Mock Draft: 1-16

1. Chiefs: Luke Joekel OT Texas A&M
Even though I don't believe in Alex Smith, they handed him the reins, and he'll need a protector, plus with Albert being traded, they'll need a new tackle.

2. Jaguars: Star Lotulelei DT Utah
The Jaguars are in position to do two things, take the best player available, or trade out, and Star Lotulelei is an excellent protege.

3. Raiders: Shariff Foyd DT Florida
Shariff Floyd is an explosive defensive tackle, and with a terrible defense,
they need anything to improve upon it.

4. Eagles: Geno Smith QB WVU
If a team is in need of a QB, and they're is a QB much better than all the others, you have to take it.

5. Lions: Eric Fisher OT Centrel Michigan
After loosing both starting tackles, they're going to need to replenish their o-line.

6. Browns: Dion Jordan DE/OLB Oregon
With the signing of Kruger, they'll need a guy who can line up across from him, especially with Gocong cut.

7. Cardinals: Lane Johnson OT Oklahoma
This O-Line is absolutely horrendous. Now with Palmer at the helm, this OT definitely a solid guy.

8. Bills: Ryan Nassib QB Syracuse
I've been high on this connection, and with a week before the draft, the tension is rising. Kevin Kolb can go suck a d**k for all anyone cares, he's not gonna be the starter at the beginning of the season. With his college OC and HC there, he should be comfortable.

9. Jets: Barkevious Mingo DE/OLB LSU
The Jets like to take risks in the draft, and this guy could be one of the most risky guys at the DE position.

10. Titans: D.J. Fluker OT/OG Alabama
This lineman can play on the interior and on the outside. With David Stewart probably leaving, he'll have to take over right tackle duties.

11. Chargers: Jonathan Cooper OG North Carolina
This offensive-line is absolutely terrible, and they need help on all the parts of their line. Especially with Kris Dielman's surprise retirement.

12. Dophins: Kenny Vaccaro S Texas
I do think this a little high for a solid starting safety, but when most of the o-lingman are off the board, they'll have to hit another need.

13. Jets: Cordarelle Patterson WR Tenneessee
Most SMART team (Ansel) would choose the established and sturdy Tavon Austin, but since this is the Jets, we have to see at least one more year of Rex Ryan stupidity, this would be the worst pick of the 1st round.

14. Panthers: Sheldon Richardson DT Missouri
The Panthers have to plug the middle like I have to plug my nose. The middle of this defense was very bad, and Richardson is a solid DT, more athletic than the others.

15. Saints: Eziekiel Ansah DE BYU
I'm surprised that Ansah dropped this far, but I just don't like the take the best available in the top 10-12. This Saints defense was the epitome of a fluffy pillow defense. They would be average in college, and (just a joke) would lose to a pee-wee team because of their defense. Ansah is a great fit here.

16. Rams Tavon Austin WR WVU
Walterfootball.com said that they couldn't see Austin getting past 16, neither can I. The Rams are a pitiful offense, and Sam Bradford boasts Jared Cook as his best target. That cannot be the case. They need a guy who can just generate some energy.
