Bengals Draft Depot

1st Round


1. St. Louis Rams: Sam Bradford,QB,Oklahoma

He's still most mocks number 1, Kiper has Clausen here and last year he was right on Tyson Jackson going 3rd to the Chiefs and no one else had that. I still think Bradford is the better player, his accuracy is excellent and he's a better athlete with better size.

2. Detroit Lions: Ndamukong Suh,DT,Nebraska

This guy has been the highest rated player on my big board all offseason. Jim Schwartz is a former D line coach and he's gonna take one of the top DT prospects in the last 30 years. There's no reason for Detroit to smokescreen as the Rams aren't gonna trade back and won't take a DT.

3. Tampa Bay Buccaneers: Gerald McCoy,DT,Oklahoma

He's been at number 2 on my big board the entire offseason. I basically have him just a shade below Suh, still an excellent prospect and his style of being a quick, penetrating tackle will be a good fit in the Bucs defense.

4. Washington Redskins: Trent Williams,OT,Oklahoma

Williams is a better fit in Shanahan's zone blocking scheme and you have to pick players that fit what you're trying to do. I'm not buying that football isn't that important to Williams, you don't get as good as he is without being totally dedicated.

5. Kansas City Chiefs: Russell Okung,OT,Oklahoma State

With Okung available he'll definitely be the pick here. I think if Washington takes Okung there could be some debate in KC between Berry or Bulaga I don't think they take Williams as he isn't as good of a fit in Todd Haley's scheme.

6. Seattle Seahawks: Bryan Bulaga,OT,Iowa

The Seahawks have 2 picks in the top 15, with their first I think they take one of the top 3 tackles. It just makes more sense to pay that kind of money to an OT vs a RB or WR or Safety even.

7. Cleveland Browns: Eric Berry,FS,Tennessee

Berry is the 3rd rated player and to get him 7th would be excellent value. There's rumors of Cleveland moving up to 1 to take Bradford and they have the ammo to do it and the O line for a rookie QB to succeed. I think they'll opt to wait til next year with a better pool of QB's to pick from.

8. Oakland Raiders: Anthony Davis,OT,Rutgers

Campbell could be the pick here but I think Al Davis will finally do the right thing and draft a player based on his ablility to play football instead of his ability to run a fast 40 and bench press a ton of weight. If he takes Campbell here after the Heyward-Bey fiasco he's mentally unfit to run a team and the NFL should step in.

9. Buffalo Bills: Jimmy Clausen,QB,Notre Dame

Clausen is the most NFL ready QB in this draft and Buffalo has to be tired of beating around the bush with Fitzpatrick and Edwards. They have some good WR's and RB's and their O line isn't completely terrible, it could use some help but there's plenty of O line depth available in this draft.

10. Jacksonville Jaguars: Derrick Morgan,DE,Georgia Tech

Morgan is the complete package at DE, an everydown player who can play the run and pass and has protypical size. He could to Seattle at 6 and if he doesn't I don't see the Jags passing on him. This is a key pick for who could be available for the Bengals as if this is the pick most likely the top 3 DE's will be gone before the Bengals pick.

11. Denver Broncos: Rolando McClain,LB,Alabama

I don't think Denver will take Dez Bryant with all the headaches they've been getting from Marshall. McClain is a safe pick who will flourish in a 3-4 and is a quality person and a natural born team leader who is fiery and vocal.

12. Miami Dolphins: Dan Williams,DT,Tennessee

NT is the most important position in a 3-4 and Ferguson is suspended for 8 games and is in his mid 30's. I keep thinking they could go Thomas or Bryant but I just see Parcells going with the higher valued position.

13. San Francisco 49ers: Kyle Wilson,CB,Boise State

The Niners secondary struggled last year and Wilson's stock keeps rising. I've had him as my top corner for a few weeks now and I think he's a better tackler,blitzer, and can cover just as well as Haden if not better.

14. Seattle Seahawks: CJ Spiller,RB,Clemson

Seattle has no one that is any good in their backfield and Pete Carroll is used to having an entire stable of top notch RB's. He's gonna start building one in this draft look for Seattle to take multiple RB's. Bryant could be picked here as well, but RB is way worse off than WR in Seattle.

