Real final mock

1. Oakland Raiders - JaMarcus Russell QB LSU. The pressure is enormous to draft a QB.

2. Tampa Bay Buccaneers from Detroit Lions, Detroit gets 1st (4th), and 2nd (64th) round picks - Calvin Johnson WR Georgia Tech. Detroit gets historically little to move down.

3. Cleveland Browns - Brady Quinn QB Notre Dame. The pressure on them to draft to quarterback is also enormous.

4. Detroit Lions - Gaines Adams DE Clemson. Detroit gets the guy they wanted at 2.

5. Arizona Cardinals - Joe Thomas OT Wisconsin. You have to figure this is Arizona's #1 guy; they draft on need more than most.

6. Washington Redskins - Amobi Okoye DT Louisville. Skins prioritize D line.

7. Minnesota Vikings - LaRon Landry S LSU. Peterson would obviously also be an option.

8. Atlanta Falcons - Adrian Peterson RB Oklahoma. Dunn is in his last season with the Falcons, they do like Norwood but you need 2 backs.

9. Miami Dolphins - Levi Brown OT Penn State. If the Dolphins can't get Quinn they'll go with the top O-lineman.

10. Houston Texans - Leon Hall CB Michigan. Corner is their biggest need and it sounds like Hall has held off Revis for the top spot.

11. San Francisco 49ers - Adam Carriker DE Nebraska. Mike Nolan loves to give the 3-4 look, Carriker can play inside in a 4-3 or outside in a 3-4.

12. Buffalo Bills - Patrick Willis ILB Ole Miss. There's a very real chance the Bills go way way off the board here.

13. St. Louis Rams - Jamaal Anderson DE Arkansas. At 6'6" 288 lbs you love the size. The Rams are also interested in Ginn.

14. Carolina Panthers - Greg Olsen TE Miami. Huge need for Carolina, seems like a match.

15. Pittsburgh Steelers - Darrelle Revis CB Pittsburgh. LB is a greater need, but that would be a reach here. Plus I like the idea of keeping Revis local.

16. Green Bay Packers - Marshawn Lynch RB California. The Packers have been linked to Lynch for months. This pick might also be in play for Randy Moss.

17. Jacksonville Jaguars - Reggie Nelson S Florida. Anthony Spencer, Timmons, or trading down are also possibilities, but they could really use a safety here.

18. Cincinatti Bengals - Lawrence Timmons OLB Florida State. The Bengals will take the best defensive player available, and all their starting LBs from last year are gone.

19. Tennessee Titans - Ted Ginn, Jr WR Ohio State. They need a target for Vick with Drew Bennett gone and a return specialist with Pacman in purgatory.

20. New York Giants - Joe Staley OT Central Michigan. Not a sexy pick but they've desperately needed a LT since Petitgout left.

21. Denver Broncos - Alan Branch DT Michigan. Since Dan Wilkinson nixed a trade here, Denver would be thrilled to land someone even fatter!

22. Dallas Cowboys - Robert Meachem WR Tennessee. He reminds me a little of TO with the ball in his hands, he breaks tackles in a similar manner.

23. Kansas City Chiefs - Aaron Ross CB Texas. I've had them taking a WR, but that's not Carl Peterson's style. Ross can also return kicks with Hall shipped to St. Louis.

24. New England Patriots - Brandon Meriweather S Miami. Both their safeties are coming off of major injuries, the safeties from the U have a good history.

25. New York Jets - Jarvis Moss Florida DE/OLB. Hybrids like Moss are tough to project in mock drafts because every team that has a 3-4 look can reach on them.

26. Philadelphia Eagles - Michael Griffin S Texas. The Eagles will definitely take a defensive back, I'll say they go with one who can play special teams.

27. New Orleans Saints - Justin Harrell DT Tennessee. Cornerback was their biggest need, but they just signed Jason David to a big offer sheet.

28. New England Patriots - David Harris ILB Michigan. PFT says mark it down.

29. Baltimore Ravens - Ben Grubbs G Auburn. Dwayne Bowe, Ryan Kalil, and Justin Blalock are the other options here.

30. San Diego Chargers - Dwayne Bowe WR LSU. Comes down to Bowe versus Jarrett and they take they guy with the measurables.

31. Chicago Bears - Jon Beason OLB Miami. OLB is a need even if they get Briggs signed.

32. Indianapolis Colts - Paul Posluszny OLB Penn State. With Cato June gone they have a big hole, and this guy just looks like a member of the Colts' defense (not a compliment).
