Things could not possibly work out any better for the Detroit Lions. The Lions have been searching for a top notch number one corner for years, and Amukamara fits this mold to a tee. If Amukamara does fall into the 13th slot the Lions will waste no time making this no brainer selection, and finally filling one of the biggest holes on either side of the ball.
14. St. Louis Rams: Corey Liuget. DT. Illinois
If the Rams had their dream pick they would be able to take a top notch receiver to give Sam Bradford the solid go to guy which he needs so badly. Unfortunately for St. Louis, both Jones and Green are already off the board, and it's still way to early to reach for another WR like Hankerson (Miami), Baldwin (Pitt.) or Young (Boise). Liuget has got to be one the top players on the board left for the Rams and he would also fulfill a pressing team need upfront in the middle of their D.
15. Miami Dolphins: Mike Pouncey. OG/C. Florida
All of the hype around this pick is that Miami is leaning towards Alabama running back Mark Ingram. While Ricky Williams and Ronnie Brown are both free agents, I really can't see both of them leaving Miami. Why would they want too? They single handedly started the "wild-cat" craze throughout all of football, and both backs have seen great success when healthy. By drafting Pouncey the Phins can give Jake Long some much needed help and bulk up their o-line quite a bit. The only problem is that Pouncey may be available 5-10 picks deeper in the draft, and Miami should look to trade down, save themselves some cash, and get him as late as possible.
16. Jacksonville Jaguars: Cameron Jordan. DE. California
One of the Jags biggest need is a pass rushing end, and Jordan is probably the best player all around on the board at this point. Seems like a match made in heaven to me. Jordan is big, strong, and quick, and if you want to compete in the AFC South you have to get at QB's like Peyton Manning and Matt Schaub and apply as much pressure as possible.