15. New York Giants: Sean Weatherspoon,LB,Missouri

The Giants need help at LB in the worst way. Weatherspoon is a better fit in a 4-3 than Kindle in my opinion. This is a safe solid pick, they could also go DE as the Giants love to draft D lineman early and often and why not it won them a Super Bowl.

16. Tennessee Titans: Jason Pierre-Paul,DE,South Florida

JPP is a freak of nature in terms of his size and athletic ability. He's gonna be a good pass rusher immediately, but will be a project against the run which may cause the Titans to pass as they can't afford a situational player, but the Bengals can! In the end I still think he's the pick as the Titans do an excellent job developing D lineman.

17. San Francisco 49ers: Bruce Campbell,OT,Maryland

This guy is an athletic freak also and although his game tape is only average his measurables will make him tough to pass on this late, especially with the value of OT's and the glaring need at RT in San Francisco. The bad news could be if the Niners don't like him Earl Thomas could go here. But with already spending 1 pick in the secondary i doubt that happens.

18. Pittsburgh Steelers: Mike Iupati,OG,Idaho

The Steelers aren't gonna pass on the most dominant lineman in this draft, especially when Rooney just said they need to get back to smashmouth run the ball style football. Their O line has been a weakness for a few years now and they may need to run it if Rothlesburger keeps the raping up.

19. Atlanta Falcons: Brandon Graham,DE/OLB,Michigan

I'd love for the Bengals to have a shot at Graham, but Atlanta needs help with their pathetic pass rush and Graham is a dominating rusher. He owned Bulaga in the Iowa game who will likely be a top 6 pick.

20. Houston Texans: Joe Haden,CB,Florida

Corner is the Texans biggest need followed by RB. CB is way deeper so the wise move could be to take Matthews here, but Haden is far better value and some people's top corner. When you have Payton Manning in your division you better have some good cover guys.

21. Cincinnati Bengals: Dez Bryant,WR,Oklahoma State

That's right Bengals fans, both Bryant and Earl Thomas will be sitting there when the Bengals are on the clock and here's why. With Thomas every team that has a Safety need has other bigger needs elsewhere at positions of higher value. Bryant's divaness will scare some teams off but not the Bengals he's a top talent and will give us a trio of WR's that could have our offense explosive once again. Combine that with the 4th ranked defense returning all 11 starters and you have a Super Bowl contender.
Why Bryant over Thomas? If Thomas has fallen this far then Safeties obviously haven't been flying off the board and the teams with Safety need will all get a higher rated player and that means with Thomas falling back so will Safeties in the 2nd and Nate Allen,Morgan Burnett, and/or Reshad and Chad Jones will likely be available. That could also even make 1 or more available in the 3rd. I just think with the WR's problems last year and Bryant being as talented as he is that has to be the pick, Antonio Bryant is not a guaranteed quick fix.

22. New England Patriots: Jermaine Gresham,TE,Oklahoma

Wow how the mighty have fallen, New England could go into the season with their top receiving threat being......Julian Edelman! Moss is declining fast and Welker is not gonna be ready to start the season, and his playing style of cutting,starting and stopping, could never be the same. They have to get Brady some other playmakers and that's what Gresham will do.

23. Green Bay Packers: Charles Brown,OT,USC

Teams were killing GB off the edge last season and Rodgers was running for his life back there. They can't allow him to take another pounding like that this year. Pouncey is probably a better lineman but they need Tackles more than interior lineman.

24. Philadelphia Eagles: Sergio Kindle,DE/OLB,Texas

The Eagles pass rush wasn't very good last year and Kindle is a guy that will fit into that scheme of blitzing and getting after the QB, plus he represents excellent value here he could go as high as 11th. CB could also be a pick but the Eagles have an early 2nd round pick and I think they wait.

25. Baltimore Ravens: Jared Odrick,DE,Penn State

Rumor has it the Ravens are extremely high on Odrick and they probably are. He plays with a motor that doesn't stop and unfortunately for Palmer will fit in good with the Ravens defensive personality.

26. Arizona Cardinals: Demaryius Thomas,WR,Georgia Tech

The Cards lost Boldin so what do they do? Go get a bigger faster version of him. He's still a little raw but with Breaston and Fitzgerald there he won't have to be a big factor his rookie year and will get to learn from one of the best WR's in the game.

