|
1 | |
Luke Joeckel | | | OT | | Texas A&M
Jr.6-6306 |
| | | | The top-caliber modern-day tackle. Blocked for a pocket QB (Ryan Tannehill) in '11 and a mobile one (Johnny Manziel) in '12. | | | | | |
|
|
2 | |
Ziggy Ansah | | | DE | | BYU
Sr.6-5271 |
| | | | The Jags want to move down. If they stick where they are, new coach Gus Bradley goes for a D presence who he hopes has instant pass-rush impact. | | | | | |
|
|
3 | |
Sharrif Floyd | | | DT | | Florida
Jr.6-3297 |
| | | | With possibly nine new starters on D, the Raiders need everything. Floyd replaces a free agent they hated to lose: DT Desmond Bryant. | | | | | |
|
|
4 | |
Dion Jordan | | | DE/OLB | | Oregon
Sr.6-6248 |
| | | | Chip Kelly bypasses the strong tackle market and a need at CB to pick an old friend from Oregon. He'll fill those other spots later. | | | | | |
|
|
5 | |
Dee Milliner | | | CB | | Alabama
Jr.6-0201 |
| | | | The worst cover team in the league over the last four years ought to have its head examined if it picks anything but a CB or OT. | | | | | |
|
|
6 | |
Eric Fisher | | | OT | | Central Michigan
Sr.6-7306 |
| | | | Acquired from Browns. It costs new GM Tom Telesco a Round 2 pick to move from 11th to sixth overall, but their LT of the future is worth a first- and second-rounder. | | | | | |
|
|
7 | |
Lane Johnson | | | OT | | Oklahoma
Jr.6-6303 |
| | | | There is only one very obvious thing in this draft: If one of the three very good tackles is there for Arizona to take, he'll be a Cardinal. | | | | | |
|
|
8 | |
Chance Warmack | | | OG | | Alabama
Sr.6-2317 |
| | | | The Bills figure they can get their preferred QB in the second round, and they're right. Warmack will be the long-term heir to Andy Levitre. | | | | | |
|
|
9 | |
Barkevious Mingo | | | DE/OLB | | LSU
Sr.6-4241 |
| | | | The Rex Ryan Watch is on, but he gets one last wish: a versatile, physical rusher, and the Mr. Outside to Muhammad Wilkerson's Mr. Inside. | | | | | |
|
|
10 | |
Jonathan Cooper | | | OG | | North Carolina
Sr.6-2311 |
| | | | No question that guard-turned-coach Mike Munchak runs the show in Tennessee after the signing of free agent Andy Levitre and this pick. | | | | | |
|
|
11 | |
Geno Smith | | | QB | | West Virginia
Sr.6-2218 |
| | | | Acquired from Chargers. Don't let the smokescreen acquisition of Jason Campbell, a backup, fool you: the Browns want a QB in this draft, and they get one. | | | | | |
|
|
12 | |
D.J. Fluker | | | OT | | Alabama
Sr.6-5339 |
| | | | Out goes Jake Long; in comes a guy developed by old pal Nick Saban at a position of need. He could be the opening-day RT. | | | | | |
|
|
13 | |
Tavon Austin | | | WR | | West Virginia
Sr.5-9174 |
| | | | Acquired from Buccaneers. The Jets are desperate for playmakers on offense, and Austin might be the best one in the draft. | | | | | |
|
|
14 | |
Sheldon Richardson | | | DT | | Missouri
Jr.6-2294 |
| | | | Anyone who has 14 tackles and a sack against 'Bama's offensive line, which Richardson did last October, can play for me. | | | | | |
|
|
15 | |
Sylvester Williams | | | DT | | North Carolina
Sr.6-3313 |
| | | | I thought it'd be a pass rusher here, and it's very possible that's how the Saints go with their lone top 70 pick. But a versatile defensive tackle's smart too. | | | | | |
|
|
16 | |
Kenny Vaccaro | | | S | | Texas
Sr.6-0214 |
| | | | With Rodney McLeod and Darian Stewart projected as starters at safety, it's time to prioritize the position -- which the Rams will do here. | | | | | |
|
|
17 | |
