War Room Report Mock Draft
Updated: April 12, 2007
by Rob Tribbett, War Room Report Editor

65. Oakland Raiders
Oakland Raiders
Brandon Menbane, DT, Cal
Oakland has some talent at DT, but they are advancing in age. Menbane was productive at Cal and should stay in the area and help Oakland. He could go a bit earlier, but would be a great addition to the Raiders.
66. Detroit Lions
Detroit Lions
Justin Durant, LB, Hampton
Despite playing at a lower level, Durant is a player on the rise. He projects as an ideal Cover 2 MLB and the Lions desperately need a player to replace Paris Lenon in the middle. Durant has the speed and skills necessary to man the middle of the field in the Cover 2.
67. Cleveland Browns
Cleveland Browns
James Marteen, OT, Boston College
The Browns get a tough, physical OT prospect in the third round, an exceptional value. Like many of the BC offensive linemen, Marteen is a mauler. He could immediately start for a Browns team that needs help on the line.
68. Tampa Bay Bucs
Tampa Bay Bucs
Jonathan Wade, CB, Tennessee
An extremely gifted corner, Wade must become more consistent. Tampa's corners are advancing in age and Wade could step right in and contribute in the Tampa 2 system.
69. Arizona Cardinals
Earl Everett, OLB, Florida
Arizona needs to add someone to compete with Daryl Blackstock and Calvin Pace to be the starter. Everett had a productive career at Florida, but his measurables have fallen short of what was expected. Still, the need for an OLB and the weakness of this class may force Arizona to take him here.
70. Denver Broncos
Denver Broncos
John Wendling, S, Wyoming
The Broncos have been very active in the off season and with an abundance of draft picks, they should target a replacement for John Lynch. Wendling has created a stir with his tremendous workout numbers but he was also very productive at Wyoming. He needs to work on his technique, but Denver could afford to use him in dime coverage early before he replaces Lynch.
71. Miami Dolphins
Ryan Harris, OT, Notre Dame
The Dolphins missed out on Levi Brown in Round One, but find a similar prospect here. While not as talented as Brown, Harris has the athleticism to potentially be a staring left tackle in the NFL, but there are questions about his work ethic and consistency. There have been questions about his weight as of late, but the Dolphins need to add a player who can help on the offensive line.
72. Minnesota Vikings
Minnesota Vikings
Tim Shaw, OLB, Penn State
Chad Greenway is recovering from a torn ACL and there is no depth at the linebacker position. Depending on Greenway's health, the Vikings may go a different route. Tim Shaw has all of the abilities to translate into an outstanding outside linebacker in time.
73. Houston Texans
Houston Texans
Jason Hill, WR, Washington State
The Texans must add another WR target for Matt Schaub to be successful. With no second round pick, Houston is forced to select the best available WR here. They luck out in finding Jason Hill, one of the most productive WRs in Pac 10 history. Hill would immediate be the starter in Houston
74. Buffalo Bills
Buffalo Bills
Antonio Pittman, RB, Ohio State
The Bills need to add a running back and Pittman was productive at Ohio State. A good one cut type runner, Pittman would figure to be in the starting mix in Buffalo. The Bills have several important needs and are almost forced to draft for those needs.
75. Atlanta Falcons
Atlanta Falcons
Michael Bush, RB, Louisville
New Falcons coach Bobby Petrino wishes to install the power running game he used at Louisville, but he lacks the back to do it. Michael Bush would had been a first round pick if not for his leg injury. He has not been able to run as of yet, which is lowering his value. However, Atlanta may grab him here to secure his services. Once healthy, he is the ideal back for Petrino.
76. San Francisco 49ers
San Francisco 49ers
Buster Davis, MLB, Florida State
The 49ers need to add a MLB and the staff became enamored with Buster Davis at the Senior Bowl. The 3-4 system that Mike Nolan is installing in San Francisco will help hide Davis' lack of sideline to sideline speed. However he is a player surpasses his measurables and is likely to be an outstanding 3-4 ILB.
