Detroit Lions: QB Mathew Stafford, Georgia
The Lions have a ton of needs, but they are unlikely to become a winning team without a franchise quarterback to build around. Matthew is highly elite talent that could lead the Lions into the future. He is a classic pocket passer. He possesses one of the strongest arms of any quarterback on the board. Stafford makes tough throws into tight spots. He is ready for the pro style offense and will fit with the Lions.
St Louis Rams: OT Jason Smith, Baylor
In doing this, they securely replace Orlando Pace. Smith is extremely athletic with an excellent combination of size, speed, and power. He has all the talent needed to fill this position combined with a tremendous work ethic and an above average awareness. Smith, is tough and physical in the trenches, with excellent balance and would work well with the Rams for many years to come.
Chiefs: LB Aaron Curry, Wake Forrest
This selection is hands down a lock. The Chiefs need a solid starter at the strong side linebacker position. Curry will be able to fill the role quickly. He is the top defensive player in the draft. Curry is a smart and versatile athletic linebacker. With great natural talent, his speed will fit with the defense. Though, don’t be surprised if they pass on Curry and go after another pressing need, an OT, and select Eugene Monroe from Virginia.
Seattle Seahawks: OT Eugene Monroe, Virginia
Seattle has struggled this past year and a lot of it was due to a poor offensive line. Monroe is the right man to lead the offensive line in helping to protect Hasselbeck. Monroe has tremendous footwork and field perception; and he displays excellent balance and supieror pass protection. Another route for the Seahawks is to go with a quarterback as solid as Marc Sanchez or BJ Raji. If this occurs, Monroe will slide to the Bengals.
Cleveland Browns: WR Michael Crabtree, Texas Tech
The Cleveland Browns are on the clock. The receiving core is a complete disaster with the departure of Kellen Winslow and Braylon Edwards on his way out the door, a reciever becomes their primary need. Even though they have an urgent need for a talented defensive pass rusher.
I cannot see them passing on a gifted wide receiver. Michael Crabtree is as solid as it gets, at this position, and is an elite talent that should be successful immediately. Crabtree has the ideal size and outstanding hands. He, uses his body well to position himself well against defensive backs, which gives him the ability to make plays in the open field after catching the ball. Another possibility, for the Browns, is Brian Orakpo.
Cincinnati Bengals: OT Andre Smith, Alabama
