I'm too tired for an introduction. I'll add a 2nd round at some point.
1. KC: Luke Joeckel-The strength of this draft is at positions the Chiefs are already strong at, but a trade down in unlikely since I don't think anybody wants the 1st pick.
2. Jax: Dion Jordan-I really think Ezekiel Ansah could go here, but Jordan's a little safer, and Jacksonville can't afford another bust.
3. Oak: Sharrif Floyd-There's a good chance the Raiders trade down to somebody looking to get Fisher, but if they make the pick, it has to be D-line. It's a toss-up, but I'll say Floyd.
4. Philly: Eric Fisher-There's a chance they take Geno Smith, but Jason Peters is coming off injury and even if he's healthy, they can use a RT upgrade.
5. Det: Ezekiel Ansah-I've heard Detroit isn't high on Lane Johnson, but they could pick him anyway. If they don't, it's likely down to Miliner or Ansah. Take the pass rusher.
6. Cle: Barkevious Mingo-This comes down to Miliner, Geno, and Keke. I think Miliner could be the guy, but Mingo could be a special pass rusher, and don't draft a CB over a pass rusher.
7. Ari: Lane Johnson-No-brainer for the Cardinals, whose o-line was terrible last year. They'll hurt themselves running up to the podium for this one.
8. Buf: Geno Smith-If Geno drops to them, Buffalo snaps him up quickly. Getting a decent QB is a must in this draft.
9. NYJ: Jarvis Jones-The Jets probably want to trade down with the two top 3-4 pass rushers gone. Jones isn't far behind them, though, and they're OK taking him here.
10. Ten: Dee Miliner-They didn't expect him to be available, and with CB being a big need, they happily take him.
11. SD: Chance Warmack-Teams don't generally value guard this much, but SD has to protect Rivers.
12. Mia: Xavier Rhodes-Miami keeps losing CBs, and addressed almost everything else via free agency. Rhodes is a big, physical CB, the kind the league is moving toward.
13. TB: Star Lotulelei-Desmond Trufant could go here, as they need a CB, but Lotulelei is a top 5 talent, and has gotten a clean bill of health.
14. Car: Sheldon Richardson-Carolina is in dire need of DT help, and Richardson is my 2nd ranked. He'll play right away.
15. NO: Kenny Vaccaro-The Saints are switching to a 3-4 and need players, but all the 3-4 OLBs are gone and the top DTs. The secondary gets a playmaker.
16. StL: Tavon Austin-The pick would have been Vaccaro if he was there, but it's too high for the next safety. I think there's a chance it's Patterson here instead of Austin, but I still pick Austin.
17. Pit: Cordarrelle Patterson-Another team that wanted Vaccaro, but missed out. Antonio Brown was at his best when Wallace stretched the field. Patterson will do that for him now.
18. Dal: Jonathan Cooper-Dallas has to improve the offensive line if they want to compete. Cooper is the best available.
19. NYG: Arthur Brown-The Giants could take a CB too, but Brown is one of the most talented players in the entire draft, and the Giants could use another good LB.
20. Chi: Alec Ogletree- They should take Fluker, but they'll give Bushrod a chance. Cooper is the needed pick, but he's gone. Ogletree is a talented player who fills a need.
21. Cin: DJ Fluker-It's looking more and more like Smith won't be back. They replace one Bama T with another.
22. StL: Jonathan Cyprien-They missed on the top safety, but get the #2 with this pick. His ability to fly to the ball and lay a big hit will have him on the field early and often.
23. Min: Desmond Trufant-The Vikings need a CB and are thrilled that Trufant dropped to them. He's my #3 CB.
24. Ind: Bjoern Werner-The Colts used FA to sign one of everything, so could go a number of ways. Adding a talented lineman is always a good idea.
25. Min: DeAndre Hopkins-The Vikings signed Greg Jennings, but need a long-term #1 WR. Hopkins is my #3 WR. He's explosive and reliable.
26. GB: Damontre Moore-The Packers could take the first RB, here, probably Lacy, but need to work on the defense, especially at LB.
27. Hou: Robert Woods-They almost have to take a WR early, and Woods is my #4. He catches everything and would have been a top 10 pick if he could have left after last year.
28. Den: Tank Carradine-The Broncos lost Elvis Dumervil on a mistake, and need a DE. Carradine is the best available. They could go DT as well.
29. NE: Johnathan Banks-I think it comes down to WR or CB, and since they added some receivers, CB is the pick. Banks is my #4 CB.
30. Atl: Darius Slay-Jamar Taylor is rising up boards, but Slay is still my #5 CB. With Umenyiora signed, the Falcons can improve the secondary.
31. SF: Eric Reid-The Niners need a safety, since they the reason they lost the Super Bowl was in large part the play at the position. Reid is the best available.
32. Bal: Keenan Allen-This comes down to Minter and a WR for me. Rolando McClain isn't an answer, but it might lend them to take a receiver instead.
