Fbkid's 2010 Two Round NFL Mock Draft

The draft is less than 24 hours away and many things have changed since my last mock draft. This will also include the second round which should be very interesting this year as team’s now can think about potential trades overnight. Regardless of what happens, it is going to be a very exciting weekend for football fans everywhere.

1. St. Louis Rams: Sam Bradford QB Oklahoma: The Rams are in a situation similar to what the Lions were in last year. While Aaron Curry was considered to be the best player, the team went with quarterback Matthew Stafford with the first pick instead. While Ndamukong Suh and Gerald McCoy are considered the best players in the draft, it is hard to pay a defensive tackle that much money when you are in need of a quarterback at this time in the NFL. At this time, it looks like Bradford will be the pick.

2. Detroit Lions: Ndamukong Suh DT Nebraska: After adding Kyle Vanden Bosch and Corey Williams, many feel that Russell Okung should be the pick here. However Jim Schwartz knows how important defensive tackles are and can’t afford to pass up a prospect like Suh that comes along once a decade.

3. Tampa Bay Buccaneers: Gerald McCoy DT Oklahoma: The Bucs will be ecstatic if one of the top tackles falls to them and regardless of it is Suh or McCoy they will be the pick.

4. Washington Redskins: Russell Okung T Oklahoma State: After a shocking trade that landed Donovan McNabb, it doesn’t appear that Jimmy Clausen would be an option anymore. With the retirement of Chris Samuels, the Redskins are in need of a left tackle and will have a tough decision. Trent Williams is a possibility as some feel he better in Mike Shanahan’s zone blocking scheme. He does have a few questions that remain to be answered so Okung would be the safe pick here.

5. Kansas City Chiefs: Bryan Bulaga T Iowa: Even though Jamaal Charles managed to run for more than 1000 yards last year, the Chiefs offensive line struggled allowing over 40 sacks. Bulaga is a solid player who could come in right away and start opposite 2008 first rounder Branden Albert. The Chiefs could also go with Eric Berry here and possibly Russell Okung if the Redskins select Trent Williams.

6. Seattle Seahawks: Trent Williams T Oklahoma: The Seahawks have really struggled on the offensive line the past few years and are in search of Walter Jones’ replacement. Williams has shot up draft boards the past few weeks with his size and athleticism and would fit the mold the Seahawks are looking for.

7. Cleveland Browns: Eric Berry S Tennessee: After acquiring Sheldon Brown in a trade, the Browns are no longer in the market for a cornerback in the first round. Berry is the best player on the board at this point and in a division where Troy Polamalu and Ed Reed have made such an impact, it’s hard to pass him up.

8. Oakland Raiders: Bruce Campbell T Maryland: Many people have Jason Pierre-Paul going here but as impressive as his 13 straight back flips on youtube are to Al Davis, he won’t be the pick. While Davis loves physical specimen, he usually goes after them by need and after franchising Richard Seymour they aren’t in the need for a pass rusher. However, the team does need a tackle which is where Campbell with his 6’6 314 pound frame to go with his 36 ¼ inch arms and 4.85 forty time fit in to the team’s plans. Trent Williams is also a possibility if he falls here along with Anthony Davis who has the talent but has his fair share of concerns.

9. Buffalo Bills: CJ Spiller RB Clemson: Every year it seems like there is a surprise pick in the top ten. The Bills have much bigger needs on the offensive line and at quarterback where Jimmy Clausen is still on the board. While Fred Jackson played very well last year, the team is willing to trade Marshawn Lynch. Chan Gailey has also said that he wants to draft a “water bug” that has big play potential. Nobody in this draft has more big play potential than Spiller who has seen his stock rise in the past few weeks. Along with Clausen, Anthony Davis and Dan Williams are also possibilities with this pick.

10. Jacksonville Jaguars: Joe Haden CB Florida: This could possibly be the hardest pick to predict in the 1st round. The Jaguars would love to trade down and acquire more draft picks which could be possible if a team covets Jimmy Clausen. If they use the pick, the Jaguars will draft the best available player which could very well be Haden, the top cornerback in this year’s draft. Rashean Mathis is also getting older and you can never have enough corners when you play Peyton Manning and Andre Johnson a combined four times a year.

