Todd McShay full seven round mock - April 21, 2009

Oher makes four top-10 OTs
Big-name wideouts and defensive ends on the move as first round shuffles

McShay By Todd McShay
Scouts Inc.

The winds of change have blown again since last week, when Scouts Inc. overhauled its first-round projection and moved QB Mark Sanchez all the way up to No. 4 overall to Seattle. This time receivers and offensive tackles are the story.

Our seven-round mock draft has big names on the move, including OT Michael Oher elbowing his way into the top 10 and WR Michael Crabtree nearly falling out. Oher's arrival means that four of the top 10 picks in this projection are offensive tackles, including three of the top six, while Crabtree has been passed in this mock draft by Jeremy Maclin.

The shuffling at the top will create a ripple effect down the draft board with several teams ignoring needs to take the best available prospect, and one in particular reaching to fill a big need in the middle of the first round.

With all that in mind, here is Scouts Inc.'s complete seven-round projection, which will undergo some tweaking Friday on the eve of the draft:

NFL.com Video

An inside look at quarterback Matthew Stafford from Georgia.
1. Detroit Lions (Record: 0-16): Matthew Stafford, QB, Georgia
Top three needs: QB, LOT, DE
Stafford is the very clear choice for Detroit. Among the three players the Lions have said they are negotiating with Stafford is at the top, Jason Smith would be the next choice if negotiations with Stafford broke down, and Curry is a long shot. The Lions definitely want a deal in place with the top pick before the draft, and they definitely hope it's with Stafford.

2. St. Louis Rams (2-14): Jason Smith, OT, Baylor
Top three needs: OT, WR, MLB
Smith has the athleticism and tenacity of a premier starting left tackle, which is priority No. 1 for St. Louis after it parted ways with Orlando Pace during the offseason. If Smith is on the board, it's hard to imagine the Rams going in any other direction.

3. Kansas City Chiefs (2-14): Aaron Curry, LB, Wake Forest
Top three needs: Rush LB, DT, 3-4 DL
Here's where it starts to get interesting. This pick is suddenly much more valuable given the fact that Sanchez is projected to come off the board at No. 4, but it remains to be seen whether any team will pay the huge price it would take to get ahead of Seattle. Curry is without question the best available player, but does he fit what the Chiefs are looking to do defensively as they move to a 3-4 look? I think Curry is just as valuable inside in a 3-4 as he is outside in a 4-3, but the one thing they don't get for certain is an impact pass-rusher off the edge. I think Kansas City goes with Curry, but if the Chiefs go in a different direction it will likely be OT Eugene Monroe.

4. Seattle Seahawks (4-12): Mark Sanchez, QB, USC
Top three needs: OLB, OT, S
The Seahawks are clearly looking for the heir apparent to current starter Matt Hasselbeck, who has dealt with nagging injuries recently but likely has two or three more years in him. There are also questions about stud LT Walter Jones, who is coming off a serious knee injury, but selecting Sanchez will allow Seattle to eventually hand the reins from one franchise quarterback to another.

5. Cleveland Browns (4-12): B.J. Raji, DT, Boston College
Top three needs: OLB, WR, CB
Raji is the best player on the board at this point and would provide the Browns with a stout nose tackle in their 3-4 defense. He has the size and strength to anchor against double-teams in the running game and the burst and quickness to collapse the pocket and get to the quarterback as a pass-rusher.

6. Cincinnati Bengals (4-11-1): Eugene Monroe, OT, Virginia
Top three needs: OT, C, RB
Monroe is the best pure pass-blocker in the draft, and he makes sense for a team that has had trouble staying healthy up front and has invested significant money in QB Carson Palmer.

7. Oakland Raiders (5-11): Jeremy Maclin, WR, Missouri
Top three needs: OT, WR, DT
We rate Crabtree as the top receiver in the 2009 draft, but Raiders owner Al Davis is in love with speed and gives Maclin the edge here. Maclin is one of the most explosive players in the draft and fills one of Oakland's biggest needs, and while he is a bit raw as a receiver and route-runner, his speed is impressive and he can also contribute in the return game.

