This mock draft gives a brief overview of what the chatter is within NFL front offices at this time and also looks at where players' stock is currently lying within the league. From talking to many people around the league, this should give you a good idea of how things are currently shaping up for the first round. 

1.Cleveland Browns 
LaVar Arrington LB Penn State
The Browns have been intrigued with the possibility of flanking Jamir Miller with Arrington for a couple months. But their intrigue could become reality with Arrington's workout. 

2.New York Jets (from Washington Redskins through New Orleans) 
Courtney Brown DE Penn State 
Normally we wouldn't do this, but we will show you how the draft would fall out if the Jets-Redskins trade goes through. Brown would give the Jets an impact defensive player who will command a lot of attention upfront and give life to the Jets pass rush. 

3. Washington Redskins (from San Francisco) 
Chris Samuels OT Alabama 
Championship teams need a solid left tackle. You can't get more solid than with Samuels who is fluid in pass protection and shows ability as a run blocker. 

4.Cincinnati Bengals 
Peter Warrick WR Florida State
Warrick is a no-brainer for the Bengals as they look to help Akili Smith and the passing game develop. Warrick gives the Bengals many options in the passing game. 

5.Baltimore Ravens (from Atlanta) 
Travis Taylor WR Florida 
The Ravens would love to trade down here, but if they are stuck, Taylor is their man. Taylor is a very polished receiver with good speed. 

6.Philadelphia Eagles 
Corey Simon DT Florida State 
The Eagles biggest priority outside of finding a play-maker on offense is finding a interior defender who can provide pressure. Simon fits that role, but if the Eagles have questions regarding his health, they could trade down for Bubba Franks or Jerry Porter. 

7.Arizona Cardinals 
Thomas Jones RB Virginia
The Cardinals are praying for Jones to remain on the board here as they look to upgrade their run game. If Jones is off the board, they could opt for Jamal Lewis, Brian Urlacher, or trade down. 

8.Pittsburgh Steelers 
Brian Urlacher LB New Mexico 
Burress could be the obvious target, but character comes into question here. Urlacher would become a leader on defense at some point and the Steelers need more leaders. 

9.Chicago Bears 
Plaxico Burress WR Michigan State 
Urlacher would be a major consideration if he is on the board, but Burress is just too hard to pass up because his physical skills create interesting matchups in the passing game. 

10.Denver Broncos 
Chad Pennington QB Marshall
The organization is having more concerns about their future at quarterback and Mike Shanahan is intrigued by the intangibles of Pennington. Pennington is a smart guy who would fit in well as he gains better accuracy and would bring much needed leadership to the Broncos. 

11.New York Giants 
Ron Dayne RB Wisconsin 
The Giants love big backs, but also are looking for more explosiveness on offense. Though Dayne could be too tough to pass up as a ball control back. Alabama's Shaun Alexander is still a consideration. 

12. San Francisco 49ers (from Washington through Carolina)
Darren Howard DE Kansas State 
The 49ers would like to generate more pressure from the defensive edge next season. Howard would be a great fit to play the 49er old elephant type scheme although Howard would be a reach here. 

13.Tampa Bay Buccaneers (from San Diego) 
Jerry Porter WR West Virginia 
The Bucs need more weapons in their passing game for next season. Porter has the physical tools they want at the position now. 

14.Green Bay Packers 
Shaun Ellis DE Tennessee 
The front seven is a priority for the Packers as they could stop the run last season and their pass rush lacked enough juice. Ellis can help replenish lost numbers over the past year. 

15.Baltimore Ravens 
Jamal Lewis RB Tennessee 
The Ravens love Lewis, who is a solid runner with good size and he also has a good feel for the passing game. 

16. Washington Redskins (From New York Jets through New England) 
Keith Bulluck LB Syracuse 
If the trade goes through, Syracuse's Keith Bulluck is their target if he is still on the board. Bulluck would add some juice to a vanilla linebacking corps. 

17.Oakland Raiders 
Dez White WR Georgia Tech 
Wide receiver is one of the biggest holes for the Raiders as they look to develop their passing game. White has the size that Jon Gruden wants and has the tools to develop into a play-maker. 

18.New York Jets 
Daniel Franks TE Miami 
They would like a receiver to replace Johnson if they trade him, but tight end is a major hole in the passing game. They Jets would Franks and would have no objections towards adding him to the roster. 

19.Seattle Seahawks 
Rob Morris LB Brigham Young
While the Seahawks have a few holes on offense, they still have a lot of holes on defense. Morris would bring some toughness on defense and would plug up holes in their run defense. 

20.Detroit Lions 
Shaun Alexander RB Alabama
Although the Lions signed James Stewart, they still need depth and insurance behind him. Alexander would be a solid option in the Lions offense, especially in the passing game. 

21.Kansas City Chiefs 
Ahmed Plummer CB Ohio State 
The Chiefs would like a big corner with toughness, but they need a young corner who can cover. Plummer isn't a play-maker yet, but is a steady cover guy. If the right runner or receiver falls to them, the Chiefs will likely go in that direction. 

22.Seattle Seahawks 
Chris Hovan DT Boston College
The Seahawks lost some numbers on the defensive line and need some help replenishing it. Hovan would bring some quickness and toughness upfront. 

23.Carolina Panthers (from Miami) 
John Abraham LB South Carolina 
The Panthers hope to replace the production they lost at linebacker from Kevin Greene. Lee Woodall can do more things, but he is not the pass rusher Greene was. 

24. San Francisco 49ers (from Washington)
Rashard Anderson CB Jackson State 
The 49ers continue their intrigue with Anderson who is on the raw side, but has a lot of upside due to his size and athletic ability. 

25.Minnesota Vikings 
Ike Charlton CB Virginia Tech 
Its no secret what the Vikings need. Charlton would give the club a physical corner with size and someone with a feel for zone coverage. 

26.Buffalo Bills
John Engelberger DE Virginia Tech 
The Bills are looking to replenish depth on defense at cornerback and along the defensive line. Engelberger has the attitude the Bills want on defense and would help recover some pass rush potential lost from Bruce Smith's release. 

27.Tampa Bay Buccaneers
Stockar McDougle OT Oklahoma
The Buccaneers need more numbers on the offensive line and McDougle also has the size and physical skills to help the club dominate the point of attack. 

28.Indianapolis Colts
Julian Peterson LB Michigan State
The club would like to have Rob Morris or Chris Hovan, but Peterson is a fallback option if he is still on the board here. 

29.Jacksonville Jaguars
Travis Claridge OG Southern California
The Jaguars need to make their Super Bowl run next season, but can't until they add toughness upfront on offense. Claridge could help stabilize the offensive line next season and bring a needed attitude adjustment upfront. 

30.Tennessee Titans 
Todd Pinkston WR Southern Mississippi
The Titans need some diversity in the passing game. Many teams are high on Pinkston, who is a very reliable option in the passing game. 

31.St. Louis Rams 
Marvel Smith OT Arizona State
The Rams could option for someone like teammate Erik Flowers, but tackle is more of an immediate need at this time. Smith is a highly rated lineman who brings solid depth and insurance.
