The NFL season is over, and now teams can focus on building their teams through the NFL draft.
Although, you could say players and owners trying to reach a settlement and get out of the current lockout that is facing the league. However, there will still be a draft.
Here is a mock draft of every team for the first ten picks:
1. Carolina Panthers:  Blaine Gabbert, QB, Missouri
Carolina's offense needs help. The Jimmy Clausen experiment didn't turn out very well this season, so they take Gabbert, who is the most pro-ready quarterback in this year's draft.
Gabbert declared as junior, and is leaving Missouri after 3,186 passing yards, 16 touchdowns to nine interceptions, a 127.03 quarterback rating, and completed 63.4% of his passes. He is 6'5" and 240 lbs. He is big, strong, but very mobile at the same time.
The team could also look at Patrick Peterson, CB, Cam Newton, QB, Nick Fairley, DT or Marcell Dareus, DT.
Team needs: DE, DT, WR, OL, CB, QB
