It’s report card time! Here at Bankroll Sports, we’re analyzing all 32 teams in the NFL and how they stack up from their wheelings, dealings, and draft picking over the course of the three-day extravaganza known as the NFL Draft!

Arizona Cardinals: The Cards had a puzzling offseason by trading away a number of key cogs from their Super Bowl team of two years ago. The made a nice “little” addition to their team at #26 by adding Tennessee DT Dan Williams to the defensive front. At 6’2″ 327, Williams will immediately become the starting nose tackle in the 3-4 scheme that is so pivotal for closing gaps. Don’t be surprised if 5th round draft pick QB John Skelton has a chance to compete for the starting job. Still, not all of the holes of this team were addressed. Final Grade: B+

Atlanta Falcons: Taking LB Sean Weatherspoon out of Missouri at #19 was probably a bit of a reach for the Falcons, but they addressed their biggest need in the process. Atlanta used two picks to grab offensive linemen in the mid rounds, but taking WR Kerry Meier in the fifth was interesting. The Falcons didn’t have a lot to work with and didn’t make a lot of value picks, which we will punish them for. Final Grade: C-

Baltimore Ravens: Did the Ravens really address a ton of team needs in this draft? Not really. But what they did do was consistently take the best player available. Those first four draft picks of LB Sergio Kindle, DT Terrence Cody, TE Ed Dickson, and TE Dennis Pitta all had tremendous value in their selection spots. Many love WR David Reed to come in as a slot receiver right away and compete for playing time. Final Grade: A

Buffalo Bills: We think that the Bills did a tremendous job of drafting RB CJ Spiller with their top pick, even if he was a big of a reach. Buffalo got the best talent available, and then addressed their defensive line situation with a pair of DLs in R2 and R3. Leaving Alabama DT Terrence Cody on the board at pick #41 and taking UCF DT Torell Troup instead seems question, but overall, the Bills did a nice job with their draft. Final Grade: B

Carolina Panthers: Though there’s no doubting the fact that the Panthers got some tremendous value with QB Jimmy Clausen at #48 overall, what were they thinking trading into the back end of the third round for a future second rounder to take WR Armanti Edwards? This is the second straight year that the Panthers pulled this stunt off last year too, trading this year’s first rounder to move into the second round to take DE Everett Brown out of Florida State. We like adding DE Greg Hardy out of Ole Miss in R6, but that doesn’t excuse the Edwards debacle. Final Grade: C

Chicago Bears: The Bears didn’t have much of a draft, but they didn’t do much with it either. FS Major Wright was a decent pickup in R3, but none of these other draft picks make us turn our heads. But just out of principal, trading all of those picks for QB Jay Cutler earns the Bears a lousy grade. Final Grade: D

Cincinnati Bengals: The Bengals clearly were out to make their team more athletic in this draft, and they did just that, picking up TE Jermaine Gresham, DE Carlos Dunlap, WR Jordan Shipley, and DB Brandon Ghee with their first four picks. DT Geno Atkins in R4 was a steal even though he is a tad undersized to play DT in this league. For our money, Cincinnati had one of the best drafts in the league. Final Grade: A-

Cleveland Browns: It was all about value for the Browns in this draft. Taking Florida CB Joe Haden might’ve been a tad bit of a reach at #7, but with SS Eric Berry off the board, Haden was the best DB option available. Nabbing QB Colt McCoy in R3 and RB Montario Hardesty before that were both steals, as both could be in the starting lineup from the get go. Watch out for WR Carlton Mitchell out of South Florida as well. Many think that the 6th rounder had Round 2 or 3 talent. Final Grade: B

Dallas Cowboys: Owner Jerry Jones has always loved glitz and glamour, and he got exactly that when he grabbed WR Dez Bryant at #24 in this draft. The idea of adding R3 DB Akwasi Owusu-Ansah may prove to pay real dividends. This wasn’t a fantastically deep draft for Dallas, but if Bryant plays up to his capabilities and doesn’t come into camp with a stick up his butt, the Boys had a tremendous draft. Final Grade: B+

Denver Broncos: With so many other holes on the team, why the Broncos drafted QB Tim Tebow in the first round is still puzzling. The Tebow pick was so big that the fact that they drafted Georgia Tech WR Demaryius Thomas three picks earlier seems to go unnoticed. WR Dez Bryant would’ve made more sense for the Broncos if they were determined to go that route, which makes this draft a very, very questionable one. Final Grade: D-

Detroit Lions: What is this? Optimism in the Motor City? Detroit made the right move by drafting Nebraska DT Ndamukong Suh at #2 overall, and did a great job trading into the back end of Round 1 to get Cal RB Jahvid Best. Put together last year’s #1 pick in the draft, QB Matt Stafford with WR Calvin Johnson, TE Brandon Pettigrew, and now Best, and the makings are there for an explosive offense in Detroit. Final Grade: A

Green Bay Packers: Many thought that Iowa OT Bryan Bulaga could’ve been a Top 10 pick, making him a complete steal for Green Bay at #23. This wasn’t a particularly flashy draft, but taking SS Morgan Burnett out of Georgia Tech could prove to pay dividends right away as well. Final Grade: B

Houston Texans: GM Rick Smith made no bones about what they wanted to accomplish in this draft. They passed on Boise State DB Kyle Wilson and instead opted for DB Kareem Jackson out of Alabama in Round 1, a pick which many in Houston are optimistic about. There’s also no doubt that RB Ben Tate is going to be in the fold in the backfield right away for HC Gary Kubiak. Many love what Houston did in the back end of this draft, grabbing the explosive KR Trindon Holliday in R6 and a utility FB/TE type of player in U-Pitt’s Dorin Dickerson in R7. Final Grade: A-

Indianapolis Colts: The rich keep getting richer. Even though many thought that the Colts were going to draft a ton of offensive linemen in this draft, they couldn’t pass on DE/OLB Jerry Hughes when he fell to them at #31. Indianapolis now has yet another one of these incredibly speedy pass rushers to throw into the mix, and Hughes should immediately become a force opposite of DE Dwight Freeney. The rest of this draft wasn’t overly intriguing, but Indy did a nice job with what it had to work with. Final Grade: B+

Jacksonville Jaguars: It feels like NFL draft experts are rating the Jags as one of the worst drafting teams every single year. This year was no exception, as DE Tyson Alualu was clearly picked at least a dozen picks ahead of where he should’ve gone. Jacksonville’s first four picks were all on defensive linemen, meaning HC Jack Del Rio has a lot of work to do to fill in the rest of the blanks on this team. There wasn’t a more embarrassing draft than this one. Final Grade: F

