Discuss this Mock Draft

Oakland Raiders

1^st. Cavlin Johson (WR) Georgia Tech
2^nd- Zach Miller (TE) Arizona State
3^rd- Ryan Kalil (OC) USC
3^rd. Quinn Pitcock (DL) Ohio State
4^th. Manny Ramirez (OG) Texas Tech
5^th Kevin Kolb (QB) Houston
5^th. Juwan Simpson (LB) Alabama
7^th. Chris Henry (RB) Arizona
7^th. Delijuan Robinson (DL) Mississippi St

The Raiders need help on offense in a big way while figuring out what positions there current players belong.  Calvin Johnson is the best player in the draft and make this offense instantly better.  Zach Miller benefits from Moss and Johnson by being covered one on one. Ryan Kalil is should know his new coach and start from day one. Quinn Pitcock adds depth to the defensive front.  Manny Ramirez is a strong interior lineman to compete for time in his rookie season.  Kolb has a strong arm and could be the eventual starter while adding depth this season.  Juwan Simpson is another athletic linebacker who will contribute on special teams while getting his feet wet. Chris Henry was a combine warrior who might have more baggage than teams are willing to take a chance on.  Delijuan Robinson competes for roster depth/special teams. 

Detroit Lions

1^st.  Brady Quinn (QB) Notre Dame
2^nd. Charles Johnson (DE) Georgia
3^rd. A.J Davis (CB) N.C State
4^th. Scott Chandler (TE) Iowa
5^th. David Clowney (WR) VaTech
5^th. Turk McBride (DT) Tennessee
5^th. Melvin Bullitt (DB) Texas A&M
5^th. Jonny Harline (TE) BYU
7^th. Chris Messner (OL) Oklahoma

Quinn better fits the Mike Martz system than JaMarcus Russell.  Charles Johnson adds a quality edge rusher this team has lacked forever.  Davis helps in sub packages/special teams while working on footwork which is his biggest question.  Scott Chandler is a bigger tight end who can help in the short passing game.  Clowney is an ideal slot guy for the Martz system.  McBride is a good rotation/backup defensive lineman.  Bullitt is a guy who needs to be coached up in the passing game but can contribute on special teams/sub package situations.  Harline is the vertical threat at tight end to compliment Chandler.  Messner adds depth along the offensive line.

Cleveland Browns

1^st. JaMarcus Russell (QB) Lsu
2^nd. Josh Wilson (CB) Maryland
3^rd. Ikaika Alama-Francis (DE in 3-4) Hawaii
4^th. Kenny Irons (RB) Auburn
5^th. Ryan McBean (DE in 3-4) Oklahoma State
6^th. C.J Wilson (CB) Baylor
7^th. Jason Snelling (FB) Virginia

Russell is a solid choice because of his arm strength for a team in a division that plays a lot of cold weather games.  Josh Wilson is a good corner and even better return man.  Francis is the first of the picks to add youth to the 3-4 front of Romeo.  Kenny Irons slides to round four because of runs on other positions and uncertainity into his full-time back role.  McBean compliments Francis as an d-end in the 3-4.  Wilson could helps in sub packages lining up on a back or tight end.  Snelling is a solid football player who could develop into a solid fullback.

Tampa Bay Bucs

1^st. Joe Thomas (OT) Wisconsin
2^nd. Dwayne Bowe (WR) LSU
2^nd. Ray McDonald (DE) Florida
3^rd. David Irons (CB) Auburn
4^th. Keith Jackson (DT) Arkansas
5^th. John Talley (DB) Duke
7^th. Quintin Culberson (LB) Mississippi State
7^th. James Jones (WR)  San Jose State
7^th. Dan Santucci (G) Notre Dame

Joe Thomas is just too good to pass up for Chucky, he’ll protect whichever of the 57 quarterbacks in camp that wins the job.  Bowe is a solid receiver who fits the west coast offense.  McDonald adds solid interior penetration that has been missed since Warren Sapp got old in 2003.  Irons is an older prospect but has the skills to contribute immediately in sub packages. Jackson helps the run stuffing that was hurt by Booger McFarlands departure in mid season.  John Talley is a sub-package tweener.  Culberson is a tackling machine who’ll develop into a starter.  James Jones can turn a 5 yard catch into an 80 yard td on any given play.  Santucci comes from a good foundation to add depth. 

