Buffalo Bills: Jake Locker, QB, Washington 
The Bills don't really have a choice if they have the No. 1 pick in 2011 and there is a quarterback worthy of this pick. Locker has to be the choice here because of the immense pressure the team drafting has to pick a quarterback. The St. Louis Rams were forced to take Sam Bradford because he was the consensus top quarterback in the 2010 NFL Draft and the team had to develop a young signal-caller to be the face of the franchise.
Bills fans will need something to fuel some optimism, and drafting Locker here would be a given for every team that needs a quarterback.
-
St. Louis Rams: Marcell Dareus, DT, Alabama 
Walter gave the Rams receiver A.J. Green from Georgia at this pick, which could happen, but I wanted to see what would happen in my mock if the Rams went ahead and selected Dareus.
Dareus is a highly talented defensive lineman for the Crimson Tide that can play 4-3 defensive tackle or 3-4 defensive end, and that scheme versatility is highly valuable now in the NFL. If the Rams want to change defensive coordinators, then they don't lose value.
-
Kansas City Chiefs: Patrick Peterson, CB, Louisiana State 
The Chiefs could go a number of ways here. A.J. Green is an option because they could use a No. 1 threat at receiver, but the Chiefs also lack an elite playmaker at the corner position, and that's exactly what Peterson is. He's an athletic ballhawk who looks like one of the best prospects at his position in the past decade. The only question is whether he will live up to the hype in his junior season.
-
Seattle Seahawks: A.J. Green, WR, Georgia 
Seattle would love to add a talented wideout like Green here in the top five. Remember, this was the same team that passed up on Michael Crabtree for Aaron Curry. Curry is a good linebacker, but I think they do slightly regret passing up on someone who can make big plays in the receiving game. Green is an excellent route runner and has the speed you look for to be a deep threat in the NFL.
-
Jacksonville Jaguars: Andrew Luck, QB, Stanford 
I'm not sure if Luck will go pro or not, but for the sake of my 2011 NFL Mock Draft, I'm giving him to the Jaguars here. Jack Del Rio will surely be fired if the Jags have a season this bad, and you can bet a new coach would want to have his own handpicked quarterback as opposed to David Garrard.
-
Arizona Cardinals: Robert Quinn, DE, North Carolina 
Quinn is a freakishly athletic pass rusher who put up monstrous production in his sophomore season. I don't see how the Cardinals pass up on him here - simply too much talent. With both quarterbacks off the board, this is a value pick, but they could also use an elite defensive end so it's a slight need as well.
-
Cleveland Browns: Michael Floyd, WR, Notre Dame 
I don't see Brian Robiskie or Mohamed Massaquoi ever being No. 1 receivers in the NFL, but Floyd can be a major threat at the position. The Browns are absolutely desperate for playmakers on offense, and they go with one of the biggest talents at his position in the 2011 NFL Draft. I love Floyd's ball skills, size and talent.
-
Tampa Bay Buccaneers: Prince Amukamara, CB, Nebraska 
I'm mixing it up a little bit here with Tampa's pick. Aqib Talib is poised to have a breakout season, but Ronde Barber is getting older and there are no sure things on this roster as a starter opposite Talib. Plus, Amukamara is worthy of a top 10 pick. The Bucs could also address defensive end here (Adrian Clayborn, Greg Romeus), but if Amukamara is the highest-rated player on the board, I think he's the pick.
-
Carolina Panthers: Greg Romeus, DE, Pittsburgh 
We will see if Everette Brown pans out, but if he doesn't have a great second year in 2010, then the Panhers will be looking to fill the shoes of Julius Peppers. I'm a big fan of Romeus and I think he's going to step it up for Pittsburgh with his production.
-
New England Patriots: Mark Ingram, RB, Alabama
When I do mocks I never look at Walter's (don't need to), and I find it intriguing we both have Ingram to the Pats. The Pats are desperate for a playmaker at running back after ignoring this position year after year. Ingram is a great fit in this offense because he can block on third down and also catch the football.
-
Denver Broncos: Jerrell Powe, NT, Mississippi 
This looks like a bit of a reach now, but I had trouble finding picks that fit Denver's needs. Jamal Williams is only a short-term fix at the nose tackle position and the Broncos could use a clog in the middle that could be a dominant force for the next decade. Powe is easily the top-rated nose tackle in the 2011 class.
-
Tennessee Titans: Ras-I Dowling, CB, Virginia 
Dowling is one of the highest-rated players currently on the board and the Titans could use a shutdown corner opposite Cortland Finnegan. Dowling has outstanding size and is a playmaker. He is solid in run support and a very competitive player.
-
Pittsburgh Steelers: Joe Barksdale, T, Louisiana State
Barksdale is without a doubt in my mind the best tackle prospect for the 2011 NFL Draft. He simply has the best skill set as far as agility, technique and pass blocking efficiency. Ciron Black graduated and Barksdale is moving to the blind side. The Steelers could use a big-time left tackle, and I think Barksdale fits the bill.
-
Washington Redskins: Julio Jones, WR, Alabama
Santana Moss will be 32 years old next season and Devin Thomas hasn't yet emerged as a No. 1 target in Washington. It would be smart to get Donovan McNabb a big possession receiver who can work the middle of the field and make athletic receptions.
-
Detroit Lions: Travis Lewis, OLB, Oklahoma 
The Lions traded away Ernie Sims to the Eagles, and there is still a need for a weakside linebacker in Detroit. Lewis is clearly a first-round talent and all the 4-3 teams will have him high on their board because he presents a rare skill set. I love Lewis' fluidity, production, and overall talent level. He's extremely strong for his size and would be a great fit in Detroit.
-
Cincinnati Bengals: Adrian Clayborn, DE, Iowa 
The Bengals spent a second-round pick on Carlos Dunlap, but you can never have too many pass rushers and I think Clayborn is a value pick here. At this point, the only immediate needs for the Bengals seem to be the offensive line and safety. Neither position has a lot of talent in the first round at this point and Clayborn is the top player on the board.