Kansas City Chiefs: GM Scott Pioli wanted some athletic players, and my did he get just that with his draft! SS Eric Berry might be the best athlete that was on the board this year, while taking both RB Dexter McCluster and DB Javier Arenas in the second round were possibly steals even though most figured that those were slight reaches where the Chiefs grabbed them. Not addressing the offensive line until R3 may ultimately hurt this team now, but Kansas City knows what it is doing for the future and set itself up nicely with some explosive game changers. Final Grade: A

Miami Dolphins: The Fins added DE Jared Odrick to their defense in what amounted to be a great value pick at #28 overall. A man that can take over in the Jason Taylor type of role, Odrick brings some great athleticism to the Miami pass rush. The next two picks were both on linemen as well, making the statement that HC Tony Sparano wants to sure up the battles in the trenches. Miami didn’t have a lot to work with, but it did a nice job of making what little it had work. Final Grade: B-

Minnesota Vikings: Many thought that the Vikes could’ve drafted QB Tim Tebow with their first round selection, but instead, they traded down and took DB Chris Cook at the top of R2 instead. We love the RB Toby Gerhart pick at #51, and DE Everson Griffen was a R1 talent that slipped into R4. Minnesota took care of that athletic quarterback situation with QB Joe Webb in R6. This was a nice draft, but when the dust settles, this is still a group of “what could be” instead of “what will be.” Final Grade: C+

New England Patriots: The Pats certainly have a lot of options now to work with. They traded down several times in the first round, ultimately selecting CB Devin McCourty out of Rutgers to shore up the secondary. There were a ton of Gators picked by this team, as DE Jermaine Cunningham, LB Brandon Spikes, and TE Aaron Hernandez were all great selections. Grabbing TE Rob Gronkowski at #42 overall and P Zoltan Mesko at #150 were both solid choices. Final Grade: A

New Orleans Saints: The defending champs only had six selections to work with. Taking FSU DB Patrick Robinson at the end of R1 wasn’t really a pressing team need, but a nice selection overall. The linebacker and safety problems weren’t addressed though, making this a very mediocre draft. Final Grade: C-

New York Giants: The New York pass rush used to be a feared unit, and the addition of DE Jason Pierre-Paul will only help restore order to a defensive front that has lacked in recent years. P Matt Dodge might’ve been the best seventh round selection in this draft, as he will immediately step in and replace Jeff Feagles. Final Grade: C+

New York Jets: HC Rex Ryan didn’t have many picks to work with, but his draft was already made in the offseason when the Jets added DB Antonio Cromartie, RB LaDainian Tomlinson, and WR Santonio Holmes to the mix. Taking DB Kyle Wilson from Boise State at #29 and OT Vlad Ducasse added two more starters to the bunch, and RB Joe McKnight is only going to further lock down a very strong running back corps in R4. We don’t like the RB Leon Washington trade to Seattle, but we understand that it was a necessity with the plethora of running backs at New York’s disposal. Final Grade: B

Oakland Raiders: What has this world come to? Are we really congratulating the Raiders on a good draft? Taking LB Rolando McClain was a fantastic selection in R1 and much better than the projected OT Bruce Campbell, who they were also able to successfully grab 98 picks later. DT Lamarr Houston was a great pick as well. However, the coup of the draft came when they traded a 2012 4th rounder for QB Jason Campbell, who could change the entire franchise. It might not have been the best draft, but Oakland might’ve had the best weekend of any team. Final Grade: A+

Philadelphia Eagles: The Eagles wheeled their way up to #13 to grab DE/OLB Brandon Graham out of Michigan. He’ll line up opposite DE Trent Cole to try to rush the passer in this very pass happy NFC East. WR Riley Cooper and RB Charles Scott are both names that could compete as backups, while R2 pick Nathaniel Allen could immediately step in as a starting safety. Final Grade: B

Pittsburgh Steelers: Pittsburgh has had a history of just drafting these big guys that can rush the passer, and they did just that by grabbing LB Jason Worilds, LB Thaddeus Gibson, and hybrid LB/DE Stevenson Sylvester in this draft. C Maurkice Pouncey will immediately becoming a starting interior guard. The move of the draft for the black and gold was probably when they traded a fifth rounder to Arizona to reacquire DB Brian McFadden. All in all, this was a solid draft for the depth of a strong team. Final Grade: B+

San Diego Chargers: Who knows what the Bolts were thinking when they traded up to #12 to draft RB Ryan Mathews out of Fresno State. Mathews’ stock was rising, but there was a chance to take him where they were, and if not there, then there was no need to trade up that high. As a result, the rest of this draft was relatively lousy, as San Diego didn’t pick again until the middle of the third round. LB Donald Butler probably won’t be any more than a special teams player. It’s not quite Jacksonville’s draft, as Mathews will still be a productive back for the Chargers, but they still had a miserable weekend. Final Grade: D-

San Francisco 49ers: What a great job the 49ers did taking care of their offensive line problems! T Anthony Davis and G Mike Iupati are going to nail down that OL for years to come, and FS Taylor Mays had first round talent as well. San Fran never did address its quarterback issue, which may set up another long year, but the pieces are in place for this to be a solid franchise in the not too distant future. Final Grade: A-

Seattle Seahawks: For years, LT Walter Jones was the man that protected Seattle quarterbacks. With his pending retirement, OT Russell Okung will step into his spot and probably not miss a beat. Taking SS Earl Thomas out of Texas screwed up a lot of teams’ drafts and really annoyed USC FS Taylor Mays. So much for Southern Cal loyalty from new Seahawks HC Pete Carroll! We like the WR Golden Tate pick in R2 as well. The back end of the draft wasn’t great, but the Seahawks did trade for RBs LenDale White and Leon Washington as well to cap off a great weekend. Final Grade: A

St. Louis Rams: The Rams simply had to draft QB Sam Bradford #1 overall in this draft to get some positive mojo going in St. Louis. The rest of this draft was solid as well, as OT Rodger Saffold was a nice pick at the top of R2, while WR Mardy Gilyard was a fantastic pick to start R4. DE George Selvie was a projected first round pick three years ago. He slipped to St. Louis at #226 overall and might prove to be a real asset in the future. Final Grade: B+

Tampa Bay Buccaneers: The Bucs would’ve much rather had Ndamukong Suh than Gerald McCoy, but there’s no shame in getting the fantastic DT out of Oklahoma at #3 overall. DT Brian Price and WR Arrelious Benn were both potential first rounders that came off the board to Tampa in the second round. WR Mike Williams, CB Myron Lewis, and LB Dekoda Watson all have tremendous potential, something that the Buccaneers have a history of capitalizing on. It wasn’t the best draft in the world, but Tampa Bay did a great job of bolstering a weak team through the draft. Final Grade: A-

