Official January Mock Draft

1. Miami Dolphins: Matt Ryan, QB, Boston College
I still think the Dolphins take a QB here and forgo picking Glenn Dorsey.

2. St. Louis Rams: Chris Long, DE, Virginia
The Rams really need help on defense, and end is a huge concern.

***Picks 3-5 will be determined by a coin flip at the combine***

3. Atlanta Falcons: Darren McFadden, RB, Arkansas
Offensive coordinator Mike Mularkey and new head coach Mike Smith like to run the ball. Mr. McFadden, welcome to Atlanta.

4. Oakland Raiders: Glenn Dorsey, DT, LSU
The Raiders don't get the running back they've needed for, oh, the past 15 years, but Dorsey falls right into their laps to replace the retired Warren Sapp.

5. Kansas City Chiefs: Jake Long, OT, Michigan
The Chiefs could go with a QB here, but Jake Long is far better than any QB left, even after only four picks.

6. New York Jets: Vernon Gholston, DE/OLB, Ohio State
With Gholston and Jonathan Vilma sitting on the other side of the ball, not too many offenses are going to be looking forward to facing the Jets.

7. New England Patriots (From San Francisco): Mike Jenkins, CB, South Florida
With Asante Samuel likely to make some team willing to spend a lot of money very happy, Jenkins seems like the perfect fit here.

8. Baltimore Ravens: Andre Woodson, QB, Kentucky
Some have Brian Brohm going here, but I think Baltimore's current offensive weapons would be so much better with a mobile quarterback.

9. Cincinnati Bengals: Sedrick Ellis, DT, Southern Cal
The Bengals' front four need a lot of help.

10. New Orleans Saints: Kenny Phillips, FS, Miami
The Saints secondary was pitiful last year, and Phillips is just what the unit needs.

11. Buffalo Bills: Dan Connor, LB, Penn State
The Bills could really use a big No. 2 receiver, but this draft class is so deep with WRs that they can get a decent one at the top of the second.

12. Denver Broncos: Keith Rivers, LB, Southern Cal
The Broncos could use just about anyone here. Rivers is a darn good "anyone."

13. Carolina Panthers: Ryan Clady, OT, Boise State
Carolina desperately needs some help up front.

14. Chicago Bears: Brian Brohm, QB, Louisville
If the Bears don't solve the QB problem through free agency, they should consider themselves lucky that Brohm is still hanging around at this point.

15. Detroit Lions: Aqib Talib, CB, Kansas
It's about time the Lions decide not to draft a WR early.

16. Arizona Cardinals: Jonathan Stewart, RB, Oregon
A good running back to compliment Edgerrin James is one of only a few missing pieces here.

17. Minnesota Vikings: DeSean Jackson, WR, California
The Vikes can get a QB in the later rounds. Look for them to grab a real weapon first.

18. Houston Texans: Rashard Mendenhall, RB, Illinois
The Texans could use a reliable running back.

19. Philadelphia Eagles: Sam Baker, OT, Southern Cal
The Eagles need receivers in the worst way, but the draft is deep with them. Look for Philly to make a smart move with some aging tackles on the roster.

20. Tampa Bay Buccaneers: Malcolm Kelly, WR, Oklahoma
The Bucs would probably be looking for a QB here, but there are none to be found. Malcolm Kelly, instead, will be a huge pickup here.

21. Washington Redskins: Calais Campbell, DE, Miami
I almost lean toward Quentin Groves here, but Campbell is the better DE right now. The combine could change that. Either way, the Skins need a pass rusher.

22. Dallas Cowboys: Limas Sweed, WR, Texas
It's unclear how many more years TO has, but Sweed will be great opposite him for however long Owens decides to stick around.

23. Pittsburgh Steelers: Jeff Otah, OT, Pittsburgh
Well, Otah wouldn't have to move far, and he'd be pretty much guaranteed to see a lot of playing time right away.

24. Tennessee Titans: Leodis McKelvin, CB, Troy
McKelvin could climb the board a bit, but he's a safe bet for the Titans if he's still hanging around.

25. Seattle Seahawks: Mario Manningham, WR, Michigan
The Seahawks are known for their wide array of receivers, but some are broken down, others are headed elsewhere. Manningham will provide some freshness for Matt Hasselbeck.

26. Jacksonville Jaguars: Quentin Groves, DE, Auburn
Groves will likely climb into the first round, and the Jags will be there to snag him, especially with Paul Spicer probably headed to the land of free agency.

27. San Diego Chargers: Frank Okam, DT, Texas
The Chargers need some depth inside, but an offensive playmaker could be taken here, too.

28. Dallas Cowboys: Steve Slaton, RB, West Virginia
The Cowboys will likely need a running back by the time the draft rolls around, and why wait until the second round when first round talent is still available?

29. San Francisco 49ers (From Indianapolis): Chris Williams, OT, Vanderbilt
The offensive line was a gigantic problem for the Niners. They're stuck with Alex Smtih for a while, so they may as well find a way to protect him.

30. Green Bay Packers: Reggie Smith, CB/S, Oklahoma
The Packers need to get a little younger in the secondary.

31. New York Giants: Antoine Cason, CB, Arizona
The Giants, too, need to get a little younger in the secondary.
