-
Smith has his flaws, but Andy Reid once drafted Donovan McNabb and developed him into a franchise-caliber quarterback.
-
The Jaguars' anemic pass rush only produced 20 sacks in 2012. Moore finished the season with 12.5 sacks and 21 tackles for loss.
-
Jones' speed and dynamic rush skills certainly will upgrade a Raiders pass rush that generated just 25 sacks in 2012.
-
It is time for the Eagles to address their offensive-line woes by selecting the top offensive lineman in the draft.
-
Jim Schwartz has openly discussed scrapping the Lions' wide-nine scheme, but that won't prevent Detroit from taking an athletic pass rusher early in the draft.
-
The Browns need to find a complementary corner for Joe Haden to solidify a promising defense. Milliner is a technically sound cover man with great ball skills and instincts.
-
A lot has been made of Barkley's physical deficiencies (height, arm talent and athleticism), but few quarterbacks in this year's class can match his experience and knowledge directing a pro-style offense.
-
Bills GM Buddy Nix wants to find a franchise quarterback in this year's draft. Glennon is not the perfect prospect, but he is a gifted pocket passer with A-plus arm talent.
-
Rex Ryan needs a dominant edge rusher to key his blitz-heavy scheme. Mingo is raw, but natural athleticism could make him a disruptive force early in his career.
-
Mike Munchak can appreciate a big, athletic interior blocker with the strength to move defenders off the ball.
-
Fixing the offensive line should be the top priority in San Diego. Cooper is a rugged blocker with size, strength and power.
-
Quarterback Ryan Tannehill performed well as a rookie starter without supreme talent on the perimeter. Allen is an ideal No. 1 receiver with a polished game that is suited for the pros.
-
Greg Schiano needs a long, rangy corner with press cover skills to take his defense to the next level.
-
It's time for the Panthers to give Cam Newton a young, explosive playmaker to feature in the passing game.
-
Montgomery isn't a polished pass rusher, but his relentless motor produces sacks off the edge.
-
Fisher is one of the hottest prospects in the draft, based on his intriguing talent and potential. He displays the footwork and athleticism to develop into a franchise-caliber left tackle.
-
Elam boasts the athleticism, tenacity and toughness to eventually replace Troy Polamalu as the designated playmaker in the secondary.
-
Monte Kiffin needs an athletic defensive tackle capable of playing the one or three technique to implement his vaunted Tampa 2 scheme in Dallas.
-
The G-Men need to find an immediate replacement for David Diehl at right tackle. Fluker could slide into his natural position as a potential first-year starter in New York.
-
The Bears could groom Te'o to eventually succeed Brian Urlacher in the middle or just hand him the keys to the defense in his first year.
-
Marvin Lewis could elect to add more firepower to a defensive line that overwhelms opponents with speed and athleticism.
-
The Rams' defense could use a versatile safety to handle the tight ends and slot receivers that thrive in the NFC West.
-
Adding a wide receiver is certainly a priority in this draft, but Richardson is a high-motor defensive tackle with the athleticism to replace an aging Kevin Williams in the middle.
-
Chuck Pagano could continue making over the Colts' defense by adding a stud nose tackle in the middle.
-
Pete Carroll and John Schneider have made a living gambling on dynamic athletes in the draft. Ansah has limited football experience, but his game is eerily similar to Jason Pierre-Paul's when he was coming out of college.
-
The Packers need to add speed and athleticism to their linebacker corps. Ogletree is an explosive sideline-to-sideline defender with tremendous burst.
-
The Texans need to add more playmakers to a passing game that is overly reliant on Andre Johnson and Owen Daniels.
-
John Fox has quickly remade the Broncos' defense in his first two seasons on the job, but a talented interior defender would create more one-on-one opportunities for Von Miller and Elvis Dumervil.
-
Austin could be the versatile receiver who eventually replaces Wes Welker as the key playmaker in the slot.
-
Thomas Dimitroff must find an immediate replacement for Tony Gonzalez. Ertz is a big-bodied pass catcher with great hands and ball skills.
-
Williams is a powerful interior defender with the capacity to man the point as the nose tackle in the 49ers' 3-4 front.
-
With Ray Lewis riding off into the sunset, the Ravens could opt for a tackling machine to fill the void in the middle.
