Author's Comments
This is my first time doing a mock draft in awhile so tell me what I need to change. Please don't hold back and criticize me where I need to improve on. Rate and comment.
1 - KC: Luke Joeckel, OT, Texas A&M
With a 5.3 second 40-yard dash and a 27-rep bench press display, NFL scouts got a little less than they expected from Joeckel. But the NFL Combine isn't always faithful though. With Prince Albert leaving the Chiefs because of his ridicolous asking price, Joeckel will go number one.

2 - JAX: Bjoern Werner, DE, Florida State
Wow the Jaguars D-Line is in shambles. Their entire D-Line had under 10 sack (20 total for the whole season). Werner would be a perfect fit

3 - OAK: Sharrif Floyd, DT, Florida
Richard Seymour's contract will likely be terminated by later this March and Tommy Kelly is a flat out bum who doesn't care about winning. I would have drafted Star here but of his health probelms. Floyd's stock has been rising and would be a good fit on the Raiders D-Line.

4 - PHI: Sheldon Richardson, DT, Missouri
It looks like the Eagles are switching to 3-4 defense (even though they don't have the parts to do so) and now they need to draft a solid 3-4 DE. Sheldon Richardson will probably move to DE because Cullen Jenkins and Mike Patterson were both cut.

5 - DET: Dee Milliner, CB, Alabama
You don't see CB's go in the top 5 that much but this draft class is pretty weak, just like the Lions' corners. Dee Milliner ran a 4.37 at the combine and he would be a catalyst to improve the Lions' secondary.

6 - CLE: Ezekiel Ansah, DE, BYU
The Browns changing their defense to a 3-4 is beyond me. Their defense was pretty good last yeat but I guess a change can improve this team. I think choosing Ansah over Dion Jordan would be smart because Ansah fits in a 3-4 scheme better than his counterpart.

7 - ARI: Eric Fisher, OT, Central Michigan
If you can't protect the QB, what's the point of drafting Geno Smith? The Cardinal's O-Line is horrendous and won't get any better if they don't improve it. Eric FIsher can easily go first or fourth in this draft, but a lucky fall can land him in Arizona.

8 - BUF: Geno Smith, QB, West Virginia
It's time to change QB's in Buffalo (and I'm not talking about Tarvaris Jackson). Geno Smith could fall but I think the Bills would be smart enough to draft a young QB to maybe develope under Fitzpatrick.

9 - NYJ: Damontre Moore, DE, Texas A&M
The Jets need to improve the pass rush. Damontre Moore needs to be the pick here to make this pass D a threat.

10 - TEN: Chance Warmack, OG, Alabama
Drafting a guard in the top 10 isn't really popular but Chance Warmack is a rare speciman in a weak draft class. The Titans should take this product with unlimited potential

11 - SD: Lane Johnson, OT, Oklahoma
It's simple; Jared Gaither cannot protect Phillip Rivers in the pocket. Lane Johnson had a spectacular Senior Bowl and he would be a great pick for the Chargers.

12 - MIA: Cordarrelle Patterson, WR, Tennessee
This would be a dream come true for this young unexperience offensive. Brian Hartline is still not signed and could be gone. Davone Bess is a slot receiver at best. Patterson can easily be their number one WR, even though is still a raw product.

13 - TB: Johnthan Banks, CB, Mississippi State
Aqib Talib left a massive hole in this Bucs secondary and Ronde Barber switching to safety and may be retiring can continue to diminish this secondary. Drafting a good talent like Banks can truly help out the Bucs.

14 - CAR: Star Lotulelei, DT, Utah
Carolina gets their guy that they probably wanted since the beginning of the year. Star currently is dealing with heart problems and missed the combine. At this point of the draft, the Panthers can possibly take the risk on him because of their mediocre DTs.

15 - NO: Dion Jordan, DE, Oregon
The Saints hired Rob Ryan which means that the Saints will change to a 3-4 so they need to draft some assets. Jordan would probably play OLB in this scheme which he would excel at.

16 - STL: Tavon Austin, WR, West Virginia
The Rams will probably let Amendola test free agency and Titus Young didn't even last 2 weeks. The Rams need a WR and Tavon Austin shows that lethal explosiveness that few have.

17 - PIT: Jarvis Jones, OLB, Georgia
James Harrison can become a cap casualty. The Steelers can keep everyone this season unless they do an extreme makeover but I doubt it. Jarvis Jones could have easily made it in the top 5 but his stock took a hit. The Steelers need to take advantage of selecting Jones to fit their 3-4 D.

