Luke Joeckel T Texas A&M Adam Teicher This is an excellent chance for the Chiefs to secure their franchise ILB, S 1. Kansas City Star for the long term. DT Florida Vito Stellino The Jaguars are desperate to upgrade their defensive line so Floyd would QB, RT, DB 2. Florida Times-Union be a good fit, especially with no franchise QBs available in this draft. CB Alabama Bill Williamson The Raiders would jump on Floyd here if available but they need talent S, DL, OL, TE 3. ESPN.com at . Milliner would be a great start Eric Fisher T Central Michigan Dave Spadaro A strong offseason has solidified Fisher’s stock and the Eagles could use CB, WR, DL 4. Philadelphiaeagles.com another piece for an offensive line that was decimated by injury in 2012. Ziggy Ansah DE BYU Chris McCosky The Lions choice here will be between the best pass rusher on the board T, CB, WR, DT 5. Detriot News and the third best left tackle. In this scenario, it’s an easy call. QB West Virginia Mary Kay Cabot Not sure if the Browns would go with the quarterback here but if they WR, DL, DB 6. Cleveland Plain Dealer don’t somebody else will. G Alabama Darren Urban At this point the Cardinals seem headed for an offensive lineman, and while OLB, S, OL 7. azcardinals.com tackle would be nice, Warmack has a chance to be a long-time Pro Bowler. E.J. Manuel QB Florida State Chris Brown Despite the addition of Kevin Kolb the Bills still need a long-term future LB, CB, WR 8. Buffalobills.com QB. Manuel has flaws, but fantastic physical tools and intangibles. 9. OLB Oregon Rich Cimini The Jets desperately need an edge rusher for their pass rush, which needs G, TE, RB ESPNNewYork.com an upgrade — especially if their best defender is traded. 10. OLB LSU Jim Wyatt The Titans ignored pass rushing help in free agency, so Mingo would fill G, C, CB The Tennessean a remaining need. 11. T Oklahoma Michael Gehlken Philip Rivers hasn’t been protected well for years and the selection of DB, DL, WR San Diego Union Tribue Johnson should help correct that. 12. WR West Virginia Ben Volin The Dolphins still could use more playmakers to help , and T, CB, TE, DE Palm Beach Post race to the podium to grab Austin, the most electrfying player in the draft. 13. CB Florida State Pat Yasinskas Bucs have a desperate need at CB after ranking last in pass defense. Even DT, OLB, TE ESPN.com if they trade for Darrelle Revis, they need to add more than one CB. 14. DT Pat Yasinskas Panthers haven’t had much of a presence in the middle of the line since CB, S, WR, T ESPN.com Kris Jenkins departed after the 2007 season. Richardson would fix that. 15. LB Georgia Pat Yasinskas Would give the Saints some much-needed athleticism at OLB as they make T, DT, CB ESPN.com the switch to a 3-4 defense with new coordinator . 16. S Florida Howard Balzer Both starting safeties from 2012, Quintin Mikell and Craig Dahl, are gone WR, RB, DT The Sports Xchange/101sports.com and this is the best value with Tavon Austin off the board. 17. D. J. Fluker T Alabama Aaron Wilson They could use a tackle and like Alabama players. Fluker is a road-grader, OL, TE, LB Baltimore Sun and would be a nice fit in AFC North, as would G . 18. Jonathan Cooper G North Carolina Todd Archer The Cowboys need all the help they can get on the offensive line and S, DL, WR ESPNDallas.com Cooper would be just the second first-round OL since Jerry Jones took over. 19. Bjoern Werner DE Florida State Ralph Vacchiano With Osi Umenyiora gone and Justin Tuck on a downward spiral, the Giants LB, OL, CB New York Daily News need a young pass rusher to take some pressure off Jason Pierre-Paul. 20. CB Washington Brad Biggs GM Phil Emery has put the pick up for sale, announcing he wants to trade LB, G Chicago Tribune down. If Bears stay put, look for them to add a building block on defense. 21. S Texas Geoff Hobson Bengals look to shore up secondary for a developing defense and Vaccaro LB, OL, DB Bengals.com could be a step in that direction. 22. DT Utah Howard Balzer Rams would be thrilled if Lotulelei drops this far. Assuming his heart issue RB, WR, CB The Sports Xchange/101sports.com is not a concern, he would be a steal at this point. 23. WR Tennessee Mel Kiper Vikings badly need a WR and in Patterson they get maybe the highest-upside WR, LB, DB ESPN.com projection on the board. Patterson is electric with the ball in his hands. 24. Keenan Allen WR California Mike Chappell The Colts would love to add some weapons for Andrew Luck and Allen is DL, CB, S Indianapolis Star as well-rounded a receiver as there is in this draft. 25. LB LSU Mel Kiper Vikings have a huge need at middle and Minter could step in WR, LB, DB ESPN.com and play immediately. Manti T’eo and are possibilities as well. 26. Margus Hunt DE SMU Bill Huber The Packers are looking for length up front and the 6-8 native of Estonia S, TE, WR Packer Report provides that and a lot of upside — not to mention 17 blocked kicks. 27. DeAndre Hopkins WR Clemson John McClain The Texans desperately need some weapons on offense and Hopkins will T, OLB, ILB Houston Chronicle take some of the pressure off an aging Andre Johnson. 28. D.J. Hayden CB Houston Mel Kiper Hayden has shot up draft boards thanks to some excellent pre-draft RB, DL, S ESPN.com workouts and the Broncos will jump at the chance to improve secondary. 29. DE UCLA PFW Staff A bit of a ’tweener but his upside could cause the Patriots to take a look. WR, CB, DT Jones isn’t a pure pass rusher but he can be effective in that role. 30. OL Oregon Mel Kiper Long is a very good athlete with power who gives the Falcons options with DE, OL, TE ESPN.com his experience playing guard and tackle. 31. S LSU Rob Rang The Niners still need some help in the secondary even with the acquisition DL, CB. TE NFLDraftScout.com of Nnamdi Asmougha and Reid should help replace Dashon Goldson 32. Alec Ogletree LB Georgia Aaron Wilson The Ravens lost some personnel on defense but Ozzie Newsome is used LB, OL, S Baltimore Sun to replenishing through the draft. Ogletree is the next in a long line.