11. Denver Broncos: Rolando McClain LB Alabama: After the Brandon Marshall trade, Dez Bryant could be a target here but the way the Marshall saga ended he could scare them off The Broncos have a big need at inside linebacker and McClain could come right in and fill it. Dan Williams and Earl Thomas could also be possibilities here.

12. Miami Dolphins: Dan Williams DT Tennessee: After trading for Brandon Marshall, Dez Bryant is no longer a possibility. The Dolphins are very weak up front and Williams is the best nose tackle in the draft that could come in and make an early impact. With the departure of both Joey Porter and Jason Taylor, Jason Pierre-Paul could be a possibility here as he is athletic enough to play outside linebacker.

13. San Francisco 49ers: Jimmy Clausen QB Notre Dame: With two first round picks the 49ers can afford to take the risk on Clausen as it is no sure thing that Alex Smith is the answer.

14. Seattle Seahawks: Derrick Morgan DE Georgia Tech: With the retirement of Patrick Kearney, the Seahawks suddenly have a need for a pass rusher. While Jason Pierre-Paul is awfully tempting, Morgan is more of a sure thing and could come in and contribute right away. Taylor Mays is also a possibility here as he addresses a need and was coached by Pete Carroll at USC.

15. New York Giants: Mike Iupati G Idaho: The Giants would love for Rolando McClain to fall here but Iupati isn’t a bad consolation price. He is a versatile player and the Giants offensive line is getting older and could use some depth. Jason Pierre-Paul and Sean Weatherspoon are also possibilities here.

16. Tennessee Titans: Jason Pierre-Paul DE USF: The Titans dream scenario has come true. Not only is the player who is arguably the best player at his position still on the board, but he has the athleticism that will remind some of a young Jevon Kearse. If Pierre-Paul is off the board, two players who could be considered here are Brandon Graham and Kyle Wilson.

17.San Francisco 49ers: Kyle Wilson CB Boise State: Wilson has been receiving a lot of hype lately and he could go even higher than this. The 49ers aren’t very deep at corner and when you have to face Larry Fitzgerald twice a year, it never hurts to have physical corners. Anthony Davis is also a possibility as the offensive line could use some help as well.

18. Pittsburgh Steelers: Maurkice Pouncey C Florida: The Steelers offensive line has been a weak spot but Pouncey could help fix that. This is a little high for a center, but Pouncey is the real deal and could go even higher than this. A corner such as Kyle Wilson if he is available isn’t out of the question either.

19. Atlanta Falcons: Brandon Graham DE Michigan: After three years, it appears safe to say that the Jamaal Anderson era hasn’t gone very well. Graham is a versatile player who will come in right away and be able to contribute to an improving defense. Sean Weatherspoon is also a possibility here.

20. Houston Texans: Earl Thomas S Texas: In a division where you play Peyton Manning twice a year, it is important to be strong in the secondary. The Texans could use a corner with the loss of Dunta Robinson and depth at safety where Bernard Pollard who was picked up off the street mid season was the bright spot. Thomas is always around the ball and could play at both positions.

21. Cincinnati Bengals: Taylor Mays S USC: The Bengals have addressed the wide receiver position with Antonio Bryant and can now move to the defensive side of the ball. Mays lost a lot of money coming back for his senior season as scouts were able to dissect his game tape and find more flaws. Regardless, he is a physical specimen who fits well in Mike Zimmer’s system and very well could be the next defensive player from USC making an impact on the Bengals. Jermaine Gresham is the other option that could be considered here.

22. New England Patriots: Jared Odrick DE Penn State: After trading Richard Seymour to the Raiders for a first round pick, the Patriots need somebody who can play defensive end in the 3-4. Odrick could come right in contribute in a rotation. Dez Bryant is also a serious possibility here along with Sergio Kindle, Jermaine Gresham or Brandon Graham if he is still on the board.

23. Green Bay Packers: Anthony Davis T Rutgers: The Packers had a hard time protecting Aaron Rodgers and the tackle position needs to be addressed considering they play Jared Allen and Julius Peppers two times a year. Davis is a top ten talent but due to concerns about his work ethic and weight could fall here. The Packers could also address the cornerback position as Al Harris and the reigning defensive player of the year Charles Woodson are both in their 30’s.

