This is based on the projected rankings before the season started. I didn't feel going by current records because I doubt they'll be the same.
1 Kansas City - OT Eugene Monroe, Virginia
May go QB here but I think they work on the lines. They are in need of offensive line help to help that running game and Croyle still has potential.
2 St Louis - OT Michael Oher, Ole Miss
Pace is old and is probably done. They need help at the tackle and Barron really hasn't played that well either. I think its too high for Jenkins or Davis at corner.
3 Oakland - OT Andre Smith, Alabama
3 tackles go with the 1st 3 picks. The Raiders need to protect their investments in Russell and McFadden. There defense looks strong and its too early for any WR to go here. They go with the underclassmen Smith.
4 Miami - CB Vontae Davis, Illinois
Wouldn't be suprised to see a linebacker go here but I think corner is a more pressing need. Davis is right up there with Jenkins as far as best corners but I think Davis gets the nod.
5 Atlanta - CB Malcom Jenkins, Ohio State
Jenkins is arguably the best corner and Atlantas secondary is shaky especially with Hall going to Oakland last year. Would be suprised if they didn't grab Davis or Jenkins if there on the board.
6 San Francisco - LB James Laurinatis, Ohio State
What an impressive young linebacker core the 49ers just built. They have Willis, Lawson and now Laurinatis at linebacker. Nolan loves linebackers and while WR and maybe even defensive end are options I think they go with Laurinatis.
7 Detroit - QB Matt Stafford, Georgia
They are in serious need of a future QB to throw to Williams and Johnson and Stafford fits the bill. They could go defense here but I think they want to make a big splash with Stafford under the new general manager.
8 Cincinnati - RB Chris Wells, Ohio State
With Johnson being released and Perry not getting the job done Wells looks like an obvious choice here. With Palmer, Johnson, Houshmanzadeh and Wells it looks like a dangerous offense.
9 Houston - LB Rey Maualuga, USC
Maualuga goes with another good young linebacker in Demeco Ryans to form a dangerous group on defense with Williams, Johnson, Okoye and Weaver on defensive line.
10 Washington - S Taylor Mays, USC
With Taylors death the Redskins need help in the secondary. Mays is a physical freak and will help the Redskins in the secondary.
11 Denver - S William Moore, Missouri
With Lynch released early in camp Denver definetly needed help at safety. Moore or Mays is the option but with Mays going to Washington, Moore is the logical choice. They need help at running back but this is not a Shanahan type pick drafting a RB this early.
12 Chicago - WR Michael Crabtree, Texas Tech
Chicago is in desperate need for a top WR and Crabtree is a perfect fit. Tebow was looked at but they go with the wideout instead.
13 Arizona - DE Michael Johnson, Georgia Tech
Arizona needs help getting to the quarterback and Johnson does just that. A good value pick this late in the draft.
14 Tennessee - WR Percy Harvin, Florida
Harvin is a Reggie Bush type player. He is a special player but he's not a true WR or RB. He's more of a guy that you just want to give the ball to. Should help out Vince Young alot.
15 Tampa Bay - QB Tim Tebow, Florida
Gruden loves his quarterbacks and Tebow is the type of tough quarterback Gruden would love. Tebow will sit on the sidelines while Griese plays next year but Tebow would probably see time.
16 Cleveland - RB Knowshon Moreno, Georgia
Moreno is a very talented back and Lewis isn't getting any younger. Cleveland needs a back to take the pressure of what will be Brady Quinns team.
17 Baltimore - WR Jeremy Maclin, Missouri
They need more targets for Flacco. Maclin is a deep threat and with Flaccos arm and Mason underneath it should make for a nice pick.
18 Philadelphia (Carolina) - OT Jason Smith, Baylor
Both Runyan and Thomas are getting old and Smith is an athletic offensive tackle. They don't really have a ton of needs so Smith seems like a nice pick here.
19 Buffalo - LB Aaron Curry, Wake Forest
Buffalo needs help on the interior line but linebacker is a big need as well with the loss of Crowell. Curry, Pos and Mitchell make for a strong linebacker core.
20 New York Jets - RB CJ Spiller, Clemson
The Jets need help at running back. Jones is solid but nothing spectacular. They need a gamebreaker and Spiller is just that.
21 Green Bay - OT Phil Loadholt, Oklahoma
The Packers line is getting old and Loadholt will add some youth and is a monster at 6'9.
22 New Orleans - OLB Brian Cushing, USC
The Saints did a good job upgrading their linebacker core this year but they still need help at linebacker. Cushing was a top recruit out of high school and has a ton of talent.
23 San Diego - DT Peria Jerry, Ole Miss
They really need to look at getting somebody to replace Williams who has been a great NT for them for years. He's getting up there in age and would look good with Olshansky and Castillo on the ends.
24 Seattle - WR Darrius Heyward-Bey, Maryland
Even though injuries killed them they still need help at wideout. Heyward-Bey is an explosive deep threat that they are in need of.
25 Indianapolis - OC Alex Mack, California
With Saturdays age and injuries the Colts need help to protect their franchise quarterback and running back. Mack is the best center in college.
26 Jacksonville - OT Jamon Meredith, South Carolina
I think Meredith is a guard in the pros and Jacksonville needs help on the offensive line to get that running game to go.
27 Minnesota - TE Brandon Pettigrew, Oklahoma State
Minnesota hasn't had a good TE in quite some time. If Jackson is going to be the starter there going to need a big target at TE and Pettigrew is a big time blocker as well.
28 New York Giants - TE Travis Beckum, Wisconsin
Boss is not a starting TE in my opinion. Beckum is a great target and Boss is a good blocking TE so Beckum could be split out occasionally ala Shockey.
29 New England - DE Tyson Jackson, LSU
Seymour has been hurt and Jackson is an excellent value here. He is perfect for the 34.
30 Philadelphia - S Rashad Johnson, Alabama
Philly is in need of safety help and Johnson is the smart solid player the Eagles look for. They filled both of their holes in this draft.
31 Pittsburgh - OG Duke Robinson, Oklahoma
With the loss of Faneca the Steelers are in need of some help in the interior line. Robinson is a great run blocker and with Mendenhall and Parker at running back Robinson is ideal.
32 Dallas - WR Derrick Williams, Penn State
Williams is an explosive wide out and returner. He was the top recruit coming out of high school and would be a nice fit at slot next to Owens and Crayton.
1 Kansas City - OT Eugene Monroe, Virginia
May go QB here but I think they work on the lines. They are in need of offensive line help to help that running game and Croyle still has potential.
2 St Louis - OT Michael Oher, Ole Miss
