1.Kansas City Chiefs
Final Projection: Eric Fisher Central Michigan
According to Jay Glazer, Albert Breer, and many other insiders, Eric Fisher is the favorite for
the no.1 pick, and I completely agree with this pick. I think Fish is the better OT and I really
like this pick.
2.
Jacksonville Jaguars
Final
Projection: Luke Joeckel OT Texas A&M
The
potentially best player on the board is a no brainer here. End of
story.
3.Oakland
Raiders
Final
Projection: Star Lotulelei DT Utah
This
pick feels like the best overall player at this spot. It basically
will come down to Star Lotulelei versus Shariff Floyd, if they take
Star then Shariff Floyd will probably fall into the middle of the 1st
round. If they take Shariff Floyd here, Star Lotulelei could go to
the Eagles at 4.
4.
Philadelphia Eagles
Final
Projection: Lane Johnson OT Oklahoma
The
Eagles need help on the O-Line, despite Dion Jordan still being
available here, I think the Eagles go with either Lane Johnson or
Jonathan Cooper. I think Lane Johnson fits their need better than
Jonathan Cooper or Lane Johnson. I could also see them trading down
here to get a few more picks.
5.
Detroit Lions
Final
Projection: Ezekiel Ansah DE BYU
The
Lions are reportedly interested in this kid, and honestly I think
it's the perfect fit. Dion Jordan is more of an OLB and would not be
as good of a pure pass rushing fit as Ziggy.
6.
Cleveland Browns
Final
Projection: Geno Smith QB West Virginia
I
went back and forth on this pick, I thought Geno, but then Dion
Jordan. I have to go with Geno Smith, just like Mike Mayock is
predicting. I love Geno with the Brown, I figure worst case scenario,
he gets beat out and sits for a year behind Jason Campbell.
7.
Arizona Cardinals
Final
Projection: Jonathan Cooper OG
The
Cardinals would love to have Lane Johnson here, but I seriously doubt
he is still here. With that being the case, I have to agree with Mike
Mayock again and say they take Jonathan Cooper. I think this is a
good fit, and helps Bruce Arians begin to rebuild the Cards decimated
O-Line.
8.
Buffalo Bills
Final
Projection: Matt Barkley QB USC
It
has recently come out that the whole Ryan Nassib connection was
nothing more than a giant smokescreen to throw other teams off of the
Bills real plan. As many people know Doug Marrone has been drooling
over Matt Barkley for a few years now. Barkley also is closer to a QB
like Drew Brees, who Doug Marrone has worked with before, and would
fit his offense.
9.
New York Jets
Final
Projection: Dee Milliner CB Alabama
After
trading away Darrelle Revis to the Buccaneers, the Jets are in need
of a CB to pair with Antonio Cromartie. Dee Milliner could very well
be the next Darrelle Revis, and if they hit gold on this pick, Rex
Ryan could very well save his job.
10.
Tennessee Titans
Final
Projection: Chance Warmack OG Alabama
I've
felt ever since the combine that Jonathan Cooper was the best Guard
in this draft class, however he is no longer on the board so I see
them taking the next best thing which is Chance Warmack. I think he
fits with the Titans perfectly, and gives them a very gifted and
athletic interior lineman.
11.
San Diego Chargers
Final
Projection: DJ Fluker OT Alabama
If
the Chargers do not trade up to get a true LT then this makes
absolutely perfect sense. Phillip Rivers will thank me, as DJ Fluker
is a much better pass protector than he gets credit for. I think he
can probably play on the left side, contrary to popular belief, and
the Chargers get a very good player here.
12.
Miami Dolphins
Final
Projection: Xavier Rhodes CB Florida State
The
Dolphins need a replacement for Sean Smith and Xavier Rhodes is the
best remaining CB. I could see them trading down here, or possibly
taking DJ Fluker.
13.
New York Jets
Final
Projection: Barkevious Mingo OLB LSU/ Dion Jordan OLB Oregon
To
me, this comes down to either KeKe Mingo or Dion Jordan. I think KeKe
comes off the board here because he is the better raw pass rusher.
But really, either one could come off the board here.
14.
Carolina Panthers
Final
Projection: Shariff Floyd DT Florida
Carolina
benefits from the free fall of the most explosive one gap perpetrator
in this draft by picking up Shariff Floyd at 14. They need help in
the middle of the defensive line and this just solidifies the middle
better than anyone else available here
15.
New Orleans Saints
Final
Projection: Dion Jordan OLB Oregon/ Barkevious Mingo OLB LSU
No
matter which player the Saints get here, they will greatly improve
their defense. Despite their production last season, the Saints
actually have some decent players on the defensive side of the ball.
Rob Ryan's 34 Defense combined with Jordan or KeKe sets the Saints up
for a surprise run in the playoffs.
16.
St. Louis Rams
Final
Projection: Tavon Austin WR West Virgina
The
Rams need someone to replace Danny Amendola, and Tavon Austin does
that perfectly. The Rams get a steal at 16.
17.
