1.) Miami Dolphins - Vernon Gholston, DE/LB Ohio State

Bill Parcells always builds the defense first and this time around will be no different. Some thought Chris Long might be the pick. Even though he played the 3-4 DE in college, he doesn't fit the 3-4 end position in the pros as well as Vernon fits the 3-4 rush linebacker position. I am sure The Tuna takes no satisfaction in the fact that this is who Belicheat covets too.
2.) St. Louis Rams - Chris Long, DE Virginia

Most of you guys don't even know who Clifton Ryan is, but everyone should remember Adam Carriker from last year's 1st round. Both were rookies and together they combined to form a very good DT tandem. They also have Claude Wroten and Victor Adeyanju to round out this youthful but talented group. Now they have Chris Long too!? The Rams couldn't be more ecstatic about where this defense is headed.
3.) Atlanta Falcons - Jake Long, OT Michigan

Arthur Blank lost a boatload of cash on Mike Vick. Matt Ryan, Glenn Dorsey and Darren McFadden were all possibilities here, but none of them are the safest bets in the world for the Atlanta Falcons. An Irish quarterback in Hotlanta (who isn't exactly guaranteed success right away) isn't exactly the most marketable choice. Glenn Dorsey has some very real injury concerns and Darren McFadden's off-field problems is the last thing Arthur Blank and this franchise need. Jake Long is a football player and about as safe of a selection as you can make in this draft.
4.) Oakland Raiders - Darren McFadden, RB Arkansas

No brainer for Al Davis and the rest of the ******s in that organization. Not saying that Darren isn't going to be a great back, but it's Oakland for Christ's sake. They're bound to **** up no matter who they pick. It's their destiny.
5.) Kansas City Chiefs - Glenn Dorsey, DT LSU

Herm Edwards is smiling ear to ear. If this kid stays healthy, Herm has a dline that is just plain scary. I can't wait to see him and Tamba holding court!
6.) New York Jets - Leodis McKelvin, CB Troy
They play in the same division we do and need to be able to match up with Brady, Moss, Welker and company. Paired with last year's pick Revis, Leodis will more than help to level the playing field.
7.) New England Patriots - Ryan Clady, OT Boise State
I can see the Patriots dumping this pick to whoever would be willing to part with their 2rd round pick this year and their 1st round pick next year. Teams are onto the Patriots however, so they are stuck having to make a selection. Did anyone else notice Brady getting ***** slapped all over the field by the Giants? I can promise you that the Patriots organization did. They need to protect their crown jewel at all costs. Clady could be their Jason Peters in a year or two.
8.) Baltimore Ravens - Mike Jenkins, CB S. Florida
Matt Ryan is a strong possibilty here, but teams are finding that there might be 2nd/3rd round type quarterbacks out there that can be equally as effective as drafting a signal caller this high in the draft. Mike Jenkins is starter material and the questionable character concerns would fit in well with the other thugs and baby makers in Baltimore. That defense is going to carry them for another 5 years. Too bad its carrying them nowhere. Have fun with that child support losers.
9.) Cincinnati Bengals - Sedrick Ellis, DT USC
There isn't a more no-brainer of a pick out there. They totally ****ed up trying to get a DT through free agency. Luckily Sedrick fell to them because of a shoddy pro day. Talk about a dumb reason to fall. The Bengals lucked out big time by having three 3-4 teams drafting ahead of them who might be hesitant to try Sedrick at any of the line poistions in that scheme.
10.) New Orleans Saints - Keith Rivers, OLB USC
New Orleans is woefully thin at LB. They have nothing to write home about starting and they have worse depth than we do. Barring either DT falling to them or reaching on a Balmer or Sims, I can't see any other player that they would plan on drafting in this spot.
11.) Jacksonville Jaguars - Derrick Harvey, DE Florida
Wow! Looks like Jville likes dealing with OBD and vice versa. The thing that defense has been lacking is an edge rushing presence. Derrick brings that in spades. Too bad the cracker drafted 3rd overall made him his ***** during their bowl game this past year. BTW... here is what we get in return for Mr. Harvey... the 26th pick, the 58th pick, and the 72 pick in this year's draft. With the holes we still have on this team, it would be impossible to turn this down.
12. Denver Broncos - Devin Thomas, WR Michigan State
John Gruden is crying in his milk. He really wanted this kid and for good reason. Devin is a playmaker and who the Bills should have drafted had they not traded out of the 11 spot.
13. Carolina Panthers - Jeff Otah, OT Pitt
The Panthers have had one of the better offseasons and look to continue that by selecting the mammoth Otah to hold down the LT spot for the next 5 years.
14. Chicago Bears - Matt Ryan, QB Boston College
Another potential top-10 QB draft day faller has finally come to rest in Chicago. Just what Chicago needs... another QB with a questionable skill set to add to the mix. Well, at least they have deep dish pizza.
15. Detroit Lions - Rashard Menenhall, RB Illinois
What... no wideouts? Seriously though. Rashard is a big time running back and a great pick for the Lions. They are going to be very difficult to defense.