24. Philadelphia Eagles: Kareem Jackson CB Alabama: The Eagles would love to trade up to get one of the top two safeties but even if they stay put; the secondary is a position that needs to be addressed. Jackson is a very experienced corner who could compete for a starting spot right away. Taylor Mays is a possibility if he isn’t off the board.

25. Baltimore Ravens: Jermaine Gresham TE Oklahoma: The Ravens addressed the wide receiver position this offseason and can now go after the best player on their board. Todd Heap is getting older and Gresham who would have been a top 15 pick in last year’s draft could be his heir apparent. When Heap first entered the league he played behind Shannon Sharpe which could be a similar situation if Gresham is the pick. If they are high one of them, the Ravens could also go cornerback in this position as well. Devin McCourty and Jared Odrick are possibilities but it would be very difficult to pass up Dez Bryant if he falls here. DT Linval Joseph is also a major dark horse here.

26. Arizona Cardinals: Sean Weatherspoon LB Missouri: The Cardinals had a lot of key loses this offseason so they could go many ways with this pick. With Dominique Rodgers-Cromartie recovering from a torn ACL and Bryant McFadden disappointing after being brought in as a free agent cornerback has become an issue. The team also has to replace Carlos Dansby who left this offseason and Weatherspoon is the best player on the board.

27. Dallas Cowboys: Dez Bryant WR Oklahoma State: Just thinking about this situation has to strike fear in defensive coordinators around the league. Roy Williams has been a major disappointment since joining the Cowboys and this upcoming year could be his last with the team. Bryant is the most talented receiver in this year’s draft and while questions are brought up about his character at this point in the draft he is a steal. If Bryant isn’t on the board, Charles Brown is a real possibility here.

28. San Diego Chargers: Ryan Mathews RB Fresno State: While many of thought the Chargers should have addressed the running back position last year, they now don’t have a choice. Darren Sproles hasn’t shown the ability that he can be an every down back and Mathews is the number two back on many draft boards. Another player to watch for here is East Carolina defensive tackle Linval Joseph.

29. New York Jets: Sergio Kindle LB Texas: If Kindle is still available; the Jets won’t be able to resist his versatility and upside as a pass rusher. Devin McCourty is a possibility along with Everson Griffen.

30. Minnesota Vikings: Tim Tebow QB Florida: With Antoine Winfield getting older and Cedric Griffin recovering from an ACL tear, cornerback is a position of need for the Vikings. The team just signed Lito Sheppard which opens the door for another Gator. This would be an excellent fit for Tebow as he won’t be rushed to start right away and can continue to work on his mechanics. If this pick comes true and Brett Favre returns it’s safe to say we will soon be hearing plugs for “ESPN Minneapolis”.

31. Indianapolis Colts: Rodger Saffold T Indiana: The Colts offensive line is aging and they are in a position to add more depth. Saffold has been shooting up draft boards due to his athleticism and versatility.

32. New Orleans Saints: Jerry Hughes DE/LB TCU: The Saints could use some depth at linebacker and Hughes has the ability to come in and be effective even if it is just as a pass rusher on 3rd downs.

2nd round

33. St. Louis Rams: Demaryius Thomas WR Georgia Tech: The Rams draft a receiver to let Sam Bradford develop with.

34. Detroit Lions: Devin McCourty CB Rutgers: The Lions secondary needs help and McCourty is a first round value who could contribute at corner.

35. Tampa Bay Buccaneers: Everson Griffen DE USC: The Buccaneers continue to upgrade their defensive line by drafting a pass rusher with lots of upside.

36. Kansas City Chiefs: Golden Tate WR Notre Dame: The Chiefs find their number two receiver and reunite Tate with his old college coach Charlie Weis.

37. Philadelphia Eagles: Nate Allen S USF: The Eagles land a safety that could come in and fight for a starting spot as a rookie.

38. Cleveland Browns: Colt McCoy QB Texas: The Browns get a quarterback they want without paying big money.

39. Oakland Raiders: Carlos Dunlap DE Florida: The Raiders get a player with great physical attributes but hasn't yet reached his full potential.

40. San Diego Chargers: Terrence Cody DT Alabama: The Chargers get a replacement for Jamal Williams that could possibly go in the first round.

