Mock Draft-TOP 32

[BigSyke]

Pete Prisco's top 32

1. Kansas City Chiefs -- Luke Joeckel, T, Texas A&M -- It appears they are going with Joeckel and a veteran rather than drafting Geno Smith and keeping Branden Albert.

2. Jacksonville Jaguars -- Barkevious Mingo, DE, LSU -- He has the speed they need off the edge and fits with what they want to do.

3. Oakland Raiders -- Sharrif Floyd, DT, Florida -- He is big and fast and they can lose a lot inside this offseason.

4. Philadelphia Eagles -- Dion Jordan, OLB, Oregon -- Chip Kelly looks to his old school to get a pass rusher.

5. Detroit Lions -- Dee Milliner, CB, Alabama -- He fills a need for a team that has struggled at corner for a long time.

6. Cleveland Browns -- Jarvis Jones, OLB, Georgia -- It all depends on the medical for Jones, who is an explosive edge rusher and would fill a need.

7. Arizona Cardinals -- Geno Smith, QB, West Virginia -- They would be thrilled if he fell this far.

8. Buffalo Bills -- Cordarrelle Patterson, WR, Tennessee -- This is a big-play league, and they lack anything other than Stevie Johnson on the outside.

9. New York Jets -- Ezekiel Ansah, OLB, BYU -- They can stand him up and finally have a dominant edge rusher.

10. Tennessee Titans -- Star Lotulelei, DT, Utah -- It's all about the medical for him. How does his heart test out?

11. San Diego Chargers -- Eric Fisher, T, Central Michigan -- He is moving up on a lot of boards and would fill a major need for the Chargers.

12. Miami Dolphins -- Tavon Austin, WR, West Virginia -- This little guy can fly and Miami lacks that in its offense.

13. Tampa Bay Buccaneers -- Xavier Rhodes, CB, Florida State -- He might be the most gifted of all the corners in this draft.

14. Carolina Panthers -- Sheldon Richardson, DT, Missouri -- They have to get better in the middle of their defense.

15. New Orleans Saints -- Damontre Moore, OLB, Texas A&M -- He can play 3-4 or 4-3 and with the Saints transitioning, he makes sense.

16. St. Louis Rams -- Lane Johnson, T, Oklahoma -- They could take him and play him at left tackle and move Rodger Saffold to the right side. Johnson had a great combine.

17. Pittsburgh Steelers -- Keenan Allen, WR, California -- With Mike Wallace leaving, Allen would fill that hole.

18. Dallas Cowboys -- Chance Warmack, G, Alabama -- Would they be thrilled if this happened or what?

19. New York Giants -- Menelik Watson, T, Florida State -- Their line needs upgrading at the right tackle spot and left tackle William Beatty is a free agent.

20. Chicago Bears -- Tyler Eifert, TE, Notre Dame -- He showed at the combine why he can be a 75-catch player.

21. Cincinnati Bengals -- Kenny Vaccaro, S, Texas -- Range and speed is what Vaccaro can bring to the defense.

22. St. Louis Rams (from Washington Redskins) -- Jonathan Cooper, G, North Carolina -- If they go line 1-2, can you imagine how happy Sam Bradford would be?

23. Minnesota Vikings -- Bjoern Werner, DE, Florida State -- Jared Allen isn't a kid anymore. And you can never have enough pass rushers.

24. Indianapolis Colts -- D.J. Fluker, T, Alabama -- They have to protect Andrew Luckbetter. Fluker is a big, strong right tackle.

25. Seattle Seahawks -- Johnathan Hankins, DT, Ohio State -- Alan Branch is a free agent and they need big bodies in the middle of their defense.

26. Green Bay Packers -- Travis Frederick, C, Wisconsin -- They need help in the middle of their line. This kid will be a good one.

27. Houston Texans -- Robert Woods, WR, USC -- They have to get somebody to helpAndre Johnson in their passing game.

28. Denver Broncos -- Sylvester Williams, DT, North Carolina -- They need more power players inside, and this kid is solid and did some good things at the combine.

29. New England Patriots -- Justin Hunter, WR, Tennessee -- They have to get better on the outside and Hunter can do that.

30. Atlanta Falcons -- Zach Ertz, TE, Stanford -- They might get Tony Gonzalez back, but they need his replacement just in case.

31. San Francisco 49ers -- Johnthan Banks, CB, Mississippi State -- Let's face it, the 49ers corners didn't have a great postseason.

32. Baltimore Ravens -- Kevin Minter, ILB, LSU -- The Ravens need a replacement forRay Lewis, and Dannell Ellerbe is a free agent.

what you think about it?

[stirs]

Would rather have Lane Johnson with our pick. But hey, everyone has their picks about now

[BigSyke]

yeah me too......i been noticed lane a long time ago..then i saw he did pretty good against moore in the bowl game.....but then i came off little because moore seems a little overrated to me...but yeah i would be fine with lane at 14.

[IamSoClutch]

yea would love to have lane johnson at our pick, moving gross to rt and putting johnson at left or vice versa would give us a great line especially if we could upgrade guard in FA. then just pray we could get hopkins, williams, or rodgers in the second

[Matthias]

Once Pete revealed his pick for us, I stopped reading. With Warmack still on the board, and he gives us Richardson? In fact, there's a whole bunch of other guys I would take over Richardson.

[carolina-chuck]

I really like Sheldon but at 14 I want BPA, not need. And that is Vaccaro!!!!

[BigSyke]

chuck u better watch tape on kv playing against texastech.

Gross doesn't have the girth or strength to be a RT anymore. If we draft a LT he is gone.

Why would we take another young Guard and deal with the same thing we did this year? Putting a young guard besides Bell isn't going to help this oline. We need a vet at RG.

So he wouldnt upgrade the RT position?

[CPF4LIFE]

Put Lane at RT and move him too LT when we finally decide to let go of Gross. Right now i wouldn't let go of him if we drafted a OT or not.

Amini was nowhere near the level Warmack is at coming out of college. Warmack is a vet in a rookie's body. Warmack is just as good, if not better than any free G we could pick up.

[Mr. Scot]

Prisco assumes we'll draft need-based, but Gettleman's statements indicate otherwise.

If it's BPA, I can't see taking Sheldon Richardson over Chance Warmack.

[Dash Global]

I dont really get the BPA argument. It is way to subjective with so many guys falling into the same talent level. Outside of the first few picks its rare you can see a clear talent gaps.

Plenty of players one can see making and immediate impact and being pro bowl type players at different positions.

With that said I see absolutely no way we pass up Lane Johnson if he is on the board.

Our draft position will only decrease every year and its hard to find quality LTs further down in the draft.
