Default 2009 NFL Mock Draft V (all 7 rounds!)

1. Lions: Matthew Stafford, QB, Georgia
I still believe new GM Martin Mayhew and coach Jim Schwartz would be sacrificing their careers in three seasons with this pick. Still, they’re going to probably go QB, since apparently that’s where one has to start with building a team. I still say starting in the trenches is a much more brilliant idea.

2. Rams: Jason Smith, OT, Baylor
No team will be more pumped about Stafford going No. 1 than the Rams. They’ll be more excited than even the Lions. It means the Rams get the premier OT they’ve desired for two seasons. I wouldn’t be shocked if the Rams tried to trade to the No. 1 pick if the Lions didn’t have a deal done in order to take Smith before Detroit did. Fortunately for them, Smith will be available.

3. Chiefs: Aaron Curry, LB, Wake Forest
The Mark Sanchez talk begins here with the Chiefs entertaining trade offers before submitting their selection. Only the Browns and Broncos really have the ability to move here and take him. If the Browns really want Sanchez as is rumored, expect them to make the move here to pick him up. I’m not going to project trades, so I’ll have the Chiefs take Curry. This is a change for me. I’ve had Brian Orakpo slotted here to play OLB or DE. Curry is a better value, though, and I’m not convinced the Chiefs are going to make the switch to the 3-4. Even if they do, Curry has the ability to function in the offense as an ILB, but it won’t be as natural as when he’s in a 4-3 at OLB.

4. Seahawks: Eugene Monroe, OT, Virginia
There’s lots of Sanchez-hype here, but I think it’s more about Seattle waging the value of the most talked about player heading into the draft. If Seattle doesn’t take Sanchez, expect him to fall some. Don’t expect someone to trade up into the top five to get him, either. A team hasn’t moved into the top five since 2004 when the Redskins traded up from No. 7 to No. 5 to take Sean Taylor. Teams don’t want to spend the money on a top five pick. That leaves the Seahawks with Monroe, who I consider a very overrated player. He’s got the hype to go here, but on my board I would rank him sixth among tackles in the draft behind Jason Smith, Andre Smith, Michael Oher, Eben Britton and William Beatty.

5. Browns: Michael Crabtree, WR, Texas Tech
Regardless of if he’s traded before or during the draft or not, Braylon Edwards is on his way out in Cleveland. Can’t exactly blame the Browns for that one, either. He dropped more passes than any other WR in the league a season ago and has really had one solid year. Crabtree is built similar to Edwards, but plays more like Larry Fitgerald. He’s one of the greatest WR prospects in draft history. Sanchez will get rumored here as well, but Cleveland is a team I think will move up to No. 3 or 4 in order to secure Sanchez. And if they can’t find a suitor for Brady Quinn or Derek Anderson, expect the Browns to supply them with better weapons to work with.

6. Bengals: Brian Orakpo, DE, Texas
Andre Smith is making a resurgence with his draft stock, but it’s not quite this high. Orakpo and Aaron Maybin have become options 1a and 1b in this draft, but Orakpo is a much better fit for a 4-3 defense than Maybin is. He gives Cincinnati its best pure pass-rushing threat during Marvin Lewis’ tenure as coach.

7. Raiders: Jeremy Maclin, WR, Missouri
Al Davis loves speed and has to be fascinated by Maclin. The Sanchez sweepstakes will really heat up by this point between Washington, Denver, San Francisco and the Jets. Expect him to be traded for by either this selection or at No. 8. By this point, it would be easy for Washington, Denver and San Francisco to offer good enough value with draft picks to move up. It’d be a little more difficult for the Jets.

8. Jaguars: Mark Sanchez, QB, USC
The catalyst comes off the board here. I don’t think it will be the Jags who take him, but instead he will be traded for by this pick. There are some teams that consider Sanchez a better QB than Stafford, which is evidenced by the large amount of clubs interested in him. A big part of the reason he is getting this type of hype is the major dropoff in quality at the position after him. Teams with needs at signal caller are panicking a little in hopes of getting the last top tier passer in this draft. Ultimately, I expect the Redskins to be the team to pull the trigger, placing Jason Campbell on the trade market.

9. Packers: Aaron Maybin, LB, Penn State
The Packers are making a switch to a 3-4 scheme defensively. Maybin can give them a pass rusher off the edge on the weak side. He’s probably the most explosive player coming around the edge in the draft.

10. 49ers: B.J. Raji, DT, Boston College
I can see Raji coming off the board as high as No. 4 to Seattle. He’s every bit as talented as Sedrick Ellis, who went No. 7 overall to the Saints a year ago. Raji can play NT or DE in the 49ers’ 3-4 scheme. He’s going to be one of the best pass rushing DL in the league amongst teams who play the 3-4.

11. Bills: Andre Smith, OT, Alabama
Once upon a time, Smith was the favorite to be the No. 1 pick overall. Since then, he has raised red flag after red flag on himself. He’s still one of the best OL on film and has the ability to still be a LT in this league. His future might carry him to the right side, though, or even at guard. Smith is now an example to future NFL draft prospects on what not to do during the draft season.

12. Broncos: Malcolm Jenkins, DB, Ohio State
Forget about 40 times for a minute. Jenkins is still the most technically sound CB in the draft and technique can make up for plenty in football. I think he's still a CB in the NFL over a FS. The Broncos probably use him as a FS, though.

13. Redskins: Robert Ayers, DE, Tennessee
If Washington doesn’t get a deal done to move up for Sanchez, then they must address one of two huge needs with this pick – OT or DE. Ayers is the more valuable player here. He’s a one-year wonder, but his performance at the Senior Bowl is carrying him a long way. If he can just become a threat, the Redskins are a better defense and Andre Carter finally becomes a pass-rushing threat again.

14. Saints: Chris Wells, RB, Ohio State
I haven't made it a secret. I don't like Beanie Wells. I question his heart and desire to play. No one can deny his ability, though, and the Saints need a back who can bash out tough yards up the middle. Having a runner like Wells maximizes the talent of Reggie Bush. The Saints don't pick again until the fourth round. They can't delay in adding a key piece to their offense.

15. Texans: Everette Brown, DE, Florida State
Brown was once considered a potential top five pick, but has seen his stock drop recently because of his size. Still, he remains a viable option for a team needing a pass rusher off the weakside edge or for a team utilizing a 3-4 defense. The Texans run a 4-3, but do not have a great threat opposite Mario Williams. They have signed Antonio Smith, but he’s a strongside end who has just 14.5 sacks in six seasons. Smith does make Brown’s transition more convenient, though, as he can play on running downs, keeping Brown fresh for passing downs only.

