Due to a major presentation I need to give Wednesday, I don't think I'll be able to do a seven-rounder this year. However, it would be downright selfish of me not to drop a little wisdom on the crowd (tongue in cheek). I really tried to get more trades in, since it always happens that way. However the way the draft fell, and the current trends in the NFL, and the depth of this draft conspired against it to some degree. Anyway:
1. Rams - Sam Bradford QB Oklahoma. Unless they get a notion he'll be impossible to sign, it's already a done deal.
2. Lions - Ndamakong Suh DT Nebraska.
3. Bucs - Gerald McCoy DT Oklahoma.
4. Redskins - Russell Okung OT Oklahoma St. Living in Redskinland, I know that they're high on Colt Brennan as a developmental guy, and I know that they don't have a body on the roster who can play left tackle.
5. Chiefs - Trent Williams OT Oklahoma. If you're keeping score, that's 4 out of 5 players from the Sooner state. WTF?
6. Seahawks - Derrick Morgan DE Georgia Tech.
7. Browns - Eric Berry S Tennessee.
8. Raiders - Bruce Campbell OT Maryland.
9. Bills - Bryan Bulaga OT Iowa. For the record, I think he's going to be as big a bust as his fellow Hawkeye Robert Gallery. No lateral movement, Tyrannosaurus-armed. He'll be a mediocre guard in a year.
10. Jaguars - Joe Haden CB Florida. I think the Jags will shop this pick, but unless anybody really wants McClain, I don't think there's any takers.
11. Broncos - Rolando McClain LB Alabama. To me, the easiest projection of the draft.
12. Dolphins - Dan Williams DL Tennessee.
13. 49ers - Anthony Davis OT Rutgers. Not buying the Clausen angle.
14. Seahawks - Dez Bryant WR Oklahoma St. Seattle has been in on every veteran free agent WR this offseason. Pete Carroll is stoked.
15. Giants - Sean Weatherspoon LB Missouri. I think the G-men would love to trade down a few slots and take Spoon, but again, I don't see a trade up right now. Not even for Clausen.
16. Titans - Kyle Wilson CB Boise St.
17. 49ers - Taylor Mays S USC. Seems like a Singletary guy.
18. Steelers - Sergio Kindle LB Texas.
19. Falcons - Brandon Graham DE Michigan. San Diego could trade up here for Matthews, but I'm not sure if they see this coming....
20. Texans - Ryan Matthews RB Fresno St.
21. Bengals - Jermaine Gresham TE Oklahoma.
22. Patriots - And who else for the first trade of the draft? New England trades #22 to Detroit for #34 & #66. The Lions select CJ Spiller RB Clemson.
23. Packers - Charlie Brown OT USC.
24. Eagles - Earl Thomas S Texas.
25. Ravens - Jared Odrick DL Penn St.
26. Cardinals - Jason Pierre-Paul LB South Florida.
27. Cowboys - Maurkice Pouncey C Florida.
28. Chargers - TRADE. San Diego trades #28 and their fourth round pick to Cleveland for #38 and their third round pick. The Browns select Jimmy Clausen QB Notre Dame.
29. Jets - Mike Iupate G Idaho.
30. Vikings - Rodger Safford OT Indiana.
31. Colts - Bryan Price DT UCLA.
32. Saints - Everson Griffin DE USC.
33. Rams - Devin McCourty S Rutgers.
34. Patriots - Jerry Hughes LB TCU.
35. Bucs - Carlos Dunlap DE Florida.
36. Chiefs - Terrence Cody NT Alabama.
37. Eagles - TRADE. Philadelphia trades #37 and #55 to New England for #45, #47, and a 7th round pick. The Patriots select Golden Tate WR Notre Dame.
38. Chargers - Cam Thomas NT North Carolina.
39. Raiders - Brandon Spikes LB Florida.
40. Chargers - Jonathan Dwyer RB Georgia Tech.
41. Bills - Lamarr Houston DE Texas.
42. Bucs - Demaryius Thomas WR Georgia Tech.
43. Broncos - Arrelious Benn WR Illinois.
44. Eagles - Patrick Robinson CB Florida St.
45. Broncos - Ricky Sapp LB Clemson.
46. Giants - Tyson Alualu DL Cal.
47. Eagles - Alex Carrington DE Arkansas St.
48. Panthers - Brandon Lafell WR LSU.
49. 49ers - Nate Allen S South Florida.
50. Chiefs - TRADE. Kansas City trades #50 to the Jets for #61 and a 4th round pick. The Jets select Navarro Bowman LB Penn St.
51. Texans - Kareem Jackson CB Alabama.
52. Steelers - Vlad Ducasse OL Massachusetts.
53. Patriots - Arthur Jones DE Syracuse.
54. Bengals - Daryl Washington LB TCU.
55. Patriots - Dexter McCluster RB/WR Mississippi. For the record, I wouldn't choose McCluster here, but I have a strong feeling BB would. Strong.
56. Packers - Jahvid Best RB Cal.
57. Ravens - Rob Gronkowski TE Arizona.
58. Cardinals - Sean Lee LB Penn St.
59. Cowboys - Jared Veldheer OT Hillsdale.
60. Seahawks - Montario Hardesty RB Tennessee.
61. Chiefs - Morgan Burnett S Georgia Tech.
62. Vikings - Colt McCoy QB Texas.
63. Colts - Chad Jones S LSU.
64. Saints - Eric Norwood LB South Carolina.
65. Rams - Damian Williams WR USC.

70. Eagles - Koa Misi LB Utah.
71. Chargers - Jamar Chaney LB Mississippi St.
72. Bills - Linval Joseph NT East Carolina.
73. Dolphins - Major Wright S Florida.
74. Jaguars - Tim Tebow QB Florida.
75. Bears - Jon Asamoah G Illinois.

84. Bengals - Rashad Jones S Georgia.
85. Browns - Jason Worilds LB Virginia Tech.
86. Packers - Greg Hardy LB Mississippi.
87. Eagles - Daniel Te'o-Nesheim DE Washington. From back in the day when I used to read Easterbrook, Nesheim translates to "Eagles" in Hebrew. Which means this has to happen. Maybe somebody of the Tribe can verify for me.
88. Cardinals - Torrell Troup NT Central Florida.
89. Cardinals - Chris Cook CB Virginia.
90. Cowboys - Mardy Gilyard WR Cincinnati.
91. Chargers - Roddrick Muckelroy LB Texas.
