I know D-line should be the focus, but all the elite d-line talent is off the board...
1. Detroit- QB Matt Stafford – It makes the most sense.
2. St. Louis- LT Jason Smith– I guess they might still be concerned with Monroe's knees.
3. Kansas City- LB Aaron Curry- Everyone seems to have a LT here
now but I don’t get it… Brandon Albert is a very good LT, take the best defensive player!
4. Seattle-QB Mark Sanchez- This is tough but if Walter Jones is good to go for the next 3 years, it would make sense to take Sanchez since Seattle will probably not be this bad for a while.
5. Cleveland- WR Michael Crabtree- With Braylon and K2 gone, the Browns need some receiving weapons.
6. Cincinnatti- LT Eugene Monroe- Hooray for the Bengals, they get to take someone with good character! And he fits a need!
7. Oakland- DT BJ Raji- With Crabtree gone, there are no WRs worth taking. I am going to give Al the benefit of the doubt and go D-Line.
8. Jacksonville- LT Andre Smith- They need WRs but again the value just is not there. This guy can play both tackle spots and guard too, so he will be very valuable to open holes for MJD.
9. Green Bay- 34 DE Tyson Jackson- Orakpo is the sexy pick here but I think he is a bad fit in a 34 and he just has a high bust factor anyway. Jackson is a safe, solid pick for the building of their 34.
10. San Fransisco- OT Michael Oher- Sanchez is gone, and I don’t think Singletary likes the rawness of Maybin and EBrown. So they take Oher to bookend with Staley.
11. Buffalo- DE Brian Orakpo- Huge need at LT, but they are all gone so they take Orakpo who also fits a huge need.
12. Denver- LB Rey Maualuga- With all the elite D-Line talent gone, the Broncos shore up the middle of the defense.

13. Washington- DE Everette Brown- It is a need and this would be a very sexy pick. Haynesworth and Brown could make for a great half of the D-line.
14. New Orleans- DB Malcolm Jenkins- This is what the fans want, and they get their wish.
15. Houston- LB Clay Matthews- This is a really tough pick but LB is a need so…
16. San Diego- RB Chris Wells- People laugh at this pick for some reason but LT is in Shaun Alexander territory and Sproles can’t do it by himself. Wells is an amazing talent that would keep the Chargers power run game going strong.
17. New York Jets- WR Jeremy Maclin- Explosive playmaker for the Jets and more polished than most speedsters coming out.
18. Denver- RB Donald Brown- I think Denver is going to go with DJ at SSOLB and Doom/Moss on the other side, so I think they may go offense since no D-line talent is good value here either. Donald Brown, Peyton Hillis, and JJ Arrington is how I see it playing out with Torain and/or LJordan cut.

19. Tampa Bay- DE Larry English- The Bucs need a pass rush and English can certainly do that. He is tough, physical, violent (unlike Michael Johnson)... everything that Raheem wants in his defensive players.
20. Detroit- LT William Beatty- The Lions follow the Falcons blue print from last year.
21. Philadelphia- WR Kenny Britt- With an amazing O-line, the Eagles decide to finally give McNabb a big, strong WR that will be perfectly complemented by D Jackson.
22. Minnesota- WR Hakeem Nicks- RT can be addressed in round 2, this guy is a special talent and should really help out Sage.
23. New England- 34 OLB Aaron Maybin- The Pats can take their time developing him as he can eventually be turned into an absolute beast.
24. Atlanta- LB Brian Cushing- I really don’t like Cushing, but the Falcons need D so he is the pick.
25. Miami- CB Vontae Davis- CB is a huge need and Vontae is an amazing talent… I think the fins coaches can control him.
26. Baltimore- TE Brandon Pettigrew- WR is a bigger need but I think DHB just has too big of a bust factor. Pettigrew becomes Flacco’s best friend.
27. Indianapolis- DT Peria Jerry- Great fit in the Indy scheme.
28. Buffalo- OT Eben Britton- Not that good of a fit at LT but they can try to make it work. They do more of a power running game anyway so this might work out.
29. Cleveland- OLB Clint Sintim - He played in a 34 in college so he can contribute right away and not have to adjust like all the DE/OLB prospects.
30. Tennessee- DB Sean Smith - I think this kid is going to be absolutely amazing if he puts it together.
31. Arizona- RB Knowshon Moreno- I think this would be a great fit for him.
32. Pittsburgh Steelers- C Alex Mack- They need to fix up that o-line in order to have a chance at repeating.
1. Detroit- QB Matt Stafford – It makes the most sense.
2. St. Louis- LT Jason Smith– I guess they might still be concerned with Monroe's knees.
3. Kansas City- LB Aaron Curry- Everyone seems to have a LT here
