This is my mock draft. It is based on who I tihnk teams will take, not who I think they should take. It is very unlikely, like any mock, to be at all correlative with the actual draft. I am sure some of the picks/omissions will personally offend some of you.

1. Lions: Matt Stafford. They should go OT here, as there hasn't been a successful underclassman QB in the last ten years or so (aside from Big Ben). But their off-season moves suggest they go QB here.

2. Rams: Jason Smith. The Rams wanted Jake Long last year. They get their LT this year in Smith.

3. Chiefs: Aaron Curry. He's too good a prospect to pass up, and the Chiefs need a player like him on their D. I could have seen them go Crabtree to increase Cassel's chances of success, but not after his surgery and questions about his speed.

4. Seahawks: BJ Raji. Everyone had Crabtree going here, but Housh and Branch should give Hasselbeck enough weapons for now. They really need a force inside their D line, and Raji is that.

5. Browns: Michael Crabtree. They lost their best weapon in Winslow, and Edwards is reportedly on the block. They need to give Quinn a chance to succeed.

6. Bengals: Eugene Monroe. Bengals get a nice value at a need position. They lost Stacey Andrews, and this will allow them to push Levi Jones to the right side.

7. Raiders: Jeremy Maclin. I think this is a little early for Maclin, but Davis won't. He has the speed Davis covets, and he fits a desperate need.

8. Jaguars: Michael Oher. The Jags signed Tra Thomas, but they still really need a guard, and Oher can kick inside until Thomas retires. It's a good situation for Oher because it will take him awhile to learn the position.

9. Packers: Brian Orapko. The Pack needs a rush 3-4 OLB, and they get a good one.

10. 49ers: Aaron Maybin. Like a lot of teams around here, the Niners need to boost their pass rush. They could go QB here, but I think they will give Hill and Smith another year to show them something. They could also take a tackle here, but Singletary will want to improve his D

11. Bills: Everette Brown: The Bills need a TE, but there isn't one worth taking this high.  They won't take a QB after signing TO, since that would just put more pressure on Edwards.

12. Broncos: Ray Mauluaga: The Broncos are most in need of a NT like Raji, but they could also use a force inside.

13. Redskins: Andre Smith. I could easily see this pick being made by Carolina in a Peppers trade. Assuming they stay here, they need upgrades on both sides of the ball. Smith provides the best value here, and can take over for Jon Jansen.

14. Saints: Malcolm Jenkins. The Saints have everything they need on offense (except, apparently Tomlinson), but their defense really needs some help. They have needs all over the secondary, and Jenkins could potentially play CB or FS.

15. Texans: Brian Cushing. The Texans need some help at strong side linebacker, and Cushing could be a great addition there. They would also like a backfield partner for Slaton, but after finding a gem in Slaton in the third, I don't see them taking someone this early.

16. Chargers: Robert Ayers. The Chargers lost Igor Olshansky, and Ayers is a nice replacement. If LT leaves, then I could see Knowshown Moreno being the pick. If Sanchez is still available, then a team could easily move in here to take him, and the Chargers would likely be happy to move down.

17. Jets: Mark Sanchez. If the 49ers pass on Sanchez, I think he falls to the Jets. The Jets are desperate for a WR with Coles leaving, but I don't see them passing on a franchise QB this late.

18. CHICAGO: We need a RT, WR, FS, DE, OG, and QB, so there are a lot of options. I think they would've considered looking at Josh Freeman here, but his combine probably pushed him out of round 1 consideration. Eben Britton has the skill set to play LT or RT, but Angelo seems fixated on resigning St Clair and using him there. There is not a FS or OG worth taking this high. I hate Darrius "Troy Williamson 2.0" Heyward-Bay, and he doesn't really fit Kyle Orton's strengths. Percy Harvin is a great WR for a creative OC, which we don't have, and he isn't the prototypical #1 WR Angelo seeks.

So the pick is Hakeem Nicks. He's perhaps the second most complete WR in the draft, and in my opinion compares favorably to TJ Housh. There is a high potential for trading down here.

19. Bucs: Larry English. Tough call after the Bucs cut half their team. They need help at QB, WR, DT, DE and OLB. New coach Raheem Morris has connections to K-State's Josh Freeman, but again I think he is out of round 1 consideration. DHB is a potential replacement for Galloway, but I think they have bigger needs on D. English is an explosive player who can potentially re-energize their D

20. Lions: Eben Britton. They went Stafford early, they need to protect him. Britton could potentially play either tackle spot, so I think he gets the nod.

21. Eagles: Percy Harvin. McNabb asked for more weapons, and he gets one here. The Eagles are creative enough on offense to make use of Harvin's skills. He can be a hybrid RB-WR that gives Westbrook some help, but also gives McNabb a weapon in the passing game.

22. Vikings: Darrisu Heyward-Bay. I like Kenny Britt a little more as a fit for them, but I definitely see them taking a WR here. You'd think they would learn their lesson on taking all-speed no-production guys after taking Williamson a few years back, but they are the Vikings.

23. Patriots: Vontae Davis. The Patriots keep losing DBs and it's starting to hurt. They could also go Laurinaitis, but I don't see them using 2 first-round picks on 3-4 ILBs in consecutive years. Whatever they do it will probably look genius.

24. Falcons: Peria Jerry. The Falcons almost took Glenn Dorsey last year, and they still need a force inside. They could go DE here as well.

25. Dolphins: Clay Matthews. They really need help at OLB, and Matthews is a tough, smart football player that Parcells would like. If a WR fell to them I could see them going there as well.

26. Ravens: James Laurinaitis. This pick makes too much sense, since they lost Bart Scott and he was a real force on their team. They need a WR as well, but this is the pick.

27. Colts: Knowshown Moreno. The Colts have bigger needs, such as DT, RT and WR, but Addai's play really fell off last year, and they need an effective run game to keep Manning upright.

28. Eagles: Brandon Pettigrew. The Eagles really need a replacement for Dawkins, but there probably isn't a first round safety prospect. They could also go RB here, but Pettigrew is the pick. He replaces the disappointing LJ Smith.

29. Giants: Kenny Britt. They would probably like someone with less potential baggage than Britt, but there is no denying his talent. He could easily become the most productive WR in this class. The Giants really suffered after Burress shot himself in the leg last year.

30. Titans: Ron Brace. The Titans desperately need a DT to replace Haynesworth. Their D was not the same without him.

31. Cardinals: Beanie Wells. They Cardinals need for a future RB was apparent throughout the second half of the season. Edge will likely be released after they secure this position in the draft.

32. Steelers: Alphonso Smith. Everyone has them taking an interior lineman here, but I think replacing Brian McFadden is a bigger need. Smith is a nice prospect, and might be a little undervalued.
