Head-to-head mock: Bradford remains No. 1

The Rams need a franchise quarterback they can begin to build around, and Bradford’s name seems to be picking up steam.

We won't absolutely know about Bradford's shoulder until he throws at his private workout on Monday, but unless and until he comes up with any physical debits, he's got the potential to be the franchise quarterback the Rams desperately need.

Even with all the upgrades the Lions have made along their defensive line, Suh still offers the kind of potential blue-chipper they can’t pass up.

Let loose to split the blocks and get to the quarterback, Suh would have even more elite disruptive potential than he already does.

The Buccaneers are a team with needs across the board, so picking a talent like McCoy, who can instantly improve their defensive line, makes sense.

McCoy has top-level ability to wade through blocking and keep his momentum going forward, and the short-area speed to chase down quarterbacks and running backs through the entire backfield.

The Redskins have a lot of question marks along their offensive line, and Okung looks like someone who can step in and play at a high level from Day 1.

Step 1 for new coach Mike Shanahan's offense is to get elite blindside protection, which Okung will be able to provide.

Kansas City is in desperate need of playmakers in the secondary, and Berry is the best the 2010 draft has to offer.

Tasked with rebuilding a young defense very much under construction, new defensive coordinator Romeo Crennel will benefit from the best safety prospect in years.

O-line could be the pick here, but with the overall depth of the offensive tackle class, the Seahawks could opt for one of the draft’s most dynamic threats.

Bulaga may not have Okung's upside from a pass-protection perspective, but he may be the safest pick at his position in this draft.

Expect the Browns to add one of the draft’s top cover men and fill one of their biggest needs in the process.

Strong in man and zone coverage, Haden should impress everyone in Cleveland's front-office gauntlet and provide a great deal of help to a defense that finished 28th in Football Outsiders' metrics against the pass.

Williams has been a fast-rising prospect this offseason and would give the Raiders some talent and flexibility at the offensive tackle position.

He's got the workout numbers that Al Davis is sure to love, but unlike Maryland's Bruce Campbell (a common name for the Raiders in mock drafts), Williams looks like a pro prospect on tape.

Clausen might not be an ideal fit in Buffalo, but the Bills need to find an NFL-caliber signal caller, and he’s the best still on the board.

We're keeping him here for now, but when you look at the landscape, it sure seems that the window for Clausen as a top-10 pick is closing.

Jacksonville has to add more speed and talent to its back seven, and Mays has the range and versatility to fill a variety of roles on the Jaguars defense.

Some teams might try to play him at cornerback, but as Eric Berry will prove, range safeties are more valuable than ever. Thomas can come up in the box and play center field in a way that Reggie Nelson(notes) never could.

Williams possesses the ability to anchor the Broncos up front and should instantly improve their run defense in the process.

Bryant doesn't have Brandon Marshall's(notes) downfield speed, but he shares an elite ability to come down with catches in traffic.

No matter how you look at it, the Dolphins need to add some talent to their receiver corps, and even with all his character concerns, Bryant is still the draft’s best option.

It is hard to replace a legitimate 3-4 nose tackle (in this case, Jason Ferguson(notes)), and that's why the Fins will come away with Williams in the draft if he's available here. Miami has a need for an edge rusher, but this is a Bill Parcells team, and that means it all starts in the middle.

Davis is a talented kid, but questions about his maturity might cause him to drop a bit on draft day. He’d be a great fit in San Francisco since he possesses the size and athleticism to play on either side of the line of scrimmage.

A true playmaker like C.J. Spiller might be tempting here, but the Niners had better know that speed won't mean much if there are no lanes to run through. Davis could be the sleeper of a deep tackle class if he overcomes consistency concerns.

Besides Okung, Bulaga looks like the draft’s safest offensive tackle option and should instantly fill a major void in Seattle.

Not a sexy pick, and the Seahawks faithful will no doubt howl in protest at the thought of another defensive end taken early, but Pete Carroll's 4-3 defenses rely heavily on ends who can hold the point and still get to the quarterback.

The Giants have a huge hole at ILB, and McClain has the ability to come in and become an impact player quickly.

Putting McClain in the middle of their defense will bring back some of the smashmouth mindset that's been absent recently.

Tennessee needs to add more talent to its defensive end position, and Morgan might be the draft’s best option; a great value at this point.

Blessed with rare burst off the snap and a great array of moves, Graham has the potential to be everything Jeff Fisher needs to keep enemy quarterbacks nervous.