41. Buffalo Bills: Charles Brown T USC: The Bills get a good value in a tackle that could go in the first round.

42. Tampa Bay Buccaneers: Arrelious Benn WR Illiniois: The Buccaneers take a receiver that could develop into Josh Freeman’s go to guy.

43. Denver Broncos: Major Wright S Florida: The Broncos get younger in the secondary and Wright is a player who is starting to move up the draft board.

44. New England Patriots: Daryl Washington LB TCU: The Patriots get a very athletic linebacker that could make an immediate impact on an aging defense.

45. Denver Broncos: Lamarr Houston DT Texas: The Broncos get younger on the defensive line with a very good value in the middle of the 2nd round.

46. New York Giants: Jahvid Best RB California: The Giants add Best to form another three headed monster in the backfield.

47. New England Patriots: Patrick Robinson CB Florida State: The Patriots get another young cornerback and Robinson has star potential.

48. Carolina Panthers: Mardy Gilyard WR Cincinnati: The Panthers finally grant Steve Smith his wish and draft a deep threat to play opposite him.

49. San Francisco 49ers: Vladimir Ducasse T Massachusetts: The 49ers take a project in Ducasse that could end up paying long term dividends.

50. Kansas City Chiefs: Sean Lee LB Penn State: The Chiefs get a good value on Lee who could step right in and help contain the run.

51. Houston Texans: Ben Tate RB Auburn: The Texans address the running back position with Tate who has been rising up draft boards.

52. Pittsburgh Steelers: Damian Williams WR USC: The Steelers take a receiver to help pick up some of the departed Santonio Holmes’ production.

53. New England Patriots: Koi Misi DE Utah: The Patriots take another defensive lineman in Misi that has versatility and brings a high motor.

54. Cincinnati Bengals: Aaron Hernandez TE Florida: The Bengals get the pass catching tight end they have been looking for.

55. Philadelphia Eagles: Corey Wootoon DE Northwestern: The Eagles get a defensive end in Wootton who was considered a first round pick before injury slowed him down.

56. Green Bay Packers: Dexter McCluster RB Mississippi: The Packers show it’s a copycat league by taking their own version of Percy Harvin.

57. Baltimore Ravens: Linval Joseph DT East Carolina: The Ravens get a phenomenal value here drafting Joseph who they could be considering in the 1st round.

58. Arizona Cardinals: Perrish Cox CB Oklahoma State: The Cardinals get a cornerback in Cox who will add depth and is explosive when he gets the ball in his hands.

59. Dallas Cowboys: Brandon Ghee CB Wake Forest: The Cowboys take a player in Ghee who was a three year starter and could contribute right away in nickel or dime packages.

60. Seattle Seahawks: Montario Hardesty RB Tennessee: The Seahawks needed to acquire a running back in this draft and Hardesty has starting potential.

61. New York Jets: Amari Spievey CB Iowa: The Jets get a corner in Spievey who could make his way into the starting lineup sooner rather than later.

62. Minnesota Vikings: Brian Price DT UCLA: The Vikings get an excellent value in Price here as he is a first round talent who would end up being the replacement for Pat Williams.

63. Indianapolis Colts: Jordan Shipley WR Texas: The Colts get another receiver in Shipley who can come in right away and contribute in the receiving game and special teams.

64. New Orleans Saints: Chad Jones S LSU: The Saints take an exceptional athlete in Jones who could end up filling in for the loss of Darren Sharper.

Fbkid's 2009 Two Round NFL Mock Draft

The draft is less than 48 hours away and many things can still happen. Tony Gonzalez was traded to the Falcons today and that should be the first of many trades to come in the next day or so. This is my last mock for the year so I included my second round picks for the first time. I hope everyone enjoys the draft this weekend as it should be a lot of fun.

1. Detroit Lions: Matthew Stafford QB Georgia: Right now Stafford looks like he will be the guy. Look for the Lions to try and get a deal with him in the next 24 hours.

2. St. Louis Rams: Jason Smith T Baylor: The Rams really need help on the offensive line and it will come down to either Eugene Monroe or Smith. Smith has more upside so he gets the nod here.

