Mother Of All Mocks: The Results 50 NFL Mock Drafts All Rolled into One.
With the combine less than two weeks away and plenty of mock drafts arising, now is the time for NFL prospects to make their case and enhance their draft stock. For us fans, its a chance to glimpse at what the future of our beloved franchises might behold. With plenty of mock drafts arising, it can be hard to get a consensus pick which most people agree on. Therefore, the next 32 slides will contain every player drafted by each team to see not only which team are looking to draft, but who is the most popular pick. 1,600 draft picks in total have been recorded and presented in the following Sideshow Presentation.
Feel free to leave feedback at the end of the presentation on who you feel your team should draft, and whether you agree with the consensus pick.
1st Pick: Carolina Panthers (2-14)
1 of 33
Consensus Pick
Nick Fairley - Defensive Tackle - Auburn - 36 selections
Other Picks
Da'Quan Bowers - Defensive End - Clemson - 9 selections
A.J Green - Wide Receiver - Georgia - 3 selections
Patrick Peterson - Cornerback - LSU - 1 selection
Cam Newton - Quarterback - Auburn - 1 selection
Ndamukong Suh made it clear last year that a stunt, rookie defensive tackle can have a huge impact on a defense. Even though the Panthers finished last in points scored and yards per game, there is nobody on the offensive side of the ball who is worthy of that pick or can resolve all of their problems. With a new Defensive-minded coach in Ron Rivera, who has first hand seen what a strong defense can do after experience with the Chargers and Bears, picks Fairley to build his defense around. They are starting the re-building process and Fairley can lay the foundations.
2nd Pick: Denver Broncos (4-12)
2 of 33
Consensus Pick
Patrick Peterson - Cornerback - LSU - 24 Selections
Other Picks
Da'Quan Bowers - Defensive End - Clemson - 16 Selections
Nick Fairley - Defensive Tackle - Auburn - 10 Selections
The Broncos gave up the most points and the most yards on defense last year so any defensive selection here would be a a good pick. If Fairley didn't go at #1, I'm confident the Broncos would select him to improve the 31st ranked run defense. However, the also gave up the 25th worst passing yards, so a cornerback to replace an aging legend in Champ Bailey wouldn't go amiss. It is very conceivable that the Broncos could take Bowers with this pick, and look for a Jimmy Smith or Aaron Williams in the second round.
3rd Pick: Buffalo Bills (4-12)
3 of 33
Consensus Pick
Marcell Dareus - Defensive End/Tackle - Alabama - 11 Selections
Other Picks
Von Miller - Outside Linebacker - Missouri - 9 Selections
Patrick Peterson - Cornerback - LSU - 8 Selections
Da'Quan Bowers - Defensive End - Clemson - 8 selections
Blaine Gabbert - Quarterback - Missouri - 6 Selections
Cam Newton - Quarterback - Auburn - 3 Selections
Nick Fairley - Defensive Tackle - Auburn - 2 Selections
A.J Green - Wide Receiver - Georgia - 2 Selections
Cam Newton - Quarterback - Auburn - 1 Selection
With the Bills last in run defense and giving up 15 more rushing yards per game more than the 31st ranked rushing defense, the obvious choice for them will be to draft Marcell Dareus from Alabama. Though he could play Defensive Tackle in a 4-3 Defensive, he will fit perfectly alongside Pro Bowler Kyle Williams at Defensive End in the Bills 3-4 Scheme and give a strong foundation for the Bills to build their defense upon.
4th Pick: Cincinnati Bengals (4-12)
4 of 33
Consensus Pick
A.J Green - Wide Receiver - Georgia - 33 selections
Other Picks
Da'Quan Bowers - Defensive End - Clemson - 8 Selections
Marcell Dareus - Defensive End/Tackle - Alabama - 3 Selections
Robert Quinn - Defensive End - North Carolina - 2 Selections
Blaine Gabbert - Quarterback - Missouri - 2 Selections
Nick Fairley - Defensive Tackle - Auburn - 1 Selection
One of the most popular picks in most mock drafts. With Chad Johnson and Terrell Owens likely not to return to the team, the Bengals are left with a large hole at Wide Receiver. Depending on whether Carson Palmer is traded or not, this pick may change into being a Quarterback, most likely Blaine Gabbert. The Bengals could also go for a defensive lineman, which would help a defense which faces Peyton Hillis, Ray Rice and Rashard Mendenhall twice a year.
5th Pick: Arizona Cardinals (5-11)
5 of 33
Consensus Pick
Von Miller - Outside Linebacker - Texas A&M - 14 Selections
Other Picks
Patrick Peterson - Cornerback - LSU - 12 Selections
Blaine Gabbert - Quarterback - Missouri - 10 Selections
Robert Quinn - Defensive End - North Carolina - 4 Selections
Marcell Dareus - Defensive End/Tackle - Alabama - 3 Selections
Da'Quan Bowers - Defensive End - Clemson - 3 Selections
Cam Newton - Quarterback - Auburn - 1 Selection
A.J Green - Wide Receiver - Georgia - 1 Selection
Prince Amukamara - Cornerback - Nebraska - 1 Selection
The Arizona Cardinals are in need of some offensive firepower to go along with Larry Fitzgerald. However, with rumours circulating of Donovan McNabb, Kevin Kolb or Kyle Orton coming to the desert, they will not need to draft a Quarterback with the 5th pick. Therefore they turn their attention to the defense, one which was scored against the 3rd most in the NFL. After taking a defensive lineman in Dan Williams in the first round last year, it would be risky to put even more large amounts of money in another lineman. Von Miller can step in from day one and start and will help the team improve it's porous defense
6th Pick: Cleveland Browns (5-11)
6 of 33

