Final NFL Mock Draft

	#	Team	Player	Position	School	Comment	Other Option
	1	Indianapolis	Andrew Luck	QB	Stanford	The Colts have already made it known this will be their selection.	-
	2	Washington	Robert Griffin III	QB	Baylor	It's a roll of the dice by the Redskins, but the high reward could be worth it.	-
	3	Minnesota	Matt Kalil	OT	USC	Kalil had been the solid pick here for weeks, but there's been a recent buzz that the Vikings might go a different route.  I think they will think of AP's knees and go with Kalil.	Claiborne
	4	Cleveland	Trent Richardson	RB	Alabama	I had put Blackmon in this slot but not to the Browns and a few people who know things (Mel Kiper) are saying that he is a lock to the them now.  I think that the value of a receiver with their second pick allows Cleveland to take Richardson instead.	Blackmon
	5	Tampa Bay	Morris Claiborne	CB	LSU	I had projected Richardson here until my change of mind with the Browns pick, so the domino effect causes the Bucs to take the best player on their board, and possibly one of their highest needs with one old corner and one possibly going to jail.	Richardson
	6	St. Louis	Justin Blackmon	WR	Oklahom State	The Rams make out like bandits as they get the player that they most need, while adding a bevy of picks from the Redskins.	Claiborne
	7	Jacksonville	Melvin Ingram	DE	South Carolina	It's safe to say that the Jaguars will go defensive front 7, but I am very unsure about which player of that group they will go with.  I'm going to lean towards Ingram but it very well could be Cox.	Cox
	8	Miami	Ryan Tannehill	QB	Texas A&M	The Dolphins have been contemplating trading up to assure that they get Tannehill, but I think they will be safe just waiting for him at 8.  Now the real question is whether or not he is worth the high pick; I don't think so, but I guess we will see as he should get an early chance at starting.	-
	9	Carolina	Luke Kuechly	LB	Boston College	Keuchly has just moved up and up on the draft board as there seems to be no real weakness.  Many have Fletcher Cox or Dontari Poe going here (including my previous mock) but I think the Panthers are happy with the two DT's they have no, and will go best available.	Cox
	10	Buffalo	Stephon Gilmore	CB	South Carolina	With Ingram gone, I think the Bills will look at another big need and fill it with Ingram's Gamecock Teammate.  Gilmore is a burst of energy and will add depth to a secondary that has to face Tom Brady twice a year.	Barron
	11	Kansas City	Mark Barron	S	Alabama	It was only a few days ago that Barron was a lock to go to Dallas, but then word crept out that the Chiefs are most likely taking him.  I don't agree with the pick, as DeCastro would be a better fit and Kansas City already has Eric Berry, but I think they will still go this route.	DeCastro
	12	Seattle	Quinton Coples	DE	North Carolina	Seattle is one of the most active shoppers as they look to trade down and still take Coples.  As much as he scares most teams, Pete Carroll routinely took guys with Coples' work ethic and turned them into studs at USC.	Jones
	13	Arizona	Riley Reiff	OT	Iowa	Arizona is going to go O-Line, and while it had been DeCastro, they seem to be leaning more towards Reiff now that he will probably still be there.	DeCastro
	14	Dallas	Fletcher Cox	DE/DT	Mississippi St.	This would be a monster steal for the Cowboys, as Cox would probably be the best player on the board since pick 7 for a lot of teams.  If he slides, the slide stops here.  If he is taken then it will be Brockers.	Brockers
	15	Philadelphia	Michael Brockers	DT	LSU	The slide of Cox will also help the Eagles land a top DT.  If neither of them is there at 15, then the Eagles will almost certainly trade back.	Gilmore
	16	New York Jets	Michael Floyd	WR	Notre Dame	While Upshaw is still an option here, I think the Jets will want to add a weapon to their over-rate receiving core.	Courtney Upshaw
	17	Cincinnati (Oak)	Dre Kirkpatrick	CB	Alabama	I've thought the Bengals will go corner all along, but with the current domino effect, the second best corner on their board falls to them at 17.  If he's not there, then DeCastro slide stops.	DeCastro
	18	San Diego	Whitney Mercilus	DE/OLB	Illinois	San Diego is looking for a pass rusher, and with Coples gone they settle for the next best available on their board, whether it's Mercilus, Upshaw or Jones.  I think they will take Mercilus.	Jones
	19	Chicago	Chandler Jones	DE	Syracuse	Possibly the highest riser since the post combine workouts, Jones will help rejuvenate an aging defense.  With the addition of Brandon Marshall, the WR need is not as big, and the only other thing needed by the Bears is health.	Upshaw
	20	Tennesee	David DeCastro	OG	Stanford	DeCastro's slide finally stops in Tennessee, as he will be able to help a depleted line.  Chris Johnson will have a new ridiculous goal to go after.  Should he not be available, I think the Titans take the titan Poe.	Poe
	21	Cincinnati	Cordy Glenn	OG/OT	Georgia	Cincinnati looks to go best available and will wait until the expected string of running backs in the second round.	Wright
	22	Cleveland (Atl)	Kendall Wright	WR	Baylor	With the selection of Richardson, the Browns will look wide receiver here and I think they have Wright higher than Hill.  Cleveland will look to have weapons in place so that after they let Colt McCoy get his brain scrambled all year, they can draft Barkeley at number 1 next year.	Hill
	23	Detroit	Jonathon Martin	OT	Ohio State	The Lions need some offensive line help so that maybe they can keep a back healthy for a whole game.  Martin has good value at 23.	Doug Martin
	24	Pittsburgh	Dont'a Hightower	ILB	Alabama	Just like in every mock I've seen recently, the Steelers get the prototypical Steeler linebacker fall right into their laps.  If Hightower is gone, I think they will take Poe and stash him on the bench to develop.	Poe
	25	Denver	Dontari Poe	DT	Memphis	I've thought the Broncos will go DT all along, but it's just changed as the stock of different players has changed.  Poe is raw, but possibly the best athletic specimen in the draft.	Reyes
	26	Houston	Stephen Hill	WR	Georgia Tech	I'm going to keep Hill slotted to Houston.  They desperately need a compliment to Andre Johnson and Hill's combination of size and speed give them that.	Fleener
	27	New England (NO)	Courtney Upshaw	OLB	Alabama	I wouldn't be surprised if New England traded down and got more picks, but if they stay, and Upshaw is available, they will most definitely take him.  If he's not available, they will look at the Boise backer McClellin.	McClellin.
	28	Green Bay	Shea McClellin	OLB	Boise State	McClellin has steadily climbed up draft boards and he provides a compliment to Clay Matthews.	Worthy
	29	Baltimore	Kevin Zeitler	OG	Wisconsin	I think the Ravens are looking O-Line and am undecided between Zeitler and his Badger teammate Konz, but I think they will pick Zeitler.	Konz
	30	San Francisco	Amini Silatolu	OG	Midwestern State	Silatolu is a late bloomer in both his development and his draft stock.  Apparently many teams knew about him but were trying to keep it on the down-low, but I think he sneaks into the first round.  If not, then the 49ers probably go with Fleener.	Fleener
	31	New England	Harrison Smith	S	Notre Dame	I don't know if the Patriots are just completely messing with everyone or what, but their two picks appear the most locked down selections outside of the top 3 quarterbacks.
	32	New York Giants	Doug Martin	RB	Boise State	With the release of Jacobs, the defending champions will need to replace him and Martin is a good all-around back to do it.  I have a sneaking suspicion they might reach on LaMichael James though.	James
