Team Player Pos School Comment
1. Miami Jake Long T Michigan Easiest mock pick ever
2. St. Louis Chris Long DE Virginia Dorsey possible, but Rams nab pass rusher with Carriker inside
3. Atlanta Glenn Dorsey DT LSU Could easily take Ryan, but rebuilding Falcons get defensive anchor
4. Oakland Darren McFadden RB Arkansas They need Gholston but Al Davis can’t pass up playmaker
5. Kansas City Ryan Clady T Boise State Chiefs can trade down too; they might want pass rusher Gholston
6. N.Y. Jets Vernon Gholston LB Ohio State Will consider Ryan or trading the pick too
7. New England Sedrick Ellis DT USC A trade will be the first choice; McKelvin and Rivers possible
8. Baltimore Matt Ryan QB Boston College Ravens might have to trade up to get him but are thrilled to snare him
9. Cincinnati Keith Rivers LB USC Bengals want Ellis desperately and may swap with Pats
10. New Orleans Leodis McKelvin CB Troy Saints wants Ellis and will try to trade; top corner not a bad consolation
11. Buffalo Devin Thomas WR Michigan State Seems a reach but Bills do that (Donte Whitner) and they need a WR
12. Denver Chris Williams T Vanderbilt An offensive lineman (maybe Otah?) is a must here for Broncos
13. Carolina Derrick Harvey DE Florida With Peppers struggling and Rucker retiring, this seems obvious
14. Chicago Jeff Otah T Pittsburgh Local fav Mendenhall possible, but you can’t run if you can’t block
15. Detroit Rashard Mendenhall RB Illinois Lions would love for Harvey to fall this far
16. CARDINALS D. Rodgers-Cromartie CB Tenn. State Don’t be surprised with Stewart; McKelvin possible if available
17. Kansas City Phillip Merling DE Clemson Jared Allen out, the new pass rusher in
18. Houston Mike Jenkins CB South Florida Texans will look at RB too; Stewart is available
19. Philadelphia Brenden Albert OL Virginia Would love a WR but McNabb needs protection first
20. Tampa Bay DeSean Jackson WR California Bucs need playmaker on offense; could go CB with Talib too
21. Washington Limas Sweed WR Texas Want Merling; need WR after being rebuffed for Anquan Boldin
22. Dallas Jonathan Stewart RB Oregon Cowboys thrilled Stewart drops; they need a cornerback too
23. Pittsburgh Gosder Cherilus T Boston College Steelers want to replenish offensive line
24. Tennessee Calais Campbell DE Florida Titans need to replace LaBoy, Odom; could look WR too
25. Seattle Sam Baker T USC Aging offensive line needs to be addressed; TE an option
26. Jacksonville Kentwan Balmer DT North Carolina Jags could look CB too but instead replace Marcus Stroud
27. San Diego Aqib Talib CB Kansas Chargers add depth to secondary; could look offensive line
28. Dallas Brandon Flowers CB Virginia Tech Cowboys nab guy who might turn out to be the best CB out there
29. San Francisco Jerod Mayo LB Tennessee Wideout a definite possibility but Niners shore up defense instead
30. Green Bay Antoine Cason CB Arizona Packers need to help older CBs Al Harris and Charles Woodson
31. N.Y. Giants Tyrell Johnson S Arkansas St. Fill a need with Gibril Wilson having departed
