CoachJ's Picks
|
1.
|
Indianapolis Colts
|
|
QB, Andrew Luck, 6'4'' 235, Stanford
|
QB, Andrew Luck, 6'4'' 235, St.
|
| |
The Colts are starting over from scratch and are going to
draft a new face of the franchise.
|
Has all the intangibles scouts look for. Fans
want a big name to replace Manning.
|
2.
|
Washington Redskins
|
|
QB, Robert Griffin III, 6'3'' 210, Baylor
|
QB, Robert Griffin III, 6'3'' 210
|
| |
The Redskins traded up to get this Very Athletic QB who
throws a great deep ball.
|
Most gifted in the draft at his position.
Reminds me of Vick with better precision.
Redskins gave the house to get him.
|
3.
|
Minnesota Vikings
|
|
OT, Matt Kalil, 6'6'' 305, USC
|
OT, Matt Kalil, 6'6'' 305, USC
|
| |
After drafting QB Christian Ponder last year the vikes will
draft someone to Protect his blind side.
|
Thought of as the best lineman in the draft.
Ponder and Peterson will benefit from this
pick. Don't be surprised if the Vikings trade
down.
|
4.
|
Cleveland Browns
|
|
RB, Trent Richardson, 5'11'' 220, Bama
|
WR, Justin Blackmon, 6'1'' 205
|
| |
The Browns have alot of needs to fill, Why not start with a
beast at RB.
|
Best wideout in the draft. The Browns have
no WR who produce consistently. Experts
think Richardson here, but there are several
RBs, but only one Blackmon.
|
5.
|
Tampa Bays Bucs
|
|
CB, Morris Claiborne, 6'0'' 177, LSU
|
CB, Morris Claiborne, 6'0'' 177
|
| |
Ronde Barber is 104 years old, They have to draft
someone to replace him.
|
Best cornerback in the draft. The NFC
torched defenses(Rodgers, Brees, Stafford,
Ryan) Tampa needs a good secondary to
compete. Barber is getting old.
|
6.
|
St. Louis Rams
|
|
WR, Justin Blackmon, 6'1'' 205, Okie St.
|
WR, Michael Floyd, 6'3'' 220
|
| |
The Rams trade back and still get the best WR in the draft.
|
Next best WR, I believe if Blackmon is gone
the rams may trade this pick.
|
7.
|
Jacksonville Jaguars
|
|
DE, Quinton Coples, 6'6'' 272, UNC
|
OT, Riley Reiff, 6'6'' 280
|
| |
The jags need everything except a RB, The D-line is not a
bad place to start.
|
Good OT played in the physical big 10,
Gabbert struggled in his first season this
could definetly help.
|
8.
|
Miami Dolphins
|
|
QB, Ryan Tannehill, 6'4'' 216, Texas A&M
|
RB, Trent Richardson,5'11'' 220
|
| |
They need a QB bad if they don't get Flynn they need to
get a QB of the future.
|
Best RB in the draft, Bush was amazing at
the end of the season, but with Richardson
Bush can move to 3rd down back and slot.
|
9.
|
Carolina Panthers
|
|
DT, Dontari Poe, 6'5'' 350, Memphis
|
OLB, Melvin Ingram, 6'2'' 264
|
| |
350 pounds ran a 4.86 at the combine, need I say more.
|
Good pass rusher, the Panthers could
score but had trouble stopping teams from
scoring.
|
10.
|
Buffalo Bills
|
|
OT, Jonathan Martin, 6'6'' 287, Stanford
|
OT, Jonathan Martin, 6'6'' 287
|
| |
Picking a OT will fill a team need.
|
Bills need a Left Tackle after acquiring
Mario Williams as their needed pass rusher.
Martin is ranked 3rd at his position.
|
11.
|
Kansas City Chiefs
|
|
OT, Riley Reiff, 6'6'' 280, Iowa
|
QB, Ryan Tannehill, 6'4'' 216
|
| |
You can never have enough good O-Linemen.
|
Chiefs Definetly need a QB, since Manning
turned them down and Flynn looks to be a
Dolphin, it's a must need pick.
|
12.
|
Seattle Seahawks
|
|
ILB, Luke Kuechly, 6'3'' 225, BC
|
OG, David Decastro, 6'5'' 310
|
| |
Many needs, they take the best player available.
|
The Seahawks need a OG after releasing
Gallery. I think they need a QB, but no
value QBs left so this is logical.
|
13.
|
Arizona Cardinals
|
|
OLB, Courtney Upshaw, 6'2'' 262, Bama
|
CB, Dre Kirkpatrick, 6'3'' 190
|
| |
They try to help the defense by drafting a Monster who will
provide pressure on QBs.
|
This is a great pick for the Cardinals you
add him to Patrick Peterson and the
Cardinals have a good secondary,
Kirkpatrick might be a future pro bowler.
|
14.
|
Dallas Cowboys
|
|
OG, David DeCastro, 6'5'' 310, Stanford
|
DE, Quinton Coples, 6'6'' 272
|
| |
Somebody has to protect Tony Romo
|
A solid player in that troubled UNC program.
Has the size but experts question hi speed.
