| PICK | TEAM | PLAYER | ANALYSIS |
| 1.01 |  | WR Dez Bryant | I know people keep saying that Jacksonville is going to pull the trigger on Sam Bradford, but I think that's how you quickly lose your team while you're on the hot seat. Dez Bryant is going to go high and I feel like first overall is where he lands. |
| 1.02 |  | MLB Pat Angerer | Cincinnati has a big hole in the middle of their defense and Angerer is a stud of a linebacker that should instantly make an impact. He's the type of player GM Brady Tinnin is going to want to bring in to start the resurgence in Cincinnati. |
| 1.03 |  | WR Brandon LaFell | This could be a smoke screen. Why would the Cowboys trade Andre Johnson for another wide receiver at 3rd overall? Well, that's what is happening in this mock draft and it doesn't have to make sense. LaFell is off the board and will duo with Braylon Edwards. |
| 1.04 |  | LE Carlos Dunlap | Atlanta made a huge deal with in-division rival Tampa Bay in order to move up to this spot. It's likely a BPA scenario, but with a huge gap at left end, Carlos Dunlap has to be a player of interest. He's a good player and a mammoth of a man. |
| 1.05 |  | CB Jerome Murphy | The week one injury to Mark Sanchez hurt Indianapolis in ways we will never understand. However, it means they get to add more to their secondary here and they take Jerome Murphy who looks like he will be a decent cornerback. |
| 1.06 |  | FS Nate Allen | There's no telling which direction GM Leonard Jones will go with this pick, but Nate Allen would be a solid safety selection at this point and would add a physical, speedy threat to a secondary that is going to need it in the coming seasons. |
| 1.07 | | CB Akasi Owusu-Ansah | My gut tells me Cincinnati is going to shore up their defense in this draft. They've already selected middle linebacker Pat Angerer, so now they add a future #1 cornerback. Akasi Owusu-Ansah has good frame and solid size. |
| 1.08 |  | LE Jason Worilds | New Orleans wants to buff up their defensive line. I assume they are hoping that Carlos Dunlap drops to them, but Worilds is a good secondary option. The main question is whether Worilds will play at left end or right end for them. |
| 1.09 |  | LOLB Keenan Clayton | Tell me that this doesn't feel like a GM Rock Hewko selection? Clayton or Curran would both work here, but Clayton fills both a need on the Seahawks defense, but also fits the type of scheme that Seattle likes to run. He should be a freak of an athelete. |
| 1.10 |  | WR Arrelious Benn | The Lions made some big moves last season, but one thing they do need more of is wide receiving depth. Arrelious Benn is a tall receiver who can run and should be going early in this draft. Detroit is happy to select him 10th overall. |
| 1.11 |  | CB Kevin Thomas | San Diego has really fallen from grace since their Super Bowl season. Some would say it's too much focus in the wrong places. They start moving in the correct direction this offseason but boosting up their secondary, which really needs it now that Peyton Manning is in the division. |
| 1.12 |  | C Maurkice Pouncey | This is a bit of a weird pick, but protecting Tom Brady has to be the number one priority for New England this offseason. Pouncey doesn't look strong, but he's athletic and can block. That's what GM Briston Redford wants to see. |
| 1.13 |  | CB Kareem Jackson | The Giants roster appears to be heading in the right direction, but their secondary could use some younger players. The best players are starting to disappear so Kareem Jackson might be the player to draft at this point. |
| 1.14 | | WR Mike Williams | After spending a couple picks on defense, Bengals GM Brady Tinnin looks to get his new starting quarterback, Isaiah Stanback, a new weapon to throw to. The best wide receivers are off the board, but Mike Williams is the type of player that has succeeded in Cincinnati. |
| 1.15 |  | HB Ryan Mathews | It's crazy to think that Mathews may drop this far, but GMs tend to get hard-ons for cornerbacks and wide receivers (though they are consistently drafting this high...hmm). Mathews slides to Miami who quickly snaps him up as their running back of the future. |
| 1.16 |  | TE Jermaine Gresham | San Francisco has arrived. Kyle Orton finally looks like the elite quarterback GM Peter Fenger has been hoping he will be for seasons. With this selection they grab him the best tight end he could hope or ask for in this draft, Jermaine Gresham. |