Pittsburgh Steelers
Final
Projection: Jarvis Jones
The
perfect replacement for James Harrison has appeared and fallen to the
Steelers. Jarvis Jones is the only pass rushing man big enough to
play in the Steelers scheme, Dion Jordan? Barkevious Mingo? both of
them are too small, Jarvis Jones is the perfect fit.
18.
Dallas Cowboys
Final
Projection: Sheldon Richardson DT Missouri
This
boy is the second most explosive DT in the draft, behind Sharrif
Floyd. As Mike Mayock pointed out, he was so athletic they lined this
310 lbs man child at linebacker in college.......LINEBACKER!!!! A 310
LBS LINEBACKER, ARE YOU KIDDING ME
19.
New York Giants
Final
Projection: Bjoern Werner DE Florida State
Basically,
he is Osi Umenyiora 2.0. The Giants are always looking for good pass
rushers, and Bjoern Werner fits the bill. I like this kid as a NASCAR
package pass rusher on the outside with JPP, Tuck, and Kiwi.
20.
Chicago Bears
Final
Projection: Manti Te'o MLB Notre Dame
.....I
hate Mike Mayock. I came up with this three days ago, but I'm going
to look like I'm copying Mayock now. Oh well, anyway, Manti Te'o is a
better fit for a 43 defense than a 34, despite playing in the 34 in
college. I like him as the next in a long line of quality Bears MLBs
and think he helps the Bears not feel of the loss of Brian Urlacher.
21.
Cincinnati Bengals
Final
Prediction: Kenny Vaccaro SS Texas
The
Bengals biggest need in this year's draft is safety, sure they need a
running back, but I think they can get a solid back, possibly Marcus
Lattimore, in the later rounds.
22.
St. Louis Rams
Final
Prediction: Eric Reid FS LSU
He
would be a great fit for the Rams, filling the only major hole on
their defense. I think they address their need at Guard in a later
round by taking Kyle Long from Oregon, reuniting him and his brother
Chris.
23.
Minnesota Vikings
Final
Prediction: Alec Ogeltree MLB Georgia
The
Vikings get the absolute perfect Tampa 2 MLB in this draft. A former
safety, Ogeltree is an amazingly athletic prospect, and great in
coverage. He is long and lean and is a great steal by the vikings
here.
24.
Indianapolis Colts
Final
Prediction: Margus Hunt DE SMU
The
Eastern Block, Margus Hunt. The Colts get their very won JJ Watt
clone with this pick, taking the 4th boom or bust prospect in the
first round, behind KeKe Mingo, Dion Jordan, and Tavon Austin. This
fills a need for the Colts and give them a really good player at this
spot.
25.
Minnesota Vikings
Final
Prediction: Cordarrelle Patterson WR Tennessee
The
Vikings get a play making receiver to replace Percy Harvin here. The
Vikings make big strides towards becoming a consistent playoff team
with the additions of Patterson and Ogeltree.
26.
Green Bay Packers
Final
Prediction: Datone Jones DE UCLA
The
Packers get a very nice 5 tech DE right here. This man has JJ Watt
Esq skills, albeit at a lower level. The Packers get a good interior
pass rusher at 26, helping them to have a one two punch with Clay
Matthews.
27.
Houston Texans
Final
Prediction: Ryan Swope WR Texas A&M
This
is my number 1 WR right here. The kid can flat out play, he is has
excellent hands and ridiculous speed. He will really get a chance to
shine in the Texans offense with Andre the Giant and Arian Foster
keeping the pressure off of him.
28.
Denver Broncos
Final
Prediction: Sam Montgomery DE LSU
The
Broncos get a very good, underrated 43 DE here, helping the Broncos
to replace Elvis Dumervil. Sam is not as good as Elvis by any
stretch, but he is a much better option that Damontre Moore in my
opinion.
29.
New England Patriots
Final
Prediction: Jamie Collins OLB Southern Mississippi
One
of my personal favorite pass rushing OLBs in this draft class, I
absolutely prefer him over Damontre Moore. While the Pats could use
help in the secondary, I think Jamie Collins is the better fit,
especially in New England's 34 defense.
30.
Atlanta Falcons
Final
Prediction: Tyler Eifert TE Notre Dame
The
dirty birds get a second TE to use along with, and eventually to
replace, Tony Gonzales. While they could go after a CB, TE is a
bigger long term need.
31.
San Francisco 49ers
Final
Prediction: Zach Ertz TE Stanford
Jim
Harbaugh get's one of his former TEs from Stanford to replace Delanie
Walker. Ertz has similar skills to Delanie Walker and fits as an
H-Back in the 49ers offense.
32.
Baltimore Ravens
Final
Prediction: Kevin Minter ILB LSU
The
replacement for Ray Lewis appears on the scene, not in the form of
Manti Te'o but as Kevin Minter from LSU. Minter has the ability to
shut down the run consistently, however he is not as good in
coverage. He plays very similar to Takeo Spikes or Curtis Lofton in
the run game, being very powerful at the point of attack.
