billyb0b's Mock Draft 1.8 (Round 1)

1 - KC: Geno Smith, QB, West Virginia
KC knows that Cassell/Quinn are not the answer at QB. Smith is a mobile black QB from the Big East similar to that of his original 1st pick from the Eagles McNabb.

2 - JAX: Damontre Moore, DE, Texas A&M
A team can not have 20 sacks in a year and expect to win football games. Moore looks similar to John Abraham when watching his tape he has that great burst of speed that edge rushers need to have.

3 - ARI: Luke Joeckel, OT, Texas A&M
Trade Oakland to Arizona: Zona knows no QB no matter who they are will survive with the O Line they have in place. Joeckel is one of the reasons why Johnny football was barely ever touches hes a beast of a LT.

4 - PHI: Star Lotulelei, DT, Utah
Moving this defense to a 3-4 Eagles will need a NT since Dixon can not be counted on to become a solid NT. Star is a bruiser he is a big man with all the speed and strength in the world reminds me of Ngata from the Ravens.

5 - DET: Bjoern Werner, DE, Florida State
Avril is a free agent and KVB is looking old and starting to become injury prone plus they always pick the best player available. Werner is strong, physical beast at the line of scrimmage. He pushes offensive line around and plays with violence.

6 - CLE: Ezekiel Ansah, DE, BYU
Switch to a 3-4 means the Browns will need to OLB while I see them getting one in Free Agency it will leave an opening on the other side. Ansah is a freak of nature and with the combine coming up soon he is going to sky rocket even though his size says 4-3 but with his ability he can play the Rush LB.

7 - OAK: Dee Milliner, CB, Alabama
Trade Arizona to Oakland: Oakland's secondary was disastrous they couldn't stop a cold. Milliner reminds me of Charles Tillman he is very physical with man to man and a sure tackler.

8 - BUF: Matt Barkley, QB, USC
Bills Gm Nix lifted his hand as usual saying he wants a franchise QB. While Barkley at this moment is not a franchise QB he is the only one who comes close to fitting that bill since Glennon has fallen.

9 - NYJ: Kenny Vaccaro, SS, Texas
I don't see the jets being able to retain Landry since he will want a serious pay day and Bell will be much cheaper to keep. Vaccaro is a beast helping the run and in coverage.

10 - STL: Eric Fisher, OT, Central Michigan
Trade Tenn to STL: Eric Fisher slipping to 10 was to good for coach Fisher to pass up on since Saffold can move to his more natural position of RT. Fisher adding weight and his senior bowl tape makes an easy top 10 pick and the Rams need to keep Bradford off the turf.

11 - SD: Lane Johnson, OT, Oklahoma
Now this could be a stretch but Charger are another team with tackle problems and need to keep their franchise QB from getting pummelled and help this running game. Lane had great senior bowl tape and the frame to be a LT prospect.

12 - MIA: Cordarrelle Patterson, WR, Tennessee
Since Jake Long will probably resign with Miami I will choose the top WR since no team is going to win with Brian Hartline as your number 1 option. Patterson has good size with speed and quickness plus he a freak of nature.

13 - NYJ: Barkevious Mingo, OLB, LSU
Trade TB to NYJ for Revis. The Jets defense needs to get pressure on the QB since Pace should be cut and Thomas is a FA. Mingo has all the skills to become a top Rush LB he needs to add a few pounds though.

14 - CAR: Sharrif Floyd, DT, Florida
They didn't grab Cox last year since Kuechley fell to them and when he did they had no other choice. Floyd was a monster in the middle of the line as a run-stuffer and a disruptive pass-rusher.

15 - NO: Jarvis Jones, OLB, Georgia
Moving to a 3-4 this team will need to get a solid pass rusher since in a 3-4 set they do not have any on the roster as of now. Jones is going to fall since he is not a workout warrior and his spinal issues but he is a great pass rusher.

