1. Denver Broncos: Andrew Luck, QB, Stanford
During the 2011 NFL Draft, John Elway shared a laugh with newly drafted linebacker Mike Mohamed because he picked someone who went to his collegiate rival. This, however, is a match made in heaven. The Broncos put on a brave face and passed on selecting a quarterback with any of their nine selections. However, another season with more Tim Tebow should make their decision fairly easy.
It is always hard to predict which team is going to have the worst record in football, and if Kyle Orton starts some games or the defense meshes at the end of the season it is easy to see the Broncos picking a handful of spots lower than this.
13. Kansas City Chiefs: Trent Richardson, RB, Alabama
The days of one running back to carry the load are long gone, and the days of two running backs are becoming scarce too. Jamaal Charles was utilized almost perfectly in the 2010 season with 230 carries and 45 receptions. If he is used more than that, his risk of injury will go way up.
Thomas Jones was brought in to chew up some carries and provide toughness. The plan did not work out as expected. Bringing in a player like Trent Richardson who is actually a better prospect than his Heisman-winning backfield mate Mark Ingram, would cure this problem going forward.
