33. Oakland Raiders
 |
Tony
Ugoh, OT, Arkansas |
| The
Raiders need to add help along the offensive line and the signing of
Jermaine Newberry combined with already having Jake Grove on the
roster should make Ugoh the pick over Ryan Kalil. |
34. Detroit Lions
 |
Trent Edwards, QB, Stanford |
| Edwards is a player who is gaining
steam and the Lions may have their eye on him after passing on Quinn
early in the draft. Edwards has a lot of potential, but he was not
productive in college. |
35. Tampa Bay Bucs
 |
Jarvis Moss, DE, Florida |
| Moss
could go as high as #21 to Denver, but there are concerns about
rather or not he can play full time immediately, due to a lack of
functional strength. In the Tampa 2 system, rushing the passer is a
necessity and Tampa could use a pass rusher. |
36. Cleveland Browns
 |
Eric
Wright, CB, UNLV |
| Cleveland desperately needs a cornerback and
Eric Wright would be a very good pick here. Physically, Wright
should be a Round One pick, but concerns about his off the field
actions and level of competition at UNLV could allow the Browns to
get a great value at a position of need. |
37. Chicago Bears
 |
Justin Blalock, OG/OT, Texas |
|
The Bears have a good offensive line,
but they are getting older. They could use the versatility that
Blalock, one of the strongest and smartest players in the draft. The
Bears could also be tempted by a DT here, but there is little value. |
38. Arizona Cardinals
 |
David
Harris, MLB, Michigan |
| The
Cardinals are going to phase in more 3-4 Defense, and David Harris
would be a terrific addition. Harris has the bulk to play in the 3-4
and the speed to play in the 4-3. Harris is a player who could go
much higher, as high as pick #21. |
39. Atlanta Falcons
 |
Charles Johnson, DE, Georgia |
| After losing
Patrick Kearney, the Falcons need to add a defensive end. Johnson
really shined in 2006 at Georgia. He could provide immediate pass
rushing help for the Falcons. |
40. Miami Dolphins
 |
Anthony Gonzalez, WR, Ohio State |
| The Dolphins could go in several
directions with this pick, but they would like to add a target if
they draft Brady Quinn. They have a decent WR corps, but Gonzalez
would be a solid pick here. |
41. Indianapolis Colts (via
projected trade)
 |
Tank Tyler, DT, NC State |
| The Colts
moved back in a projected trade and desperately need to add some
help at either OLB or DT. The best value is at DT, where Tank Tyler
can immediately help improve their rushing defense. |
42. San Francisco 49ers
 |
Sidney Rice, WR, South Carolina |
| The 49ers
are currently slated to enter the season with Ashley Lelie and Arnaz
Battle starting at WR. Rice is a tremendous value here, as a player
with his combination of ball skills and size is difficult to find.
Rice can team with Vernon Davis to give Alex Smith a pair of top red
zone targets.

43. Buffalo Bills
 |
Marcus McCauley, CB, Fresno State |
| The Bills lost
Nate Clements and can replace him with Marcus McCauley. McCauley has
as much upside as any CB in the draft, but he had a disappointing
senior season. McCauley is an extremely physical player who would
fit the Buffalo system. |
44. Atlanta Falcons
 |
Ben Grubbs, OG, Auburn |
| New head
coach Bobby Petrino is looking to change the offensive line of the
Falcons from a zone blocking team to a power blocking team. Grubbs
is a very strong blocker who is a natural guard and is a very safe
pick here. |
45. Carolina Panthers
 |
Eric Weddle, S, Utah |
| Weddle was
the two time defensive player of year in the Mountain West and would
make a strong addition to a Carolina team that needs help at both
safety positions. Mike Minter's career is winding down and Thomas
Davis is moving to linebacker. |
46. Pittsburgh Steelers
 |
Ryan Kalil, C, USC |
| The Steelers
need a player to replace Jeff Hartings and Kalil would be an
exceptional value here. He could easily go much higher, as he is one
of the best center prospects to enter the NFL Draft ever. |
47. Green Bay Packers
 |
Tanard Jackson, CB/S, Syracuse |
| The
Packers need help in the secondary, as both starting corners are
over 33. Jackson could play nickelback and help at safety
immediately, before stepping in for Harris or Woodson in the future. |
48. Jacksonville Jaguars
 |
Tim Crowder, DE, Texas |
| The
Jaguars have one solid defensive end in Bobby McCary but Paul Spicer
is uninspiring and Reggie Hayward is returning from an injury.
Crowder is a 270 lb end with a good deal of agility. |
49. Cincinnati Bengals
 |
Stewart Bradley, OLB, Nebraska |
| The Bengals
lost David Pollack to injury and his future is uncertain. They could
benefit greatly from bringing the tackling machine Bradley on board.
