Pick 65
RAMS: George Selvie DE
Selvie is a monster pass rusher who got outshown by his new teammate Pierre-Paul. In pryor years he was, arguably, the most disruptive pass rusher in the country. A great bookend for Chris Long.
Pick 66
LIONS: Myron Rolle SS
Rolle is a first round talent at SS who is a Rhodes Scholor. The problem is that he took a year off to be a Rhodes Scholar. He would the second piece to a great pair of safeties in Detroit though, give them half of a tremendous defensive backfield.
Pick 67
BUCCANEERS: Lamarr Houston DT/DE(3/4)
Houston is a very explosive DT who was honorable mention Big 12 at DE before moving inside. If that doesn't sound like a 3/4 Defensive End, I don't know what does. He moves very well for a 300 lb guy with a 4.85 40 yard dash.
Pick 68
CHIEFS: Darrell Stuckey SS
Stuckey was one of the leaders of the Jayhawks reversal of fortunes. He is a touch smaller than you would like in a SS, but he is a sub 4.5 guy and a very sure tackler.
Pick 69
RAIDERS: Jacoby Ford WR/KR
C.J. Spiller was not the fastest player on the Clemson team, Ford was. He is a legitimate wide receiver, with track speed. A bit undersized, but wonderfully explosive with the ball in his hands. Just the kind of player that the Raiders love to draft. He will instantly improve their return game and if they are smart, they will give him at least a handful more touches each game.
Pick 70
EAGLES: O'Brien Schofield DE
Schofield was a monster his senior year at Wisconsin. He played with his hand on the ground a lot for them, but was looking very good at OLB at the senior bowl before tearing his ACL. This is a pick for the future, but the upside is huge and his pass rush ability fits what the Eagles do on defense wonderfully.
Pick 71
BROWNS: Kam Chancellor FS/DB
Chancellor is a poor man's Taylor Mays. Big, fast, and a vicious hitter. He has played outside linebacker, corner, and free safety at a high level, and that kind of flexibility and talent is just what rebuilding teams like the Browns need.
Pick 72
BILLS: Larry Asante SS
Asante is a converted linebacker who is still improving as a safety and came on really strong at the end of last season. He is very good close to the line, but has proven himself capable in man to man coverage.
Pick 73
DOLPHINS: Cam Thomas NT
Cam Thomas is 6'3", 330 lbs. Just the kind of monster athlete the Fins need at Nose Tackle. Throw in the fact that he is a very good athlete for his size and he is almost guarnateed to require a double team.
Pick 74
JAGUARS: Navorro Bowman
Physcically, Bowman is, arguably, the best Outside Linebacker prospect in this draft. But like a handful of other Nittany Lions, he had trouble staying out of trouble. If they can keep him on the field, he will be a steal for the Jags.
Pick 75
BEARS: Mardy Gilyard
Gilyard was mess coming out of High School. He thought he was a star, and got himself kicked out of school. Now, he is what he though he was. (Channelling Denny Green lol)
He can run, he can catch, and he has a chance to be in the league for awhile.
Pick 76
GIANTS: Eric Norwood
Norwood is a tremendous athlete and linebacker. He was a team leader for the Cocks for 4 years, never missing a game. He is a prototype for a 3-4 Outside Linebacker.
Pick 77
TITANS: Jordan Shipley
Shipley's measurables are not great, relative to other Wide Receivers, but this guy makes plays. He is a weapon in the return game as well as the passing game, has great hands, and proved himself nigh uncoverable while at Texas. Vince needs guys who can make plays for him, and Shipley should be a great slot receiver in the NFL.
Pick 78
PANTHERS: Major Wright
Wright is a solid Free Safety with a nose for the ball. He has been a bit overshadowed on a rediculous Gator defense, but he would likely start sooner rather than later for the Panthers. To put him in perspective, he started a freshman for the Gators and never let go of that job. That is saying a lot with the talent they have coming in.
Pick 79
49ERS: Dexter McCluster
McCluster dropped after his 40 time was not as good as expected at the combine. However, he was a weapon all over the field for the Rebels, and the 49ers need weapons. McCluster can step in immediately in the slot, moving to running back for 3rd down situations.
Pick 80
BRONCOS: Josh McNeil C
McNeil is the second rated center in this draft and has been a star in the SEC lining up against some monstrous DT's.
Pick 81
TEXANS: Charles Brown OT
Brown is the best Offensive Lineman coming out of USC this year. He is one of the premier pass blocking Tackle prospects this year, but needs more size and strength for the run game. However, with the Texans running a zone blocking scheme, he should be a perfect fit, and has the frame to gain the weight.
