dominic_rams's Mock Draft (Round 1)

1 - KC: Luke Joeckel, OT, Texas A&M
KC loves Joeckel, any other interest seems is a fake flag to possibly suit a trade.

2 - JAX: Ezekiel Ansah, DE, BYU
Jacksonville needs a pass rusher, and ansah is rising up with his strength and elite speed.

3 - OAK: Sharrif Floyd, DT, Florida
A bit overrated in my opinion, but Floyd would be the top player on the board for Oakland and they need help on the Defensive front.

4 - PHI: Geno Smith, QB, West Virginia
Philly has shown much interest in Smith, and Kelly loves his style of play. Vick wont be there for long.

5 - DET: Eric Fisher, OT, Central Michigan
Detroit gets its franchise left tackle.

6 - MIA: Lane Johnson, OT, Oklahoma
Miami has made big moves this off season, no surprise, big need at left tackle. Gives up 2nd and swaps 1st.

7 - ARI: Dion Jordan, DE, Oregon
With Johnson off the board I see Az taking best player on board, only strengthening their defense. Jordan has tremendous athleticism and is a freak. With Palmer don expect AZ to get a qb till round 2.

8 - BUF: Chance Warmack, OG, Alabama
Levitre left filling a huge hole, any wideout would be reach here. So Buffalo gets an elite guard, Warmack will immediately help and create huge holes for an exciting play maker in C.J. Spiller.

9 - NYJ: Star Lotulelei, DT, Utah
The jets need help on their defensive line, and I consider this a steal at 9.

10 - TEN: Dee Milliner, CB, Alabama
What? Dee Milliner falls to 10? Well, he is a great prospect, but with Cleveland out, Dee isn't seen as elite, so i dont see any one else taking him that high. Tennessee loves him, and needs a CB as they have no one besides Verner.

11 - SD: Cordarrelle Patterson, WR, Tennessee
Any tackle would be a huge reach, and I dont see them drafting Cooper considering the depth of offensive line. Rivers lvoe throwing it deep, and chargers have unproven targets. patterson is raw, but is a great deep field runner, and if he learns a bit more on the finesse things, he can be great.

12 - CLE: Xavier Rhodes, CB, Florida State
Cleveland still gets a cb in Rhodes, who may not be as good as Milliner off the back, but he has the ability to develop in a seriously good corner.

13 - TB: Tyler Eifert, TE, Notre Dame
Tampa bay needs a tight end to compliment Vincent Jackson and support Freeman, Eifert fixes that.

14 - CAR: Kenny Vaccaro, SS, Texas
I mocked Richardson here before, but the Panthers have shown serious interest in Vaccaro, and need help at safety.

15 - NO: Barkevious Mingo, OLB, LSU
Rob Ryan gets a athletic freak to fit in his 3-4 scheme. If Mingo adds a little strength, his upside is tremendous.

16 - STL: Tavon Austin, WR, West Virginia
St. Louis loves Austin and has down great interest, if available he won't get past the Rams, who need a play maker.

17 - PIT: Jarvis Jones, OLB, Georgia
Harrison is gone, and they kept Sanders, so Pittsburgh picks up a pass rushing OLB in Jones. He fits perfectly in their defense.

18 - DAL: Jonathan Cooper, OG, North Carolina
Cowboys pick up an elite guard. He will provide great protection for Romo.

19 - NYG: Bjoern Werner, DE, Florida State
In my opinion a steal, the Giants pick up a once top prospect. Werner will wreak havoc opposite of JPP with his great first step and array of moves.

20 - CHI: Alec Ogletree, ILB, Georgia
The Bears need a young athletic linebacker, and they get it.

21 - CIN: Jonathan Cyprien, SS, Florida International
Cincinnati needs a safety alongside Nelson. I don't believe he is much behind Vaccarro.

22 - STL: Arthur Brown, ILB, Kansas State
I thought about having Fluker, but with the depth at offensive line the Rams grab a bigger need. Dunbar and Laurinaitis were great, but the other side was weak. With the mobile qb's in the nfc west, they need an athletic lb who can tackle, and thats exactly what Brown is. If he can up a tiny bit of weight he would provide an immediate impact and the Rams would have one of the best LB trios.

23 - MIN: Sylvester Williams, DT, North Carolina
Minnesota really likes Williams, and needs help at DT.

24 - IND: Datone Jones, DE, UCLA
With Freeney gone, Indy needs a pass rusher. Datone Jones is strong and athletic, he can immediately fill the void.

25 - MIN: DeAndre Hopkins, WR, Clemson
With Allens stock falling I see the Vikings getting a rising Hopkins. I believe he is the most sure bet at wide out, no serious injuries and great production. He may not become a star, but he will be a great sure handed wide out who can run all the routes and make all the catches for Ponder.

26 - GB: Sam Montgomery, DE, LSU
GB needs another rusher with Walden leaving, Montgomery has effort issues, but I believe GB will make a chance, seeing as there the type of organization that could turn his attitude around.

27 - HOU: Justin Hunter, WR, Tennessee
Houston needs a WR opposite of Andre Johnson, period.

28 - DEN: Cornellius Carradine, DE, Florida State
Dumervil is out, there is a lot of buzz around Carradine, he is a very good player, if not for his ACL injury he might have been a lock top 10 pick.

29 - NE: Jamar Taylor, CB, Boise State
NE culd use a Cb, and NE has shown great interest in Taylor, he is a good physical corner.

30 - ATL: Desmond Trufant, CB, Washington
With Grimes and Robinson leaving there is a hole at CB. Trufant is athletic and can make up ground, although a bit undersized, he is still very good.

31 - SF: Jesse Williams, DT, Alabama
SF could use a little help in the middle of the D-line. Williams was a monstrous force who would fit right in.

32 - BAL: Kevin Minter, ILB, LSU
Baltimore fill sits need at MLB. While Te'o may have more leadership like qualities, Minter is a bit more balanced in his play. I believe he is the better MLB and Baltimore will too.