8. Jacksonville Jaguars (5-11): Michael Crabtree, WR, Texas Tech
Top three needs: WR, CB, DT
There has been a lot of talk in recent weeks about the Jaguars trading out of this spot and giving another team a shot at Sanchez, but with Sanchez slotted fourth in this projection, that scenario is out. Crabtree offers great value and a good fit here with his blend of size, hands and body control, and he would give QB David Garrard a legitimate weapon on the outside.

9. Green Bay Packers (6-10): Andre Smith, OT, Alabama
Top three needs: 3-4 OLB, 3-4 DL, OT
We've had DE/OLB hybrids Aaron Maybin and Brian Orakpo in this spot recently, but they are sliding a bit. Smith makes sense here because Packers OTs Mark Tauscher and Chad Clifton are aging and have dealt with injury, and Smith has bounced back from the disastrous start to his pre-draft preparation and now offers good value here.

10. San Francisco 49ers (7-9): Michael Oher, OT, Mississippi
Top three needs: ROT, QB, S
The 49ers want a right tackle who can step in and contribute right away, and Oher is a mauler as a run blocker who could do just that. The team would like to move current LT Joe Staley back to the right side, and this scenario will allow Oher to get used to blitz pickups and the speed of the NFL game before moving to the left side.

11. Buffalo Bills (7-9): Brian Orakpo, DE/OLB, Texas
Top three needs: Rush DE, C/G, TE
Orakpo is the top-rated DE/OLB hybrid in this draft and we think he is a better fit at end in a 4-3 alignment, which makes him a great fit for the Bills. His strength and burst off the edge will be a welcome addition for a defense that got only three combined sacks from Chris Kelsay and Aaron Schobel last season.

12. Denver Broncos (8-8): Tyson Jackson, DE, LSU
Top three needs: QB, NT, 3-4 DE
The interesting thing with Denver is that on paper, the Broncos need a quarterback. But even if Sanchez were to fall to the Broncos here, I don't expect them to pull the trigger. This pick is all about the D-line for the Broncos. If Raji somehow slips, they'll cash in and grab him. If not, Denver will take the best five-technique DE (interior DE in a 3-4) in this year's class.

13. Washington Redskins (8-8): Aaron Maybin, DE, Penn State
Top three needs: DE, ROT, strongside LB
There are three angles with the Redskins and this pick. One: If Sanchez falls, they take him. Two: They could mortgage their future and send draft picks to move up to take Sanchez. I'm not convinced they'll do it, but it certainly wouldn't be against owner Dan Snyder's style. Three: Assuming Sanchez is gone, they go either with an offensive tackle or a defensive end. In this case, Maybin is the best value on the board between those two positions, and his quickness and agility off the edge would give the Redskins versatility at the position opposite Andre Carter.

14. New Orleans Saints (8-8): Malcolm Jenkins, CB, Ohio State
Top three needs: OLB, FS, RB
The Saints have been rumored to have their eye on Jenkins' former teammate Beanie Wells, but Jenkins is the safer pick here. He has the versatility to play both corner and safety but would fit best at free safety on a New Orleans defense that is in desperate need of playmakers on the back end.

15. Houston Texans (8-8): Robert Ayers, DE, Tennessee
Top three needs: SS, NT, rush DE
Ayers is a one-year wonder, but he has good size and can get up the field after the quarterback. Adding him to the mix with DE Mario Williams and DT Amobi Okoye would present big problems for opposing protection schemes.

16. San Diego Chargers (8-8): Chris "Beanie" Wells, RB, Ohio State
Top three needs: ROT, RG, SS
The running back situation in San Diego is not as good as you might think. LaDainian Tomlinson has dealt with nagging injuries recently, Darren Sproles was given the franchise tag during the offseason and Michael Bennett is an aging backup who won't carry much of the load, so this is a good luxury pick for the Chargers. Wells would provide them with a big back who can keep Tomlinson fresh and allow Sproles to remain in a complementary role, and he would also provide some certainty for the future.

