DP did his mock draft a little while back, and I have been putting mine off because... Well I don't really have an excuse other than it's damn time consuming. Anyways, here is what I see happening tonight.
(Note- I don't factor in probable trades)
1. Colts - Andrew Luck, QB, Stanford
No shock here. We have known this pick for awhile. I believe it is the "safe pick", as RG III I think has the higher ceiling, but more unknowns. Luck is a proven winner. He took a horrible Stanford program and turned it around. He'll have to do it again with the Colts.
2. Redskins - Robert Griffin III, QB, Baylor
Gave up a king's ransom to get him so it better work out. Has the highest ceiling in the draft, and really could be worth it. The Redskins have been looking for a franchise QB forever, this could finally be the guy they can turn to.
3. Vikings - Morris Claiborne, CB, LSU
Best cornerback in the draft for a team that let 5th most passing yards in the league. Reports say they are really trying to trade out of this pick, but if they stick I think Claiborne is the right one.
4. Browns - Trent Richardson, RB, Alabama
Browns have to be pissed they aren't getting a top QB out of this draft. Since they don't have anyone that can throw you might as well have one of the best RBs in the league. Richardson is that guy.
5. Buccaneers - Justin Blackmon, WR, Oklahoma State
Josh Freeman took a huge step back last year. What better way to get his confidence back then giving up the best WR in the draft?
6. Rams - Matt Kalil, OT, USC
The Rams are so pissed right now that Blackmon went off the board. After punching the wall several times they decide that keeping Bradford healthy is their #1 priority.
7. Jaguars - Quinton Coples, DE, North Carolina
DP was 100% correct. Best pass rusher in the game, and I think one of the few options here for the Jaguars that I wouldn't consider a reach.
8. Dolphins - Ryan Tannehill, QB, Texas A&M
The Dolphins are going to do this and it's such a mistake. Sure he has upside, but you are drafting pure upside with the #8 pick in the draft. That's silly. I think Matt Moore is better then this kid.
9. Panthers - Fletcher Cox, DT, Mississippi St.
Offense seems to be the strength now it's time to rebuild that defense, so Cam Newton doesn't have to score 50 points a game. Always good to anchor the middle and build out. Fletcher is a strong and fast DT that can get pressure on the QB.
10. Bills - Michael Floyd, WR, Notre Dame
It's a passing league. The Bills have a good start with Johnson, but it doesn't hurt to add to that.
11. Chiefs - Dontari Poe, DT, Memphis
True DT weighing in at almost 250 pounds. Chiefs drafted Dorsey last year maybe this guy can get him more space.
12. Seahawks - Melvin Ingram, DE, South Carolina
Seahawks need a pass rusher, and Ingram is the best on the board. He is the "pure rusher" the Seahawks need. Had 10 sacks last year.
13. Cardinals - Riley Reiff, OT, Iowa
OL has been a problem for years, it is time to fix that and this is as good of a start as any.
14. Cowboys - Mark Barron, S, Alabama
Fill a need and thrilled he actually fell to them.
15. Eagles - Michael Brockers, DT, LSU
Eagles were so weak up the middle last year it was a joke. It's time to get off the sexy position and finally gets a guy who can play in the trenches.
16. Jets - Chandler Jones, DE, Syracuse
Jets need help at DE and Jones is a great fit. He can rush the passer, but also has very long arms that could help against quick throws from things like Brady-to-Welker.
17. Bengals - Stephon Gilmore, CB, South Carolina
Bengals actually had a pretty decent defense last year, and Gimore would be a steal.
18. Chargers - Luke Kuechly, ILB, Boston College
Maybe I just hate BC, but fuck it he drops. Spikes is really old, and Kuechly and Butler could be good for a long time.
19. Bears - Whitney Mercilus, DE, Illinois
They need a DE and they get a DE.
20. Titans - Dre Kirkpatrick, CB, Alabama
Replacement for Finnegan and actually has a decent shot at being an upgrade. Would've love for this guy to fall to the Patriots, but I can't justify it.
21. Bengals - David DeCastro, G, Stanford
They have a passing game that is heading in the right direction, now it is time to protect it.
22. Browns - Cordy Glenn, OT, Georgia
Got Richardson early in the draft, now it is time to giving him some running room.
23. Lions - Jonathan Martin, OT, Stanford
For the love of God please protect Stafford.
24. Seelers - Dont'a Hightower, ILB, Alabama
The Steelers get their next LB that will probably turn out to be a Hall of Famer. Some things never change.
25. Broncos - Jerel Worthy, DT, Michigan State
I have seen some boards that don't have this kid going in the first round and I don't get it. He is a steal right here and will be very good for a long time.
26. Texans - Stephen Hill, WR, Georgia Tech
You never know how much Johnson is going to play, but if he is healthy and they add this kid to the mix they could be very dangerous.
27. Patriots - Courtney Upshaw, OLB, Alabama
Can play DE and OLB, seems like a perfect fit, but the Patriots will probably do something weird like trade the pick or select another TE.
28. Packers - Shea McClellin, OLB, Boise St.
Packers were one of the worst pass rushing teams last year and McClellin is said to be the best fit.
29. Ravens - Kevin Zeitler, G, Wisconsin
Would've liked to get a DE or LB, but another hole is the middle of their offensive line.
30. 49ers - Jeff Allen, OT/G, Illinois
They have the talent to throw and run, but you can do either if they don't have holes and time to do so. All is a nice fit and has flexibility.
31. Patriots - Janoris Jenkins, CB, North Alabama
Dude is crazy, but maybe the Patriots can figure that out. He might be a top 10 guys if he can get his head on straight.
32. Giants - Coby Fleener, TE, Stanford
Everyone seems to have them taking a TE, so what the hell I'll agree.