27. Dallas Cowboys: Earl Thomas,FS,Texas

There's probably no way Thomas falls this far, but when I go through the draft I just see that the teams that would be interested have bigger needs at higher valued positions. Safeties do slide some years and with the NFL becoming pass happy you wouldn't expect it this year, but teams like to beef up front in the 1st so Dallas gets a freaking steal.

28. San Diego Chargers: Ryan Matthews,RB,Fresno State

The LT era is over and his hall of fame career has moved to New York not without a few jabs either. Sproles is the only quality RB in house and he can't handle a full workload. Matthews will add a good mix of power with Sproles speed.

29. New York Jets: Taylor Mays,SS,USC

Kerry Rhodes got ran out of town and Rex Ryan is egotistic enough to think he'll be able to turn Mays raw ability into a pro bowl Safety. Mays has the work ethic to do so and his lack of coverage ability will be covered up by the corners in New York.

30. Minnesota Vikings: Maurkice Pouncey,OG/OC,Florida

This will be a steal as well and the Vikings running game wasn't quite up to par last year. With AP on your team an O lineman should be taken early every draft.

31. Indianapolis Colts: Everson Griffen,DE,USC

The Colts need DE depth, look at the 2nd half of the Super Bowl. Plus Mathis' contract is up after next year and Polian will be able to use this pick as leverage in negotiations.

32. New Orleans Saints: Brian Price,DT,UCLA

Price has had a terrible offseason but he was the Pac 10 Defensive Player of the Year. His game film has to count for something and the Saints need his pass rush ability up front. Price and Ellis could make an excellent DT duo.


2nd Round


33. Rams: Arrelious Benn,WR,Illinois

The Rams need some weapons to go with their new franchise QB. I could see them taking multiple WR's in this draft or a WR and TE.

34. Lions: Roger Saffold,OT,Indiana

The Lions decision to take Suh instead of an OT will pay off as they will get a good one at the top of the 2nd anyway.

35. Buccaneers: Kareem Jackson,CB,Alabama

WR is a big need for Tampa but so is corner and Jackson will be too good of value at this spot and Tampa has another 2nd round pick.

36. Chiefs: Terrance Cody,DT,Alabama

NT is the most important position in a 3-4 defense and the Chiefs don't have one. Cody is a massive run stopper who will command double teams regularly.

37. Eagles: Devin McCourtey,CB,Rutgers

The Eagles recently traded Sheldon Brown and will be in the market for a CB early in the draft. The McNabb trade made that possible and the Eagles get a 1st round talent at CB.

38. Browns: Colt McCoy,QB,Texas

Another QB has his career ruined by being drafted by the Browns. All kidding aside the Browns are high on McCoy and their current QB's are backup quality.

39. Raiders: Linval Joseph,DT,East Carolina

Al Davis won't be able to pass on someone Joseph's size that can run a 40 in under 5.0 seconds. The Raiders are already good against the pass this will help them become a complete defense.

40. Chargers: Cam Thomas,DT,North Carolina

Early 2nd is when the NT's will start flying off the board. It's a huge need for SD and there's more natural NT's in this draft than any draft before.

41. Bills: Jared Veldheer,OT,Hillsdale

This is a bit of a reach, but OT's always go early and fly off the board. Plus with the Bills getting Clausen they need to get the best OT available.

42. Buccaneers: Golden Tate,WR,Notre Dame

The Bucs have no one at WR after the Bengals signed Antonio Bryant. Tate is the next best WR no matter his height and I believe will be a steal this far in the 2nd.

43. Dolphins: Brandon LaFell,WR,LSU

This pick will either be LaFell or Nate Allen. Damian Williams is rated higher but the Dolphins will opt to go with the bigger WR.

44. Patriots: Jerry Hughes,OLB/DE,TCU

Belicheck loves taking the hybrid types in the 2nd round and Hughes will be a steal at this point. It seems this year all teams are benefitting from teams having other needs and players falling.

45. Broncos: Damian Williams,WR,USC

I think Marshall will end up getting trade draft weekend. The Broncos will cave and trade for a 2nd rounder as Marshall and McDaniels can't coexist.

46. Giants: LaMarr Houston,DT,Texas

I'd love for the Bengals to land this guy, but he's the type of versatile D lineman with length that the Giants love. Giants always take D lineman early and often.

47. Patriots: Jahvid Best,RB,California

The Patriots have been beating around the bush far too long on taking a RB early. With Faulk near the end and Maroney under producing Best will be a good fit and get early playing time.