For the complete seven-round projection all the way to the 256th pick, including the drama surrounding the Jets at No. 17 and whether more than two running backs will come off the board in the first round, become an ESPN Insider today. Insider

17. New York Jets (9-7): Josh Freeman, QB, Kansas State
Top three needs: QB, WR, TE
The price to move up and get Sanchez is likely too steep for the Jets now that he's projected to go No. 4 overall, and there are enough questions about speedy wideouts Darrius Heyward-Bey and Percy Harvin to take them here. Freeman would definitely be a reach at this point given questions about his instincts and consistency, but his size and rifle arm could be enough to overshadow any concerns and push the Jets to make a desperation move. Quarterback talent drops off significantly after Freeman, and at this point he is New York's best chance to fill that need.

18. Denver Broncos (from 9-7 CHI) (8-8): Everette Brown, DE, Florida State
Top three needs: QB, NT, 3-4 DE
The Broncos will look to continue to upgrade their defensive front seven with this pick, and Brown could help fill out the rotation of perimeter pass-rushers. The wild card here could be a running back. If Beanie Wells starts to fall, the Broncos could look to take advantage and snag the Ohio State product because he's a perfect fit for Denver's zone-blocking scheme.

19. Tampa Bay Buccaneers (9-7): Brian Cushing, OLB, USC
Top three needs: QB, DT, OLB
The Buccaneers wil pass on somewhat-undersized DT Peria Jerry because they are trying to get bigger and more physical in the front seven than they were in the scheme of former defensive coordinator Monte Kiffin. While Cushing has limitations in coverage he fits the bill in terms of size and strength at the point of attack, and he has the versatility to play inside if needed.

20. Detroit Lions (from 9-7 DAL) (0-16): Peria Jerry, DT, Mississippi
Top three needs: QB, LOT, DE
New coach Jim Schwartz will rotate his defensive linemen throughout a game, and current DTs Grady Jackson and Chuck Darby are on the down side of their careers. Jerry would fit well in that rotation as a one-gap penetrator who can create havoc in the middle.

21. Philadelphia Eagles (9-6-1): Knowshon Moreno, RB, Georgia
Top three needs: WR, RB, TE
Offensive tackle is not a need area after the Jason Peters trade and Moreno is a tremendous value at this point in the first round. Moreno's versatility makes him a good fit in Philly as the short-term complement to Brian Westbrook and long-term replacement for him.

22. Minnesota Vikings (10-6): Darrius Heyward-Bey, WR, Maryland
Top three needs: QB, ROT, C
There are questions about Heyward-Bey's route-running and hands, but he was the fastest player at the combine and his speed would provide a downfield threat for an offense that needs to prevent defenses from ganging up on RB Adrian Peterson.

23. New England Patriots (11-5): Clay Matthews, OLB, USC
Top three needs: OLB, strongside ILB, CB
If Jenkins falls, don't be surprised to see the Patriots take advantage of that and select him. His versatility fits perfectly in New England. But if he's not there, Matthews has "Patriots" written all over him. Matthews' best football is still ahead of him, he has great NFL bloodlines, he can play multiple roles on defense and he will be a special-teams demon from Day 1.

24. Atlanta Falcons (11-5): Brandon Pettigrew, TE, Oklahoma State
Top three needs: DT/NT, OLB, S
Atlanta really wants to target defense with this draft, but there isn't a player close to Pettigrew's value at this point. Assuming the Falcons don't bring in a veteran between now and the draft, they have to go with the only first-round TE in this year's class if he's available.

25. Miami Dolphins (11-5): Vontae Davis, CB, Illinois
Top three needs: CB, WR, NT
Davis is perhaps the best cover corner in the draft and a top-15 talent, but he has fallen a bit due to concerns about his work ethic and consistency. Still, he makes perfect sense for a team that made the playoffs last year but needs a playmaker in the defensive secondary. Davis is a great value at this point, and on a team with strong leadership in the front office, and the locker-room character concerns are not as significant as they might be for other teams.

