1. Miami Dolphins

JAKE LONG, 6-7, 315, Michigan, OT: Bulldozer of a tackle in the run game who can also be a solid insurance policy for any franchise QB. Lacks the nimbleness of the truly great LTs.

2. St. Louis Rams

CHRIS LONG, 6-foot-4, 275 pounds, Virginia, DE: A versatile prospect at the position who could be a three-down player due to his array of pass-rush moves and nose for the football. His one weak spot is a lack of edge-rush speed.

3. Atlanta Falcons

MATT RYAN, 6-foot-5, 224 pounds, Boston College, QB: Has all the tools to succeed in the modern NFL. Is tall enough to see over defenses, quick to check down through receivers, and can avoid the rush and throw on the run. His one weakness is the deep ball. Calm under pressure.

4. Oakland Raiders

DARREN McFADDEN, 6-2, 210, junior, Arkansas, RB: Has the speed and acceleration to make defenders look foolish, as well as the strength to defeat tacklers and make a strong second effort. Will need to improve stand-up blocks. Possible contributor on special teams, though ball-security was an issue there in college.

5. Kansas City Chiefs

GLENN DORSEY, 6-2, 316, LSU, DT: Explosive and violent, he makes up for lack of size with his strength and energy. Astonishingly quick off the ball, and strong. Quick to diagnose plays and find the ball. Demands attention from blockers, but production could be limited. Also some durability issues.

6. New York Jets

VERNON GHOLSTON, 6-4, 258, junior, Ohio State, LB: Has the speed to get upfield and past blockers in a hurry, but is less effective against the run. Raw, with plenty of potential to become a top speed rusher or linebacker.

7. New Orleans Saints

SEDRICK ELLIS, 6-1, 305, Southern Cal, DT: Sudden off the ball, he can disrupt plays before they develop. Good at sniffing out the ball and pursuing. Probably not ideal for a two-gap scheme.

8. Jacksonville Jaguars

DERRICK HARVEY, 6-5, 252, junior, Florida, DE: Quick to read and react, he could be a linebacker project. Either way, he shows excellent acceleration and speed, as well as football IQ.

9. Cincinnati Bengals

KEITH RIVERS, 6-3, 235, Southern California, LB: Excellent athletic ability, but sometimes can get neutralized, especially in traffic. Persistent effort. Shows promise in pass coverage.

10. New England Patriots

JEROD MAYO, 6-1, 242, Tennessee, LB: Smart and agile athlete who shows good ability to change direction and stay with RBs and TEs in coverage, as well as avoid blockers.

11. Buffalo Bills

LEODIS MCKELVIN, 5-11, 190, Troy, CB: Elite returner, who shows willingness, if not ability, in run support.

12. Denver Broncos

RYAN CLADY, 6-6, 316, junior, Boise State, OT: Quick and nimble, but not a great drive blocker. Long arms, intelligence also pluses.

13. Carolina Panthers

JONATHAN STEWART, 5-11, 235, Oregon, RB: Compact, agile bowling ball of a back who doesn’t fear contact and doesn’t get brought down easily.

14. Chicago Bears

CHRIS WILLIAMS, 6-6, 315, Vanderbilt, OT: Nimble feet help tackle in pass protection, but needs to get more aggressive.

15. Kansas City Chiefs (from Detroit)

BRANDEN ALBERT, 6-6, 309, junior, Virginia, G: Strong in the upper body but needs to add leg strength to be at his best. Skilled at trap-blocking, but struggles to get out to the second level. Could wind up at tackle.

16. Arizona Cardinals

DOMINIQUE RODGERS-CROMARTIE, 6-2, 182, Tennessee State, DB: Hard worker with good game instincts and the athletic ability to stick with WRs or close on the ball. Technique is raw.

17. Detroit Lions (from Minnesota through K.C.)

GOSDER CHERILUS, 6-7, 315, Boston College, OT: Four-year starter at tackle (first three on the right side) who is better in the running game. Huge arms and hands.

18. Baltimore Ravens (from Houston)

JOE FLACCO, 6-7, 236, Delaware, QB: Raw ability is there, but footwork and mechanics need improvement.

19. Carolina Panthers (from Philadelphia)

JEFF OTAH, 6-6, 340, Pittsburgh, OT: Bulk and lack of athleticism point to his future as a right tackle for a run-heavy team.

20. Tampa Bay Buccaneers

AQIB TALIB, 6-1, 202, Kansas, DB: Great athleticism and ball skills, he has the ability to see time at WR, not to mention in the return game. Needs to improve footwork and technique.

21. Atlanta Falcons (from Washington)

SAM BAKER, 6-5, 312, Southern California, OT: Big and can get bigger. Plays technically sound, with good pop off the ball.

22. Dallas Cowboys (from Cleveland)

FELIX JONES, 6-0, 200, junior, Arkansas, RB: If he didn’t play on the same team as McFadden, he’d be much more known.

23. Pittsburgh Steelers

RASHARD MENDENHALL, 5-11, 210, junior, Illinois, RB: A load who relies on superb vision more than quick cutting or outright speed. Downhill, one-cut style runner, but not totally a runaway truck type.

24. Tennessee Titans

CHRIS JOHNSON, 5-11, 195, East Carolina, RB: Explosive outside runner with natural hands and plenty of experience running routes; he even lined up at WR some. Could be a nice weapon in the right scheme and on kick returns.

25. Dallas Cowboys (from Seattle)

MIKE JENKINS, 6-0, 200, South Florida, DB: Has the speed to stay with anyone and the strength to play good press coverage. He’s the top CB in the draft, though he needs to improve tackling.

26. Houston Texans (from Jacksonville through Baltimore)

DUANE BROWN, 6-4, 315, Virginia Tech, OT: Raw, but nimble and athletic, he knows how to use his body to keep defenders at bay.

27. San Diego Chargers

ANTOINE CASON, 6-0, 190, Arizona, DB: Quick, but not necessarily fast. Good ability to leap for interceptions and batted balls.

28. Seattle Seahawks (from Dallas)

LAWRENCE JACKSON, 6-5, 268, Southern California, DE: Strong, hard-working player who will put in the extra hours to be a menace on the edge. More of an interior player, he could even bulk up and shift to DT.

29. San Francisco 49ers (from Indianapolis)

KENTWAN BALMER, 6-5, 298, North Carolina DT: Good off the snap, and shows impressive ability when the effort is there.

30. New York Jets (from Green Bay)

DUSTIN KELLER, 6-3, 242, Purdue, TE: Can develop into a productive receiver with more reps. Hands, speed and athletic ability are there.

31. New York Giants

KENNY PHILLIPS, 6-2, 208, junior, Miami, DB: Good speed and ability to read plays. Effective in the running game, though isn’t great in man coverage.