Cowboys look to add to Demarcus Ware's
presence. If he last this long on the board.
|
15.
|
Philadelphia Eagles
|
|
OLB, Melvin Ingram, 6'2'' 264, South Car.
|
DT, Dontari Poe, 6'5'' 350
|
| |
OLB/DE Hybrid could fit their Defense well.
|
The Eagles need to stop the run and this
guy would help immediately. 350 pounds
and ran a 4.8 40. A freak at his position this
could be a steal.
|
16.
|
New York Jets
|
|
WR, Michael Floyd, 6'3'' 220, Notre Dame
|
ILB, Luke Kuechly, 6'3'' 225
|
| |
Sanchez gets another WR to argue with.
|
A LB who can fill Bart Scott's role. 6'3'' 225,
smart and a great tackler. The Jets defense
has become secondary only.
|
17.
|
Cincinnati Bengals
|
|
CB, Dre' Kirkpatrick, 6'3'' 190, Bama
|
CB, Janoris Jenkins, 5'11'' 186
|
| |
Big corner, would be steal at this pick.
|
A top CB that comes from a small school.
He is very talented and might move up
because of Kirkpatrick's off the field
questions.
|
18.
|
San Diego Chargers
|
|
DE, Nick Perry, 6'3'' 250, USC
|
OLB,Courtney Upshaw,6'2'' 262
|
| |
The Chargers need another Pass Rusher
|
Another Bama product, a good player
whose potential is good and can rush the
passer, which is a high priority for a team
whose sack leader had 4 total sacks.
|
19.
|
Chicago Bears
|
|
OG, Cordy Glenn, 6'5'' 330, Georgia
|
OG, Cordy Glenn, 6'5'' 300
|
| |
If the Bears don't get better O-Linemen Jay Cutler won't
make it through the season again.
|
A smart pick for a team that has everything
now, The Bears need to protect Cutler who
sat out alot of last season. Mike Tice likes
these types of lineman.
|
20.
|
Tennessee Titans
|
|
DE, Whitney Mercilus, 6'4'' 265, Illinois
|
WR, Stephen Hill, 6'5'' 206
|
| |
The Titans take the best DE left on the board.
|
Definetly a good WR, maybe better than
some scouts have graded him. Hes 6'5'' and
ran a 4.3 40 at the combine. If Manning
signs this pick will go with Kenny Britt.
|
21.
|
Cincinnati Bengals
|
|
RB, Lamar Miller, 5'11'' 210, Miami
|
RB, Lamar Miller, 5'11'' 210
|
| |
Strong runner with speed, will take Benson's place as the
top RB if they don't sign a FA.
|
A dominate RB from the U. Doug Martin may
be a better choice, but the Bengals aren't
going to pass on his pedigree.
|
22.
|
Cleveland Browns
|
|
WR, Alshon Jeffery, 6'3'' 234, South Car.
|
DE, Vinny Curry, 6'4'' 252
|
| |
They need WRs bad, He will help.
|
Very talented the Browns need a pass
rusher since they take Blackmon early. The
local Marshall product could be a fan
favorite.
|
23.
|
Detroit Lions
|
|
CB, Stephon Gilmore, 6'1'' 188, South Ca.
|
CB, Stephon Gilmore, 6'1'' 188
|
| |
Great athlete will fill a team need.
|
He is a big DB who can take on physical
receivers, The Lions need DBs to go with
their dominant front line. The Lions will soon
be a top 5 team.
|
24.
|
Pittsburgh Steelers
|
|
ILB, Dont'a Hightower, 6'4'' 250, Bama
|
OT, Mike Adams, 6'8'' 300
|
| |
Their LBs are receiving senior discounts, They need some
new blood at LB.
|
A big Lineman from OSU. He's strong and can play,
experts say he lacks effort at times.
|
25.
|
Denver Broncos
|
|
S, Mark Barron, 6'2'' 210, Bama
|
WR, Kendall Wright, 5'10'' 196
|
| |
Brian Dawkins can't play forever so the Broncos take the
best Safety in the draft.
|
The Broncos need receivers after losing Eddie
Royal their only decent WR.
|
26.
|
Houston Texans
|
|
WR, Stephen Hill, 6'5'' 206, Georgia Tech
|
DE, Nick Perry, 6'3'' 250
|
| |
The Texans finally get a weapon opposite Andre Johnson.
|
A DE makes sense here, He is the best one left.
|
27.
|
New England Patriots
|
|
DT, Michael Brockers, 6'6'' 300, LSU
|
DT, Michael Brockers, 6'6'' 300
|
| |
Their D-Line sucked last year, This big Man can help
change that.
|
Brockers upside has scouts interested, Belicheck
is a genius, don't worry their pick will work out.
|
28.
|
Green Bay Packers
|
|
OL, Peter Konz, 6'5'' 315, Wisconsin
|
DE, Whitney Mercilus, 6'4'' 265
|
| |
They might lose some O-Linemen to Free Agency so they
will need replacements.
|
His speed rush is needed in Green Bay. Can also
play OLB.
|
29.
|
Baltimore Ravens
|
|
ILB, Vontaze Burfict, 6'3'' 245, ASU
|
ILB, Dont'a Hightower,6'4'' 250
|
| |
He could learn from Ray Lewis and then replace him, He
plays Angry.
|
Does not have great speed but should adjust well
wherever the Ravens put him.
|
30.

|
|
CB, Janoris Jenkins, 5'11'' 186, North Ala.
|
TE, Coby Fleener, 6'6'' 250

OT, Mike Adams, 6'8'' 300, The OSU
|
RB, Doug Martin, 5'9'' 210
|
| |
You can never have enough good O-Linemen, Plus I had to
get at least one Buckeye on here.
|
Boise State Product. The Giants need a RB after
losing Jacobs. They would love Fleener here.
|