3. Kansas City Chiefs: Eugene Monroe T Virginia: People have had Aaron Curry slotted here for months but it makes more sense to invest over $30 million in a left tackle then a linebacker. Don't be surprised if the Chiefs try to trade down or surprise everyone and take Tyson Jackson who they love.

4. Seattle Seahawks: Mark Sanchez QB USC: The Seahawks would love to take one of the top offensive tackles here but if they are both gone, Sanchez is a great fit. Matt Hasselbeck will turn 34 this year and Sanchez will be able to learn the offense his first year or two. Don't completely rule out the Seahawks trading this pick either as it could be a hot commodity with Sanchez still on the board.

5. Cleveland Browns: Aaron Curry LB Wake Forest: The Browns would be ecstatic if Curry fell to them. He and D'Qwell Jackson could be a very good linebacker tandem for years to come. If Curry is off the board, don't be surprised if they take Michael Crabtree as they are still looking to shop Braylon Edwards or Tyson Jackson who would be a great fit to their 3-4 scheme.

6. Cincinnati Bengals: Andre Smith T Alabama: Even though Smith has done everything a player is told not to do in the draft process, he is still a top 10 talent. Don't completely rule out BJ Raji either as the Bengals were really interested in taking Sedrick Ellis last year. But when it's all said and done Smith actually has less character concerns than Raji does.

7. Oakland Raiders: Jeremy Maclin WR Missouri: This Raiders are in need of a big play receiver and Maclin has the speed that Al Davis craves.

8. Jacksonville Jaguars: Michael Crabtree WR Texas Tech: The Jaguars would love to trade down but unless Sanchez is still on the board, that is very unlikely. Ever since Jimmy Smith retired the Jaguars have been looking for a number one receiver and Crabtree is their guy. He's arguably the best player in the entire draft and if it wasn't for his ankle injury could have been a top four pick. Don't be surprised if the Jaguars are interested in Raji as well but since they are looking at character he may not fit the mold.

9. Green Bay Packers: BJ Raji DT Boston College: With the Packers switching to a 3-4 defense, Raji would be the nose tackle they are looking for to stop the run. Other players to consider here are Brian Orakpo, Tyson Jackson and the dark horse Michael Oher as their offensive line is getting older.

10. San Francisco 49ers: Brian Orakpo DE Texas: The 49ers would love for either Sanchez or Crabtree to fall here but that is looking less likely every day. Orakpo could develop into the player that the 49ers thought Manny Lawson would be which is providing a consistent pass rush from the outside linebacker position. Don't be surprised if Aaron Maybin is considered here as some think he may have more upside and Orakpo is viewed by some as a workout warrior.

11. Buffalo Bills: Michael Oher T Mississippi: Now that they have traded Jason Peters, the Bills really need help on the offensive line and Oher is the best tackle available. Don't be surprised if the Bills try and trade up as they now have two first round picks but some other players they could take here include Aaron Maybin, Robert Ayers and Brandon Pettigrew.

12. Denver Broncos: Tyson Jackson DE LSU: Last year the Broncos had one of the most explosive offenses in the league but the defense prevented them from making the playoffs. Now that they are switching to a 3-4 scheme, Jackson is the perfect fit as he is the best 3-4 end in the class. The Broncos could also consider trading up to get Mark Sanchez and BJ Raji is an option if he is still available.

13. Washington Redskins: Aaron Maybin DE Penn State: The Redskins upgraded their defensive line this offseason when they signed Albert Haynesworth but after releasing Jason Taylor, they still need a pass rusher. That's where Maybin comes into the picture. Maybin may have more upside than any other pass rusher in the class and could develop into an all pro. The Redskins have also shown interest in pretty much any quarterback other than Jason Campbell so don't be surprised if they try trading up for Sanchez or shock everybody by taking Josh Freeman.

14. New Orleans Saints: Malcolm Jenkins CB Ohio State: Chris Wells going here is starting to become a trendy pick but that isn't necessarily a need. People tend to forget that Pierre Thomas actually had a very good season last year and while he isn't a bruiser like Deuce McAllister, he is very effective. The Saints can score with anyone in the league but their secondary has always been a problem. Jenkins gives them versatility as he can play both corner and safety and considering the Saints need help at both, he's a perfect fit.