Arizona Cardinals

1^st. Patrick Willis (LB) Mississippi
2^nd. Michael Griffen (DB) Texas
3^rd. Aaron Sears (OL) Tennessee
4^th. Jay Moore (DE) Nebraska
5^th. Dallas Sartz (LB) USC
7^th. Dustin Fry (OC) Clemson

My shocker of the draft is Willis going to Arizona at five and starting inside with Dansby.  Griffen provides a solid sub package tweener/special teams demon.  Aaron Sears slids because he is a guard but starts from day one.  Moore will be groomed to start opposite Berry or as an outside backer in the 3-4.  Sartz is a perfect fit in the switch to the 3-4.  Fry another talented interior offensive lineman who slides because teams want tackles. 

Washington Redskins

1^st. Gaines Adams (DE) Clemson
5^th. Chinde Ndukwe (SS) Notre Dame
6^th. Jeremy Clark (DT) Alabama
6^th. Rodney Hannah (TE) Houston
7^th. Mike Jones (OL) Iowa

Adams gives the skins a player who will do the unthinkable, sack the quarterback.  Ndukwe is a safety who could compliment Taylor in a short time.  Clark helps a hopeless line, while Hannah is a big target at tight end.  Mike Jones provides depth along the offensive line.

Minnesota Vikings

1^st. Jamaal Anderson (DE) Arkansas
2^nd. Sidney Rice (WR) South Carolina
3^rd. Doug Free (OT) Northern Illinois
4^th. Deshon Goldson (DB) Washington
5^th. Kevin Boss (TE) Western Oregon
6^th. Toby Korrodi (QB) Central Missouri State
7^th. Blair Phillips (LB) Oregon

Anderson joins a large group of name defensive ends who haven’t produced up to expectations.  Rice is a prospect who is raw but extremely talented.  Free is a small school prospect with great size and skill, look for him to be brought along at right tackle.  Deshon Goldson hopes to be more of a Lawyer Milloy than a Hakim Akbar as a Huskie at safety.  Boss is a solid receiver who helps open the outside up for the wideouts.  Korrodi is a southpaw with a huge arm and leadership skills to develop.  Blair Phillips adds depth at the linebacker position.

Atlanta Falcons

1^st. Laron Landry (S) LSU
2^nd. Tony Ugoh (OT) Arkansas
2^nd. Eric Wright (CB) UNLV
3^rd. Tim Crowder (DE) Texas
4^th. Marcus Thomas (DT) Florida
4^th. Clark Harris (TE) Rutgers
4^th. Rod Rogers (S) Wisconsin
5^th. Tim Duckworth (G) Auburn
6^th. Zach Latimer (LB) Oklahoma
7^th. Reggie Meriweather (RB) Clemson

Landy starts right away in this pitiful defense that a wishbone teams could have thrown on in 2006.  Ugoh is a large mauler at tackle.  Wright has major off=field baggage but unbelievable skill, Petrino took on similar problems at Louisville.  Crowder is a solid defensive end who with the previous picks contributes right away.  Thomas provides strong inside pressure against the run and pass freeing up other players.  Harris is a good underneath option to compliment Crumpler.  Rod Rogers ia a sleeper prospect who has the ideal skills to be a centerfield free safety.  Duckworth projects as a backup who will perfect his craft early on.  Latimer is a smaller backer ala Demorrio Williams.  Meriweather split carries at college and could do the same with Norwood in the future. 

Miami Dolphins

1^st. Levi Brown (OT) Penn State
2^nd. Daymeion Hughes (CB) Cal
2^nd. Tank Tyler (DT) N.C State
3^rd. Drew Stanton (QB) Michigan St
4^th. Matt Spaeth (TE) Minnesota
6^th. Jacob Bell (DE) Central Arkansas
6^th. Scott Stephenson (OL) Iowa State
7^th. Cameron Stephenson (OL) Rutgers
7^th. Steve Breaston (WR) Michigan

Cameron will build up the offensive line starting with Levi Brown who starts from day one.  Hughes doesn’t time well but is a solid corner who produces big plays and turnovers.  Tyler is a solid interior defensive presence with some baggage.  Stanton could be the quarterback of the future who has a similar skillset to Phil Rivers and Drew Brees.  Matt Spaeth  is a solid blocker and good possession receiver.  Bell is a end/linebacker tweener who could be a pass rush specialist while finding his nitch.  Both Stephensons provide offensive line depth from solid programs.  Breaston becomes Wes Welker. 