26. Baltimore Ravens (11-5): Kenny Britt, WR, Rutgers
Top three needs: WR, CB, ILB
Britt is the perfect fit in Baltimore with his combination of size, hands and better-than-expected top-end speed. He would provide another reliable option for QB Joe Flacco and add to a receiving corps that has struggled to stay healthy and counts on big contributions from aging veteran Derrick Mason.

27. Indianapolis Colts (12-4): Percy Harvin, WR, Florida
Top three needs: DT, WR, OLB
The Colts are most likely to use this pick on a defensive tackle or wide receiver, and while WR Hakeem Nicks is worth the pick, he does not have the type of speed Indy looks for in its pass-catchers. That means Harvin is the pick, and questions about his durability and attitude are worth the risk at this point in the first round.

28. Buffalo Bills (from 12-4 CAR through Philadelphia) (7-9): Eben Britton, OT, Arizona
Top three needs: DE, C/G, TE
Buffalo traded away Jason Peters to get this pick, and Britton will help fill the void left by Peters' departure. Britton has good size and good feet and will fit in nicely with the Bills' offense.

29. New York Giants (12-4): Hakeem Nicks, WR, North Carolina
Top three needs: WR, strongside LB, OT
There's a lot of speculation about Braylon Edwards being traded to the Giants, which would cost New York this pick. But there hasn't been a deal yet, and if the Giants hold on to this pick and don't bring in a veteran, Nicks is a no-brainer. He's big, has exceptional hand-eye coordination and is ready to contribute for Eli Manning right now.

30. Tennessee Titans (13-3): Rey Maualuga, ILB, USC
Top three needs: WR, DT, MLB
Tennessee's biggest need is at wide receiver, but that has been the Titans' biggest need for the past half-dozen years and they haven't used a first-round pick on a receiver yet, so why start now? The Titans would like to move Stephen Tulloch to the outside where his lack of size is not as much of an issue, and Maualuga would give them a big downhill thumper who can stop the run in the middle and showed underrated pass-rush skills at the Senior Bowl.

31. Arizona Cardinals (9-7): Donald Brown, RB, Connecticut
Top three needs: RB, OLB, LOT
Brown lacks exceptional breakaway speed, but he's instinctive, tough and versatile enough to contribute on all three downs in the NFL right now. Arizona doesn't have to take a running back here, but it would be wise to take advantage of Brown being there, especially with an aging Edgerrin James and a still-unproven Tim Hightower as the only two backs on the roster.

32. Pittsburgh Steelers (12-4): Max Unger, C, Oregon
Top three needs: OT, CB, 3-4 DE
Cornerback could be a possibility here, and Alphonso Smith, despite his lack of ideal size and top-end speed, has the playmaking skills and toughness to fit well in Pittsburgh. But this is the time for the Steelers to develop young talent along the offensive line, and Unger's size, strength and versatility are better suited for what Pittsburgh looks for in an offensive lineman, and give him a slight edge over Alex Mack and Eric Wood.

These are the creme de la creme and will have the only 3 mocks you need coming out tonight / tomorrow morning. Create a complication based off their opinions and can all but guarantee you'll get about 10 picks right. I've seen as many as 13 right based off a complication (2007 I believe) with these three.

 

[letsgohoosiers]

Gil Brandt's Top 100 is worth watching as well.

 

[ZJP6050]

percy harvin to the steelers seems a little bit unrealistic lol..

 

[Mr.Smith]

Harvin would be scary if drafted by a dome team, playing home games in good weather on astroturf all the time which would highlight his speed.

Would be a good surprise pick for the Colts

My friend, I've been tracking this for the last 5 years and the following gurus are the ONLY ones that you need to worry about.

