Round One
1. Cam Newton, Quarterback, Auburn
While I wouldn't do this, Carolina will. Carolina needs to get something going with this franchise, and Newton is the main attraction in this draft class.
2. Marcell Dareus, Defensive Tackle, Alabama
With the recent releases of Justin Bannan and Jamal Williams, the Denver Broncos have made it clear they will be taking a DT with this pick. The question is whether they take Marcell Dareus or Nick Fairley. Dareus is the more consistent player, and has less character concerns about him. You gotta be sure when you're picking this high, and Fairley has too many questions.
3. Patrick Peterson, Cornerback, LSU
Von Miller would fill a need, but Buffalo will be taking the best player available. Patrick Peterson has the potential to be a shutdown corner in this league, and we have all seen the impact Nnamdi and Revis have had on this league. He's the top player on the board and also the player with the fewest questions. It also doesn't hurt that he is the top returner in the draft.
4. AJ Green, Wide Receiver, Georgia
With T.O. likely to be moving on and Chad Johnson potentially being traded, the Bengals need to get that number one receiver for the next ten years. A.J. Green is the best receiver prospect since Calvin Johnson. Green will be the impact player on offense the Bengals are looking for.
5. Von Miller, Outside Linebacker, Texas A&M
Ever since Calvin Pace went to the Jets back in 2008, the rush linebacker position has been a dire need for the Cardinals. Von Miller is the top rush linebacker in this draft, and will come in and make an impact immediately. The Cardinals get the guy they targeted all along.
6. Da'Quan Bowers, Defensive End, Clemson
The Browns have switched to a 4-3 defense and they need some defensive line help. Luckily for them, I have Bowers slipping right to them. Bowers is very talented and he is gifted physically. Many people have Bowers as the top prospect in this draft, but with his lingering knee issue he falls to Cleveland at six.
7. Robert Quinn, Rush Linebacker, North Carolina
San Francisco needs to get consistent play at the rush linebacker position. Robert Quinn may have been the number one pick this year if he didn't get suspended. He still needs to learn the position, but with his talent that shouldn't take too long.
8. Blaine Gabbert, Quarterback, Missouri
Easily there biggest need is QB and the Titans get there guy here. There are definitely better players available, but you can't win without a QB. Gabbert is the franchise player Tennessee has been looking for.
9. Tyron Smith, OT, USC
Word is Dallas likes Tyron Smith a lot. Marc Colombo is a bum. Tyron Smith is the most talented tackle in this draft. Dallas needs to get younger and better on the offensive line.
10. Julio Jones, Wide Receiver, Alabama
Julio Jones was one of the top performers at the combine and with that performance the Redskin's take him at ten. Santana Moss is a free agent and even if he wasn't they need to improve at the WR position. Anthony Armstrong cannot be your number one.
11. Aldon Smith, Rush Linebacker, Missouri
With the transition to a 3-4, the Texans need that premier pass rusher to come off the edge. I'm not that high on Aldon Smith, but he is the best available player at his position.
12. Nick Fairley, Defensive Tackle, Auburn
The biggest fall of the draft, and Minnesota gets a steal here. With Pat Williams set to retire, the Vikings need someone to play next to Kevin Williams. I would of had Fairley higher, but he's strictly a 4-3 defensive tackle.
13. Prince Amukamara, Cornerback, Nebraska
The Lions need two things badly, a Cornerback and an Offensive Tackle. The Lions fall into a dream scenario with Amukamara falling to thirteen.
14. Corey Liuget, Defensive Tackle, Illinois
With Cliff Ryan becoming a free agent and Fred Robbins turning 34, the Rams need to find someone to help build that defense. With Chris Long emerging last season, Liuget will come in and only make the D-line better.
15. Mark Ingram, Running Back, Alabama
IIt seems that Ingram is the consensus pick here for the Dolphins in every mock. With Ronnie Brown becoming a free agent and Ricky Williams set to retire, Miami needs to find a RB. The Dolphins get a position of need and good value with this pick.
16. Cameron Jordan, Defensive End, California
The Jaguars need to solve their End problem, and Jordan is the guy to do it. A top 10 player on my big board and seems to be rising on many other boards. Jacksonville gets tremendous value and takes care of one of there top needs with this pick.
