My best guess is this:

1. Raiders - Russell
Russell doesn't exactly fit their "system," but by all accounts, Al Davis has a big man crush on Russell.

2. Lions - Johnson
Yes, I'm going out on a limb and prediciting they take another wideout. Johnson has more potential to have the biggest impact on any team in the draft and, thus, save Millen's job. I'm thinking Millen is banking on asmuch and picks him. If Johnson doesn't have a big impact and Millen gets criticized for taking another WR, who cares? He probably would have been fired anyway.

I don't think they go with a QB here as Quinn probably isn't worth the #2 overall. I don't think they go with tackle given that they have a LT in Jeff Backus who could make the Pro Bowl and they just traded for an RT whom they likely expect to start. I don't think they take Peterson since the knock on him is that he's injury prone and they already have a back in Kevin Jones who can't stay out of the training room. I simply think they go WR (although I'm probably wrong).

3. Cleveland - Peterson
Cleveland isn't exactly enthralled with Reuben Droughns, but does reportedly like Charlie Frye.

4. Tampa Bay - Thomas
Thomas is the best value at this point and could turn out to be the best player in the draft. Given that Johnson will be off of the board, I bet Tampa will draft him.

5. Arizona - Branch
It's a toss up between DE Anderson, Adams, or DT Branch.
