Clemson running back C.J. Spiller is one player the Giants may be targeting with the 15th pick in the first round. (Oct. 17, 2009) Credit: AP

1. Rams

Sam Bradford, QB, Oklahoma

Rams need a new face of the franchise, and there's no better candidate than the former Heisman Trophy winner.

2. Lions

Ndamukong Suh, DT, Nebraska

Coach Jim Schwartz told fans cheering for Suh at predraft event, "You won't be disappointed." Sounds like he's their guy.

3. Buccaneers

Gerald McCoy, DT, Oklahoma

The next Warren Sapp? The Bucs sure hope so.

4. Redskins

Trent Williams, T, Oklahoma

Russell Okung another possibility, but we're hearing Mike Shanahan prefers Williams' athleticism.

5. Chiefs

Eric Berry, S, Tennessee

Best playmaking defender in the draft. Ball-hawking safety a major upgrade for Chiefs' mediocre defense.

6. Seahawks

Russell Okung, T, Oklahoma

Seahawks need to find the next Walter Jones.

7. Browns

Joe Haden, CB, Florida

Jimmy Clausen not out of the question. But Haden's talent as pure cover corner hard to pass up.

8. Raiders

Anthony Davis, T, Rutgers: Al Davis is likely to do anything, but the need pick is on the offensive line.

9. Bills

Brian Bulaga, T, Iowa

Bills' depth along the offensive line is nonexistent.

10. Jaguars

Derrick Morgan, DE, Georgia Tech

Jags' pass rush in a word: Abysmal.

11. Broncos

Dez Bryant, WR, Oklahoma State

Too high? Perhaps. And there's interest in Rolando McClain. But Broncos also need a replacement for recently traded Brandon Marshall.

12. Dolphins

Dan Williams, DT, Tennessee

Dolphins could go with Sergio Kindle to upgrade pass rush but also must deal with fading Jason Ferguson, who will be suspended first eight games.

13. 49ers

Bruce Campbell, T, Maryland

Niners need a tackle to play opposite Joe Staley.

14. Seahawks

C.J. Spiller, RB, Clemson

If Seahawks can get franchise LT and RB in same draft, it would be huge.

15. Giants

Rolando McClain, LB, Alabama

Giants might have to move up to get him, but he'd be perfect successor to Antonio Pierce.

16. Titans

Sergio Kindle, OLB, Texas

Titans have lost much of pass rush over last two years with free-agent defections of Albert Haynesworth and Kyle Vanden Bosch.

17. 49ers

Jimmy Clausen, QB, Notre Dame

Niners still not sold on Alex Smith.

18. Steelers

Maurkice Pouncey, C, Florida

An immediate upgrade to an offensive line with pass-protection problems.

19. Falcons

Jason Pierre-Paul, DE, South Florida

John Abraham not getting any younger.

20. Texans

Kyle Wilson, CB, Boise State

Cornerback climbing the charts. Texans need a replacement for Dunta Robinson.

21. Bengals

Jermaine Gresham, TE, Oklahoma

Carson Palmer needs a midrange receiving threat, and Gresham fits the bill.

22. Patriots

Jared Odrick, DE/DT, Penn State

Bill Belichick has to replace Richard Seymour. Odrick a quality DE in a 3-4 alignment.

23. Packers

Mike Iupati, G, Idaho

Best of the remaining offensive linemen. Packers have tremendous problems protecting Aaron Rodgers.

24. Eagles

Earl Thomas, S, Texas

Might have to trade up to get him. Iggles need to find the next Brian Dawkins.

25. Ravens

Patrick Robinson, CB, Florida State

Ravens' secondary in need of a youth movement.

26. Cardinals

Sean Weatherspoon, OLB, Missouri

After losing Karlos Dansby and Antrell Rolle in free agency, time to restock the defense.

27. Cowboys

Taylor Mays, S, USC

Cowboys still haven't replaced Roy Williams. 

28. Chargers

Ryan Matthews, RB, Fresno State

Goodbye LaDainian, Hello Ryan.

29. Jets

Jerry Hughes, OLB, TCU

Jets can go any number of directions, but hard to go wrong with solid pass-rushing OLB in Hughes, especially if he falls in their laps. DT Brian Price another possibility.

30. Vikings

Tim Tebow, QB, Florida

Brett Favre won’t play forever. Vikings fell for Tebow after meeting him. Perfect spot to learn behind Favre.

31. Colts

Rodger Saffold, T, Indiana

Unsung blocker could find a job early on. Colts also like Iupati if he's available.

32. Saints

Brandon Graham, DE, Michigan

Saints can afford to go with value pick here. Graham a bit undersized but worth it at this spot.