Tennessee Titans: Getting DE Derrick Morgan to fall to #16 was fantastic for the Titans, who didn’t really have any major glaring needs coming into this draft. WR Damian Williams was probably a solid third round pick, while taking SS Myron Rolle in R6 might’ve been as good as a first rounder when it’s said and done. Still, the Titans have some questions at receiver and at safety that need to be addressed, but they couldn’t take care of all of their minor problems with the draft, especially considering that they didn’t have a second rounder. Final Grade: B

Washington Redskins: Not getting rid of DT Albert Haynesworth was the biggest problem on draft day for the Redskins. Yes, OT Trent Williams was a nice pick out of Oklahoma, giving the Sooners three of the first four picks on the board in this year’s draft, but the Skins didn’t do anything but acquire a 2012 4th rounder for QB Jason Campbell of any note over the course of the weekend. Final Grade: C

Every single season, there are surprises that happen in the NFL Draft that just shock us all. Here at Bankroll Sports, we’re prognosticating about some of the potential surprises, and how you can cash in by betting on some of the props available to you at BoDog Sportsbook!

The Buffalo Bills are going to have their chance to grab Jimmy Clausen, but they’re going to pass… as will a ton of other teams: Now here’s a shocker! First of all, Clausen lasting all the way to #9 seems like a bit of a surprise, as the Washington Redskins, Cleveland Browns, and Oakland Raiders are all potential prospects for Clausen as well. But it seems as though Buffalo is the likely destination for the Notre Dame quarterback, right? Think again. The Bills may see value in grabbing RB CJ Spiller or WR Dez Bryant just as much and take one of them off of the board. At that point, the free fall could be on. It doesn’t seem like that Jacksonville, Denver, or Miami are great candidates for Clausen. That’s when the fall could stop. San Francisco would love to see Clausen fall to it at pick #13, its first of two first round draft picks. You can grab that to happen at 5/2 at BoDog Sportsbook right now! You can also wager on him to slip past pick #9 as well at -110.

The prospects of getting a franchise left tackle may be enough for the Pittsburgh Steelers to trade Ben Roethlisberger: Sure, these rumblings have been going on for awhile now that Big Ben will be dealt for a first round draft pick, and though you may find that concept crazy, don’t discount the idea. Roethlisberger has definitely fallen out of favor in Pittsburgh, and with the way that the Steelers play football, many in Steel Town feel as though backup QB Charlie Batch could lead the team to wins just as easily as Roethlisberger could. Are you paying attention Buffalo? What about you, Jacksonville? The blockbuster very well could happen, and if it does, expect to see the Steelers try to grab a left tackle to sure up an offensive line that was woeful at times in 2009.

After Sooners go #1 and #2, the Tampa Bay Buccaneers are going to get the best player in this draft at pick #3: If the St. Louis Rams did this right, they’d draft Nebraska DT Ndamukong Suh with the #1 overall pick in the draft. But they won’t… They’ll grab Oklahoma QB Sam Bradford. That would make the Detroit Lions foolish to pass on him. But really, they’re the Detroit Lions… For whatever reason, they seem to prefer Oklahoma DT Gerald McCoy. If that’s the case, the Bucs should be running up to the podium with their selection right after Commissioner Roger Goodell start to utter “Ger-”. By all accounts, Suh was accepted as the top player in this draft after the Big XII Championship Game when he totally dominated a solid offensive line of Texas. Suh is a huge force in the middle of a defense, and he will anchor Tampa Bay for years to come at that position, where DT Warren Sapp made a living. Regardless of what else happens in this draft, if the Bucs end up with Suh, they’re going to be thrilled with their findings.

Tim Tebow Will be Drafted in the First Round: Ok, so maybe this isn’t that much of a surprise to all of you, but Tebow is a proven winner and he brings a ton of versatility to the table to the right team. There are a number of teams that have shown a tad bit of interest in the Florida Gator, but no one is ready to commit to him, particularly as the team’s top draft pick quite yet. Still, we think that the New England Patriots may be willing to take a flier on him at pick #22. If not then, at some point, someone is going to become enamored with the idea of having an arm and legs that strong on their team and will snare him before Thursday is complete. You can bet on Tebow to go in the first 29 picks right now at even money at BoDog Sportsbook.

The quarterback position has always been the make or break position for teams in the NFL. There aren’t a slew of signal callers that are most likely guys that are going to lead franchises to Super Bowls, but here at Bankroll Sports, we’re breaking down the top ten QBs available and projecting what teams that they might be suitable for.

1: Sam Bradford, Oklahoma Sooners: By all accounts, Bradford is most likely going to be one of the first names that you hear come off the board. The only question that surrounds him is whether or not he is able to stay healthy after suffering a pair of shoulder injuries at Oklahoma. We expect to see the St. Louis Rams take him with the top pick and make him the franchise’s QB for years to come.

2: Jimmy Clausen, Notre Dame Fighting Irish: Clausen could find himself being draft in the Top 5, but one must also remember that his predecessor at Notre Dame, Brady Quinn was once thought to be a Top 5 pick as well, and he ended up slipping all the way to pick #22. Things probably won’t be that bad for Clausen, but a drop out of the Top 10 is possible. Don’t be shocked if he’s playing in Buffalo next season with the Bills.

3: Colt McCoy, Texas Longhorns: If you’re looking for a guy who is just a proven winner, McCoy is your man. The Texas gunslinger had the most wins in the history of the Longhorns, which is saying something considering the fact that some guy named Vince Young started there for three seasons. There’s a chance that he could be drafted in the back end of the first round either via a trade from the top of Round 2 or by a team that is banking on the future, but don’t expect to see him suiting up too much in his first year in the pros. Perhaps the Washington Redskins could nab him as a project pick at the front end of Round 2.

4: Tim Tebow, Florida Gators: It’s anyone’s guess where Tebow is going to go in this year’s draft. We know he’s a winner and we know he can run Florida’s offense like none other, but he’s not a prototypical quarterback and rarely took snaps under center. Still, the Jacksonville Jaguars seem likely to snare him somewhere to try to boost ticket sales for a struggling franchise.

The rest of these quarterbacks are going to be mid to late round picks. If you’re looking for teams that may be in the market for these QBs in addition to the ones that are listed above, consider the Dallas Cowboys, Minnesota Vikings, Chicago Bears, San Francisco 49ers, Carolina Panthers, Arizona Cardinals, New England Patriots, Miami Dolphins, Cincinnati Bengals, Indianapolis Colts, Houston Texans, and Denver Broncos as legitimate options.

