It is very early and things will change, but here is how I see things going as of today...
1. STL: Ndamukong Suh, DT, Nebraska
I know there are some injury concerns here, but when healthy this guy is a game changer. The Rams need a lot of help, but since I think Vick is going to the Rams, it is time to work on that defense.
2. Det: Gerald McCoy, DT, OU
McCoy could go #1, he is one of the best players in the draft, and the Lions need to get tougher up the middle.
3. TB: Eric Berry, S, Tennessee
In my opinion Berry is the best player in the draft. Yes, this is very high for a safety, but you can't pass on this kind of talent, plus the Bucs got toasted through the air last year.
4. Wash: Jimmy Clausen, QB, ND
Campbell's time in Washington is over. Clausen gets the nod over Bradford, because of the pro system that he played in. I know Notre Dame was a let down while he was there, but this kid is the real deal.
5. KC: Joe Haden, CB, Florida
Want a better defense? Get good cornerbacks. Haden has the chance to be something special. He is the clear #1 corner, and KC just can't pass on that.
6. Sea: Sam Bradford, QB, OU
The Hasselbeck era is ending in Seattle, and if Bradford is still there they will jump on him.
7. Cle: Derrick Morgan, DE, Georgia Tech
Morgan can get pressure on the QB. He is more polished then Jason Pierre-Paul, and the Browns need a sure thing.
8. Oak: Anthony Davis, OT, Rutgers
It doesn't matter who you have under center if you can't protect the QB. The Raiders need to be smart here and not go with a skill player. Build from the inside out, but it is the Raiders, so who fucking knows.
9. Buff: Dez Bryant, WR, OK State
Owens and Evans could be gone. Bryant is the best WR in the draft, so this is an easy pick for the Bills.
10. Den: Everson Griffen, DE, USC
The Broncos are so pissed Bryant is gone. Without another top reviver around the Broncos stay logical, and Griffen is a great fit for a 4-3 defense.
11. Jax: Jason Pierre-Paul, DE, USF
The Jags have to get more pressure on the QB, Pierre-Paul is a little raw, but the sky is the limit with this kid, so he can't fall any further.
12. Mia: Ronaldo McClain, LB, Bama
Dolphins need an ILB and McClain is a beat. A steal this late in the draft (in my opinion).
13. SF: Russell Okung, OT, OK State
A lot of people think the 49ers will go Spiller here, but I am not sold. They go with the safe pick, and start rebuilding that line.
14. Sea: C.J. Spiller, RB, Clemson
Seattle should go with an OL here, but with Spiller still on the board this is a chance to setup your whole offense for the future (since they already took Bradford).
15. NYG: Kyle Wilson, CB, Boise St.
The Giants got toasted through the air last year. Wilson is fast, and in the right system could turn into a very serviceable CB.
16. SF: Carlos Dunlap, DE, Florida
If the 49ers can stop him from being a douchebag he is one of the most talented kids in this draft. The 49ers can't let him fall any further.
17. Tenn: Brian Price, DT, UCLA
Titans need to get stronger up the middle. Price can be very disruptive, and you know how the Titans love that.
18. Pitt: Mike Iupati
Big Ben can't keep taking hits, and that running game is not what it once was. Smart pick, since it is time to rebuild that front.
19. Atl: Kareem Jackson, CB, Bama
Another team that really needs to get better at protecting against the pass.
20. Hou: Taylor Mays, S, USC
They would have loved to get a top corner, but too many are off the board. Mays can be a game changer, and for a team that is so close to being good he could be the difference.
21. Cin: Demaryius Thomas, WR, Georgia Tech
OchoCinco isn't going to be around forever, and Palmer could use more weapons. He is a big body (6-3) and could open up the field for #85.
22. NE: Brandon Graham, OLB, Michigan
Patriots need to get young at the LB position, so this is the obvious pick, but the Patriots have surprised us before, and they are not usually very high on taking linebacker early (other then Mayo).
23. GB: Trent Williams, OT, Oklahoma
If this offense could protect Aaron Rodgers they will be one of the best in the league. That can start with this pick.
24. Phi: Sean Weatherspoon, OLB, Mizzou
He can play inside or out, and Philly needs to get younger/better at the LB position. Plus it is kind of awesome to have a Witherspoon and Weatherspoon on the same defense.
25. Balt: Devin McCourty, CB, Rutgers
The Ravens can stop the run, but if you spread them out they can be very vulnerable. This pick helps that.
26. Ari: Sergio Kindle, DE/OLB, Texas
With Dansby likely gone the Cardinals look to soften the blow. He gives them lots of options on defense, and that's never a bad thing.
27. Dal: Bryan Bulaga, OT, Iowa
Dallas OL did not look good in the playoffs, and they have to protect Romo, and make that running game better. Bulaga is a steal this late in the draft.
28. SD: Jahvid Best, RB, Cal
With LT gone, and Spoles being a glorified 3rd down back, the Chargers look to the future. He has the speed, but is he healthy enough?
29. NYJ: Arrelious Benn: WR, Illinois
Jets defense is already great, so it is all about getting Mark Sanchez more weapons.
30. Min: Maurkice Pouncey, OL, Florida
Favre almost died in that last playoff game, so the Vikings do the logical thing and try to fix that.
31. Ind: Dan Williams, DT, Tenn
The Colts have trouble against the runs every year. Williams should never have fallen this far, and the Colts take advantage.
32. NO: Navorro Bowman, OLB, Penn. St.
Saints love speed. Bowman isn't the biggest guy, but he has a motor, and did I say the Saints love speed?
