1. Patriots: OT Jamon Meredith, South Carolina

The Patriots have an aging offensive line and don’t like to pay veterans boatloads of cash. They will need some fresh blood after next year and Meredith fits their scheme.

1. Panthers: DT Sen’Derrick Marks, Auburn **

The Panthers need to bolster the defensive line and Marks is a first round talent who should see plenty of playing time as a rookie.

1. Giants: CB Victor “Macho” Harris, Virginia Tech

The Giants can take whatever position has the best player to bolster their depth. Corner wins out in this scenario.

1. Colts: OT Gerald Cadogan, Penn State

Indianapolis was ravaged by injuries to their offensive line last season and need someone who they can plug into multiple positions if needed.

Cadogan can play anywhere on the right side.

1. Titans: OT Phil Loadholt, Oklahoma **

The Titans need someone in the fold who can eventually deal with the front lines in Jacksonville and Indianapolis.

They have bigger needs but Loadholt is too good for them to pass up.

1. Cardinals: C Jonathan Luigs, Arkansas

The Cardinals had a penalty machine at center last year and need to find a replacement.

Luigs helped foster a solid running game in a very offensively challenged situation at Arkansas. He would be a good pick to help establish Moreno and the running game.

1. Steelers: G Duke Robinson, Oklahoma

The Steelers continue to bolster their offensive line by taking a very talented guard who falls to them in the same fashion as Alex Mack in the first round.

** means the team will be looking to trade from their current slot.