5: John Skelton, Fordham Rams: The Baltimore Ravens hitting a home run with Delaware QB Joe Flacco is going to make Skelton an interesting project pick for someone in the late rounds. At 6’5″, there’s no doubt that Skelton is built like a legitimate NFL quarterback, but his lack of competition is always going to be scary. Someone may pull him off the board at the end of Round 3, but most likely, he’s slipping to Round 4.

6: Dan LeFevour, Central Michigan Chippewas: The Chippewas just aren’t going to be the same without LeFevour under center as he has been for the past four years. He’s a duel threat, having rushed for over 3,000 yards in his collegiate career. This is a great project pick for a team that is looking for a Wildcat quarterbacks, so LeFevour should hear his name called by Round 4.

7: Jarrett Brown, West Virginia Mountaineers: If Pat White made it in the NFL, Brown will probably get drafted at some point as well. His 40 time was an impressive 4.54, making him a Wildcat threat as well. A team that uses a lot of creative offensive sets would love to add Brown to the arsenal, especially since he could also be used as a wide receiver if need be. He may be a fourth round pick as well.

8: Jevan Snead, Mississippi Rebels: For whatever reason, Snead decided to forgo his senior season at Ole Miss and enter the draft. Many thought that he’d be a first round pick at this time a year ago, but now, he’ll be lucky to go in Round 5.

9: Tony Pike, Cincinnati Bearcats: Pike has a strong arm and a big upside, but his lack of time under center at Cincinnati is going to scare off a lot of NFL GMs. Still, he led a solid Cincinnati team to last year’s Sugar Bowl with a perfect record before getting whooped by UF, and he’ll get drafted most likely at some point in Round 5 or 6.

10: Max Hall, BYU Cougars: Just having the name “BYU” next to your name means that you know how to throw the football. The downside for Hall is that he is already going to be 25 years old by the start of next season, and he still needs some seasoning to be a legitimate NFL quarterback, even as a backup. Still, he’ll get drafted and could make an impact on someone’s roster in a few years.

Yesterday we released how the NFC teams faired in the NFL Draft and today we take a look at how the AFC teams came away from the most important week of the off-season. Interestingly the AFC did a better job as a Conference with their draft selections as they have been known to do over the last few years. Also the AFC has won 7 of the last 9 Super Bowl Championships and it may be safe to say that performing well every year on Draft weekend could have some benefiting effects for the Conference.

Baltimore Ravens

Michael Oher was the last of the big 4 offensive linemen that received so much praise through the off-season. Oher has as much natural talent as any of them, but people question his work ethic. Paul Kruger will likely be a linebacker at the next level and he is an exciting player to watch who really gets after it. Ladarius Webb at the cornerback position will be a gamble with his size, but the class still comes out to be very solid. Overall Draft Grade: B+

Buffalo Bills

Buffalo is one of those teams that could have taken a better advantage of their drafting selections, but ended up having an average group of athletes. Aaron Maybin is a strong and quick linebacker that could even move up to the defensive end position in certain scenarios. However, Maybin maybe the type player that needs some time to develop. Outside of Maybin, only 3rd round pick Jairus Byrd has the potential to really make an impact which is rather disappointing considering the Bills had two first and second round selections. Overall Draft Grade: C-

Cincinnati Bengals

The Bengals may not have had the success on the field over the last few seasons, but they have been rather strong on drafting day the past few years. The Bengals picked up Andre Smith at number 6 who would likely been top two pick if he would not have had an awful off the field type issues during the off season. Rey Maualuga should be a solid player at linebacker and 3rd round selection Michael Johnson has tons of potential. Johnson has a lot of upside with a combination of speed and power that could mold him into one of the biggest success stories to come out of the 2009 rookie class. Overall Draft Grade: A

Cleveland Browns
The Browns put together a fairly good looking class. However, the only problem is that there are not any potential playmakers that jump out. Alex Mack was solid choice at center with a lot of strength and power. Brian Robiskie has a lot of question marks after lacking the speed many hoped he would have at the NFL combines. Mohamed Massaquoi has good hands and size that could earn some playing time in a few years time as well. Cleveland landed a lot of guys who will need a lot of work. Overall Draft Grade: C

Denver Broncos

The Broncos made many moves over the off-season to fill their need at running back which made their first round selection for RB Knowshon Moreno rather surprising. However, Moreno has the ability to turn any play into a highlight show with gifted quickness and surprising toughness for his size. The rest of the group has question marks which just add to the biggest question which is did Denver really benefit at all this off-season? Overall Draft Grade: D

Houston Texans

The Texans could have went after a defensive end with the first pick, but they got a solid linebacker in Brian Cushing. Cushing has good awareness and is can adapt to different schemes well. Houston backed up the defensive end need in the 2nd round selecting Connor Barwin. Barwin is one defensive end who has not gotten a lot of attention, but he is extremely athletic and possesses quality speed. Houston did a good job of filling needs on the defensive side of the ball, but some concerns for offensive depth may loom on the horizon. Overall Draft Grade: B

Indianapolis Colts

Donald Brown is just the type of running back that could be effective for the Colts. Brown is a hard runner that could be effective in the Colts offense. Any running back that can be effective for the Colts will be a plus and Brown could be a fitting match. Fili Moala has quick footwork for a defensive tackle, but may need more strength. CB Jerraud Powers is another defensive player that will need time to develop. Also, many experts believe the Colts could have gotten better results from taking a strong defensive lineman with their first selection rather than running back. However, still the Colts put together a good group of guys. Overall draft grade: B

Jacksonville Jaguars

Eugene Monroe and Eben Britton are huge additions along the offensive front. Considering the Jaguars gave up over 42 sacks last year, it is safe to say they addressed a big need. However, selecting WR Mike Thomas most likely will not fill the wide receiver need. Thomas is undersized only standing at 5-8. Jacksonville could be a very solid rushing team in the upcoming years and if they could somehow find a way to land a big time receiver then Jacksonville could be very dangerous offensively. Overall Draft Grade: A-

Kansas City Chiefs

Kansas City was the 2nd worse overall defense last year and the Chiefs wasted no time to target the defensive side of the ball with their first 3 picks. Tyson Jackson was a great choice, but not with Aaron Curry still on the board. When two of your top 3 tacklers from last year are secondary players it is safe to say you need some help up front and in the middle. Tyson Jackson and Alex Magee should be able to anchor down the defensive front after some time to develop into quality players. The acquisition of Matt Cassel over the off-season should get the offense in the right direction, but they still need help on that side of the ball. Overall Draft Grade: B