Consensus Pick
Robert Quinn - Defensive End - North Carolina - 13 Selections
Other Picks
Marcell Dareus - Defensive End/Tackle - Alabama - 12 Selections
A.J. Green - Wide Receiver - Georgia - 11 Selections
Julio Jones - Wide Receiver - Alabama - 5 Selections
Da'Quan Bowers - Defensive End - Clemson - 4 Selections
Prince Amukamara - Cornerback - Nebraska - 2 Selections
Von Miller - Outside Linebacker - Texas A&M - 1 Selection
Ryan Kerrigan - Defensive End - Purdue - 1 Selection
Nick Fairley - Defensive Tackle - Auburn - 1 Selection
Robert Quinn is the selection for the Browns here, though if Da'Quan Bowers is still available, he could easily be the 6th pick of the draft. The browns also need to find Colt McCoy a weapon on offense, so if the Bengals don't take A.J Green, the Browns are ready to pounce. Though Julio Jones is a 1st round caliber player, it is a stretch to take him at number six. There will be plenty of receivers available for the browns to the 5th pick in the second round.
7th Pick: San Francisco 49ers (6-10)
7 of 33
Consensus Pick
Prince Amukamara - Cornerback - Nebraska - 18 Selections
Other Picks
Blaine Gabbert - Quarterback - Missouri - 6 Selections
Marcell Dareus - Defensive End/Tackle - Alabama - 6 Selections
Patrick Peterson - Cornerback - LSU - 5 Selections
Von Miller - Outside Linebacker - Texas A&M - 4 Selections
Cam Newton - Quarterback - Auburn - 3 Selections
Ryan Mallet - Quarterback - Arkansas - 2 Selections
Robert Quinn - Defensive End - North Carolina - 2 Selections
Cameron Jordan - Defensive End - California - 2 Selections
A.J. Green - Wide Receiver - Georgia - 1 Selection
Jake Locker - Quarterback - Washington - 1 Selection
After a very disappointing year for the 49ers, resulting in most 49ers fans venting their annoyance at television screens all over the world and finally coming to terms that their team were not going to be winners this year, Jim Harbaugh's 'rebuilding' project might just be a good draft pick away from the playoffs .With Nate Clements becoming old and not living up to his huge contract, Prince Amukamara is a safe, solid pick who will contribute from the word go. With Alex Smith and Jim Harbaugh having meetings and apparently getting along, it doesn't seem like the sought of behaviour of a head coach who is looking to draft a quarterback. Though the offense needs tweeking a bit, the 49ers have the chance to take a quality corner with great potential.
8th Pick: Tennessee Titans (6-10)
8 of 33
Consensus Pick
Blaine Gabbert - Quarterback - Missouri - 14 Selections
Other Picks
Cam Newton - Quarterback - Auburn - 5 Selections
Marcell Dareus - Defensive End/Tackle - Alabama - 5 Selections
Prince Amukamara - Cornerback - Nebraska - 5 Selections
Robert Quinn - Defensive End - North Carolina - 4 Selections
Ryan Mallet - Quarterback - Arkansas - 3 Selections
Von Miller - Outside Linebacker - Texas A&M - 2 Selections
J.J. Watt - Defensive End - Wisconsin - 2 Selections
Ryan Kerrigan - Defensive End - Purdue - 2 Selections
Nate Solder - Offensive Tackle - Colorado - 2 Selections
Aldon Smith - Outside Linebacker - Missouri - 2 Selections
Cameron Jordan - Defensive End - California - 2 Selections
Jake Locker - Quarterback - Washington - 1 Selection
Mike Pouncey - Offensive Guard - Florida - 1 Selection
Blaine Gabbert is the obvious choice for the titans after news that Vince Young will either be Released or Traded and Kerry Collins being, you know, old. And don't even suggest Rusty Smith is a liable option. The Titans need a Quarterback and if Gabbert is still available, they wont hesitate to pick him. Though Cam Newton is a popular pick here, he reminds me too much of Vince Young 2.0, something the titans should stay away from.
9th Pick: Dallas Cowboys (6-10)
9 of 33
Consensus Pick
Prince Amukamara - Cornerback - Nebraska - 12 Selections
Other Picks
Nate Solder - Offensive Tackle - Colorado - 9 Selections
Cameron Jordan - Defensive End - California - 9 Selections
Robert Quinn - Defensive End - North Carolina - 6 Selections
Marcell Dareus - Defensive End/Tackle - Alabama - 5 Selections
J.J. Watt - Defensive End - Wisconsin - 2 Selections
Tyron Smith - Offensive Tackle - USC - 1 Selection
