- Kansas City Chiefs
Offensive Tackle Eric Fisher from Central Michigan
Pick Grade: A
Comments: I’m really surprised they took Fisher over Joeckel, but I get it. Look for Brandon Albert to be traded very soon. - Jacksonville Jaguars
Offensive Tackle Luke Joeckel from Texas A&M
Pick Grade: B
Comments: The only reason that I don’t give this pick an A is that Eugene Monroe is still a good Left Tackle, so the pick addresses a redundant position, especially with the Jaguars needing talent everywhere. - Miami Dolphins
Outside Linebacker Dion Jordan from Oregon
Pick Grade: B
Comments: The pass rush is going to be sick with Cameron Wake and Jordan lining up at OLB. Good pick. The reason its not an A grade is because there were bigger needs they needed. - Philadelphia Eagles
Offensive Tackle Lane Johnson from Oklahoma
Pick Grade: B
Comments: The Eagles have needed a left tackle for several years, especially since Jason Peters cannot stay healthy. Good pick but probably a slight reach. - Detroit Lions
Defensive End Ezekiel Ansah from BYU
Pick Grade: C
Comments: Don’t like it because the stats aren’t there to support his high praise. Good athlete, but the Lions have a poor track record with developmental picks, which Ansah is. - Cleveland Browns
Outside Linebacker Barkevious Mingo from LSU
Pick Grade: A
Comments: Great fit and great value. - Arizona Cardinals
Offensive Guard Jonathan Cooper from North Carolina
Pick Grade: A
Comments: The Cardinals found their tackles last season and now its time to find their guards. Cooper is super athletic and is a great fit in Arizona. - St. Louis Rams
Wide Receiver Tavon Austin from West Virginia
Pick Grade: B
Comments: They gave up a lot to move up, but it gives Sam Bradford a great weapon. Not an A because of what they traded to get him. - New York Jets
Cornerback Dee Milliner from Alabama
Pick Grade: A
Comments: Traded Revis, and then replaced him for 15 million dollars less a season. Smart selection for the Jets. - Tennessee Titans
Offensive Guard Chance Warmack from Alabama
Pick Grade: A
Comments: Power blocking offensive guard that will help open up holes for CJ2K. Will be a great fit for many years to come. - San Diego Chargers
Offensive Tackle D.J. Fluker from Alabama
Pick Grade: B
Comments: Bit of a reach, but fits a huge need for the Chargers. Fluker has the highest ceiling of all the Tackles, but also has the deepest floor. - Oakland Raiders
Cornerback D.J. Hayden from Houston
Pick Grade: D
Comments: Major reach with a concerning injury history. Another classic bonehead Raiders Pick. - New York Jets
Defensive Tackle Sheldon Richardson from Missouri
Pick Grade: C
Comments: Really question the need, as they have now drafted a defensive lineman for three straight drafts in the first round. (M. Wilkerson in 2011 and Q. Coples in 2012) - Carolina Panthers
Defensive Tackle Star Lotulelei from Utah
Pick Grade: A
Comments: Early in the draft process he was considered the best prospect. Steal for the Panthers this late and fills a huge need. - New Orleans Saints
Free Safety Kenny Vaccaro from Texas
Pick Grade: A
Comments: Perfect scheme fit and a great value. - Buffalo Bills
Quarterback E.J. Manuel from Florida State
Pick Grade: D
Comments: I don’t see anything that says that Manuel can be a successful starter in the league. I guess Buffalo likes losing games. - Pittsburgh Steelers
Outside Linebacker Jarvis Jones from Georgia
Pick Grade: A
Comments: Perfect Scheme fit and a great value. - San Francisco 49ers
Free Safety Eric Reid from LSU
Pick Grade: B
Comments: I like the fit, but I think they gave up way too much to move up in the draft to pick a safety, especially with how many talented ones there are. Nothing against Reid, but he wasn’t worth moving up 12 spots for. - New York Giants
Offensive Lineman Justin Pugh from Syracuse
Pick Grade: B
Comments: Good fit in New York, but I don’t think he will be a good tackle because of his T-Rex arms. If they plan on using him at Guard, it will work out very well. - Chicago Bears
Offensive Lineman Kyle Long from Oregon
Pick Grade: F
Comments: Dumb. Just Dumb. So many bigger needs that could have been addressed. - Cincinnati Bengals
Tight End Tyler Eifert from Notre Dame
Pick Grade: C
Comments: Good value at pick 21 but isn’t a good fit on the team. The Bengals already have Jermaine Gresham who has an identical skill set. - Atlanta Falcons
Cornerback Desmond Trufant from Washington
Pick Grade: A
Comments: Really smart pick, especially with his production and combine work. Will be a day one contributor for the dirty birds. - Minnesota Vikings
Defensive Tackle Sharrif Floyd from Florida
Pick Grade: A
Comment: How the mighty have fallen. The Vikings get a steal here, as most pundits had him going anywhere from 10 to 20 picks sooner. - Indianapolis Colts
Outside Linebacker Bjoern Werner from Florida State
Pick Grade: C
Comment: Good value, but doesn’t fit the scheme for the Colts, unless they haven’t told anyone that they are moving back to a 4-3. - St. Louis Rams
Cornerback Xavier Rhodes from Florida State
Pick Grade: B
Comments: I think he’s going to play safety for the Rams. They already are set at corner, but have a huge need at safety. He has the frame to be successful there. - Green Bay Packers
Defensive End Datone Jones from UCLA
Pick Grade: B
Comments: Great scheme fit, but did they really need to take a DE there? - Houston Texans
Wide Receiver DeAndre Hopkins from Clemson
Pick Grade: B
Comments: Filled the biggest need, but there were better receivers still on the board. - Denver Broncos
Defensive Tackle Sylvester Williams from North Carolina
Pick Grade: B
Comments: Good Fit, but I’m not as high on him as everyone else is. All the recent UNC DT’s haven’t lived up to the hype, and I don’t think he will either. - Minnesota Vikings
Wide Receiver Cordarrelle Patterson from Tennessee
Pick Grade: B
Comments: They mortgaged the farm to trade back up, but they fill a big need. They just don’t pick again till day 3. - St. Louis Rams
Outside Linebacker Alec Ogletree from Georgia
Pick Grade: B
Comments: As long as they are going to play him at OLB, he will fit right in next to James Lauranaitis. - Dallas Cowboys
Offensive Lineman Travis Frederick from Wisconsin
Pick Grade: C
Comments: Huge stretch, but still fits a big need. Will play guard for the Boys, but still was a late day two pick at best. - Baltimore Ravens
Safety Matt Elam from Florida
Pick Grade: A
Comments: I love Matt Elam and the Ravens really needed a safety. Great player and great value.