Houston Texans

1^st. Adrian Peterson (RB) Oklahoma
3^rd. Bradnon Mebane  (DT) Cal
4^th. Kevin Payne (S) Louisiana-Monroe
5^th. Antwan Barnes (LB) Florida International
6^th. Calvin Bannister (CB) Hampton
7^th. Jared Zabransky (QB) Boise State

Peterson slides because of teams needing a back selecting better players, he should be the man by midseason and learn from Ahman Green.  Mebane is a big interior defensive lineman who just by forcing double teams makes Mario Williams better.  Payne played at a small school but is just a playmaker.  Barnes is a speedy prospect who will makes plays all over the field.  Bannister is short but makes game changing plays.  Zabransky impressed in the bowl win over Oklahoma but is an nfl project.

San Francisco 49ers

1^st. Amobi Okoye (NT) Louisville
2^nd. David Harris (LB) Michigan
3^rd. Sabby Piscitelli (S/LB) Oregon State
3^rd. Baraka Atkins (DE in 3-4) Miami
4^th. Courtney Taylor (WR) Auburn
4^th. Marshall Yanda (OL) Iowa
4^th. Joel Newton (TE) Oregon State
4^th. Jay Alford (De in 3-4) Penn State
5^th. Mike Walker (WR) Central Florida
6^th. Antwan Applewhite (LB) San Diego State

The 49ers also build a defensive line in this draft.  Okoye is a 19 year old stud who will make plays at the nose on all three downs.  David Harris is a true inside thumper.  Piscitelli is a solid prospect who could play in sub packages as a linebacker who covers a back/tight end.  Atkins fits the bill as an end in the 3-4.  Taylor is the definition of a possession receiver who compliment the core well.  Yanda provides depth early and could start in the near future.  Joel Newton is a bigger tight end who blocks and catches the ball underneath.  Alford is a hard working end who will complete the group of the future.  Mike Walker has great skills but has injury questions while playing at a small school.  Antwan Applewhite is an outside backer prospect in the 3-4.

Buffalo Bills

1^st. Marshawn Lynch (RB) Cal
2^nd. Brandon Siler (LB) Florida
3d. Jonathan Wade (CB) Tennessee
3^rd. Trent Edwards (QB) Standford
4^th. Jacoby Jones (WR) Lane College
6^th. Prescott Burgess (LB) Michigan
7^th. Pete Schmitt (TE) Wisconsin-Whitewater
7^th. Brandon Mitchell (S) Ohio State

Lynch is a solid 3 down back who could be the Thurman Thomas of this Bills generation.  Siler is a good 2 down backer who will start right away.  Wade is developing well from track into football, he contributes in sub package while gaining experience.  Trent Edwards is more of the in the pocket signal caller who Marv loves.  Jones is big, fast prospect that the bills lack.  Burgess is a good pass rusher/special teams player to have around.  Schmitt is a tight end who can stretch the field and compliments Robert Royal.  Mitchell is another Buckeye coming to Buffalo to contribute to the secondary/special teams. 

St. Louis Rams

1^st. Alan Branch (DT) Michigan
2^nd. Rufus Alexander (LB) Oklahoma
3^rd. Dan Bazuin (DE) Central Michigan
4^th. Samson Satele (OC) Hawaii
7^th. Garrett Wolfe (RB) Northern Illinois
7^th. Zach Cataneese (LB/S) Arizona State
7^th. Jonathan Palmer (OL) Auburn

The rams hope Alan Branch becomes what Jimmy Kennedy never did, a presence inside against the run.  Alexander is an athletic backer who could play weakside with Witherspoon.  Bazuin is a just a football player who brings it on every snap.  Satele could be the snapper of the future while Garrett Wolfe adds a solid third down/change of pace back.  Cataneese could be a solid sub package backer/safety.  Palmer comes from a solid running background to open holes in the future for Jackson. 

