1. Colts
Andrew Luck, QB, Stanford: Can he one day walk with Johnny Unitas and Peyton Manning as Colts stars?
2. Redskins (from Rams)
Robert Griffin III, QB, Baylor: A breathtaking athlete who might be able to do what Cam Newton did as a rookie.
3. Browns (from Vikings)
Trent Richardson, RB, Alabama: Colt McCoy gets some relief in this three-down beast of a back.
4. Vikings
Matt Kalil, OT, USC: Vikings playbook just got simplified: Adrian Peterson follows Kalil through the hole. Then repeat.
5. Jaguars (from Bucs)
Justin Blackmon, WR, Oklahoma State: Memo to defenses: Put eight in the box against Maurice Jones-Drew at your own peril.
6. Cowboys (from Rams)
Morris Claiborne, CB, LSU: Rex’s brother Rob might stop twitching when he sees Eli Manning drop to pass. Might.
7. Bucs (from Jaguars)
Mark Barron, S, Alabama: Former Rutgers coach Greg Schiano gets a player in his own image — tough, nasty, plays through pain.
8. Dolphins
Ryan Tannehill, QB, Texas A&M: Thought the NBA draft was the one that was all about potential.
9
. Panthers
Luke Kuechly, LB, Boston College: Has a built-in GPS for the ball and the speed to go get it.
10. Bills
Stephon Gilmore, CB, South Carolina: Bills are lions up front and lambs in the backfield.
11. Chiefs
Dontari Poe, DT, Memphis: This pick says Romeo Crennel is a defensive line coach at heart.
12. Eagles (from Seahawks)
Fletcher Cox, DT, Mississippi State: The dream team was a nightmare on defense, especially up the gut.
13. Cardinals
Michael Floyd, WR, Notre Dame: Finally someone to take the pressure off Larry Fitzgerald.
14. Rams (from Cowboys)
Michael Brockers, DT, LSU: Sam Bradford must be wondering, “Can he catch passes?”
15. Seahawks (from Eagles)
Bruce Irvin, DE, West Virginia: Shocker. Not many had this pass-rush specialist going this high.

6. Jets
Quinton Coples, DE, North Carolina: Gang Green might have had the best end in the draft fall to them.
17. Bengals
Dre Kirkpatrick, CB, Alabama: Cincy got great results with NFL-ready QB Andy Dalton; hope for the same with this NFL-ready corner.
18. Chargers
Melvin Ingram. DE, South Carolina: Any and all help on defense is welcomed, especially a versatile end with speed.
19. Bears
Shea McClellin, OLB, Boise State: Ever heard of a guy named Brian Urlacher, came out of a non-BCS school?
20. Titans
Kendall Wright, WR, Baylor: If Kenny Britt can stay out of trouble, he and Wright are a dynamic duo.
21. Patriots (from Bengals)
Chandler Jones, DE, Syracuse: Another smart, versatile player that Bill Belichick can play in multiple formations.
22. Browns
Brandon Weeden, QB, Oklahoma State: A brilliant pick. If Colt McCoy doesn’t take the next step, the 28-year-old Weeden is mature enough to step in.
23. Lions
Riley Reiff, OT, Iowa: First Commandment: Thou Shalt Protect Matt Stafford.
24. Steelers
David DeCastro, OG, Stanford: Wouldn’t it be nice for Steelers fans if Big Ben didn’t finish the season in a walking boot.
25 Patriots (from Broncos)
Dont’a Hightower, LB, Alabama: Deja vu. Another versatile defender that Belichick can play in multiple formations.
26 Texans
Whitney Mericlus, DE, Illinois: They lost Mario Williams in free agency, but hey, no pressure, kid.
27. Bengals (from Saints via Patriots)
Kevin Zeitler, OG, Wisconsin: Andy Dalton gets added protection to help avoid the sophomore jinx.
28. Packers
Nick Perry DE, USC: Joy in Titletown as this pass-rushing athletic freak falls to the Pack.
29. Vikings (from Ravens)
Harrison Smith, S, Notre Dame: Minnesota just added a safety and a coach.
30. 49ers
A.J. Jenkins, WR, Illinois: Makes you wonder if Michael Crabtree is ever going to pan out.
31 Bucs (from Patriots via Broncos)
Doug Martin, RB, Boise State: Some thought Bucs would take Richardson, but Martin is a power back.
32. Giants
David Wilson, RB, Virginia Tech: Could be another coup for GM Jerry Reese. Wilson was elite until getting injured.
