1. Pick No.

   1

   

   Luke Joeckel

   OT

   Texas A&M
   Joeckel will play 10 years and he fills an obvious need; you replace Branden Albert with this Texas A&M product, and you become a better football team.
2. Pick No.

   2

   

   Bjoern Werner

   DE

   Florida St.
   Boy, they need a pass rusher. (In fact, they might need three pass rushers.) They have some guys on the bench, but they need a No. 1 stud. This guy can rush the passer.
3. Pick No.

   3

   

   Sharrif Floyd

   DT

   Florida
   Here's your next Richard Seymour. Floyd is my favorite player in the draft. He has it all: size, strength and explosion.
4. Pick No.

   4

   

   Star Lotulelei

   DT

   Utah
   You go to the 3-4 defense, you need a nose tackle.
5. Pick No.

   5

   

   Dee Milliner

   CB

   Alabama
   When your general manager (Martin Mayhew) is the best cornerback in the building, what do you do? You draft a cornerback! Milliner's the best CB in this draft.
6. Pick No.

   6

   

   Jarvis Jones

   OLB

   Georgia
   You're going from the 4-3 to the 3-4, you have Jabaal Sheard at one outside linebacker, but you need a second. How about Jarvis Jones (if he passes his physical)?
7. Pick No.

   7

   

   Eric Fisher

   OT

   Central Michigan
   I'm going to put Levi Brown back at right tackle, where he belongs, and draft Fisher. All of a sudden, the Cardinals can protect the quarterback. (They don't have one, but they sure could protect one.)
8. Pick No.

   8

   

   Cordarrelle Patterson

   WR

   Tennessee
   Patterson becomes the No. 1 receiver in Buffalo, and Stevie Johnson moves to the slot -- all of a sudden, the Bills have a passing attack. (Though they still need a quarterback ...)
9. Pick No.

   9

   

   Damontre Moore

   DE

   Texas A&M
   The Jets don't have an outside linebacker who started last year on the roster. I'm going to give them Moore, a guy I like more standing up as a pass rusher.
10. Pick No.

    10

    

    Barkevious Mingo

    DE

    LSU
    The Titans need a pass rusher, so I'll give them the best one available.