| 1.17 | | LT Russell Okung | If this happens, GM Brad Barber walks away the ultimate winner in this draft. He gets what may be the two best players in the class, one at 1.01 and the other at 1.17. I get the feeling that offensive linemen will drop and if Barber is savvy, he selects Okung here. |
| 1.18 |  | LE Mike Neal | This selection comes with a ceveat. GM Neal Wintermute will run a private workout on Neal. However, if he skews the correct direction, Neal will very likely be a Minnesota Viking. He would have speed, size and strength, everything you want on the defensive line. |
| 1.19 |  | C Morgan Cox | I'm going to have a bit of fun with this selection. The Jets need a center (and will likely have one before the draft), but they select the strong and athletic long snapper here, willing to see whether strength matters at the center position. |
| 1.20 |  | LG Mike Iupati | This is about where I think the offensive linemen begin to roll off the board. Iupati will be a fantastic lineman with a good skew, but could be good as he is. I wouldn't be surprised to see Tennessee invest in him with this pick and start him right away. |
| 1.21 | | WR Carlton Mitchell | What's better than a flashy new wide receiver? Two flashy new wide receivers. With Mitchell still available you have to imagine that GM Brady Tinnin will pull the trigger and being to build a high flying pass offense in Cincinnati. |
| 1.22 | | DT Gerald McCoy | The defensive tackle class is a bit disappointing, based on the names that exist in the class. I do think we'll see one off the board by the end of the first round and Dallas desperately needs a playmaker at the position. McCoy looks like he could be a starter in the SFL. |
| 1.23 |  | WR David Gettis | The Buccaneers do not have a single wide receiver on their roster. Not one. New GM Bryan Mellon likes his receivers tall and doesn't care about speed. Gettis fits the bell as the best tall receiver left and he becomes a Buccaneer in this scenario. |
| 1.24 |  | DT Terrence Cody | Terrence Cody is a big man and a perfect nose tackle. If Cleveland wants to start moving toward a 3-4, Cody will be the player that gets selected here. He's fast, fairly strong and wide as an entire freight train. He's perfect in the middle. |
| 1.25 | | WR Marc Mariani | Last year we saw runs on cornerbacks. This year it will be wide receivers. The Lions draft their second of the first round, taking Marc Mariani at this position. He's not as tall as others in the class, but should be a good enough force to be reckoned with (and has 99 KR). |
| 1.26 |  | LT Zane Beadles | Oakland has focused hard on their running game the past couple of seasons and it has paid off. Getting another large blocker for Matt Forte makes a big difference and Beadles should be able to start immediately for the Raiders, who finally have competition in the division. |
| 1.27 |  | WR Taylor Price | Don't look now, but this is a very good roster. I might go as far as saying the Bears may be heavy Super Bowl favorites heading into 2010. Taylor Price is the type of receiver that GM Brent Lachapelle likes and he won't be afraid to draft him. |
| 1.28 | | WR Victor Cruz | The Saints need another wide receiver but with the big names off the board they may shift their attention toward Victor Cruz. He's extremely fast, but lacks strength and unnatural height. Still, he should work well in the Saints offense. |
| 1.29 |  | LT Charles Brown | Baltimore has officially moved on from Jonathan Ogden. They select his successor with Charles Brown who appears to be extremely ready to start and will like slot right into the left tackle position on day one. If you're Beanie Wells, you're ecstatic. |
| 1.30 |  | WR Emmanuel Sanders | Talk about a stacked roster. The past two GMs in Arizona have done a good job. Sanders is a speedy receiver, that while short, could likely find a starting job out of the slot in Arizona, given the opportunity. GM Apolo Shapiro likes to give chances. |
| 1.31 | | CB Walter Thurmond | He might be small, but his speed and acceleration make Thurmond a great CB2 option for a team willing to develop him. Detroit could use another young option in their secondary and it's slim pickings at the end of the first round for cornerbacks. |
| 1.32 |  | DT Ndamukong Suh | HE'S GONE! HALLELUJAH! Ahem, back to our regularly scheduled broadcasting. I imagine Suh has a massive skew up and drafting him at this spot in the first round isn't a bad idea. New GM Bill Ryan gets off to a good start in Washington. |
