Team Needs: Lions

The Lions were the first 0-16 team in the history of the league. This team has nothing and needs a total overhaul. Drafting a QB in not the anwser, and if they do select a QB that player should hold out and demand to be traded. The guy would get destroyed. Honestly they have so many needs that they should trade out and pick up some more picks. The city is hungry for something to cheer for, Detroits unemployment rate is 21%.

Team Needs: Rams

The Lambs added a new defensive minded coach, which makes me believe they will select Curry from Wake. But their offensive line is so weak they almost have to select the top offensive lineman at the 2 spot. They also have to ask themselves if Marc Bulger is their guy at Qb. He has been getting worse every year since he got paid. I hope they fuck this pick up.

Team Needs: Chiefs

The Chiefs lack alot of talent. So basically they need to draft the best player on the board at 3. There is a good chance they may end up with many peoples top player in the draft, that being Aaron Curry LB Wake Forest. This team needs everything.

Team Needs: Seahawks

The Hawks had a case of the injury bug last year (9 injured wrs). With the 4th pick the Hawks could go in a few different directions. There is no doubt they are possibly thinking about shopping this pick (Denver). Seattle has a few options. I expect them to either select a offensive tackle, linebacker, or quarterback at this spot. Expect them to be a major player in this years draft.

Team Needs: Browns

The Browns need to commit to one of their Quarterbacks. Magini will probably select a defensive player with their first pick. Either D-line or linebacker. Expect them to also ship Braylon Edwards to NYG for their first pick. It would be a good move for a team lacking in talent.

Team Needs: Bengals

How does Marvin Lewis still have a job? Guy has gone to the playoffs once in his tenure. I have no idea what this teams agenda is. Cedric Benson is their starting rb, enough said. Safe pick would be o-line here.

Team Needs: Raiders

The Raiders have been building a solid foundation through the draft over the past few years. I expect them to select a wide receiver or a pass rusher with their first pick. Expect to see Oakland in the playoffs next year, this is the year they go to the next level. Love Cable guy

Team Needs: Jags

Great news for the NFL, the Jags are getting new uniforms this year. The Jags dropped off alot last year. This team has not been able to put together any offensive consistency over the years. My pick for the Jags is no teal for their new uniforms.

Team Needs: Packers

The Packers have some aging cornerbacks. I could see them selecting Malcom Jenkins CB Ohio State with this pick. He is the big physical cb that this club likes. Their division just got alot tougher and i dont see them making an impact next year.

Team Needs: SF

This guys need more offensive help. If they think Shaun Hill is their QB of the future they can expect another losing season. Singletary wants to make this a physical team but i just dont see it happening. Teams take the identity of their city. SF is gay.

Team Needs: Buffalo

Buffalo started last season off hot and ended cold. They have some questions on the offensive line that should be addressed with their first pick. Its going to be funny to watch TO destroy this team.

Team Needs: Denver

Denver has alot of power in this year draft with their two top 20 picks. Good chance they try and move up and get in the top 10 to select their franchise QB. Overall, this team is a mess in total rebuild mode.

Team Needs: Redskins

This team thinks they can win a title through Free Agency. So far they have not even been close. They need to spend more time evaluating draft talent and build through the draft if they want to become real contenders. The Skins are the worst team in their division. Time to make a change.

Team Needs: Saints

Saints need to become more physcial on both sides of the ball. They need an every down running back. They also need defensive help. I would go defense with this pick. I hate Dome teams.

Team Needs: Texans

The Texans have been around for a few years now and they have had no impact on the NFL. This might finally be the year they make a serious playoff run. They play in one of the toughest division in football and they need to become more physical. Texans should get some more defensive help with this pick.

Team Needs: Chargers

The Chargers need to look at the defensive side of the ball for this draft. Who knows how well Merriman will do coming back from his injury. They could possibly go with a linebacker or defensive lineman. This team needs to toughen up if they want to make a super bowl run.

Team Needs: Jets

The Jets have some glaring needs on both sides of the ball. This New York step child team needs to select the best player availble. The Jets have a history of not evaluating talent very good. Tons of bad picks over the years.

Team Needs: Tampa Bay

This team has been totally torn apart this off season. They got a new coach and let alot of veteran players go. With their first pick they could possibly draft a quarterback or add some linebacker depth. Expect this club to be drafting in the top 5 next year.

Team Needs: Vikings

Can you say Quarterback. This is a very talented team put they still have a major missing piece. If they think Jackson or Rosenfels is the anwser they have another thing coming. The problem is this is a weak QB draft. If they want a franchise QB they need to move up in the draft.

Team Needs: Patriots

The Patriots seem to draft well every year. This team still has alot of aging players. I expect them to take the best availble defensive player at this spot. Im so sick of this team.

Team Needs: Atlanta

The Falcons had a major turn around season last year. This club has a few needs that have to be adressed. They will either add a weapon for young Matt Ryan (Tight End) or their defensive head coach will add some secondary or d-line depth.

Team Needs: Miami

Simple anwser for Miami. Parcells wants to keep building that defense, I expect them to take the best availble defensive player at this spot.

Team Needs: Ravens

This team needs to get Flacco some weapons if they want him to progress. They could possibly go with another rb or wide reciever with their first pick. Also, they need to add some youth at the linebacker position.

Team Needs: Colts

This Colts team has become soft over the past year. For them to get back on the championship level they need to address the defense. Specifically, the defensive line and a pass rusher. If they dont take a d-linemen expect them to add another weapon at the wr position for Peyton. They lack a true number 2 wide out.

Mel vs McShay

WEED

Boston College lineman B.J. Raji, who is considered the top defensive tackle eligible for this month's NFL draft, reportedly failed a drug test at the NFL combine.

Raji missed the 2007 college season with academic problems. SI.com reported that NFL scouts had been told that Raji also tested positive for marijuana during his time at BC.
