- —Indianapolis Colts—Andrew Luck, QB, Stanford. No surprise here, as the Colts have already made their selection known. Luck is the best QB prospect to come along since either Peyton Manning or John Elway, depending on who you ask.
- —St. Louis Rams (traded to Washington Redskins)—Robert Griffin III, QB, Baylor. No surprise here either. With Luck officially becoming the No. 1 overall pick, the Redskins get their man in RG3.
- —Minnesota Vikings (traded to Cleveland Browns)—Trent Richardson, RB, Alabama. With the departure of Peyton Hillis in free agency, running back was a huge need for the Browns.
- —Cleveland Browns (traded to Minnesota Vikings)—Matt Kalil, OT, USC. With the drafting of the quarterback Christian Ponder last year, the Vikings get the top offensive lineman in the draft to protect their investment.