Bradley is a player who could go higher, as he is one of the best
strong side linebackers on the board. |
50. Tennessee Titans
 |
Josh Wilson, CB, Maryland |
| Josh
Wilson does not have prototypical NFL size, but he is solid in every
other area. After losing Pacman Jones, the Titans need a corner and
help in the return game, and Wilson could provide assistance in both
areas. |
51. New York Giants
 |
Jonathan Wade, CB, Tennessee |
| The
Giants need to add a linebacker, but there is not much value here
with Bradley off the board. They are aging at the corner positions
and Corey Webster has yet to show much. Wade is a fast and physical
player who could develop into a good corner. |
52. St. Louis Rams
 |
Arron Sears, OG, Tennessee |
| The
starting guards for the Rams have been in the league for a combined
25 years, and despite having one of the best running backs in the
league, they struggled to run the ball at times. Sears is a terrific
player and a good value here. |
53. Dallas Cowboys
 |
Steve
Smith, WR, USC |
| Both
starting receivers for the Cowboys will be 33 years old when the
season starts and the backups have yet to show they can be NFL
starters. Smith is a great value here, as he dispelled any concerns
about his athleticism at the combine. He has great hands and should
have a productive career. |
54. Kansas City Chiefs
 |
Craig Davis, WR, LSU |
| The
Chiefs have needed to add a WR for several seasons, and after
passing on WR in the first round for Joe Staley, they find Craig
Davis in Round Two. Davis may not have the ability to be an elite #1
receiver, but he can be a solid player for many years. |
55. Seattle Seahawks
 |
Zach Miller, TE, Arizona State |
| The Seahawks
have moved on from Jerramy Stevens and signed Marcus Pollard.
However, Pollard is not a top pass catching threat and is 35 years
old. Zach Miller was in the discussion to be the top tight end in
the draft, but he does not have outstanding long speed. He has great
hands and will make a good fit for the West Coast offense. |
56. Denver Broncos
 |
Lamar Woodley, DE, Michigan |
| Mike
Shanahan is not afraid to defy convention and Woodley, despite a
lack of ideal size, was extremely productive at Michigan. Woodley
excels at rushing the passer and could be a three down player for
the Broncos. |
57. Philadelphia Eagles
 |
Fred Bennett, CB, South Carolina |
| The
Eagles are a team that focuses on the secondary. They have good
starting corners, but lost nickelback Roderick hood in the
off-season. William James is likely to fill that role in 2007, but
Bennett could step in for the 2008 season and has the skills to be a
future starter. |
58. New Orleans Saints
 |
Jason Hill, WR, Washington State |
| The
Saints lost Joe Horn in the off-season and could use another WR. An
offensive minded coach in Sean Payton may not be satisfied with the
choices opposite of Marques Colston, and Hill is gifted receiver who
is overlooked by some. |
59. New York Jets
 |
Quentin Moses, DE/OLB, Georgia |
| The Jets
would like to add a 3-4 rush OLB, and Moses, despite a lackluster
senior season, is a potential start in the position. Moses may take
some time to develop, but the Jets will be intrigued by his
potential. |
60. Miami Dolphins
 |
Ryan
Harris, OT, Notre Dame |
| The
Dolphins need to add offensive line help, and Harris is solid
prospect. If he can stay in shape and play consistently, the
Dolphins could have a steal here. |
|
61. Baltimore Ravens
 |
James Marten, OT, Boston College |
| Jonathan
Ogden has hinted at retirement and the Ravens lost Tony Pashos in
free agency. Marten is a typical Boston College linemen who will
provide toughness and consistency. He would provide good insurance
for a deep Ravens team. |
62. San Diego Chargers
 |
Aaron Rouse, S, Virginia Tech |
| After
losing out on the top four safeties in Round One, the Chargers can
add the physical Rouse here. Rouse can competing for the starting
job immediately and is a physical specimen that the Chargers have
frequently targeted. |
63. New York Jets
 |
Ben Patrick, TE, Delaware |
| Chris
Baker has some potential, but he has yet to produce. The Jets would
like to add another target and Patrick would be a good choice. He is
a physical player who works hard in both the receiving and blocking
game, and in a shallow TE class, could go as in Round 2.

64. Detroit Lions (Via projected
trade)
 |
Daymeion Hughes, CB, Cal |
| The Lions
run a Cover 2 defense and Hughes is a terrific playmaker who would
excel in the Tampa 2 system. He may slide down the draft board
slightly due to a lack of ideal speed, but he plays faster than his
timed speed. |