Carolina Panthers

1^st. Greg Olsen (TE) Miami
2^nd. Tanard Jackson (DB) Syracuse
3^rd. Tim Shaw (LB)  Penn State
4^th. Antonio Jonson (DT) Mississippi State
5^th. Jordan Palmer (QB) UTEP
6^th. Paul Williams (WR) Fresno State
7^th. Brandon Harrison (DB) Stanford

Olsen not only brings quality to a position lacking but makes the whole passing game better for the guys outside.  Jackson is a tweener who really could excel as a free safety.  Shaw is a blue collar player who surprised people at the combine, a guy who will just continue to bring it.  Johnson could be a run stuffer inside especially with Jenkins being shopped.  Jordan Palmer is a solid player who needs to learn not to force passes into coverage.  Williams is a player who has major mental lapses but could be a steal should he get his head straight.  Harrison is an intelligent and versatile safety who can play centerfield.

Pittsburgh Steelers

1^st. Adam Carriker (DE) Nebraska
2^nd. Fred Bennett (CB) South Carolina
3^rd. Lamar Woodley (DE/OLB) Michigan
4^th. Doug Datish (OC) Ohio State
4^th. Chansi Stuckey (WR) Clemson
5^th. Desmond Bishop (LB) Cal
5^th. Kolby Smith (RB) Louisville
6^th. Usama Young (CB) Ken State
7^th. Tala Esera (OL) Hawaii

It's unknown what defense the Steelers will run in 07 but Carriker is a guy who can play end in either scheme.  Bennett is a solid athlete who needs to get flaws coached out of his game.  Woodley is a solid tweener who could play with his hand on the ground in the 4-3 or stand up in the 3-4.  Datish is a solid center who could fit right into the phsycial steelers o-line.  Stuckey is a threat to score on every play because of his agility.  Bishop is a true 2 down inside thumper.  Smith could fill the "bus" role because of his great between the tackles running ability and brute force.  Usama Young is a solid corner who hasn't played against top competition while Esera adds interior depth while perfecting his run blocking. 

Green Bay Packers

1^st. Robert Meachem (WR) Tennessee
2^nd. Michael Bush (RB) Louisville
3^rd. Tarrelle Brown (CB) Texas
4^th. John Wendling (S) Wyoming
5^th. Adam Koets (OL) Oregon State
6^th. Le’Ron McLain (FB) Alabama
7^th. C.J Ah You (DE) Oklahoma
7^th. Clifton Ryan (DT) Michigan State
7^th. Leroy Harris (OL) North Carolina State

Meachem is alot like Javon Walker which should make Favre happy.  Bush is a true bruising back who can carry the load for a whole season while getting stronger.  Brown has some off the field issues but tremendous skills and playmaking ability.  Wendling is an intimidator over the middle and in the run game.  Koets could develop into a future backside tackle while McLain is a true fullback who can open up holes.  Ah You and Ryan add depth to the rotation with Ah You being an elite pass rushing propsect.  Leroy Harris adds experience at all three interior o-line positions for an up and coming line. 

Jacksonville Jaguars

1^st. Paul Posluszny (LB) Penn State
2^nd. Anthony Gonzalez (WR) Ohio State
3^rd. Josh Gattis (S) Wake Forest
4^th. Noland Burchette (DE) Virginia Tech
5^th. Stephen Nicholas (LB) South Florida
6^th. Chris Denman (OL) Fresno State
7^th. Tyron Brackenridge (S) Washington State
7^th. Quinton Echols (Dt) Kansas State
7^th. Tyler Ecker (TE) Michigan

Jack Del Rio sees alot of himself in Posluszny as a linebacker who can play any of the spots.  Gonzalez is the quick, playmaking wide receiver that compliments the Jaguars current size outside well.  Gattis and Brackenridge add all the skills neccesary to the secondary for sub packages.  Burchette is a pass rush specialist while Nicholas could be a weak side linebacker who just makes plays.  Denman provides depth along the offensive line as does Quinton Echols who could fit into the interior rotations with two all-pros.  Ecker replaces Kyle Brady as a big time blocking tight end. 