Jarvis Jones | | | OLB | | Georgia
Jr.6-2245 |
| | | | Great college productivity, but he's sliding. Teams think he'll struggle to pick up difficult schemes. The Steelers will take that chance. | | | | | |
|
|
18 | |
Johnathan Cyprien | | | S | | Florida International
Sr.6-0217 |
| | | | Dallas has a need at safety, and Cyprien -- a climber over the past month -- is the enforcer type the Cowboys' secondary has lacked. | | | | | |
|
|
19 | |
Bjoern Werner | | | DE | | Florida State
Jr.6-3266 |
| | | | This just in: The Giants like to take first-round pass rushers. Productive ones. Werner qualifies: 49 tackles behind the line over the last two years. | | | | | |
|
|
20 | |
Tyler Eifert | | | TE | | Notre Dame
Sr.6-5250 |
| | | | Chicago would rather have a top tackle, but the good ones will be long gone. Instead, Eifert could be Jay Cutler's Day One security blanket. | | | | | |
|
|
21 | |
Eddie Lacy | | | RB | | Alabama
Jr.5-11231 |
| | | | NFL sign of the times: No RBs in the top 20 of the draft. There's a legit chance none go in the first round, but the Bengals love this guy. | | | | | |
|
|
22 | |
DeAndre Hopkins | | | WR | | Clemson
Jr.6-1214 |
| | | | The Rams want to deal out of this because they think they can get WR value in the second or third round. So this spot could move on the fly. | | | | | |
|
|
23 | |
Manti Te'o | | | LB | | Notre Dame
Sr.6-1241 |
| | | | The Vikes have had good luck with Domers -- they have five on the roster -- and GM Rick Spielman thinks the hoax story is overblown. | | | | | |
|
|
24 | |
Xavier Rhodes | | | CB | | Florida State
Jr.6-2210 |
| | | | GM Ryan Grigson's hot streak continues as he gets the No. 2 CB in the draft all the way down at 24. Rhodes is big and confident. | | | | | |
|
|
25 | |
Justin Hunter | | | WR | | Tennessee
Jr.6-4196 |
| | | | They could take Cordarrelle Patterson, who reminds some of troubled Randy Moss, but they opt for the safer, bigger (6-foot-4) Vols receiver. | | | | | |
|
|
26 | |
Star Lotulelei | | | DT | | Utah
Sr.6-3320 |
| | | | A classic example of Packers GM Ted Thompson's taking the best player on the board. Patience is a virtue this year. And Star will be a star. | | | | | |
|
|
27 | |
Keenan Allen | | | WR | | California
Jr.6-2206 |
| | | | Cal's all-time leading pass catcher is a smart play here. Allen, who's 6-2 and physical, will be a great bookend to Andre Johnson. | | | | | |
|
|
28 | |
Datone Jones | | | DE | | UCLA
Sr.6-3283 |
| | | | Though not a classic pass rusher, the three-year college starter fits the bill of developmental outside rush man to replace Elvis Dumervil. | | | | | |
|
|
29 | |
Terrance Williams | | | WR | | Baylor
Sr.6-2208 |
| | | | Not widely beloved, but a tall (6-2), physical receiver with 51 games of experience and the ability to beat corners. The Pats don't have that. | | | | | |
|
|
30 | |
Desmond Trufant | | | CB | | Washington
Sr.5-11190 |
| | | | There aren't many four-year starters in college these days, but Trufant is one -- against big-time West Coast attacks. Atlanta needs a starting corner. | | | | | |
|
|
31 | |
Cordarrelle Patterson | | | WR | | Tennessee
Jr.6-2216 |
| | | | A juco convert, he had only one year in D-I, and he comes with discipline concerns. This is a reach, but Jim Harbaugh's 49ers don't fear different kids. | | | | | |
|
|
32 | |
Arthur Brown | | | LB | | Kansas State
Sr.6-0241 |
| | | | "Hell of a football player and leader," said one opposing scout of the two-year K-State captain after he transferred from Miami. | | | | | |
