Draft-eligible non-seniors are denoted by an asterisk.

1. Kansas City Chiefs

Luke Joeckel*, OT, Texas A&M
The best player available in the draft, and he fits a position of need.

2. Jacksonville Jaguars

Ezekiel Ansah, DE, BYU
Pass rush is a significant issue, and Ansah offers a high ceiling.

3. Oakland Raiders

Sharrif Floyd*, DT, Florida
They need production and versatility up front, and Floyd will provide both.

4. Philadelphia Eagles

Geno Smith, QB, West Virginia
More inclined to believe they'll trade up from their Round 2 pick to get him later in Round 1, but can't reflect that here.

5. Detroit Lions

Dee Milliner*, CB, Alabama
They need help at cornerback, and Milliner is the best one on the board.

6. Cleveland Browns

Dion Jordan, DE/OLB, Oregon
A perfect fit for their scheme. If he gets here, I expect them to pounce.

7. Arizona Cardinals

Eric Fisher, OT, Central Michigan
Does he get past Detroit? That's a question I'll ask a lot of folks this week.

8. Buffalo Bills

Jonathan Cooper, OG, North Carolina
They solidify a pretty good offensive line if they land this elite left guard.

9. New York Jets

Barkevious Mingo*, DE/OLB, LSU
Rex Ryan gets the pass-rusher he needs.

10. Tennessee Titans

Star Lotulelei, DT, Utah
The Titans don't pass on the draft's premier run-game destroyer.

11. San Diego Chargers

Lane Johnson, OT, Oklahoma
My guess is they'll need to trade up for Johnson. Expect a change here.

12. Miami Dolphins

D.J. Fluker, OT, Alabama
They could easily move up to get Johnson or Fisher as well.

13. New York Jets (from Tampa)

Chance Warmack, OG, Alabama
They have a need at guard, and Warmack will be a dominant one.

14. Carolina Panthers

Sheldon Richardson*, DT, Missouri
They simply have to get better at defensive tackle. Sylvester Williams also fits.

15. New Orleans Saints

Jarvis Jones*, OLB, Georgia
A productive pass-rusher in a 3-4 is just what the Saints need.

16. St. Louis Rams

Tavon Austin, WR, West Virginia
Danny Amendola departs, but the versatile Austin can more than replace him.

17. Pittsburgh Steelers

Tyler Eifert, TE, Notre Dame
He'll cause major matchup headaches and adds a new element to the offense.

18. Dallas Cowboys

Sylvester Williams, DT, North Carolina
An aging defensive interior gets a jolt of youth and productivity.

19. New York Giants

Desmond Trufant, CB, Washington
They need an immediate starter at corner, and Trufant could be the guy.

20. Chicago Bears

Manti Te'o, ILB, Notre Dame
They added help in free agency, but this could be a big need soon enough.

21. Cincinnati Bengals

Alec Ogletree*, ILB, Georgia
They're too slow at linebacker, and Ogletree is a guy who can actually cover.

22. St. Louis Rams (from Washington)

Kenny Vaccaro, S, Texas
If the Rams leave Round 1 with Austin and Vaccaro, pop the champagne.

23. Minnesota Vikings

Cordarrelle Patterson*, WR, Tennessee
He needs reps, but if you can get the ball in his hands, he creates points.

24. Indianapolis Colts

Xavier Rhodes*, CB, Florida State
The value lines up at a position of need.

25. Minnesota Vikings

Kevin Minter, LB, LSU
The Vikings might wait for a middle linebacker, but Minter can start right away.

26. Green Bay Packers

Eddie Lacy*, RB, Alabama
A running back is going to go somewhere in Round 1, and I like this fit.

27. Houston Texans

Robert Woods *, WR, USC
A route-runner with great hands, underrated speed and a chip on his shoulder.

28. Denver Broncos

D.J. Hayden, CB, Houston
He could prove to be one of the steals of this draft. Denver needs a CB.

29. New England Patriots

Justin Hunter*, WR, Tennessee
New England really needs a WR who can push safeties back. They could also trade down.

30. Atlanta Falcons

Kyle Long, OL, Oregon
A versatile lineman, Long fills an immediate void at guard and could become an OT.

31. San Francisco 49ers

Margus Hunt, DE, SMU
The 49ers have bet on athletes before and succeeded. Hunt provides depth.

32. Baltimore Ravens

Jonathan Cyprien, S, Florida International
The Ravens need another safety, and Cyprien can capably start in Week 1.

My Raiders get the 3rd pick in a weak ass draft year, i honestly dont give a fukk about who they take at this point, so many boom or bust players I dont wanna get my hopes up.

There is tons of depth in this draft. Y'all need that more then 1 elite player. You can walk out this draft with 4 starters if u draft right

Jets fans (me being one of them) will likely rain boos about a non-sexy Warmack pick, but it fills a big need.

I would be happy with Mingo\Warmack in the first, and hope we can land Hopkins in the second.

I think the Pats will trade out of the first round. And beli has never taken a WR in the first round since he has been with the Pats.

But I am Hoping for Woods or Hunter in the first. The Pats really need to hit on a good X receiver in this draft.

Trufant over Rhodes :leon:

If the Jets get Warmack :win:

I doubt that Dion Jordan gets beyond the 3rd pick he could go 2nd because Jags rate him highly

Kiper is the only human i've seen have the Jags picking Ansah...literally everywhere else has Dion Jordan as the pick
