1) St. Louis Rams - Tim Tebow, QB, Florida I think this will be a great season for Tebow and the start of a decline for Bulger. Tebow is a "can do it all" type of QB who's extremley smart and gifted. If Linehan can retain his job, I think he looks to revamp the offense. While the Rams won't be as bad as their record may indicate, they have some tough match-ups that I just don't see them winning. 2) Atlanta Falcons - Andre Smith, OT, Alabama This team will be okay. It just needs some years to pick up the pieces that came with losing a QB like Vick. While they did grab Sam Baker in the most recent draft, they still need an upgrade at LT. Smith should have a great year and look the part. Matt Ryan will be the QB for years to come. When they get him protection and give running lanes to Turner and Norwood, they'll progress. 3) Oakland Raiders - Rey Maualuga, ILB, USC The Raiders were 31st in the league last year against the run, yet they didn't pick up much talent to improve in that area. Their CBs are solid, so teams will look to run the ball. Maualuga is a head-hunter at ILB, and will help this team in that area. While a DT would make more sense, the Raiders are unconventional and like physical freaks. 4) Kansas City Chiefs - Chris Wells, RB, Ohio State The Chiefs had an amazing 2008 draft, and will see the value of it over time. However, it will take some time to piece everything together. If they are drafting this early, there's a good chance things didn't pan out at the QB spot. While Stafford is a possibility, Wells may be too good to pass up here. He'll start where Larry Johnson leaves off. 5) Detroit Lions - Malcolm Jenkins, CB, Ohio State No team allowed more yards in 2007 than the Detroit Lions did. While they were lacking against the run, it was the pass that really killed them. Virtually nothing was done via the draft to shore that up. One area of opportunity remains at CB. Jenkins is the best prospect at the position and could come in and help out immediately. 6) Miami Dolphins - James Laurinaitis, LB, Ohio State When it's all said and done, this may not be the biggest need for the Dolphins. They added a lot of talent at the LB position this off-season, and should not finish dead last in the league in terms of rushing yards allowed per game, again. However, Laurinaitis is an amazing talent who could play any LB position you put him at. Blessed w/ great size and speed, he would start somewhere. The Dolphins may be looking for the best player available vs. a direct need. This team still needs to make a lot of improvements. 7) Cincinnati Bengals - Knowshon Moreno, RB, Georgia It just doesn't seem like Marvin Lewis has a handle on things in Cincinnati. While they'll be able to create some fireworks now and again, I think they'll get exposed in this conference. While their D-Line may end up being the greatest need they need to address, I don't think they pass on Moreno here. While Rudi Johnson is serviceable, Moreno would be a step up at this point. 8) Chicago Bears - Matt Stafford, QB, Georgia Orton nor Grossman is the answer in Shi-town. Stafford has an amazing upside and could start as a rookie if drafted here. The Bears "D" is solid, but it may not be enough to save them. 9) Baltimore Ravens - Michael Crabtree, WR, Texas Tech As I stated in my AFC Draft Report Card, I think the Ravens had a great 2008 draft. This is a team that will truly take off in a year or two. One position where they could get younger at is WR. Crabtree has a nice combination of size and speed, and is quite simply a pass catching machine. While the system he's in does inflate his numbers, he's that good. 10) New York Jets - Taylor Mays, FS, USC In each of the past three seasons, Thomas Jones has rushed for over 1,000 yards. So, I don't think they target RB here. Additionally, the Jets have added some studs on D-Line and at LB between last year and now, so things may look pretty good in that department. However, Mays could be an upgrade at Safety. He runs like a CB and hits like a LB. He could play at either Safety spot. 11) Philadelphia Eagles (via Panthers) - Eugene Monroe, OT, Virginia Some of the more recent O-Line picks haven't played out real well for the Eagles, so I could see them going with a guy who should be a lock to start in 1 to 2 years out. Bear in mind that ex-teammate Brandon Albert is expected to start at LT for the Chiefs. Virginia opted not to displace Monroe with Albert at said position. That should say something. 12) San Francisco 49ers - Vontae Davis, CB, Illinois There is talk that Davis might be the best CB in the country. He's big, fast, and physical. While the 49ers have made moves to improve at CB, Davis is too good to pass on. Yes, he'd be playing with his brother Vernon in this scenario. 13) Denver Broncos - William Moore, FS, Missouri Like Lynch, Moore is a head-hunter. He has good size and speed for the position, and may be the best Safety in the draft. With Lynch out of the mix, Moore could come in and start right away. He should have a nice Senior season and solidify his high stock. 14) Buffalo Bills - Michael Johnson, DE, Georgia Tech The Bills interior D-Line should be solid with the Stroud-McCargo tandem. But, the team could look to make some changes at DE if their defense doesn't produce more than 26 Sacks this season. While I do think Johnson is overrated at this point, he has the physical ability to break out. I could see him taken in the Top 15; especially from a team who needs DE help. 15) Green Bay Packers - Jeremy Maclin, WR, Missouri The Packers are a very good team. In fact, they're too good to be drafting this low. However, they have a very tough schedule ahead, and are putting a lot on the shoulders of the still wet behind the ears Aaron Rodgers. While this team isn't hurting at WR, Maclin is an amazing prospect who can do some scary things with the ball in his hands. 16) Houston Texans - LeSean McCoy, RB, Pittsburgh Yes, the Texans have Ahman Green and Chris Brown. And yes, they did draft Steve Slaton in last year's draft. Here's the deal. McCoy is a more complete back than any of the aforementioned. He has the size to carry the rock 20+ a game and the speed to bust it wide open. The 1-2 punch of McCoy and Slaton would be scary. 