1. Miami Dolphins - Chris Long (Defensive End, Virginia)
This was a toss up for me being as though, post Combine, there are three viable number one pick options for Miami. Darren McFadden, Glenn Dorsey, and Chris Long. Ronnie Brown is the franchise back, so no on McFadden. Miami is going to run a 3-4 scheme under Parcells reign, and I don't know how well Dorsey would adapt (or his injury issue), even though he is a monster, do you take a risk? So by process of elimination, my choice for the Fins is Long. Long dominated the DE in a 3-4 with Virginia, and I feel he would be a good start to rebuilding a once proud defense.
2. St. Louis Rams - Jake Long (Offensive Tackle, Michigan)
To me, this is a no brainer. I really feel like Jake Long is the second coming of Steve Hutchinson. Funny their both from Michigan. They do need some help on the defensive line, being as though their run defense was 20th in the league...but you have to take Jake here. Bulger was beaten up last year due to lack of protection, and Stephen Jackson could always use another big body to run behind and Orlando Pace is starting to show his age and after last years performance...it's an easy pick.
3. Atlanta Falcons - Matt Ryan (Quarterback, Boston College)
This was another toss up for me, I could see the Falcons snagging McFadden, especially giving them a one-two punch of McFadden and the recently acquired Michael Turner, but after losing Vick and Schaub, and the perpetual bust that Joey Harrington has become, Falcons really do have to go with Ryan. Ryan is the top QB in poor QB draft class and the Falcons need someone who can get the ball down field. He's probably not the next coming of Manning, Favre, or Brady, but he should be a consistent QB in the league, and good building block for the Birds.
4. Oakland Raiders - Darren McFadden (Running Back, Arkansas)
With Warren Sapp retiring, defensive tackle is more of a pressing issue for Oakland, and with Dorsey and Sedrick Ellis still on the board of my draft, either guy would be a good pick for them, but then again it's Al Davis. Davis definitely missed his opportunity last year passing on Peterson, and the even though they re-signed Justin Fargas, the pick is for Al is McFadden. Just the type of playmaking athlete Davis wants. A backfield that has Russell and McFadden, coupled with newly acquired Javon Walker is a great start to a potent offense.
5. Kansas City Chiefs - Glenn Dorsey (Defensive Tackle, LSU)
KC really needs to get themselves an offensive tackle, but in my draft, Dorsey has fallen far enough to where the Chiefs have to take him. His talent and value is too good not too. He would definitely be a complement in between Tamba Hali and Jared Allen on the ends. The Chiefs defensive line has been horrible for awhile, and retirements have also hindered the progress of building it to be a force. Dorsey would be a solid run stopper.