Miami Dolphins

The Dolphins got what should be a strong starter in their first selection with cornerback Vontae Davis. Most would agree to expect Davis to be one of the better cornerbacks in the league in a few years. However, the 2nd pick was a big gamble in QB Pat White. White led the West Virginia spread offense mostly by his legs. White will likely turn into a wide receiver that has a lot of speed, but how strong of a wide out he will turn out to be is the big question. Miami did better than most will give them credit for by adding some depth to the secondary and wide receiving groups. Overall Draft Grade: C-

New England Patriots

The Patriots did quite a good job with trading down to obtain two second round picks in 2010. Safety Patrick Chung selected in the first round should develop into a starter, but may take more time that most expect. CB Darius Butler is in similar situation, but expected to find the field. WR Brandon Tate is a big question mark. Tate could very well become a solid target at wide receiver or very well never be heard of again. The Patriots may not have gotten any immediate help, but they did get some talented youth. Overall Draft Grade B+

New York Jets

The Jets gave up their first and 2nd round picks along with other moves to get the number 5 overall selection to draft QB Mark Sanchez. Sanchez will become a starter and hopefully will fair better than the other Trojans quarterbacks over the last few years. Shonn Greene out of Iowa is a running back with a lot of upside and it would not be surprising to see him come on strong in a few years time. The move to get Sanchez was impressive and risky as they gave up some depth. However, the move very well could be worth the risk. Overall Draft Grade B+

Oakland Raiders

The Raiders have been heavily criticized for taking Maryland’s Darius Heyward-Bey over Michael Crabtree. However, Heyward-Bey has excellent speed and could be a down field threat very early in his career. Choosing Heyward-Bey over Crabtree is not nearly the mind boggling choice everyone has made it out to be, but rather a need for explosiveness. Drafting Michael Mitchell was rather shocking at the 2nd round as he probably would have been around for them to pick up later. The other WR drafted by the Raiders was Louis Murphy who could develop into an eventual starter despite being picked up late in the 4th round. Overall Draft Grade: D+

Pittsburgh Steelers

The Steelers selected Evander Hood at DT in the first round. Hood like most of the selections has a considerable amount of concerns. The best selection out of the Steelers’ class could likely end up lying in 3rd round selection Mike Wallace. Wallace had a strong year in helping turnaround The Rebels under Houston Nutt. Wallace averaged 20.1 yards per reception and has lightning quick speed that will make him difficult to defend even against the speedy NFL defensive backs. In an overview, Pittsburgh could have very well sought after some more offensive players especially on the line. After all they already have the best defense in the NFL. Overall Draft Grade: C

San Diego Chargers

The Chargers drafted Larry English with their first round selection. While English is a solid player, San Diego could have done better with their 16th overall pick. The Chargers did go after some depth on the offensive line. Louis Vasquez and Tyronne Green were two offensive tackles who most people have not heard about, but they have some similar characteristics to be hard workers. One of these guys should develop into a starter while both should get playing time in the future. Overall Draft Grade: B-

Tennessee Titans

Tennessee did a great job of filling their needs in search of some talent at the receiver position. Kenny Britt continuously climbed up the draft boards and for good reason. He has solid combination of size and speed that could develop into a quality receiver. 3rd round selection Jared Cook could be another big time player. It is not very often you get a tight end that can touch a 4.4 in the 40 yard dash. Cook is a tall strong guy that presents a lot of mismatches for linebackers to try and pick up. Expect both of these receivers to make quick impacts. Overall Draft Grade: A-

The 2009 NFL Draft turned out to be an exciting and unpredictable event as usual. The staff here at bankrollsports.com did a pretty good job with our prop bet picks so hopefully that added some extra money to your wallet. If you are wondering how your favorite team did in the draft, don’t worry we have a full review and grade for every team. For many teams, their selections could make immediate impacts on the field next season while other teams selections may need some time before they make a difference on Sunday. Check out the teams that did well and the teams that could have managed their selections better in our NFC Draft Grades. Also, be sure to check back to see how the AFC faired in tomorrow’s report.

Arizona Cardinals

The Cardinals got a big boost when they were able to snatch Chris “Beanie” Wells at the end of the first round. Wells give speed and explosive to the back field was has been missing in action. Imagine Arizona having a running game to go with their air attack. Wells ability for an immediate impact will be sought after, but that could be asking a bit much. LB Cody Johnson and safety Rashad Johnson should fill some needs on defense, but both players will need time to develop. Overall NFL Draft Grade: B

Atlanta Falcons

I believe it is safe to say that Atlanta was focused on filling the need on the defensive side of the ball. The Falcons drafted 6 out of 7 defensive players over the weekend. Peria Jerry was selected 24^th at the defensive tackle position. While we do not see most of these guys coming in to make immediate impacts, the defense could become a force in a few years. Overall NFL Draft Grade: B-

Carolina Panthers

The Panthers went well out of their way to secure selecting defensive end Everette Brown. Brown was listed as high as a top 5 pick on a few draft boards before fading in the final weeks. With questions looming around Julius Pepper’s future at Carolina, the Brown move makes a lot of sense to keep the defensive effective as they need to be. Sherrod Martin and Captain Munnerlyn both were chosen at the safety positions. Munnerlyn was a last round sleeper and Martin could get playing time early.  Overall NFL Draft Grade: B-

Chicago Bears

Well the Bears biggest move over the off-season was their trade to get Jay Cutler, but they still have a lot of concerns. The Bears got Juaquin Iglesias with the 2nd pick in the draft. The former Oklahoma wide out was a step slower than most in the combines and I believe he could be a bust. The bottom line is we do not see things taking any dramatic turns here. Overall NFL Draft Grade: C

Dallas Cowboys

The Cowboys gave up some early round picks in other transactions, but picked up a lot of late round picks that should add depth to the lineup. Some experts say they did not feel their need in the secondary, but I believe Michael Hamlin out of Clemson is a considerable sleeper. LB Jason Williams could see some playing time considering how inconsistent the Cowboys have been in the middle of the field. Overall NFL Draft Grade: B-

Detroit Lions

It definitely helps when you have the overall number 1 pick in the draft and then you also have another late first pick to back that up. Matthew Stafford has all the ingredients to be a long term quarterback and late first round selection Brandon Pettigrew is an excellent addition. Pettigrew does everything well from blocking to catching passes. Detroit definitely had needs all over the field, but these two picks could really blossom into something nice. Overall NFL Draft Grade: A-

Green Bay Packers

The Packers possibly the best job of any team over the weekend. Grabbing DT B.J Raji was a perfect solution to the new defense. Clay Matthews will add more support in the 4 linebacker figuration. Offensive tackles T.J Lang and Jamon Meredith should come in and give Green Bay some much needed depth along the front line. Looking back no other team fit their specific needs as well as the Packers. Overall NFL Draft Grade: A