- Rick Gosselin (Dallas Morning News)
- Nolan Narowcki (Pro Football Weekly)
- Mike Mayock (NFL.com)

Honestly, I stopped following Mayock when he gushed effusively about White. Any team drafting White in the first two rounds should have their GM fired immediately. Comparing him to ARE or Matt Jones is a joke. There is nothing extraordinarily special about White. He's not tall, not fast, doesn't have experience at WR, doesn't have experience with a pro-style system at QB, etc.

Gosselin and Narowcki though I have heard nothing but good things about.

ProFootballWeekly.com will provide real-time coverage of the NFL draft beginning at 4 p.m. EDT Saturday and continuing throughout the weekend. Nolan Nawrocki will provide analysis of every selection in the first two rounds, and we'll offer commentary on each of the first 10 picks, blog postings and fantasy football analysis.
<TABLE align=left border=0><TBODY><TR><TD>

</TD></TR><TR><TD>

LSU DE Tyson Jackson​

</TD></TR></TBODY></TABLE>Until a rookie wage scale is implemented, few teams will have interest trading into the top five, and it’s unlikely any deals are struck at the very top of the draft. The hot spot for the first trade is Jacksonville’s No. 8 slot, where interest in the draft’s second quarterback, a sliding left tackle or standout receiver could generate serious interest. In most drafts, the board begins to fall apart in the third round. In this year’s draft, it falls off in the first, potentially forcing many teams to more seriously consider sacrificing picks in exchange for more established veterans or for future draft picks.
In general, more teams are interested in moving down than up, but a “U” (up) or “D” (down) is used below to signify interest that has been expressed in trading one way or another in the last 24 hours. An asterisk (*) denotes a junior or third-year sophomore.
1. Detroit Lions — QB Matt Stafford, Georgia*
Scott Linehan’s vertical offense requires a big arm, a trait that his quarterback never had in St. Louis. The decision to pass on Jay Cutler in the 2006 draft (the Rams traded the No. 11 pick to Denver and ended up selecting CB Tye Hill with the 15th pick) may have cost Linehan his first head-coaching job, but Jim Schwartz did not make the same mistake with Stafford, whose intelligence sealed the deal.
2. St. Louis Rams (D) — OLT Jason Smith, Baylor
Tough, physical, competitive and nasty, Smith not only fills the Rams’ biggest need after they released Orlando Pace, he also will bring a surly attitude that will help establish a new identity on the offensive line.
3. Kansas City Chiefs (D) — DE Tyson Jackson, LSU
A very durable, prototype five-technique, Jackson gives the Chiefs an anchor to build their defense around, much the same way GM Scott Pioli did with Bill Belichick in New England. It may not be a sexy pick, but it’s safe and will bring the Chiefs much closer to being able to run the “30” front Pioli knows so well.
4. Seattle Seahawks (D) — OLB Aaron Curry, Wake Forest
The safest pick in the draft goes to the general manager, Tim Ruskell, with the track record of being arguably the most conservative of any decision maker in the NFL. After having unloaded Julian Peterson earlier in the offseason in exchange for Cory Redding, a vacancy was created for Curry to fill that could once again re-establish the Seahawks’ LB corps as the NFL’s best, much to the satisfaction of new head coach Jim Mora.
5. Cleveland Browns (D) — NT B.J. Raji, Boston College
Eric Mangini and George Kokinis have been quick to clean up the locker room, get rid of problems and malcontents and establish a new culture. They have already sent TE Kellen Winslow packing early in the offseason. Before the first round is over, WR Braylon Edward could be gone, too. DT Shaun Rogers may not be going anywhere, but he could be kicked outside to end, which would give the Browns a more dominant front with which to defend the run in a physical, smashmouth division where stopping the run is critical. With a roster open to trading, anything could happen in Cleveland, including a trade of QB Brady Quinn, but Raji provides the girth Mangini desires in the trenches.
6. Cincinnati Bengals — OLT Andre Smith, Alabama*
