If you're going to rate my mock, leave your username so I can see yours, especially if you're going to rate it poor. I think this site is just full of trolls. Don't be a troll, back up your talk.
1 - KC: Luke Joeckel, OT, Texas A&M
What a bad situation for KC. Their needs don't match this draft. They need a QB but I personally don't think Geno Smith is worth #1. They need a WR, none are worthy. They could use DL help but drafting a DE for a 3-4 this high is dumb (ask the Chiefs, they've tried it a few times). To me, the smartest thing to do if they can't trade down is to take the safest player, Joekel, and rework that OL.

2 - JAX: Damontre Moore, DE, Texas A&M
With this high of a pick the Jags need to focus on the problem they constantly have, lack of pass rush. Some of the top rated pass rushers are Jarvis Jones, Demontre Moore, and Bjoern Werner.

3 - OAK: Bjoern Werner, DE, Florida State
Oakland is another team in need of a pass rush. So look for them to choose among the players Jax didn't draft. If Richard Seymour doesn't remain, Star Lotulelei could be targeted.

4 - PHI: Star Lotulelei, DT, Utah
I think Mike Vick is done in Philly. I don't think they draft a new QB this high though. The Eagles always seem to go with a big lineman, so I'd project Star Lotulelei. He's the best player on the board. They could go for Milliner if he grades highly or Joeckel if he falls.

5 - DET: Dee Milliner, CB, Alabama
The Lions are desperate for defense. They could go pass rush or secondary. I think they'll get the top CB first and look for DE in the 2nd round because it's a deep class.

6 - CLE: Jarvis Jones, OLB, Georgia
This could be a steal for the Browns. It fills a great need. Depending on the medical checks, Jones could be first pass rusher taken.

7 - ARI: Geno Smith, QB, West Virginia
The Cards really should (and probably wanted to) go OL, but Lewan and Matthews are now (officially) returning to school. Is Eric Fisher worthy of #7? The Cards could go for a pass rusher like everyone else but I think they'll go QB.

8 - BUF: Keenan Allen, WR, California
I had them taking Geno Smith until the OT class thinned out so much that the Cards best pick turned to QB. I've only got one QB so far, another could come up the draft boards and fall here. Or they could go WR since GM Nix said he wants one. Also, this is the highest Te'o could go but I don't think he should go this high. I'm not sure of the rankings of the WRs just yet, so a lot of these WRs could be switched.

9 - NYJ: Barkevious Mingo, OLB, LSU
I think they'll go after Vick in Free Agency. After QB, I think pass rush and OL are the biggest needs.

10 - TEN: Dion Jordan, DE, Oregon
The Titans need secondary help, OL help and pass rush help. There aren't any CBs or Safetys worth this high a pick if the draft falls this way. I think it's too high for an OG too. So I think they'll look at the deep pass rush class.

11 - SD: Manti Te'o, ILB, Notre Dame
SD wanted an OT. With Lewan and Matthews staying in school though, they'll have to look elsewhere. With the draft board falling this way, and the Charger's needs, I'm bumping up Te'o's draft spot. I'm tempted to bump up Warmack but OGs don't go this high, no matter how good they are. People were mocking DeCastro this high last year and look where he went.

12 - MIA: Cordarrelle Patterson, WR, Tennessee
I expect Miami to get a WR in free agency, namely Greg Jennings. They might still draft one too. If Jake Long leaves, this pick would almost certainly turn to OT.

13 - TB: Xavier Rhodes, CB, Florida State
This is a team on the rise that just needs to mature and maybe add a few more pieces. They missed Talib more than they thought they would.

New Orleans biggest need is obviously defense. I think pass rush in particular.

They need to get younger on defense. I could see them drafting the best available at any defensive spot.

Defense still seems to be the biggest problem in Dallas. The top safety spot will either be Vaccaro or Reid.

The Giants love pass rush and a big DT to occupy blockers can free up the pass rushers.

This will be an interesting offseason for the Bears. Who stays, who goes? I think OL is obviously the biggest need though.

21 - CIN: Alec Ogletree, ILB, Georgia
A RB here could make sense since the team says it wants a gamechanger at the position. Are any RBs worthy? They seem to love drafting LBs though, so I'll go with that. SEC linebackers especially.

22 - STL: Jonathan Cooper, OG, North Carolina
I think they go OL with their first pick. Depending on what's on the board, maybe both picks. If they lose Amendola, maybe WR.

23 - MIN: Sheldon Richardson, DT, Missouri
The Vikings could go a few ways. A DT to sure up the run defense, a WR. I think they'll go defense in the draft. The DT pecking order is still up in the air. I could see Richardson going higher. If Percy Harvin is no long with the team, this definitely turns into a WR.

-- The Kansas City Star does not expect the Chiefs to offer impending free agent Dwayne Bowe a long-term deal. He played this year on the franchise tag. That usually leads to free agency.

-- You could be right about Te'o, but read around on professional mock drafts. He's not regarded very highly by NFL scouts. He's smart, sure, but he's not athletic. He's not Patrick Willis. He's not that highly regarded by scouts.

-- Like I said, read the PROFESSIONAL mockers. He's not a lock in top 10. He's gonna run like a 4.7-4.8 forty. That's not athletic. Oh yeah, college awards don't transfer to NFL. You think every Heisman finalist goes Top 10? We'll see what happens in April

Excellent -- That's ridiculous. They weren't drafted BECAUSE they won the Heisman. They were good prospects. You can point at RG3 but what about Troy Smith, Weinke, Wuerffel, etc? Plus, we're talking a middle linebacker, not QB. List some recent great top 10 MLBs...
