1) Whitney Mercilus, DE
2) Josh Robinson, CB

id shit a brick if this happened lol.

Indianapolis Colts

Record: 2-14 | Top needs: QB, WR, 3-4 NT, TE, 3-4 DE
Andrew Luck*, QB, StanfordAn outstanding pro day workout, which confirmed Luck's ability to make all the throws and quieted questions about his arm strength, has cemented his status as the top overall prospect and the best choice for the Colts as they begin the post-Peyton Manning era.


Washington Redskins (from STL)

Record: 5-11 | Top needs: QB, ILB, ROT, RB, S, CB
Robert Griffin III*, QB, Baylor Griffin also had a strong pro day, and his athleticism and intangibles make him a perfect fit for the offense of coach Mike Shanahan. The Redskins have been searching for answers at quarterback for years, and they have found them in Griffin.


Minnesota Vikings

Record: 3-13 | Top needs: OT, WR, CB, S, MLB, DT
Matt Kalil*, OT, USCThe most complete tackle I have evaluated in my time scouting prospects, Kalil has the athleticism to excel as a pass-blocker and the mean streak to be a force in the running game.


Cleveland Browns

Record: 4-12 | Top needs: RB, WR, ROT, QB, OLB, DE
Justin Blackmon*, WR, Oklahoma StateWith the top two quarterbacks on the board already gone, Blackmon's size, hands and physical style offer the Browns a playmaker who can help current QB Colt McCoy.


Tampa Bay Buccaneers

Record: 4-12 | Top needs: CB, RB, SS, OLB, OG, TE
Trent Richardson*, RB, AlabamaThis is a tough call because you could make an argument for taking LSU CB Morris Claiborne here and grabbing one of the second-tier running backs with the 36th pick. Richardson is a special prospect, though, and he could be just what QB Josh Freeman and the Bucs need to jump-start an offense that finished 30th in the league in rushing last season.





St. Louis Rams (from WAS)Record: 2-14 | Top needs: WR, OT, DT, CB, RB, LB
Morris Claiborne*, CB, LSUThe Rams desperately need playmakers for young QB Sam Bradford, but there are plenty of wideouts to be had down the line, and Claiborne is one of the four best players in the draft and plays a high-value position.

Jacksonville JaguarsRecord: 5-11 | Top needs: WR, DE, ROT, CB, C, RB
Riley Reiff*, OT, IowaReiff is a safe, high-character pick who fits the draft style of Jags general manager Gene Smith. He will solidify the offensive line and provide protection for second-year QB Blaine Gabbert as he continues to develop. North Carolina DE Quinton Coples is the most talented player on the board at this point, but he's the kind of high-upside prospect who doesn't fit Smith's style.

Miami DolphinsRecord: 6-10 | Top needs: QB, DE, WR, ROT, S, TE
Ryan Tannehill, QB, Texas A&MTannehill is still somewhat raw as a quarterback -- just 19 starts after beginning his career as a wide receiver -- but his athleticism and upside are impressive. He also makes better decisions than some give him credit for and he didn't get much help in his senior year, when he was coached by new Dolphins offensive coordinator Mike Sherman.

Carolina PanthersRecord: 6-10 | Top needs: DT, WR, CB, OLB, OT, DE
Dontari Poe*, DT, MemphisPoe blew up the NFL combine with his combination of size (6-foot-3?, 346 pounds), athleticism and speed. He is exactly the kind of dominating interior presence the Panthers need.

Buffalo BillsRecord: 6-10 | Top needs: OT, WR, QB, CB, TE, OLB
Michael Floyd, WR, Notre DameFloyd is a bit of a reach here, but no more so than OTs Mike Adams and Jonathan Martin. It's a tough call on the Bills' top two needs in this scenario, and they could look to trade down in a situation like this. They could also pull the trigger on a value pick such as Coples.

Kansas City ChiefsRecord: 7-9 | Top needs: 3-4 NT, LG, ILB, S, 3-4 DE, 3-4 OLB
Luke Kuechly*, ILB, Boston CollegeWith Poe off the board, Kuechly addresses another big hole on defense and would team with Derrick Johnson to give the Chiefs range and playmaking ability inside. Kuechly has elite instincts and intelligence, and he proved at the combine that he is more athletic than many thought.

Seattle SeahawksRecord: 7-9 | Top needs: DE, LB, TE, WR, G/ROT, RB
Quinton Coples, DE, North CarolinaA great value at a position of primary need. Coples is a versatile prospect with solid measurables, good pass-rush ability and the ability to hold up against the run.

Arizona CardinalsRecord: 8-8 | Top needs: ROT, WR, 3-4 DE, QB, 3-4 OLB, DB
Melvin Ingram, DE/OLB, South CarolinaThe Cardinals have bigger needs at offensive tackle and wide receiver, but coach Ken Whisenhunt learned the value of playmaking linebackers during his days in Pittsburgh. Ingram is strong and explosive and shows a knack for making big plays, and he would give Arizona needed depth along the front seven.

