This will be my first draft for this year. I did a bunch of them last year, and really enjoyed doing them. I meant to begin earlier in the season, but have been too busy with school. I've got a first round mock only for this week, but will try to do a two or three rounder next week. I love debate, so please feel free to argue a pick/give your insight on who the player selected should be. I used ESPN power rankings as the base for my draft order, but I mixed it up a little with my own idea of where each team will finish. Excuse any mistakes, I've put this together in my spare time the past few days, which is about 1 to 1:30 am.

1. St Louis Rams: Jimmy Clausen, Quarterback, Notre Dame

I think Clausen is currently the best all around quarterback in the upcoming draft. Locker could be possible here as well, but he is without a doubt more raw. Clausen doesn't have to start immediately, but the sooner the better. The Rams have nowhere to go but up, and need to start over. QB is the place to start.

2. Kansas City Chiefs: Russell Okung, Tackle, Oklahoma State

The Chiefs have one of the worst offensive lines in the league. I'm not a big Matt Cassell fan, but thats their guy, and I'd have to imagine they are sticking with him. If they plan on keeping him out of an assisted living retirement home, they may want to get him some protection. Okung is the best tackle in the draft... why not?

3. Detroit Lions: Ndamukong Suh, Defensive Tackle, Nebraska

This was the easiest pick to place. Every Lions fan I've talked to says this should be their guy if everything goes according to plan. I don't think the Lions can pass on this guy when their biggest need is the interior of their defensive line. 

4. Tampa Bay Buccaneers: Gerald McCoy, Defensive Tackle, Oklahoma

They need a lot of defensive line help, so Carlos Dunlap or even Arthur Jones could be an option here. However interior linemen have a lesser chance of busting, so the Bucs grab a safe pick in McCoy.

5. Cleveland Browns: Eric Berry, Safety/DB, Tennessee

The Browns have a weak secondary, especially at the safety position. Berry is one of the best, if not the best player in the draft. There is no way in my opinion he slips out of the top five, so the Browns take him. 

6. Oakland Raiders: Jake Locker, Quarterback, Washington

I just have a feeling the Raiders will cut Jamarcus lose after this season. I also have a feeling the Raiders will try again on this whole quarterback dilemma they have faced ever since the early 2000s. Jake Locker=Supposed sub 4.5 speed. Al Davis=Lover of all things fast. Locker + Davis=Raiders 2010 draft pick.

7. Buffalo Bills: Brian Bulaga, Tackle, Iowa

Trent Edwards seems to still be able to win. I'm sure the Bills would love to see him play without concussions, so they improve the o-line, the likely cause of those concussions.

8. Seattle Seahawks: Colt McCoy, Quarterback, Texas

The Seahawks know Hasselbeck is getting old, and could use a replacement. Bradford could be a possibility here, but I don't think he goes this high. McCoy should be their guy here. The 'hawks don't like to go vertical, and prefer short ball control passes. McCoy could have the greatest accuracy in the draft...

9. Washington Redskins: Sam Bradford, Quarterback, Oklahoma

Like I said above, I personally wouldn't take Bradford this high, but Snyder seems just crazy enough to do it. Jason Campbell is more than likely in his last season in Washington, so unless Colt Brennan is the QB of the future, Danny boy has to take somebody.

10. San Francisco 49ers(from Panthers): Ciron Black, Tackle, LSU

Here is a guy you won't see taken this high in many mocks. Argue with me all you want, but this guy is a mauler. Singletary will love him in the running game, and the niners are in need of offensive line help. This is the type of guy who has the potential to shoot up draft boards in the offseason leading up to the draft. Did anyone have Jason Smith going in the top five at the end of last football season?

11. Denver Broncos(from Bears): Taylor Mays, Safety, USC

The Broncos don't have any needs on offense, and no apparent ones on defense. Mays is pretty good value here, as he could show some versatility at the next level. Dawkins is old, so this pick is justified. Denver could also go d-line here as well.

12. New York Jets: Dez Bryant, Wide Receiver, Oklahoma State

No real first round worthy needs other than wide out. Bryant can only help Sanchez down the road.

13. Miami Dolphins: Rolando McClain, Linebacker, Alabama

The Dolphins have to like this guy. McClain is considered by many, including myself to be the best backer in the draft. The 3-4 is his definite strength, and Miami happens to run a 3-4.

