Parting ways with Willis McGahee leaves a huge hole in the Buffalo backfield. Luckily for the Bills, no one in the top-11 needed a running back, which allowed for Oklahoma’s Adrian Peterson to fall into their lap. With Peterson in Buffalo, the Bills have a running game to build around for years to come.

The Rams can score touchdowns with the best of them, but they can also allow more than they score. Last year, the Rams selected Tye Hill with their first round pick, and he was a major contributor this past season. St. Louis may add to their secondary with this selection, but with Ole Miss linebacker Patrick Willis available, he’s the obvious choice.

Levi Brown

The Panthers are known for having a quality defense every year, but injuries seem to always pull them down. Adding help in the secondary and at linebacker will help the defense, but providing protection on the offensive line is a greater need. Penn State’s Levi Brown is the selection, and he gives the Panthers a formidable tackle tandem with Jordan Gross already on board.

Darrelle Revis

Pittsburgh

Jr.

The release of Joey Porter sent shock waves through the Pittsburgh fan base. Finding a suitable replacement to produce the numbers Porter posted each year will be difficult. There are plenty of quality linebackers on the board, but adding a defensive back will help the defense tremendously. Pitt’s Darrelle Revis proved his critics wrong during his pro-day and will now star for the Steelers.