(from Carolina)

The 49ers are thin at cornerback, and Wilson looks like a guy who should be able to come in and compete for a starting job from Day 1.

The Niners have tried to find a complementary back for Frank Gore(notes) for years, and they finally strike gold with Spiller.

Iupati gives the Steelers a talented lineman inside who can win at the point of attack as well as hold up in pass protection.

We're not sure what the future holds for Ben Roethlisberger(notes), but this team needs tough inside blocking on a no-matter-what basis.

Although Pierre-Paul is a little raw, he may have more upside than any other prospect in the draft and is a good value here.

If Dunta Robinson(notes) is as advertised in the Atlanta secondary, Atlanta could be one good edge rusher away from a deep playoff run.

Mathews is a no-nonsense type of runner who has a big frame and impressive burst for his size. He gives the Texans some much-needed thump in the run game.

Wilson will be debited by some teams because he's not very strong in run support. However, he can turn his hips and trail receivers downfield in a way that almost brings Darrelle Revis(notes) to mind.

The Bengals made impressive strides as a defense last season, but a ball-hawking center field-type safety is still a pressing need.

One way the Bengals can establish offensive consistency is to acquire a tight end that can catch the ball consistently, and then run over everyone in his way. Gresham could be a devastating mid-yardage threat in Cincinnati's offense.

Graham is an ideal hybrid pass rusher who has the skill set to instantly improve the Pats’ ability to create pressure off the edge.

Kindle is just the kind of outside disruptor desperately needed by a team whose pass rush has been a problem over the last few years.

Maybe a bit of a surprise here with Maryland product Bruce Campbell still on the board, but I think Brown is a better fit for what the Packers want to do in the run game.

People who are looking at Iupati as a potential left tackle might want to take a step back, but there's no doubt that he brings a devastating combination of size, toughness, and agility to the field.

Pouncey is one of the safest prospects in the draft and has the ability to develop anywhere along the interior of the Eagles offensive line.

The Eagles' defense is built on pressure, and Griffen has the measurables to make that his focus. He's got 4.6 speed at 6-foot-4 and 270 pounds, and enough quickness in pass rush to make a difference.

The Ravens not only have Cody penciled in for a visit, but with the team already addressing its wide receiver needs this offseason, getting an immovable nose tackle at the end of round one is quite a find.

Thomas would be the deep threat to Anquan Boldin's(notes) possession-receiver toughness – he's not route-savvy because he wasn't required to be in Tech's offense, but few receivers in this class are as physical on deep patterns.

Campbell offers the Cardinals a major upgrade at the left tackle position and has the kind of skill set to be as good as he wants to be at the next level.

The Cardinals have various needs, including and edge rusher. Sapp would be an ideal fit as an outside linebacker in a gap control 3-4, which is just what the Cards run these days.

The Cowboys are a bit of a wild card here, but with their need for a center field-type safety and Burnett’s ability to locate and track the football sideline to sideline, the two seem like a good fit.

A good fit here in that Mays reminds me a bit of Ken Hamlin(notes). He's as athletic as you could ever want, but his stiff hips and rough form in space seem to put him as a box safety or hybrid rover.

Best is a much more instinctive runner between the tackles than given credit for and has the ability to quickly take over the running back duties in San Diego if given an opportunity.

No back in this class is more complete than Matthews, a 220-pound inside runner with 4.5 speed, the ability catch, and the willingness to block.

Odrick isn’t the sexiest pick, but the Jets would be thrilled to get a talented five-technique prospect at this stage of the draft.

Tate's combination of running back form in space and toughness in traffic brings a young Steve Smith (Carolina version) to mind.

DT Pat Williams(notes) is starting to get up in age, and Price has the ability to come in and develop as the Vikings’ future nose inside.

Like Ronde Barber(notes), McCourty is an undersized (5-foot-11, 193) cornerback with a twin in the NFL (brother Jason was selected in the sixth round of last year's draft by the Titans), and the football acumen to make a difference at the next level.

We know Colts president Bill Polian loves to draft Big Ten guys, and Saffold has the talent and versatility to play either guard or tackle at the next level.

And after Bill Polian's post-Super Bowl comments about the offensive line's performance, you can expect moves to be made. A former tight end, Brown has the agility and experience in a pro-style offense to meet the Colts' exacting standards.

Hughes is the kind of explosive, versatile athlete who can line up all over Gregg Williams’ defense and would add yet another element to the Saints pass rush.

Weatherspoon has the ability to head downhill against the run, and to drop into coverage, plus the confidence to withstand the pressure of playing a feature role on a defending champion.