Dallas CowboysRecord: 8-8 | Top needs: 3-4 DL, G, CB, RB, 3-4 OLB, TE
Fletcher Cox*, DT, Mississippi StateStanford G David DeCastro and Alabama S Mark Barron are possibilities here, but I like what Cox could bring to Rob Ryan's defense. He has the versatility to play anywhere along the defensive line and can provide pass-rush production from the inside.

Philadelphia EaglesRecord: 8-8 | Top needs: WLB, SLB, SS, OT (depth), DL, QB
Mark Barron, S, AlabamaThe Eagles began addressing their linebacker need by trading for DeMeco Ryans, so Barron makes sense in the back end. He is the most complete safety in the draft, offering a physical presence in run support and the range to play the point in coverage.

New York JetsRecord: 8-8 | Top needs: OLB, WR, ROT, 3-4 DE, TE, ILB
Courtney Upshaw, DE/OLB, AlabamaUpshaw is the kind of physical, versatile front-seven player Rex Ryan loaded up on in his days with the Ravens, showing explosiveness and power as a pass-rusher and as a run defender. Floyd also would be a consideration here if he were available, and he would be a good complement to Santonio Holmes.

Cincinnati Bengals (from OAK)Record: 9-7 | Top needs: CB, G, WR, SS, DL, RB
David DeCastro*, G, StanfordDeCastro is the No. 12 overall prospect on our board but falls a bit because of positional value. He would be a great addition for the Bengals in front of young QB Andy Dalton.

San Diego ChargersRecord: 8-8 | Top needs: ROT, 3-4 NT, G, 3-4 DE, S, RB/TE/WR depth
Cordy Glenn, OT/G, GeorgiaThe Chargers have addressed many needs in free agency, but Jeromey Clary is clearly not the answer at right tackle. Glenn is a massive (6-5?, 345), powerful prospect who would boost the running game and help keep QB Philip Rivers clean in the pocket.

Chicago BearsRecord: 8-8 | Top needs: LOT, TE, G, DE, DT, CB
Jonathan Martin*, OT, StanfordMartin needs to add some strength, but he could pair with 2011 first-round OT Gabe Carimi to give offensive coordinator Mike Tice a pair of bookends to coach up. Tice's scheme will help keep QB Jay Cutler upright, but the Bears desperately need a left tackle

Tennessee TitansRecord: 9-7 | Top needs: S, CB, TE, DE, G/C, LB
Dre Kirkpatrick*, CB, AlabamaAdding Kamerion Wimbley addressed the Titans' pass-rush need, so Kirkpatrick will fill a void at corner. He has the size, toughness and instincts to fit nicely in Tennessee's zone-heavy scheme. North Alabama's Janoris Jenkins is a better cover corner but will drop because of character baggage, but rising South Carolina CB Stephon Gilmore also could be a consideration here.

Cincinnati BengalsRecord: 9-7 | Top needs: CB, G, WR, SS, DL, RB
Stephon Gilmore*, CB, South CarolinaGilmore is rising fast thanks to a combination of size (6-0?, 190), quick feet and ball skills, and even the Bengals likely will pass on Jenkins in favor of Gilmore.

Cleveland Browns (from ATL)Record: 4-12 | Top needs: RB, WR, ROT, QB, OLB, DE
Mike Adams, OT, Ohio StateAdams is a little risky because of his lack of consistency and killer instinct, but he has the size (6-7?, 323), agility and long arms that teams look for in left tackles. The Browns have a need at tackle, and Adams has plenty of upside.

Detroit LionsRecord: 10-6 | Top needs: CB, LOT/G, DE, LB (depth), C, RB
Whitney Mercilus*, DE, IllinoisThe Lions put the franchise tag on DE Cliff Avril, and Kyle Vanden Bosch will be 34 this season, so now is the time to add an edge rusher to make sure their defensive line will remain a devastating force for years to come. Mercilus has quickness and a knack for big plays, but he is still developing and this would be a good situation for him.

Pittsburgh SteelersRecord: 12-4 | Top needs: G/ROT, 3-4 NT, ILB, RB, DB depth, OT depth
Dont'a Hightower*, ILB, AlabamaHightower has nailed the pre-draft process and is solidly in the first round, and, with his ability to control the interior against the run, he's a perfect fit for Pittsburgh's 3-4 system. There are few 263-pounders who run like Hightower.

Denver BroncosRecord: 8-8 | Top needs: DT, CB, G/C, RB, WR, QB
Michael Brockers*, DT, LSUThe interior defensive line is clearly the Broncos' biggest need, and Brockers could prove to be a steal at this point. He has a big (6-5, 323), well-proportioned frame and better mobility than his production indicates, and, with some coaching and time in the weight room, Brockers could become a force.

Houston TexansRecord: 10-6 | Top needs: WR, ROT, ILB, G, CB, 3-2 OLB
Kendall Wright, WR, BaylorThe Texans need another playmaker opposite WR Andre Johnson, and Wright fits the bill. He proved his speed in his pro day workout, and Wright is a dynamic runner after the catch who also can contribute in the return game if needed.