16. Chargers: Michael Oher, OT, Ole Miss
This is a great scenario for San Diego. The Chargers are a team with few glaring needs, but getting a player to fill in at RT or guard is a big one. Oher could play either position. He’s a natural RT and one of the better run blockers in this draft. One of the intangibles with Oher that might make him attractive to teams ahead of the Bolts is the fact he’s already handled the limelight. He’s the topic of the best-selling novel “The Blind Side” and has gained some experience as a celebrity because of it.

17. Jets: Tyson Jackson, DE, LSU
This writer is not a fan of Jackson's, but he is widely considered the top 3-4 DE available. That'll mean a team running that particular defensive scheme will highly value him.

18. Broncos (from CHI): Brian Cushing, LB, USC
Assuming Josh McDaniels and company utilize the same 3-4 scheme the Patriots do, Cushing becomes a very enticing option for the Broncos. Much like the acquired Mike Vrabel, Cushing gives the Broncos some options at ILB and OLB. He’s a great player at the point of attack, but could be a liability in pass coverage. Still, the scheme plays to his strengths.

19. Buccaneers: Josh Freeman, QB, Kansas State
I’m convinced – like many draftniks are – that the Bucs will find a way to land Freeman one way or another. New coach Raheem Morris has a past with Freeman and the Bucs have not been secretive in their interest in the QB. No team in the NFL needs a starting QB more than the Bucs do, either. However, Freeman is not an immediate answer. The battle to be this year’s starter just got more crowded with the recent signing of Byron Leftwich. Luke McCown and Brian Griese will also figure into the equation. One of those three will not make the team if Freeman is the pick and the Bucs need two good years out of whoever wins the battle.

20. Lions (from DAL): Peria Jerry, DT, Ole Miss
The Lions are probably hoping one of the top four OTs fall to this spot, but that's a no-go in this projection. The debate here is between Jerry, USC LB Rey Maualuga and Illinois CB Vontae Davis. DT might be the biggest need on the defensive side for Detroit since the trade of Cory Redding to Seattle for LB Julian Peterson.

21. Eagles: Knowshon Moreno, RB, Georgia
Moreno is a perfect fit for what the Eagles want out of their RBs. He's one of the better receivers out of the backfield in this draft class. Everyone says the Eagles need a power back. That simply isn't what Andy Reid likes to do. Moreno is a complete back, though, and could eventually replace Brian Westbrook.

22. Vikings: Darius Butler, CB, UConn
I'm moving Butler ahead of Vontae Davis because of his skill set, not because of allegations of drug use on Davis' part. In fact, there is no proof of anyone failing a drug test at the combine. So far, it appears a third-rate website was just trying to make a name for itself. Butler has the best ball skills of any CB in the draft. He's a playmaker in the secondary and teams stopped throwing the ball his way during his senior year at UConn.

23. Patriots: Percy Harvin, WR, Florida
Apparently, Harvin is the only player at the NFL Scouting Combine who actually tested positive for marijuana. It is a red flag on Harvin and will cause him to drop out of the top 20. However, don’t read too much into it. He’s not going to go into a freefall out of the first round. He’s too talented for that. The Pats draft best play available regardless of position. They’ll be very interested in Harvin for their spread offense. He’s not going to fall past Baltimore at 26.

24. Falcons: Clay Matthews, LB, USC
I liked Matthews at No. 15 overall to Houston because of his ability to defend the pass. However, he’ll fall to the Falcons who need to replace both their starting OLBs as Keith Brooking (Dallas) and Michael Boley (Giants) have both departed. Matthews would play opposite Mike Peterson, who was signed as a free agent from Jacksonville. Curtis Lofton will man the middle, giving Atlanta great potential at the position.

25. Dolphins: Rey Maualuga, LB, USC
Make it two Trojans in a row. Maualuga is one of the most vicious players in this draft. His attitude on the field is similar to Ray Lewis'. He has a habit of overrunning plays, though, and that is the biggest reason he's slipping in this draft. He's a solid fit in the 3-4 and the Dolphins should benefit greatly from having him man the middle of their defense. He's a tackling machine and should be considered a prime candidate for Defensive Rookie of the Year.

26. Ravens: Darrius Heyward-Bey, WR, Maryland
The Ravens get a hometown boy with the ability to be the premier wide receiver they have always lacked as a franchise. He's underrated right now and the Ravens should consider him a steal.

27. Colts: Donald Brown, RB, UConn
Arguably, Brown might be the back geared to make the biggest difference during his rookie season over any other back in the NFL. The Colts have to find a reliable back to take some of the pressure and carries from the suddenly injury-prone Joseph Addai.

28. Bills (from PHI): Michael Johnson, DE, Ga. Tech
Brandon Pettigrew is a possibility here, but I really don’t think he’s going to be a first-round selection. The Bills have two big needs – OT and DE. They took Andre Smith at 11 and now get an athletic DE in Johnson with this pick they acquired from the Eagles for OT Jason Peters. Johnson is a physical specimen with a great frame and incredible athleticism. He’s yet to live up to his potential, but he’s got teams and scouts salivating over his potential.

29. Giants: Brian Robiskie, WR, Ohio State
Robiskie has quietly moved up draft boards. That kind of goes with his personality. He’s a Marvin Harrison-type of worker, who just comes in and does his job. The limelight is not needed for Robiskie to shine. That’s a change the Giants DO need, though.

30. Titans: Evander Hood, DT, Missouri
Hood won’t relieve all the pain caused by the departure of Albert Haynesworth, but he’s a step in the right direction. Hood’s stock is rising and he could be off the board as early as 23 to New England.

31. Cardinals: Vontae Davis, CB, Illinois
This is a significant drop for a player once thought to be a potential top 10 pick. Turns out he’s not as athletic as expected and some questions about his character have also been brought up. Still, he’s a playmaker on defense and special teams and will be a welcome addition in both regards by Arizona.

32. Steelers: Alex Mack, OC, Cal
Mack could be off the board as high as Pick 24 to Atlanta. He’s the best interior lineman in this draft and fits the Steelers power blocking scheme well.

Second round
33. Lions: Eben Britton, OT, Ole Miss
Britton has great value here and gives the Lions a great option at either LT or RT to play opposite last year’s first-round pick Gosder Cherilus. Expect Britton, Cherilus or, most likely, Jeff Backus to make a move inside to OG.

34. Patriots (from KC): Brandon Pettigrew, TE, Oklahoma State
This isn’t a need pick, but more of a luxury. Pettigrew is the best player available and New England drafts with that style regardless of position.

35. Rams: Hakeem Nicks, WR, North Carolina
Nicks has the best hands of the WRs in this draft and his circus catches at the end of UNC’s season put him high on many draft boards.