Anthony Castonzo - Offensive Tackle - Boston College - 1 Selection
Cameron Heyward - Defensive End - Ohio State - 1 Selection
Mark Ingram - Running Back - Alabama - 1 Selection
Patrick Peterson - Cornerback - LSU - 1 Selection
Von Miller - Outside Linebacker - Texas A&M - 1 Selection
Corey Liuget - Defensive Tackle - Illinois - 1 Selection
If Amukamara did fall to the Cowboys, he would definitely help an ailing secondary and will be the cover cornerback which the cowboys have been waiting on for a while. However, if the 49ers take him, Jerry Jones shouldn't be too disheartened and should look to solidify the offensive or defensive line, which Nate Solder or Cameron Jordan could do respectively. Both are NFL ready and will help the cowboys win the battles in the trenches.
10th Pick: Washington Redskins (6-10)
10 of 33
Consensus Pick
Cam Newton - Quarterback - Auburn - 16 Selections
Other Picks
Julio Jones - Wide Receiver - Alabama - 8 Selections
Jake Locker - Quarterback - Washington - 8 Selections
Blaine Gabbert - Quarterback - Missouri - 6 Selections
Robert Quinn - Defensive End - North Carolina - 3 Selections
Von Miller - Outside Linebacker - Texas A&M - 3 Selections
Cameron Jordan - Defensive End - California - 3 Selections
Cameron Heyward - Defensive End - Ohio State - 1 Selection
Ryan Mallet - Quarterback - Arkansas - 1 Selection
Corey Liuget - Defensive Tackle - Illinois - 1 Selection
There is no doubt that Cam Newton was the best player in college football last year but will he be able to translate that into the NFL. With McNabb likely out the door, the redskins need a quarterback. Though the Redskins have recently drafted a quarterback from Auburn which may make them cautious, that Quarterback was not a Heisman Trophy winner. If they don't go with Newton, They need a play maker at Wide Receiver which Julio Jones could be or another development project at Quarterback for Mike Shanahan in Jake Locker.
11th Pick: Houston Texans (6-10)
11 of 33
Consensus Pick
Aldon Smith - Outside Linebacker - Missouri - 12 Selections
Other Picks
Prince Amukamara - Cornerback - Nebraska - 8 Selections
Robert Quinn - Defensive End -North Carolina - 7 Selections
Von Miller - Outside Linebacker - Texas A&M - 5 Selections
Ryan Kerrigan - Defensive End - Purdue - 4 Selections
Marcell Dareus - Defensive End/Tackle - Alabama - 3 Selections
Cameron Jordan - Defensive End - California - 3 Selections
Akeem Ayers - Outside Linebacker - UCLA - 2 Selections
Jimmy Smith - Cornerback - Colorado - 2 Selections
Anthony Castonzo - Offensive Tackle - Boston College - 1 Selection
Stephen Paea - Defensive Tackle - Oregon State - 1 Selection
Phil Taylor - Defensive Tackle - Baylor - 1 Selection
J.J. Watt - Defensive End - Wisconsin - 1 Selection
The Texans defense was atrocious last year and 49 of the 50 picks in the mock drafts were defensive picks so it is clear where they need to improve. Aldon Smith can be an edge rusher in Wade Phillips' 3-4 Defense and is very good at getting to the quarterback, as he registered 11.5 sacks in his final season at Mizzou. Though it may be a reach, he fits the new scheme very well, and could have the same impact Brian Orakpo had with the Redskins.
12th Pick: Minnesota Vikings (6-10)
12 of 33
Consensus Pick
Cam Newton - Quarterback - Auburn - 14 Selections
Other Picks
Jake Locker - Quarterback - Washington - 8 Selections
Nate Solder - Offensive Tackle - Colorado - 6 Selections
Tyron Smith - Offensive Tackle - USC - 4 Selections
Ryan Mallet - Quarterback - Arkansas - 4 Selections
Blaine Gabbert - Quarterback - Missouri - 3 Selections
Ryan Kerrigan - Defensive End - Purdue - 2 Selections
Aldon Smith - Outside Linebacker - Missouri - 2 Selections
Cameron Jordan - Defensive End - California - 1 Selection
Adrian Clayborn - Defensive End - Iowa - 1 Selection
Stephen Paea - Defensive Tackle - Oregon State - 1 Selection
Prince Amukamara - Cornerback - Nebraska - 1 Selection
Robert Quinn - Defensive End - North Carolina - 1 Selection
Julio Jones - Wide Receiver - Alabama - 1 Selection
Da'Quan Bowers - Defensive End - Clemson - 1 Selection
