Ron Wolfley knows a thing or two about the NFL and, with that knowledge, comes a keen sense of what teams will be looking for Saturday when they are on the clock.

Top 10 selections:
1) Detroit: Matthew Stafford, QB, Georgia
2) St. Louis: Jason Smith, T, Baylor
3) Kansas City: Aaron Curry, LB, Wake Forest
4) Seattle: Michael Crabtree, WR, Texas Tech
5) Cleveland: Brian Orakpo, DE/OLB, Texas
6) Cincinatti: Eugene Monroe, T, Virginia
7) Oakland: Jeremy Maclin, WR, Missouri
8) Jacksonville: Mark Sanchez, QB, USC
9) Green Bay: Everette Brown, DE/OLB, Florida State
10) Michael Oher, G, Mississippi

But, Wolf’s favorite players in the draft are these guys:

1) Aaron Curry, LB, Wake Forest
2) Michael Crabtree, WR, Texas Tech
3) Brian Orakpo, DE/OLB, Texas
4) Jason Smith, T, Baylor
5) Chris “Beanie” Wells, RB, Ohio State

The Arizona Cardinals might be better off looking for a running back in the draft than to land the big name.

And two years from now he might very well be sounding that alarm high above the University of Phoenix crowd before a Cardinals home game.