16 - TEN: Johnthan Banks, CB, Mississippi State
Trade STL to Tenn: Vernon is going to be a FA soon and besides McCourty this whole secondary could be scrapped. Banks is a big physical corner who could help this Titans secondary instantly.

17 - PIT: Dion Jordan, DE, Oregon
Harrison is 35 and been getting hurt of late so they need to think of the future of this dominate defense. Jordan is a top 15 player and he easily could be in the top ten but he tore his labrum and is questionable about going to the combine which can hurt his status.

18 - DAL: Chance Warmack, OG, Alabama
The Cowboys will go no were if they can not run the ball being ranked 32nd in the run and Romo always running for his life they can move Bernadeau to C and Warmack to RG. Warmack is the best prospect on the board and it wasn't for him being a G he would easily be Top 5.

19 - NYG: Alec Ogletree, ILB, Georgia
The LB core is the weakest link on the Giants defense and Ogletree can play all three LB positions. It is important they fill this spot since this defense was very weak this year.

20 - CHI: Jonathan Cooper, OG, North Carolina
Bear's new coach will realize if your going to pay Cutler all this money you need to keep him upright. Cooper s a smooth, coordinated athlete with fluid footwork and outstanding balance, blocking well on the move and constantly getting to the second level.

21 - CIN: Manti Te'o, ILB, Notre Dame
Rey Maualuga is a FA and likely done with the Bengals so they will need to find his replacement at ILB. Te'o stock has really took a nose dive since the national championship and the scandal but he is still a 1st round prospect.

22 - STL: Matt Elam, SS, Florida
Dahl can not be a starting safety if they plan to want to start getting into the race for the NFC West. Elam will help the run and pass defense play more of an SS role.

23 - MIN: Sheldon Richardson, DT, Missouri
Williams is getting old and Evans play decent however they need another big body in that middle to protect the run. Richardson has an insane motor and is a relentless pass rusher.

24 - IND: Johnathan Hankins, DT, Ohio State
Indy needs to start getting bigger up front since the #ChuckStrong can only pull them through so much which showed versus the Ravens and they had a horrid rushing defense in a division with Foster, Johnson, and MJD. Hankins is a big boy reminds me of a mix if Vince Wolfork and Casey Hampton.

25 - SEA: Keenan Allen, WR, California
Wilson could always use more weapons to help the Hawks passing attack. Allen is a Anquan Bolden type physical WR with good speed.

26 - GB: Barrett Jones, OG, Alabama
Jeff Saturday will retire after the Pro Bowl even though he lost his spot during the later end of the season and Smith is average at best. Jones is the jack of all trades OLineman but he will insert himself instantly into the lineup and better this line.

27 - HOU: Kevin Minter, ILB, LSU
This defense suffered some what without Ryans and James is getting older plus Cushings ACL tear. Minter is a hard hitting leader ILB with good size and range plus he lead a top defense.

28 - DEN: Desmond Trufant, CB, Washington
Champ Bailey is getting old and boy did it show against Torrey Smith. Trufant shut down every WR he saw at the Senior Bowl.

29 - NE: Tavon Austin, WR, West Virginia
Wes Welker is likely done in NE leaving a big hole for the Pats to fill. Austin is a speedster slot WR like Welker and he can contribute on the return game.

30 - ATL: Sam Montgomery, DE, LSU
The Falcons need to help Abraham and since Edward's was a bust the Falcons need to get better at pass rushing. Montgomery is a good prospect not a great one he shows flashes but could be a underachiever.

31 - SF: Kawann Short, DT, Purdue
Justin Smith is getting old and injury prone plus over all the DLine is getting old. Short had a nice senior bowl needs to work on double teams though.

32 - BAL: Alex Okafor, DE, Texas
The huge pay day that Flacco wants will cost the Ravens Kuger will also command top dollar in the FA market. Okafor is a rising pass rusher he is an solid pass rusher and against the run.
