saunders_md's Mock Draft (Round 1)

1 - KC: Luke Joeckel, OT, Texas A&M
BPA fills a need

2 - JAX: Sharrif Floyd, DT, Florida
Floyd is everything they hoped Alualu would be

3 - OAK: Bjoern Werner, DE, Florida State
DE is a black hole in Oakland

4 - PHI: Dee Milliner, CB, Alabama
DRC gone and Nnmadi one foot out the door

5 - DET: Eric Fisher, OT, Central Michigan
Backus will be 36 next season

6 - CLE: Geno Smith, QB, West Virginia
Rumor is new HC Chudzinskli isnt sold on Weeden

7 - ARI: Lane Johnson, OT, Oklahoma
LT has been a need for ARI for a long time

8 - BUF: Dion Jordan, DE, Oregon
Mark Anderson was a major disappointment. Jordan's skill set compliment Mario Williams very well

9 - NYJ: Cordarrelle Patterson, WR, Tennessee
The Jets need playmakers

10 - TEN: Chance Warmack, OG, Alabama
Guards traditionally dont go in the top 10 but Warmack is a rare talent

11 - SD: Jarvis Jones, OLB, Georgia
The top OT's are off the board and Shaun Phillips is a FA

12 - MIA: Ezekiel Ansah, DE, BYU
Need more of a pass rush and Odrick can slide inside to 3 tech

13 - TB: Xavier Rhodes, CB, Florida State
Solid 40 time cements his stock

14 - CAR: Star Lotulelei, DT, Utah
If health problems arent serious, CAR gets a steal

15 - NO: Barkevious Mingo, OLB, LSU
With the 34 switch, Mingo is a great fit

16 - STL: Jonathan Cooper, OG, North Carolina
Bradford needs protection

17 - PIT: Kenny Vaccaro, SS, Texas
PIT is old on D. Ryan Clark can be upgraded with a young stud

18 - DAL: Datone Jones, DE, UCLA
Switch to 43, Jones is an ideal SDE

19 - NYG: Sheldon Richardson, DT, Missouri
Need difference maker in the middle

20 - CHI: Desmond Trufant, CB, Washington
Jennings and Tillman are gray beards

21 - CIN: D.J. Fluker, OT, Alabama
Andre Smith is a FA and Michael Johnson is getting the franchise tag

22 - STL: Tyler Eifert, TE, Notre Dame
Solidified top TE spot with great combine

23 - MIN: Tavon Austin, WR, West Virginia
Hesitated mocking a small WR to Min with Harvin and Wright already on the team. However Ponder doesnt have great arm strength and Austin is more than capable of taking plenty of those dinks and dunks to the end zone

24 - IND: Damontre Moore, DE, Texas A&M
Poor combine leads to big drop. Freeney is gone and Moore is a much better fit in a 34

25 - SEA: Keenan Allen, WR, California
Wilson gets a #1 WR

26 - GB: Kevin Minter, ILB, LSU
Hawk can be upgraded

27 - HOU: Johnathan Hankins, DT, Ohio State
Adding Hankins in between Smith and Watt gives Hou the best 3 man front in the league

28 - DEN: Kawann Short, DT, Purdue
Versatile DT fills a need for DEN

29 - NE: Johnthan Banks, CB, Mississippi State
Talib is a FA and McCourty seemed like a natural at safety

30 - ATL: Alex Okafor, DE, Texas
With the release of Abraham, the pass rush in ATL is anemic

31 - SF: Matt Elam, SS, Florida
Golson is a FA and Elam tenacity fits in great with SF

32 - BAL: Robert Woods, WR, USC
Boldin is aging and Jacoby Jones is inconsistent
