1) The Houston Texas select... Jason Lee Scott, QB, Red Ranger
I know, I know, how could they pass on Tommy? Here's how - this is a team that already has an established identity. JJ Watt is the face of this franchise, and rightfully so. He's menacing, he's athletic, he's charitable. They don't need someone to step in and take charge of the team. Ask any real Texans fan - they didn't want Matt Schaub to go out and throw for 600 yards a game - they wanted him to go out there, not mess up, and never be intimidated. That's Jason. Remember when he went to Goldar's dimension WITH NO MORPHER and fought dude for Tommy's candle? Intangibles man. The Texans need a guy that that knows where he fits in, and has no trouble deferring to teammates if need be.
2) The St. Louis Rams select... Rocky Cardenas, WR, Red Ranger
When the Rams took Tavon Austin in the 1st Round last year, it was a no brainer. Speed guy with great hands and the ability to make plays in space. But without a strong compliment on the outside you limit what you can get out of your slot. Rocky replaced Jason as the Red Ranger in Season 2, and while while a practitioner of martial arts, he was probably the most physically active outside of training, the kind or guy the Rams will need to spread the field.
3) The Jacksonville Jaguars select... Thomas "Tommy" Oliver, QB, White Ranger
It's not always about "Best available", but for the Jaguars, it is. Outside of Lil' Duval, nobody wants anything to do with this team. We don't watch them on TV. We don't go to their games. Nike was probably able to come up with that awesomely terrible outfit because no one would care. They need a face for that team, they need someone that will put butts in the seats, and will attract free agents. They need the GOAT Power Ranger, Tommy Oliver. Now, there are some risks here. Very troubled past, to the point that he was started off vandalizing his rival school's property, getting into numerous altercations with them, most notably destroying their modes of transportation. But he quickly matured, to the point that he was named team captain and starter within what seemed like months. He had the complete trust of the coach, and managed to maintain his focus with plenty of outside distractions looming. If the Jags hope to turn things around, he is the route they have to go.
4) The Cleveland Browns select... Zack Taylor, QB, Black Ranger
The Browns take Zack over any Red Ranger from "Power Rangers in Space" on, because their offensive line is THE HOTTEST OF GARBAGE. They'll need a guy to make plays with his feet till they find they put a solid group around him, and all of his "hip hop kido" training will be put to the test. His skill set diverse, his agility and speed are elite. The hardest thing will be avoiding turnovers. He's shows a propensity to fumble (all those times he couldn't quite ask Angela out) But when he's been asked to step up from his backup role, he's undefeated. Not a single loss under his watch.
5) The Oakland Raiders select... Trini Kwan, WR, Yellow Ranger
Big Target. Good Hands. No Ego. The perfect fit for a team that really, really needs to find a new identity. This isn't to say she doesn't have a mean streak - you don't get the nickname "sabre tooth tiger" for being a pushover. For all the things Matt Schaub wasn't, he could get the ball to Andre Johnson and let him make plays. This tandem should be no different. She doesn't have the strongest release from the press, but her route running is unparalleled, drawing comparisons to a young Keyshawn Johnson. This is a can't miss prospect.
6) The Atlanta Falcons select... Katherine "Kat" Hilliard, OLB, Pink Ranger
Kat's the pick here, because of her versatility. Not a pure pass rusher, not strictly run stopper, she's a hybrid that could rush from the 4-3, or drop back in a 3-4 if necessary. Just look at the tape: she has shown the ability to actually alter her anatomy to get behind the o-line and into the backfield. Also, you want to see an open field tackle. SHE CAPTURED THE FALCON ZORD. Still undersized, and raw, she made the plays against the biggest opponents. ATL has to go with "The Cat" here.
7) The Tampa Bay Buccaneers select... Aisha Campbell, OT, Yellow Ranger
She's selfless. Isn't concerned with who gets the credit, totally focused on the team task. Is a big fan of smaller creatures, a nurturer, a caretaker. This is why Aisha is the first lineman taken in the draft. She doesn't have to play dirty in order to get results. Comes fro ma solid upbringing, so solid that a necklace her grandmother made for her fought off one of Rita's hate spells. Mental toughness won't be an issue here. Focus has been a bit of a concern, with questions about shopping sprees and interest in the music business being aspirations. But, on the field, she's a rock, completely reliable and willing to contribute at any spot on the line.
8) The Minnesota Vikings select... Billy Cranston, QB, Blue Ranger
They tried Josh Freeman. Big, physical Josh Freeman, and he washed out. All the guys they went through, including Christian Ponder, were athletes of the highest regard. Sometimes, you just need a guy would can line up, analyze the defense, sit in the pocket and get the ball out. This is Cranston. A quiet kid, but always in his playbook, always practicing, always finding new ways to improve. He's the least physically gifted QB with a first round grade, but what he lacks in speed and strength, he makes up for with accuracy and attention to detail. Not being a natural athlete wasn't a hindrance to him, as he steadily improved his physique and cardiovascular health over time. He's Chad Pennington without the durability issues ( last original member to leave the team). He'd be an extension of the coach on the field (he created the damn communicators) and would work tirelessly to improve from day one.
9) The Buffalo Bills select... Adam Park, OT, Black Ranger
There's something to be said for consistency. Adam was a Mighty Morphin, Zeo, Turbo, Space, and one-off Overdrive Ranger. No matter who was in his backfield, he was able to protect and win with him. This is who you think of when you use the term "stalwart". He's the rock - he's steady, surefooted, and a winner. This is a guy you want protecting a franchise quarterback like EJ Manuel, and opening up holes for CJ Spiller. His Shaolin background speaks volumes about his feet and balance, and as a former victim and survivor of childhood bullying, this is the guy who's gonna keep your locker room honest.
10) The Detroit Lions select... Kimberly Ann Hart
Range. Can get to anywhere on the field in coverage. Rangy. She's also long, to where she doesn't always have to play through a receiver's body, but can get up there and fight for the rock. Check the tape - not afraid of the opponent, regardless of a perceived size mismatch. In a few years, just like on the show, teams are going to game plan around her. She demands the attention of the quarterback ,so much so that our projected #3 pick's worst games were all against her. Her amateur appearance in the Pan Global Games further solidifies the athlete you'll have as the last life of defense in your secondary.