36. Browns: Alphonso Smith, CB, Wake Forest
Size matters in the draft only. Once a player is on the field, it can easily be overcome. Smith plays bigger than he is. He’s a couple inches away from being a surefire first rounder.

37. Seahawks: Louis Delmas, S, Western Michigan
Delmas is going to be a hot commodity by this point and several teams will probably make a bid to move up for him.

38. Bengals: James Laurinaitis, LB, Ohio State
This is a steal for Cincy. The Bengals should be valuing a player like Laurinaitis highly. He’d come in as the most instinctive LB on the roster and has no character issues. Finally, they get a guy capable of being an absolute answer to filling the MLB role.

39. Jaguars: Ron Brace, DT, Boston College
Brace doesn’t get the hype of his teammate B.J. Raji, but his a hole-clogger, frequently occupying multiple blockers. He’s the replacement for Marcus Stroud.

40. Raiders: Max Unger, OC, Oregon
The Raiders allowed their center from last season Jake Grove to go to Miami. Unger might already be an upgrade, though.

41. Packers: Jarron Gilbert, DE, San Jose State
Gilbert is going to be a hot commodity because he’s one of the better options available to play the 3-4 DE spot. It’s almost the natural position for him in the NFL.

42. Bills: Jared Cook, TE, South Carolina
Cook is the fastest TE in the draft and has the potential to be the Bills’ version of Dallas Clark.

43. 49ers: LeSean McCoy, RB, Pitt
Reports say the Niners are looking for a reliable back to split carries with Frank Gore. McCoy was once thought of as a first round pick. He slipped some because of injuries, but remains a home run threat every time he touches the ball.

44. Dolphins (from WAS): Larry English, LB, Northern Illinois
English’s stock slipped some after a fantastic Senior Bowl. He still projects as one of several tweeners in this draft class who can contribute at OLB in the 3-4.

45. Giants (from NO): William Beatty, OT, UConn
There are some discouraging feelings coming from the Giants about the performance of RT Kareem McKenzie. They provide McKenzie some competition by drafting Beatty, who could end up being a LT prospect.

46. Texans: Kenny Britt, WR, Rutgers
Taking Britt allows the Texans to line him up opposite Andre Johnson then moves Kevin Walter to the slot where he’s more suited.

47. Patriots (from SD): D.J. Moore, CB, Vanderbilt
Moore ran much slower than expected, but he’s a proven playmaker on offensive, defense and special teams. The Pats will find a spot for him to succeed.

48. Broncos: Connor Barwin, LB, Cincinnati
Barwin is one of the more versatile players available and plays full tilt at all times. Denver continues to load up on players who fit the 3-4 scheme.

49. Bears: Duke Robinson, OG, Oklahoma
The Bears are still aging rapidly on the line and need to make an investment to help out dynamic RB Matt Forte.

50. Browns (from TB): Clint Sintim, LB, Virginia
One of, if not the biggest, needs for the Browns is at OLB. Sintim has four years of experience playing at the position for a 3-4 defense in college.

51. Cowboys: Patrick Chung, S, Oregon
Chung is the most underrated player in this draft right now. He’s undoubtedly the best strong safety in this class, in my opinion, and would compete for the starting job in Dallas as a rookie.

52. Jets: Sean Smith, DB, Utah
Smith could fill one of two holes for the Jets. He could go to FS and give them a solid option next to Pro Bowler Kerry Rhodes. Or he could lineup across the field from Darrelle Revis at CB. Their choice.

53. Eagles: James Casey, TE, Rice
There’s a decent chance the Eagles address their need for a WR through trade. Casey is a good replacement for L.J. Smith, but with more ability to stretch the middle of the field.

54. Vikings: Louis Murphy, WR, Florida
Murphy got overlooked because of the presence of Percy Harvin at Florida. He was the most talented WR the Gators had, though, and has a spectacular speed-size ratio.

55. Falcons: Sen’Derrick Marks, DT, Auburn
Marks gives Atlanta a replacement for the once dominant Rod Coleman. One could easily call Marks’ style of play similar to Coleman’s.

56. Dolphins: William Moore, S, Missouri
Moore was once thought of as a first round pick as the elite safety prospect in this draft. A poor senior bowl sent his stock plummeting to the mid-rounds. He has run well in workouts and teams are no longer thinking he’s a LB at the pro level, but instead of strong safety capable of making a big difference near the line of scrimmage.

57. Ravens: Mike Mickens, CB, Cincinnati
Mickens is one of the better technicians at the CB position in the draft. He doesn’t have elite athleticism, but plays well within himself.

58. Patriots: Jamon Meredith, OT, South Carolina
Meredith is undersized for the Pats’ scheme, but has the frame to add some bulk and not lose any of his athleticism. He’s a good pass protector, which makes him attractive to the pass-heavy Pats.

59. Panthers: Fili Moala, DT, USC
The Panthers like their DTs big in order to occupy blockers. Moala fits that bill and would play the same role he did in college with Maualuga playing behind him.

60. Giants: Kaluka Maiava, LB, USC
That’s right. There was a fourth talented LB at USC. Maiava was the Defensive MVP at the Rose Bowl. How does that team ever lose with all the talent they store away on a depth chart? Maiava doesn’t have the size Maualuga or Cushing possess, but is quick and instinctive. He’ll need to play on the weakside, though.

61. Colts: Marcus Freeman, LB, Ohio State
Freeman fits the Colts scheme well as he’s very athletic in pass coverage and is a solid tackler once the reception is made underneath him. Finally, the Colts have a player capable of replacing the production Cato June once had.

62. Titans: Austin Collie, WR, BYU
Collie is a bit underrated right now. He’s got a great size/speed ratio with solid hands and comes from a pass-happy scheme. He would project as a starter for Tennessee.

63. Cardinals: Ian Johnson, RB, Boise State
Johnson is starting to climb back up boards after having to share carries at Boise in his senior season. He’s a very good complement to the bigger Tim Hightower.

64. Steelers: Kevin Barnes, CB, Maryland
Barnes is making a late surge up draft boards. He’s one of the hardest hitting tacklers in the draft, despite being a CB. Just ask Cal RB Jahvid Best. Go to YouTube.

Third round
65. Lions: Gerald McRath, LB, Southern Miss
McRath has phenomenal speed and is fluid changing directions. He fills a major void for Detroit and can play with little pressure because of Ernie Sims and Julian Peterson on either side of him.

66. Rams: Paul Kruger, DE, Utah
Kruger is a fighter and has been his entire life. He draws comparison’s to Green Bay’s Aaron Kampman.

