After smiling and dialing and wining and dining my sources for inside info- let's mock it up. I will only do the first 10 picks because anything more is a waste of time.
1. KC- Luke Joeckel, OT, Texas A&M
Andy Reid usually drafts players smaller than himself but he's willing to make an exception.
2. JAC- Eric Fisher, OT, Central Michigan
Where's Blaine? How about a Tebow trade? Whoever is back there, the Jags are banking on Joe Staley comparisons.
3. OAK- Dion Jordan, DE, Oregon
Trade potential here. No Kelley or Seymour but don't expect the unexpected from Al's ghost. The Silver and Black enlist an athletic pass rusher remind them of Derrick Burgess and better days. Maybe Ansah. Maybe Milliner. On second thought, who knows...
4. PHI- Lane Johnson, OT, Oklahoma
As a top finisher in 6 of 7 categories including an impressive 4.72 40, he's worthy of protecting a dynamic QB and playing in a dynamic offense.
5. DET- Dee Milliner, CB, Alabama
Beware Rodgers, Cutler, and Ponder. I won't use the term "shutdown corner" because there's usually only 1-2 real "shutdown corners" in the league at a time... despite a huge number of prospects bearing such label.
6. CLE- Ezekiel "Ziggy" Ansah, DE, BYU
Great physical tools but limited production over a small body of work make him a liability in the top 5, pick 6 should be ok.
7. ARI- Jonathan Cooper, OG, North Carolina
When was the last time a guard was taken in the top 10? Chris Naeole at No. 10 by the Saints in 1997.
8. BUF- Geno Smith, QB, West Virginia
Since 1966, the Bills have drafted 2 QBs in the first round (Jim Kelly and JP Losman). Why Geno? Kolb, Tavaris, Brad Smith. Why not Tavon Austin? They don't actually want him, they want the Jets to trade up. Or they could go OL for Spiller's sake.
9. NYJ- Tavon Austin, WR, WestVirginia
While most coaches are coy and cagey, Rex Ryan is the type of big mouth to talk about a playerand then actually draft him. They could go with the best name in the draft, Barkevious Mingo.
10. TEN- Sharrif Floyd, DT, Florida
This is a value pick since the Raiders passed on him.
