Short explanations for top 10 picks.

Panthers 1. Cam Newton
Carolina thought they got extremely lucky when Jimmy Clausen, a projected 1st round pick, fell to them in the second. It turns out that they were actually unlucky, because soon after they found out they wasted a 2nd round pick. They ended up taking Tony Pike, who did nothing, and taking fan favorite Armanti Edwards,who was QB but was moved to receiver. After all these disappointing picks it would make sense to taking Heisman winning QB Cam Newton out of national title winning Auburn Tigers.

Broncos 2. Marcell Dareus
Denver struggled at the defensive line last year. They have some of the best LB’s in the league (Williams, Dumeral) but it still isn’t enough. They have everything at defense besides a good defensive line, which is why Dareus would be a smart and safe pick here.

Bills 3. Von Miller
Miller’s draft stock has been going up in bunches over the last month, and theres a good reason why. He’s the best linebacker in this years draft, and after wasting first round pick on Aaron Maybin, the Bills need to improve on their defense, so this would be a great pick.

Bengals 4. AJ Green
With Palmer and T O most likely gone, and Ochocinco going to play soccer, the Bengals need to improve their defense. AJ Green would be a smart pick here after losing two elite WR’s. Green would match up nicely with Shipley and Caldwell, the most likely new starting receivers in the Bengals offense.

Cardinals 5. Blaine Gabbert
What can we say about the Cardinals QB situation? You got Derek Anderson, who likes to throw to picks, Max Hall, where his only highlight was beating the Saints (where they didn’t even have an offensive TD) and John Skelton, who is the only one that showed he might have some skill. But Skelton isn’t enough, the Cardinals need a QB, and the best available is Missouri QB Blaine Gabbert.

Browns 6. Nick Fairley
The Browns need another defensive linemen, after releasing trouble maker Shaun Rodgers. The Browns have Rubin, or led all defensive linemen with 80 tackles. But it isn’t enough. Fairley was thought to be the first pick after saying he was coming in the draft, but his stick went down. This is a boom or bust pick right here for Cleveland.

49ers 7. Patrick Peterson
The best player in the draft could sure help out this struggling San Fransisco defense. The 49ers need another defensive star to line up with Willis, and Peterson is sure to do that. This is by far the safest pick in the draft and would be a smart one for San Fran.

Titans 8. Prince Amukamara
The Titans would love for Prince to lineup with Finnegan in the secondary. They are in need of another CB, and with Peterson gone, this would be their best choice.

Dallas 9. Tyron Smith
Jerry Jones usually doesn’t take offensive linemen, but after seeing this big guys highlights at USC, I think he’ll come around.

Redskins 10. Mark Ingram
The Redskins need to improve at RB sense Portis lost his touch and Torain is their best RB after that, taking this former Heisman winner wouldn’t be a bad idea.

Texans 11. Robert Quinn

Vikings 12. Brandon Harris

Lions 13. Nate Solder

Rams 14. Julio Jones

Miami 15. Da’quan Bowers

Jaguars 16. Aldon Smith

Patriots 17. J.J Watt

Chargers 18. Ryan Kerrigan

Giants 19. Akeem Ayers

Buccaneers 20. Adrian Claybourn

Chiefs 21. Gabe Carimi

Colts 22. Mike Pouncey

Eagles 23. Antony Castonzo

Saints 24. Muhammad Wilkerson

Seahawks 25. Derek Sherrod

Ravens 26. Torrey Smith

Falcons 27. Aaron Williams

Patriots 28. Mikel Lesoure

Bears 29. Cameron Jordan

Jets 30. Stephen Paea

Steelers 31. Ryan Williams

Packers 32. Cameron Heyward

I think Jordan is gonna fall, I just feel like his stock is gonna fall. My first mock draft, tell me what you think.
