Picks 1-16, 17-32

17. Chicago Bears- OT Bobby Wagner, Wisconsin

- The Bears offensive line still looks to be a weakness and should be addressed early in the draft. Wagner would give Chicago two bookend maulers from Wisconsin.

18. Dallas Cowboys- S T.J. McDonald, USC

-The Cowboys addressed their CB needs, but still need an impact safety

19. Denver Broncos-G Jonathan Cooper, UNC

-The name of the game is protecting Peyton Manning, which is why the offensive line needs to be a focus next year.

20. Atlanta Falcons- DT Kawaan Short, Purdue

-The Falcons need to keep strengthening their defense and Short would be good value here.

21. Baltimore Ravens- OLB Jackson Jeffcoat, Texas

-Who knows how Terrell Suggs recovers from his injury, adding another pass rusher should be a premium.

22. Detroit Lions- S Robert Lester, Alabama

-The Lions secondary is still the weak part of that secondary. Lester could be a leader back there and really bring that team together.

23. Cincinnati Bengals-LB Nico Johnson, Alabama

-The Bengals don’t project to have many needs, but I think that LB will be up there.

24. Kansas City Chiefs-QB Tyler Bray, Tennessee

-The Chiefs need to find a future QB, and luckily there could be some nice options next year.

25. Philadelphia Eagles-LB Manti Te’o, Notre Dame

-A lot will depend on how the Eagles defense performs next year, but I think they could still be looking LB.

26. New Orleans Saints- DE Brandon Jenkins, FSU

-Pass rushers should be the Saints top target next year and Jenkins is a nice fit.

27. New England Patriots- OG Chance Warmack, Alabama

-The Patriots went defensive heavy in this draft which means I think they turn their attention to the offense next year.

28. San Francisco 49ers- CB Johnathan Banks, Mississippi State

-The 49ers don’t have a lot of needs, but could use some additional help in the secondary.

29. New York Giants- DT Kwame Geathers, Georgia

-Not a major need here at DT, but a good value pick.

30. Houston Texans- WR Terrence Williams, Baylor

-The Texans picked up some mid-round WR’s but should consider taking a top guy next year.

31. Pittsburgh Steelers- ILB C.J. Mosley, Alabama

-The Steelers would love to get a linebacking talent like Mosley for their 3-4 defense.

32. Green Bay Packers- RB Marcus Lattimore, South Carolina

-This is a great value pick if Lattimore proves himself healthy. A stable rushing attack is the one thing the Packers are lacking.

Picks 1-16, 17-32

1. Oakland Raiders- QB Matt Barkley, USC

   -The Raiders are doing a complete overhaul and could be well in the running for the top overall pick. While they just invested a lot into the quarterback position, none of them were picked by the current regime.

2. Jacksonville Jaguars- WR Robert Woods, USC

   -Despite adding Justin Blackmon in this past draft, the Jaguars could look to grab Woods here, who has elite receiver potential. There are some other directions Jacksonville could go, but Woods would be hard to pass up, especially if they are sticking by Blaine Gabbert.

3. Tampa Bay Buccaneers- CB David Amerson, NC State

   -The Buccaneers filled a number of needs this past April, but one area they didn’t touch was cornerback. With Barber likely retiring and Talib in serious legal trouble Amerson would make a lot of sense here.

4. Minnesota Vikings- WR Keenan Allen, Cal

   -The Vikings added their LT in Kalil this past April, but could use a big play weapon for Christian Ponder.

5. Indianapolis Colts- OLB Sam Montgomery, LSU

   -The 2012 draft was about fixing their offense, which leads me to believe 2013 will be more defensive centric. Montgomery has a lot of potential as a rush linebacker, and should have immediate impact for the Colts.

6. St. Louis Rams- OT D.J. Fluker, Alabama

   -The Rams can’t expect Sam Bradford to develop properly if they keep trotting out a sub-standard offensive line. Roger Saffold might be a solid RT and Scott Wells is a good center, but that is about it. Fluker could come in and take over the LT job.

7. Cleveland Browns- OLB/DE Jarvis Jones, Georgia

   -The Browns added a lot of offensive talent this past draft and could look to find some defensive help next year. Finding another top pass rusher is key for their success.

8. St. Louis Rams (via Washington)- OL Barrett Jones, Alabama

   -The Rams line is bad enough that they really need to consider spending both of their first round picks on the offensive line. Jones is versatile and can find a place at any position.

9. Miami Dolphins-S Eric Reid, LSU

   -The Dolphins secondary is still a weakness, with their safety position particularly a concern.

10. Seattle Seahawks- OT Chris Faulk, LSU

    -The Seahawks have used some premium picks on the offensive line recently, but it is still an area that needs addressing.

11. Carolina Panthers- DT Star Lotuleli, Utah

    -The Panthers didn’t add any early round defensive tackles which is something I expect them to fix early next year.

12. Buffalo Bills- CB Tyrann Mathieu, LSU

    -The Bills need to add more help in the defensive backfield and a playmaker like Mathieu could have an instant impact. This is probably a bit high for him, but I like his potential in this defense.

13. Tennessee Titans- DE Barkevious Mingo, LSU

    -The Titans need to continue to add pass rushers and Mingo is the top one on the board.

14. New York Jets- QB Tyler Wilson, Arkansas

    -The Jets are likely to witness another poor season from Mark Sanchez, what could lead to the Jets drafting a quarterback.

15. Arizona Cardinals- OT Jake Matthews, Texas A&M

    -The Cards added some offensive line talent, but could look to address this area even further in 2013.

16. San Diego Chargers-CB Xavier Rhoades, FSU

    -The Chargers Cornerback situation won’t get any better this season and the team should look to add another early next year.