15. Houston Texans: Brian Cushing LB USC: Other than DeMeco Ryans, the Texans aren't that strong at linebacker. To make matters worse, Ryans wants a new contract and he hasn't received one from the Texans yet. Cushing could come in right away and be a very effective starter and if Ryans stays, they could have the start of a very good linebacker corps. Some other players that the Texans could consider are Cushing's college teammate Clay Matthews as his uncle, Bruce who is a Hall of Fame tackle is on the team's coaching staff and Peria Jerry as neither Amobi Okoye or Travis Johnson have lived up to expectations so far.

16. San Diego Chargers: Robert Ayers DE Tennessee: The Chargers would love for either Tyson Jackson or Malcolm Jenkins to be here but Ayers would be a very good fit as the Chargers don't get much pass rush from the end positions. Ayers has been flying up draft boards ever since his great performance at the Senior Bowl and if he continues to play like that in the NFL, he should be a force for years to come.

17. New York Jets: Josh Freeman QB Kansas State: Due to his physical attributes, Freeman has really been skyrocketing up draft boards in the past few months. Right now the Jets quarterbacks are Kellen Clemens and Brett Ratliff. While Clemens and Ratliff have both showed flashes of potential, neither of them is the answer. The Jets may also try and trade up for Mark Sanchez or take a big play receiver such as Darrius Heyward-Bey.

18. Denver Broncos: Vontae Davis CB Illinois: A couple of years ago, the Broncos had arguably the best starting corners in the league as they had Champ Bailey and Dre' Bly. While it isn't their fault that the front seven couldn't get pressure on the quarterback, Bailey and Bly weren't very productive last year and are both in their 30's. Davis could come in right away and contribute as a nickel corner while being groomed to be the number one corner in a couple of years.

19. Tampa Bay Buccaneers: Michael Johnson DE Georgia Tech: Every year there are a couple of surprises in the first round. This would be one of them. The Bucs are said to be in love with him and for good reason. On paper, Johnson is a top ten pick at 6'6 266 pounds and 4.6 speed. The biggest question surronding him is about his motor and how he has the tendencies to take plays off. If he gets everything in order, Johnson and Gaines Adams could be a very dangerous tandem for yers to come. The Bucs could also consider Peria Jerry after losing Javon Haye this offseason as well as Freeman if available but the recent signing of Byron Leftwich could prevent that from happening.

20. Detroit Lions: Peria Jerry DT Mississippi: It was obvious from the first week of the season when the Lions allowed over 200 yards to Michael Turner that run defense was an issue. After Cory Redding was traded it is even more important for the Lions to take a defensive tackle and Jerry is a very good value here.

21. Philadelphia Eagles: Knowshon Moreno RB Georgia: Considering last year's draft it's hard to believe that it would take this long for a running back to be picked. Brian Westbrook is getting older and is still very injury prone so it is important for the Eagles to get a durable backup. Some view Moreno as one of the ten best players in the draft so he would be an excellent value here. Chris Wells is also a possibility here but like Westbrook, he has trouble staying healthy.

22. Minnesota Vikings: Eben Britton T Arizona: As good as Adrian Peterson is, he could be even better if the Vikings improved the right side of their line. Britton could come in right away and start at right tackle which is the position he could be better suited for in the pros.

23. New England Patriots: Clay Matthews LB USC: Matthews is the perfect Patriots player. A hard- nosed player who worked his way up as a walk on at USC, Matthews could have more upside than any of his fellow USC linebackers. The Patriots have six picks in the top 100 so if they have really set their eyes on someone, they have the potential to trade up.

24. Atlanta Falcons: Louis Delmas S Western Michigan: This is another surprise as many people have Delmas as a 2nd round pick even though he's the best safety in the draft. The Falcons have a very big need at safety and to compete against teams in their division such as the Saints, it is important to get an upgrade at the position. After the trade to aquire Tony Gonzalez, another player to consider is Evander Hood as the Falcons almost drafted Glenn Dorsey over Matt Ryan last year and they still need to address the need.

25. Miami Dolphins: Everette Brown DE Florida State: When the whole draft process started, Brown was considered a top ten pick. Considering the Dolphins are in need of a pass rusher, Brown is too good a value for Bill Parcells to pass up at 25. The Dolphins could also go after a corner such as Vontae Davis if he fell here or a big receiver such as Darrius Heyward-Bey or Hakeem Nicks.

