Just the way I think it may shake out.

KC- Joeckel (Nitty gritty time Joeckel's the choice, their OL needs take precedence and he's the safest pick at OT)

Jax- Dee Milliner (His stock has skyrocketed and a shutdown corner can be as valuable as anyone on D)

Oak- Dion Jordan (Need pass rushers and his speed will make Al Davis haunt the Raider's dreams until they agree to make him their pick)

Phi- [Trade w/ Jets] NYJ- Geno Smith (I think the Jets move up to get Smith rather than risk losing out on a QB next year despite it looking to be deep on QB's in 2014)

Det- Eric Fisher (Stafford hasn't been able to stay healthy the Lions have to protect him better)

Cle- Lane Johnson (Joeckel and Fisher going makes Cleveland pick the next best OT prospect)

Ariz- Ezekial Ansah (the BYU product is a great prospect at a need position and will appeal to the high #'s of Mormons in their home region)

Buff- Barkevious Mingo (No QB worth taking here, but Mingo could put that DL into the scary good category)

Phi- [from NJY] Sharif Floyd (I think Kelly will take a hard look at drafting Geno Smith, but to pick up an extra pick and maybe nab Tebow for nothing and still get a great D player is worth trading down)

Tenn- Star Loutelei (Titans interior D is suspect, I think they overlook his heart issue)
S.D.- Cordarelle Patterson (Rivers needs weapons, CP is full of talent)

Miami- [Trade w/ N.O.] N.O.- Warmack (I think NO will trade up to get Warmack rather than letting division rivals snag him)

TB- Jarvis Jones (No way he should fall this far but that neck issue will drop him to mid first at best)

Car- Xavier Rhodes/Kenny Vaccaro (I lean towards Rhodes)

Mia- [from N.O.] Tavon Austin (Austin's speed and versatility shouldn't let him drop below the Dolphins)

STL- Barrett Jones (Another suspect line needing help, Jones has the size, mobility, and leadership abilities to be a good center for a long time in the league)

Pit- Bjoern Werner (Beast, I think team needs drop him to the Steelers)

Dal- Sheldon Richardson (nobody knows why Jerry does what Jerry does, I don't think he can resist Richardson)

NYG- Alex Okafor (make a nice addition to that DL the Giants like having as a team strength)

Chi- Keenan Allen (I'm not as high on him as the draft guys, the Bears need playmakers)

Cincy- Vaccaro/Rhodes (whoever Carolina passes on could go here to Cincy)

STL- Eddie Lacy (Need to replace Stephen Jackson, Lacy is the best option. If Knile Davis would have had a good return from his injury I think he'd go here especially with his combine performance)

Minn- Ryan Swope (Released a high priced WR, Greg Childs may never play again, Harvin is so-so and Swope turned heads at the combine)

Indy- Arthur Brown (I think Brown is being under-rated and would be a good addition to the Colts D)

Seattle- Alec Ogletree (Carroll has a really good D in Seattle, adding Ogletree only makes it tougher)

GB- Sam Montgomery (the off the field stuff at LSU could cause teams to pass especially with his so/so Jr. year. I think GB would be dumb to not take him here if he's still on the board)

Hou- Jonathan Cyprien (draft guys think he'll go higher, I'm not buying it and I don't really have any answers why. Just don't recall him being dominant in college)

Den- Tyler Eifert (Getting Peyton some dump off and blocking help)

NE- DJ Fluker (More protection for Brady and a roadgrader to help open the run game some more)

ATL- Damontre Moore (they've needed pass rush help ever since Jamal Anderson busted out)

SF- John Jenkins (NT's are becoming a premium and Willis could use someone to bust up some linemen and keep him free to make plays)

Bal- Kevin Minter (gotta replace Ray)

Outside of the 2 picks you have slotted for St. Louis, I definitely could see alot of this happening. Lacy is a good back, but I think the Rams could nag Bernard or somebody in the 2nd round and build more on the interior with both their 1st round picks. I think Geno Smith has bust written all over him so the Jets picking him makes plenty of sense.

I love Fish, but I don't see him going to Detroit (not saying you did a bad job here). They drafted an offensive tackle last year(Riley Reiff from Iowa), and I'm thinking they might go D. If they did take Fisher, I'm not going to complain...

I think they go with Milliner if he's available or a Defensive End since Avril and Vanden Bosch are gone

I'd be happy with either at 5...although with both Avril and KVB gone, hopefully they can address that position either draft or FA.

No way the Saints move up to take a guard. Not with Evans and Grubbs already on the roster. If anything I think they will trade down. The Saints really have nothing to give in order to move up anyway. With no 2nd they would pretty much be trading away their draft to move up. It doesn't make since to do this for a OG. The Saints have to go Defense with their 1rst pick.

As a Browns fan, I can guarantee we will not take a tackle. We have the best LT in the game in Joe Thomas and spent a 2nd last year on our RT Mitchell Schwartz who was solid

Agree with this.

I'm not saying that det won't take an OL but stafford hasn't gotten hurt the past two years. So saying he can't stay healthy is kinda a thing in the past

If the Saints traded up to get a fricking OG I'd form the lynching mob for Loomis.

sorry but this isn't that great a mock. Jets might as well wait til next year for a QB, Browns don't need a OT, the Bills will likely go for a QB, WR to give Fitz more weapons, or possibly a G to replace Levitre whose a free agent.

Didn't KC just franchise their top OT? I know they said something about moving him to guard and I guess if they pay him OT money he would move to guard if the draft Joeckel.

I wouldn't bet on it, but it would not shock me if they took Milliner.

not in the current day of 3 WR sets and crazy athletic TEs

sure, a corner shuts down one guy, but then who the hell is covering the other 3 in the pattern?

if anything, this passing game has placed more emphasis on the front 7 getting to QB and disrupting timing between QB and receivers

This has to be a defensive draft - way too many holes to fill.
With cap issues, free agency options will be limited.

i know Milliner ran a great 40, but watching on NFLNet they were very down on his drills.. was that just them overreacting? (I didnt actually see his drills)
