Here is one way the first round may go in Thursday’s NFL draft. We'll offer a final mock draft on Thursday.

1. St. Louis Rams … QB Sam Bradford, Oklahoma

Complex ownership situation may keep Rams from signing him before the draft.

2. Detroit Lions … OT Russell Okung, Oklahoma State

Lions need longtime solution for protecting second-year QB Matthew Stafford.

3. Tampa Bay Buccaneers … DT Gerald McCoy, Oklahoma

McCoy fits the Bucs’ scheme better than Ndamukong Suh.

4. Washington … OT Trent Williams, Oklahoma

Sooner State rocks in the first round of the draft.

5. Kansas City Chiefs … DT Ndamukong Suh, Nebraska

Another defensive lineman? Suh will anchor the 3-4 defense.

6. Seattle Seahawks … OT Bryan Bulaga, Iowa

Bulaga ends the run of five straight Big 12 players taken.

7. Cleveland Browns … S Eric Berry, Tennessee

Browns will get QB (like Colt McCoy) in the second round.

8. Oakland Raiders … RB C.J. Spiller, Clemson

Al Davis can’t resist a speedy playmaker.

9. Buffalo Bills … OT Anthony Davis, Rutgers

Bills allowed 46 sacks in 2009.

10. Jacksonville Jaguars … DE Derrick Morgan, Georgia Tech

Jaguars had only 14 sacks last season.

11. Denver Broncos (from Chicago) … WR Dez Bryant, Oklahoma State

Broncos trade one headache (Brandon Marshall) for another.

12. Miami Dolphins … DT Dan Williams, Tennessee

Dolphins have their nose tackle for a decade.

13. San Francisco 49ers … CB Joe Haden, Florida

Athletic Haden will be an upgrade for a mediocre secondary.

14. Seattle Seahawks (from Denver) … QB Jimmy Clausen

Pete Carroll may have to trade up for his quarterback of the future.

15. New York Giants … MLB Rolando McClain, Alabama

Captain of national champion steps in for Antonio Pierce

16. Tennessee Titans … DE Jason Pierre-Paul, South Florida

Titans see him as second coming of Jevon Kearse

17 San Francisco 49ers (from Carolina) … OT Bruce Campbell, Maryland

He stole the show at the Combine with 4.8 40, and 34 reps in bench press.

18. Pittsburgh Steelers … CB Kyle Wilson, Boise State

Steelers corners made just two interceptions in 2009.

19. Atlanta Falcons … OLB Brandon Graham, Michigan

Falcons need a push in their pass rush.

20. Houston Texans … S Earl Thomas, Texas

Ball-hawking safety probably won’t last this long.

21. Cincinnati Bengals … TE Jermaine Gresham, Oklahoma

Chase Coffman didn’t step up to seize this job.

22. New England Patriots … LB Sergio Kindle, Texas

He fits the prototype of a versatile Patriots linebacker.

23. Green Bay Packers … CB Kareem Jackson, Alabama

Age is creeping up on Packers cornerbacks.

24. Philadelphia Eagles … CB Devin McCourty, Rutgers

Departure of Sheldon Brown opens a spot in the lineup.

25. Baltimore Ravens … DT Jared Odrick, Penn State

Odrick fits perfectly in the Ravens' 3-4 scheme.

26. Arizona Cardinals … LB Sean Weatherspoon, Missouri

Replacements for Karlos Dansby and Chike Okeafor are needed.

27. Dallas Cowboys … OT Charles Brown, USC

He’ll step in for the recently released Flozell Adams

28. San Diego Chargers … RB Ryan Mathews, Fresno State

It’s time to move on without LaDainian Tomlinson

29. New York Jets … DE Everson Griffen, USC

Rex Ryan will love turning this guy loose.

30. Minnesota Vikings …CB Patrick Robinson, Florida State

Injuries at corner make this a priority for Vikings.

31. Indianapolis Colts … G Mike Iupati, Idaho

Colts hope he can fill the shoes of Ryan Lilja.

32. New Orleans Saints …. OLB Jerry Hughes, TCU

Hybrid pass rusher will flourish under coordinator Gregg Williams.
