1. Miami: Jake Long OT Michigan
They have a lot of weaknesses obviously. Jake Long would fit right into the rigth tackle position and help a pretty bad offensive line. While many mock drafts have Chris Long being drafted here, I don't think he would have as much as an impact as an OT who can help the team from day one by making life easier for their best player in Ronnie Brown. Unless Jason Taylor is traded thus making room for Chris Long to rush the qb with Matt Roth, I think it would be a smart pick for Miami to take an offensive lineman.
2. St. Louis: Chris Long DE Virginia
Chris Long rushing along side of Leonard Little is going to make trouble for a lot of NFL offenses next year if St. Louis gets the opportunity to draft him. Obviously if Miami doesnt take him St. Louis will not hesitate by adding this beast to their defense.
3. Atlanta: Matt Ryan QB Boston College
Boy, Atlanta must be biting themselves for dealing Matt Schaub because they really could have benefited from Glen Dorsey with really no good DTs on their team. Matt Ryan is a good traditional pocket passer and will really improve the teams offense next year.
4. Oakland: Glen Dorsey DT LSU
They have Justin Fargas, LaMont Jordan, & Dominic Rhodes...they dont need another rb. Darren McFadden is a great player, but it makes sense to draft Glen Dorsey here because they have no pass rush. Their defense will be really good next year if they get him.
5. Kansas City: Darren McFadden RB Arkansas
They need offensive line help and secondary help but they'll get pressure off Larry Johnson and Brodie Croyle if they get McFadden. Remember they drafted Larry Johnson six years ago as insurance for an injuried Priest Holmes in the 1st round of the 2003 NFL draft...i think they should do the same here.
6 New York (Jets): Vernon Gholston OLB/DE Ohio State
No brainer, he is going to make an immediate impact. They could have used an offensive playmaker with McFadden by i dont believe he will fall to them. Look to the 2nd round to see them draft a running back who will split time with Thomas Jones.
7. New England: Ryan Clady OT Boise State
Horrible performance in the Super Bowl exposes age of the offensive line. If Meriweather moves to CB or they sign another CB vetern (....Ty Law...even though he left on bad terms) and Seau returns, the Patriots look to make another big run without any big weaknesses
8. Baltimore: Sedrick Ellis NG USC
They need offensive help. First round I see them getting Ellis to help McGahee while second round I see them getting a QB like Woodson or Brohm.