26. Baltimore Ravens: Rey Maulauga LB USC: Not many people at the beginning of last season would have thought Maulauga falls past the top ten let alone the top 20. Maulauga though is a perfect player for the Ravens defense. He plays with a swagger and would bring youth to the linebacker position. Most people think the Ravens will go with the local player Darrius Heyward-Bey but at 26, Maulauga is too good a value for Ozzie Newsome to pass up.

27. Indianapolis Colts: Evander Hood DT Missouri: Hood is a perfect fit for the Colts defensive scheme and would immediately bring energy to a unit that had only two sacks last year. If Hood isn't available, the Colts could go after a receiver to replace Marvin Harrison.

28. Buffalo Bills: Brandon Pettigrew TE Oklahoma State: The Bills are really considering taking Pettigrew at 11 so if he was here at 28 they would be doing cartwheels in the war room. Pettigrew is the most complete tight end in the class and would add another weapon for Trent Edwards to throw to.

29. New York Giants: Darrius Heyward-Bey WR Maryland: After the highly documented release of Plaxico Burress, the Giants are looking for a playmaking receiver. That defines Heyward-Bey who ran the fastest time in the 40 yard dash at the combine at 4.30. The Giants might also consider trading their pick for an established receiver such as Braylon Edwards or Anquan Boldin.

30. Tennessee Titans: Darius Butler CB Connecticut: When you are in a division that has the Colts and a receiver like Andre Johnson, it's important to have good corners. Butler is climbing up team's draft boards and would give the Titans another quality corner to start opposite Cortland Finnegan. Butler has added value as well as he can replace Chris Carr in the return game.

31. Arizona Cardinals: Chris Wells RB Ohio State: Even though they currently have Edgerrin James and Tim Hightower, running back is a position the Cardinals need to address. James has made it clear he doesn't want to return to the team while Hightower is more of a complementary back. Wells would be a great value here and at this point in the draft is too good to pass up.

32. Pittsburgh Steelers: Alphonso Smith CB Wake Forest: For a team that has such a good defense, it's hard to believe that the Steelers corners are as bad as they are. Smith could come in right away and compete for a starting job. He is a very experienced corner who has very good instincts for the ball. If he was two inches taller, the 5'9 Smith would be a top 15 pick.

2nd round:

33. Detroit Lions: William Beatty T Connecticut: The Lions still need to address the left tackle position and after Beatty, the better talent at the position really starts to dry up.

34. New England Patriots: Sean Smith CB Utah: Smith is still a very raw corner as he is a converted wideout. He does have excellent range and could also help out right away at safety.

35. St. Louis Rams: Brian Robiskie WR Ohio State: Robiskie would be an excellent possession receiver to compliment Donnie Avery's big play ability.

36. Cleveland Browns: Larry English DE Northern Illinois: The Browns still need to find somebody who can rush the passer and English is an excellent value here.

37. Seattle Seahawks: Donald Brown RB Connecticut: Brown here would give the Seahawks great value as he will come in and contribute right away. Don't be surprised if he ends up putting up numbers similar to Matt Forte last year.

38. Cincinnati Bengals: Alex Mack C California: The Bengals continue to build their offensive line as they pick the best center in this year's class.

39. Jacksonville Jaguars: Phil Loadholt T Oklahoma: After signing Tra Thomas this offseason, the Jaguars don't need a left tackle to come in and play right away. Loadholt would be a great developmental pick and would start in the next year or so.

40. Oakland Raiders: Jamon Merideth T South Carolina: The Raiders really need help on the offensive line and Merideth is clearly the best tackle left on the board.

41. Green Bay Packers: Paul Kruger DE Utah: Kruger isn't very flashy, but he gets the job done and could come in right away and be effective as a situational pass rusher.

42. Buffalo Bills: Lawrence Sidbury DE Richmond: Sidbury is flying up the draft boards as he had very good workouts and also has the ability to be used as an outside rush linebacker. He is a bit of a developmental project coming from a small school, but he can pay big dividends.

