the transition to a 4-3 scheme and needs to find the proper personnel along the front seven, and finding a traditional 4-3 end is a top priority this offseason. Bowers is an ideal fit, with the power, quickness an instincts to be an every-down end in the NFL. He might fall this far only because of lingering concerns about recent surgery to repair a torn meniscus in his knee, but if the Browns can get Bowers they will certainly be happy.

The 49ers are looking for a quarterback to fit their West Coast system and would likely pass on Newton even if he were available, and in a dream scenario they would find a way to bring in <a href="http://sports.espn.go.com/nfl/players/profile?playerId=10480">Kevin Kolb</a> from Philadelphia.

Fairley is one of the biggest boom-or-bust prospects in this year's class.

The more teams we talk to the more concern there are about how he has interviewed, and that's why he's falling in a lot of recent mock drafts. Fairley's quickness and athletic ability might be a worthwhile risk at this point, but given Tennessee's history with first-round picks like <a href="http://sports.espn.go.com/nfl/players/profile?playerId=9589">Vince Young</a> and <a href="http://sports.espn.go.com/nfl/players/profile?playerId=8421">Adam "Pacman" Jones</a>, it won't be surprising if they go with a safer pick.

Three of the Cowboys' top four defensive ends from last year -- Marcus Spears, Stephen Bowen, Jason Hatcher -- played the 2010 season on one-year deals, so Dallas could very well look at Wisconsin's <a href="http://insider.espn.go.com/nfl/draft/player/_/id/27304/jj-watt">J.J. Watt</a> here. However, it's better to be on the front end of a position wave than the back end, and this is the area where the run on the top four offensive tackles (at least four in the first round) could start. Smith has bulked up to 307 pounds after playing the college season at 285, and while he still has some developing to do he also has more upside than any other 2011 tackle prospect. He has the tools to step in at right tackle (where he played at USC) as a rookie and eventually move to the left side.

Washington has a lot of glaring needs, and while taking a quarterback here would be a reach, don't be surprised if coach Mike Shanahan and his offensive-minded staff take a playmaker who fits exactly what their offense looks for in a receiver. Jones is strong and creates after the catch, and he's also a good blocker in the running game. Yes, he's coming off surgery for a fracture in his foot, but his impressive combine performance should ease concerns about about his raw talent and the Redskins won't take him this high unless their medical team gives the okay. If Washington elects to go with defense DE/OLB <a href="http://insider.espn.go.com/nfl/draft/player/_/id/26070/robert-quinn">Robert Quinn</a> would be an intriguing fit as a pass-rusher opposite <a href="http://sports.espn.go.com/nfl/players/profile?playerId=12439">Brian Orakpo</a> in their 3-4 scheme.

I like <a href="http://insider.espn.go.com/nfl/draft/player/_/id/26076/nate-solder">Nate Solder</a>'s upside more but Catonzo should be ready to contribute right away and play on either side.

The Dolphins need to upgrade their interior offensive line but there isn't a guard or center worth drafting this high.

Ingram had a knee injury early in 2010 but recovered nicely and got stronger as the season progressed, and he is the kind of NFL-ready back who could give Miami a huge boost in the running game, even as part of a rotation. The Dolphins could then look for a quarterback and interior offensive lineman in the next two rounds.

If history is any indication the Patriots will make a move with at least one of their two first round picks, but for these purposes let's assume they stay home at Nos. 17 and 28 overall. The front seven is a clear need area and there's plenty of talent to choose from at this point. Watt has the size and skill set to be a very good fit at defensive end in Bill Belichick's version of the 3-4 defense, and putting Watt and a healthy <a href="http://sports.espn.go.com/nfl/players/profile?playerId=4471">Ty Warren</a> around NT <a href="http://sports.espn.go.com/nfl/players/profile?playerId=5546">Vince Wilfork</a> would quickly turn the defensive line from a weakness into a strength.

<div class="team-description"><p>
Saints defensive coordinator Gregg Williams likes to blitz but was forced to bring pressure more than he wanted last season because of a struggling pass rush. DE <a href="http://sports.espn.go.com/nfl/players/profile?playerId=3632">Alex Brown</a> is entering his ninth NFL season but is coming off his lowest sack and tackle totals since his rookie year, and finding pass-rush help is certainly the Saints' top priority. Clayborn is a powerful, effective pass-rusher who could fall this far because of the depth of the defensive end class and concerns about a nerve condition that could limit the range of motion in his right arm, but New Orleans would be more than happy to take him here.