Cincinnati Bengals

1^st. Leon Hall (CB) Michigan
2^nd. Anthony Spencer (DE) Purdue
4^th. Marvin White (S) Tcu
5^th. Mike Otto (T) Purdue
6^th. Luke Smith-Anderson (TE) Idaho
7^th. Ben Siegert (DT) Oregon State
7^th. Oren O’Neal (FB) Arkansas State

Hall might have had trouble against elite receivers in college but he can be helped at the next level.  Spencer is a non-stop motor guy at end who can get to the quarterback.  White is a sleeper who excels as a centerfield type free safety.  Mike Otto isn't far away from contributing to a team while Smith-Anderson is the pass catching presence at tight end the Bengals haven't had in forever.  O'Neal is a solid fullback while Siegert helps the interior d-line which never seems to get better. 

Tennessee Titans

1^st. Darrelle Revis (CB) Pitt
2^nd. Steve Smith (WR) USC
3^rd. Victor Abiamiri (DE) Notre Dame
4^th. Travarous Bain (CB) Hampton
4^th. Jon Abbate (LB) Wake Forest
5^th. C.J Gaddis (S) Clemson
6^th. James Pinkney (QB) East Carolina
6^th. Brandon Jackson (RB) Nebraska
6^th. Matt Toeaina (DT) Oregon
7^th. Brandon Myles (WR) West Virginia

Pacmans loss impacts the draft big time.  Revis is a solid prospect who will start right away.  Smith improved his stock at the combine and played at a high level against big time competition.  Abiamiri is a solid pass rusher who is too stiff to move to outside backer.  Bain is a small school prospect who adds great depth at corner while Gaddis adds safety help.  John  Abbate came up huge last season at Wake Forest and could contribute at worst on special teams onlin in 07.  Pinkney has a similar skillset to Vince Young just not as talented while Jackson compliments Lendale White well.  Myles is a boom or bust pick late while Toeaina could be a run stuffer inside. 

New York Giants

1^st. Lawrence Timmons (LB) Florida State
2^nd. James Marteen (OT) Boston College
3^rd. Kenny Scott (CB) Georgia Tech
4^th. Antonio Pittman (RB) Ohio State
5^th. Anthony Pudewell (TE) Nevada
6^th. Justin Warren (LB) Texas A&M
7^th. Laurent Robinson (WR) Illinois State
7^th. Kasey Studdard (OL) Texas

Timmons gives them the playmaker they need at linebacker to combine with all the great defensive ends they've acquired.  Marteen is a solid tackle prospect from offensive line U who could start immediately.  Scott needs to find the desire to tackle someone because he has great coverage skills.  Pittman could be the ideal compliment to Brandon Jacobs in the future.  Pudewell is a blocker who can help in the short passing game allowing Shockey to stretch the field.  Warren is an inside thumper, Robinson a solid small school prospect and Studdard a battle tested lineman. 

Denver Broncos

1^st. Jarvis Moss (DE) Florida
2^nd. Aaron Rouse (S) VaTech
3^rd. Johnnie Lee Higgins (WR) UTEP
3^rd. H.B Blades (LB) Pitt
6^th. Louis Leonard (DT) Fresno State
7^th. Kenneth Darby (RB) Alabama

Moss is a big, athletic freak who could make an impact on any play.  Rouse is a true in the box strong safety who could replace Lynch.  Higgins is a speedy receiver who can help in the return game.  Blades is an undersized playmaker who could eventually be what Al Wilson was for many years.  Leonard provides solid run stuffing ability inside, Darby fits the broncos running style well and should stick. 

Dallas Cowboys

1^st. Aaron Ross (CB) Texas
2^nd. Craig Davis (WR) LSU
3^rd. Brian Robison (OLB) Texas
4^th. Brandon Frye (T) VaTech
5^th. Brandon McDonald (S) Memphis
6^th. Lester Ricard (QB) Tulane
6^th. Kelly Talavou (NT) Utah
7^th. Mason Crosby (K) Colorado
7^th. Marquise Cole (DB) Northwestern
7^th. Drew Tate (QB) Iowa

Ross could start from day one and makes a major impact both as a cover corner and hitter.  Davis will be groomed to replace Glenn and or/ Owens in next few years if he'll go over the middle.  Robison improved his stock at the combine showing he is athletic enough to play outside backer in the nfl.  Frye is a solis tackle prospect who could start soooner than many think.  Mcdonald and Cole bring depth/special teams skills to a team looking to upgrade the secondary.  Ricard could be the future at cornerback after Tony Banks i mean Romo shows why he warmed the bench for years.  Talavous is a true nose tackle while Drew Tate is an experienced signal caller who deserves a look. 