43. San Francisco 49ers: Kenny Britt WR Rutgers: The 49ers are in need of a big play receiver and Britt who many view as a first round caliber receiver, is a great value at 43.

44. Miami Dolphins: Hakeem Nicks WR North Carolina: There is rumor that the Dolphins are interested in Nicks at 25 so if he fell here it would be an excellent value. Nicks is a physical receiver that the Dolphins really need to compliment Ted Ginn.

45. New York Giants: Clint Sintim LB Virginia: Sintim at 45 would be an excellent value as he is arguably the best pass rushing linebacker in the draft.

46. Houston Texans: William Moore S Missouri: At the beginning of the season, Moore was considered a first round pick. Even though he had a rough senior year, he would give the Texans a playmaker at safety that they have never had.

47. New England Patriots: Connor Barwin DE/LB Cincinnati: Barwin is a great pick for the Patriots as he is a converted tight end who is still very raw. Given time, he could turn into an elite pass rusher.

48. Denver Broncos: James Lauranitis LB Ohio State: Lauranitis is one of the safest picks in the entire draft and for a team with a bunch of holes on defense, would be a great value at 48.

49. Chicago Bears: Percy Harvin WR Florida: Due to the failed drug test and other character concerns, Harvin falls here. He may not be kind of receiver the Bears are looking for but him and Devin Hester on the same field would give defensive coordinators nightmares.

50. Cleveland Browns: DJ Moore CB Vanderbilt: Moore could come in right away and contribute as a nickelback and eventually overtake Brandon McDonald and start across from Eric Wright.

51. Dallas Cowboys: Jarron Gilbert DT San Jose State: Defensive tackle is a big need for the Cowboys and they will fall in love with Gilbert's freakish athleticism.

52. New York Jets: Derrick Williams WR Penn State: The Jets may have missed out on the bigger name receivers, but they still get a playmaker in Williams who will also help in the return game.

53. Philadelphia Eagles: Jared Cook TE South Carolina: Even though Brent Celek has shown glimpses of potential, Cook is an excellent receiver who would give Donavan McNabb another target. If he improves his blocking, he could become something special.

54. Minnesota Vikings: Juaquin Iglesias WR Oklahoma: Even though they drafted Sidney Rice and Aundrae Allison a few years ago, the Vikings are still looking for help at the receiver position. Iglesias could come in right away and compete for the number two spot.

55. Atlanta Falcons: Ron Brace DT Boston College: The Falcons will consider drafting a defensive tackle in the first round and would get great value if they took BJ Raji's sidekick here.

56. Miami Dolphins: Rashad Johnson S Alabama: Even though safety isn't really a need, Johnson is too good a talent for the Dolphins to pass up.

57. Baltimore Ravens: Mike Wallace WR Mississippi: The Ravens are in need of a big play receiver and Wallace fits the mold. He has 4.3 speed and could contribute right away in the return game.

58. New England Patriots: Pat White QB West Virginia: When you are as deep as the Patriots, you can afford to take risks like this. White is a proven winner and even though he will never play quarterback on the Patriots, defenses will always have to game plan for him the few plays he is in the game.

59. Carolina Panthers: Sen'Derrick Marks DT Auburn: The Panthers defensive line is getting older and developing Marks to play inside is a step in the right direction.

60. New York Giants: Duke Robinson G Oklahoma: Even though the Giants have arguably the best offensive line in the league, they still need to groom some young players. Robinson has lots of potential and when the team decides to go younger could come in and start.

61. Indianapolis Colts: LeSean McCoy RB Pittsburgh: McCoy would be an excellent value for the Colts as he is a very good receiver out of the backfield and would give the Colts a very good 1-2 punch at running back with Joseph Addai.

62. Tennessee Titans: Fili Moala DT USC: The Titans still need to replace Albert Haynesworth and Moala is the best defensive tackle on the board. If Moala plays anything like his cousin Haloti Ngata, the Titans will be getting a steal.

63. Arizona Cardinals: Andy Levitre G Oregon State: The Cardinals really need help on their offensive line and Levitre is good enough to come in and compete for a starting job.

64. Pittsburgh Steelers: Eric Wood C Louisville: The Steelers offensive line was considered the team's "Weak link" last year and Wood can come in and be their center for the next decade.
