Team	NFL Draft First Round
	1. Miami Dolphins – DT Glenn Dorsey, LSU Rebuilding the Dolphins’ defense starts with one of the best defense tackle prospect to come along in some time.
	2. St. Louis Rams – T Jake Long, Michigan The Rams’ offensive line struggled this year, so they go with Orlando Pace’s eventual replacement.
	3. Atlanta Falcons – QB Matt Ryan, Boston College When you finish the season starting Chris Redman, yeah, you need a quarterback.
	4. Oakland Raiders – DE Chris Long, Virginia The Silver and Black need to revamp their defensive line, and Long has Raider blood.
	5. Kansas City Chiefs – RB Darren McFadden, Arkansas This might be a bit of a shocker, especially to Chiefs fans. But with Jake Long gone, you either trade back if you get a helluva deal, or you take the sure bet. McFadden could do for the Chiefs’ offense what Reggie Bush did for the Saints’ offense two years ago. He’s almost a cross between Adrian Peterson and Bush. You can’t pass that up when there isn’t another sure thing on the board.
	6. New York Jets – QB Andre’ Woodson, Kentucky I’m not buying that they are sold on their current QB situation.
	7. New England Patriots (From 49ers) – CB Malcom Jenkins, Ohio St This is amove that could protect the Pats from the possibility of free agency cleaning out their cornerbacks.
	8. Baltimore Ravens – QB Brian Brohm, Louisville Whoever the new coach is, he will want to get a new quarterback in place by yesterday.
	9. Cincinnati Bengals – MLB James Laurinaitis, Ohio State Laurinaitis is a no brainer here for the Bungles.
	10. New Orleans Saints – CB/S Reggie Smith, Oklahoma Their secondary — other than Mick McKenzie — is atrocious. Smith helps fix that at either position.
	11. Buffalo Bills – Malcolm Kelly, WR, Oklahoma Lee, Marshawn and Trent need some help, and Mr. Kelly can provide it instantly.
	12. Denver Broncos – OT Ryan Clady, Boise St. Mike Shanahan’s patented line had some holes in it this year.
	13. Carolina Panthers – FS Kenny Phillips, Miami Safety was a weakness — one of many, many weaknesses — for the Cats last year.
	14. Chicago Bears – Denver Broncos: Sedrick Ellis, DT, USC Da Bears slipped at DT last year as much as anywhere else.
	15. Detroit Lions – HB Felix Jones, Arkansas Jones is a better fit than Stewart for a team that desperately needs to find a running game.
	16. Arizona Cardinals – Jonathan Stewart, RB, Oregon Edge might bounce, and he hasn’t been all that impressive anyway.
	17. Minnesota Vikings – WR Limus Sweed, Texas He could be for the Vikes what Dwayne Bowe was for the Chiefs this year.
	18. Houston Texans – DE Vernon Gholston, Ohio St. Houston adds Gholston to Mario and Okoye. He’d be a steal here, but it could happen.
	19. Philadelphia Eagles -OT Sam Baker, USC Word on the street is that Runyan is done.
	20. Tampa Bay Buccaneers – WR DeSean Jackson, Cal An easy pick here. Galloway and Hilliard won’t last forever.
	21. Washington Redskins – DE Calais Campbell, Miami A great fit for the ‘Skins this late in the first.
	22. Dallas Cowboys (From Browns) – CB Mike Jenkins, South Florida Someone to help T-New out a little bit is a big need.
	23. Seattle Seahawks – OT Jeff Otah, Pittsburgh Mike Holmgren’s O-line isn’t so hot sans Hutch.
	24. Pittsburgh Steelers – OT Gosder Cherilus, Boston College The Steelers learned that they have to keep Big Ben upright to win.
	25. Tennessee Titans – WR Early Doucet, LSU Seriously, V.Y. needs some from his receivers.
	26. New York Giants – OT Michael Orr, Mississippi Like Peyton, Eli needs time in the pocket in order to succeed.
	27. San Diego Chargers – Frank Okam, NT, Texas Williams isn’t as dependable as he once was, mainly because of health.
	28. Jacksonville Jaguars – WR Adarius Bowman, Oklahoma State Will they do this again? Who knows…
	29. Green Bay Packers – CB Aqib Talib, Kansas Harris and Woodson aren’t exactly spring chickens.
	30. Dallas Cowboys – RB Rashard Mendenhall, Illinois Julius Jones is likely ghost, so this will allow the running game to continue to thrive.
	31. San Francisco 49ers (From Colts) – Mario Manningham, WR, Michigan Quick and fast, the perfect compliment to D-Jack and Vernon.
	FORFEITED
