Will Matt Ryan tumble in the first round, like Matt Leinhart, Aaron Rodgers and Brady Quinn did in recent years?

It is Showtime. This is an attempt to get the exact order of the picks, including trades, rather than the specific team. Grab the popcorn and the six pack, and lets get on with it.

For the first time since 1991, there is not any clear player or two ahead of the field. Then it was a weak field; here it is the opposite. Miami has already signed Jake Long to a below-market deal. All the top four-six picks will be overpaid, so trades are unlikely. After that, its open season.

1.       Dolphins – Jake Long OT (Michigan) It's a done deal. Miami gets a leader as well as a player.

2.       Rams – Vernon Gholston DE (Ohio State) This is a close call over Glen Dorsey. Dorsey would really shake things up.

3.       Falcons – Glenn Dorsey DT (LSU) If he goes to St. Louis, Atlanta will be hard pressed to avoid reaching for Matt Ryan.

4.       Raiders – Darren McFadden RB (Arkansas) If Gholston is here, he is an option. Neither would be a need pick, but Al Davis loves athletes, and these are the elite pair in the draft.

5.       Chiefs – Chris Long DE (Virginia) With the trade of Jared Allen to Minnesota, DE is now a thin area, plus he is the best player available. Vernon Gholston also works here. If both are gone, the team has no clear direction.

6.       Jets – Matt Ryan QB (Boston College) This is no reach. The Jets are hoping for McFadden or Gholston, or they could draft their top CB. This pick is an admission that Kellen Clemons is not the answer.

7.       Patriots – Sedrick Ellis DT (Southern Cal) This selection is possible for the Patriots, but also a trade with New Orleans. Cincinnati is ready to grab Ellis at #9 if the Saints do not trade up

8.       Ravens – Ryan Clady OT (Boise State) The Ravens would love to have Matt Ryan still on the board, and it is possible. Most likely they would have to trade up.

9.       Bengals – Leodis McKelvin CB (Troy) Best Defensive Player Available. Sedrick Ellis is their first choice. Another direction would be Brandon Albert or Kieth Rivers.

10.   Saints –  Keith Rivers LB (Southern Cal) There is a good chance the Patriots pick here, and take the same player. LB is the unappreciated position in this draft.

11.   Bills –  Devin Thomas WR (Michigan State) The Bills are a bad fit in this slot, but Thomas is not the reach he recently seemed to be. They would like to trade down a little, but not too far.

12.   Broncos – Derrick Harvey DE (Florida) Denver rarely takes skill players this high, and never offensive linemen. That is why both are “need” areas. But so is pass rush.

13.   Panthers –   Rashard Mendenhall RB (Illinois) This is a great value pick. After all the teams line up for defensive players, Carolina gets a steal.

14.   Bears – Branden Albert OG (Virginia) The Bears would look hard at Rashard Mendenhall, while Chris Williams and Jeff Otah are in the running, but Albert wins the beauty contest.

15.   Lions – Dominique Rodgers-Cromartie CB (Tennessee State) Detroit would love to get DCR, Harvey or Mendenhall here. If they sit still, a good value at a need position will fall to them.

16.   Cardinals – Jonathan Stewart RB (Oregon) Look for the Cardinals to try to move up, especially if either Stewart or Mendenhall get selected before Detroit.

17.   Chiefs – Chris Williams OT (Vanderbilt) Part of the Jared Allen compensation. Kansas City will be thrilled if any of the five LTs make it this far. A trade up is very possible.

18.   Texans –  Phillip Merling DE (Clemson) Jeff Otah is also very possible. CB and WR are both possible.

19.   Eagles – Jeff Otah OT (Pittsburgh) Otah will help their running game from day one. Philadelphia almost annually invests a high pick in one line or the other. They love this one.

20.   Buccaneers – Chris Johnson RB (East Carolina) It is hard to believe that more is not made of his speed. Tampa Bay needs speed badly. A WR, or help for the aging defense are possible.

21.   Redskins –   Mike Jenkins CB (South Florida) This would be a nice scenario for Washington. Jenkins is both value and need. Antoine Cason, Calais Campbell or a WR are also possible.

22.   Cowboys –  Felix Jones RB (Arkansas) RB is not a glaring need, so there will be time to work him into the rotation. Jones brings speed to the backfield and can return kicks. Plus he's a Razorback.

23.    Steelers – Jerod Mayo LB (Tennessee) Pittsburgh always seems to have good LBs.  They would love Merling or a LT. Kentwan Balmer is also possible

24.   Titans – Antoine Cason CB (Arizona) This is a safe pick. Cason started every game in his college career.  Balmer or James Hardy are alternatives

25.   Seahawks – Dustin Keller TE (Purdue)  This is a need pick, but not a long stretch. Brian Brohm or Chad Henne are possible, either in house or by trade.

26.   Jaguars – Kentwan Balmer DT (North Carolina) Jacksonville needs a DT, and Balmer is starting to slide.

27.   Chargers – Gosder Cherilus OT (Boston College) San Diego is one of the better value drafting teams in the league, and very unpredictable. Almost anything is possible.

28.   Dallas – Aqib Talib CB (Kansas) Kenny Phillips is also likely. Talib is a tweener and a zone CB, neither of which fit Dallas, but he is a playmaker. Trading down for a team wanting a QB is also likely.

29.   49'ers – Brian Brohm QB (Louisville) By this point he is sliding. Any of the last three or four picks could be traded to pick Brohm or Henne.

30.   Packers – Calais Campbell DE (Miami) Quentin Groves is possible, as  are Malcolm Kelly or Kenny Phillips.

31.   Giants – Curtis Lofton LB (Oklahoma) The Giants rarely trade. Lofton could start in the middle for them into the 20's.
