1. Indianapolis Colts: Andrew Luck: The organization is in the development of a fire sale in the organization. First the Polian's, now the head coach many speculate Peyton Manning will retire due to injury. Luck comes in and starts day one, and revamps the organization.
2. St. Rams: Justin Blackmon: The Rams need immediate help in the passing game, given the amount of injuries it has had i nthe last 2 years. Blackmon is the top receiver, and is explosive. He will become Sam Bradford's go to guy, and open up the run for Stephen Jackson a bit more.
3. Minnesota Vikings: Matt Kalil: If Christian Ponder is the future QB then they need to protect him immediately, and get AP a great blocker. Kalil is the best OT prospect and will be a star for the Vikings for many years.
4. Cleveland Browns: Trent Richardson: The Browns have many needs including QB, but Richardson brings a smashmouth running style to a team that will probably not sign Peyton Hillis after all the injuries and questionable play. They can get a QB with there second pick in the first round.
5. Tampa Bay Buccs: Morris Claiborne: The Buccs need alot of help in the secondary; Barber is old and may retire, and Talib has created headaches off the field may not return. Claiborne is the best CB in the draft, and addresses there top need.
6. Washington Redskins: RGIII: The only way to help energize a organization that should be contending every year is get the Heisman winner. Not only do they need a QB, but RGIII brings many skill sets similar to Cam Newton to there offense.
7. Jacksonville Jaguars: Quinton Coples: It seems every year the Jags take someone who is not necessarily a top player, and they gamble. They take Coples who is the most interesting player, possibly being a DE or OLB based on his size. The Jags continue taking a defensive player with there top pick.
8. Carolina Panthers: Devon Still: Carolina is in need of a inside run stopping tackle, and Still brings a variety of things to the team. He is a flexible player, and will help the dline for the Panthers. I believe that the secondary is another area the Panthers may look.
9. Miami Dolphins: Riley Reiff: QB is a huge need for the Dolphins, but I believe they may get Matt Flynn in FA. That being said they will want to protect him, and Riley Reiff is the best OL available. Already a good line with Jake Long, and Pouncey, this solidifies the offensive line.
10. Buffalo Bills: Courtney Upshaw: The Aaron Maybin experience is over with and Shawn Merriman has been injuried. The Bills lack pressure on the QB, and need help at linebacker. Upshaw will play OLB and can contribute with his size and physical play.
11. Kansas City Chiefs: Jonathan Martin: Even though Romeo Crennel is a defensive minded coach, they jump on the chance to add a stud OT. Martin is a highh prospect and protected Andrew Luck very well in college. His play will transition to the NFL and help protect Cassel or Orton.
12. Seattle Seahawks: Andre Branch: Branch is versitale player who can be a OLB or DE. I think Pete Carroll will utilize this and have him play a little of both. Aaron Curry was cut, and they lack a OLB to bring pressure.
13. Arizona Cardinals: David Decastro: After obtaining Kolb from the Eagles, they look to help keep him safe when he actually plays. Decastro is the top ranked guard, and played well at Stanford and will continue his play in the NFL.
14. Dallas Cowboys: Melvin Ingram: Dallas is hurting for a playmaker up front to go with DeMarcus Ware. Ingram will play DE and create pressure on the line, but also could play some OLB in sub packages.
15. Philadelphia Eagles: Luke Kuechly: The Eagles have been shredded in there LB core, and injuries also have hurt them. Kuechly starts day 1 and gives the Eagles a leader on the defense to help stop the run.
16. NY Jets: Mark Barron: The Jets have a couple area's of need, but they go with the top safety in the draft to help the secondary.
17. Cincy Bengals: Dre Kirkpatrick: The Bengals don't hesitate to grab the 2nd best CB who falls to them here. A very physical, and good size corner, Kirkpatrick will start opposite Leon Hall.
18. San Diego Chargers: Michael Brockers: Brockers will help shore up the dline that has had many guys rotate in. ILB is another area of need, but I believe the Chargers take Brockers to help slow down the rushing attacks the AFC West has.
19. Chicago Bears: Kevin Reddick: Beisdes the problems that Lance Briggs made about his contract last year, there linebacking core isn't getting younger. Another possible position they address is WR, with a Michael Flyod as a possible target.
20. Tennessee Titans: Vontaze Burfict: After losing Stephen Tulloch, the need for ILB help has increase. The Titans addressed dline issues the last couple years, so they start looking at the lineback position.
21. Cincy Bengals: Lamar Miller: The Bengals address a need again getting the 2nd best running back available. With Cedric Benson not under contract, I see them getting younger at the position.
22. Cleveland Browns: Ryan Tannehill: Finally the Browns go get a QB after not taking RGIII with there first pick. With a more consistant QB, and drafting a explosive running back, look for a WR in round 2 to help Tannehill.
23. Detroit Lions: Alfonzo Dennard: The Lions still haven't fixed their secondary problems, and the pick of Nick Fairley was a surprise last year. They finally wise up and add a playmaker to help Louis Delmas.
24. Pittsburg Steelers: Zebrie Sanders: Big Ben took alot more hits this year, and got banged up. The Steelers add another youthful lineman like Pouncey to help protect Big Ben. DT is another area they may target here, or next round.
25. Denver Broncos: Flether Cox: The Broncos need interior help on the dline, and Cox will add that. With Dummerville and Miller, they add a run stopper to help those pass rusher they have. CB is another area that needs to be addressed.
26. Houston Texans: Michael Floyd: Andre Johnson needs someone who take take pressure off him always getting open. The Texans lack another good receiver to help spread the field, and help the running game. Floyd will be the number 2 WR from the start.
27. New England Patriots: Whitney Mercilus: As a Patriot fan I hope BB finally addresses the pass rush this year. Mercilus led the nation in sacks, and is a explosive threat off the edge. The Patriots can use him as a OLB in the 3-4 or in there sub packages as a d lineman.
28. Green Bay Packers: Jerel Worthy: The Packers D in some categories was dead last in the league, which is surprising for the defending superbowl champs. They take Worthy to replace the loss of Cullen Jenkins and shore up the dline.
29. Baltimore Ravens: Dont'a Hightower: Not too often a guy with his size (6'4" 260) comes along at the position. And with Ray Lewis getting up there, Hightower can be the perfect successor. His physical play at Alabama will help him adjust to a tough Ravens defense.
30. New York Giants: Jarvis Jones: Jones was another one of those players that cam out of nowhere this season and had 13.5 sacks. For Georgia he played great as a OLB, and will transition the same for the G-Men.
31. San Fran 49ers: Alston Jeffery: After they released Braylon Edwards, they lacked another receiver with Michael Crabtree. I believe they take Jeffery, a very raw but talented player. With his size and speed he is a good compliment to Crabtree and helps Alex Smith target more then Vernon Davis.
32. New England Patriots: Dontari Poe: If the Patriots keep this pick, I see them adding a very big guy in the middle of the defense. Poe (6'5" 350) will be the DT to either play along Vince Wilfork in the 4-3 or will start at DT. The Patriots used big Vince at DE many games so they can slide him over. If they trade this pick, more then likely they will obtain a 1st round pick for it next year, or be in the top 10 picks in round 2.