Life after number 4 has begun in Minnesota and their first task is finding somebody to replace him. Though they could trade for a Quarterback, that would only be a short term solution. If Cam Newton is available at number 12, the Vikings would pick him, though another Offensive Lineman wouldn't go amiss. Don't be surprised if they go Defensive End or Defensive Tackle here as Ray Edwards is will likely leave the team and the Williams wall isn't getting any younger.
13th Pick: Detroit Lions (6-10)
13 of 33
Consensus Pick
Akeem Ayers - Outside Linebacker - UCLA - 15 Selections
Other Picks
Nate Solder - Offensive Tackle - Colorado - 10 Selections
Brandon Harris - Cornerback - Miami(FL) - 5 Selections
Tyron Smith - Offensive Tackle - USC - 4 Selections
Prince Amukamara - Cornerback - Nebraska - 3 Selections
Von Miller - Outside Linebacker - Texas A&M - 2 Selections
Aldon Smith - Outside Linebacker - Missouri - 2 Selections
Adrian Clayborn - Defensive End - Iowa - 2 Selections
Anthony Castonzo - Offensive Tackle - Boston College - 2 Selections
Robert Quinn - Defensive End - North Carolina - 1 Selection
Julio Jones - Wide Receiver - Alabama - 1 Selection
Mark Ingram - Running Back - Alabama - 1 Selection
Jimmy Smith - Cornerback - Colorado - 1 Selection
J.J. Watt - Defensive End - Wisconsin - 1 Selection
The Detroit Lions have been gradually building their way up to being a playoff contender and are primed to make a run for the playoff this year. They have holes at Cornerback, Linebacker and Offensive Tackle. Ayers has has all the tools to make it in the NFL, including leadership which he showed on a young UCLA Defense. He is big and fast and can line up at Defensive End or Linebacker, making him a nightmare for Offensive Coordinators.
14th Pick: St. Louis Rams (7-9)
14 of 33
Consensus Pick
Julio Jones - Wide Receiver - Alabama - 33 Selections
Other Picks
Cameron Jordan - Defensive End - California - 3 Selections
Akeem Ayers - Outside Linebacker - Outside Linebacker - 3 Selections
Aldon Smith - Outside Linebacker - Missouri - 2 Selections
Ryan Kerrigan - Defensive End - Purdue - 2 Selections
Von Miller - Outside Linebacker - Texas A&M - 1 Selection
Jonathan Baldwin - Wide Receiver - Pittsburgh - 1 Selection
Leonard Hankerson - Wide Receiver - Miami(FL) - 1 Selection
Jimmy Smith - Cornerback - Colorado - 1 Selection
Stephen Paea - Defensive Tackle - Oregon State - 1 Selection
Adrian Clayborn - Defensive End - Iowa - 1 Selection
J.J. Watt - Defensive End - Wisconsin - 1 Selection
This Pick is very straight forward. The Rams need a Receiver. Julio Jones is a Receiver. Any Questions? This pick could start a great NFL QB-WR duo for years to come, as both of them are very young and very talented. However, if Julio Jones is selected before the 14th pick, No other wide receiver is really worth of the 14th pick, so they turn their attention to finding someone to play opposite of Chris Long at Defensive End.
15th Pick: Miami Dolphins (7-9)
15 of 33
Consensus Pick
Mark Ingram - Running Back - Alabama - 29 Selections
Other Picks
Cam Newton - Quarterback - Auburn - 5 Selections
Mike Pouncey - Offensive Guard - Florida - 4 Selections
Ryan Mallet - Quarterback - Arkansas - 3 Selections
Jake Locker - Quarterback - Washington - 2 Selections
Colin Kaepernick - Quarterback - Nevada - 1 Selection
Adrian Clayborn - Defensive End - Iowa - 1 Selection
Aldon Smith - Outside Linebacker - Missouri - 1 Selection
Akeem Ayers - Outside Linebacker - UCLA - 1 Selection
Robert Quinn - Defensive End - North Carolina - 1 Selection
Mikel LeShoure - Running Back - Illinois - 1 Selection
Tyron Smith - Offensive Tackle - USC - 1 Selection
With Ronnie Brown and Ricky Williams leaving at the end of the season, the Dolphins have a huge hole at Running Back. The former Heisman Trophy winner from Alabama is a great between the tackles runner and will fight for every yard. Though many suggest that the Dolphins should draft a Quarterback, there is more need for a Running Back than Quarterback.
16th Pick: Jacksonville Jaguars (8-8)
16 of 33
Consensus Pick
Ryan Kerrigan - Defensive End - Purdue - 19 Selections
Other Picks
Robert Quinn - Defensive End - North Carolina - 5 Selections
Adrian Clayborn - Defensive End - Iowa - 4 Selections

