1. Chiefs- Luke Joeckel T Texas A&M
Lets face it the Kansas City Chiefs have a lot of talent on their roster, they had 6 pro bowlers somehow this year. For this reason this is a hard pick to predict not only because there isn't a sure fire number 1 prospect this but also because the chiefs don't have huge holes in the roster. I'm going to go with Joeckel though because there is no guarantee Brandon Albert is back next year and Joeckel was the best tackle in the best conference in America the SEC. Therefore the pick is Luke Joeckel.

2. Jaguars- Geno Smith QB West Virgina
I explained this pick in the intro if Jacksonville is smart they'll take Geno Smith (Of course no one has ever accused the Jags of having football smarts so we will see what happens). If a team really wants to win you can't do it without a QB. Jacksonville clearly doesn't unless Gabbert turns into Tom Brady over night the pick should be Smith in my opinion.

3. Raiders- Sharrif Floyd DT Florida
The Raiders could go one of three guys here in my opinion: Sharrif Floyd, Dee Milliner, or Eric Fisher. Since I view DT as the biggest need and rate Floyd as the best defensive tackle in this draft I've got the Raaaaiiiiders! taking Floyd at 3.4. Eagles-Dion Jordan DE Oregon
So you may have been thinking Jordan and Chip Kelly would work out well in the NFL like they did in college, well so did I. Dion Jordan at this point in the draft would be the highest rated player on my board and since the Eagles defense wasn't so hot last year why not give them the best defensive player on the board.5. Lions- Eric Fisher T Central Michigan
Match made in heaven! At least this i what Matthew Stafford would be thinking if the Lions made this pick. The Lions clearly need help on the offensive line and Fisher is the top rated offensive lineman. Therefore this would be the best pick at this position. Why would they pass on a potential franchise left tackle?6. Browns- Dee Milliner CB Alabama
I believe Bruce Arians will pass on a QB as he either believes there isn't a franchise QB in this draft or he could get Matt Barkley, Ryan Nassib, or E.J. Manuel in the second round. With that being said, picking Lane Johnson definitely wouldn't be considered settling. Some including myself believe Johnson has the highest upside of any offensive lineman in this draft; and he definitely is better than any tackle on Arizona's roster.8. Bills- Jonathan Cooper G UNC
This pick is simple math. The Bills lost Andy Levitre, one of the best guards in football, to the Tennessee Titans. So therefore why not add the best guard in the draft? Cooper gives the Bills an extremely talented and athletic guard who can help ease the pain of the loss of Levitre.9. Jets-Ezekiel Ansah DE BYU
So what kind of coach is Rex Ryan. Oh yeah, he's a defensive minded coach. Therefore when he is shopping for the groceries as Bill Parcells would call it, why not get what you really want. This is why I believe the Jets add the best available defensive player Ezekiel Ansah. The Jets D was BAD last year and Ansah provides a very solid piece to that defense.
10. Titans- Star Lotulelei DT Utah
The Tennessee Titans have been one of the busiest teams in free agency throwing out over 100 million guaranteed to their newest additions. So when a team does this it usually means you have less needs and more flexibility to pick the best player available. This is why I think the Titans go with Lotulelei who I view as the best available player at this point.
Here is the rest of my first round:
