We are now just weeks away from the NFL Draft, and things could not be more exciting. With mock drafts all over the sports pages online, this average college student thought he would take a stab at it. So, without further adieu, here is the first half of the NFL Czar's first round mock draft.

1. St. Louis Rams — Sam Bradford, QB, Oklahoma — The Rams decide that defensive lineman Ndamukong Suh isn't worth the money, and take the franchise quarterback. After wowing coaches at his Pro Day, Bradford has proven that he is capable of leading a team. The only question will be if his shoulder can hold up to NFL hits.

2. Detroit Lions — Russell Okung, OT, Oklahoma St. — The Lions have addressed many needs in free agency and through trades, which takes the defensive tackle position off this board. While they will still consider Suh here, they decide to go with Okung to protect their franchise quarterback Matt Stafford.

3. Tampa Bay Buccaneers — Gerald McCoy, DT, Oklahoma — The Bucs haven't had an interior presence like this since Warren Sapp. McCoy will step in immediately, and help in the Bucs attempt to rebuild their old defence.

4. Washington Redskins — Trent Williams, OT, Oklahoma — The Skins need some major help on the offensive line. They will also be tempted by the suddenly falling Suh, but the needs are far more pressing on the offensive side of the ball.

5. Kansas City Chiefs - Eric Berry, S, Tennessee — Ball-hawking safety will quarterback the Chiefs defence for years. Berry tested very well all around, and should jump right into a starting role.

6. Seattle Seahawks — Ndamukong Suh, DT, Nebraska — New head coach Pete Carroll will love Suh falling this far. Now he can build a defence around him. Suh is a machine, and will surely help in stuffing the run.

7. Cleveland Browns — Jimmy Clausen, QB, Notre Dame - After blowing up this position, the Browns take their QB of the future in Clausen. Clausen is the most NFL-ready QB available, but don't expect him to start right away.

8. Oakland Raiders — Jason Pierre-Paul, DE, South Florida — Pierre-Paul had a great showing at the Combine, something Al Davis covets. He is extremely raw, but has the size and speed to develop into a great player.

9. Buffalo Bills — Brian Baluga, OT, Iowa — With Clausen off the board, the Bills grab a tackle at this spot. After the abrupt retirement of RT Brad Butler, there is no way the Bills can pass on a talent like this if he falls this far.

10. Jacksonville Jaguars — Derrick Morgan, DE, Georgia Tech — The Jags have tried valiantly to build a pass rush over the past few years. While they have failed to do so, Morgan is extremely talented, and should push for playing time right away.

11. Denver Broncos — Dez Bryant, WR, Oklahoma St - Passing on other needs, the Broncos choose to get Bryant to add speed to their passing game.

12. Miami Dolphins — Sergio Kindle, LB, Texas — After missing out on Bryant, the Dolphins fill their next greatest need with the pass-rush specialist Kindle.

13. San Francisco 49ers — Earl Thomas, S, Texas — The Niners haven't had a playmaker like this in the secondary since Tony Parrish. Thomas will be even better.

14. Seattle Seahawks — C.J. Spiller, RB, Clemson — Shocked he falls this far, the Seahawks get an elite talent to pair with Justin Forsett.

15. New York Giants — Rolando McClain, LB, Alabama — After letting Antonio Pierce go, the Giants immediately replace him with McClain.

16. Tennessee Titans — Sean Weatherspoon, LB, Missouri — The Titans need to rebuild their linebacker corps, and Weatherspoon may be the best outside-backer in this draft.

There you have it folks. The rest of round one is up for next week.