77. Pittsburgh Steelers
Pittsburgh Steelers
Tony Hunt, RB, Penn State
The Steelers need to add a power runner to compliment Willie Parker. Tony Hunt is a physical back who can take a pounding. Hunt or Michael Bush would probably be the most likely candidates for the Steelers to draft. He starred instate at Happy Valley and could provide a lift to the Steelers along the goal line.
78. Green Bay Packers
Green Bay Packers
Ben Patrick, TE, Delaware
The Packers struggled mightily in the red zone in 2006 and that can partially be attributed to the decline in Bubba Franks who had one of the lowest reception percentages in the league. The Packers require their TE to block to help the young offensive line, and Ben Patrick may be the most complete tight end in the draft. He excelled at Division 1-AA Delaware after transferring from Duke.

79. Jacksonville Jaguars
Jacksonville Jaguars
Trent Edwards, QB, Stanford
The Jaguars have one of the most talented teams in the league, but have shuffled quarterbacks out in recent years. Trent Edwards was not able to demonstrate his talent on the field at Stanford due to poor talent around him and injury concerns. Edwards could be brought in as a development prospect to potentially replace the Leftwich/Garrard duo.
Cincinnati Bengals
Cincinnati Bengals
No pick (Used in Supplemental Draft)
80. Tennessee Titans
Tennesse Titans
David Irons, CB, Auburn
With the suspension of Pacman Jones, the Titans must draft a corner early. Irons has the physical tools but must refine his technique and improve his consistency. With many teams needing CB depth, Tennessee must grab a CB early.
81. New York Giants
New York Giants
Ryan McBean, DT, Oklahoma State
The Giants have been building a young core along the front four and McBean would be a great addition. A player without much experience, he will only improve but his upside is tremendous.
82. St. Louis Rams
St. Louis Rams
Quinton Moses, DE, Georgia
The Rams need to find another pass rusher. Leonard Little is advancing in age. James Hall was brought in from Detroit, but Moses is a solid value here, despite a lackluster senior season.
83. Carolina Panthers
Carolina Panthers
Sabby Piscatelli, S, Oregon State
The Panthers need to add safety depth after Thomas Davis failed to work out at the safety position. Mike Minter is an outstanding player but he may not have many seasons left. The versatile Piscatelli is an athletic ball hawking safety who can contribute in many ways.
84. Kansas City Chiefs
Kansas City Chiefs
Marshal Yanda, OT/OG, Iowa
For a team that is based on the running game and once had one of the most domiant lines in the NFL, the Chiefs are struggling. Yanda can play guard or tackle and was coached in college by top offensive line guru Kirk Ferentz.
85. Seattle Seahawks
Joshua Beekman, OG, Boston College
The Seahawks were unable to effectively replace Steve Hutchinson. Floyd Womack is better served in a back up role and Chris Gray is 37 years old. Beekman is a tough and smart lineman like BC is known for and is a terrific value here.

86. Denver Broncos
Denver Broncos
Aundrae Allison, WR, East Carolina
The Broncos brought in Brandon Stokley and Brandon Marshall had a solid rookie season, but Rod Smith may be on his last legs and Stokley is probably only a stop gap solution. Allison is talented but he must demonstrate more consistency in his play.
87. Dallas Cowboys
Dallas Cowboys
Ikaika Alama-Francis, DE, Hawaii
Alama-Francis a terrific athlete who has received a lot of attention in the off-season. The Cowboys could bring him in, as he translates well to a 3-4 DE immediately and has a very high upside.
88. New Orleans Saints
New Orleans Saints
Scott Chandler, TE, Iowa
The Saints are building a top notch offense and signed Eric Johnson in the off-season. However they have an offensive head coach that would like to bring additional weapons on board. Chandler is 6'7 and a good receiver who can get playing time immediately.
