Kansas City (2-14) - Luke Joeckel, OT
After going back and forth with the decision, KC rolls with Joeckle - who has a little more tape against top competition and is a little younger than Fisher.
Jacksonville (2-14) - Dion Jordan, DE/OLB
Jags fall in love with the Jordan's athleticism in a search for a dynamic pass rusher.
Oakland (4-12) - Sharrif Floyd, DT
Oakland needs a lot of defensive line help, and Floyd fits the bill.
Philadelphia (4-12) - Geno Smith, QB
The chances of this happening are very slim, but with Eagles players referring to mini camp as a "track meet", I don't think they trust the system to Vick or Foles. They can probably flip the latter for some high picks at some point as they did with Kolb.
Detroit (4-12) - Eric Fisher, OT
Detroit is overjoyed to see Fisher land in their laps.
Cleveland (5-11) - Dee Milliner, CB
It's time to finally move on from Sheldon brown. Milliner starting opposite Haden makes for a fearsome 1-2 punch.
Arizona (5-11) - Lane Johnson, OT
Arizon's line is awful, they have no greater need and opportunity knocks.
Buffalo (6-10) - Ezekiel Ansah, DE
They could reach for Nassib or even Barkley, but I think they wait for the second and hope he's there.
New York Jets (6-10) - Barkevious Mingo, OLB
They need a dynamic pass rusher and word is Rex loves him some Mingo.
Tennessee (6-10) - Star Lotulelei, DT
A lot of mocks have a guard slotted here, but I can't see it. Tennessee traditionally favors defensive studs and they have the 8th pick in the 2nd round to address guard.
San Diego (7-9) - Tavon Austin, WR
I think Tavon's going to go early, and while San Diego has needs on the offensive line, I think they'd love to keep some pop in their passing game after seeing Alexander flash last season. Something they missed without Vincent Jackson.
Miami (7-9) - Xavier Rhodes, CB
With none of the Top LT's left on the board, I think Miami turns their attention to defense and looks to add either a pass rusher or a corner.
Tampa Bay (7-9) - Desmond Trufant, CB
Tampa would probably prefer Rhodes over Trufant, but I have a feeling they just might end up throwing this pick into a package for Revis.
Carolina (7-9) - Sheldon Richardson, DT/DE
DT has been a need for the Panthers over the last couple of drafts, and they finally address it.
New Orleans (7-9) - Kenny Vaccaro, SS/FS
Roman Harper makes way, way more money than he's worth and is a prime candidate to be cut sooner rather than later.
St. Louis (7-8-1) - Cordarrelle Patterson, WR
Having seen Austin go early, they panic and pull the trigger on Patterson who has some major flaws but is an undeniable physical talent.
Pittsburgh (8-8)- Jarvis Jones, OLB
I think the Steelers would be very pleased to see Jones available, they currently have Jason Worlids slated to start in James Harrison's old spot - the guy has 10 sacks in his entire 4 year career.
Dallas (8-8) - Jonathan Cooper, OG
And so it's come to this. The Cowboys have their pick at guard after all and take the more versatile Cooper, especially with guys like Vacarro, Richardson, Austin, etc already off the board.
New York Giants (9-7) - Tyler Eifert, TE
The Giants could take Fluker, having signed David Diehl to just a one year deal but they currently have Brandon Myers slated as their starting TE. Who? Exactly. They can attempt to address tackle in the 2nd anyway.
Chicago (10-6) - Chance Warmack, OG
Warmack to Chicago is a match made in heaven, he fits that city, that system and that team to a T.
Cincinnati (10-6) - D.J. Fluker, OT
The Bengals and Andre Smith are nowhere close to having a deal, so they move on and grab Fluker late in the 1st.
St. Louis - from Washington (10-6) - Jonathan Cyprien, SS
Cyprien has better size and better ball skills than Eric Reid, which raises him to the first round.
Minnesota (10-6) - Sylvester Williams, DT
They could take a WR here to pair with Jennings, but having just restructured long time DT Kevin Williams' contract to make him a FA after this year, I don't think they'd be shy about taking Sly.
Indianapolis (11-5) - Robert Woods, WR
They surprised everyone with an 11 win season last year and they'll continue putting pieces around Luck.
Minnesota - from Seattle (11-5) - Manti Te'o, ILB
The Vikings come right back and add another young talent to their aging front 7. Manti lands in a small media town where he'll have a better chance at avoiding the big lights while he gets acclimated.
Green Bay (11-5) - Eddie Lacy, RB
Packers played musical chairs at RB all of last year, I think they'd be pleased to get a workhorse in there.
Houston (12-4) - DeAndre Hopkins, WR
It's time they got someone in here to learn and eventually take over for Andre Johnson. It won't be easy, but Hopkins is a good prospect that could give them immediate depth at the very least.
Denver (13-3) - Datone Jones, DE
The Broncos currently have Robert Ayers slated to start opposite Derek Wolfe and I don't see how they'd be willing to start the season with that being the case.
New England (12-4) - Margus Hunt, DE
New England does what New England does. Draft a player they like and say screw the world if they disagree.
Atlanta (13-3) - Bjoern Werner, DE
DE is a major need for Atlanta. They might choose to start the season with Massaquoi opposite Osi, but even so, they could use some more help.
San Francisco (11-4-1) - Eric Reid, FS
The 49ers are one of those teams I fully expect to make a move up this year. If Vacarro gets within range, I think they'd go get him.
Baltimore (10-6) - Kevin Minter, ILB
Minter isn't going to replace Ray Lewis, but they certainly need some help at ILB and Minter is a gamer.

So there you have it. I'm sure I missed some obvious, highly regarded player but these are all in good fun.
Happy to hear comments, of course.