67. Chiefs: Herman Johnson, OG, LSU
Johnson is huge. That might be an understatement. When he was born, he set the record as the largest baby ever. Teams with a power blocking scheme will value him highly.

68. Seahawks: Eric Wood, OC, Louisville
Center might actually be Seattle’s biggest need. Wood is being overlooked because of Max Unger and Alex Mack, but he’s not far behind them.

69. Cowboys (from CLE): Pat White, QB, West Virginia
Owner Jerry Jones has publicly said he wants to draft a player capable of running the Wildcat offense efficiently. No one projects better for that scheme than White.

70. Bengals: Andre Brown, RB, NC State
Brown is a big back, who might not be available this late. He’s so athletic and has had scouts in awe since he was in high school. He’s never lived up to his potential, though.

71. Raiders: Darcel McBath, S, Texas Tech
McBath is a ballhawk and fits at FS for the Raiders next to fellow Texan Michael Huff.

72. Jaguars: Phil Loadholt, OT, Oklahoma
Talk about a player being appropriately named. Loadholt fits the power blocking scheme the Jags would prefer to run.

73. Packers: Kraig Urbik, OG, Wisconsin
The Pack get a kid from their home state capable of playing OG or OT on the strong side of their line.

74. 49ers: Rashad Johnson, S, Alabama
Johnson has fantastic instincts and could find himself coming off the board in the mid-second. He’s a nice value here for San Fran, which has a big need at FS.

75. Bills: Jason Williams, LB, Western Illinois
Williams is beginning to fly up draft boards with his solid workouts and impressive athleticism. His selection here would make him the first non-combine invitee drafted.

76. Jets (from NO): Shawn Nelson, TE, Southern Miss
Nelson is one of the most athletic TEs in this draft. He was productive at Southern Miss for the past three seasons. Draws a lot of comparison’s to Denver’s Tony Scheffler.

77. Texans: Rashad Jennings, RB, Liberty
The Texans would like to get a power back to complement the speedy Steve Slaton in the backfield. Jennings fits that bill and is the first small school prospect off the board.

78. Chargers: Chip Vaughn, S, Wake Forest
Vaughn has the size to be a weakside LB in a 4-3, but the speed and agility to fit at safety. He’s not a phenomenal defender against the pass, but is enough of a threat over the middle to make WRs think twice.

79. Broncos: Dorell Scott, DT, Clemson
Quality defensive linemen who fit a 3-4 defense can be hard to find because the scheme is not used heavily at the college level. Scott has the ability to play DE or DT in the scheme and could find a late surge in his draft stock because of it.

80. Redskins: Troy Kropog, OT, Tulane
The ‘Skins addressed one of their biggest needs by going DE in the first round, now can fix a hole at RT. This pick might belong to Jacksonville or Oakland, though, if they make the move for Sanchez.

81. Buccaneers: Victor Harris, CB, Va. Tech
Harris is one of the most impressive CBs in this draft on film. He’s a little limited athletically and that’s the only reason he’s not a late-first or early-second round pick.

82. Lions (from DAL): Asher Allen, CB, Georgia
Allen is raw and would have benefited from another year in school, but he’s got great potential at a prime position.

83. Packers (from NYJ): Fenuki Topou, OT, Oregon
Tupou is massive, standing at 6-6. He’s got great potential to be a stalwart at LT for many years.

84. Broncos (from CHI): Ricky Jean-Francois, DE, LSU
Denver continues to load up on guys for the 3-4 scheme. Now they address the all-important DE spot. Jean-Francois will be drafted higher than he should because of his ability to play that position.

85. Eagles: Juaquin Iglesias, WR, Oklahoma
Iglesias was once considered a sure-fire first rounder, but his stock has slipped some due to limited speed. Philly will love his ability to be a possession WR opposite DeSean Jackson and Kevin Curtis.

86. Vikings: Stephen McGee, QB, Texas A&M
McGee has probably made the biggest move among QBs this offseason. He’s never played in a pro-style offense, but is athletic and has a better-than-expected arm. Teams wanting to add a player to initiate the Wildcat offense should target him.

87. Dolphins: Sherrod Martin, CB, Troy
Martin is a diverse player, who could end up being a FS in the NFL.

88. Ravens: Cornelius Ingram, TE, Florida
Ingram would go much higher if it wasn’t for an injury that cost him his senior year. The Ravens need a player capable of filling in for the oft-injured Todd Heap, who has trade rumors circling him.

89. Patriots: Lawrence Sidbury, LB, Richmond
Sidbury is a hot name, coming from a successful small-school program. Richmond won a FCS championship last season.

90. Falcons: Kyle Moore, DE, USC
I wanted to have Moore off the board a few picks higher than this, but couldn’t find a spot for him. As a result, the Falcons get great value for a talented player here.

91. Giants: Chase Coffman, TE, Missouri
Coffman was once thought of as a first-round pick, but injuries have set him back. The Giants get a nice, more talented compliment opposite Kevin Boss.

92. Colts: Derrick Williams, WR, Penn State
Williams is faster on the field than his 40 time indicates. He’s a poor man’s Percy Harvin in this class.

93. Panthers: Zack Follett, LB, Cal
Carolina has some definite needs on the DL still, but get better value at another need position with Follett.

94. Titans: Coye Francies, CB, San Jose State
Interesting to see San Jose State have two players off the board before more illustrious programs such as Michigan, Notre Dame or Miami even has one.

95. Cardinals: Andy Levitre, OG, Oregon State
Running the ball more efficiently has to be priority No. 1 for the Cards’ offense this offseason. Levitre is technically sound and has experience at OG and OT. He’ll probably be an OG due to his lack of height, though.

96. Steelers: Mohamed Massaquoi, WR, Georgia
Ben Roethlisberger complained about not having big targets to throw to before last year’s draft. The Steelers drafted Limas Sweed in response. They add another big, possession WR in Massaquoi.

97. Patriots: Scott McKillop, LB, Pitt
McKillop sifts through traffic better than any other MLB in this draft, making him a prime candidate for a 3-4 defense.

98. Bengals: Antoine Caldwell, OC, Alabama
Caldwell doesn’t fit Cincy’s scheme greatly, but has great technique, which will allow him to adapt.

99. Bears: Jasper Brinkley, LB, South Carolina
Brinkley is a physical specimen, who was productive in college. He’s great insurance for the aging Brian Urlacher.

100. Giants: Keenan Lewis, CB, Oregon State
Lewis has fought injury problems, but emerged during his senior season and had a solid week of practice at the Senior Bowl.

Fourth round
101. Cowboys (from DET): Mike Thomas, WR, Arizona
The Cowboys need more speed at the WR position and Thomas definitely fits that bill with a 4.3 40.

