2011 NFL Draft Order: Full NFL Mock Draft Projection

The 2011 NFL Draft order is usually very close to be set by now, as we head into Week 16. 

But with new rules moving teams back based on where they finish in the playoffs, we've still got a ways to go. 

For the 20 teams who will miss out on the playoffs, we're obviously closer to having the exact order, but things can certainly change in the season's final two weeks. 

Here's a look at what could be the final 2011 NFL Draft order and possible selections for each of the NFL's 32 teams....

1. Carolina Panthers 

Andrew Luck.  No brainer. Even with Clausen, Luck's promise is Peyton Manning-esque. 

2. Cincinnati Bengals 

Da'Qwan Bowers is a total freak, and the Bengals could use some more beef and pass rushing ability up front. 

3. Denver Broncos 

Patrick Peterson is one of the most athletic corners to come out in ages, and he fits a need in Denver. 

4. Arizona Cardinals 

Cam Newton could become the 2011 Combine winner and rocket up draft boards. I know John Skelton is there, but Newton might be a hot commodity. 

5. Detroit Lions 

Prince Amukamara is very athletic and is very polished at the corner spot—a desperate need for the Lions.

6. Buffalo Bills 

Nick Fairley is an animal on the defensive front, and he'd be the answer for the Bills porous-run defense. 

7. Washington Redskins 

Marcell Dareus could be just as good as Fairley and is very disruptive as a run defender and rushing the quarterback. 

8. San Francisco 49ers

Robert Quinn didn't play in 2010 but has an amazing amount of talent and upside.

9. Houston Texans 

Stephen Paea the defensive tackle from Oregon State would help one of the worst defenses in the NFL, with no cornerbacks with No. 9 overall value.

10. Minnesota Vikings 

Ryan Mallet is the obvious pick here with quarterback as the most pressing need for the Vikings.

11. Cleveland Browns 

AJ Green fits exactly what Browns fans are calling for—a playmaker on the offensive side of the ball to take pressure away from Peyton Hillis.   

12. Tennessee Titans 

Brandon Harris is an underrated corner but would upgrade the Titans secondary right away. 

13. Dallas Cowboys

Von Miller is a superb passing rushing outside linebacker, and without many holes to fill that fit value here, he could be the guy. 

14. Seattle Seahawks 

Jake Locker played in Seattle and will be a great replacement for Matt Hasslebeck. 

15. New England Patriots (from Oakland) 

Derek Sherrod the tackle from Mississippi helps the Patriots instantly especially if Logan Mankins jets from New England. 

16. Miami Dolphins 

Mark Ingram could be the pick here and although it may surprise people. Either Ronnie Brown or Ricky Williams may be expendable at this point. 

17. Tampa Bay Buccaneers 

Akeem Ayers could fit into the Tampa 2 system, and the Bucs linebackers need some youth.

18. Jacksonville Jaguars 

Adrian Clayborn at one point was a Top Five pick but had a down year with the Hawkeyes but would help the Jags from Day 1.   

19. San Diego Chargers

Ryan Kerrigan is the purest pass rusher entering this year's draft, and with really no holes to name of, Kerrigan adds more to their Shaun Phillips-led defensive front. 

20. Green Bay Packers 

Julio Jones

Sure, the Packers have a great receiving corp, but Donald Driver is aging and Jones may be a fantastic possession receiver in the future. 

21. St. Louis Rams 

Johnathan Baldwin is the exact guy the Rams are looking for to speed along Sam Bradford's growing process. 

22. Kansas City Chiefs

Allen Bailey adds to a improving Chiefs defensive front three. 

23. Indianapolis Colts 

Steve Wisniewski is the future Jeff Saturday who could be on his way out. 

24. New York Giants 

Travis Lewis helps Perry Fewell reconstruct his 4-3 defense as Keith Bullock can't stay around forever. 

25. New Orleans Saints 

Cameron Heyward helps the Saints defensive front. New Orleans doesn't have many holes to fill on their roster. 

26. Chicago Bears 

Anthony Costanzo is the tackle that helps the Bears offensive line turn the corner

27. New York Jets

Cameron Jordan adds to an already bulky Jets defensive line and could replace Kris Jenkins. 

28. Baltimore Ravens 

Janoris Jenkins is precisely what the Ravens need—cornerback depth. 

29. Pittsburgh Steelers 

Gabe Carmini is the ideal fit for the Steelers who are in dire need for some offensive line assistance. 

30. Atlanta Falcons 

Kyle Rudolph would be the starter from Day 1 if Tony Gonzalez retires. 

31. New England Patriots 

Aaron Williams is another young cornerback with loads of potential. 

32. Philadelphia Eagles

Mike Pouncey is the future at the pivot for whatever team that drafts him.
