After seeing the many mock drafts out there I’ve decided to throw out my own two cents on the drafts top ten.
1) Miami Dolphins- Chris Long - With the first overall the Bill Parcells is going to take Chris Long. He’s a phenomenal talent who put up numbers at Virginia. Not only did he 22 sacks and 43 tackles for a loss but he did it from the end position of a 3-4 defense, the type Parcells will more than likely assemble. Not only is Long one of the most pro ready players in the draft but he has the pedigree of an elite player. Chris Long will become a corner stone for the Dolphins for years to come.
2) St. Louis Rams – Jake Long - The Rams can’t pass up a player like Jake Long. With this Long they’ll not only have an immediate improvement in their line strength but have a replacement for their aging tackle Orlando Pace. He may end up being a right tackle in the NFL but even as such he has the ability to be a pro bowler years to come, making him a perfect decision for the Rams new personnel chief.
3) Atlanta Falcons – Glenn Dorsey - With new head coach Mike Smith the Falcons may be looking to improve their defense before bettering their offense. Formerly the Jacksonville Jaguars defensive coordinator, Smith is going to be a defensive minded and looking to build something similar to what he had in Jacksonville. After signing Michael Turner to be the Fred Taylor work horse running back of his team we can rule out drafting McFadden. Dorsey will be the defensive tackle that Smith will begin the building of his Jaguar-esque defense around.
4) Oakland Raiders – Darren McFadden – Al Davis is enamored with speed and players with home run capabilities. In McFadden he’ll get a player that fulfills both of those wants. Sharing a backfield with Justin Fargas will make the raiders running backs one of the leagues best one-two punches. The bettering of the run game will also take pressure off of new quarterback Jemarcus Russell making his transition to full time starter even easier.
5) Kansas City Chiefs – Ryan Clady

not bad but the Jets like Kellen Clemens so i doubt they will go QB, also Adalius Thomas is better outside then he is inside so a guy like Dan Connor (reach but he is hard working, proven, and plays inside), or Leodis Mckelvin is more likely
good job backing your picks up though, i liked it