Minnesota Vikings

This could be one of the disappointment classes for the Vikings. Actually it could go either way as they have some talented players, but a lot of question marks surrounding them. Percy Harvin was tremendous at the college level, but size could play a factor. However, Harvin could make it the size factor with blazing speed all depending on how he fits into Minnesota’s offense. Jasper Brinkley had big junior season at South Carolina, but suffered a knee injury and red shirted his true senior year. Brinkley looked a step slower in all directions after the injury and that could throw up some red flags for the long haul. Overall Draft Grade: C plus

New Orleans Saints

The Saints did a fairly solid job over the off-season. Selecting Malcom Jenkins at the number 14 overall selection was a strong pick considering Jenkins could become a legitimate defensive force and quickly. Jenkins was the only pick in the first 3 rounds considering other transactions that acquired Jonathon Vilma and Jeremy Shockey. Chip Vaughn should also give defensive support in the distant future as well which was a big need for New Orleans after a dreadful secondary last season. Overall NFL Draft Grade: B-

New York Giants

Hakeem Nicks was a gamble selection in the first round, but could be a big time player. William Beatty should have been taken earlier and New York benefited from the offensive tackle being overlooked. WR Rhamses Bardin at one time or another was a sleeper pick on nearly every board and is another big target for Eli Manning. While it’s unfair sometimes to lay an entire class in the hands of one player, this one definitely falls on Nick’s ability to progress into an every down receiver. Overall NFL Draft Grade: B-

Philadelphia Eagles

The Eagles got a few selections that could make immediate impacts while a few others may never see the field. Jeremy Maclin could be a special team’s explosive threat and eventually develop into a big time receiver that possesses a lot of speed. After RB LeSean McCoy and Cornelius Ingram selections, it was a big fall off. However, those 3 guys should make some type of difference. The question is how long will that take? Overall NFL Draft Grade: C+

San Francisco 49ers

San Francisco did not necessarily have a bad class of players, but just wondering if they really addressed the needs. However, Michael Crabtree has the size and hands to make him an exciting offensive threat. Expect to see Crabtree on the field this year and by the 2^nd half of the season to become a threat. Many have doubts on Alabama’s Glen Coffee, but he is a solid hard nose runner that should be able to find away to get playing time in the future. Overall NFL Draft Grade: B

Seattle Seahawks

Aaron Curry was listed as high as a possible number one selection and to be honest he may very well be the best all-around player in this year’s class. Curry will be a threat up the middle for some time to come. 2^nd round selection Max Unger has a lot of upside. He has great quickness for a center and could be used in a lot of pull down running situations. Expect WR Deon Butler to also find the field before too long as well. The entire group may not be a solid as hoped, but some solid talent nonetheless. Overall NFL Draft Grade: B+

St. Louis Rams

The Rams chose Jason Smith as the top offensive linemen in possibly the most talented class in the history of offensive big men. Smith could be ready to play on Sunday today and do not expect it to take him long to be extremely effective. James Laurinatis is another solid grab in the second round. St. Louis has had some problems with keeping guys on the field for long periods of time. These two selections should put those worries to rest. Overall NFL Draft Grade: B

Tampa Bay Buccaneers

The Buccaneers may get some eventual help from QB Josh Freeman who they selected in the first round. Freeman appears to have what it takes to make the field and be an effective quarterback, but still will need time to learn. DT Roy Miller and DE Kyle Moore should add some depth to the defensive side of the ball. However, the big problem with this class is that there is not one person that is going to come in and make an impact. At best they may have two or 3 guys in a few years to develop into solid players, but again that is only at best. Overall NFL Draft Grade: D

Washington Redskins

Brian Orakpo has the speed and explosiveness that NFL experts were drooling over after the NFL combines. Orakpo definitely has the ability to have a long tenure in the league. Kevin Barnes is a solid cover guy who could also make his way onto the field next season. After these two guys, the Redskins are another team that had a big drop off towards the bottom of the class. Robert Henson was a late selection that could blossom, but there will need to be a lot of work done to change some bad habits. Overall NFL Draft Grade: C+

The 2009 NFL Draft class will be highlighted by one of the best group of offensive lineman in history. Usually teams are most likely to find the big play capability guys on the offensive or defensive side of the ball to grab the most attention. However, normally you may not hear much about the big guys up front until you see one of these guys get selected between some of the more popular picks. However, one thing you can bet on for the 2009 draft is that you will hear plenty of offensive lineman names as they will steal the show. A total of 3 offensive linemen have a legitimate chance to be selected as high as the top 10 selections while up to around 7 have very strong chances to be taken in the first round. Entering the NFL combines and workout session offensive line standout Andre Smith was regarded by most to be the best offensive lineman in the country, but things have quickly turned upside down for the junior from Alabama as he could fall to around the 3^rd or 4^th lineman selected. Take some interesting prop bet action on how the offensive linemen will be selected in the 2009 draft as we provide the most up to date rankings of the 2009 offensive line class.

1. Jason Smith (Baylor)
Jason Smith has benefited the most of perhaps any player in the NFL workouts and drills leading into this years NFL Draft. The 6’5 307 pound senior out of Baylor started 39 games while paving the way on the left side of the line. Smith openly stated entering the workout session that he was the best linemen in the draft and he has backed up the talk through early indications. Smith has extremely gifted footwork for an athlete of his size and has tremendous growing potential. The only downside he may have is his technique that may take at least half a season to smooth out. Still, Smith has enough potential to be fighting for a Pro Bowl spot by his sophomore campaign. Look for Smith to be a lock for the top 3 spots in the NFL draft while likely looking like a number 2 selection with the Rams.

2. Eugene Monroe (Virginia)
Eugene Monroe already has the build of an NFL offensive linemen and also contains great footwork as well. Monroe was highly regarded coming out of Virginia on the offensive line and has not disappointed during the off-season. Monroe has smooth footwork and has the ability to cover speedy defensive ends. The 6’5 315 pound two year starter out of Virginia will be a definite top 10 selection and could go as high as number 4 considering how Seattle chooses to seek the OT or WR need first. The downsides with Monroe that may be why he is not taken ahead of Smith is that he did have a knee that bothered him in college that may be a minor concern.

3. Andre Smith (Alabama)
Smith killed his reputation during the off-season he had build up through his years dominating the most talented defenses in college football through the SEC competition. Smith broke team rules and missed out on the Crimson Tide’s BCS Sugar Bowl. Add to the fact there were some Agent issues during the NFL combines and Smith’s stock dropped considerably. However, Smith is the biggest and strongest linemen on the board that has huge potential to be one of the best linemen in the league. However, work ethics and dedication may be an issue. Still, Smith likely never drops out of the top 15 even if his stock does not raise any before the draft.

