1. Kansas City- Luke Joeckel, LT, Texas A&M- Really no surprise here. With no franchise QB available, Andy Reid plays it safe and picks Joeckel.
2. Jacksonville- Eric Fisher, LT, Central Michigan- Jacksonville's new regime invests in keeping Gabbert clean before they give up on him.
3. TRADE Arizona- Lane Johnson, LT, Oklahoma - Arizona freaks out with the top two tackles going 1 and 2, decide they need to protect Palmer and Oakland makes the smart move.
4. Philadelphia- Sharrif Floyd, DT, Florida- Chip Kelly waits and sees if Geno Smith will be available in the 2nd round.
5. Detroit-Ezekiel Ansah, DE, BYU- Lions get solid starter opposite Cliff Avril.
6. Cleveland Dee Milliner, CB, Alabama- Browns look to have one of the best corner tandems with Joe Haden and Dee Milliner
7. Oakland (receives AZ's 1st, 3rd and 5th) - Tavon Austin, WR/RB, West Virginia- Does this really surprise you? It's the Raiders.
8. Buffalo Ryan Nassib, QB, Syracuse- Marone decides to go with the guy who got him his job in Buffalo.
9. New York Jets Dion Jordan, DE/OLB, Oregon- Too good of value to pass up here.
10. Tennessee Star Lotulelei, DT, Utah- Tennesse thinks that Star will be Albert Haynesworth without the head stomps
11. San Diego- Jonathan Cooper, G, North Carolina- Philip Rivers has played poorly the past two seasons due to a poor offensive line. Cooper replaces Luis Vasquez.
12. Miami Justin Hunter, WR, Tennessee- Surprise here. Miami wants a big body opposite Mike Wallace and with Hunter shooting up draft boards, it might not be too big of a stretch.
13. New York Jets (from Tampa Bay)- Cordarrelle Patterson, WR, Tennesse- Teams always reach for skill players and with the top two WRs already gone, don't be surprise to see Marky Mark get another toy.
14. Carolina- Xavier Rhodes, CB, Florida State- Chris Gamble's retirement forces Carolina to go with a corner in the first.
15. New Orleans Sheldon Richardson, DT, Missouri- Best value for the Saints
16. St. Louis- Bjoern Werner, DE, Florida State- Solid starter opposite Chris Long
17. Pittsburgh- Kenny Vaccaro, S, Texas- Troy Polamalu is getting up there in age and Vaccaro would be a nice fit in Pittsburgh.
18. Dallas- Chance Warmack, G, Alabama- Our interior offensive line is a sieve.
19. New York Giants Alec Ogletree, LB, Georgia- Good value that fills a need.
20. Chicago Tyler Eifert, TE, Notre Dame- Cutler gets a new toy.
21. Cincinnati D.J. Fluker, G/T, Alabama- Can either make Andre Smith expendable or kick inside and play guard.
22. St. Louis (from Washington)- Nuke Hopkins, WR, Clemson[/B- Name a WR on the Rams roster. Rams need Nuke.
23. Minnesota Sylvester Williams, DT, North Carolina- Trying to build Williams Wall 2.0.
24. Indianapolis Tank Carradine, DE, Florida State- Tries to fill the gap that Dwight Freeney left.
25. Minnesota (from Seattle) Manti Te'o, LB, Notre Dame- all jokes aside, he would do well next to a Pro Bowl vet like Chad Greenway.
26. Green Bay Jarvis Jones, DE/OLB, Georgia- Great value here. has potential to start right away.
27. Houston Keenan Allen, WR, Cal- Another target for Matt Schaub.
28. Denver Jonathan Hankins, DT, Ohio State- Denver's 3-4 needs a big body like Hankins in the middle.
29. New EnglandDesmond Trufant, CB, Washington- Fills a need for the Pats.
30. Atlanta Binky Mingo, DE/OLB, LSU- Too many work ethic concerns slid him down the boards, but still a great value. Major steal.
31. San Francisco- Jonathan Cyprien, S, FIU- Cyprien flew up draft boards and the Niners take him after losing Dashon Goldson.
32. Baltimore Arthur Brown, LB, Kansas State- Impressed scouts at the combine with his football IQ, will help with the loss of Ellerbe and Ray Lewis.

There it is fellas. Let me hear it.

Not bad, not bad. Only picks I would argue would be Floyd to the Eagles and Hunter going that early. Floyd isn't the greatest fit for the 3-4 and they already have Fletcher Cox and Sopoaga for ends. And while Hunter may be shooting up boards theres just no way he goes in the top 15. 22 is the absolute earliest I could see him going. Good job other than that.

The Raiders move back four spots, pick up two extra picks and get
the most explosive playmaker in the draft? I'd say that's a damn good
move. Although I'd want a 2nd not a 3rd.

I thought I heard that Philadelphia wasn't going to a 3-4 under Kelly, or at least a hybrid. I probably misheard, if they don't pick Floyd, then I could see them taking Star and messing up my entire mock.

As for Hunter, I really think that team in the 10-18 range who needs a big bodied receiver will take him. I wouldn't be surprised if it's Miami because of the fact that they just got Wallace.
