1. DETROIT - Matthew Stafford, QB, Georgia
The Lions should have waited till next year for the QB of the future and picked the top OT at this spot.
2. ST. LOUIS - Jason Smith, OT, Baylor
The Rams fill the void created by the departure of Orlando Pace. It'll be Smith or Monroe.
3. KANSAS CITY - Eugene Monroe, OT, Virginia
Kansas City has their QB of the future. Now they begin reinforcing the offensive line.
4. SEATTLE - Aaron Curry, OLB, Wake Forest
While many are thinking Crabtree or a QB, Seattle goes defense.
5. CLEVELAND - Tyson Jackson, DE, LSU
Cleveland goes for the versatile D-lineman that can help stop the run and rush the passer.
6. CINCINNATI - Andre Smith, OT, Alabama
Seems the Bengals enjoy drafting trouble. Hopefully Smith proves he's not the same 'ole same 'ole.
7. OAKLAND - Michael Crabtree, WR, Texas Tech
If it's"business as usual" with Al Davis, then Crabtree goes to Oakland.
8. JACKSONVILLE - Mark Sanchez, QB, USC
I don't think the Jags need a new QB so much as a new head coach. Well, maybe both.
9 GREEN BAY - B.J. Raji, DT, Boston College
After all the allegations surround B.J., the Packers take him for the middle of their D.
10. SAN FRANCISCO - Michael Oher, OT, Mississippi
The 49ers could go DE or OLB here, but Oher is too good to pass up.
11. BUFFALO - Brian Orakpo, DE, Texas .
Orakpo's slight drop is the fortune of the Bills who get their much-needed DE.
12. DENVER - Everette Brown, DE, Florida St Jackson
After seeing Raji, Jackson and Orakpo taken early, the Broncos snag Brown.
13. WASHINGTON - Rey Maualuga, ILB, USC
The Skins would prefer OT, but no value this far up the board.
14. NEW ORLEANS - Malcom Jenkins, CB, Ohio St.
The Saints need a top force in the secondary and Jenkins will be that force.
15. HOUSTON - Brian Cushing, OLB, USC
Teaming up with DeMeco Ryans should help secure the LB corps for a decade.
16. SAN DIEGO - Peria Jerry, DT, Mississippi
Tempting as it is to go WR, the Chargers get the plug for their DLine.
17. NY JETS - Josh Freeman, QB, Kansas State
I'm not very certain on this pick. Jets might opt to go WR instead.
18. DENVER - Clay Matthews, OLB, USC
The Broncos concentrate on defense in this draft.
19. TAMPA BAY - Jeremy Maclin, WR, Missouri
It's tough to defend Maclin slipping this far but defense is the trend in '09.
20. DETROIT - Eben Britton, OT, Arizona
If the Lions go QB at #1, a Tackle seems a must at #20
21. PHILADELPHIA - Knowshon Moreno, RB, Georgia
A little help for Westbrook and a great mentor for Moreno.
22. MINNESOTA - Brandon Pettigrew, TE, Oklahoma St.
Pettigrew helps provide more options to whatever QB lines up behind center.
23. NEW ENGLAND - Darius Butler, CB, UConn
A near certain long-time defender in the Patriots secondary.
24. ATLANTA - Evander Hood, DT, Missouri
With Gonzalez now a Falcon, the top available DT is taken here.
25. MIAMI - Alex Mack, C, California
Needs for improving the running game outweigh a want for a nifty wideout, thus, the big reach.
26. BALTIMORE - Darius Heyward-Bey, WR, Maryland
It comes down to a wideout or DE for this pick and DHB is way above the next DE.
27. INDIANAPOLIS - Donald Brown, RB, UConn
Perfectly suited for the needs of the Colt offense.
28.BUFFALO - Connor Barwin, OLB, Cincinnati
With no DT or OG available, the Bills reach a little but come up with a big stud in Barwin.
29. NY GIANTS - James Laurinitis, ILB, Ohio St.
GMen could use some additonal talent (and youth) for the LB corps.
30. TENNESSEE - Percy Harvin, WR, Florida
For the Titans, any receiver with speed is a near immediate upgrade to starter.
31. ARIZONA - Chris Wells, RB, Ohio St.
The Cards probably thought this pick would be Brown, but Beanie falls to 31.
32. PITTSBURGH - Aaron Maybin, DE, Penn St.
Does the local college star make it big in Steeler country? We'll soon see.