4. Michael Oher (Mississippi)
Oher is another offensive lineman who has seen his stock fluctuates through the NFL combines. Oher was listed as high as being the number 1 selection for the offensive line group in many people’s first mock drafts, but has had rather poor showing to the NFL scouts. However, that is not to say one bit that Oher will not be a big time offensive lineman. At 320 pounds, the interesting aspect for Oher is that he could go as high as the top 10 or drop towards late first round. Oher has wonderful finesse ability to handle the smaller quick defensive lineman while also maintaining a lot of power at the same time. There has been talk about inconsistency, but the upside is too big to ignore and would be shocked if he is not gone by the top 15 with Andre Smith.

5. William Beatty (Connecticut)
William Beatty may not be getting the attention the big 4 are receiving since all of those players are Top 10 potential selections. However, Beatty will be a mid to late first round selection as well. Beatty really opened a lot of eyes with one of the better senior bowl weeks out of the offensive lineman. The former Huskies standout has a lot of lateral speed and quickness that make him an excellent pass blocker. As another big man with a lot of upside do not expect either the Detroit Lions or the Minnesota Vikings to both pass up Beatty as late first round selection as both those teams will be eyeing needs up front on offense.

6. Eben Britton (Arizona)
Eben Britton could be another candidate that could be picked up by Minnesota or Detroit. Britton is what we would like to call the best unpolished lineman on the board meaning he will need a lot of touch-up work, but the end result could be incredible. Britton has excellent size standing at 6’6 and 310 pounds. The Arizona Wildcat will possibly need a little team to develop to work out the inconsistencies, but could be a well above average lineman in the years to come.

7. Alex Mack (California)
Alex Mack is the only true center that is on the board, but is a very interesting athlete. Mack is the final legitimate candidate with the possibility of being selected in the first round. The former Golden Bear center has excellent power that makes a punch off the line. Mack appears to be a solid pass rusher while needing a bit more athleticism for moving in the run blocking scenarios. Expect Mack to flirt with one of the last picks in the first round which could shockingly total 7 offensive linemen.

8. Jamon Meredith (South Carolina)
Jamon Meredith was one of the only consistencies among the offensive line during his tenure at South Carolina. Meredith started 25 straight games for South Carolina which makes him a durable selection. The big downside for Meredith is he may be a few pounds lighter than what most teams would like taking the scales at 290 pounds. Meredith has been subject to not displaying enough power as well which does not help the cause, but has room to grow and develop the already well established talent. Meredith will be great back-up for a year or two that will likely grow into an everyday starter.

9. Phil Loadholt (Oklahoma)
Phil Loadholt is the biggest offensive lineman on the board tipping the scales at nearly 350 pounds which is bigger than the big Andre Smith of Alabama. Loadholt is extremely strong power blocker that will be great in short yardage and running situations. However, with the tremendous amount of power there is a lack for speed and agility. Loadholt will need to trim down or get lighter on his feet to stay in the game during pass blocking situations considering will likely struggle against the speedy NFL defensive lineman. However, the power and size can not be ignored as we expect Loadholt to be selected around the middle of the second round.

10. Max Unger (Oregon)
Max Unger is another center that has a lot of upside. Unger may not have the tremendous power to compare with Alex Mack, but makes up for it with gifted quickness for a big fellow. Mack’s speed is noticed when he pulls from the center position and picks up blocks along the offensive ends giving teams a lot options in rushing plays. Expect the Oregon center to be another 2^nd round selection that could become an every down player in a few years.

The month of April is here and that means one thing for big football fans and that is NFL Draft Time. The one part of the off-season that really can make or break team’s chances to succeed next season. While many may be aware of the biggest names entering the NFL Draft, we will break down one of the most exciting positions on the field at wide receiver. Take a look as we rank the top ten wide outs in the 2009 class and their chances to make an impact on Sundays. This year’s receiving class is very talented and loaded with speed. The 2008 WR core was the only in nearly 20 years to not have at least one receiver drafted in the first round. However, the chances of that happening again this year are absolutely none as up to around 4-5 college standouts have the opportunity to be selected in the first round. Take a look at the biggest names on the board at the wide receiver position.

1. Michael Crabtree (Texas Tech)
Crabtree exploded onto the college football scene last year with help of the Red Raiders early season success. The sensational sophomore really became a household name when he caught the game winning touchdown over Texas in the final two seconds of the ball game while tight roping the sidelines. However, Crabtree had long established his playmaking ability before the season defying play. The sophomore racked up over 3,000 yards in just two seasons at Texas Tech with a combination of strength, speed and size that makes him extremely difficult to defend. Crabtree has been hampered by injuries all during the NFL workout sessions, but is widely declared as the best receiver in the draft and will likely be gone if the first 4 selections.

2. Jeremy Maclin (Missouri)
Maclin will likely be the number two receiver to go in the 2009 class. The red-shirt sophomore out of Missouri terrorized the Big 12 this season in many different ways. Maclin set an NCAA record as a freshman posting over 2700 all-purpose yards. Maclin has great mobility, but only stands at 6’0 even. However, he could be a great fit to make an immediate impact for teams as a lookdown receiver and possibly be a potential returner on special teams as well. Look for the star receiver out of Missouri to go around the number 10 overall selection range.

3. Kenny Britt (Rutgers)
Britt may be the underdog in consideration of popularity, but he has been very impressive in the months leading up to the NFL draft through the workout sessions. Britt may be the best receiver in terms of long-term tenure to the NFL. The Rutgers standout has a considerable size advantage over the other top choices in the draft. Britt also contains very strong acceleration and catching ability which could make him a big play threat.

4. Darious Heyward-Bey (Maryland)
Heyward-Bey may be the most unpolished receiver in the draft with so much potential in store. The sophomore out of Maryland only caught a little over 600 yards last season for the Terrapins, but that was from an offense who struggled in the passing department. Heyward-Bey may have some issues with actually catching the ball, but his speed will be the big eye opener. The potential superstar posted one of the fastest NFL combine times at a 4.3 flat in his very first attempt, and if he can work on the route running along with other areas then he can definitely become a big time player.

5. Percy Harvin (Florida)
If you kept up with the Florida Gators National Championship season, then you can make a legitimate argument that Percy Harvin was possibly the biggest asset to the Gators offense and not the more popular Tim Tebow. Harvin was used in many different type scenarios and even lined up in the back field for some plays meaning his versatility is superior most others receivers. Game-breaking speed and play making ability jump right out, but his durability and size could hold him back a few spots despite his play at the college level.

