Got to pick a draft just for ***** and giggles.
Order in draft based on standings 12/26/2012
1. KC Chiefs - Luke joeckel OT Texas A & M, assuming deal is made for Alex Smith
2. Jax Jags - Sharif Floyd DT U of Florida. Would have been Star L., but not with that bum ticker.
3. Oakland Raiders - Eugene "Geno" Smith QB U of West Va. Palmer never was, Pryor never will be.
4. Philadelphia Eagles - Dion Jordan DE/OLB Oregon
May as well start here and patch up that sieve called a Defensive Line.
5. Detroit Lions - Jarvis Jones, DE/OLB, Georgia
Need to trade down and grab some later first round help for Calvin Johnson and a RB 2nd round. Medical condition of Jones could change this pick.
6. Cleveland Browns - Zeke Ansah. Glamor pick but a work in progress with a huge ceiling. Very raw and played in weak conference. A neophyte.
BPA and a need.
7.Arizona Cardinals - Eric Fisher OT CMU. Need to trade down and grab Lane Johnson or Warmack later, but Fisher is better than those two. Gotta get a QB in 2nd if this is the pick.
8. Buffalo Bills - Mike Glennon QB N. Car State. He may end up best QB in the draft or the worst and Bills are just tired of Fitz. New coach, new QB. Not a day one step in pick, unless Fitzpatrick is dealt away.
9. New York Jets - Dee Millner after they trade Revis.
Regime change with a new GM and HC (maybe). QBs are horrible, but grabbing one here with what is left is desperation. They need to do a trade up for one. Their O Line is puny.
10.Tennessee Titans - Margus Hunt, SMU DL.
Okay who is this guy? Watch him at the combine. Total freak and coincidentally the last freak at Tennessee was none other than Jevon " The Freak " Kersey . Titans defense is terrible everywhere and they can afford to take the BPA since this draft is defense skewed.
11. San Diego Chargers - Taylor Lewan, OT, Michigan.
Rivers is getting too old to take a constant beating.
12. Miami Dolphins - Tayvon Austin WR/SR/KR West Va
A reach at #12 and a desperate team makes a desperate move. Tannehill needs targets. He has none. Wouldn't be a mistake to take Eric Fisher, OT, Central Michigan, and I will probably flip flop, to him, closer to the draft.
13. Tampa Bay Bucs - Desmond Trufant CB Washington. Really want Dee Milliner, CB, Alabama, but they will have to trade up to get him.
First CB and first Alabama player taken off the MNC team. Probably hurt by Dre Kirkpatrick bust last year, but CBs always seem to be in need in the NFL and he may be a late gift and get reunited with Mark Barron.
14. Carolina Panthers - Sheldon Richardson DT Missouri. A gift package.
15. New Orleans Saints - Star Lotuleilei. NT Utah. Drops for medical reasons and a risk.
16. St. Louis Rams - Chance Warmack OG U of Alabama. Helluva player.
BPA and need. I like this pick.
14. Pittsburgh Steelers - Barkevious Mingo, OLB, LSU.
BPA and a cheaper version of old man James Harrison.
18. Dallas Cowboys - Bjorn Werner DE/OLB FSU.
19. NY Giants - Alec Ogletree, ILB, Georgia .
Fading Giants need help on both sides.
20. Chicago Bears - Lane Johnson OT U of Oklahoma.
Also need a TE and WR but Cutler is getting buried.
21. Cincinnati Bengals - Kenny Vacarro Safety U of Texas. Real need.
22. St Louis Rams - St Louis Rams - Tyler Eifert TE Notre Dame
Kendricks is not the answer and Bradford needs a TE. Eifert is the best TE in the draft. Bradford now has weapons to spare.
23. Minnesota Vikings - Cordarelle Patterson WR U of Tennessee. High risk. Inexperienced but a blazer. If Percy Harvin trade is made, they have to figure out how to get Tayvon Austin.
24. Indianapolis Colts - Jonathan Cooper G/C U N Car. They need line help desperately.
25. Seattle Seahawks - Johnathan Hankins NT Ohio State. Big need and there a 3 NTs available here. Pick one.
26. Green Bay Packers - Keenan Allen WR Cal. Must keep targets for Rodgers and Jennings is gone.
27. Houston Texans - Kevin Minter ILB LSU. Brian Cushing can not seem to stay on the field. Must address WR in 2nd and 3rd.
28. Denver Broncos - Eddie Lacy RB U of Alabama. Do not like this pick but McGahee is done. Moreno is not the answer.
29. New England Patriots - Sly Williams DT UNC. or any similar DT aka John Jenkins. Coach Bill may trade down here to build picks as they only have 5.
30. Atlanta Falcons - Datone Jones DE UCLA. Pick of desperate need. Will need a TE in the 2nd.
31. San Francisco 49ers - John Jenkins DT Georgia. Deep DL draft and he might fall here.
32. Baltimore Ravens - Jonathan Cyprien FAU SS. Ed Reed is soon gone.