Pick 82
STEELERS: Selvish Capers
Capers played in a zone blocking scheme most of his career, which makes projecting him a bit difficult for teams that don't run that scheme. However, he has been opening expansive holes for a prolific spread rushing attack and has room to gain more weight. He is very spry, having moved from Tight End, but still has a lot of room for improvement. He is best a right tackle, and should be a decent fit in Pittsburgh's version of the spread.
Pick 83
FALCONS: Ricky Sapp DE/OLB
Sapp is very fast and will give the Falcon's defensive coaching staff flexibility. He can play OLB or put his hand on the ground in passing situations. Initially, he is likely to be best used and most successful rushing the passer, but has shown some ability in pass coverage and plays the run well for an undersized DE.
Pick 84
BENGALS: Geno Atkins DT
Atkins is a very quick Defensive Tackle who should be able to provide an inside rush for the Bengals. If they can find a DT who can require a double team in passing situations, their young Defensive Ends will be able to flourish. Atkinds should be that guy. For that matter, he can rotate to D-End if needed. He runs a sub 4.8 at 280 lbs. Think about that for a second.....damn
Pick 85
RAIDERS: Sean Lee LB
Lee is a first round talent who has excelled at both Inside and Outside linebacker. There is concern about his injury history, but he recovered well enough to run a 4.6 at the combine. If he is healthy, this is a steal in the third round.
Pick 86
PACKERS: Ben Tate RB
A lot of people outside SEC country don't know his name, but there was seriously consideration during the season for him being the best back in the country. Don't forget, Mark Ingram is in the SEC too. Tate only had one big season due being underutilized his junior year during Auburn's short experiment with the spread attack. He is a very good all-around back and would be a significant part of the Pack's offense as a rookie
Pick 87
EAGLES: Mike Williams WR
Williams is one of the best WR talents in this draft, but he will drop due to some seriously concerns about his off the field issues and diva behavior. Philly has dealt with that before and the potential of adding him as the third receiver behind Maclin and DeSean is huge. With receivers like that, it won't matter who is the QB. The Eagles are going to light up any secdondary in the league.
Pick 88
CARDINALS: Dekoda Watson OLB
Dekoda is as fast as most runningbacks, and is incredibly strong for his size. He started 3 years at Florida State, and when you look at the linebackers coming out of Tallahassee, that is saying a lot. True sideline to sideline speed and has the game experience to keep him in the right position.
Pick 89
CARDINALS: Perrish Cox CB
Cox is a premier athlete who is still improving as a corner. He showed well enough this year that he should be able to plug in as a nickel or dime back while being a serious special teams contributor. The Cardinals have quality corners, but this is a great depth pick and allows them to protect their other skill position players
Pick 90
COWBOYS: Jared Veldheer OL
Veldheer was the second most impressive lineman at the combine. Some teams think he projects as one of the top 3 tackels in this draft, but he has not played against top level competition. He is a very promising development prospect, and that is perfect for the Cowboys.
Pick 91
CHARGERS: Anthony Dixon RB
A big, fast back to paid with Darren Sproles as a change of pace. Dixon is a poor man's Gerhardt, he doesn't make people miss, but he does get the tough yards. After chasing Sproles, this is not what you want to see barreling down on you.
Pick 92
BROWNS: Montario Hardesty RB
Hardesty has good size, 4.5 speed, and can catch the ball. Injury concerns over his knee should be nil after playing 3 years with no further significan time lost. This is a great pick at this point in the draft as you get a back who could have easily been given a first round grade.
Pick 93
Vikings: Dan Lefevour QB
A great athlete at QB who has proven himself a winner. He is best from a shotgun and it will take him a bit of time to transition to running an O from under center. That said, he has the size and enough arm to play the position. He has the potential to be a very good NFL starter in a couple years.
Pick 94
COLTS: Anthony McCoy TE
A big time athlete at tight end who is still developing. He is a better blocker than Dallas Clark was coming in, maybe better than he is now. Has soft hands and played in a pro-style offense in college. One more weapons for Peyton to take advantage of.
Pick 95
SAINTS: Justin Woodall SS
A great athlete at safety that was overshadowed a little bit playing in the SEC. He would have easily been a second around pick most years. A sub 4.6 40 time at 220 lbs makes him very valuable commodity as he could play some LB in nickel situations as well as having the speed and skills to cover running backs and tight ends man to man.
