FINAL MACK DRAFT!


1 - IND: Andrew Luck, QB, Stanford
No-brainer! Not fair either.
2 - WAS: Robert Griffin, QB, Baylor
Some say he should be the #1. Let's hope for the Colts sake they didn't give up Peyton for the #2 guy.
3 - CLE: Trent Richardson, RB, Alabama
They have many needs, especially on defense, but this guy is to good to pass up although Claiborne would make sense here as well. Whoever the Vikings QB circus chooses as the ringleader, he will need a lot of protection. Will he be Matt Barkleys starting LT next year?
4 - MIN: Matt Kalil, OT, USC
Whoever the Vikings QB circus chooses as the ringleader, he will need a lot of protection. Will he be Matt Barkleys starting LT next year?
5 - TB: Morris Claiborne, CB, LSU
Perfect match for the Bucs. He has the best ball skills in the draft.
6 - STL: Justin Blackmon, WR, Oklahoma State
Giving up RG3 for picks galore should fill holes galore for Rams.
7 - JAX: Melvin Ingram, DE, South Carolina
Pure pass rusher. With speed and size this guys hard to pass up.
8 - MIA: Ryan Tannehill, QB, Texas A&M
Tannehill is the guy here after losing out on a number of FA QBs but is he a top 10 pick? I don't think so.
9 - CAR: Fletcher Cox, DT, Mississippi State
Cox is a big tough guy that would fit in a 4-3 or a 3-4 scheme. I believe he is better than Poe but his combine slotted him 2nd for most teams.
10 - BUF: Riley Reiff, OT, Iowa
Buffalo would be very happy if Reiff fell to them here.
11 - KC: Luke Kuechly, LB, Boston College
This guy is gonna be a beast and can QB a team's defense for years. The next Brian Urlacher.
12 - SEA: Quinton Coples, DE, North Carolina
A defensive pass rusher is a big need for this team. This guy will be the first of many DEs to start coming off the board.
13 - ARI: David DeCastro, OG, Stanford
This guy is gonna be a pro-bowler for years to come. He is a cerebral guy who has a nasty side which works well for a road-grater type OL.
14 - DAL: Stephon Gilmore, CB, South Carolina
This guy has been flying up the boards. SS Mark Barron is another option here.
15 - PHI: Dontari Poe, DT, Memphis
Workout warrior. Lots of risk but upside potential.
16 - NYJ: Mark Barron, SS, Alabama
The Jets need more weapons on offense but Rex is going to find it hard enough to pass up on a pass rusher with this pick. Question is do you want Eric Smith starting in the secondary again?
17 - CIN: Dre Kirkpatrick, CB, Alabama
The Bengals take a flyer on this guy despite off the field issues.
18 - SD: Nick Perry, DE, USC
A hometown guy with this pick would make San Diego happy.
19 - CHI: Whitney Mercilus, DE, Illinois
Led the FBS with 9 forced fumbles in 2011. He is a solid pass rusher for a D that needs to improve. Another hometown pick.
20 - TEN: Michael Brockers, DT, LSU
A CB has been talked about here but the DT position needs depth.
21 - CIN: Jonathan Martin, OT, Stanford
Dalton was a nice suprise last year. A guy to help protect his butt would be the wide move here.
22 - CLE: Michael Floyd, WR, Notre Dame
They are esactic this guy falls to them.
23 - DET: Chandler Jones, DE, Syracuse
D line 3 years on a row? Watch our Aaron Rogers. They wanted a CB here but the next guy Jenkins is to risky for the 1st round.
24 - PIT: Dont'a Hightower, LB, Alabama
The Steelers need another stud in the middle. This guy has all the tools to be the next great steel curtain LB
25 - DEN: Kendall Reyes, DT, Connecticut
The DT position needs depth. Broncos have no one in this position.
26 - HOU: Kendall Wright, WR, Baylor
Houston would love nothing more than to pair this guy up opposite of Mr. Johnson. Mr. Johnson would love it as well.
27 - NE: Courtney Upshaw, ILB, Alabama
One of the biggest fallers in the draft. A risky player so I'm not sold that NE takes him but he is still a 1st round talent.
28 - GB: Andre Branch, DE, Clemson
Long armed player with great closing speed and initial quickness.
29 - BAL: Peter Konz, C, Wisconsin
The Ravens have some holes on the OL. Peter Konz and OG Cordy Glenn are their top choices.
30 - SF: Cordy Glenn, OG, Georgia
The 49ers are in a good spot being able to draft the best player avaliable in the draft. Might as well beef up a good OL with another good player.
31 - NE: Harrison Smith, SS, Notre Dame
Perfect for the Bellichek system.
32 - NYG: Coby Fleener, TE, Stanford
If this guy is here the Giants and Eli Manning are overcome with joy.
