The Bucs wind up with the number one overall pick and the Glazer family must be wondering if they made the right decision in sacking Jon Gruden. This team needs a complete overhaul and they start by adding a playmaker on the defensive line. Ndamukong Suh not only has one of the coolest names in the draft but also one of the biggest game changers.
Steve Spagnuolo's Rams have looked as bad as the '08 version at times this year and look to be headed to the #2 pick once again. This year they seriously need to address their quarterback position and they should have their pick of all the signal callers. Here, they draft Notre Dame's Jimmy Clausen to be the future of their franchise.
The Titans are probably one of the best winless teams ever though some of their performances have been nothing short of woeful. However, the chance to pick up local favorite Eric Berry would be way too much for them to pass up. This kid instantly upgrades the Titans secondary.
Despite the carousel at quarterback that the Browns have experienced so far this year, that won't be the first way they look in the draft. Instead, upgrading on their defensive line needs to be the priority and drafting Gerald McCoy will give them an immediate upgrade over Corey Williams who has not performed well in the 3-4.
Seems like we're in a new season and yet the Chiefs problems remain the same as always. Once again we think they should focus on their offensive line and pick up franchise tackle Russell Okung. They invested heavily in their franchise quarterback and now they need to keep him upright - a job which Okung will relish.
Just like the Chiefs above them, the Lions invested in their franchise quarterback last offseason and must now look to protect him. Trent Williams would almost instantly become Matt Stafford's best friend.
With Jim Mora Jr. at the helm and with the roster in a state of flux, there are a number of ways the Seahawks could go here. However, Matt Hasselbeck looks to be past it and Jake Locker is more the style of QB that Mora likes.
Whoever the new Head Coach ends up being is going to want their own quarterback, especially if they've been watching Jason Campbell play this season. Colt McCoy becomes the 3rd QB to be drafted in the top 10 and probably gets set to start as a rookie.
I thought about looking for the fastest 40 time in our top 100 and putting that guy here, but then I decided to try and take the Raiders seriously. Here, they add a pass rushing threat to go alongside Richard Seymour and draft Derrick Morgan, a man who knows how to get to the quarterback.
Let's face it, the T.O. experiment isn't going to last and while the Bills still have Lee Evans, they need someone to work opposite him. James Hardy hasn't stepped it up so the Bills call Dez Bryant's name.
This pick comes to the 9ers from Carolina who gave it up to draft Everette Brown last year. San Francisco use it to their advantage and pick up Taylor Mays who will upgrade their secondary immediately.
Miami have identified their QB of the future in Chad Henne but now they need to improve his supporting cast. In this mock, they do just that by adding Arrelious Benn who can make plays for them and work opposite Ted Ginn Jr.
A.J. Smith recently came and called out his team's defense and it is undoubtedly that unit which needs looking at. Drafting Brandon Spikes at this point gives them an enforcer in the middle of their D and reinforces their linebacking group.
While Steve Slaton is proving to be a more than capable NFL back, the vast majority of good teams nowadays have at least 2 quality backs. With that in mind the Texans bring in Jahvid Best to provide them with a quality 1-2 punch.
I am openly a huge critic of Tim Tebow and I don't think his style will be suited to the NFL. However, Jaguars owner Wayne Weaver disagrees and has publicly said he'd want Tebow on his team - and so it happens. Besides, David Garrard has hardly blown people away this year has he?
The Ravens have a huge need at cornerback as they keep giving up plays in the secondary and have one of the worst pass D's in the league. With that in mind, and only 1 CB with a first round grade, they grab Kentucky's Trevard Lindley with both hands.
Rex Ryan's organised chaos defense has had some success so far this year but everyone knows that there are still upgrades that need to be made. Here they draft Carlos Dunlap to provide an upgrade on the defensive line.
The Cardinals made it all the way to the Super Bowl last year despite their lack of a franchise LT and they opted not to address it last offseason either. Well, its time up for them now as they really need to, and with Ciron Black still on the board there's no way they can pass.
Roy Williams hasn't lived up to the hype and definitely hasn't paid back the worth the Cowboys gave up for him. Then, with 2 late round picks mixing it up for the other starting role, its obvious that they need to address this. In Brandon LaFell they'll be getting one heck of a possession receiver who should be pro-ready coming out of LSU's system.
A lot has been made of the fact that Aaron Rodgers is the most sacked QB in the NFL this year. The blame has been placed at the door of both Rodgers and the offensive line, but what about the running game? The Packers simply haven't had one and that means they've become one dimensional. Adding Jonathan Dwyer here will give them a rushing threat and help in the passing game too.
This pick comes to Denver from the Jay Cutler trade with Chicago and at this point they couldn't be happier. For a team still in the process of moving to a 3-4 defense having an elite NT still on the board is like a dream come true. Terrence Cody will plug the middle of their defensive line for 10+ years.
While Shaun Hill is proving to be a good stop-gap quarterback there's no doubt that Mike Singletary would like to have his own guy at the position. Jevan Snead has looked a little off the pace this year for Ole Miss but there's no doubting his potential and arm strength.
The Eagles have had 2 MLBs sent to IR this year and would like a young player to step into this role. Rolando McClain has been the leader of Alabama's defense for the last 2 years and would provide a hard-hitting presence in the middle of the Eagles defense.
The Bengals have been many people's surprise team so far this year and picking this late will have many fans feeling a bit dizzy. The Bengals could use a good DT to play alongside Domata Peko, so Arthur Jones would be a great pick here.
The Steelers still have problems on the offensive line, but the chance to have Polamalu and Kam Chancellor as their starting safties would be too much to pass up.
Another match made in heaven right here as the 3-4 defense of the Patriots which lacks an elite pass rusher meets Eric Norwood the South Carolina 3-4 OLB who leads the SEC in sacks and TFLs this year.
The Falcons really need a top-end cornerback but with none available they look to their linebackers and select Sean Weatherspoon to be the eventual replacement for Mike Peterson. This will give the rookie a chance to learn from the veteran before being asked to step in.
The Giants offensive line is still as solid as ever but Shaun O'Hara will be 33 by next year and possibly on the downside of his career. With that in mind, the Giants add Kristofer O'Dowd to be his replacement.
This might be a bit of a reach for Sam Young but the Colts desperately need an upgrade at both offensive tackle spots and having Young step in at one of those would help this line. Besides, they need to keep their prized asset as healthy as possible.
Gregg Williams' new defense has shone brightly this year despite only having a couple of personnel upgrades from the '08 version. However, adding a hard-hitting 3 down linebacker in Sergio Kindle would give the Saints an upgrade at the Sam position.
This pick comes to the Seahawks from the Broncos, who traded up for Alphonso Smith last year. The 'Hawks use it to improve their running game as Julius Jones doesn't have the look of a starting back anymore and Edgerrin James is was past his prime.
The preseason #1 overall pick falls all the way to the bottom of the round and the Vikings are delighted. Sam Bradford's shoulder injury has seen his stock fall a bit and the Vikings need a successor to Brett Favre since it appears Tavaris Jackson is not their guy.
