This mock draft compilation takes into account 12 of the most well-respected NFL Draft experts in the world.

Clearly there is a consensus on who the No. 1 overall pick will be; now the debate moves to whether it was the right or wrong pick.
The Rams' line isn't as bad as most 1-15 teams, but they do need to add a talented receiving option for Bradford in the second or third round.

One can argue the Lions' biggest need is an OT, but the team can use an elite prospect at almost any position.
With Ndamukong Suh paired with fellow Blackshirt Kyle Vanden Bosch, the Lions may not be the punch line of the NFL much longer.

This is the first point in the draft where we start to see some real debate. Eric Berry would add a playmaker to KC, a big need, but the Chiefs' OL also needs an upgrade.
GM Scott Pioli is a big fan of Kirk Ferentz and believes in his line products, giving Bryan Bulaga a big advantage. Any of the talented defensive prospects are in the mix, but most rumors say the team wants to help protect Matt Cassel.

The Hawks need linemen and playmakers, which is apparent when looking at the mash-up of picks. With Deon Grant out the door, Eric Berry makes perfect sense at safety.
Tampa isn't the only staff in the NFL that believes in Monte Kiffin. Don't forget, Pete Carroll used to employ his son.
If Seattle drafts Trent Williams or C.J. Spiller, the fans would still be happy.

The Browns' brain trust was in Gainesville to see Joe Haden redeem his Combine 40 at the Gators' pro day, putting Haden back at the top of their draft board.
If Berry is around he's a solid selection, and Dez Bryant is an upgrade, but Haden is as close to a lock at seven as possible.

Big, strong, and fast—Bruce Campbell has everything Al Davis looks for in a tackle, and he can be a great one if he doesn't get ruined by the mentality in Oakland.
Jason Pierre-Paul isn't fast enough for Al, and Clausen is too pretty. If not Campbell, Trent Williams is a very good pick.

The Bills are taking a hard look at Tim Tebow, and while they could take him in the first, there is a good chance he will last until the second round.
Buffalo needs to protect whoever is playing QB, and Trent Williams can do that at either tackle position.
If they like Clausen more than Tebow, he should be there for the taking.

The Jags drafted their tackles of the future last year and have MJD locked into a long-term deal. Instead of taking the pressure off their stud back with a top-flight WR, why not get the most versatile player in the draft?
In addition to a Reggie Bush/Percy Harvin game-changing ability on offense, Spiller can also take kicks to the house.

All of the red flags looming over Dez Bryant's head reduce the chances Denver will take him, regardless of what they do with Brandon Marshall.
Looking at defense, a stud middle backer like Rolando McClain or ball hawk like Earl Thomas will help Denver finish the season like they started it last year.

Miami will be without their top edge rushers, and they still don't have a No. 1 receiver, but they need to make sure the middle of their defense is solid.
Dan Williams can push any lineman back one on one and is active getting after the QB.
If Spiller is on the board, he could be their guy, or if Bill Parcells is in love with a 9-tech, he will be the pick.

If Joe Haden slips to 13, the Niners would love to scoop him up like they did with Michael Crabtree last year.
Mike Singletary had a front row seat for Brandon Graham's domination at the Senior Bowl, and the Niners don't have anybody with double-digit sack potential.

Many suspect the Seahawks will leave the first round with at least one lineman, but don't be surprised if Carroll stocks up on playmakers like he did at USC.
Seattle really needs someone who can get to the passer, and Derrick Morgan is a perfect fit for their scheme. A surprise pick could be Everson Griffen, but I'm not sure Carroll wants to go to the USC well in the first round.

The G-Men have a hole in the middle of their defense, and if there is one player in this draft who can fill it, it's McClain.
Talent-wise, McClain should be long gone here, but middle backers have lost value in recent drafts, giving the Giants a steal.

The Titans have had success with raw prospects in the past, which makes Pierre-Paul a great fit for the them.
If Morgan or Graham is there is on the board, they would make safer picks, but Jeff Fisher is never afraid to roll the dice.

The Niners could use a right tackle, but you never have to draft one in the first round, and Anthony Davis' questionable work ethic won't win anyone over in the Niners' camp.
If SF wants to dominate in the running game and draft a potential Pro Bowler, Iupati is their man. If the team doesn't believe in Alex Smith, then Clausen is a solid choice, but San Francisco can win the NFC West next season with a decent effort.

After trading one of Ben Roethlisberger's biggest weapons away, Pitt needs to do something to help its troubled QB.
I still have visions of Justin Hartwig getting pushed back into the end zone in the Super Bowl, something that won't happen to Maurkice Pouncey.
If not a lineman, the Steelers should grab a CB to help their pass D.

Most feel the Falcons are going to draft a DE in the first round. The only question is who will be on the board.
If Morgan, Graham, or Pierre-Paul is there, any of them should be the picks—if not, look for Everson Griffen or Sergio Kindle to land in Atlanta. Sean Weatherspoon would also be a strong selection.

The Texans have a few major needs in this draft. They like their safeties, but both the corner and running back positions are in question.
Of the corners, Kyle Wilson looks like the safest pick. If Houston wants to improve its terrible rushing attack, Ryan Mathews will do that in a hurry. If Dez Bryant is still on the board, the BPA says pick him.

Most seem to think the Ravens need to add another WR or TE, but this is a team that runs and stops the run to win games.
Baltimore lost Dwan Edwards to the Bills this spring, and Jared Odrick is ready to start from day one. The Big Ten DPOY dominated in the country's best offensive line conference, and his character issues are no problem for the Ravens' locker room.
Few are talking about Odrick because so many teams want him.

It's tough to put a tag on the retooling period the Chargers are in, but as long as Philip Rivers is under center, they will be in the playoff hunt.

With all of their big offseason acquisitions, it’s hard to predict what the Jets will do in the draft. They don't need to go after a receiver or back in the first round anymore.
A proven pass rusher like Jerry Hughes would be nice, but Jason Taylor may be coming to town.
Tyson Alualu isn't a sexy pick like Mark Sanchez was, but he is a violent and versatile prospect who has earned a fringe first round grade.

Although he may try, Brett Favre can't play forever, and none of the other Vikings QBs make the team a serious Super Bowl contender.
Clausen can learn, adjust, and when it's his time shine because of all of the talent around him.
With his love/hate reviews, many could grab him before this pick, but I don't seem him sliding to the second unless Tebow mania strikes.

Bill Polian likes to draft offensive talent late in the first round, even if the Colts need D, but it doesn't mean he does it every time.
In 2005 the Colts took Marlin Jackson with the 29th pick, and a corner with great ball skills and special teams playmaking like Jackson may be what the Colts need to get past the Saints next year.