14. San Francisco 49ers: Terrance Cody, Defensive Tackle, Alabama

San Fran takes another Bama player off the board. Cody is a monster inside. Would be a perfect building block to add to a 49ers defense that already has some nice pieces in place.

15. Tennessee Titans: Arthur Jones, Defensive Tackle, Syracuse

The Titans defense found out first hand how big a loss a player like Haynesworth can be. Jones can come in and start quickly and get that defensive line back to its 2008 form.

16. Jacksonville Jaguars: Morgan Burnett, Safety, Georgia Tech

I'm a big fan of this kid. It looks right now as if the Jags will convert back to the 4-3 next season, so linebackers are no longer a need should that hold true. Burnett improves the secondary the second he steps on the field, and can generate turnovers, something the Jaguars have struggled with defensively this season.

17. Green Bay Packers: Charles Brown, Tackle, USC

This may be a reach, it may prove not to be. Brown is a great athlete, and those tackles quickly disappear off the board. The Packers have a great young QB in Aaron Rodgers, but need to get him some protection before his health insurance drops him. A young tackle could make this offense truly dangerous. 

18. Houston Texans: Marvin Austin, Defensive Tackle, UNC

The Texans are still searching for that defensive line lineup to make their defense respectable league wide. Austin is a nice tackle with a lot of potential once he maxes out.

19. New York Giants: Brandon Spikes, Linebacker, Florida

Once again this was an easy one. Spikes upgrades any defense he steps on the field with.

20. Baltimore Ravens: Kyle Wilson, Cornerback, Boise State

The Ravens grab a super athlete to add to the defensive backfield. An athlete like this can only benefit from playing in the same backfield as Ed Reed.

21. San Diego Chargers: Brandon LaFell, Wide Receiver, LSU

The Chargers are set to lose a lot of receivers, including their bona fide playmaker Vincent Jackson, if I'm not mistaken. They can't retain them all; a solid receiver like LaFell could play any receiver spot and fill the hole left by at least one receivers departure.

22. Arizona Cardinals: Sean Lee, Linebacker, Penn State

The Cards need some help at linebacker. Lee is a pretty solid player who could play quickly if he adds weight to his frame.

23. Seattle Seahawks(From Broncos): Lee Ziemba, Tackle, Auburn

The Seahawks have a battered and old offensive line. An athletic and smart tackle like Siemba could be a great asset to begin restructuring upfront.

24. Philadelphia Eagles: Sean Witherspoon, Linebacker, Missouri

For some reason when I think of this guy, I imagine him in an Eagles uniform. 

25. Atlanta Falcons: Carlos Dunlap, Defensive End, Florida

His rawness dropped him this far, but the Falcons could get a steal here.

26. Dallas Cowboys: Greg Jones, Linebacker, Michigan State

The Cowboys could use help in the middle of their defensive front four. Its not an immediate need, but will be. Greg Jones is another player who will shoot up draft boards in the months leading up to the draft if he declares.

27. New England Patriots: Trevard Lindley, Cornerback, Kentucky

The Pats could use some secondary aide. Lindley could be the best man coverage corner in the draft. His zone has been said to be much improved this year however.

28. Pittsburgh Steelers: Joe Haden, Cornerback, Florida

A team makes the playoffs, suddenly they want them another cornerback. Haden and Lindley could go the other way around as well, they are both elite players.

29. Indianapolis Colts: Josh Bynes, Linebacker, Auburn

Bynes can play all three linebacker positions(mainly Mike) and could help the Colts out in the middle. Has good speed for the Tampa 2.

30. Minnesota Vikings: Javier Arenas, Cornerback, Alabama

Call me crazy, but you can never have enough cornerbacks. Arenas is a solid tackler, much like Antoine Winfield. Arenas brings physicality to the nickel spot/dime spot. Plus he adds immense special teams value, as if they didn't already have enough of that with Percy Harvin.

31. Cincinnati Bengals: Greg Hardy, Defensive End, Ole Miss

A young defense on the rise such as the Bengals can never have enough defensive ends. Hardy is a great all around end when he is going full speed. Marvin Lewis seems like a guy who you have to reward with good performance to get him to respect you as a player. 

32. New Orleans Saints: Brian Price, Defensive Tackle, UCLA

The Saints losing Sedrick Ellis to nagging injuries showed them how vulnerable they are without him. They grab another gap shooting tackle who could penetrate backfields. The Saints could also look at Arrelious Benn here, because they have some needs at receiver...
