EaglesPhan15's Mock Draft (Round 1)

1 - KC: Luke Joeckel, OT, Texas A&M
Andy Reid loves drafting lineman in the 1st round. In 12 of the 14 drafts in Philly, offensive or defensive lineman were drafted in the 1st round. Plus, Luke Joekel is the best player in this draft with out a doubt.

2 - JAX: Bjoern Werner, DE, Florida State
New coach Gus Bradley knows that to be a successful defense, you need a pass rush. Bjoern Werner will provide great pressure and Gus Bradley will really have fun coaching this beast.

3 - OAK: Geno Smith, QB, West Virginia
Bottom line is that the Raiders need help at all positions. Carson Palmer is garbage and that trade for him was just horrific. JaMarcus Russell was just a nightmare and Terrelle Pryor cannot be a signal caller. Geno Smith has good work ethic and will at least try to win games for Oakland.

4 - PHI: Dee Milliner, CB, Alabama
The Eagles secondary was just atrocious last season. Nnamdi Asomugha is complete trash and is clearly not the player he once was in Oakland. DRC is a free agent and Dee Milliner would be a great addition to that secondary that gave up over 30 touchdown passes.

5 - DET: Damontre Moore, DE, Texas A&M
Detroit just cut Kyle Vanden Bosch. Damontre Moore is a beast and will complete that already stud defensive line with already Ndamukong Suh and Nick Fairley. Plus, Cliff Avril is a free agent. Also, don't be surprised to see Dwight Freeney in Detroit next season.

6 - CLE: Jarvis Jones, OLB, Georgia
Cleveland needs a lot of help at most positions. Therefore, go for the best available player on the board with Jarvis Jones. Jarvis Jones is a monster and will definitely be a star 2-3 years in the NFL.

7 - ARI: Eric Fisher, OT, Central Michigan
Everybody says that the Cardinals need to draft a QB and RB. At 7th overall, QB and RB is not worth the risk. In my point of view, the Cards are fine at RB with Beanie Well and Ryan Williams. The running game will get better if they draft Eric Fisher. Matt Barkley is no better than Kevin Kolb, so why draft him at 7. If Barkley is available in the 2nd round, then they should seriously consider using that pick on him.

8 - BUF: Manti Te'o, ILB, Notre Dame
The whole girlfriend hoax thing will clear up by April. Manti Te'o has real potential to be a really good player. Buffalo's defense needs help at LB and Te'o can definitely fill that role.

9 - NYJ: Star Lotulelei, DT, Utah
Im saying right now that the Jets have the worst roster in the entire NFL. Any position would help them out here. The Jets get lucky here at the best DT falls to them at 9. Rex Ryan will have a lot of fun coaching Lotulelei as he will be the anchor in the middle that the Jets have been missing for a long time now.

10 - TEN: Chance Warmack, OG, Alabama
Chance Warmack is an instant starter. He is a great blocker who has good feet and will provide a lot of running room for Chris Johnson. By the end of the season, Warmack will be CJ2K's best friend.

11 - SD: Keenan Allen, WR, California
The Chargers need to provide Philip Rivers with some help on the outside. You can tell that Rivers really missed Vincent Jackson this past season. The signing of Robert Meachem and Eddie Royal didn't work out. With Keenan Allen on the outside, Phillip Rivers will forget about Vincent Jackson as he will fulfill the need at WR.

12 - MIA: Barkevious Mingo, OLB, LSU
The Dolphins need to provide a pass rush to help out Cameron Wake. Wake had half of the Dolphins sacks last year. Mingo, should provide the help that Cameron Wake and the Dolphins need.

13 - TB: Xavier Rhodes, CB, Florida State
Buccaneers secondary was even worse than the Eagles. They gave away Aqib Talib which was a questionable move. Do I really need to say anything else? Xavier Rhodes will be a big help for the Bucs.

14 - CAR: Sharrif Floyd, DT, Florida
The Panthers need someone in front of Luke Kuechly. Floyd is a big body and will clog up holes and open lanes to the backfield for the Panthers LB's to stuff.

15 - NO: Alec Ogletree, ILB, Georgia
The Saints defense was the worst in the NFL. They may need to rebuild the whole entire defense and why not start with a great LB? Alec Olgetree will be a big help in the middle of that defense.