89. New York Jets
New York Jets
Martrez Milner, TE, Georgia
The Jets like the potential of Chris Baker, but Milner is a very gifted athlete who has substantial upside. From one of the best TE producing schools in the country, Milner did not start until the 2006 season, but he showed potential.
90. Philadelphia Eagles
Philadelphia Eagles
H.B. Blades, MLB, Pittsburgh
Jeremiah Trotter has been the leader in the middle for the Eagles during their recent run, but there are questions to how much longer his body can hold up. H.B. Blades is a similar player. He dominated games in the Big East, and despite not having outstanding measurables, he is a productive football player who fits the type of player that the Eagles like to build around.
91. New England Patriots
New England Patriots
Aaron Rouse, S, Virginia Tech
Rodney Harrison may be playing his last season and the Patriots do not have a reliable internal option to replace him. Rouse projects well as a strong safety in the New England scheme. He is a physical specimen with a mean streak who is not afraid to hit. He must work on improving his coverage skills, but a year to serve as Harrison's understudy could prove very valuable.
92. Buffalo Bills
Buffalo Bills
Stewart Bradley, OLB, Nebraska
After trading Takeo Spikes, the Bills are left with a hole on the outside. Bradley was a tackling machine at Nebraska and could immediately start for the Bills.
93. San Diego Chargers
San Diego Chargers
Anthony Waters, MLB, Clemson
The Chargers lost both of their starting inside linebackers in the off-season. Waters tore his ACL at the beginning of the 2006 season but was extremely productive his junior year at Clemson. He is a good fit for the 3-4 system as he has the strength to fight through blocks and make plays. He can also rush the passer and should be fine in coverage as long as he gets to play mostly zone coverage.
94. Chicago Bears
Chicago Bears
Lorenzo Booker, RB, Florida State
The Bears traded Thomas Jones and are content to let Cedric Benson be the lead tailback. Booker brings a multitude of skills to the table that would be beneficial to use with Benson. Booker's pass catching abilities should allow him to see the field immediately and he could contribute as a change of pace runner.
95. Indianapolis Colts
Indianapolis Colts
Kenny Irons, RB, Auburn
The Colts lost Dominic Rhodes and standout Joseph Addai will be the man in Indy. However, Irons is a good value here and the Colts need a player to backup Addai. Irons was considered to be a higher pick prior to a poor senior season and a less than stellar off-season. He could go much higher, however.
96. San Diego Chargers (Comp)
San Diego Chargers
Michael Coe, CB, Alabama State
The Chargers added Antonio Cromartie in the 2006 draft but still could add some depth at the position. Coe is starting to get more recognition after playing his senior season at Alabama State. Coe showed well in the postseason all-star games and has good coverage skills. He looks for the ball and can make plays. He knows how to use his size to cover which fits in well with the Chargers system.
97. San Francisco 49ers (Comp)
San Francisco 49ers
Antwan Barnes, OLB, Florida International
Tully Banta-Cain was added in the off-season but his upside is limited. Manny Lawson starts at one OLB spot, but despite the hype, he had a mediocre rookie campaign. Barnes open some eyes at the scouting combine after moving to OLB from DE and is the type of pass rusher that the 49ers could desperately use to kick start the 3-4
98. Indianapolis Colts (Comp)
Indianapolis Colts
Johnnie Lee Higgins, WR, UTEP
The Colts lost Brandon Stokley, who was injured much of the season anyway. Higgins could immediately step in an become a playmaker in the slot role, allowing Dallas Clark to play more tight end. Higgins could also eventually replace Marvin Harrison.
99. Oakland Raiders (Comp)
Oakland Raiders
Paul Williams, WR, Fresno State
The Raiders have talent at WR, but the production has not matched that. Jerry Porter and Randy Moss both could be gone. Williams is a talented WR in his own right and could see the field as a rookie.
