Well, considering we'll have somewhere close to the last Pick (Green Bay Packers) this is hard, but maybe we could trade up, I would want either Sedrick Ellis or James Laurinaitis for the Green Bay Defense.
The fact of the Matter is that in the Post Favre era in Green Bay Aaron Rodgers seems like he will be able to be a Field General and make it work on offense especially with his squad of WR's and emerging backs in Wynn, Grant, and to a lesser extent Brandon Jackson... The O-Line is getter better, and the offense will be able to carry its own even without Favre, we all seen that is Dallas... If it were not for a few BOGUS calls that game would have been won by Rodgers. So, any offensive player, with the exception of maybe a tight end (Fred Davis, TE, USC), is a waste of a draft pick.
So, what you do is you again draft a defensive player with the first pick... If Sedrick or James were available, or if it were possible to trade up for them I'd take Ellis because Sedrick Ellis is a classic 3 technique who can be disruptive in the middle and perhaps more importantly he also has the type of character and intangibles that this franchise cause use very well.
or
Carrying a grade very similar to Hawk's when he was coming out, Laurinaitis is a well-rounded linebacker with great intangibles and he could easily come off the board in the Top 10 overall, but if Green Bay can steal him he can be moved to the outside to start over Brady Poppinga and this would likely give Green Bay one of the Better Linebacker groups in the NFL...
What you do if your Green Bay is you improve an already pretty impressive defense.

For the Chiefs I would take Jake Long, if he was still available. If not him then I would Ohue (I think thats his name) from Ole Miss - assuming he enters the draft early. The Chiefs need someone that can anchor that o-line badly. In the second and third round, I'd be looking for the best CB available (Law and Surtain have both lost a step and aren't the pro bowl caliber players they used to be) and another o-lineman.

As a Seahawks fan I would draft either an Offensive Lineman or Running Back with my first pick in the draft.
If it were a lineman I would go with somebody from Navy, Air Force, Arkansas, West Virginia or illinois. They had the top rushing offenses in I-A last year so they must have some pretty good offensive lineman.
If I was going to pick a running back I would go with Matt Forte from Tulane, Michael Hart from Michigan, Anthony Aldridge from Houston, Jalen Parmele from Toledo or Kalvin McRae from Ohio.

As a Steeler fan, I would want a a WR that can get open. Next I would want some new O-lineman that can actually pass protect (Jags D against Pit looked like S*** pouring thru a tin horn). Then I'd try to find some D-lineman that can pass rush.
Also, a bigger RB to compliment or even take over for Willie Parker.

As a Jaguars fan, I think our 2 biggest needs are DE and WR. Drafting fairly late, the best 2 obvious choices at that time in the first round would be Derrick Harvey (Florida- DE) , Calais Campbell (Miami- DE), or Early Doucet (LSU-WR).

As an Eagles fan I would draft a quality WR, and big brusing RB and then O line. It is a little early to fill in the names, but those are the needs as I see them.

Dallas needs the best available corners. Not sure who thats gonna be being they will draft late. I still think they have something in MB3 but it wouldnt hurt to take another bruising running back.

I would go after McFadden. Top anylists say players like him only come around once every ten years, so even if I didn't need him, I would get him and then maybe trade off for a bunch of what I needed.
