|
33 |
Justin Blalock
|
OG |
Texas |
 Regardless of which quarterback the Raiders select, they need help up front.
Previous: |
|
34 |
John Beck
|
QB |
BYU |
 Offensive coordinator Mike Martz loves Beck's accuracy and intelligence, and the Lions think he'll be off the board before the third round.
Previous: |
|
35 |
*Dwayne Jarrett
|
WR |
USC |
 If the Bucs aren't able to move up to get Calvin Johnson, Jarrett would be a suitable consolation.
Previous: |
|
36 |
Ryan Kalil
|
C |
USC |
 Capable of starting at any of the three interior positions.
Previous: |
|
37 |
*Lawrence Timmons
|
OLB |
Florida St |
 Possessing instincts and athleticism, the Bears protect themselves against a Briggs holdout or trade.
Previous: |
|
38 |
Ray McDonald
|
DE |
Florida |
 The Cardinals expect to implement some of the 3-4 alignment. McDonald has the size and strength to be effective in either the 3-4 or 4-3 schemes.
Previous: |
|
39 |
Steve Smith
|
WR |
USC |
 If unable to trade up for Calvin Johnson in the first round, Smith would be an attractive option here.
Previous: |
|
40 |
Trent Edwards
|
QB |
Stanford |
 The Dolphins need someone -- anyone -- to help at quarterback.
Previous: |
|
|
41 |
Craig Davis
|
WR |
LSU |
 The most successful receiver currently on the Vikings' roster is journeyman Bobby Shaw.
Previous: |
|
42 |
Tony Ugoh
|
OT |
Ark |
 The 49ers would like to add competition at each of the tackle positions, and Ugoh has plenty of upside.
Previous: |
|
43 |
Marcus McCauley
|
CB |
Fresno St |
 The Bills are forced to look toward the draft for a replacement for Nate Clements.
Previous: |
|
44 |
Ikaika Alama-Francis
|
DE |
Hawaii |
 The Falcons may have to completely retool their defensive line with Patrick Kerney leaving and Grady Jackson suing the team.
Previous: |
|
45 |
*Zach Miller
|
TE |
Arizona St |
 The Panthers hope to make tight end more of a featured weapon next year.
Previous: |
|
46 |
LaMarr Woodley
|
DE |
Michigan |
 The Steelers need to add depth at linebacker. Woodley is athletic enough to help here, or transition back to end if the team goes with the 4-3.
Previous: |
|
47 |
Eric Weddle
|
SS |
Utah |
 Marquand Manuel was a huge disappointment last season, and Weddle's versatility and playmaking ability are intriguing.
Previous: |
|
48 |
Drew Stanton
|
QB |
Michigan St |
 Maybe rather than adding new receivers each year, the club should groom a new quarterback.
Previous: |
|
49 |
Paul Posluszny
|
OLB |
Penn St |
 A few months ago the Bengals would have considered him in the first round, but poor workouts have Posluszny dropping.
Previous: |
|
50 |
Anthony Spencer
|
DE |
Purdue |
 Talented pass rusher capable of relieving some of the pressure on Kyle Vanden Bosch.
Previous: |
|
51 |
*Eric Wright
|
CB |
UNLV |
 Cornerback is a huge mess for the Giants, and Wright has first-round ability.
Previous: |
|
52 |
*Anthony Gonzalez
|
WR |
Ohio St |
 The Rams would like to add some depth at receiver and might find Gonzalez too much to pass up here.
Previous: |
|
53 |
Josh Wilson
|
CB |
Maryland |
 A tough guy despite his lack of size, Wilson's speed and tackling make him a solid value in the mid to late second round.
Previous: |
|
54 |
Tank Tyler
|
DT |
NC State |
 Defensive tackle is arguably the Chiefs' biggest need, and Tyler is a value at this point in the draft.
Previous: |
|
55 |
Daymeion Hughes
|
CB |
Cal |
 The last team to make a pick in the 2007 draft, the Seahawks are forced to wait and take the best available player here. Seattle would prefer a better athlete, but Hughes' instincts make him a nice fit.
Previous: |
|
56 |
*Charles Johnson
|
DE |
Georgia |
 The Broncos want to add a pass rusher via the draft, and Johnson is a solid value pick here.
Previous: |
|
|
57 |
Brian Leonard
|
RB |
Rutgers |
 Would provide a versatile option to play along Brian Westbrook.
Previous: |
|
|
58 |
Jonathan Wade
|
CB |
Tennessee |
 Even with the addition of Jason David, the Saints would like to add more depth at cornerback.
Previous: |
|
|
59 |
Samson Satele
|
C |
Hawaii |
 A four-year starter, Satele has experience at guard and center and would stabilize the Jets' interior.
Previous: |
|
|
60 |
Turk McBride
|
DT |
Tennessee |
 The Dolphins would like to add some depth to their defensive interior and McBride's versatility is a plus.
Previous: |
|
|
61 |
Kevin Kolb
|
QB |
Houston |
 The Ravens are planning to spend a first-day selection on a quarterback and are high on Kolb's passing.
Previous: |
|
62 |
Tanard Jackson
|
FS |
Syracuse |
 Rumors of off-field concerns could cause Jackson's stock to plummet, but the Chargers clearly need secondary help.
Previous: |
|
63 |
Jason Hill
|
WR |
Wash St |
 The Jets want more depth at receiver and Hill's Combine showing (4.32-second 40-yard dash) shows he has the speed Jerricho Cotchery, Laveranues Coles and Justin McCareins lack.
Previous: |
|
|
64 |
Victor Abiamiri
|
DE |
Notre Dame |
 A possible successor for Dewayne White (or perhaps Simeon Rice?)
