Bryan77's Mock Draft (Round 1)

1 - KC: Geno Smith, QB, West Virginia
The Chiefs are once again in rebuilding mode with Crennell fired and Pioli not far behind the Chiefs will go with the best QB in this class Geno Smith and build around him he wont be Luck or RG3 but he's better than Cassel

2 - JAX: Jarvis Jones, OLB, Georgia
The Jags missed on Blaine Gabbert badly so they need a QB so they could trade down or simply go with the best player Jarvis Jones the Jags have zero pass rush and

3 - OAK: Manti Te'o, ILB, Notre Dame
The raiders have a complete lack of talent on D so they need help at each level of the D they could also trade down for more picks but they need a leader on that D that will give 100% every play no matter what unlike McClain so they go with Manti Te'o to be the cornerstone of the D for 10 years could also go wit ha DT

4 - PHI: Luke Joeckel, OT, Texas A&M
The Eagles are rebuilding at this point the new coach will inherit a talented but underachieving roster but whoever the QB is wont survive behind the OLine so the go with Joeckel to help when Peters comes back theyll have the best tackle tandem in the league

5 - DET: Damontre Moore, DE, Texas A&M
The lions disappointed this season and have holes on both sides of the ball with Kyle Vanden Bosch and Cliff Avril likely gone the Lions draft Moore an ultra talented DE who fills a need for them

6 - CLE: Bjoern Werner, DE, Florida State
the browns are looking for a new coach and they need to continue to add to a young improving roster so they need LB help but the best one is already gone so they go with a pass rusher Werner who could possibly stand up at LB but will help Cleveland improve its rush and help Jabal Shreard get more one on one match ups

7 - ARI: Taylor Lewan, OT, Michigan
In 2012 the cardinals fielded perhaps the worst Offense of all time and it wont get any better without a solid OL so they go with Lewan because he can be a building block on a line that will still need help after this pick

8 - BUF: Mike Glennon, QB, North Carolina State
The bills need a QB Fitzpatrick isnt the answer and in this day and age teams will reach for QBs no matter what so the bills will take Mike Glennon a guy who is gaining momentum should be a late first but the bills make him their franchise QB

9 - NYJ: Dion Jordan, DE, Oregon
The jets need a QB too but they cannot get any pressure on D without blitzing so they go with a good developmental guy who can rush the passer from the outside LB spot for years to come could also go with Mingo from LSU

10 - TEN: Star Lotulelei, DT, Utah
The titans need CB help desperately their pass D was a disaster all year but they need an interior presence to pair with Jurrell Casey and lets face it Lotulelei is too good to pass up

11 - SD: Dee Milliner, CB, Alabama
The chargers could trade up to get an OT if they stand pat theyll go with a CB to replace Quetin Jammer who will leave as a free agent so Milliner will fill in to be the #1 CB in SD

12 - MIA: Barkevious Mingo, OLB, LSU
the dolphins need a playmaking WR but ill assume theyll address that need in free agency so they could need a replacement for Reggie Bush as well so they could go in many different directions but they'll draft a pass rusher to pair with Cameron Wake

13 - TB: Johnthan Banks, CB, Mississippi State
The bucs will need DB help if Ronde Barber retires and Bank is the second best CB in the draft he will fill in and start immediately

14 - CAR: Johnathan Hankins, DT, Ohio State
The panthers D improved in the second half of the year but still needs pieces to build around so picking Hankins the 2nd best DT in the draft will help fix that problem and give the panthers two good building blocks in he and Kuechley

15 - NO: Sheldon Richardson, DT, Missouri
The saints will draft the best defensive player available and in this case its richardson he's big and strong and will help the terrible saints D improve in 2013

16 - STL: Jake Matthews, OT, Texas A&M
The rams are on the up swing with Jeff Fisher in town but still need to upgrade the offense to be a competitive team in the rough NFC west and Wayne Hunter is downright awful so they draft Matthews to be the RT

17 - PIT: Eric Fisher, OT, Central Michigan
The steelers need to draft another O Lineman shocking I know but they will lose Max Starks to free agency not like he was that good anyhow and replace him with Fisher he can fill in and then some for the pass happy steelers

18 - DAL: Chance Warmack, OG, Alabama
If Chance Warmack played OT he would be the #1 pick he's that dominant for the crimson tide but lucky for the cowboys OGs dont get picked in the top ten and the cowboys need more help upfront because their oline is terrible Warmack will instantly make them better

19 - NYG: Jonathan Jenkins, DT, Georgia
Its seems crazy to say that the D Line has become a weakness for the G-Men but its true they couldnt stop the run the second half of the season and drafting Jenkins will fix that he can stuff the run and rush the passer a little

20 - CHI: Alec Ogletree, ILB, Georgia
Brian Urlacher is aging and will be a free agent after 2012 anyhow Alec Ogletree will have the heavy task of replacing a legend in chicago and as long as he gets in the weight room he can accomplish it will be a good fight in chicago

21 - CIN: Sam Montgomery, DE, LSU
The bengals are too cheap lets be honest Michael Johnson is a free agent and has turned into a great outside pass rusher but the bengals wont pay him the big money contract it will take to retain him so they replace him with Montgomery he'll be a great addition in CIncy

22 - MIN: Keenan Allen, WR, California
The vikings need help on Offense AP cant do everything by himself adding Allen will give opposing defenses someone else to think about besides AP and Harvin

23 - SEA: Justin Hunter, WR, Tennessee
The seahawks dont have a lot of needs but a downfield threat is one of them a big outside WR to pair with Rice and Tate will help Wilson continue to excel in 2013

24 - STL: Kyle Van Noy, OLB, BYU
(from washington) by getting an extra first round pick from washington they have a chance to improve quickly and they will improve their OLB spot with Van Noy from BYU

25 - IND: Kawann Short, DT, Purdue
The colts could use a true OLB but they dont grow on trees so they go with a DT to help sure up the run D

26 - GB: Barrett Jones, OG, Alabama
Th packers still need O Line help and Barrett Jones can play 4 positions on the Oline and will give the packers a versatile body for the oline

27 - BAL: Matt Elam, SS, Florida
The Ravens need a safety to replace Ed Reed who could retire after this year and Elam would be a great fit he's a ball hawk and a hard hitter

28 - DEN: Giovani Bernard, RB, North Carolina
The broncos are pretty stacked but could still use some help on the O Line or DB spot and also could use a long term option at RB

29 - SF: Terrance Williams, WR, Baylor
The niners need WR help the one they drafted last year was a disaster and williams is a big young WR that can replace Randy Moss

30 - NE: Tavon Austin, WR, West Virginia
The pats need a replacement for Wes Welker who will leave in free agency Austin will be a perfect fit for New England's fast paced scheme

31 - ATL: Tyler Eifert, TE, Notre Dame
The falcons need a replacement for Tony Gonzalez and Eifert will fill the gap even though personally I like Urtz better but Eifert will fill in for Gonzalez for years to come

32 - HOU: Kenny Vaccaro, SS, Texas
The Texans need DB help there absolutely atrocious vs the pass so they are happy that Vacaro fell into their laps and will help them solve their issues
