Ndamukong Suh, DT, Nebraska
Tampa just bailed on Gaines Adams, which was dumb, and needs to find some talent to stop the run and collapse the pocket.
Sam Bradford, QB, Oklahoma
Bradford should stay in school to prove he is fully healthy, but there isn't much competition this year to be the top QB and his potential is worth a gamble (although this is a huge gamble at 2). STL goes from one injury plagued guy to another.
Eric Berry, S, Tennessee
The Browns have needs everywhere, and don't be surprised if Quinn is shipped out this off-season and a QB is drafted. Berry is the best player in the draft possibly and would help their young secondary.
Russell Okung, T, Oklahoma St.
It is sad to see Millen not here anymore, now you have to think of a position other than WR to address. Okung is a stud blocker and would help Kevin Smith find the second level again.
Jimmy Clausen, QB, Notre Dame
I don't know if Clausen should go this high, but Snyder wants Campbell gone and usually looks to take a splash player.
Trent Williams, T, Oklahoma
KC needs O-Line help if they are ever going to have a consistant offense again. LJ looks like he is done, so look for a RB in round 2 or 3, but Williams is an immediate improvement over O'Callaghan and that is what KC needs to do, replace your worst starters and create depth on the lines.
Taylor Mays, S, USC
I know that three of the four DBs were pro bowlers last year, but they are playing like practice squad guys this year. Mays is an unbelievable athlete and gives TEN some fresh blood in a secondary that looks complacent.
Carlos Dunlap, DE, Florida
Although they drafted Maybin last year, DE is still a weak spot. Kelsay has been underproductive for years, and Schobel is well past his prime. Maybin also has the size and athleticism to move to a rush OLB spot if needed. Regardless, Dunlap is a value at 8, and Buffalo's problem has been pressure for the last two years.
Terrence Cody, DT, Alabama
SF is a team on the rise, QB may be worth a look, but Hill has done nothing but win. He reminds me of a youger Delhomme. Cody would stop the run and open things up for Willis and co. behind him.
Everson Griffin, DE, USC
Griffin is not usually being mentioned this high, but he has size and ability similar to Mario Williams. He is a freak when it comes to size, speed, and strength, and it will show at the combine and other scouting events. Harvey and Groves are disapointments, Ellison (a former castoff from several teams) is starting, and Del Rio has said that the Colts can only be beaten by pressuring Peyton Manning.
Gerald McCoy, DT, Oklahoma
Ferguson is celebrating his 80th birthday next week, and Parcell's D does not work without a big run stuffer in the middle. If Cody fell, he would fit better, but McCoy is a great consolation prize. Don't expect MIA to draft a QB in the second round for the fourth straight year (Beck,Henne,White).
Jahvid Best, RB, California
Seattle's team has been irrelevant since Alexander left. Best has explosive ability, and has great hands. There hasn't been a RB step into that top spot yet in college, I am guessing Best will.
Joe Harden, CB, Florida
Dunta Robinson is a solid corner, but his injuries leave the Texans shorthanded. Fred Bennett, and the other CBs are all backups and nickle backs. Harden is the top CB in the draft,if he enters, and could be a lock down type player.
Ciron Black, T, LSU
I believe the Raiders will be drafting quite a bit higher, but I forgot they were still in the NFL until now. With Davis, who knows? I am guessing they are scouting a guy out of Janesville School for the Blind who runs a 4.3 40 and is a WR prospect.
Jake Locker, QB, Washington
As I mentioned earlier, Hill has done nothing but win. However, Locker is too talented to last any longer and could learn under Hill for while as the team develops.
Greg Hardy, DE, Mississippi
Ellis is getting old, and Douglas is more of a rotational backup. Hardy can pressure the passer, and has the size to stay in and stop the run.
Dez Bryant, WR, Oklahoma St.
A top quality athlete and WR with some off-field issues; sounds like the perfect fit for Jones. Austin had one huge game, Williams is a disapointment, and everyone else is just good for holding the bench down.
Brandon Spikes, LB, Florida
SD should trade up to grab one of the top DTs, and would like to get a pass-rushing OLB to replace Merriman who is likely to leave, but Spikes is a huge value this late and the MLBs in SD have been a disapointment. Spikes may have to begin his career outside, or push Burnett to the bench.
Sergio Kindle, LB, Texas
Okeafor, Berry, Haggins, and Hayes are all older and have not made enough plays. Kindle is athletic enough to play any LB spot, however a complement to DRC or an O-Lineman may be wise as well.
Rolando McClain, LB, Alabama
Baltimore collects players with the last name McClain, and he also fits thier style and need. McClain is a stud LB with more upside than Gooden, J.McClain, Barnes, and J.Johnson. He would compliment Lewis perfectly and could take over as the emotional leader when Lewis leaves.
Bryan Bulaga, T/G, Iowa
The interior of the line is Livings, Cook, and Bobbie Williams. Bulaga could play outside or move to G for a little bit. However, Whitworth has experience at G and Bulaga is a more athletic fit to replace him at T. Pairing him with A.Smith would give CIN some bookends for years.
Trevard Lindlay, CB, Kentucky
What GB really needs is some OL, but there are none left worth this pick. They have been neglecting their depth at CB, and Woodson and Harris will eventually break down.
Colt McCoy, QB, Texas
Seattle stikes gold by getting McCoy this late. He is a franchise QB and can wait a year while watching Hasselbeck struggle to survive another season.
Sean Weatherspoon, LB, Clemson
The Eagles don't have the notable LBs that we are used to seeing. Weatherspoon would be an upgrade over Akeem Jordan and Chris Gocong. And if Bradley doesn't return to form, Gaither has experience in the middle.
Brandon LaFell, WR, LSU
ATL could use a better threat opposite White than Jenkins. Benn would also be a good pick, but his skills are too similar to those of White. LaFell has the hands and size to fit the role of posession reciever better, which would open "Hot Roddy" up for big plays.
Jermaine Gresham, TE, Oklahoma
The Giants don't have many holes; which allows them to gamble on a player that has top ten ability. Boss is adequate, and Beckum has potential, so they can wait for Gresham to get healthy and aquainted with the offense.
Vincent Oghobaase, DE, Duke
Denver's reshuffled new D-line has done a good job so far, but they could use more guys to rotate in, and have no true difference makers on the line. O-Go has good size to hold the corner, which can help keep blockers off of the blitzing Dumervil.
George Selvie, OLB/DE, South Florida
Fujita and Shanle have been solid, but unspectacular. They have little depth behind them at OLB. There is also little depth behind Grant and Smith at DE. They are good players, but are expensive and have had some injury issues. There is very little depth behind them also (J.Charleston and B.McCray).
Charles Brown, T, USC
You must be tough to put up with a name like Charlie Brown. That is the type of guy that Pit loves. They have some issues alont their line, and a few guys whose deals are up.
Jonathan Dwyer, RB, Georgia Tech
Dwyer fits the system in NE perfect. He can do all the things they are currently doing with a combination of Morris, Faulk, Taylor, and Maroney. NE like versitility, so it cannot bode well that all their RBs are specialists who lack consistancy and the ability to stay healthy.
Tim Tebow, QB, Florida
Why not? Farve will play for another year after this year, and Tebow has the leadership skills to relpace him. With AP, he will not need to worry about his throwing much because the box is always stacked. This would be a better version of Culpepper when he was in his prime and healthy.
DeMarcus Granger, DT, Oklahoma
Doesn't it always seem like Indy needs DT help? Well, this year they finally address it. Granger is not as big as McCoy, who will go high, but he is quick and strong. He would be an automatic starter and is a value this late.
