This is an opinion for the first three rounds.

This is an interesting early overview of 4-7 per USA today.
http://content.usatoday.com/communities/thehuddle/post/2011/04/live-blog-fourth--through-seventh-round-analysis-of-2011-nfl-draft/1

Cam Newton, QB, 1st round, 1st overall, Carolina Panthers
Nick Fairley, DT, 1st round, 13th overall, Detroit Lions
Zach Clayton, DT, 7th round, 212th overall, Tennessee Titans
Lee Ziemba, OT, 7th round, 244th overall, Carolina Panthers

I know the BR is to slideshows what USA is to charts and graphs but I needed something to refer to and thought these sites might be useful...if not colorful.

Yeah Z has some competition in veteran Jeff Otah and they need help at guard.

I just read this-I don't follow any team or claim to know any specific needs or talent like the yammering tools at ESPN. 

Darvin was one of the top ten highest rated not taken in the draft. I think he can catch on with his hands.
I think Bynes will find a home as will Byrum eventually. Pugh will land somewhere because he can play several spots. Fannin should get a shot too.
The knock on Z was his hips or lack of flexibility. They called him non-athletic. We'll see what they say in 2020. Bynes is said to be foot slow and do nothing particularly well, just has a nose for the ball. 

One kicker and one punter were drafted yesterday. Atlanta took the punter; I haven't seen a Ray Guy in some decades and what really makes this pick insane is what they gave up for Julio earlier. 
I like the Jones pick just not the loses incurred.

...and other 2011 National Champs
Blanc
Stevens
Washington
Isom
Berry
Burns

I was actually thinking about this happening. This is cool. Ziemba is a mean sombitch.

Cleveland has to be licking its chops with the number of choices for next season, compliments of the Falcons.

Potential #1's include:

Alshon Jeffries WR So. Car.
Cliff Harris CB Oregon
Justin Blackmon WR Okla. St.
Trent Patterson RB AL 
LaMichael James RB Oregon
Billy Winn DT Boise
Bruce Irvin DE WVU    NOTE* This is a mountain ewok. Yeesh!
Matt Kalil OT USC

...just to name a few. And of course they can also work a trade with the added picks to select the player they covet the most, sort of like Atlanta, only not as recklessly.

Uh. Did you mean Trent Richardson?

Let's blame it on senility.
