1. St Louis- Sam Bradford QB Oklahoma-
I think they decided they would draft him a month ago, no surprise here. Bradford should have a Matthew Stafford type impact as a rookie, but the question will be if he can pull a Joe Flacco and Matt Ryan type playoff run. Hopefully there’s no holdout here because I’m sure A.J. Feely isn’t the answer for the Rams franchise.
2. Detroit- Ndamukong Suh DT Nebraska-
Suh is the next best guy on the board. Detroit needs to add some talent to the defense. Can’t go wrong with the 300-pound plus Suh who should play from day one.
3. Tampa Bay- Gerald McCoy DT Oklahoma-
McCoy is said to be better than Suh, so the Bucs get value here and build its team around defense.
4. Washington- Russel Okung OT Oklahoma St. –
Someone needs to protect the new guy Donovan McNabb
5. Kansas City- Earl Thomas S Texas-
All the rants and raves have been about how good Thomas is and how everyone wants him.
Wow the Big 12 just had the top-5 draft picks…
6. Seattle- Derrick Morgan DE Georgia Tech-
I once stood next to Morgan at a Tech practice and I have to say Morgan is a man-child. Pete Carroll gets defensive hear and selects the top pass rusher in the draft, who could start right away.
7. Cleveland- Joe Haden CB Florida-
Solid corner that has great ball skills and can make plays all over the field.
8. Oakland- Anthony Davis OT Rutgers-
I once saw Davis after a Rutgers practice being punished long after the team had left. There are obviously some characters issues here, but the big boy can play. Most of the draft analysts like Kiper and McShay think he’s too inconsistent. Hey, sounds like the perfect hit or miss for the infamous Al Davis.
9. Buffalo- Sergio Kindle LB Texas-
Help comes to the 3-4 defense. Kindle is athletic and will get things done
10. Jaxsonville
*Trade* Houston gets the 10th pick for the 20th pick and a 3rd round pick.
10. Houston- C.J. Spiller RB Clemson-
Houston wants and needs a running back, Spiller will have success in the league from Day-1, whether it is as a kick returner or a situational back. Jacksonville trades down for a surprise…
11. Denver- Demaryius Thomas WR Georgia Tech-
I’m in love with Thomas who shows flashes of Calvin Johnson. Thomas is a big athletic possession type receiver that will ultimately replace Brandon Marshall in Denver’s offense. The only problem will be, can Thomas lose the case of the drops? As seen Here
12. Miami- Brandon Graham DE Michigan-
Help comes to the pass rush in Graham who can play both LB and DE. Graham, a 4-year starter, literally can play all of the positions, in high school he was the linebacker, offensive guard, kicker and punter. It should be interesting to see if Tony Sparano can create any “wild cat” plays involving Graham’s talents.
13. San Francisco- Trent Williams OT Oklahoma-
San Fran will enjoy that Williams has dropped this far. I don’t know too much about San Fran, except Alcatraz is there.
14. Seattle- Brian Bulaga OT Iowa-
Bulaga is the next best tackle available and Pete Carroll should walk away happy with Bulaga. Brian “The White Buffalo” Bulaga should fit in very well out on the west coast.
15. N.Y. Giants- Ronaldo McClain LB Alabama-
Giants fans get what they want, a productive SEC-type linebacker. McClain should be productive in an already solid defense, and show the northern football fans what an SEC linebacker can do.
16. Tennessee- Jason Pierre-Paul DE USF-
Hopefully this back flipping athletic freak can flip over offensive lines and one day replace Jevon Kearse. Well at least that’s the plan. You can put the “risk” label on Pierre-Paul seeing as he has only played one year of divison-1 football.
17. San Franciso
*Trade* Oakland gets the 17th pick for the 39th overall pick, a 7th round pick and a 2nd rounder next year
17. Oakland- Jimmy Clausen QB Notre Shame-
Al Davis and the boys just can’t pass up on Clausen, who has all of the tools to be a great NFL quarterback. Who cares if JaMarcus Russell can sling the ball 80-yards, Clausen showed up to his pro day looking pretty stocky (Brady Quinn clone?) Plus, he showed up to national signing day in a limo, that just shows the potential he has right there.
Clausen to Oakland?
