1. Houston Texans: Teddy Bridgewater, Quarterback, Louisville

Now that Gary Kubiak is out as head coach, Houston may be in the process of blowing everything up. If that's the case, it's going to have to look at quarterback come May. While I have Derek Carr slightly highe on my big board than Bridgewater, it's really hard to believe that Houston would go in the "Carr" direction again. Bridgewater has a chance to be an elite quarterback at the next level. 

2. Jacksonville Jaguars: Jedeveon Clowney, Defensive End, South Carolina 

Some may indicate that Carr has to be the pick here. While that does make a ton of sense, head coach Gus Bradley, as a defensive mind, will go with a player that represents the best possible value at No. 2 overall. Despite gaining a vast amount of critics over the course of the season, Clowney is the best defensive player that I have ever scouted, even ahead of the likes of Patrick Peterson and Von Miller. He will be an immediate-impact performer for the Jags defense. 

3. St. Louis Rams: Derek Carr, Quarterback, Fresno State

The "Sam Bradford experiment" has officially failed and St. Louis needs to move on.

With the selection acquired in the Robert Griffin III trade, it makes too much sense to look quarterback.

Carr is my No. 2 overall player in the draft at this point and can be an immediate starter.

That being said, St. Louis could give Bradford one more shot in an attempt to up his trade value while Carr learns the nuances of the NFL. 

4. Atlanta Falcons: Jake Matthews, Offensive Tackle, Texas A&M 

Atlanta already has the franchise quarterback and two No. 1 receivers in the form of Julio Jones and Roddy White. It's now time that the Falcons protect their biggest asset, Matt Ryan. Even before his injury, Sam Baker was nothing more than a decent left tackle in the NFL. Move him over to the right side and insert in the best offensive linman in the entire 2014 NFL draft. This is a no brainer. 

5. Tampa Bay Buccaneers: Cyrus Kouandijo, Offensive Tackle, Alabama

I am pretty sure that Tampa Bay hopes Matthews falls to them at five or that it fnishes with a higher pick than Atlanta. That being said, this currently isn't the case. If so, the Buccaneers will go with the upside of Kouandijo, who has a chance to be the best tackle in a strong draft class. The Buccaneers could ease him into the lineup at right tackle and move him to Mike Glennon's blindside when he gains the necessary experience. 

6. Minnesota Vikings: C.J. Mosley, Linebacker, Alabama

While Minnesota definitely needs to address the quarterback position, it's also having major issues at linebacker. Desmond Bishop is a good player when on the field, but he hasn't been able to stay healthy. Chad Greenway simply hasn't been the same player he was in the past over the course of the last two seasons. Mosley represnts a plug-and-play linebacker with a tremendous amount of upside. 

7. Cleveland Browns: Mike Evans, Wide Receiver, Texas A&M 

Imagine Josh Gordon and Evans lined up together for the Browns next season. Whoever is under center will have absolutely no excuses. While I do have Sammy Watkins ranked ahead of Evans, the latter fills more of a need as a complementary possession guy next to Gordon. These two would make for one of the better young tandems in the NFL. 

8. Oakland Raiders: Anthony Barr, Linebacker, UCLA

Sure Oakland could go quarterback here, and some have mocked Johnny Manziel to him. While that does make some sense, it needs to add to what has been a surprising defense. Bringing in Barr would create a solid front seven with the likes of Sio Moore, Nick Roach and Lamarr Houston. 

9. Buffalo Bills: Taylor Lewan, Offensive Tackle, Michigan 

Cordy Glenn simply isn't a left tackle in the NFL. He reminds me of Michael Oher in that he's a great fit to play along the right side of the line. Despite being my third-ranked tackle in the draft, Lewan does offer a nice amount of experience and upside at No. 9 overall. This would be a solid get for the Bills. 

10. Pittsburgh Steelers: Eric Ebron, Tight End, North Carolina 

Heath Miller, who has been an absolute stud for Ben Roethlisberger over the years, isn't getting any younger and we know exactly how much Big Ben relies on his tight ends.

It's rather early in the process, but Ebron as the third-best tight end I have ever scouted behind only Vernon Davis and Tyler Eifert.

While the value of picking up a tight end in the top 10 can be questioned, Ebron is a differerence maker plain and simple. 

11. New York Jets: Sammy Watkins, Wide Receiver, Clemson 

Stephen Hill never really panned out for the Jets and may not even be back with the team next season. The writing is definitely on the wall there. A receiving group that consists of Hill, Santonio Holmes, David Nelson and Greg Salas quite simply won't get it done. Watkins is my No. 1 ranked receiver in the draft and can provide that deep threat for Geno Smith or whoever is under center in 2014. 

12. Tennessee Titans: Ifo Ekpre-Olomu, Cornerback, Oregon 

For a team that is still in contention for a playoff spot in the AFC, Tennessee has a lot of holes on both sides of the ball. Outside of Alterraun Verner, it really doesn't have an impact player in the secondary. Adding someone of Ekpre-Olomu's man-coverage skills would be a huge asset for both Tennessee's secondary and what has become a promising front seven. Team him up with Verner and you have a top-10 looking pass defense a tad down the road. 

