If you disagree, you're wrong. Quitsies. No anti-quitsies, no startsies.
Round 1
1. Carolina Panthers - Blaine Gabbert QB Missouri
The best time to make a move at QB as a new head coach is your first year while you still have a little bit of a grace period. Clausen belongs to the last regime.
2. Denver Broncos - Nick Fairley DT Auburn
Slides right in at end as the key piece to the Broncos' new front seven.
3. Buffalo Bills - Cam Newton QB Auburn
Gailey can't pass up on the athletic potential. A pick I expect them to regret in the future.
4. Cincinnati Bengals - Patrick Peterson CB LSU
The Bengals nab the top player on their board and worry about fit later. A potential move to safety down the road.
5. Arizona Cardinals - Von Miller OLB Texas A&M
The Cards enter the draft with two thoughts on their first pick. A QB or an edge rusher. The two QBs are gone, the pass rush gets addressed.
6. Cleveland Browns - A.J. Green WR Georgia
You can't expect McCoy to develop without a true lead receiver. The defense needs a ton of attention but this is just too much value to ignore.
7. San Francisco 49ers - Robert Quinn OLB North Carolina
The most gifted pass rusher in the draft. But he's got a year of inactivity and a brain tumor being monitored. A boom or bust selection.
8. Tennessee Titans - Da'Quan Bowers DE Clemson
They have serious needs (QB, interior OL) that can't be met with this pick without reaching. They instead stick to their board and nab the mini-sliding Bowers.
9. Dallas Cowboys - Marcell Dareus DT Alabama
Gives the Cowboys much needed size and some playmaking ability along the interior. Maybe freeing up Ratliff to move to end.
10. Washington Redskins - Jake Locker QB Washington
I can't shake the feeling the Redskins are in love with the player. They might do this deal in a trade down, but trading isn't an option in this mock. Shanahan will take on the challenge of getting Locker to play to his ability. It's the Chris Berman "whoooa!" moment of the draft.
11. Houston Texans - Prince Amukamara CB Nebraska
The Texans have needs across the board on defense. Amukamara's a start to the transition to Wade Phillips' 3-4.
12. Minnesota Vikings - J.J. Watt DE Wisconsin
The QB desperate Vikings show board discipline here and add much needed help to an aging defensive line.
13. Detroit Lions - Aldon Smith DE Missouri
Suh gets a partner in crime to terrorize NFC North QBs. Smith is a 4-3 end, not a 3-4 OLB.
14. St. Louis Rams - Julio Jones WR Alabama
I can't imagine this pick would take long to make, as the Rams get their target. In order for Bradford to take the next step, he needs better weapons.
15. Miami Dolphins - Mark Ingram RB Alabama
I'd like to be more clever but this just makes too much sense. The only 1st round worthy RB goes to the team most in need of one. I'd imagine Jeff Ireland has learned from passing on Steven Jackson.
16. Jacksonville Jaguars - Ryan Kerrigan DE Purdue
The Jags must address the pass rush. They can't count on Kampman being healthy next year. Kerrigan is a Jack Del Rio type player.
17. New England Patriots (Oakland) - Tyron Smith T USC
An aging offensive line is in need of a makeover. Smith is the premier LT prospect in this draft. Enough value to bypass the defensive needs.
18. San Diego Chargers - Corey Liuget DT Illinois
A number of players in the front seven are free agents. The Chargers feel they got the same player here as the Broncos and Cowboys did in the top 10.
19. New York Giants - Muhammad Wilkerson DT Temple
The top interior pass rusher in the draft could pay big dividends playing with Tuck and Umenyiora. This pick would mean the decision to sign Chris Canty to a healthy free agent deal was a bad one.
20. Tampa Bay Buccaneers - Akeem Ayers OLB UCLA
With the offense finally showing signs of life, the attention switches over to the defense. The versatile Ayers is a nice start. Best cover LB in the draft.
21. Kansas City Chiefs - Phil Taylor DT Baylor
When you're that big, strong and athletic, you don't get out of the first round. The Chiefs have found their nose tackle.
22. Indianapolis Colts - Nate Solder T Colorado
A bigger emphasis has to be placed on protecting Manning in the back half of his career. He's made a career out of making average lineman look good. That's too much to ask of a QB who will be 35 next season.
23. Philadelphia Eagles - Gabe Carimi T Wisconsin
Fits like a glove on the right side of the offensive line. A quick fan favorite.
24. New Orleans Saints - Adrian Clayborn DE Iowa
They need several upgrades to their defensive line.
25. Seattle Seahawks - Ryan Mallett QB Arkansas
The Seahawks know any chance of adding a significant prospect at QB will be gone by the time they pick again in the 2nd round.
26. Baltimore Ravens - Justin Houston OLB Georgia
If you can get Terrell Suggs blocked, the Ravens have no other option outside. That has to change.
27. Atlanta Falcons - Dontay Moch OLB Nevada
Without a top 4-3 end pass rushing prospect on the board, the Falcons address their need at OLB. With the possiblity of moving Moch to end on passing downs. John Abraham's getting long in the tooth.
28. New England Patriots - Cameron Jordan DE California
The Patriots really miss Richard Seymour.
29. Chicago Bears - Anthony Castonzo T Boston College
Protecting Cutler is priority #1 this offseason. Costanzo is the kind of effort player Bears fans will appreciate.
30. New York Jets - Cameron Heyward DE Ohio St.
Again, another team that needs a pressure player that just isn't there. They also need a DE. Heyward is great value at this point.
31. Pittsburgh Steelers - Mike Pouncey C/G Florida
Roethlisberger can't continue to take that kind of pounding. I expect multiple picks to protect him this year. They go back to the Pouncey well that worked for them last year.
32. Green Bay Packers - Danny Watkins G Baylor
The Champs are in the same position. A great franchise QB being molested behind a shoddy offensive line. I don't ever remember a Super Bowl matchup with two teams so suspect in protection. Watkins comes ready to play at 26 years of age.
Round 2
