Jimmy Clausen may have been a solid college quarterback, however he's just not a starting quality quarterback in the NFL.Andrew Luck is far too good of a prospect to pass up on.Luck has turned around the Stanford Cardinal, and there's a heck of a chance he'll do the same with the Panthers.2.Cincinnati Bengals: Cameron Newton, Tissot T60158132 Watch Quarterback, AuburnKevin C.Cox/Getty ImagesWhile I'm not completely sold on Cameron Newton, his talent is evident.I'm just not sure if that will equate to him being a great professional.That being said, Carson Palmer's days with the Cincinnati Bengals are seriously numbered.
His terrible showing this year could force the Bengals to part ways with the former Heisman trophy winner.Cam Newton is a great kid with tremendous skills.Soon, many will be on his bandwagon.3.Denver Broncos: Patrick Peterson, replicaTissotT60158132 Cornerback, LSUChris Graythen/Getty ImagesThe Denver Broncos are going to struggle for years to come if their defense plays the way it has this year.Changes need to be made for Denver.After losing Elvis Dumervil for the year, the Broncos' defense struggled in each and every capacity.Much of this is due to several key players suffering injuries (Andre Goodman, Brian Dawkins).
Patrick Peterson is a tremendous cornerback that can do it all.Peterson is a great tackler but an even better cover corner.4.Detroit Lions: Da'Quan Bowers, Defensive End, ClemsonKevin C.Cox/Getty ImagesWhile it may not be as big of a need as cornerback, Da'Quan Bowers is far too good of a football player to pass on.Kyle Timber land QT7637501 Men's Watch Vanden Bosch is also getting up there in age, so it's very likely that he'll only stick around for a few more years.Bowers, as I mentioned before, is way too good to pass on.His 15 sacks this year for the Clemson Tigers is enough reason for Detroit to take him with the fourth pick.5.Buffalo Bills: Nick Fairley, Defensive Lineman, AuburnKevin C.Cox/Getty ImagesWith the top two quarterbacks in the draft off the board, the Buffalo Bills will look to improve their defensive front.
