-- Opening guess and much will change with all the trades that are sure to happen.
1) Washington Redskins
The McNabb is Washington is over after two years and with the Skins having the top pick in the draft it's almost certain that they will take a QB. This pick also carries much value so it's possible that they could decide to move it but if they stay put the choice is easy as Tyler Dougherty is a franchise QB.
Prediction: QB T. Dougherty
2) Pittsburgh Steelers from Kansas City
The Steelers have built their defense always through their linebackers. Sitting at #2 there is only one logical choice and his name is Mario Moss. His speed reminds people of a young Patrick Willis and he could be the anchor that Steelers build around for years to come. This could very easily be the defensive ROY.
Prediction: OLB M. Moss
3) Cincinnati Bengals
The Bengals are loaded nearly everywhere except safety so it makes sense that they're looking to grab a play maker in the secondary. Dermonti Blount is the best S available in the draft and under the tutelage of Darren Sharper he could end up becoming one of the best safeties in the league.
Prediction: FS D. Blount
4) San Diego Chargers
The Chargers defense is in shambles so it's time to rebuild starting with the front seven. LE Curtis Gambol ran one of the best 40 times for a DE in history and has the potential to be a game changer as the defensive end spot.
Prediction: LE C. Gambol
5) Indianapolis Colts from Chicago
The Colts can pretty much draft whoever they want to as they have no real glaring needs. With the departure of CB Charles Woodson the Colts would probably like to solidify their secondary once again. CB Mohammed Alipate impressed everyone with his football knowledge as he scored some of the highest grades from scouts in Play Awareness, something the Colts loving having on D.
Prediction: CB M. Alipate
6) San Francisco 49ers
With the Cardinals completely retooling their passing attack the 49ers are going to look to keep their already excellent defense up to par. CB Earlzo Kyaunn has top end speed and will be counted on to match up with the top WR's in the game for SF.
Prediction: CB E. Kyaunn
7) Houston Texans
The Texans come off a very disappointing season despite what's one of the best rosters in the NFL. They do a sport a big weakness in the secondary so expect the 1st pick to address this issue. This could go two ways but in the end I think the pick with the better speed will end up winning out.
Prediction: FS E. Oguchukwu
8) Jacksonville Jaguars
With the acquisition of WR Sidney Rice, the Jaguars can use this pick to focus on some other needs. Safety is one of many needs so expect them to take whoever the Texans decide to pass on.
Prediction: SS V. Young
9) Detroit Lions from Arizona ...
The Lions have arguably the best DT at pass rushing in Suh so they'll want to compliment him with a good edge rusher. Tamarick Thomas would be an excellent addition to the Lions front 4 and would make the Lions a legit playoff threat.
Prediction: DE T. Thomas
10) Green Bay Packers
Last year the Packers drafted a CB in the 1st Round and while he had a solid year, it was clear that the Packers still need some help on the other side. Even though 2 CB's have already gone, this is a deep draft for that position so the Packers luck out. Jo Jo Field should be a good compliment to McNeil and give the Pack another CB duo that can shut down passing games for years to come.
Prediction: CB Jo Jo Field
11) Tennessee Titans

12) New York Jets

13) Philadelphia Eagles from Tampa Bay
No surprise to see the Eagles picking in the top 10 as they've usually found a way to field playoff teams and acquire high draft picks. I wouldn't rule out a trade here since the Eagles might decide to snatch another ready made star but if they choose to stay expect the Eagles to grab Roddell Lewis. He possess the type of speed that the Eagles love at LB and he'll be a star for years to come.
Prediction: OLB Roddell Lewis
