|
Jermaine Gresham |
TE |
Oklahoma |
|
|
The Bengals will finally address the tight end early in this draft. Gresham has the size and receiving
ability to cause mismatches at the next level. |
|
22. |
|
Dez Bryant |
WR |
Oklahoma State |
|
|
Dez Bryant falls all the way to #22 and the Patriots will not hesitate to select him. The Pats have
questions about their receivers, especially since Wes Welker is injured. |
|
23. |
|
Bruce Campbell |
OT |
Maryland |
|
|
The Packers had serious issues at the tackle positions. Campbell is extremely athletic and fits well in
their zone blocking scheme. |
|
24. |
|
Kyle Wilson |
CB |
Boise State |
|
|
The Eagles will look to bolster their secondary in Thursday's draft. Wilson is the #2 corner on the board
and serves as a possible return man if needed. |
|
25. |
|
Jared Odrick |
DE |
Penn State |
|
|
The Ravens love to draft players who simply fit their style of football. Odrick fits well in their hybrid 3-4
defense. |
|
|
|
Sergio Kindle |
OLB |
Texas |
|
|
The Cardinals must improve the front seven after losing Karlos Dansby to free agency. Kindle can play
the rush linebacker role who can excel in a 3-4 defense. |
|
27. |
|
Vladimir Ducasse |
OG |
Massachusetts |
|
|
All five offensive line starters are over 30 years old. Ducasse has been flying up draft boards with his
size and tenacious play. |
|
28. |
|
Jonathan Dwyer |
RB |
Georgia Tech |
|
|
The Chargers have expressed the need to bring in a premier running back who can carry a full
workload. Dwyer has all the tools and is certainly an option at the end of the 1st round. |
|
29. |
|
Jerry Hughes |
OLB |
TCU |
|
|
The Jets will look to bolster the front seven after addressing most of their needs through free agency
and trades. Hughes fits well in their 3-4 attacking defense. |
|
30. |
|
Tim Tebow |
QB |
Florida |
|
|
The Vikings have expressed considerable interest in the Florida star. The pick makes sense because
the Vikings would let Tebow develop behind likely QB Brett Favre. |
|
31. |
|
Rodger Saffold |
OT |
Indiana |
|
|
The Colts must improve their offensive line, especially at the tackle position. Saffold has been rising up
boards and looks like a possible late first round pick. |
|
32. |
|
Sean Weatherspoon |
OLB |
Missouri |
|
|
The Saints lost key pieces to their linebacking core of last season. Weatherspoon is a rangy defender
who could excel in their cover 2 scheme. |