<a href="http://sports.espn.go.com/nfl/players/profile?playerId=1575">Matt Hasselbeck</a> is a free agent but will be back in the fold in Seattle, but he's also 35 years old and the Seahawks need a quarterback to develop behind him because current backup <a href="http://sports.espn.go.com/nfl/players/profile?playerId=9667">Charlie Whitehurst</a> is clearly not the long-term answer. Locker would be in an ideal situation sitting behind Hasselbeck and Whitehurst in 2011, giving him time to work out his mechanics and get the practice reps he needs to become more accurate and consistent. He needs at least a full year of grooming before he is ready to face the pressure of game action.

<div class="team-description"><p>
Addressing their cornerback need with a player like Jimmy Smith is an option but Smith comes with character baggage and isn't worth the risk here. Heyward comes with some risks, too, after undergoing Tommy John surgery on his left elbow after the college season, but he's expected to make a full recovery and all you have to do is watch the tape of his Sugar Bowl performance against Arkansas to see how much potential he has. And something tells me <a href="http://sports.espn.go.com/nfl/players/profile?playerId=964">Ray Lewis</a> would take Heyward under his wing and teach him a thing or two about being a pro.

<div class="team-description"><p>
Purdue's Ryan Kerrigan is also an option here but Houston has the size (6-foot-2, 270 pounds) and pass-rush skills to be an effective right end in a 4-3 system. He would also find himself in a good situation playing behind and learning from Falcons DE <a href="http://sports.espn.go.com/nfl/players/profile?playerId=2144">John Abraham</a>, who had 13 sacks in 2010 but will turn 33 during the offseason.

<div class="team-description"><p>
After getting Watt earlier in the first round the Patriots would love to see Kerrigan still on the board at this point. He's not athletic enough to play on the outside in every 3-4 scheme but the Patriots like bigger, stronger outside linebackers who can get after the quarterback and Kerrigan has the instincts and motor to thrive in New England's system. The Patriots need to upgrade their pass rush and Kerrigan can do that.

</div>
<div class="team-description"><p>
This is a tough spot for the Bears and I struggled with who to project here. Chicago won't find a solid answer when it comes to upgrading at left offensive tackle or 3-technique on defense, and Sherrod is a bit of a reach here but he is the best available tackle and does offer the versatility to move inside to guard if needed. I can see the Bears sensing problems at No. 29 and trading up in an effort to get Pouncey, or they could offer this pick to a team targeting a specific player and looking to trade back into the end of the first round. If they're stuck, though, needs could go out the window and Chicago could simply take the top player on its board.

<div class="team-description"><p>
Taylor is a former Penn State transfer with some character baggage but he has done some maturing in the past year, and you simply don't find many 330-pounders who can move the way he does. He would make sense as a potential replacement for <a href="http://sports.espn.go.com/nfl/players/profile?playerId=2592">Kris Jenkins</a>, and getting Taylor here would be a nice fit. The Jets could also use a pass-rusher at outside linebacker, but nose tackles are just harder to find and passing on Taylor would be a very tough call.

Cornerback is a possibility here but Smith might be too much of a character risk, and <a href="http://insider.espn.go.com/nfl/draft/player/_/id/27022/aaron-williams">Aaron Williams</a> of Texas might be better at safety. There are also other options among offensive linemen but Franklin has experience playing guard and tackle, he plays with a chip on his shoulder and employs the kind of physical style the Steelers look for in their offensive linemen.

Reed was somewhat undervalued coming into the 2001 season because of an ankle injury suffered in '09, but he was fully healthy last season and showed the quick feet, violent hands and relentlessness it takes to succeed as a 3-4 outside linebacker. We've had a second-round grade on Reed since August, and because some feel he is just a notch below current Packers OLB <a href="http://sports.espn.go.com/nfl/players/profile?playerId=12438">Clay Matthews</a> in terms of overall skills it won't be a surprise if he sneaks into the back end of the first round.