17. J.J. Watt, Defensive End, Wisconsin
The Patriots are looking for another defensive end, and Watt is the perfect fit. With Mike Wright and Ty Warren both coming off injuries, Watt will be an immediate starter. The Patriots will probably trade this pick though.
18. Muhammad Wilkerson, Defensive End, Temple
The Chargers need to upgrade at LE with Jacques Cesaire set to become a free agent (and not being that good in the first place). Wilkerson is one of the fastest rising players on the draft boards. Wilkerson is the prototypical 5-technique and will be a beast immediately
19. Anthony Castonzo, Offensive Tackle, Boston College
With the Giants O-line up there in age and very injury prone they need to start rebuilding the offensive line. Castonzo might not start right away, but he will be the LT for the future.
20. Adrian Clayborn, Defensive End, Iowa
The Bucs had a horrific pass rush last year and DE is the number one priority. Coming into the season Clayborn was a top ten prospect, but didn't put up the numbers this year and thus his stock dropping. If he plays like he did in 2009 then this is gonna be an absolute steal for Tampa Bay.
21. Phil Taylor, Nose Tackle, Baylor
The Chiefs haven't had a legitimate nose tackle since they made the transition to a 3-4. Phil Taylor is the top pure nose tackle in this draft and will come in and start right away. There are some character and weight concerns with Taylor, but I think he has that under control.
22. Gabe Camiri, Offensive Tackle, Wisconsin
The Colts need some help on the offensive line. Camiri offers a tackle who is very good in pass protection, which we know is important to the Colts. Solder is the more talented player, but the Colts need someone who they are sure on.
23. Jimmy Smith, Cornerback, Colorado
The Eagles tried many options at RCB last year and none of them played well. Jimmy Smith will come in and start from day one bringing some stability to the position.
24. Akeem Ayers, Outside Linebacker, UCLA
Coming off a terrible combine Ayers' stock falls. The Saints have desperately needed some OLB's for years now and get the best one at 4-3 outside linebacker. Ayers doesn't do anything great, but he is an all around good player in every aspect of the position.
25. Nate Solder, Offensive Tackle, Colorado
The Seahawks were terrible along the offensive line last season. Sean Locklear played like the bum he is and Solder will be a hige upgrade over him. With Okung and Unger coming into next season healthy, this offensive line could be really good next year.
26. Torrey Smith, Wide Receiver, Maryland
He's not a player I like a lot, but there is definitely talent with him. With Stallworth and Houshmandzadeh set to become free agents, and Derrick Mason potentially retiring, Torrey Smith could come in and make an impact right away. He will also give them some stability in the kick return game.
27. Justin Houston, Defensive End, Georgia
Atlanta could go WR or DE at this pick. The best available of those two would be a DE though. Abraham is getting old and Atlanta didn't really have a pass rush anywhere else last year. Houston will make an impact on the D-line right away. He'll also be a fan favorite coming from Georgia.
28. Derek Sherrod, Offensive Tackle, Mississippi State
With Matt Light set to hit free agency, the Patriots need to get younger and better at tackle. Sherrod is a great pass blocker, and that works well with the Patriots. Will likely play RT with Vollmer more than likely moving to LT.
29. Mike Pouncey, Offensive Guard, Florida
The Bears could improve almost anywhere along that abysmal offensive line. They would like to get a tackle, but they need the best available lineman. Mike Pouncey is the consensus top guard in this draft. He'll come in and start at right guard immediately.
30. Ryan Kerrigan, Rush Linebacker, Purdue
I'm not a fan of Kerrigan at linebacker, but he can probably get it done. The Jets struggled last year getting to the QB and need some help in that area. Kerrigan might not be a starter right away, but he'll make an impact in pass rushing situations.
31. Brandon Harris, Cornerback, Miami (FL)
The Steelers need a CB more than anything, and that showed in the Superbowl. Harris is the best available corner. Down the road he'll eventually become the number one corner as Ike Taylor is on the backside of his career now.
32. Brooks Reed, Rush Linebacker, Arizona
While Green Bay has some okay pieces opposite of Clay Matthews, they could definitely upgrade. Brooks Reed is the best available rush linebacker. He'll take some pressure off of Clay Matthews providing some pass rushing opposite of him.

1. Cam Newton, Quarterback, Auburn
While I wouldn't do this, Carolina will. Carolina needs to get something going with this franchise, and Newton is the main attraction in this draft class.

2. Marcell Dareus, Defensive Tackle, Alabama