Kansas City Chiefs

1^st. Dwayne Jarrett (WR) USC
2^nd. Ryan Harris (OT) Notre Dame
3^rd. Paul Soliai (DT) Utah
5^th. Darius Walker (RB) Notre Dame
6^th. Marquis Gunn (DE) Auburn
7^th. Jesse Daniels (S) LSU

Jarrett is the big receiving threat the the Chiefs haven't had in eons.  Harris is a major upgrade from Kyle Turley and comes in with great experience under Charlie Weis.  Soliaia is a big run stuffer while Gunn is a pass rush specialist who could become an outside backer.  Walker is a solid change of pace/3rd down back bringing a different skillset than LJ.  Jesse Daniels brings high quality competition experience to the secondary.

Seattle Seahawks

1^st. Ben Patrick (TE) Deleware
3^rd. Josh Beekman (G/C) Boston College
4^th. Eric Frampton (DB) Washington State
5^th. Joe Cohen (DT) Florida
6^th. Kamichael Hall (LB) Georgia Tech
6^th. Terry Caulley (RB) Connecticut
7^th. Zac Taylor (QB) Nebraska

Ben Patrick should become what Jeramy Stevans never did on the field, a presence in the passing game down the seam.  Beekman is a solid interior lineman who could help ease the loss of Hutchinson last season.  Frampton is a solid free safety prospect to replace Hamlin.  Cohen and Hall add depth to the front seven while Caulley could contribute on kick returns and be groomed as Alexanders backup.  Taylor fits nicely into the seattle offense as a backup/3rd stringer.

New York Jets

1^st. Chris Houston  (CB) Arkansas
2^nd. Justin Blalock (G) Texas
2^nd. Aundrae Allison (WR) East Carolina
3^rd. Stewart Bradley (OLB) Nebraska
5^th. Chaz Williams (CB) Louisiana-Monroe
6^th. Jeff Rowe (QB) Nevada

Houston has risen up many boards and could start right away for the cornerback hungry Jets.  Blalock adds young quality players with last years two first round o-line choices.  Allison could play in the slot and be a matchup nightmare for some teams.  Bradley has the size and pass rush ability to be a solid outside backer int he 3-4 defense.  Williams is another small school talent who improves the jets corner depth while Jeff Rowe can learn the system as the #3 guy behind Clemens and Pennington.

Philadelphia Eagles

1^st. Brandon Meriweather (S) Miami
2^nd. Tony Hunt (RB) Penn State
3^rd. Buster Davis (LB) Florida State
5^th. DeAndre Jackson (CB) Iowa St
6^th. Dallas Baker (WR) Florida
7^th. Will Herring (LB/S) Auburn

Meriweather will play right away in sub packages while dominating on special teams and eventually replacing Brian Dawkins.  Hunt is the between the tackle back Philly needs to allow Westbrook to be more dynamic and a matchup problem for opponents.  Davis is a sideline to sideline backer who also excels ont he blitz.  Jackson projects well as a sub corner who can cover or blitz.  Baker is a sure handed possession guy while Herring could fit in well as a special teamer/ sub package backer who can cover.

New Orleans Saints

1^st.  Jon Beason (LB) Miami
2^nd. Jason Hill (WR) Washington St
3^rd. Michael Coe (CB) Alabama St
4^th. Kareem Brown (DT) Miami
4^th. Quincy Black (LB) New Mexico
4^th. Andy Alleman (OL) Akron
5^th. Ryan Smith (CB) Florida
6^th. Charles Harris (OT) Washington St
7^th. Barry Cryer (DT) Nebraska

The saints need to bring the defense up to par and that starts with a solid tackling machine in Jon Beason.  Hill is a fast receiver with size who'll compliment the core well.  Coe dominated at a small school and will contribute in sub-packages right away.  Brown is an inside pass rusher while Barry Cryer is more of the run stuffer.  Quincy Black is another athletic backer who could play any of the three spots.  Alleman is a mac prospect who can play multiple positions and Charles Harris is a developmental prospect who could become a starter on the backside.  Ryan Smith will be a solid slot cover guy/special teamer who has experience against top-notch competition.