102. Chiefs: Lydon Murtha, OT, Nebraska
Murtha surprised a lot of people at the combine, when he ran a 40 in the 4.8 range. He’s athletic and has the raw potential to be a LT in the league.

103. Rams: Nate Davis, QB, Ball State
At one point, many thought Davis could be a first round pick. There are reports now saying he’s going to fall to the seventh round. I’m going to meet in the middle here.

104. Browns: Emmanuel Cook, S, South Carolina
Cook is one of the best athletes at the safety position in this draft. However, he’s got a long way to go with his instincts and technique.

105. Seahawks: Shonn Greene, RB, Iowa
Greene has plummeted after running some very pedestrian 40s. He’s going to be a good back in a timeshare for someone.

106. Bengals: Gerald Cadogan, OT, Penn State
Cadogan is really the last of the second tier of OTs in this draft. The Bengals might address this position earlier as it is a major need. The draft just never fell that way for them, though.

107. Jaguars: Chris Owens, CB, San Jose State
Three San Jose State players have now been taken before a single player from Notre Dame, Miami and Michigan. Oh how the mighty have fallen.

108. Dolphins (OAK): Jarett Dillard, WR, Rice
Dillard might be the most underrated wideout in this draft. He’s not incredibly fast and doesn’t have elite size. He always finds a way to catch up to any ball and make the catch, though.

109. Packers: Jairus Byrd, CB, Oregon
Byrd is coming off a groin injury and didn’t work out. His lack of a true workout and questions about his speed are going to send him down boards a bit. At one point, he looked like a second-round pick.

110. Bills: Trevor Canfield, OG, Cincinnati
There is some concern about Canfield’s lack of wingspan, but he projects as a fine run blocker.

111. 49ers: Kevin Ogletree, WR, Virginia
Ogletree surprised many with his decision to leave early, but turned some heads during workouts with his speed, agility and decent size.

112. Texans: Alex Magee, DT, West Virginia
Magee is a great athlete for his size and gives Houston another option as he’s placed in a rotation with Travis Johnson and Amobi Okoye.

113. Chargers: Cedric Peerman, RB, Virginia
There is some controversy at the RB position for San Diego, which is strange to say with Ladainian Tomlinson involved in the backfield. Eventually, the Bolts have to choose Tomlinson or Darren Sproles. A replacement for the other will be needed and Peerman has some nice intangibles.

114. Broncos: Jonathan Luigs, OC, Arkansas
The Broncos won’t stray too much from their infamous zone-blocking scheme and Luigs is a good answer for the future of the center position.

115. Jets (from WAS): David Bruton, S, Notre Dame
Bruton is the only player from Notre Dame that will surely be drafted this season.

116. Saints: Darry Beckwith, LB, LSU
Beckwith played in the middle for LSU, but could make a move to the strong side. He’d also be a nice insurance policy for the oft-injured Jonathan Vilma.

117. Cowboys: Bradley Fletcher, CB, Iowa
While the Senior Bowl gets all the hype, Fletcher is proof of a player gaining in stock thanks to a solid performance at the East-West Shrine Game. Some teams will look at Fletcher as a free safety.

118. Saints (from JETS): Travis Beckhum, TE, Wisconsin
If not for injuries, Beckhum might be an early second-round pick. Instead, the Saints get a chance to take a waiver on a player who is a proven difference-maker when healthy.

119. Bears: Johnny Knox, WR, Abilene Christian
Knox is a Division II prospect from a school that averaged 52.3 points and 558.8 yards of offense per game. The Bears already have one former player from ACU on their roster – safety and kick returner Danieal Manning.

120. Buccaneers: Vance Walker, DT, Ga. Tech
Walker was the anchor of a talented Ga. Tech DL. He’s got the proper build and strength to occupy blockers, allowing LBs to flow freely to the ball.

121. Bills (from PHI): Chris Clemons, S, Clemson
Clemons was often overlooked in the Clemson defensive secondary, but appears to be a safe, consistent pick. He’s also durable and never missed a game due to injury.

122. Texans (from MIN): Michael Hamlin, S, Clemson
Hamlin follows his safety teammate off the board. Hamlin always received more attention than Clemons, but both project to about the same spot. Hamlin is a pure strong safety in the NFL with great ability to support the run.

123. Ravens: Mitch King, DE, Iowa
King plays with a constant motor. He probably projects more to a 3-4 DE than he does a 4-3.

124. Patriots: Louis Vasquez, OG, Texas Tech
Vasquez was a leader on one of the best OL in the country. He’s got massive strength and can drive the biggest of defenders off the ball.

125. Falcons: Cody Brown, LB, UConn
Brown was a DE in college, but he’s a LB at the pro level. He seems to have the ability to even make a move as a LB in the 4-3. He could also play with his hand on the ground in passing situations.

126. Raiders (from MIA): David Veikune, DE, Hawaii
Veikune is a high-motor player, who probably fits as just a rush end at this point.

127. Colts: DeAngelo Smith, CB, Cincinnati
Smith is limited athletically, but could have those shortcomings covered up in a Cover 2 defense.

128. Panthers: Ramses Barden, WR, Cal-Poly
Barden is a big body, but don’t mistaken him for just a possession guy. He’s got enough speed to stretch the field, despite having the build of a tight end.

129. Giants: Jeremiah Johnson, RB, Oregon
The Giants have struck gold with backs in the middle and later rounds of the draft. Brandon Jacobs was a fourth-round pick. Ahmad Bradshaw came in the seventh. Derrick Ward, who Johnson will replace, was a seventh-round pick by the Jets.

130. Titans: Cameron Morrah, TE, Cal
Morrah is drawing significant attention with his athleticism and potential. Still, he probably could have benefitted from another year of school.

131. Cardinals: Augustus Parrish, OT, Kent State
Parrish is a three-year starter with long arms and good athleticism. He was a bit of an underachiever at Kent State, though.

132. Steelers: Victor Butler, LB, Oregon State
Butler has always been underrated and that holds true in this draft as well. He’s going to be a nice find for a 3-4 team in the middle rounds of the draft.

133. Chargers: Sebastian Vollmer, OG, Houston
Vollmer has the size and agility to be an OT, but has more experience at OG. He could project at either position in the NFL.

134. Chargers: Aaron Kelly, WR, Clemson
Kelly has the ability stretch the field and an uncanny ability to come down with jump balls.

135. Titans: Rhett Bomar, QB, Sam Houston State
Bomar might have been a top round pick if he hadn’t have been dismissed from Oklahoma for receiving illegal funds from a booster. He’s got a strong arm and the Titans need a No. 3 QB, who can potentially be the future if Vince Young doesn’t ever quite make it back.

