NFL Draft Mock Draft 1

1. Indianapolis (2-14): QB Andrew Luck (Stanford)- turn the page on the Manning era.

2. St. Louis (2-14): OT Matt Kalil (USC)- I expect someone to trade up for RG3 but if they don't I expect them to take an OT.

3. Minnesota (3-13) : OT Riley Reiff (Iowa)- They are in desperate need for a legit LT. They took their QB last year with Ponder now they can protect him with a better option than Charlie Johnson.

4. Cleveland (4-12): QB RG3 (Baylor)- A team will trade up to take him at 2. I'm not going to even try and predict trades so that leaves Cleveland at 4 to take him. They have Colt Mccoy but for some reason seem unimpressed.

5. Tampa Bay (4-12): Trent Richardson (Bama)- With getting Schiano they get a coach who loves to run the ball. Right now they have Blount who is a decent option but far from elite.

6. Washington (5-11): Ryan Tannehill (Texas AM)- I expect the Skins to do one of three things. 1- trade up to 2 and draft RG3. 2- trade down and draft Tannehill. 3- Sign Manning. I'm not real high on Tannehill.

7. Jacksonville (5-11): Morris Claiborne (LSU)- Jacksonville had one of the worst secondaries last year. Claiborne is a stud and would normally go higher.

8. Miami (6-10): Quinton Coples (UNC)- Coples is a legit pass rusher and the Fins are moving to a 4-3 D and need a great pass rusher.

9. Carolina (6-10): Devon Still (Penn St.)- The Panthers hemorrhaged yardage last year and it was mainly due to a less than fantastic d.line and LB core. Still has a lot of potential but needs some refinement.

10. Buffalo (6-10): Melvin Ingram (South Carolina)- The Bills are moving to a 4-3 but they may use the 3-4 some. Ingram is a versatile player and would be great in Buffalo.

11. Kansas City (7-9): Jonathan Martin (Stanford)- This will give them the chance to move Albert to either LG or RT.

12. Seattle (7-9): Nick Perry (USC)- Seattle could use a pass rusher and Carrol can dip into his old talent pool and grab a good pass rusher.

13. Arizona (8-8): Courtney Upshaw (Bama)- Upshaw is a beast. Az has lacked a great pass rusher and Upshaw is versatile.

14. Dallas (8-8): Dre Kirkpatrick (Bama)- Dallas has been targeting Kirkpatrick for awhile. He is a tall CB who is a great talent.

15. Philadelphia (8-8): Michael Brockers (LSU)- Brockers is a good versatile player. They could use him at DE, DT, etc.... He fits what Reid does in being a DT and Philly rotate the D.line a lot.

16. New York Jets (8-8): Justin Blackmon (Ok St)- Some may be surprised he slips this low but their just isn't a good spot before here. The Jets could use a big wr to replace Plax.

17. Cincinnati - from Oakland (8-8): David Decastro (Stanford)- He is an elite player and I will probably have him going higher next mock draft. Cincy is in need of a lot of things but Decastro could be too good a value to pass up.

18. San Diego (8-8): Whitney Mercilus (Illinois)- Mercilus is a productive college player that many in scouting circles are not a fan of. The Chargers need a pass rushing LB.

19. Chicago (8-8): Michael Floyd (Notre Dame)- Floyd is a good prospect and I think he will have a better combine than people think. Ever since Mike Tice took over as OC he has stressed the need of a great WR.

20. Tennessee (9-7): Cordy Glenn (UGA)- The Titans need to give RB Chris Johnson some help up front.

21. Cincinnati* (9-7): Janoris Jenkins (N. Alabama) An immensely talented guy who has had major problems with weed. The Bengals won't mind as they are always willing to take chances.

22. Cleveland - from Atlanta* (10-6): Kendall Wright (Baylor) Wright is a speedy WR and that's one thing Cleveland's WR's have really lacked.

23. Detroit* (10-6): Vontaze Burfict (AZ. St) Burfict would be perfect for Detroit's system. He is athletic and can hit. He plays with a nastiness that Detroit could appreciate.

24. Pittsburgh* (12-4): Dont'a Hightower (Bama)- Pittsburgh really needs to start remaking an aging D. Hightower would be great in Pittsburgh.

25. Denver* (8-8): Lamar Miller (U of Miami)- They need to provide Tebow with as much as they can. As sad as it is for me to say Moreno is a bust and anything you get from him is a bonus. Mcgahee was great last year but can he repeat?

26. Houston* (10-6): Mohamed Sanu (Rutgers)- A versatile playmaker he would be great with Andre Johnson as Kevin Walter is average.

27. New England - from New Orleans* (13-3): Mark Barron (Bama)- The Pats won't risk having Barron picked before their second pick. Barron should step in immediately as soon as he is healthy and be a great starter for them. The NFL is a pass 1st league and it's obvious that the Pats secondary is not up to par.

28. Green Bay* (15-1): Jerel Worthy (Michigan St) I think GB will try and build some depth on the D.line. DE is a spot they can focus on since Pickett is a little older.

29. Baltimore* (12-4): Peter Konz (Wisconsin) He gives the Ravens a great young linemen to build around inside. It's unknown if Matt Birk will retire or not. If he comes back they could use Konz at OG which is also a need.

30. San Francisco* (13-3): Jared Crick (Nebraska) He would give them more rotation up front.

31. New England* (13-3): Reuben Randle (LSU) They need a great WR and Randle is very underrated.

32. New York Giants* (9-7) Luke Kuechly (Boston College) A FANTASTIC value pick here. Kuechly would immediately compete for a starting job and could get one.

The Jags defense was the strength of the team last year; I don't see them taking a CB that high, especially if Blackmon is still available.

Love the Barron pick for NE. He's a complete safety and would be a great compliment to Chung. I'm not a fan of the Pats taking a WR in the first though, I'd rather them get a DE/DT and then go for WR later on in the draft if not in free agency.

I think the Broncos reach a bit for Coby Fleener to give Tebow the safety valve he needs.

Unless he trashes the combines, Vontaze Burfict should go in the first.

The strength was the ability to stop the run not the pass.

Dwayne Allen from Clemson is much more likely and I almost had them taking him.

Yeah i agree K-Train, i had Adams out of the first until i saw him at the senior bowl, he shut out everybody there besides that one coverage sack upshaw got, he'll def go higher in my next one.

Great mock AW, one thing from my perspective...I think Schofield and Acho are just enough to keep Arizona from going olb in the first, i think they take any olineman they can get their hands on.