Stefen Wisniewski - Offensive Guard - Penn State - 1 Selection
Jake Locker - Quarterback - Washington - 1 Selection
Akeem Ayers - Outside Linebacker - UCLA - 1 Selection
Torrey Smith - Wide Receiver - Maryland - 1 Selection
Jacksonville need to upgrade their pass rush if they ever want to knock the Colts off the top of the AFC South. Therefore, Kerrigan is the man for the job. He has a great motor and put up great numbers at Purdue. His speed isn't the best in the draft but he has huge potential and could be a pro-bowlers for many years to come.
17th Pick: New England Patriots (From The Oakland Raiders) (8-8)

Gabe Carimi - Offensive Tackle - Wisconsin - 1 Selection
Derek Sherrod - Offensive Tackle - 1 Selection
The Patriots Defense performed better than most people expected with Jerod Mayo becoming a Beast and Tackling Machine. The one part of the defense which struggles was the Outside Linebacker pass rush. With Cameron Jordan, they have a player who can rush the passer consistently and effectively. However if he isn't available, J.J Watt can bring the same kind of pressure coming off the edge of the 3-4 defense.
18th Pick: San Diego Chargers (9-7)

Though the Chargers Defense was one of the best in the league last year, they have lost their Coordinator in Ron Riviera who is now Head Coach of the Carolina Panthers. Other than Shaun Phillips, the Chargers haven't got much to offer at Outside Linebacker. However, if Ayers, Jordan and Smith are taken, J.J. Watt would fill in nicely at Defensive End in the Chargers 3-4 system as the chargers will be losing two Defensive Ends to free agency
19th Pick: New York Giants (10-6)