136. Colts: Dannell Elerbe, LB, Georgia
Elerbe was a productive LB in college with experience at all three LB positions. He’s been compared to Bart Scott.

Fifth round
137. Seahawks (from DET): Matt Shaughnessy, DE, Wisconsin
Shaughnessy has a great motor, but is better defending the run than rushing the passer. Doesn’t have great explosion, but his long arms keep blockers from getting into him.

138. Falcons (from STL): Keith Fitzhugh, S, Mississippi State
Fitzhugh was impressive during his pro day and went from priority free agent to mid-round pick.

139. Chiefs: Chris Baker, DE, Hampton
Hampton has developed some nice NFL-caliber defensive linemen the past two seasons. Baker landed there after falling out of favor at Penn State with off-the-field trouble. He’s played both NT and DE in the 3-4.

140. Bears (from SEA, through DEN): Derek Peques, S, Mississippi State
Chicago’s once dominant defense took a major step backwards in 2008 and the Bears need to add players at every level. Peques is a little undersized for free safety, but was All-SEC at cornerback as a sophomore, then received the same honor at free safety as a junior and senior.

141. Eagles (from CLE): Brandon Williams, DE, Texas Tech
Williams is a great athlete capable of turning the corner against many OTs. He needs to develop some pass rushing moves, but has lots of upside.

142. Bengals: Gartrell Johnson, FB, Colorado State
As a RB, Johnson probably won’t get drafted, but when teams view him as a FB and have a need at the little-used position, he becomes the leading candidate to fill a void.

143. Falcons (from OAK): Ladarius Webb, CB, Nicholls State
Webb is garnering a lot of attention heading into the draft as a CB and a kick returner.

144. Jaguars: Mike Wallace, WR, Ole Miss
The Jags need to spend a couple picks replenishing their WR corps. Wallace helps with the speed factor.

145. Packers: Darius Hill, TE, Ball State
Hill is a real sleeper in this draft. He was very productive in college and is one of the better receiving options at TE available.

146. 49ers: Anthony Parker, OG, Tennessee
Parker is a good drive blocker and could be an upgrade to a run game. Does have some red flags, including a knee injury as well as some legal troubles.

147. Bills: Javon Ringer, RB, Michigan State
Ringer is a powerful back, who has seen his stock steadily decline. It’s less about what he did and more about what other backs in the draft accomplished, though.

148. Chargers: Roy Miller, DT, Texas
Miller’s draft stock has surged lately, so this might be too low of a projection for him. He has the ability to be a NT in the 3-4.

149. Broncos: Kory Sheets, RB, Purdue
Sheets is an agile back with a second gear that can take him to the end zone on any carry.

150. Redskins: Jason Phillips, LB, TCU
Phillips slipped on boards because of a knee injury suffered at the combine that required surgery. Before the injury, he might have been the third best MLB in this class.

151. Giants (from NO): Orion Martin, DE/LB, Va. Tech
Martin flashed some ability at Va. Tech to play standing up. The Giants like a player capable of rushing the passer from multiple positions. Martin fits that bill.

152. Texans: Tyrone McKenzie, LB, South Florida
McKenzie has slid down draft boards because of limited athleticism. It’s hard to argue against his production in college, though.

153. Eagles (from JETS): A.Q. Shipley, OC, Penn State
Shipley has a great mean streak and is as physical as it gets at the point of attack. It helps that he used to play nose tackle.

154. Bears: Joe Burnett, CB, UCF
Burnett plays with a lot of confidence and is a leader. His lack of top-end speed with drop him, though.

155. Buccaneers: Tiquan Underwood, WR, Rutgers
Underwood gets overlooked for college teammate Kenny Britt, but was a productive receiver as a junior with 1,100 yards. Britt was the beneficiary of attention placed on the speedy Underwood in 2008.

156. Cowboys: Ray Feinga, OG, BYU
Dallas has a big weakness at left guard and need to at least provide the incumbents at the position some competition. Feinga fits Dallas’ power scheme.

157. Eagles: Robert Francois, LB, Boston College
Francois at least looks the part of an NFL player with his build. He’s got a mean streak that defensive coordinators will love. Was also named the team’s special teams player of the year.

158. Vikings: Joel Bell, OT, Furman
This is a prime need for the Vikes. Bell dominated at the FCS level and has the size and athleticism to transcend to the NFL.

159. Eagles (from NE): Donald Washington, CB, Ohio State
All the attention in the Ohio State secondary went to Malcolm Jenkins. Washington quietly had a solid season and scouts are starting to take notice.

160. Rams (from ATL): Greg Toler, CB, St. Paul’s
Toler is a Division III prospect, who is gaining a lot of momentum heading into the weekend. He’s got good size and quickness with great recovery speed. He’s been compared to Marcus Trufant.

161. Dolphins: Terrence Taylor, DT, Michigan
Taylor fits as the all-important NT for the 3-4 scheme used by Miami. As seems to be typical with Michigan DTs, work ethic is an issue.

162. Ravens: T.J. Lang, OG, Michigan State
Some sources are projecting Lang as high as the second round. Maybe I’m missing on him, but I like Lang better in the 4-5 round range.

163. Panthers: Louie Sakoda, PK, Utah
There hasn’t been a more clutch kicker in college football over the past few years. He’s a pretty solid punter, too.

164. Giants: C.J. Spillman, S, Marshall
Spillman is a ball-hawking safety with all the physical tools needed for the position. His biggest issue is discipline.

165. Colts: Andrew Hartline, OT, Central Michigan
Hartline has the athleticism to be a good LT, but needs to add some bulk. His best fit is in a zone-blocking scheme.

166. Cowboys (from TEN): Sammie Lee Hill, DT, Stillman
Hill is a huge, literally, NT prospect. Dallas would hope he could allow Jay Ratliff to play some more at DE.

167. Cardinals: Richard Quinn, TE, North Carolina
Quinn is a solid run blocker with the ability to use his body to shield defenders off to make a catch. Nothing more than a short-range target, though.

168. Steelers: Andrew Gardner, OT, Ga. Tech
Gardner doesn’t have much experience as a pass blocker in college, which makes him a prime RT for a run-based team.

169. Steelers: Tom Brandstater, QB, Fresno State
The No. 3 QB spot is available at Pittsburg. Brandstater has the prototypical size desired in the NFL, but doesn’t have a strong arm.

170. Patriots: Zach Potter, DE, Nebraska
Potter can fit as a DE in the 3-4 scheme, making him a likely late-round pick for a team with the scheme.

171. 49ers: Phillip Hunt, LB, Houston
Hunt will have to learn to play on his feet. He’s got size similar to that of LaMarr Woodley.

