So what If I look like a douche.
1. Miami Dolphins: Jake Long OT Michigan. A solid low risk draft pick for a team that's got no where to go but up. Look for Ronnie Brown to have a good year running behind that left side this season.
2. St.Louis Rams: Vernon Gholston DE Ohio State. Many think that Glenn Dorsey is the pick to use here, but where the rams need the most help is defensive end. They drafted a DT just last year and this draft is very deep at the D line position. Gholston gives them pass rush, speed and strength at the end. I think they go with Gholston over Chris Long on sheer size and strength alone.
3.Atlanta Falcons : Glenn Dorsey DT LSU. Dorsey is an immediate starter on a team that needs a whole lot of help. Many believe that Matt Ryan is who the Falcons should pick, but I believe they will shore up their defense and try for QB in the second round.
4. NY Jets from the Oakland Raiders: Darren McFadden RB Arkansas. I believe the Jets will trade up to get McFadden. They are in desperate need of a game breaker and this could be just the RB to do it.
5. Kansas City Chiefs: Chris Long DE Virginia. The son of Howie Long and in my mind the best athlete in this draft. He is strong, fast,quick with great hands and has the pedigree. He's a shade undersized compared to Gholston, but what he lacks in size he more than makes up for in motor and football smarts. Plus he fits Edwards 3-4 and can play both end and LB.
6. Oakland Raiders from NY Jets: Branden Albert, OG Virginia. The Raiders need a ton of help on that O line. Robert Gallery is a bust. Even with moving him inside to guard it isn't helping him enough. Granted the track suit likes to take flash over substance, but I think he realizes that he's got a lot of money tied up in a very young QB and needs to invest in a line to protect him.
7. New England Patriots from The San Fransisco 49ers: Keith Rivers LB USC. Even though I hate to see another USC alum going to the cheatriots I think he will go there provided they do not trade out of this position. Rivers has much to learn at the next level, but he has all the tools.
8. Baltimore Ravens: Matt Ryan QB Boston College. Matt Ryan many thought would be the consensus #1 overall pick. It turns out that Miami felt that the QB they picked up in the second round last year is worth working with. Ryan is best known for a nationally televised game against Virginia Tech where he miraculously brought his team back to win in the last 30 seconds. He's got a good arm and desire to win. Baltimore is in need of a lot but most importantly a franchise QB with the retirement of Steve McNair and Kyle Boller being , well Kyle Boller.
9. Cincinnati Bengals: Sedrick Ellis, DT USC. Cinci is in a downward spiral and the defense is second in line to be blamed behind Chad Johnson and Marvin Lewis. They lost Justin Smith to free agency and they need as much help as they can get on the D Line that was porous at best this season.
10. New Orleans Saints: Leodis McKelvin, CB Troy State. The best CB in the draft, on paper at least. Personally I believe Dominique Rodgers-Cromartie is just as good, but he has only come on the scene as of late and there's not enough game film on him. Both are very capable of being the first CB taken in the draft. This one is a toss up. New Orleans does need secondary help in a bad way. They've been torched for 2 seasons.
Annnnd I'm spent.