The top-rated tackle on the Bengals’ board, Smith could replace the aging, injury-prone Levi Jones and fill a pressing need, especially after Stacy Andrews slipped away in free agency. Smith may be immature and require some extra attention managing during the week, but his excellent feet, arm length and overall agility should allow him to start from Day One.
7. Oakland Raiders — WR Darrius Heyward-Bey, Maryland*
With Al Davis growing increasingly intrigued by WR Percy Harvin, there was some fear that the top of the draft could be shaken up, but Davis has never been fond of players with drug issues and he loves to take shots on big-time talent.
8. Jacksonville Jaguars (D) — RB Beanie Wells, Ohio State*
It’s difficult to overcome an average offensive line, but having the league’s most physical 1-2 backfield punch, capable of being their own blockers and creating their own holes, should make it difficult to stop the Jaguars’ offense. The Jaguars showed very early interest in trading down and desperately want to move this pick. The key is whether the Redskins can work out a deal to ship Jason Campbell to the Jets and receive trade value in return to make this pick happen. Dan Snyder will be the most aggressive getting what he wants, and Mark Sanchez likely becomes the new franchise quarterback in Washington. If the Jaguars cannot move this pick, they have to go with Virginia OLT Eugene Monroe here.
9. Green Bay Packers (D) — OT Eugene Monroe, Virginia
Passing Michael Crabtree could be awfully difficult for Ted Thompson, who has always valued the best talent over need, but with major questions on the offensive line, passing Monroe at this pick could be even more difficult.
10. San Francisco 49ers (D) — WR Michael Crabtree, Texas Tech*
The 49ers will be doing cartwheels if Crabtree falls to them, but character and injury concerns, and having never been timed in the 40-yard dash, could wind up costing Crabtree in this draft. If Crabtree is gone, the Niners could be even happier addressing their offensive line and kicking Joe Staley back over to the right side.
11. Buffalo Bills (D) — DE Aaron Maybin, Penn State*
The Bills need an end who can rush from either the right or the left side, and Maybin fits the bill and has as much upside as any pass rusher in the draft. He is a great fit for Perry Fewell’s defense.
12. Denver Broncos (U) — DE Brian Orakpo, Texas
The key for the Broncos is improving their front seven, which sorely lacks the parts needed to effectively run a “30” front. Orakpo can make an impact from the rush linebacker position and allow Denver to ship off some underachieving defensive ends picked by Mike Shanahan.
13. Washington Redskins (U) — QB Mark Sanchez, USC*
Owner Dan Snyder has invested too much time figuring out how to land a quarterback after a potential Jay Cutler deal slipped out of his hands at the last moment. Sanchez will not last until the 13th pick, but a creative owner will find a way to get what he wants, even if he has to mortgage the future to get up to the eighth or 10th pick.
14. New Orleans Saints — CB Malcolm Jenkins, Ohio State
The Saints need to improve their size at the CB position, and Jenkins has plenty of it. After years of being unable to find an elite cornerback, they finally land a great one.
15. Houston Texans (D) — OLB Brian Cushing, USC
Defensive coordinator Frank Bush craves speed and versatility at the LB position, and Cushing not only can play all three positions, he plays fast and leaves everything on the field.
16. San Diego Chargers (D) — LB Rey Maualuga, USC
In a game where the angles are shorter and there are fewer spread offenses, Maualuga will be less exposed playing in space. He plays the smashmouth brand of power football that Chargers GM A.J. Smith loves.
17. New York Jets (U) — WR Jeremy Maclin, Missouri*
Percy Harvin has gained a lot of momentum in New York, but with Maclin still available, the Jets have to make the safe pick and take the dynamic playmaker with far less risk.
18. Denver Broncos (from Chicago) — RB Knowshon Moreno, Georgia*
The Broncos have a lot of running backs, but they do not have a proven workhorse such as Moreno, who comes out of the tunnel screaming and will energize the offense and make a solid quarterback look much better.