New England Patriots

1^st. Reggie Nelson (S) Florida
1^st. Marcus McCauley (CB) Fresno St
3^rd. Zak DeOssie (LB) Brown
4^th. Anthony Waters (LB) Clemson
5^th. Dwayne Wright (RB) Fresno St
6^th. Rhema McKnight (WR) Notre Dame
6^th. Matt Gutierrez (QB) Idaho
6^th. Zack West (DL) UTEP
6^th. Aaron Brant (OL) Iowa St
7^th. Willis Barringer (DB) Michigan

Nelson could start with Harrison from day one while McCauley could be some coaching away from being a first round gem.  Deossie (inside/outside) and Waters (inside) add youth to the linebacker position.  Wright is a between the tackles back who can catch while McKnights needs to secure the ball better.  Gutierrez has similar size/traits to the current Pats quarterbacks.  Zack West adds depth across the line, while Barringer could be a solid future strong safety.  Brant is another versatile o-lineman. 

Baltimore Ravens

1^st. Joe Staley (OT) Central Michigan
2^nd. Quentin Moses (DE/OLB) Georgia
4^th. Gerald Alexander (S) Boise St
5^th. J.D Nelson (DB) Oregon
5^th. Corey Hilliard (OL) Oklahoma St
6^th. Cory Anderson (FB) Tennessee
6^th. John Broussard (WR) San Jose St.

Staley is an athletic tackle who fits nicely opposite Ogden.  Moses like Terrell Suggs looks like a slider to some teams but makes plays and will fit nicely at outside backer for the Ravens.  Nelson and Alexander add solid depth to the secondary which is very thin going into the draft.  Hilliard could play any of the four positions outside of center, possibly a future starting guard.  Anderson will become McGahee's leading man while Broussard could be a serviceable player under Billick.

San Diego Chargers

1^st. Ted Ginn (WR) Ohio St
2^nd. Michael Johnson (S) Arizona
3^rd. Mihcael Okwo (LB) Stanford
3^rd. Anthony Arline (CB) Baylor
4^th. Tony Taylor (LB) Georgia
5^th. Allen Barbre (T) Missouri Southern
5^th. Chase Pittman (DE) LSU
7^th. Courtney Lewis (RB) Texas A&M

Ginn add an explosiveness to the outside that is missing while also being a dangerous return guy.  Johnson is a solid free safety who can help over the top in a centerfield position.  Okwo is an ideal inside backer for the chargers style 3-4.  Arline is a big, fast prospect who can play in subs while getting coached up for the future.  Tony Taylor is an intelligent linebacker who could play any of the spots in the chargers defense.  Chase Pittman could be in the rotation at defensive end while Lewis adds depth should Turner be dealt. 

Chicago Bears

1^st. Ben Grubbs (G) Auburn
2^nd. Brian Leonard (RB) Rutgers
3^rd. Earl Everett (LB) Florida
4^th. Martrez Millner (TE) Georgia
5^th. Brian Crum (LB) Florida
7^th. Jordan Kent  (WR) Oregon
7^th. Isaiah Stanback (ATH) Washington

Ben Grubbs is a mauler who will eventually replace Ruben Brown.  Leonard can play fullback, tailback and add a dynamic missing to the Bears offense.  Everett and Crum add great athleticism to the linebacker position on either side of Urlacher in the future.  Millner struggles with drop but can be a threat down the field.  Kent is a bigger, fast propsect which is what the Bears have targeted since Lovie Smith has taken over .  Stanback could make adjustment to many positions with his great athleticism. 

Indianapolis Colts

1^st. Justin Harrell (DT) Tennessee
3^rd. Justin Durant (LB) Hampton
3^rd. Lorenzo Booker (RB) Florida State
4^th. Mkristo Bruce (DE) Washington St
4^th. David Ball (WR) New Hampshire
5^th. Cory Graham (DB) New Hampshire
5^th. John Beck (QB) BYU
7^th. Larry Birdine (DL) Oklahoma

Harrell provides an inside run stuffing presence for the leagues worst run defense.  Durant is an athletic linebacker who could fit into any of the three positions.  Booker is a good receiver/change of pace back.  Bruce and Birdine add outside depth.  Ball is a solid slot receiver who want drop anything near him.  Graham adds depth to the secondary at all positions.  Beck is a solid qb who fits into Indy's offense.
