There should be a good amount of movement by teams in the first round this year. As we all know, one trade can shake everything up. This Mock Draft is based on teams staying put. Michigan Offensive Tackle Jake Long has already signed with the Miami Dolphins, so I can at least say I have one correct. Now for the hard part.

 

 

1. Miami Dolphins              Jake Long                OT      Michigan

 

2. St. Louis Rams                Chris Long               DE      Virginia

 

3. Atlanta Falcons               Glenn Dorsey           DT       LSU

 

4. Oakland Raiders              Vernon Gholston     DE       Ohio State

 

5. Kansas City Chiefs          Matt Ryan               QB       Boston College

 

6. New York Jets                 Darren McFadden   RB       Arkansas

 

7. New England Patriots   Keith Rivers           LB       USC

   I still think the Patriots will trade out of this pick. They might move down and try to get more value for their money, considering the guaranteed money that a seventh overall pick will command. They could even try to trade up and grab someone like Vernon Gholston or Chris long.

 

8. Baltimore Ravens            Ryan Clady             OT       Boise State

 

9. Cincinnati Bengals           Sedrick Ellis           DT       USC

 

10. New Orleans Saints       Mike Jenkins           CB       South Florida       

 

11. Buffalo Bills                  Dominique Rodgers-Cromartie CB   Tenn. St.

 

12. Denver Broncos             Branden Albert       OG       Virginia

 

13. Carolina Panthers           Rashard Mendenhall RB    Illinois

 

14. Chicago Bears                Jeff Otah                 OT        Pitt

 

15. Detroit Lions                  Derrick Harvey       DE       Florida

 

16. Arizona Cardinals          Leodis McKelvin     CB       Troy

 

17. Kansas City Chiefs        Chris Williams         OT       Vanderbilt

 

18. Houston Texans             Aqib Talib                CB       Kansas

24. Tennessee Titans           Limas Sweed            WR       Texas

 

25. Seattle Seahawks           Kentwan Balmer       DT        North Carolina

 

26. Jacksonville Jaguars      Calais Campbell       DE         Miami

 

27. San Diego Chargers       Jonathan Stewart      RB         Oregon

29. San Francisco 49ers       Gosder Cherilus       OT         Boston College 

 

30. Green Bay Packers         Brandon Flowers     CB         Virginia Tech 

 

**Patriots Forfeit Pick**

 

31. New York Giants            Dan Connor             LB         Penn State