19. Tampa Bay Buccaneers — QB Josh Freeman, Kansas State*
Raheem Morris coached Freeman at Kansas State and is very comfortable with Freeman’s work ethic. It could give him the Ben Roethlisberger that Mike Tomlin has on his roster.
20. Detroit Lions (from Dallas) (U, D) — OT Michael Oher, Mississippi
The Lions are open to go in a lot of different directions, but being able to provide protection for a franchise quarterback is paramount.
21. Philadelphia Eagles (D) — CB Vontae Davis, Illinois*
Adding an explosive cornerback could allow the Eagles to potentially deal Sheldon Brown on Draft Day and provide the size desired to match up with the big, physical receivers in the NFC East.
22. Minnesota Vikings (D) — WR Percy Harvin, Florida*
With questions at quarterback, the offense needs a big-time playmaker, and as long as owner Zygi Wilf signs off on Harvin, the Vikings will land an impact player who can make their offense dominant. Harvin can do what Brian Westbrook does for the Eagles and would be a force in an offense with Adrian Peterson.
23. New England Patriots (D, U) — TE Brandon Pettigrew, Oklahoma State
With Bill Belichick calling the offense, the TE position becomes even more critical. Pettigrew makes an average pair of offensive tackles much better and keeps Tom Brady clean in the pocket.
24. Atlanta Falcons (D) — DT Peria Jerry, Mississippi
Jerry has an excellent motor and can immediately upgrade the Falcons’ pass rush from the inside. A year after the Falcons passed on Glenn Dorsey, Jerry could turn out to be a much better solution inside.
25. Miami Dolphins — OLB Robert Ayers, Tennessee
If there were ever a good replacement for Joey Porter, Robert Ayers is it. He has the length, motor and versatility to make a difference in a “30” front.
26. Baltimore Ravens — CB Darius Butler, Connecticut
Value has a way of finding Ozzie Newsome, and even though he has more pressing needs, Butler would be a great fit for the Ravens’ defense.
27. Indianapolis — MLB James Laurinaitis, Ohio State
Bill Polian does not miss on many first-round picks, and he has proven that he loves Big 10-bred talent. Laurinaitis brings leadership to the Colts’ defense and starts for 10 years.
28. Buffalo Bills (from Carolina through Philadelphia) — OT Eben Britton, Arizona*
The Bills could look inside for a versatile interior player after giving up on Derrick Dockery, but Britton could help inside or outside and helps replace Jason Peters.
29. New York Giants (U) — WR Hakeem Nicks, North Carolina*
This pick could easily be part of a deal that results in Browns WR Braylon Edwards coming to New York, but if the Giants stay put, they need to find another weapon to replace the released Plaxico Burress.
30. Tennessee Titans (D) — DT Ziggy Hood, Missouri
With the top corners and receivers off the board, Hood could help provide the pass rush inside that Albert Haynesworth once did, and give new defensive coordinator Chuck Cecil more ammunition in the trenches.
31. Arizona Cardinals — RB Donald Brown, Connecticut*
With Edgerrin James expected to depart, the Cardinals need youth in the backfield, and Brown would be an excellent complement alongside Tim Hightower. Northern Illinois OLB-DE Larry English could also sneak into the first round at this spot.
32. Pittsburgh Steelers (U) — C Eric Wood, Louisville
The Steelers need to replace Justin Hartwig, and Wood has the size, smarts and strength desired in the middle to carry on the Steelers’ tradition. There’s a chance he will be gone before the Steelers pick and that they may aggressively make a move up for a cornerback.

Nawrocki killed it. Only guy who had Heyward-Bey to the Raiders.

Bob McGinn did very well this year as well.

Honestly, I stopped following Mayock when he gushed effusively about White. Any team drafting White in the first two rounds should have their GM fired immediately. Comparing him to ARE or Matt Jones is a joke. There is nothing extraordinarily special about White. He's not tall, not fast, doesn't have experience at WR, doesn't have experience with a pro-style system at QB, etc.

Gosselin and Narowcki though I have heard nothing but good things about.

Gosselin got a lot of props on sportsline.com