13. San Diego Chargers: Khalil Mack, Linebacker, Buffalo 

The likes of Larry English and Melvin Ingram just haven't gotten it done after San Diego selected both in the first round over the past few seasons. In order to run a 3-4 defense smoothly, you need an elite pass-rushing outside linebacker. Despite playing at a small shool, Mack possesses the best set of pass-rush moves in the entire draft. He's going to be a consistent 10-plus sack guy and is currently ranked in my top five. 

14. New York Giants: Cameron Erving, Offensive Tackle, Florida State

If Erving can prove that he can stay healthy, he's going to be a dynamic left tackle in the NFL. The issue here is that he hasn't proven that at Florida State. All the skills are there for him to be a great blindside protector at the next level. Will Beatty is currently manning that fort, but he's more of a right tackle by trade. Adding Erving to 2013 first-round pick Justin Pugh would give the Giants the young assets they covet along the offensive line. 

15. St. Louis Rams: David Yankey, Guard, Stanford

While Yankey is not quite up to the level of a David DeCastro, Chance Warmack or Jonathan Cooper, he is a plug-and-play guard right out of the gate. Equally as good in pass protection as run blocking, Yankey would give the Rams the best of both worlds, especially with Zac Stacy primed to be an upper-echelon running back. In addition, the Rams need a future replacement for Harvey Dahl. 

16. Green Bay Packers: Ha Ha Clinton-Dix, Safety, Alabama 

I am not as high on Clinton-Dix as some other scouts are, but he is going to be a really solid cover free safety in the NFL.

He has the range and awareness to also play the slot corner position, if needed. It's obvious that the Packers are missing that true cover guy at free safety now that Charles Woodson has moved on.

MD Jennings simply isn't getting it done.

Clinton-Dix would form a great safety duo with an equally impressive Morgan Burnett. 

17. Chicago Bears: Stephon Tuitt, Defensive Tackle, Notre Dame

When you lose someone of the caliber of Henry Melton, it's most definitely going to impact your defense. That's one of the primary reasons that the Bears now rank dead last in the NFL against the run after yielding a total of 1,230 rushing yards over the past six games. Even with Melton, who is going to be a free agent, in the fold next season, Chicago needs to find another interior lineman. After all, Stephen Paea is about as useless as they come. Tuitt, a standout run stopper at Notre Dame, would be the perfect fit here. 

18. Baltimore Ravens: Marqise Lee, Wide Receiver, USC

Torrey Smith might be having a breakout campaign for the Ravens, but it's pretty obvious that Joe Flacco is missing the consistent possession guy that Anquan Boldin was over the previous few seasons. Lee has long been considered a top-five prospect, but injury issues and quarterback play at USC has seen his stock drop considerable. Don't let that fool you, Lee is a true No. 1 wide receiver. After all, remember just how much both Michael Floyd and Keenan Allen slipped in the mind of scouts leading up to the past two drafts. It's a surface-based argument to say that Lee isn't going to be an impact player at the next level. 

19. Arizona Cardinals: Brandon Scherff, Offensive Tackle, Iowa

Arizona made the smart decision by drafting Jonathan Cooper in the first round of the draft last April. Unfortunately, an injury in the preseason cost the guard his entire rookie season. On the bright spot, Cooper will act like an extra draft pick this upcoming May. Why not go out there and find another running partner, someone who will be a great left tackle in the NFL? Scherff might not be getting a lot of play right now, but he's sure to impress in the postseason events. In fact, he could easily end up being a top-10 pick when all is said and done. 

20. Philadelphia Eagles: Darqueze Dennard, Cornerback, Michigan State

While Brandon Boykin has shown that he can be a good nickel guy in the NFL, Philadelphia simply doesn't have anyone outside of him that figures to play a large role at cornerback moving forward.

Cary Williams and Bradley Fletcher are stopgap measure at best. Dennard may be the best pure cover corner in the entire draft.

Where he struggles with tackling, he more than makes up for it with above-average fluidity in coverage. That's rare for such a young player. 

21. Detroit Lions: Jason Verrett, Cornerback, Texas Christian 

Much like the Eagles, it appears that Detroit only has one viable long-term option at cornerback. Rookie Darius Slay has been extremely impressive and is likely its most consistent cover guy, even ahead of Chris Houston, who has struggled this season. Verrett will continue to drive up draft boards simply because he has the "it factor." This means that he's able to go one-on-one with phyiscally imposing receivers and come out on top. That's going to be big with the likes of Jordy Nelson, Brandon Marshall and Alshon Jeffery in the NFC North. 

22. Miami Dolphins: Cyril Richardson, Offensive Line, Baylor

It appears that neither Richie Incognito or Jonathan Martin will be returning to South Beach next season. If that's the case, Miami has a ton of holes to fill along the offensive line. Richardson can play both guard and tackle at the next level, so he gives the Dolphins some flexibility along this unit. I liken the Baylor product to a more athletic Cordy Glenn. Not bad value at a need position in the bottom third of the first round. 

