No.	Team	Player	Pos	School	Notes
1	New England Patriots (from CAR)	Ryan Williams	RB	Virginia Tech	Will need young WR talent in the near future
2	Buffalo Bills	Brooks Reed	OLB/DE	Arizona	Could opt for DL help; hard to count on Shawne Merriman; edge rusher it is
3	Cincinnati Bengals	Brandon Harris	CB	Miami (Fla.)	Need CB help with Leon Hall up after this year and Johnathan Joseph a potential UFA
4	Denver Broncos	Stephen Paea	DT	Oregon State	Moving back to 4-3 means more beef up front is necessary
5	Cleveland Browns	Phil Taylor	DT	Baylor	A better fit for a 3-4 NT, but CLE needs to address the interior of their DL with a wide-body
6	Arizona Cardinals	Danny Watkins	OG	Baylor	Too many question marks and potential FAs along the line
7	Tennessee Titans	Ryan Mallett	QB	Arkansas	Missed out on a first-round QB; OC Chris Palmer molded the similar Drew Bledsoe
8	Dallas Cowboys	Rahim Moore	FS	UCLA	Still need an OT and DE; a decent short-term FA market may be the answer
9	Washington Redskins	Mike Pouncey	OG/C	Florida	Need to upgrade the interior of their line; could play OG until Casey Rabach retires
10	Houston Texans	Brandon Burton	CB	Utah	Too many holes in the secondary; intelligent player with mild upside
11	Minnesota Vikings	Christian Ponder	QB	Florida State	Fits perfectly in their modified WCO
12	Detroit Lions	Curtis Brown	CB	Texas	Passed on Round 1 CB; Brown best remaining CB with least question marks
13	San Francisco 49ers	Ras-I Dowling	CB	Virginia	Size and speed combination; SF desperately needs a cornerback
14	Denver Broncos (from MIA)	Mikel LeShoure	RB	Illinois	John Fox loves a two-back set and LeShoure would pair well with Knowshon Moreno
15	St. Louis Rams	Randall Cobb	WR	Kentucky	Cobb is the type of receiver that will excel in this new offensive system
16	Oakland Raiders	Colin Kaepernick	QB	Nevada	QB of the future; can be groomed behind Jason Campbell for a year
17	Jacksonville Jaguars	Leonard Hankerson	WR	Miami (Fla.)	Doesn't sound like Mike Sims-Walker will return - need young talent
18	San Diego Chargers	Martez Wilson	ILB	Illinois	Need both inside and outside LBs, but they can't afford to pass on Wilson if he falls this far
19	Tampa Bay Buccaneers	Bruce Carter	OLB	North Carolina	Quincy Black is a FA and seems likely to leave
20	New York Giants	Greg Jones II	MLB	Michigan State	The Giants need to address the position sooner or later
21	Indianapolis Colts	Benjamin Ijalana	OG/OT	Villanova	Versatile blocker to help protect their Peyton Manning investment
22	Philadelphia Eagles	DeAndre McDaniel	SS	Clemson	Could replace Quintin Mikell if a deal isn't reached
23	Kansas City Chiefs	Stefen Wisniewski	C	Penn State	Young, talented center is a must for this OL
24	New Orleans Saints	Mark Herzlich	OLB	Boston College	Inspirational player going to an inspirational city; oh, and they really need him, too
25	Seattle Seahawks	Kenrick Ellis	DT	Hampton	Have to address the interior of the defensive line
26	Baltimore Ravens	Daniel Thomas	RB	Kansas State	Need a power back to replace Willis McGahee and Le'Ron McClain
27	Atlanta Falcons	Kyle Rudolph	TE	Notre Dame	Tony Gonzalez's replacement
28	New England Patriots	Allen Bailey	DE	Miami (Fla.)	3-4 DE to work into the rotation
29	San Diego Chargers (from NYJ)	Jon Baldwin	WR	Pittsburgh	Long-term replacement for Vincent Jackson? Insurance in case Malcom Floyd walks
30	Chicago Bears	Marvin Austin	DT	North Carolina	Helps replace Tommie Harris; could be a beast next to Julius Peppers
31	Pittsburgh Steelers	Rodney Hudson	OG	Florida State	Need interior help in a big way
32	Green Bay Packers	Titus Young	WR	Boise State	James Jones may not return, Donald Driver is ancient; need to groom someone for 2012
