|
Michael Johnson,
Georgia Tech, DE
|
Johnson has Top 10 overall talent, but plays
like a 5th rounder...Schwartz and Detroit loading up on the D-Line this
draft.
|
|
34
|
|
Alphonso Smith, Wake Forest, CB
|
Perfect fit for the Pats depleted secondary...Smith hard-nosed against
the run and great in zone coverage.
|
|
35
|
|
Alex Mack, California, C
|
Mack clearly the best Center prospect in
draft, Rams get great value in early Round 2...Fills major need on STL O-Line.
|
|
36
|
|
Sean Smith, Utah, CB/FS
|
Soaring up draft boards late in the process,
Smith can play both corner and safety for the Browns who need help
everywhere.
|
|
37
|
|
William Beatty, Connecticut, OT
|
Great value here, Beatty could very easily go
in Round 1...Seattle O-Line getting older, Walter Jones replacement in 2 years.
|
|
38
|
|
Larry English, Northern Illinois, DE
|
Bengals doing major reconstruction to
defensive front...English can also play OLB in a 3-4 scheme.
|
|
39
|
|
Evander Hood, Missouri, DT
|
Hood a playmaking DT who can rush the passer,
a great fit alongside John Henderson in Jacksonville.
|
|
40
|
|
Duke Robinson, Oklahoma, G
|
Solid O-Line pick here for Oakland...That's 2 for 2 this year for Al
Davis as far as no brainer picks go...What is going on Al?
|
|
41
|
|
DJ Moore, Vanderbilt, CB
|
Brings much needed speed and quickness to
Packers secondary...This pick should allow Charles Woodson to move to FS.
|
|
42
|
|
Donald Brown, UConn, RB
|
With Marshawn Lynch in trouble with the league,
Bills waste no time getting a dependable #2 option with Donny Ballgame.
|
|
43
|
|
James
Laurinaitis, Ohio State,
ILB
|
Falls to the 2nd round after a
mediocre showing in the draft workouts...Should be the perfect fit next to
Patrick Willis for the next 10+ years in the Singletary 3-4.
|
|
44
|
|
Pat
White, West
Virginia, QB/WR
|
Parcells/Sparano get the Wildcat QB they were waiting for...White will
also line up outside and catch passes for the Phins.
|
|
45
|
|
Troy Kropog, Tulane, T
|
Giants get much needed depth for their O-Line. Kropog a nice, low downside type prospect
that can play on either side.
|
|
46
|
|
Louis Delmas, Western Michigan, S
|
Texans finally spend a top pick on a
safety...Delmas arguably the top safety prospect in the draft this year...Should
start from Day 1.
|
|
47
|
|
Connor Barwin, Cincinatti, OLB
|
Patriots next big sack artist...Former Tight End Barwin notched 11 sacks
in 2008 in his first year as a full-time defender.
|
|
48
|
|
Jarron Gilbert, San Jose State, DE/DT
|
Enough athleticism to jump out of a pool from
a dead stand, Gilbert a great fit as a DE in the new Broncos 3-4.
|
|
49
|
|
Coye Francis, San Jose State, CB
|
Bears add a versatile athlete to thin
secondary...Francis should start out as a CB, but could also be moved to FS.
|
|
50
|
|
LeSean McCoy, Pittsburgh,
RB
|
Gives Browns some nice slash and dash to go with the power of Jamal
Lewis.
|
|
51
|
|
Patrick Chung, Oregon, S
|
P-Chung is a great replacement for Roy Williams...He
also hits hard and is great against the run.
|
|
52
|
|
Ron Brace, Boston College, DT
|
Brace a huge presence inside at 6'3'',
330lbs...A great fit at nose tackle in Rex Ryan's new 3-4 Jets defense.
|
|
53
|
|
Phil Loadholt, Oklahoma, T
|
With Tra Thomas and Jon Runyan no longer in
town, Eagles have a huge need at Tackle....Loadholt as big as they come at 6'7'',
340lbs.
|
|
54
|
|
William Moore,
Missouri,
S
|
After losing Darren Sharper to the Saints, Moore should be a great
value pick for the Vikes here in late round 2.
|
|
55
|
|
Paul Kruger, Utah, DE
|
Jamaal Anderson is pretty much a bust at this
point after 2 sacks in 2 seasons, Kruger should take over at DE by
mid-season.
|
|
56
|
|
Victor Harris, Virginia Tech, CB
|
Macho Harris ran much better at his Pro Day to
alleviate concerns about a lack of speed.
|
|
57
|
|
James
Casey, Rice, TE
|
Chris Cooley type H-back, Casey will be lining
up all over the place for OC Cam Cameron in '09...Todd Heap who?
|
|
58
|
|
Rhett Bomar, Sam
Houston State,
QB
|
Can learn from Brady for 3 years (like Cassel)
and then get flipped for a draft pick (like Cassel)...Bomar
has a big arm and was a huge college prospect at one time.
|
|
59
|
|
Laurence Sidbury, Richmond, DE
|
Ran a 4.64 at the Combine...Possible Julius
Peppers replacement if the Panthers end up trading him.
|
|
60
|
|
Darry Beckwith, LSU, ILB
|
Beckwith a big time hitter...should be able to
replace Antonio Pierce at MLB by 2010.
|
|
61
|
|
Sen'Derrick
Marks, Auburn,
DT
|
Colts have major gaps on the defensive
line...Marks a great fit because of his pass rush skills at the DT position.
|
|
62
|
|
Chris
Baker, Hampton, DT
|
Losing Albert Haynesworth will hurt the
Titans, but not with a wide body like Chris Baker on board....Huge upside, but
raw.
|
|
63
|
|
Gerald McRath, Southern Miss, OLB
|
McRath very productive player at So Miss,
immediate special teams contributor for Cards in 09...Starter at OLB in '10
(when Dansby leaves).
|
|
64
|
|
Eric Wood, Louisville, C
|
Almost went with Alex Mack in Round 1, but
instead get Wood in late round 2 with almost the same type of upside.