23. Dallas Cowboys: Ahmad Dixon, Safety, Baylor 

Some may think this is a tad of a reach, but Dixon has started to grow on me. He's a strong safety by trade, but has plus coverage skills at that position. This is something that Dallas has been lacking over the years. A combination of J.J. Wilcox and Dixon at safety looks mighty impressive moving forward. 

24. Cleveland: Blake Bortles, Quarterback, Central Florida 

Bortles is one of the fastest risers around the scouting community. He's completing nearly 70 percent of his passes for over 3,000 yards for a surprising Central Florida team.

Blessed with a strong arm that he seems to be confident in, Bortles has the ability to make every throw on the field.

While his decision making leaves a little to be desired, the young quarterback does a solid job transitioning from one read to another.

That has been the major knock on Brandon Weeden during his short tenure with Cleveland. As it is, the Browns need to find themselves that franchise guy.

Bortles may be a tad raw, but his ceiling is as high as any quarterback not named Teddy or Derek. 

25. Cincinnati Bengals: Bradley Roby, Cornerback, Ohio State

Dre Kirkpatrick simply hasn't gotten it done opposite the oft-injured Leon Hall and the Bengals are going to have to go back to the drawing board to find another cornerback. Where Roby has struggled a tad in coverage this season, his strong frame and lateral quickness makes him a solid late first-round option for his homestate Bengals. 

26. San Francisco 49ers: Davante Adams, Wide Receiver, Fresno State

Despite being a redshirt sophomore, Adams already has the skillset to be a dominating receiver in the NFL out of the gate.

He is strong and quick off the line, does a great job selling specific routes and possesses plus hands. The Fresno State star, should he declare, will be the darling of the scouting community.

It also goes without saying that San Francisco is in need of another wide receiver. A trio of Michael Crabtree, Quinton Patton and Adams doesn't sound too bad moving forward. 

27. Kansas City Chiefs: Jace Amaro, Tight End, Texas Tech

Alex Smith is having himself quite the season in his first stint with Kansas City. With all that said, we know how much the veteran quarterback relies on his tight ends. Unfortunately, Anthony Fasano has been injured and rookie Travis Kelce is on injured reserve. Amaro reminds me a great deal of Rob Gronkowski and can be that intimidating tight end threat for Smith and the Chiefs. 

28. New England Patriots: Will Sutton, Defensive Tackle, Arizona State

With Vince Wilfork not getting any younger and sidelined for the season due to an injury, the Patriots are going to have to go out there and find an eventual replacement. For some reason Sutton continues to fly under the radar of the scouting community, but the big-bodied defensive tackle is a perfect fit for the Patriots hybrid defensive scheme. He can work behind the ultimate pro that is Wilfork and be ready to take over when it becomes a necessity in the not-so-distant future. 

29. Carolina Panthers: Jordan Matthews, Wide Receiver, Vanderbilt 

Steve Smith has slowed down considerably from a tremendous bounce back camaign last year. At 34, it's hard to imagine him ever regaining his old form. While Brandon LaFell is having a solid season as Carolina's No. 2 receiver, that's pretty much the ceiling for him. Matthews could be the future No. 1 for Cam Newton and Co. At 6'3" and 205, the Vandy product has the size to go up and catch Newton's rockets. He also has surprising speed and agility for someone that size. Carolina would be doing backflips if he was available towards the back end of the first round. 

30. New Orleans Saints: Vic Beasley, Outside Linebacker, Clemson 

Defensive coordinator Rob Ryan has done a tremendous job in his first season with the Saints.

Switching from a 4-3 to a 3-4 is difficult enough. Trying to do so with personnel that fits the former better is even harder.

With the likes of Cameron Jordan and Kenny Vaccaro stepping up on D, New Orleans has built a strong and youthful foundation. Beasley is a perfect fit for its 3-4 scheme as a pass-rushing outside linebacker.

He could come in and be a pass-rush threat out of the gate. A steal at a position of need at 30. 

31. Denver Broncos: Kyle Fuller, Cornerback, Virginia Tech 

Fuller isn't getting the recognition that he deserves, but the Tech prospect has both the man-coverage skills and technique to be a starter out of the gate. While he doesn't possess as much upside as those selected before him, his bottom is much higher. And that's exactly what the Broncos need with Champ Bailey officially hitting washed-up status and Dominique Rodgers-Cromartie playing like nothing more than a pedestrian starting corner. 

32. Seattle Seahawks: Ra'Shede Hageman, Defensive Tackle, Minnesota

Leave it to John Schneider and Co. to get one of the biggest steals of the first round. Hageman At 6'6" and 311 pounds, the Golden Gopher is just an athletic freak. He recorded a 36" vertical jump in an event prior to the season and has the power to dominate the trenches. In addition, Hageman is damn fast for someone his size. While Brandon Mebane and Tony McDaniel are playing great along the interior of Seattle's defensive line, it could use a bit more bulk up front.