New England Patriots (from N.O.)Record: 12-4 | Top needs: DE, DT, DB, C, SLB, WR
Chandler Jones*, DE, ClemsonJones is one of the most underrated prospects in the entire 2012 class and just the kind of versatile defender Bill Belichick likes. Jones is long and athletic and can play end in an odd or even front, maybe even some outside linebacker in 3-4 looks.

Green Bay PackersRecord: 15-1 | Top needs: 3-4 OLB, S, QB, TE, 3-4 DL
Andre Branch, DE, ClemsonPackers OLB Clay Matthews clearly needs pass-rush help, and Branch can provide that with his motor and ability to get after the quarterback. He has the athleticism to move to outside linebacker in Green Bay's 3-4 defense, where he also can hold up well against the run.

Baltimore RavensRecord: 12-4 | Top needs: G, OLB, LOT, DE, ILB, RB
Harrison Smith, S, Notre DameWith no offensive linemen worth drafting, fast-rising Smith is a good value pick who could provide long-term security at safety with the clock ticking on Ed Reed. The Ravens also could consider a defensive tackle such as Connecticut's Kendall Reyes at this spot.

San Francisco 49ersRecord: 13-3 | Top needs: G, 3-4 DE, WR, RB, CB, OLB
Stephen Hill*, WR, Georgia TechHill is as raw as they come for a prospect from a BCS conference, but his size (6-4, 215) and big-play ability (29.3-yard average on 28 receptions) make him hard to ignore, especially after he turned in one of the most impressive combine workouts I've seen from a receiver.

New England PatriotsRecord: 13-3 | Top needs: DE, DT, DB, C, SLB, WR
Kendall Reyes, DT, ConnecticutReyes is a versatile talent who hasn't yet played to his potential, but he is a smart player who could thrive in this scheme and with this organization.

New York GiantsRecord: 9-7 | Top needs: OT, RB, LB, DT, DE, S
Lavonte David, OLB, NebraskaThe Giants might have bigger needs, but David is a great value and a perfect fit. He is one of the best pure football players in the entire draft, someone who could be plugged in on the weak side and allow Michael Boley to move to the middle.

The dine better produce with 3 1st rounders on it. I can get down with Mercilus, never can have enough good young pass rushers.
 
I'll say

1st Gilmore
2nd Osemele
3rd Polk
4th Hayward

I would be ecstatic if we got Cordy Glenn, Jonathon Martin, Nick Perry, Kirkpatrick, Barron, Stephen Hill or Gilmore. All high ceiling guys.

Gilmore had a fantastic Pro Day....he's also 6" with long arms and runs a sub 4.4.....Mayocks pop wood all over him today.

another of my guys probably gonna be gone.

Glenn , Barron and now Gilmore :no:

The hardest part is that theyre all gonna go like right before we pick too lol. Theres going to be plenty of quality talent left when we pick....we'll get a day 1 starter out of it no matter what position they decide to go with.
 
Gilmore is a safe pick due to his physical attributes, but he has A LOT to work on as far as coverage skills. I don't think he'll be much more than an average corner in the NFL unless he somehow figures it all out. Guess it could happen...he was being taught by Steve Spurrier.

Someone like Rieff, Coples, or Ingram will fall all the way to 23 and Mayhew will take him. Who had Cam Jordan at 24 last year?

I had Jordan mocked in the 20s....great run stuffing classic 4-3 LE , but will never get you the high sack totals in the NFL....locks down RBs before they hit the edge.

Locker and Ponder going early helped him slip a little also , and it was a very deep draft at DL last year.

Rieff is the 2nd OT off the board...in no way will be there at 23.

Really on Jordan? I never saw him mocked that low.

I guess Rieff might be stretching it. Decastro/Glenn could easily fall, teams usually don't take guards too high.

I guess my point was that the draft is usually good for one or two drastic/surprising falls. Tough for us to expect that all these guys will be gone.
 
I read somewhere the Lions were doing extensive background work on Janoris Jenkins...now i cant remember or find the site that I read it on....I know Jenkins is holding his own Pro Day very soon....that'd be an interesting choice.

He seems so shady though. IDK we'll see, he can definitely cover.
 
i can't get behind a 1st round DE unless Avril is gone. Schwartz and Gunther have been pluggling in people like Willie Young, turk mcbride, and LOJack without missing a beat...why should we invest a 1st round pick in a position that hasn't been a problem finding capable players?

But I do like Mercilus.
 
that'd be nice....most mocks have him top 10 either to Jacksonville at 7 or Buffalo at 10 though.

I think Jonathan Martin is the OT on the board when it gets to us though.

Hope I am totally wrong...Rieff over Martin all day everyday.

And twice on Sundays despite his stubby T-Rex arms.
 
I wouldn't hate Martin as a pick...the kid can pass block.
 
If Jenkins falls into the second round where he is in that mock, I would trade up for him. The fact is, he is the 2nd best corner on the field, and his off-field problems are widely overstated.

I think MArtin makes for the better blind side protector on the left. Reiff ppl are sayng belongs at RT. Either tackle would be good but Martin has more value if he projects as a project LT.
