Quick Picks (Round 1)

1 - KC: Geno Smith, QB, West Virginia
Best QB by leaps and bounds in the draft, although not the best player on the board, will be the best QB on the Chiefs. First round pick for an offensive tackle doesn't make sense here. They need a play maker.

2 - JAX: Sharrif Floyd, DT, Florida
Floyd has rocketed up the boards and the locals have also taken notice. Floyd is a talent with a very high ceiling and was highly productive against stiff competition, which edge's out Star, but not by much.

3 - OAK: Star Lotulelei, DT, Utah
If Oakland is smart, they will do everything to trade down. This might be the best draft to do so. If not, take the best defensive player on the board.

4 - PHI: Damontre Moore, DE, Texas A&M
The Eagles get instant pass rush with this pick, and Moore will have a Aldon Smith type of impact for the Eagles.

5 - DET: Ezekiel Ansah, DE, BYU
I know, you think I'm crazy...but wait until after the combine. This guy is the most athletically gifted player for his size. Has huge bust potential, but he will go high because of his raw freakish attributes.

6 - CLE: Dee Milliner, CB, Alabama
They may go pass rusher here, but at this pick I think they upgrade their secondary and will have one of the best young CB duos in the league.

7 - ARI: Luke Joeckel, OT, Texas A&M
This is no Joecke. He may be the best player in the draft, but some needs outweigh this prospects elite status. Arizona gets a gift here. Don't be surprised if someone tries to trade up and nab this guy.

8 - BUF: Jarvis Jones, OLB, Georgia
He should be the number one defender off the board. But his risky medical history will drop him in the draft, but not by much. His upside is too high. Though my rule for picking in the first round is always go with the safe bet, this one is a little risky. But, the rewards could be huge.

9 - NYJ: Dion Jordan, DE, Oregon
Remember Vernon Gholston, well this is who he was supposed to be. A little risky, but there is no denying that this is a special player.

10 - TEN: Bjoern Werner, DE, Florida State
Most scouts love this guy, but doesn't get drafted earlier because he is seen to have a lower ceiling. The Titans will get it's version of Chris Long here.

11 - SD: Eric Fisher, OT, Central Michigan
This is almost a sure fire tackle pick. I actually think Fisher may be better than Joeckel. People rave about his pass blocking, which is awesome...but you should watch this guy run block...incredible. Watch for some tackle hungry team to trade up and try to snatch this guy from the chargers.

12 - MIA: Datone Jones, DE, UCLA
Cameron Wake needs a friend, this guy is severely underrated. Big and athletic, he gets overshadowed by some of the more popular prospects. But this guy can ball.

13 - TB: Matt Elam, SS, Florida
The Bucs could go in many ways here. I think pairing this guy with their great young safety selected last year will form quite a secondary. Elam is a tremendous box safety, and a true thumper in the secondary, has good pass coverage skills too. Then Barber can move back to corner or play Nickel. Corner is a larger need, but Elam is too good to pass.

14 - CAR: Chance Warmack, OG, Alabama
Perhaps the best Guard prospect since L. Davis, he will be demolishing d-lines for years to come, hopefully turning out to be more like Larry Allen than Leonard Davis.

15 - NO: Barkevious Mingo, OLB, LSU
The Saints will be focusing in putting together players for the switch to the 3-4 this draft. This pick will either be for a NT or rush outside linebacker.

16 - STL: Lane Johnson, OT, Oklahoma
Don't sleep on Lane Johnson. While Fisher and Joeckel get all the attention, this former junior college quarterback is supremely athletic, and may become the best of the bunch. Rams are ecstatic.

17 - PIT: Jesse Williams, DT, Alabama
In my opinion Jesse Williams is the best 3-4 lineman in the draft. He can play DE and NT, so he will bolster the aging Steelers defense and serve as Casey Hampton's future replacement. I

18 - DAL: Sheldon Richardson, DT, Missouri
Dallas is going back to a 4-3 and will take one of the best DT that fit that scheme perfectly.

19 - NYG: Alec Ogletree, ILB, Georgia
Michael Boley was let go because his coverage skill had diminished. Alec can replace him day one, as being perhaps the best cover linebacker in the draft. He also has the versatility to play any linebacker position.

20 - CHI: Dallas Thomas, OT, Tennessee
Chicago is going to reach a little for this offensive tackle. Thomas is a versatile lineman that can play either side. Keeping Cutler on his feet is priority one, and the talent at the position drastically falls off after this guy.

21 - CIN: Cordarrelle Patterson, WR, Tennessee
Cincy didn't think Patterson would still be on the board. So they are going to give the Red Rifle another weapon, and help A.J. Green become more dangerous.

22 - STL: Kenny Vaccaro, SS, Texas
Vaccaro is a dynamic safety. While receiver is tempting here, they can pick up one in the second round, but this is a game breaker type of player that will help give that Rams secondary an identity.

23 - MIN: Keenan Allen, WR, California
With Harvin most certainly gone, I'm almost certain they go with WR here, even if they add one via free agency. The big athletic Allen can help Ponder be more than a game manager.

24 - IND: Eric Reid, FS, LSU
The safeties for the Colts are flat out pathetic. They would love to go with an interior lineman Cooper, but a huge upgrade at the safety position is needed, and this LSU product is a ball hawking playmaker.

25 - SEA: Jonathan Cooper, OG, North Carolina
The Seahawks go OL, WR, or DT here. Watch for Zach Ertz to go here as well. Figuring they can get a WR and DT later in the draft because of the position's depth this year, they select a true first round talent in Cooper.

26 - GB: Barrett Jones, OG, Alabama
If you have ever watched a Bama game, this guy pops out at you. He was an All-American as a left tackle, and played guard and center as well. The Pack love versatility in their players, and this guy and plug and play at any position in an offensive line with several questions.

27 - HOU: Desmond Trufant, CB, Washington
That secondary was torched way too often. Trufant is a true cover corner, and can greatly improve an already dangerous Houston defense.

28 - DEN: Kawann Short, DT, Purdue
One of the glaring weaknesses on Denver's team is at DT. Short is an overpowering and disruptive force that will make that Denver front seven even better.

29 - NE: Justin Hunter, WR, Tennessee
Hunter, might be the most gifted WR in this class. Brady will give this guy the opportunity to show off his skills.

30 - ATL: Eddie Lacy, RB, Alabama
Ertz may be an option here. They are looking for a replacement for Michael Turner. Lacy is the feature back that can keep that Atlanta offense balanced.

31 - SF: DeAndre Hopkins, WR, Clemson
Adding more weapons for their blossoming QB would be a smart move here. This team can be scary good if they can really have a deep ball threat.

32 - BAL: Johnthan Banks, CB, Mississippi State
Baltimore will almost definitely go defense here. Without elite inside linebackers in the draft, they will look to either address the DL or secondary. Banks is a great talent that can play corner and eventually possibility play safety.. Will become Reed's successor, but may play Nickel or corner.
