This draft possesses its share of standout skill position players (TE Tyler Eifert checks in at 13), but the strongest positions are on the offensive and defensive lines.
While Geno Smith is the consensus top quarterback in this draft, it's Florida State's E.J. Manuel who has the most upside.
The Saints defense was an abomination in 2012, and all positions but safety are a need. Unfortunately, New Orleans has just five picks.
DeMarco Murray is the starting RB in Dallas, but his injury issues compel the Cowboys to find a strong backup. Vandy's Zac Stacy is a nice mid-round target.
It wasn't long ago that Matt Barkley looked like a future top-10 pick. With the draft finally near, though, Barkley is in a fight just to be one of the first five QBs selected.
With Michael Boley gone and Mathias Kiwanuka headed to defensive end, the Giants are very thin at linebacker. They need help at corner, too.
This draft's main star power at receiver is made up of novelty talents like Tavon Austin and Cordarrelle Patterson, but a prospect like Markus Wheaton is a fine target as a traditional wideout.
Jermichael Finley has another year in Green Bay, but the Packers would be wise to target his long-term replacement in this draft, which has an abundance of tight end talent.
With Ray Lewis and Ed Reed gone from Baltimore, the Ravens have obvious needs at inside linebacker and safety. Anquan Boldin's exit, though, quietly created a big need at receiver, too.
The increased demand for safeties in the NFL coincides with the strongest safety draft class in years, putting cornerbacks and safeties in nearly the same level of prominence in the first few rounds.
With Mike Wallace gone to Miami, the Steelers need more talent at receiver. A big target like Da'Rick Rogers would be especially useful for Ben Roethlisberger.
The Browns need help in the secondary and at quarterback, but the team's best bet for immediate impact might be at TE. Tyler Eifert would be a great trade-back target.
While workhorse runners like Montee Ball are rare in the 2013 draft, this class is loaded with strong running back committee candidates.
The signing of Greg Jennings got the ball rolling, but the Vikings still have a talent deficiency at receiver. Linebacker and defensive tackle are two other positions of fairly urgent need for Minnesota. Luckily for them, they have 11 picks.
Jeff Backus (retirement) and Gosder Cherilus (free agency) won't play for Detroit in 2013, so Matt Stafford will get real familiar with the turf if the Lions don't add help at tackle.
Even with Jermon Bushrod signed away from New Orleans, the Bears still have an urgent need to upgrade on the OL. With Brian Urlacher gone, linebacker is another top priority.
Collin Klein hopes to use his arm and his legs to topple Oregon in the Fiesta Bowl.
Landry Jones leads Oklahoma against Johnny Football and Texas A&M in the Cotton Bowl.
