Jeff's Mock 1st Round

Updated 04/14/2012

No. Team Name Position College

1 Indianapolis Colts Andrew Luck QB Stanford
Luck's a lock.

2 Washington Redskins
From St Louis Rams
Robert Griffin III QB Baylor
'Skins pay a hefty price to trade up, but get a "Franchise QB".

3 Minnesota Vikings Matt Kalil OT USC
If Kalil's there, he fits a humoungus need.

4 Cleveland Browns Trent Richardson RB Alabama
Hillis signed with KC & Trent's the best RB in this year's draft.

5 Tampa Bay Buccaneers Morris Claiborne CB LSU
Barber is almost older than God, so the Bucs draft his eventual replacement.

6 St Louis Rams
From Washington Redskins
Justin Blackmon WR Oklahoma St.
Rams trade down to get extra 1s in '13 & 14, plus get a playmaker in Blackmon.

7 Jacksonville Jaguars Melvin Ingram DT South Carolina
The Jags tried to get a pass rush when they signed Kampman, but he's been injured the last 2 years.

8 Miami Dolphins Ryan Tannehill QB Texas A&M
They didn't get P.Manning, A.Smith or M.Flynn.

9 Carolina Panthers Michael Brockers DT LSU
Athletic big men are hard to find. Carolina gets the most highly rated one this year.

10 Buffalo Bills Riley Reiff OT Iowa
Bills haven't had a LT since the traded Jason Peters (dumb move).

11 Kansas City Chiefs Jonathan Martin OT Stanford
KC fell apart in 2011 & needs EVERYTHING.

12 Seattle Seahawks Luke Kuechly ILB Boston College
They got a QB in free agency, so they defense here.

13 Arizona Cardinals Courtney Upshaw OLB Alabama
Need & BAP (Best Available Player) come together.

14 Dallas Cowboys Dre KirkpatricK CB Alabama
The Cowboys pass defense was terrible in 2011.

15 Philadelphia Eagles Mark Barron S Alabama
Iggles get a very good ball hawk.

16 New York Jets Dontari Poe DT Memphis
Monster combine! King Rex won't stand for ugly defense in 2012.

17 Cincinnati Bengals
From Oakland Raiders
David De Castro G Stanford
Dalton gets a protector.

18 San Diego Chargers Cordy Glenn G Georgia
Chargers offensive line was in shambles at the end of last season, thanks to injuries, including a concussion that led to guard Kris Dielman's retirement.

19 Chicago Bears Mike Adams OT Ohio St
Despite selecting tackles in the first round in recent years, the Bears are still in search of a left tackle that can keep the quarterback upright.

20 Tennessee Titans Quentin Coples DE North Carolina
Titans are praising the Almighty that Ingram si still available.

21 Cincinnati Bengals Janoris Jenkins CB North Alabama
Another wayward soul for marvin Lewis to deal with.

22 Cleveland Browns
From Atlanta Falcons
Michael Floyd WR Notre Dame
One word - PLAYMAKER.

23 Detroit Lions Stephon Gilmore CB South Carolina
There are several moves available for the Lions. They could also go with a WR to team w/ Megatron, but I think they're a bit gun shy on that.

24 Pittsburgh Steelers Stephen Hill WR Georgia Tech
Pitt needs to restock as they're most likely going to to lose Mike Wallace in free agency.

25 Denver Broncos Whitney Mercilus DE Illinois
A decent "D" gets better if he's not a one-year-wonder.

26 Houston Texans Jerel Worthy DT Michigan State
Johnson needs a running mate

27 New England Patriots
From New Orleans Saints
Fletcher Cox DT Mississippi St.
Pats need to get stronger up front.

28 Green Bay Packers Shea McClellin OLB/DE Boise State
Packers fans will be ecstatic because they want a ROLB, just maybe they won't boo Teddy this year.

29 Baltimore Ravens Peter Konz C Wisconsin
Birk is older than dirt, so they need to get younger.

30 San Francisco 49ers Kendall Wright WR Baylor
9ers need more big plays.

31 New England Patriots Lamar Miller RB Miami
Pats went defense with #27, so go offense here.

32 New York Giants Coby Fleener TE Stanford
Giants lost 2 TEs in the SB to acl injuries.