6. Hakeem Nicks (North Carolina)
Hakeem Nicks led the ACC in total yards this season with over 1,200 receiving yards while adding 12 touchdowns. Nicks will be the first Tarheel selected in the NFL draft with other star wide out Brandon Tate likely to coming shortly after. Nicks ability to turn plays from nothing into something were a highlight of his college career. After a breakout junior season campaign, Nicks could possibly go as high as the late first round but will probably end up as a 2nd round selection.

7. Brandon Tate (North Carolina)
North Carolina will put their 2nd receiver in the draft with standout Brandon Tate given the slight chance Tate is selected ahead of Nicks. The downside to Brandon Tate is he suffered a season ending injury that needed surgery to repair an ACL and MCL. The electrifying wide receiver may have been a top 5 pick among wide outs in the draft if not for that injury, and the question everyone has is how will the injury affect him in the future?

8. Derrick Williams (Penn State)
Williams may well be the only receiver on the board drafted solely for being a returner on special teams. The former Nittany Lions return specialist averaged 18.5 yards in his career in Happy Valley on kick returns. Williams posted some disappointing 40 times in the NFL workouts and will likely not be used in the primary receiver role. However, his return skills may be enough for a team to gamble on in hopes to improve special teams play.

9. Brian Robiskie (Ohio State)
Brian Robiskie is one of those receivers in the draft that you just may not be able to measure the amount of potential. Robiskie was apart of the heavily run favored offense from the Buckeyes and there may be some talent just waiting to explode. The Ohio State senior has solid size, but the questionable aspect may be his speed. After some slower than average times at the combines, Robiskie could fall downwards.

10. Louis Murphy (Florida)
Louis Murphy was one of the lost names among the National Title roster that just may have been in the shadow of Percy Harvin and Tim Tebow. However, Murphy was a solid threat for the Gators passing attack and has the potential to become an NFL starter as well. Great size and speed give him lots of room to develop. Anybody not needing any direct impact on the field this year, may target Murphy as he appears to have a tremendous room to grow in the years to come.

Looking for a good way to bet on NFL football during the off-season? One great way is to take advantage of the prop bet action Bodog (10% Cash Bonus – Click Here) and BetUS (100% Match-Play Bonus – Click Here) have regarding the picks in the 2009 NFL draft. There will be many different bets available at these books in trying to predict where some of the top superstars will land at the next level. Always one of the most popular bets headlining the NFL draft is picking who will be drafted number 1? Last week the NFL football experts got their first looks at some of the top college players through the NFL workout sessions and the NFL combines will take place over the next few weeks. Today I bring you the most up to date version of my top 10 mock draft picks which may provide assistance to those who look take advantage of the exciting prop bets from our sponsor sportsbooks.

1. Detroit Lions – QB Matthew Stafford (Georgia)

Detroit Lions new coach Jim Schwartz has hinted the idea of going after one of the top offensive lineman in the draft. However, Matthew Stafford will likely be one of the biggest winners of the NFL combines as the NFL scouts continue to be impressed by his poise and decision making ability. Stafford fits the mold of an NFL quarterback perfectly and his stock will rise over the next few weeks even more. The Lions might like to take a lineman, but they will take Stafford in hopes of him turning to a franchise quarterback.

2. St. Louis Rams – OT Eugene Monroe (Virginia)

Here is where the big debate begins. The Rams will definitely take the top lineman on the board to try and give running back Stephen Jackson some support in the running game. However Andre Smith, Eugene Monroe, Jason Smith, and Michael Oher are all outstanding talent that could go in the top 15. In what order is a tough question to answer. Smith might have been the leading candidate until some agent issues in the NFL workouts, and Monroe may have the most experience out of them all.

3. Kansas City Chiefs – LB Aaron Curry (Wake Forest)

This pick will be an interesting position. The Chiefs have a number of needs that they could address. If Stafford is somehow not selected by this point, the Chiefs may very well take him at number 3. However, expecting he is off the board filling the need on defense seems like the logical area to focus. Aaron Curry will be the biggest name on the defensive side in the draft and will also fill the need at line backer for the Chiefs.

4. Seattle Seahawks – WR Michael Crabtree (Texas Tech)

Crabtree drew a lot of attention last season after some big catches especially in the dramatic win over Texas. Crabtree will be the top WR in the 2009 class and seems to be destined for Seattle due to a major need for a star wide out on offense. The Seahawks ranked among the bottom 5 passing offenses in the NFL last season with not one receiver catching over 700 yards through the air.

5. Cleveland Browns – CB Malcolm Jenkins (Ohio State)

The majority of draft experts predict the Browns to go after a big time defensive end with the number 5 selection. However, that would mean that either Everette Brown or Aaron Maybin would have to be picked at number 5. While that may be the outcome, I believe that is a little too much of a jump for both those DE’s. The Browns may resort to Malcom Jenkins as he is a great CB that could give them big play ability on defense which is what they are looking for in the first place.

6. Cincinnati Bengals – OT Andre Smith (Alabama)

Smith sat out of the Sugar Bowl due to breaking team rules. Since then, Smith has had some trouble as he walked out of the NFL first workout session. Due to those problems his stock will drop from the possible 1 or 2 pick he could have been. Cincinnati will address the lackluster offense. The Bengals likely pick Smith up at the number 6 spot to feel the urgent need on the horrible offensive front that allowed over 50 sacks last season.

7. Oakland Raiders – WR Jeremy Maclin (Missouri)

Oakland likely has the worse receiving core from top to bottom in the NFL and that will be a focal pointing heading into to this year’s draft. Zach Miller lead the Raiders receiving with 778 yards and the next Raider only brought in an embarrassing 366 yards. Maclin is a speedy receiver that could give Oakland a threat down the field which would improve the underachieving offense.

8. Jacksonville Jaguars – OT Jason Smith (Baylor)

The Jaguars very well could be the 3rd team inside the top 10 to select a premier offensive lineman. Jason Smith has impressed many NFL scouts through the early workouts and that should be enough to allow him to be picked up inside the top 10. Jacksonville feels their primary need up front with this selection.

9. Green Bay Packers – DE/OLB Aaron Maybin (Penn State)

Green Bay has turned over a new leaf with a new look on defense turning to a 3-4 scheme. The Packers will attempt to add some talent to that side of the ball. Maybin fits the mold of the defense the Packers will try to establish. Maybin can be a run stopper who could drop back into zone coverage that could be used well in a 3-4 type scenario.

10. San Francisco 49ers – QB Mark Sanchez (USC)

San Francisco would likely try to avoid drafting another quarterback in this year’s draft, but they may not be able to pass up Sanchez if he is still available. If they can not come to terms with accepting that decision, then the trading down option could be the best scenario for San Francisco to consider.
