1. Indianapolis Colts-Andrew Luck-Quarterback-Stanford
Colts owner Jim Irsay can be quiet as much as he wants to, but we
all now that The Colts will draft Luck. Mr. Luck will become the face of
the franchise for the next decade in Indy.

Fans in The Nation’s Capitol are ready to purchase shirts promoting
RG3. Griffin will be the next coming of Philadelphia Eagles
quarterback Michael Vick.

3. Minnesota Vikings-Matt Kalil-Offensive Tackle-USC
The Vikings are interested in trading this pick but if they cannot
find a dance partner Kalil will be there guy. Kalil is the best
offensive tackle prospect in this draft and he can come in and start
immediately.

4. Cleveland Browns-Trent Richardson-Running Back-Alabama
When Browns general manager Mike Holmgren was in Seattle, he struck
it big by drafting Alabama running back Shaun Alexander. Alexander
helped The Seahawks reach The Super Bowl in 2005. Drafting Richardson
would be a step in that direction.

Cornerback Aqib Talib could be in prison and The Bucs cannot take
any chances. Claiborne is a play maker that will not be afraid of the
bright lights in The National Football League.

6. St. Louis Rams-Justin Blackmon-Wide Receiver-Oklahoma State
If you watched The Rams play last season you know that this team
lacked explosion on offense. New Rams head coach Jeff Fisher believes in
quarterback Sam Bradford. For Bradford to be effective, he needs
targets on the outside. Blackmon gives The Rams instant credibility at
the wide receiver position

7. Jacksonville Jaguars-Melvin Ingram-Outside Linebacker-South Carolina
The Jaguars have not been a good team at rushing the passer. Ingram
has a high motor and he is just scratching the surface as far as his
ability.

8. Miami Dolphins-Ryan Tannehill-Quarterback-Texas A&M
Fans of The Dolphins might be skeptical of this pick, but with a
new head coach in Joe Philbin he might want to start fresh at the
quarterback position. Miami was turned down by quarterbacks Peyton
Manning and Matt Flynn, but they won’t be spurned by Tannehill.

9. Carolina Panthers-Fletcher Cox-Defensive Tackle-Mississippi State
The Panthers are on the cusp of competing for a playoff spot in The
NFC. In a division with quarterbacks Drew Brees, Matt Ryan, and Josh
Freeman it is imperative for Carolina to put pressure on the passer.

10. Buffalo Bills-Riley Reiff-Offensive Tackle-Iowa
The Bills paid quarterback Ryan Fitzpatrick and wide receiver Steve
Johnson and they must protect Fitzpatrick in order to get the ball to
Johnson. The Bills could take wide receiver Michael Floyd here, but the
need on the offensive line is greater.

11. Kansas City Chiefs-David DeCastro-Guard-Stanford
One thing about The Chiefs under head coach Romeo Crennel is that
they will be a physical team on both sides of the ball. DeCastro will be
a perfect fit in KC.

12. Seattle Seahawks-Luke Kuechly-Inside Linebacker-Boston College
Seahawks head coach Pete Carroll loves instinctive players, and Kuechly might be on of the smartest players in this draft.
13. Arizona Cardinals-Michael Floyd-Wide Receiver-Notre Dame
A few years ago The Cardinals made a big mistake in trading wide
receiver Anquan Boldin to The Baltimore Ravens. Since then wide receiver
Larry Fitzgerald has lacked a tag team partner at the receiver position
in the desert. Floyd is physical receiver that will help Fitzgerald see
less double teams.

14. Dallas Cowboys-Michael Brockers-Defensive Tackle-LSU
The Cowboys have a need in the secondary, but Brockers is too good
to pass on. By Dallas drafting Brockers it gives them the ability to
slide nose tackle Jay Ratliff to the defensive end position.

The Eagles draft plans changed when offensive tackle Jason Peters
ruptured his Achilles tendon recently. Glenn is a versatile lineman that
can play both guard and tackle.

16. New York Jets-Courtney Upshaw-Outside Linebacker-Alabama
Since coming to Gotham, Jets head coach has lacked a top-tier pass
rusher. Upshaw played in a 3-4 scheme at The University of Alabama under
head coach Nick Saban and he won’t skip a beat for The J-E-T-S Jets,
Jets, Jets!!!!

