Who will have the first pick in the 2013 draft?

I think the #1 pick is going to come entirely from nowhere like it has the past couple years. No one called the Colts being as bad as they were last year, and I sure as heck didn't see the Panthers picking first the year before.

So, I'm going to take a random guess and say that neither QB pans out for Arizona, and they pick #1. No offense, Cardinals fans, I'm really just guessing randomly. There are too many factors to think about.

Right now, I think the Dolphins have the best chance. I like their coaching but that roster just seems so barren on offense.

I think we'll see Miami with the first pick and Arizona trading up to pick Matt Barkley.

I know the Browns had a good Defense last year and with the addition of Trent Richardson they will be alot better but you have to factor in that the Steelers/Bengals/Ravens have also improved alot, I just hate the Weeden Pick because it made no sense.

What if the Browns end up 1ST Overall Next year and Weeden shows improvement but still not a Franchise QB but on the other hand Matt Barkley Wins the Heisman and goes to the BCS National Championship Game what do they do? Say that they really screw up by taking Weeden in the First and take Barkley while dumping Weeden for anything or do what the Rams did and get a Kings Ransom for the Pick and build around a 30 Year Old Second Year QB?

The Browns have a slim chance of picking last. We had one of the youngest teams last year and it should be a year better. We didn't lose any good players. We added Trent Richardson, Brandon Weeden, and Mitchell Swartchz who should all be large improvements over the players they are replacing. They had a top 5 defense last year and are replacing their worst starters. I think Trent Richardson is the most pro ready rookie to come out since Peterson. Even if the rest of the roster doesn't improve we had one of the worst running games in the NFL last year and it should be much much better this season.

I don't think the Browns will be good, but they have a lot of good young players and at the very worst will field a similar roster to last year.

The Rams have the best chance of picking first, because they have 2 picks from teams that haven't done well recently. Also - as much as I love what the Redskins and Rams did this offseason to help them in the future, I don't see their rookies having big impacts from day 1.

If I had to guess what team finishes with the worst record I will say Kansas City. Just a hunch. I know they weren't close to the worst team in the league last year and some of their best players were out with injuries, but I have no faith in their QB situation and feel like their defense might slip. Romeo Crennel is also the worst coach I have ever seen in any pro sport.

I find it peculiar so many people are putting the Dolphins there, considering they were pretty much an average team a year ago. Do you all think that highly of Brandon Marshall?

It really is difficult to pick one. Injuries have to be taken into consideration because those are always one of the driving forces of who ends up with the #1 pick, but you can't just guess injuries.

I'll say a really good darkhorse is the Eagles. If Vick goes down that team is not built to win with poor QB play. They are built to score points, put the opposition in a spot where they have to throw, and pin their ears back and rush the passer.

If Vick goes down, you suddenly have mediocre QB play and the defense is taken out of their comfort zone, being forced to stop the run. Yes, I know who they've added this offseason. Doesn't mean the run defense is going to go from black to white.

I think the Cardinals are another good guess. They overachieved last season on defense as far as I'm concerned and I don't think their QB play is going to be much better if they stick with Kolb. Everyone in the West has gotten noticeably better this offseason but I don't really see it with Arizona.

I think Cleveland is definitely going to be top 5. Jaguars will definitely be top 10. Dolphins are likely to be top 10 or top 5. I see the Colts as definitely being in the top 10. That defense isn't ready to win yet.

Lions could be another surprise team. Stafford has his injury history and Backus is still at LT. The rest of the division added pass rushers like Nick Perry and Shea McClellin whereas the Lions didn't pay too much attention on fixing the defense this offseason. If Stafford goes down I don't think that team is very good.

Remember, these are all just my opinion Mr. Green

I'm surprised Jacksonville is pegged at #1. Our defense was legit, our running game elite, our QB AWFUL.

We still finished #7
