| Pk. | Team | Player | Pos | School | Writer | Comments | Other needs |
| 1. | Oakland Raiders | JaMarcus Russell | QB | LSU | Bill Soliday, Oakland Tribune | Raiders don't have a quarterback and he's clearly No. 1. | RB, WR, OL |
| 2. | Detroit Lions | Joe Thomas | T | Wisconsin | Nicholas Cotsonika, Detroit Free Press | Fits Rod Marinelli's philosophy and the Lions really like him. | DE, MLB |
| 3. | Cleveland Brown | Adrian Peterson | RB | Oklahoma | Pat McManamon, Akron - Beacon Journal |
The Browns have lacked big-time back with speed since 1999. | OL, DL |
| 4. | Tampa Bay Buccaneers | Calvin Johnson | WR | Georgia Tech | Ira Kaufman, Tampa Tribune | This is a no-brainer if he's still on the board. Galloway turns 36 in November and Clayton remains a mystery. | DL |
| 5. | Arizona Cardinals | Jamaal Anderson | DE | Arkansas | Darren Urban, East Valley / Scottsdale Tribune | He plays the run a little better than Gaines Adams. | OL |
| 6. | Washington Redskins | Amobi Okoye | DT | Louisville | David Elfin, Washington Times | They like Anderson but are intrigued by Okoye's upside at age 19. They need an inside presence. | S, DL, TE, WR |
| 7. | Minnesota Vikings | LaRon Landry | S | LSU | Judd Zulgad, Minneapolis Star Tribune | They've made rumblings about Brady Quinn but Vikes like Landry's athleticism a lot and they need youth at S. | WR, DE, OL |
| 8. | Atlanta Falcons | Levi Brown | T | Penn State | Steve Wyche, Atlanta Journal- Constitution |
They'd love Landry at this spot but Bobby Petrino wants to get bigger and younger on the OL. | S, DE, RB |
| 9. | Miami Dolphins | Brady Quinn | QB | Notre Dame | Carl Kotala, Florida Today | Dolphins haven't taken a QB in first round since Dan Marino and they desperately need one. | OL, DL, DB |
| 10. | Houston Texans | Gaines Adams | DE | Clemson | John McClain, Houston Chronicle | Texans are looking for a pure pass rusher to play opposite Mario Williams. | WR, T, FS |
| 11. | San Francisco 49rs | Patrick Willis | LB | Mississippi | Kevin Lynch, San Francisco Chronicle | Niners badly in need of more athleticism at linebacker and Willis fills that need. | DL, S, WR |
| 12. | Buffalo Bills | Marshawn Lynch | RB | California | Mark Gaughan, Buffalo News | They'd love Willis if available but would settle on filling their other big need. | LB, RB |
| 13. | St. Louis Rams | Alan Branch | DT | Michigan | Nick Wagner, stlouisrams.com | Rams run defense are awful and he could fill the void inside. | DL, LB, S |
| 14. | Carolina Panthers | Reggie Nelson | S | Florida | Pat Yasinskas, Charlotte Observer | Could see a receiver here but Panthers don't have any starting safeties. They need some playmakers back there. |
WR, LB, T |
| 15. | Pittsburgh Steelers | Lawrence Timmons | LB | Florida State | Joe Bendel, FoxSportsRadio 970 | Timmons is versatile and in Steelers system where Mike Tomlin takes over as 4-3 coach with 3-4 talent he makes sense. |
WR, CB |
| 16. | Green Bay Packers | Ted Ginn Jr. | WR | Ohio State | Pete Dougherty, Green Bay Press-Gazette | Fills an obvious need for playmakers. | S, CB, RB |
| 17. | Jacksonville Jaguars | Jarvis Moss | DE | Florida | Vito Stellino, Florida Times-Union |
Reggie Hayward is coming off torn Achilles' and Jags could use another pass rusher. | WR, QB |
| 18. | Cincinnati Bengals | Leon Hall | CB | Michigan | Geoff Hobson, Bengals.com | Bengals corner play really fell off last year. O'Neal went from 10 picks to one so they need a running mate for Joseph. | S, DT, LB |
| 19. | Tennessee Titans | Robert Meachem | WR | Tennessee | Jim Wyatt, The Tennessean | In desperate need of a WR after losing Drew Bennett and Bobby Wade. | CB, DE |
| 20. | New York Giants | Paul Posluszny | LB | Penn State | Arthur Staple, Newsday | Versatile player at a position where the Giants have no depth or playmakers. | CB, WR, TE, OL |
| 21. | Denver Broncos | Adam Carriker | DE | Nebraska | Bill Williamson, Denver Post | Broncos badly in need of a pass rusher and Carriker is best on board at this point. | S, OL, DT |
| 22. | Dallas Cowboys | Anthony Spencer | DE | Purdue | Todd Archer, Dallas Morning News | Really struggled putting pressure on passer last year after Greg Ellis went out. Need another rusher to go with DeMarcus Ware. |
WR, S, OL, LB |
| 23. | Kansas City Chiefs | Aaron Ross | CB | Texas | Adam Teicher, Kansas City Star | Chiefs are getting old at corner and the time to replenish is now. | DT, WR |
| 24. | New England Patriots | Michael Griffin | S | Texas | Patriots Football Weekly staff | Playmaking safety fills a big need with Rodney Harrison nearing the end. | CB, LB |
| 25. | New York Jets | Darrelle Revis | CB | Pittsburgh | Dan Leberfeld, Jets Confidential | Jets don't have a No. 1 corner and Mangini likes the flexibility Revis provides. Greg Olsen is a possibility. | TE, WR, OLB |
| 26. | Philadelphia Eagles | Brandon Meriweather | S | Miami | Bob Brookover, Philadelphia Inquirer | Eagles need help in secondary, safety in particular, and need a playmaker back there. | CB, LB, RB |
| 27. | New Orleans Saints | Chris Houston | CB | Arkansas | Mike Triplett, New Orleans Times-Picayune | Fast, man-to-man corner is the biggest need and Houston has a lot of experience doing that. | DT, WR, TE |
| 28. | New England Patriots | Joe Staley | T | Central Michigan | Patriots Football Weekly staff | Offensive line is not necessarily the biggest need but the value is just too good to pass up. | CB, LB |
| 29. | Baltimore Ravens | Arron Sears | T | Tennessee | Jamison Hensley, Baltimore Sun | Ravens lost RT Tony Pashos in FA and need a younger guy for the future. | DL, LB, CB |
| 30. | San Diego Chargers | Anthony Gonzalez | WR | Ohio State | Kevin Acee, San Diego Union-Tribune | Chargers need a receiver and Gonzalez may be the best available at this point. | S, LB, RB |
| 31. | Chicago Bears | Ben Grubbs | G | Auburn | John Mullin, Chicago Tribune | Potential Lance Briggs trade could have a big impact on this draft for Chicago but Grubbs makes sense if Bears stay put. | LB, WR, RB |
| 32. | Indianapolis Colts | Jon Beason | LB | Miami | Patriots Football Weekly staff | Athletic, physical linebacker fits Colts Tampa 2 scheme perfectly | CB, S, DL |
