Rolando McClain, LB, Alabama

Run support has been the bane of the Raiders existence for quite a while. And while some blame falls on the defensive tackles, equal blame goes to the linebackers. There hasn't been an answer at strong side linebacker for a long time and Kirk Morrison may not be best suited for the middle linebacker spot. McClain can play either spot which means that he could play strong side until he is ready to step into the middle linebacker role. Not to mention he was a huge factor for the National Champion Alabama Crimson Tide. That always sits well with Al Davis.

Oakland Raiders 2010 Offensive Needs

9. Buffalo Bills

Brian Bulaga, OT, Iowa

The Bills lost their starting left tackle last offseason and their plan to move Langston Walker over from the right tackle spot failed miserably. They are desperate for a stalwart at the position and Brian Bulaga is the best at the position still on the board.

10. Denver Broncos(from Chicago)

Dez Bryant*, WR, Oklahoma State

The Broncos are looking to trade problem-child Brandon Marshall and after not getting what they wanted for him last yearonly tohave him continue to throw temper tantrums, their asking price has likely gone down considerably. They will be looking to replace his production on the field and they get the best receiver in the draft to do it.

11. Jacksonville Jaguars

Derrick Morgan*, DE, Georgia Tech

The Jags are not striking fear in many quarterbacks these days. Mainly because there isn't any threat of the rush from the end position. The take the first defensive end off the board to try and remedy that.

12. Miami Dolphins

Golden Tate*, WR, Notre Dame

When Ted Ginn Jr is your number one receiver, you have problems. He is a fine return man but he is not the deep threat this team needs and he drops the ball far too often. They have a slew of possession and slot receivers in Greg Camarillo, Devon Bess and Brian Hartline. Now they need that guy to stretch the field.

13. San Francisco 49ers

Earl Thomas*, S, Texas

The 49ers weakest position on defense is the safety position. Neither Dashon Goldson or Michael Lewis have been able play well consistently. Earl Thomas was thought by many to be the best safety in college football last season. His ball hawking and hitting skills were a major factor in Texas making it to the National Championship game.

14. Seattle Seahawks(from Denver)

CJ Spiller, RB, Clemson

The Seahawks spent the greater part of last season trying to find a temporary fix at the running back spot to go along with Julius Jones. Nothing seemed to work. CJ Spiller is an amazing talent and he is too intriguing to pass up. The Seahawks will be ecstatic that he is still on the board.

15. New York Giants

Brandon Spikes, ILB, Florida

On a team whose life force is in their linebacker play,it is no wonder they slipped a little last season. After losing some key players after their Super Bowl run, they have never made up for those losses. On top of that Antonio Pierce may be reaching the end of his career. This unit needs some youth injected into it stat.

16. San Francisco 49ers(from Carolina)

Trent Williams, OT, Oklahoma

With the left tackle position held down by Joe Staley, this pick is to fill the right tackle position. Trent Williams locked down the right tackle position for the Sooners since half way through his freshman season. So, yeah, he would be the perfect choice.

17. Tennessee Titans

Jason Pierre-Paul, DE, South Florida

Despite Kyle Vanden Bosch receiving an undeserving invitation to the Pro Bowl as an alternate, the Titans don't have much to speak of as far as a pass rush. Two seasons ago, the combination of Vanden Bosch and Travis Laboy was a potent one. But Laboy moved on and with Albert Haynseworth signing with Washington, the Titans were suddenly exposed. Jason Pierre-Paul is arguably the best defensive end on the board.

18. Pittsburgh Steelers

Bruce Campbell, OT, Maryland

Ben Roethlisberger was running for his life all season long and it became clear that the Steelers need an immediate upgrade at the offensive tackle spot. Max Starks has not panned out as well as they had hoped as the full-time starter. Campbell is the last of the top offensive tackle prospects. After him, there is a bit of a drop off in talent so they should not pass him up.

19. Atlanta Falcons

Carlos Dunlap*, DE, Florida

There is no questioning Dunlap's talent andheisa great pick at this spot. The Falcons weakarealast yearwas their lack of a pass rush. It hampered the efforts of the rest of the team all season. Dunlap could come in immediately and bring pressureon the edge.

20. Houston Texans

Brian Price, DT, UCLA

Price was the steadfast anchor in the middle of that line for the Bruins. Which is just what the Texans are lacking. Their offense was great but their defense could not keep opposing offenses off the field. Price could offer the run stopping ability they are sorely lacking.

21. Cincinnati Bengals

Dan Williams, DT, Tennessee

Last offseason the Bengals were one of the few suitorsfor Cowboys' cast-off Tank Johnson. They have been desperate for a dependable body to hold down the middle of the defensive line and they find it in Dan Williams.

