NFL Mock Draft

1. Miami Dolphins- Glenn Dorsey, DT LSU. I think he's the best defensive prospect in the draft, and Miami can find him a place to play. He'd be a good 3-4 DE regardless of what people say and a great 4-3 DT if they chose to keep that. Could be lured to McFadden though.
2. St. Louis Rams- Chris Long, DE Virginia. Rams have a need at DE, and Long is a great prospect. Not only is he a great attitude guy and a stout run defender, but also a productive pass rusher. Many have them pegged for the other Long, which would be a dumb idea with Pace coming back healthy and Barron being a better LT prospect than Jake.
3. Atlanta Falcons- Darren McFadden, RB Arkansas. The Falcons are in a 'need to reload' position. In addition to everything that they have gone through this season, almost their entire team is at a crossroad. Needing something to get the city excited about in the draft, in an ironic Vick-esque pick they take a glamor offensive prospect that will sell jerseys, tickets, and hope for a team currently in the gutter.
4. Oakland Raiders- Sedrick Ellis, DT USC. The Raiders have a definite need all along the defensive line that cannot be ignored. They are faced with a choice of an edge rush in Vernon Gholston or a Sapp replacement in local stud Sedrick Ellis. The choice will be easy after Ellis likely impresses even more at the combine than he did on the field. The near 300 lb Ellis not only is a quick pass rusher who will hold his own in the 40 yard dash, but a rumored weight room freak who will put up 30+ reps on the bench.
5. Kansas City Chiefs- Jake Long, LT Michigan. It's no secret that the Chiefs need to start rebuilding their OL. What better to start with than the top LT prospect falling into your lap? They could be tempted to take #1 QB prospect Matt Ryan here, but with the awful shape their line is in and their tenativeness to throw youngster Brodie Croyle in there, why throw millions more at a gunshy position?
6. New York Jets- Vernon Gholston, DE OSU. If the Jets have a glaring hole, it's the pass rush. They were 25th in the league in sacks, led by David Harris and Shaun Ellis who won't be confused with DeMarcus Ware and Richard Seymour any time soon. They are also looking to deal one of their only pass rushers this off-season in Dewayne Robertson because he does not fit their 3-4 scheme. So it makes plenty of sense to pick up likely the best pass rusher in the draft, who also has the athleticism to play at the stand up OLB position at the next level.
7. New England Patriots (via San Francisco)- James Laurenaitis, LB OSU. Fun fact of the day: Did you know the Pats LBs are ancient? Well, it's no secret they are. And they'd love to get Junior Seau Jr, but Rey Maulaga doesn't seem to be taking the NFL bait just yet. So they settle for Laurenaitis, who's all around game and football savvy have Patriot written all over him.
8. Baltimore Ravens- Matt Ryan, QB BC. The Ravens have a few needs. Cornerback, linebacker, maybe a wide receiver. But the one that blatantly stands out is the one they plugged Troy Smith into at the end of the season. You could smell the desperation. Steve McNair fell off hard the past two seasons and Kyle Boller has just never worked out. It's time to cut your losses and start fresh. This may seem a little low for Ryan, but I think this is exactly where his talent level should put him. QBs always get heavily over-valued though (see: JaMarcus Russell/Alex Smith/etc) so who knows?
9. Cincinnatti Bengals- Kenny Phillips, FS UM. The Bengals haven't had anything resembling a defense since god knows when. They'd love to have one of the defensive linemen fall to them and build through the trenches, but New York says no such luck. The Bengals settle for the highly rated Miami safety who has drawn comparisons to every recent Cane safety from Meriweather to Ed Reed.
10. New Orleans Saints- Mike Jenkins, CB USF. We all know the story on New Orleans by now. It goes by the name of Jason David, the most talked about CB in the NFL. Usually bad CBs don't come close to the pub David got, which just goes to show you how bad he was. Mike Jenkins is now the best cover CB in the draft now that Malcolm Jenkins has decided to return for another year. They could also use a LB here, but the value just isn't there unless Laurenaitis is.

Tell me if this isn't where I should post this, kind of confused!
