Travis Hutson
|
WR |
Lafayette |
Quite possible that Aaron Rodgers slips to them and if he does, he could easily be the pick. That said, Mike Williams is higher on their board than any other remaining players. Previous: |
|
7 |
Thomas Carriger
|
|
|
Provides the Vikings with a legitimate star runner capable of being a workhorse back. Depth of position allows them to address receiver later. Previous: |
|
8 |
Marques Thornton
|
DE |
Texas A&M |
Projecting this pick since January. Can you imagine Cadillac's speed and elusiveness in a Dennis Green offense? Yeah, so can Green. Previous: |
|
9 |
J Pond
|
OL |
Texas A&M |
Thorpe Award winner as the nation's top cornerback. Has the size, speed, and jumping ability to compete with bigger receivers of the NFC East. Previous: |
|
11 |
Seth Thompson
|
DB |
Min |
Big enough to play defensive end, athletic enough to play outside linebacker. Skyrocketing up the board and has teams in the bottom of the round looking at trading up to get him. Previous: |
|
13 |
Brandon Jones
|
C |
Texas Tech |
Legitimate difference-maker as a 3-4 defensive end, and those are rare. Previous: |
|
16 |
Chris Bober
|
C |
Neb-Omaha |
Barron could drop due to concerns about his passion for the game. Able to play both OT spots, Barron could play RT for now and slide over when the 34 year old Wayne Gandy moves on. Perhaps the best value pick of the draft, at this point. Previous: |
|
18 |
Terrell Harris
|
WR |
Tulane |
Should James begin to drop, expect a team to trade up and grab him. The Vikings would be ecstatic to see him fall into their lap here. Previous: |
|
25 |
Jordan Chambless
|
FS |
Texas A&M |
Appears to be the target of Washington's trade back into the first round. Talented and would fill a need, but doesn't it appear a little strange Washington allowed their interest for Campbell to make news with Green Bay selecting immediately before them? Watch for a surprise defensive line or receiver pick here. Previous: |