22. New England Patriots

Sergio Kindle, DE/OLB, Texas

The big free agent signing of Adalius Thomas has not quite worked out the way they had hoped. This team only has one solid linebacker in Jerrod Mayo. They consider themselves lucky that the best "tweener" in this draft is still on the board when it is their turn.

23. Green Bay Packers

Perrish Cox, CB, Oklahoma State

Initially there didn't appear to be a corner that was worth a pick at this spot. But then Perrish Cox dominated throughout the Senior Bowl practices and with a definate need at corner, the Packers take notice. Cox was slated as a mid second round pick prior to the Senior Bowl and now he stands to make the biggest jump of all the prospects. The Packers can certainly use a player with his talent too. With their playoff loss to the Cardinals in which they gave up 51 points,there is no more evidence necessary to show they need some serious help in the secondary. This team also needs an offensive tackle, but there isn't one on the board that is worthy of this pick.

24. Philadelphia Eagles

Navorro Bowman*, LB, Penn State

The Eagles finished the season at 11-5 but almost all of those eleven wins were against sub .500 teams. The loss that hurt the most was the last game of the season against the Cowboys. Because it meant they would lose the NFC East and had to play the Cowboys in Dallas in the first round; a game they would lose. The culprit was defense. The Eagles need a few positions but none more than linebacker. Bowman happens to be the best player on the board here and toss in that he played for Penn state, and the choice is obvious.

25. Baltimore Ravens

Jermaine Gresham, TE, Oklahoma

Todd Heap is not what he once was. He has been battling injuries the past few seasons and he has never been able to get back to his Pro Bowl form. It is time to bring in his replacement and Germaine Gresham becomes the first tight end off the board in this draft.

26. Arizona Cardinals

Aaron Hernandez, TE, Florida

Right after the first tight end comes off the board, the next one goes. The Cardinals haven't had a solid tight end for a long time. Many will argue that Hernandez is the best tight end in this draft. The Cards likely have a great deal of interest in University of Arizona TE Rob Gronkowski but he may be a reach at this spot and will likely be gone by their next pick.So there is always the possibility of a trade down.

27. Dallas Cowboys

Taylor Mays, S, USC

The Cowboys thought they had their long-time franchise safety in Roy Williams but that dream ended before last season. Actually, it seemed to have ended right about the time that they added the horse collar tackle as a penalty because of him. They haven't been able to replace him ever since and the take another shot at it by drafting hard hitting safety Taylor Mays.

28. San Diego Chargers

Jared Odrick, DT, Penn State

Jamal Williams has battled injuries every season the last few years and was out nearly the entirety of last season. His future is far from certain and the Chargers need someone to give him some plays off during games. While they would like to bring in a running back with LaDainian Tomlinson looking like he may have reached the endof his career in San Diego, defensive tackle is far more crucial. And with Odrick looking dominant during Senior Bowl practices, he cements himself as the perfect choice here.

29. New York Jets

Ricky Sapp, DE/LB, Clemson

The Jets like the 3-4 and they play it quite well. Now they can start upgrading some of the positions like outside linebacker.

30. Minnesota Vikings

Jimmy Clausen*, QB, Notre Dame

Brett Favre says that it is "highly unlikely" he will be back next year. Which in Favre speak means "highly likely". But whether he comes back or not, will not effect their need to draft a quarterback. Clausen could benefit from a season backing up Favre the same way Aaron Rodgers did in Green Bay. And if Favre does actually retire, Clausen could compete with Sage Rosenfels for the starting job. He has worked in a pro system at Notre Dame and many scouts think that he has the potential to be special. If the Vikings don't agree, I still say they get a quarterback. It would just be Colt McCoy instead.

31. Indianapolis Colts

Brandon Graham, DE, Michigan

There are many positions that the Colts could address here and defensive end is one of those postions that could use an upgrade. Brandon Graham finished up a fantastic week of Senior Bowl practices with an equally impressive Senior Bowl game. If he wasn't already on the radar, he sure is now.His talent is obvious, and the Colts have all the proof they need to take himat thisspot and be extremely excited about it.

32. New Orleans Saints

Bruce Carter, OLB, North Carolina

The Saints have been lauded for their good defense all season long. But most of that credit has gone to the coaches for making the best of what they had available. At outside line backer, they are a little thin. Jonathan Vilma is great but after him, it gets pretty sparce. Scott Fujita and Scott Shanle don't inspire a great deal of confidence. They may have beat the Colts in the Super Bowl but they also gave up a lot of catches to Dallas Clark becauseof their weakness at outside linebacker.They look to bolster that group with the addition of Bruce Carter with the final pick of the first round.