17) Seattle Seahawks - Sen'Derrick Marks, DT, Auburn Marks has a good shot at being this year's Sedrick Ellis. He's a menacing force on the inside that's very tough to contain. He may be the most consistent interior D-Lineman in the nation. The Seahawks have been looking for help at DT, so this is a pick that would make sense. Marks has the talent to see reps as a rookie. 18) Washington Redskins - George Selvie, DE, South Florida Washington doesn't have a bad team. They do however play in a very tough conference. I think they're lacking D-Line will be exposed this year, and will cause them to make a move to shore it up. Selvie has been a pass rushing machine the past two years. If he continues that streak in year-three, expect him to declare and to go early. The Jason Taylor addition certainly help, but he isn't a long-term play. 19) Tennessee Titans - Greg Hardy, DE, Ole Miss Is Kearse really the long term answer at DE for the Titans? If that question was posed five years ago, then okay. However, they will need to replace him. When Hardy gives it his all, you'll struggle to find a better DE in the college ranks. He should have another great season and flash NFL form. He's a player this team could use. 20) Tampa Bay Bucs - Percy Harvin, WR, Florida Any way you slice it, the Bucs have to get younger at WR. Harvin is a speedster who could be used in a number of different ways to help electrify an offense. He has crazy speed and is the type of player that has to be accounted for at all times. If he can recover from an off-season foot surgery, he should have another monster year. 21) Arizona Cardinals - Michael Oher, OT, Ole Miss Wisenhunt and Grimm both understand the importance of being able to move the ball on the ground. While the Edge may have lost a step, he's still a solid RB. And, Tim Hightower looks like he may be a sweet find. Oher is a solid OT who could slide down to play OG as well. He's simply too talented to pass on here. 22) Pittsburgh Steelers - Duke Robinson, OG, Oklahoma The Steelers really don't have too many holes on their team. However, it would be hard for any team to say that they don't need any help or depth along their O-Line. Robinson is a big prospect who is a great mauler in the run game. He has the talent to start right away. 23) New Orleans Saints - Brian Cushing, OLB, USC TE may have been the look here, but they shored that issue up with the addition of Shockey. While Cushing comes with an injury-riddled past, teh guy has a lot of upside to him. The Saints are a team that could make use of him early on. 24) Philadelphia Eagles - Brandon Pettigrew, TE, Oklahoma State L.J. Smith looked good in 2005-2006, but an injury in 2007 only allowed him to play in 10 games. In those 10 games, he didn't impress. He only amassed 22 receptions for 236 yards, and 1 TD. While it may be too early to count Smith out, Pettigrew is a man-child at TE who can do it all. 25) Cleveland Browns - Brian Orakpo, DE, Texas The Browns are a much improved team, and should have a very good season. While Willie McGinest is holding down one of the OLB spots for now, this may be his last year. Orakpo has the ability to transition into a 3-4 OLB. He's an athletic kid who should post the type of workout numbers that the Browns covet. 26) San Diego Chargers - Herman Johnson, OG, LSU As long as Tomlinson is in the backfield, the Chargers will have a heavy concentration on running the ball. Johnson is a mammoth man who would provide some youth to the O-Line. He's good enough to challenge for a starting spot right out of the gate. The Chargers could also look for more depth at LB as well. 27) New York Giants - Fili Moala, DT, USC Having just come off of a Super Bowl win, it's not like the Giants are hurting in too many areas. One thing that they reminded us all of is that you have to get to the passer to make it in this league. Often times that means creating enough on the interior to free up your outside guys. Moala is a big body that would help this team do just that. 28) New England Patriots - Brandon Spikes, ILB, Florida Bruschi is another one of those guys who you'd like to see play forever. However, that of course ain't gonna happen. Spikes is a great prospect who could learn a thing or two from this great LB corps before taking on a starting role. He has a nice combination of speed and size, and would compliment this team in time. 29) Minnesota Vikings - Aaron Curry, OLB, Wake Forest They Vikings were the best team in the league last year when it came to stopping the run. However, there were some improvements that could have been made at OLB. I'd think that Curry would be a step up from Ben Leber at said position. Not only is Curry good against the run, but he's great in pass coverage. 30) Indianapolis Colts - DeMarcus Granger, DT, Oklahoma While the Colts' defense was a vast improvement last season, they could still use some more depth along their D-Line. Granger is a big, commanding DT who would fit nicely into a regular rotation. There is a good possibility that he doesn't declare. However, I think he'll have a good enough season to where he will. 31) Jacksonville Jaguars - Louis Murphy, WR, Florida The only big question mark I have regarding the Jaguars has to do with who at the WR position. I'm not sure that the talent at this position is the best that it could it be. Murphy is a very fast, capable WR who should have a banner year with Tebow and company. While Harvin may get more national press, Murphy may be the better of the two. 32) Dallas Cowboys - Tyson Jackson, DE, LSU Yes, the Cowboys need a WR. However, the need was there last year too, so what difference does a year make? Instead, I see them going with the highest rated base 3-4 DE in the draft. While Jackson's productivity dropped off last year, he should be back to his Sophomore form in 2008. He'd be a great depth pick, and someone who could work in as a rookie.
