Analysis |
| 1. |
|
Gerald McCoy |
Defensive Tackle |
Oklahoma |
Even though it will be tempting for the Rams to go with the franchise QB (Clausen), the secure route is with McCoy.

Ndamukong Suh |
Defensive Tackle |
Nebraska
|
While the Lions biggest need would be an offensive lineman, I see them going with another pressing need, DT. The DT and LT positions are the biggest needs for the Lions going into this year’s draft. With the better performance from the offense in ’09, look for the Lions to draft more for the defensive side.

|
Eric Berry
|
Safety |
Tennessee |
The Buccaneers’ defensive secondary has seen some success with players Aqib Talib and Sabby Piscitelli. Berry can make this good secondary even better. Add to that, Jermaine Phillips’ arrest and domestic battery charge.

|
Jimmy Clausen
|
Quarterback |
Notre Dame |
Jason Campbell is a free agent and Jim Zorn is gone. Mike Shanahan will draft his franchise QB.
|
| 5. |
|
Russell Okung |
Offensive Tackle |
Oklahoma State |
Branden Albert has not been the answer at left tackle. Drafting Okung will give KC a stud left tackle and allow Albert to move to either right tackle (where he’s a better fit) or guard.

|
C.J. Spiller
|
Running Back
|
Clemson
|
Ever since the Seahawks lost Shaun Alexander, their running game has been mediocre at best.
|
| 7. |
|
Charles Brown
|
Offensive Tackle
|
Southern Cal
|
Since the Browns finished their season with four wins, they should give Brady Quinn another shot. But it would be good for the Browns to sure up their offensive line some.
|

|
Taylor Mays |
Free Safety |
Southern Cal
|
Al Davis, the kook that he is, loves athletic defensive backs. No way does he pass up an athletic freak like Mays.
|

|
Sam Bradford |
Quarterback |
Oklahoma |
I haven’t been happy with the quarterback position in Buffalo the last couple of years, and I’m not even a Bills fan.
|

(CHI) |
Rolando McClain |
Linebacker |
Alabama |
Denver needs a solid linebacker next to D.J. Williams. Rolando McClain is the best ILB in the draft…Maybe Josh McDaniels should also get his Napoleon Complex checked before he benches his best offensive player on the eve of a game that would have gotten them into the playoffs.
|
| 11. |
|
Tim Tebow |
Quarterback |
Florida
|
Make note…The Jags owner WANTS Tebow, and rumors have been consistent that he will land in Jacksonville for over a month. David Garrard is an average-at-best quarterback. Tim Tebow needs some work to transition from the college ranks to the NFL. In the meantime, this move will help the Jaguars’ ticket sales.
|
| 12. |
|
Dez Bryant |
Wide Receiver |
Oklahoma State
|
Chad Henne has shown a lot of promise as a passer for the Dolphins, but he lacks a true No. 1 wide reeciver. Bryant has the size, hands, and explosion to be a No. 1 receiver in the NFL.
|
| 13. |
|
Trent Williams |
Offensive Tackle
|
Oklahoma |
Improving the offensive line will lead to better performance from the quarterback.