172. Cowboys: Xavier Fulton, OT, Illinois
Fulton might be considered a steal here. He’s a good athlete with rare tools, but needs to get stronger. A shoulder injury might push him down boards.

173. Titans: Frantz Joseph, LB, FAU
Joseph is one of the more underrated LBs in this class with the ability to really make the pads pop.

Sixth round
174. Lions: Kory Sperry, TE, Colorado State
Sperry is a big target with the uncanny ability to leap and catch a ball at its highest point. He should be a red zone threat for any team.
175. Chiefs: Deon Butler, WR, Penn State
Butler can fly down the field and would bring a much-needed dimension to the Chiefs’ offense.

176. Falcons (from Rams): Jon Cooper, OC, Oklahoma
The Falcons have few needs offensively with the recent addition of Tony Gonzales, but center might be the most glaring one.

177. Browns: Glen Coffee, RB, Alabama
Cleveland needs depth in the backfield. Coffee should have stayed in school, but his nice mix of size and speed should give him a chance to contribute at the next level.

178. Seahawks: Nathan Brown, QB, Central Arkansas
Brown is a bit undersized, but teams trying to find the next great late-round QB will look hard at him. His instincts and accuracy are top notch.

179. Bengals: Jonathan Casillas, LB, Wisconsin
Casillas would be another high-character addition for the Bengals’ LB crew. He might come off the board earlier if it wasn’t for a knee injury. However, he did play through the pain of it.

180. Jaguars: Kevin Ellison, S, USC
Is Ellison a safety or LB? The Jags need both so the pick makes sense.

181. Dolphins (from OAK): Clinton McDonald, DE, Memphis
McDonald has great quickness for a player his size, making him a prime candidate to play DE in a 3-4. He can also be a 3-tech when the Dolphins go with the 4-3.

182. Packers: Courney Greene, S, Rutgers
Limited athleticism has sent Greene tumbling down draft boards.

183. Bills: Brandon Underwood, S, Cincinnati
The Bills are set at CB, but need to find some players who can contribute more in the deep secondary.

184. 49ers: Robert Brewster, OT, Ball State
Brewster has plenty of experience pass blocking and could develop into a good left tackle.

185. Broncos: Patrick Turner, WR, USC
Turner is a big body and red zone threat, although, he really lost a lot of playing time his senior year. It won’t be surprising if he isn’t drafted based on the past busts of USC WRs Mike Williams and Dwayne Jarrett.

186. Redskins: Jason Watkins, OT, Florida
This is a second OT taken by Washington. The ‘Skins need to get at least that many out of this draft.

187. Packers (from NO): Demonte Bolden, DE, Tennessee
Bolden was once considered one of the top DTs in the country. He plays with enough quickness and size to be a good space eater in a 3-4.

188. Texans: Jaimie Thomas, OG, Maryland
The Texans’ OL has made huge strides over the past two seasons. Thomas was a three-year starter at Maryland with the ability to block to the second level consistently.

189. Chargers: Antonio Appleby, LB, Virginia
Appleby is a big body, who has played ILB in the 3-4 for four seasons.

190. Bears: Derek Walker, DE, Illinois
Walker didn’t test well, but he plays much faster than he runs.

191. Buccaneers: Graham Gano, PK, Florida State
Gano was probably the best kicker in the nation last year and put on a clinic in the Seminoles’ bowl game.

192. Lions (from DAL): Brandon Gibson, WR, Washington State
Gibson is a productive wide receiver, who didn’t test well. The Lions use a pick acquired from Dallas for Roy Williams to add a weapon back into the receiving corps.

193. Jets: Cullen Harper, QB, Clemson
The Jets would like to take a QB earlier than this, but after Freeman, the selections aren’t as illustrious. Harper has a big arm, but was very inconsistent his senior year.

194. Eagles: Curtis Taylor, S, LSU
Taylor was a playmaker for LSU and will be a steal at this spot. He’s not fast, but his instincts are second to none.

195. Eagles (from MIN): Nic Harris, LB, Oklahoma
Harris could end up being a SS, but also might be a nice find as a developmental LB.

196. Rams (from ATL): James Davis, RB, Clemson
Davis has got the burst of speed many teams like on film, but it didn’t translate to his 40.

197. Cowboys (from MIA): Pannel Egboh, DE, Stanford
Dallas needs more players to plug into a rotation on the DL for its 3-4 scheme.

198. Ravens: Alex Boone, OT, Ohio State
Some scouts think Boone is a third-round pick. The sixth round seems much more likely.

199. Patriots: Mike Goodson, RB, Texas A&M
Goodson could find himself earning carries at New England if the Pats have as many injuries in the backfield as last season. They’re going to use a zone-blocking scheme more this year and the slashing Goodson fits it well.

200. Giants: Tim Jamison, DE, Michigan
Jamison wasn’t overly productive at Michigan, but was solid throughout his career. The Giants’ DEs wore down significantly at the end of the season so depth is needed.

201. Colts: George Hypolite, DT, Colorado
Hypolite is the best chance Colorado has of having a player picked in this year’s draft.

202. Panthers: Ryan Purvis, TE, Boston College
Purvis is a big body who has experience in run blocking from his time at BC.

203. Titans: Manny Johnson, WR, Oklahoma
Johnson is being overlooked, but projects as a fantastic slot WR in the NFL.

204. Cardinals: Brice McCain, CB, Utah
McCain turned some heads with his speed, but his skills are very raw.

205. Steelers: John Faletoese, DE, Cal-Davis
Faletoese has the ability to be a space-eater as a 5-tech in the 3-4 scheme.

206. Titans: Sammie Stroughter, WR, Oregon State
The Titans need speed at WR and pick up a fine kick returner here as well.

207. Patriots: Khalif Mitchell, DT, ECU
Mitchell is 6-5 and 318 pounds, but raw. His role in the NFL might be a simple one, though – take up blockers.

208. Cowboys: Quan Cosby, WR, Texas
Cosby compares to Wes Welker as a guy with great quickness capable of finding the open spot on the field from the slot position.

209. Bengals: Anthony Hill, TE, NC State
Hill is an athletic TE and could find some playing time in Cincy where there isn’t much depth at the position.

Seventh round
210. Cowboys (from DET): Rashon Harris, DE, Oregon
Weighing nearly 300 pounds and running a sub 5.0 40 makes Harris a prime candidate for a 3-4 DE.

211. Rams: Mark Hafner, FB, Houston
Hafner is a classic H-back, who could be used in a variety of ways.

212. Chiefs: Corvey Irvin, DT, Georgia
Irvin could be used as a 3-4 DE or in a rotation at the 3-tech in a 4-3.

213. Seahawks: Kenny McKinley, WR, South Carolina
McKinley didn’t play in a great pass offense, but flashed some athleticism in workouts.