Tyron Smith - Offensive Tackle - USC - 13 Selections

Jimmy Smith - Cornerback - Colorado - 1 Selection
With an aging Offensive Line, it's clear that the Giants need fresh, young blood. Though Tyron Smith is the consensus pick, this could all change after the combine. All of the offensive linemen listed can all step in and help the Giants, but Tyron is probably the quickest of them all. And even though he is lighter than the rest of them, his athleticism will separate him from the rest
20th Pick: Tampa Bay Buccaneers (10-6)

The Tampa Bay Buccaneers were one of last year's surprise team and narrowly missed out on the playoffs. Though they were an injury ridden team, It was clear they were in need of a Defensive End who could cause havoc in the passing game. Though Clayborn didn't have a monster Senior season, He was game planned against more often to reduce his impact on the game. He could form a very nice partnership with the Brian Price and Gerald McCoy which would be a force for a long time in the NFC South

The Chiefs are coming off an AFC winning season yet seemed to crumble when entering the playoffs. They have a relatively young team with last years rookie Eric Berry turning into a very good player. However, they lack another edge rusher opposite from Tamba Hali. Justin Houston can be just the man for the job. In his final season at Georgia, Houston racked up 18.5 tackles and 10 sacks. If he can replicate those kind of numbers in Kansas City, The Chiefs should be playoff bound once again.
22nd Pick: Indianapolis Colts (10-6)

Brandon Harris - Cornerback - Miami(FL) - 1 Selection
From the looks of things, the Indianapolis Colts are going to take whichever Offensive Lineman falls to them. And rightly so. The Colts need to keep Peyton Manning upright if they want to get back to the Superbowl. Castonzo is 6-7 and 308lbs but could easily fill out his frame more. Also, Castonzo can help pave the way for a colts running game which struggled last year.
23rd Pick: Philadelphia Eagles (10-6)

Nate Solder -Offensive Tackle - Colorado - 1 Selection
Yet again, another case of taking whichever Offensive Lineman falls to them. In this case, the Eagles manage to grab a big tackle to play opposite of Jason Peters. Though he may not be NFL ready, he is an excellent run blocker, so you can expect him to play Left Tackle and guard Mike Vick's open side. He may need a bit of work on his pass protection, as he has come from a run heavy offense in Wisconsin.

Tied for joint most selections, Corey Liuget and Stephen Paea are both good picks for the Saints. Corey Liuget is projected as a late 1st - early 2nd round pick by most draft experts while Stephen Paea is projected as a late first round pick. Both Player's weaknesses are the other player's strength. Liuget is less technical than Paea but Liuget is bigger than Paea with bigger arms. Both will be a good fit for the Saints, though most draft experts have Paea ahead of Liuget on their draft boards.