16 - STL: Lane Johnson, OT, Oklahoma
Rodger Saffold was solid this past season. However, they need to provide Sam Bradford with more protection. Lane Johnson is a great fit in St. Louis.

17 - PIT: Datone Jones, DE, UCLA
The Steelers front seven is really old. Any position there would really help them out. Datone Jones is a versatile player than can play both in the 4-3 or 3-4 defense. Fairly quick for his position, Datone Jones over time can really help out the Steelers.

18 - DAL: Ezekiel Ansah, DE, BYU
Ezekiel Ansah is very quick. Has good potential and really reminds me of Jason Pierre-Paul. Ansah used to run track so you know he is athletic like JPP.

19 - NYG: Sheldon Richardson, DT, Missouri
The Giants just cut Chris Canty and Osi Umenyiora is on his way out. Justin Tuck was a disappointment this past season. The Giants need to help out JPP with the pass rush. Richardson has good strength and is a very good pass rusher. Some will be surprised that RIchardson will be available at 19.

20 - CHI: Jonathan Cooper, OG, North Carolina
Like every year, "Da Bears" need help on the offensive line. It is so bad that it has gotten to the point that Jay Cutler is yelling at his offensive line after every drive. If you watched the Bears vs 49ers game MNF, you'll know what I'm talking about when it comes to how bad the Bears offensive line really is.

21 - CIN: Kenny Vaccaro, SS, Texas
The Bengals need a safety to help out the secondary. Nate Clements had to play the safety position despite being a natural cornerback because Taylor Mays was awful. Both Clements and Chris Crocker are free agents in their 30s.

22 - STL: Cordarrelle Patterson, WR, Tennessee
Danny Amendola is a great slot receiver, while Chris Givens served as a dangerous deep threat, but the Rams lacked a No. 1 receiver. Brian Quick showed some good signs but, nobody knows where his career will shake up. Cordarrelle Patterson will be a big help for Sam Bradford.

23 - MIN: Johnathan Hankins, DT, Ohio State
The Vikings need to get back at stopping the run on defense.

24 - IND: Jonathan Jenkins, DT, Georgia
Antonio Johnson's contract is up, but he was playing out of position anyway. Indianapolis will have to consider Johnathan Jenkins at No. 24 overall this April.

25 - SEA: Jesse Williams, DT, Alabama
With the interior rush that Jesse Williams provides, the Seahawks already great secondary becomes better as the 'Hawks already execute a lot of pressure from its DE's. With the interior rush, teams will have a hard time scoring on this defense.

26 - GB: D.J. Fluker, OT, Alabama
The Packers O-Line is getting up there with age. It wouldn't hurt to have a young OT in the mix for the future.

27 - HOU: Kevin Minter, ILB, LSU
Brian Cushing needs help. Kevin Minter can provide that help that the Texans defense needs. Kevin Minter can become a star right from the get go.

28 - DEN: Eddie Lacy, RB, Alabama
The Broncos have already said that they will be adding a powerful RB to their roster. Willis McGahee is in his 30's and Knowshon Moreno isn't as good as he was expected to do when the Broncos selected him in the 1st round a few years ago. Eddie Lacy is a big back that can provide toughness and good work ethic. He will take pressure off of Manning and will soon become an ultimate weapon.

29 - NE: DeAndre Hopkins, WR, Clemson
Wes Welker is a free agent and Brandon Lloyd didn't have the season that the Patriots hoped he would. DeAndre Hopkins has great hands. In my eyes, he reminds me of Reggie Wayne.

30 - ATL: Zach Ertz, TE, Stanford
Tony Gonzales is retiring and the Falcons don't have a replacement for Gonzales on their roster. Thats why I think Zach Erts will go to the Falcons.

31 - SF: Desmond Trufant, CB, Washington
The 49ers secondary got burnt in the Super Bowl. Donte Witner had a really bad season and Chris Culliver seems lost on that defense. Desmond Trufant falls to the 49ers and they get a player that will make an immediate impact.

32 - BAL: Matt Elam, SS, Florida
Ed Reed is likely to leave Baltimore this year or next year. Why not draft his replacement now in Matt Elam who is a great football player. He can really learn a lot from Bernard Pollard and Ed Reed if the Ravens have enough money to resign Ed Reed.