18 - DAL: Kenny Vaccaro, SS, Texas
The Cowboys could choose Barron and Claiborne last year but now they can have a pretty solid safety in Vaccaro. The Cowboys secondary still needs that tweak.

19 - NYG: Sam Montgomery, DE, LSU
I know DE isn't a major asset but Sam Montgomery is a pretty solid prospect and can make some contributions to the the team. Also, Osi Umenyiora is entering free agency and Justin Tuck had a mediocre year.

20 - CHI: Keenan Allen, WR, California
The Bears need to find Jay Cutler a new friend. They would draft the next best OT but Fluker would be a reach. Keenan Allen would be a good opposite receiver to Marshall and could become a great dual threat.

21 - CIN: Alec Ogletree, ILB, Georgia
The Bengals should look to improve their linebacker position. Vontaze Burfict did better than expected but I think they can do better. Ogletree has had some issues but the Bengals would look at his talent more than his issues.

22 - STL: Barkevious Mingo, OLB, LSU
The Rams can continue to improve this young talented defense and can pick up a pretty good steal in Mingo, who is a pretty versatile d lineman

23 - MIN: DeAndre Hopkins, WR, Clemson
Percy Harvin can be waving good bye to the Vikings and moving to a new team. Jerome Simpson is not that dependable and the Vikings fail to have a deep WR core. Hopkins can be a reach but he is still an impressive prospect.

24 - IND: Jonathan Cooper, OG, North Carolina
The Colts seriously need to build their O-Line if they don't want Luck to keep on running out of the pocket. Their running game can also improve if they select the right OG. Jonathan Cooper can fall right into the Colts' O Line.

25 - SEA: Johnathan Hankins, DT, Ohio State
We all know the Seahawks have a nice dominant defense but they lack an interior defensive lineman. Hankins can anchor the middle of that young D-Line.

26 - GB: Zach Ertz, TE, Stanford
Jermichael Finley said he won't take a pay cut; plain and simple. If I were the Packers, I would "future endeavor" Finley and look for another TE. Ertz and Eifert is basically a "choose your poison situation so either of them would be a great pick. Anything is better than Tom Crabtree

27 - HOU: Kevin Minter, ILB, LSU
With no good WRs worth taking in the 1st round, the Texans should look to improve in the middle of their defense. Brian Cushing is just coming off of a devestating injury and Bradie James didn't do that much. I don't think the Texans would draft Te'o due to his problems both in the combine and the other thing. so Minter would be a good fit.

28 - DEN: Jonathan Jenkins, DT, Georgia
Jenkins is quite an underrated prospect. He had spectacular performances in college this year and the Broncos do need to improve on the middle of their D-Line. Derek Wolfe played more DE than DT so drafting Jenkins can intensify this defense.

29 - NE: Xavier Rhodes, CB, Florida State
The Patriots secondary was finally exposed in the game against the Ravens when Flacco was picking on Dennard. Aqib Talib also had to leave the game but I think the Pats still need to improve their secondary. Xavier Rhodes is a great hybrid player who can play corner and safety.

30 - ATL: Tyler Eifert, TE, Notre Dame
I'm sick of this Tony Gonzalez/Falcons/tight end drama. The Falcons just need to draft a TE and get it over with.

31 - SF: Jonathan Cyprien, SS, Florida International
Dashon Goldson and Donte Whitner both got torched by Joe Flacco in the Super Bowl. Both are good safeties but Whitner allowed more TDs than any safety and Goldson got franchise tagged. Cyprien is an interesting raw prospect and can help this secondary improve.

32 - BAL: Manti Te'o, ILB, Notre Dame
Ray Lewis is leaving a massive hole in the ILB position and I don't think Ellerbe or McClain can fill that void by themselves. I know this might not be the sexiest choice but Te'o should be drafted here. We know about his fake girlfriend incident and his poor draft combine performance but the Ravens need an ILB to develope.

Above Average -- You have to think like Ted Thompson. Finley will stay the only offensive position in the 1st will be OL. DE is # 1 need, then, SS,RB,DT,ILB. My guess is defense 1st round.

Above Average -- Pretty good although I think the Bears will go TE if all of the best LOT prospects are off the board.

Excellent -- In my opinion this is almost perfect HOWEVER Moore is not top 10, and Jordan shouldn't get out of the top 9. If Dion is there at 9 Jets will take him, but he could go as High as 2.