214. Dolphins (from CLE): David Johnson, QB, Tulsa
Johnson put up big numbers at Tulsa and could be a nice late-round developmental QB.

215. Bengals: Greg Isdaner, OG, West Virginia
Isdaner is agile for his size, but incredibly raw in his blocking technique. He played in a system in college that doesn’t come close to a pro-style offense.

216. Raiders: Selvish Capers, OT, West Virginia
Back-to-back for Mountaineers linemen. Capers has the ability to develop into a nice reserve RT.

217. Buccaneeers (from JAX): Ian Campbell, DE, Kansas State
Campbell is undersized, but not athletic enough for a 3-4. He plays faster than his speed would suggest, though.

218. Packers: Terrance Knighton, DT, Temple
Knighton is going to be a nice late find as a NT for a 3-4 team.

219. 49ers: Mike Reilly, QB, Central Washington
The Niners have a need at QB and get a guy who could be worth something in a few seasons.

220. Bills: John Parker Wilson, QB, Alabama
Wilson never lived up to his potential and never seemed to put enough zip on the ball.

221. Vikings (from WAS): Spencer Adkins, LB, Miami
Adkins is the first Hurricane off the board. How weird is that to read?

222. Saints: Jason McCourty, CB, Rutgers
The Saints need a lot of help in the secondary that even a seventh-round pick might be an upgrade.

223. Texans: Garrett Reynolds, OT, North Carolina
Many teams find good depth players in the trenches in late rounds.

224. Chargers: Everette Pendescleaux, DE, Northern Iowa
The Bolts need to replace Igor Olshansky. I’m not saying Pendescleaux achieves that feat alone, but he could help.

225. Broncos: Devin Moore, RB, Wyomind
Moore has blazing speed and if the Broncos continue to zone block, he might fit right in.

226. Steelers (from TB): Lendy Holmes, S, Oklahoma
Holmes was recruited as a WR, then played CB before becoming a FS.

227. Cowboys: Captain Munnerlyn, CB, South Carolina
Munnerlyn has great speed, but his skill set is incredibly raw.

228. Jets: Brandon Tate, WR, North Carolina
Tate will be hurt more by testing positive for pot at the combine than Percy Harvin will.

229. Buccanneers (from CHI): Corey Smith, LB, Cincinnati
Smith has good quickness and some nice tools, leaving teams with belief he has potential to be a starter.

230. Eagles: Darius Passmore, WR, Marshall
His name is appropriate for his position. We’ll see if he demands the ball like his last name does.

231. Vikings: Tyronne Green, OG, Auburn
This is a low projection for him and Minnesota picks up a solid guard here.

232. Jaguars (from MIA): Tyrell Sutton, RB, Northwestern
Sutton is one of the hardest working backs in this draft and don’t be surprised if he finds a way to contribute for someone in the NFL.

233. Buccaneers (fom BAL): Josh Pinkard, S, USC
Pinkard was plagued by injuries at USC, but it’s hard to deny his skill when healthy.

234. Patriots: Josh Mauga, LB, Nevada
Mauga is off the radar and that could benefit the Pats. He was a tackling machine at Nevada.

235. Broncos (from ATL): Eron Riley, WR, Duke
Riley had a nice senior year and potential to do more as he emerged from a solid offense at Duke last season.

236. Colts: Reshard Langford, S, Vanderbilt
Langford playes the game with a linebacker mentality, registering a high amount of tackles.

237. Dolphins (from CAR): Jamarko Simmons, WR, Western Michigan
Simmons was productive at WMU and possesses a large frame, making him a solid possession target. He came to WMU as an RB.

238. Giants: Worrell Williams, LB, Cal
Williams anchored an underachieving defense at Cal. He’s versatile, having played inside in a 3-4 and 4-3 as well as the weak side in a 4-3. Younger brother of Broncos LB D.J. Williams.

239. Titans: Michael Bennett, DE, Texas A&M
Older brother of Dallas TE Martellus Bennett. Michael Bennett is tall with long arms, but lacks great explosiveness of the edge.

240. Cardinals: Stryker Sulak, LB, Missouri
Sulak is a late addition to some draft boards, but he stands out with his 6-5 frame and 4.6 40.

241. Steelers: Davon Drew, TE, ECU
Drew is an underrated athlete, who shined in ECU’s bowl game.

242. Titans: Phil Trautwein, OT, Florida
Trautwein is athletic as a converted TE, but extremely raw in all of his techniques.

243. Redskins: Ashlee Palmer, LB, Ole Miss
Palmer has great straight line speed that he needs to learn to carry over to the football field.

244. 49ers: Jeremy Navarre, DE, Maryland
If a player can fit at a 3-4 DE, chances are he’ll be drafted. Thus is the case with Navarre.

245. Seahawks: Jeremy Childs, WR, Boise State
Childs was one of the best big play WRs Boise State has ever had.

246. Bears: Lee Robinson, LB, Alcorn State
The Bears have had success with small-school products as of late.

247. Seahawks: Andy Kemp, OG, Wisconsin
Kemp is a solid run blocker, but needs to get stronger in the NFL.

248. Seahawks: DeAndre Levy, LB, Wisconsin
Back-to-back Badgers for the Seahawks. Levy was the sparkplug for the Wisconsin defense.

249. Bengals: Myron Prior, DT, Kentucky
A fantastic college DT, who doesn’t project well in the NFL.

250. Jaguars: Blake Schlueter, OC, TCU
Schlueter is very athletic and capable of working to the next level. He needs to add weight to his frame in order to handle NTs.

251. Bears: Daryll Richard, DT, Ga. Tech
The Bears will spend a large majority of their picks on defense, including those late in the draft.

252. Bengals: Jerraud Powers, CB, Auburn
Powers would go higher if it wasn’t for his 5-9 frame.

253. Jaguars: Travis Bright, OG, BYU
Addressing the OL early and late is important for the Jags.

254. Cardinals: Marcus McClinton, S, Kentucky
McClinton was a playmaker for the Wildcats and shined in their bowl game.

255. Lions: Pierre Walters, DE, Eastern Illinois
Walters is as raw as they come, but has turned some heads with his athleticism.

256. Chiefs: Arian Foster, RB, Tennessee
This year’s Mr. Insignificant has a chance of making a difference if he can find his way onto the field.

Excellant, excellant work.

I don't think Denver will take 2 RB's, because the roster still has 6 on it. 2 WR's are possible but I don't see it. Great work though. Can't wait for the draft.