With Matt Hasselbeck's years as a NFL Quarterback come to an end, the Seahawks are in the position to take a local Quarterback in Jake Locker. Though many disagree on whether they should select Mallet or Locker, you have to go for the player with the most upside, and that player is Locker. This is a player who could have rivaled Sam Bradford for the 1st overall pick last year. Though he was disappointing last year for Washington, Pete Carroll knows what Locker can do. Give Locker a year of learning under Hasselbeck and he should be a great NFL Quarterback

The Baltimore Ravens had concerns about their Cornerback situation at the start of the season and though Lardarius Webb played well at one Cornerback position, the defense was still exposed in the passing game. Having Ed Reed for a full season will definitely help rejuvenate the defense, and having two lock down Cornerbacks will give the Baltimore Defense more bite. If Harris is still their at number 26, expect the Ravens to snatch him. However if he is gone, Jimmy Smith is a more than respectable alternative

Nobody really knows what the Falcons need going into the draft with 25 different players selected. However, they can build for the future. Tony Gonzalez is still a great Tight End, but he is getting old. Kyle Rudolph will be able to develop under, arguably, the best Tight End in NFL history if the Falcons Select him. Another proposal is that they draft Justin Houston, who would be a good steal for the Falcons. However, they did draft Sean Weatherspoon last year, and it would be unlikely to draft two players who play the same position two years in a row. Another proposal would be to draft a Wide Receiver to play opposite from Roddy White. White had one of the best years for a Wide Receiver last year, so it shouldn't surprise the Falcons if he is double-covered more often. Therefore, another dangerous receiver on the opposite flank would be a nice option.

The Patriots were the best team in the regular season last year, so they don't really have many holes to fill. One of those holes could be the Running Back position. With The Law Firm having a strong year last year and Danny Woodhead having a nice season in specialist packages, you wouldn't think that there would be a need to draft a Running Back. However, It is still debatable as to whether Green-Ellis can be a full time back. We know Woodhead a novelty back who is played all over the place, so if Green-Ellis were to get injured, would he be able to handle the load?

The Bears are the bottom feeders of this first round as they will take whatever Offensive Lineman they have highest on their board Though Mike Tice solidified an extremely porous offensive line, J'Marcus Webb really isn't up to the NFL caliber.Though Roberto Garza and Olin Kruetz are getting old, they can still do a job, which will will be good enough for the Bears. Whichever Tackle the Bears pick will go right in at Left Tackle and Frank Omiyale will move over to the right side.

The Jets have lost Kris Jenkins to two ACL season ending injuries in two years and Shaun Ellis and Trevor Pryce are set to hit free agency. Because of this, the decision to pick Phil Taylor(not to be confused with the Darts play, despite the same figure) becomes an easy one for Rex Ryan and Mike Tannenbaum. Taylor is big, strong and will be able to play Nose Tackle or Defensive End in the Jets' 3-4

Wouldn't it be just fitting if the Pouncey Brothers were re-united in Pittsburgh? As fairytale as it sounds, it might be about to become a reality. The Steelers are in need of solidifying their Offensive Line and Mike Pouncey is a quality, versatile player. Though they also need help at Cornerback with Williams and Smith, the Steelers will end up regretting if thy passed on Mike Pouncey.

The Green Bay Packers have the enviable quandary of who to pick last pick in the 1st round. And with winning the Superbowl, the team has very few holes to fill. One area they could strengthen is the Running Back area. Though James Starks played well in the playoffs and Ryan Grant is due back next year, it is not clear whether both of them will be able to revive their form. Mikel LeShoure had a fantastic season with the Fighting Illini. However, as LeShoure is projected at being taken by the Patriots at number 28, Muhammad Wilkerson might be the best available player for them. Cullen Jenkins is set to become an Unrestricted Free Agent and Wilkerson could step right in to the spot. He played at Defensive Tackle at Temple, though he could easily play Defensive End in the Packers 3-4.
