| Again, the Bears really fell off last year as a defense and one of the keys was that the pass rush was not where it needed to be. Ayers has good functional strength and uses his agility and array of pass rushing moves to get to the QB. He doesn't have great straight line speed and the number of sacks he had was only average, but he constantly put pressure on the QB and he does a great job defending the run. He will likely be even more productive in the NFL as he has got better and better throughout his senior year. |

| ***THIS PICK NOW BELONGS TO THE CLEVELAND BROWNS*** By trading K. Winslow for this pick the Browns can pick up the RB they will soon need. Brown has risen on the draft boards only because no one knew he was as fast as he was until he ran at the combine (4.51 40). He demonstrated his lower body strength by performing well in the vertical and broad jumps. The surprise came because Brown has a power running style which he used to lead the nation in rushing. He is exactly the type of power runner Mangini will wants to feature in the offense he wants to see run. |

| With the Cowboy's losing C. Canty they will need another DE who can stuff the run and occasionally put some pressure on the QB. I don't have Jackson rated as high as others since he wasn't consistent versus the run or rushing the passer. However, with his size (6'4" 295 lb) and agility he is a great candidate for this defensive scheme. He doesn't seem to have a high motor, but when he's hot he is good at playing O-linemen straight up whether it is beating them to get to the QB or the ball carrier. |

| The fact that Ryan doesn't seem impressed enough with any QB on the Jets' roster to designate a starter to me leaves the door open for a new QB to be drafted. Ryan left a situation in Baltimore where he saw a big, strong-armed QB get drafted and lead the team to two playoff wins. He may try to duplicate that success with Freeman. He also has a strong arm and great size, but Freeman is quite as accurate as Flacco is. Freeman has the low profile that Flacco had coming into the draft and also is a threat to run the ball. I just have an issue with his spotty accuracy and decision making in the clutch. Freeman had a slower 40 time than expected at the Combine and didn't show anything spectacular when throwing. Then again, he wasn't working with great WR's so at this point I'll give him the benefit of the doubt and say the Jets take him here. |

| L.J. Smith is just too injury prone to be counted on anymore as a factor in this team's success. Coffman is an excellent receiver. He's tall (6'5" 246) and has soft, reliable hands. He also has a lot of experience running routes in the middle of the field, along the sidelines and in the endzone due to the offense Missouri ran. He didn't do it often so he definitely needs work with it, but he does okay run blocking. I think Coffman is a great pickup here for the Eagles. |

| The Vikings have Hutchinson at LG but could use an upgrade at RG. Levitre is strong and stout and is great at neutralizing whichever lineman he gets his hands on. He is consistent and is just as effective run blocking as he is pass protecting. He's still available here because he isn't the most agile or athletic guy in the world, but he's aggressive and generally finds a way to get the job done. |

| The Falcons only have a run blocking TE as their starter, so they sorely need more talent at this position to continue the development of M. Ryan. Cook put on a clinic at the Combine, where he ran a 4.5 40, a 41" vertical while bench pressing 225 23 times. He averaged 15.2 yards/catch at South Carolina, which is an upgrade over Boss' 11.6 yards/catch last year. Cook's hands are good enough, but he needs to work on his run blocking (like most college TE's) to start for this team. |

| The dolphins could use a CB but there isn't one worth selecting here so they round out their new WR core with Iglesias. Doesn't have great top end speed as he runs about a 4.55, but Iglesias' forte is YAC and this offense could use another big, physical WR. Iglesias has good hands, can block and has proven to be another great red zone weapon to compliment H. Nicks if they draft him. C. Pennington didn't have a lot of confidence in his WR's in the red zone where he usually threw to his TE's, so there is definitely room for Iglesias here. |

| The Ravens lack of depth at CB hurt them occasionally throughout the season (to the point they brought in F. Washington), but things really fell apart in the playoffs when their remaining CB's started to get hurt. The have Foxworth now, but they're also losing C. Ivy so they will still need more depth. Smith is a very big, physically imposing CB that has enough size and jumping ability to negate jump balls from taller WR's (6'4 214 lb). However, he is still has enough speed (4.55 40) to go along with his great instincts. He has 15 pass breakups and 9 INT's over the past two years. He has good enough feet to be effective in whatever defense the Ravens choose to run this season. |

| The Patriots have Mayweather at for FS but they need to start grooming R. Harrison's replacement for SS. Moore has had his stock fall due to his lousy senior season. He took bad angles to ball carriers and he often got beat in pass coverage. However, he showed at the combine that he has the speed to play safety at the NFL level (about a 4.56 40). There is talk he was injured for much of his senior season and Moore did play fairly well in the Senior Bowl. Hopefully Belichik can build on Moore's Junior season. |

| The Panthers finally have a chance to pick and when they do I'm sure they would take the opportunity to upgrade the safety position with a player like Delmas. N. Salley and Q. Teal do not provide adequate depth and I don't think they're sold on Godfrey either. Delmas is a very hard hitting safety and a solid tackler. He has reliable hands and is good playing in man coverage of TE's or in a zone. I have him ranked lower than the other two safties because he doesn't regularly take good angles to ball carries. That skill is very important at the next level so we likely won't be able to start right away. |

| The Giants have great starters on their O-line, but they have very little depth behind the staring OT's. Loadholt played LT at Oklahoma but is better suited for playing RT in the NFL. He definetly has the size and strength for it at 6'8" 332. He has proven to be a great run blocker but sometimes has trouble with speed rushers, but he would eventually adjust throughout the game. One would think would make him a poor fit for the Giant's needs, but he will perform much better at RT where the DE's and OLB's are generally better run blockers than pass rushers. |

| P. Manning's bum knee and lack of training camp weren't the only reason the Colts had such a lousy 1st quarter of the season. They suffered many injuries along their O-line and found out the hard way that they didn't have as much quality depth as they should. C. Johnson and D. Pollack really aren't helping the Colts get the run game going like they should, but lucky for Pollack his future is at center when Saturday retires. Canfield can be groomed for either guard position, likely LG. He has the agility and lateral speed the Colts covet while having the strength to handle D-linemen in 1-on-1 situations. |

| The Titans are going to have to start planning for a future without Mawae. Caldwell is strong at the point of the attack in the running game and has the reflexes and agility to move effectively in limited space. He also has the long arms the Titans covet in keeping D-linemen's arms out of his chest. This quality just edges him out over the speed and atheletic ability Jonathan Luigs possesses. |

| The Steelers still have not adequately addressed the center position and they will need depth here to keep Roethlisberger healthy for a full season. Luigs is very fast of the snap at getting in his man's chest with his hands or getting to the 2nd level (5.14 40 at the combine). His arms are a little short and he could stand to be a little stronger at the point of attack, which is why I have him ranked below Caldwell. |

| L. Pope has not turned out to the weapon this team envisioned when they took him with a 3rd round pick and Spach is not a long term solution either. Nelson has proven to be an excellent receiver and his 6'5" 240 lb body that ran a 4.56 40 at the combine proves he is built to make it deep downfield quickly. Nelson's frame reminds me of Kellen Winslow. Nelson actually did an adequate job blocking during the Senior Bowl; better than he did at Southern Miss. This leads me to believe he can learn to be an even better blocker in the NFL. |
