Why each team should pick as above:

Miami: They had a problem with protecting the quarterback last season, which led to the struggle of  rookie John Beck. The Dolphins have many needs, but a strong left tackle is an important step for a rebuilding process. I don't believe a team should give up on a quarterback drafted that high in one season.

St. Louis: Chris Long provides another speed rusher from the end position for the Rams. This also moves last year's first round pick, Adam Carriker, inside. This pick is based on which position Carriker would perform better, and that is on the interior on the defensive line. Plus, Leonard Little is 33 years old and doesn't have many years left.

Atlanta: Some may believe that Matt Ryan is not a franchise quarterback and I am one of them. Ryan threw 19 interceptions last season and proved to be too inconsistent for a quarterback to be drafted this high. Glenn Dorsey plugs a big body into the interior of the Falcons defensive line. Dorsey fills the void left by Grady Jackson, who was released late in the season.

Oakland: Despite re-signing Justin Fargas after an impressive fill-in job for LaMont Jordan, McFadden is too talented to pass up. McFadden can be used as an every down back, a slot receiver, and even a quarterback out of the shotgun. Several teams made a mistake on passing up on Adrian Peterson last year. Al Davis isn't that dumb, is he? Besides, a Russell/McFadden duo in the backfield would be nice for a rebuilding team.

Kansas City: After trading Jared Allen, they have an empty spot at defensive end. Vernon Gholston is the best end available after Chris Long was taken by the Rams. Gholston has to improve his work ethic and consistency to be a great pro. He has all of the intangibles to excel at the next level, great footwork, good speed, and amazing strength. Some may go tackle here, but they have a later first round pick.

NY Jets: The Jets had a very hard time getting to the quarterback last season and the reason was the lack of a true pass rusher. Shaun Ellis, their first round pick from Tennessee a few years back hasn't worked well. Harvey is very athletic for a defensive end and may even move to the outside linebacker spot. Harvey was also a little