17. Cincinnati Bengals-Kendall Wright-Wide Receiver-Baylor
The Bengals could draft a cornerback here, but if they do they
won’t get Wright at pick number 21. Wright is a speedy deep threat that
could help make Cincy the most explosive offensive team in The AFC
North.

18. San Diego Chargers-Whitney Mercilus-Outside Linebacker-Illinois
The Chargers drafted Larry English a few years ago in the first
round to be a pass rusher and he has not panned out. Mercilus led the
nation in sacks last season with 16 and will be a welcome addition in
San Diego.

19. Chicago Bears-Quinton Coples-Defensive End-North Carolina
Coples has been compared by some scouts to Julius Peppers. Wouldn’t
it be fitting that Coples would go to Chicago and play with his fellow
North Carolina Tar Heel alum?

20. Tennessee Titans-Nick Perry-Defensive End-USC
While at The University of Southern California, Perry majored in
getting to the quarterback. Last season, Perry led The Pac-12 in sacks
with 9.5. Perry can come in immediately and start in Nashville.

The Bengals got their wide receiver at pick 17, and now they can
draft a cornerback. Kirkpatrick plays with a swagger that will rub off
of on his teammates for The Bengals.

22. Cleveland Browns-Stephen Hill-Wide Receiver-Georgia Tech
Last season the only team from The AFC North not to make the
playoffs were The Browns. In order to compete with the rest of the
decision, Browns general manager Mike Holmgren knows that his team must
put points on the scoreboard.

23. Detroit Lions-Johnathan Martin-Offensive Tackle-Stanford
The Lions will go into 2012 with legitimate aspirations of winning
The Super Bowl, but for that to become a reality, quarterback Matthew
Stafford must be protected. The Lions could take an outside linebacker
with this selection, but the greater need is on the offensive line.

24. Pittsburgh Steelers-Stephon Gilmore-Cornerback-South Carolina
The Steelers will take a long look at defensive tackle Dontari Poe
because Casey Hampton is getting older, but anyone who saw The Steelers
lose to The Denver Broncos in last season’s AFC Wild Card saw a
secondary that is in need of an upgrade.

25. Denver Broncos-Dontari Poe-Defensive Tackle-Memphis
The Steelers loss will be The Broncos gain. If Poe slips by
Pittsburgh, The Broncos will scoop him up as fast as John Elway lured
Peyton Manning to Denver. Broncos head coach is building a championship
defense in The Rocky Mountains.

26. Houston Texans-Mike Adams-Offensive Tackle-Ohio State
The Texans lost offensive tackle Eric Winston to free agency. By
drafting Adams they will continue to have one of the best running games
in football with running backs Ben Tate and Arian Foster.

27. New England Patriots-Shea McClellin-Outisde Linebacker-Boise State
More than likely The Patriots will trade this selection as head
coach Bill Belichick always looks towards the future. If The Pats hold
on to this selection, they will get a player with a high motor in
McClellin who will fit into The Patriots versatile scheme.

28. Green Bay Packers-Andre Branch-Defensive End-Clemson
The Packers need a pass rusher to compliment Clay Matthews. Branch
came to Clemson as an outside linebacker but converted to defensive end.
Branch could be more of a situational player at first, but it would be a
welcome addition in Green Bay.

29. Baltimore Ravens-Peter Konz-Center-Wisconsin
Ravens center Matt Birk is 35-years old and Konz could play guard
until Birk retires. When Ravens general manager Ozzie Newsome drafts a
player in the first round, he tends to start in Baltimore for the next
decade.

30. San Francisco 49ers-Kevin Zeitler-Guard-Wisconsin
The 49ers enter the draft without a glaring weakness and are in the
position to draft the best athlete available. One thing about 49ers
head coach Jim Harbaugh is that his teams will get off of the bus
running the football and what a better way to add to that trend by
drafting a mauler in Zeitler.

If The Patriots keep pick number 27, then they will trade this

guy. Running back BenJarvus Green-Ellis is now with The Bengals leaving
The Patriots with a void in the backfield.

32. New York Giants-Coby Fleener-Tight End-Stanford
The Giants just signed free-agent tight end Martellus Bennett, but
they could use Fleener in the H-back role. Fleener is a hybrid tight end
that can give them a change of pace at the tight end position. The rich
get richer as The Super Bowl Champions get another target for
quarterback Eli Manning.