48. Panthers: Carlos Dunlap,DE,Florida

The Panthers lost Julius Peppers to free agency and will replace him with one of the most talented DE's in this draft. If he plays up to his potential he'd be a steal here.

49. 49ers: Nate Allen,FS,South Florida

The Bengals hearts will be broken as Nate Allen is gone before they can get him. It's a need in SF and Allen combined with Wilson will turn their secondary into a strength.

50. Chiefs: Rob Gronkowski,TE,Arizona

If his back checks out he could be gone before this pick, but the Chiefs have a head coach that would throw it every play if he could and Gronkowski will provide a good target for Cassell.

51. Texans: Ben Tate,RB,Auburn

Steve Slaton is coming off neck surgery and isn't a bell cow type RB anyway. Tate is a big powerful back that will be a good mix with Slaton's quick shifty style.

52. Steelers: Eric Decker,WR,Minnesota

With the Steelers trading Santonio Holmes for basically nothing that opens up a spot for a WR. Decker will be good out of the slot with Ward and Wallace on the outside.

53. Patriots: Chris Cook,CB/FS,Virginia

This isn't a huge need for NE, but they love versatile players and Cook is great value as I've seen him mocked as high as 30th to Minnesota.

54. Bengals: Morgan Burnett,FS/SS,Georgia Tech

I'd like to have someone on one of the lines in the 1st two rounds, but Burnett is the better talent than anyone left on the line in my opinion. Another option could be Alualu, the DT from Cal, but he's the same type of player as Tank Johnson, but wouldn't be a bad pick as he'd provide depth. Anyway Burnett was a rover at Georgia Tech which is a mix between a FS and SS. His numbers were down this past season compared to his sophomore year, but it's because QB's weren't throwing in his direction anymore. That's as big as any stat when you take away an entire deep section of the field.

55. Eagles: Jon Asomoah,OG,Illinois

The Andrews experiment in Philly was a big mistake as both brothers are fat lazy pieces of crap in my opinion and I don't see why anyone would pay them that much neither have produced and Stacy said after letting so many sacks happen that if the game was close it wouldn't have happened so he basically admitted he wasn't giving 100% on the field.

56. Packers: Akwasi Owusu-Ansah,CB,IUP

I think this guy is gonna go alot higher than expected. The Packers have 2 corners on the plus side of 30 and one of them is coming off an ACL injury. Look for them to take more than 1 CB.

57. Ravens: Brandon Ghee,CB,Wake Forest

The Ravens were not good in the secondary last year and the defense had a down year overall. Look for them to fix that early in the draft.

58. Cardinals: Jamar Chaney,LB,Mississippi State

The Cards lost Karlos Dansby and need to find a replacement at ILB. Chaney has great speed and size for a middle LB.

59. Cowboys: JD Walton,OC/OG,Baylor

The Cowboys keep Walton in state as they need interior lineman and tackles. Walton can play either Guard or Center and is good value.

60. Seahawks: Tyson Alualu,DT,California

Alualu will be too good for Seattle to pass on this late in the 2nd round. They have alot of needs but DT is one of them.

61. Jets: Jason Worilds,OLB/DE,Virginia Tech

Rex Ryan loves to blitz and Worilds has elite speed for his position and will really be able to get after the QB coming off the edge.

62. Vikings: Patrick Robinson,CB,Florida State

The Vikings are old and often injured at corner. They need to upgrade if they want to beat the Saints and that explosive passing game.

63. Colts: John Jerry,OG,Ole Miss

The Colts need to get some boost in their run blocking. Jerry is huge and a mauler in the running game.

64. Saints: Navarro Bowman,OLB,Penn State

The Saints let Fujita go to Cleveland and will need to find a replacement at OLB. Bowman is a great fit in a 4-3 and with the Saints upgrades on D they could find themselves back in the Super Bowl.


3rd Round


65. Rams: Aaron Hernandez,TE,Florida

The Rams add another receiving threat for Bradford. There's some quality D lineman still on the board, but I think the Rams will wait and see if their top 5 picks there develop.

66. Lions: Jonathon Dwyer,RB,Georgia Tech

I think Detroit will be a perfect fit for Dwyer as he'll be a situational back and won't have to take on a big workload.

67. Buccaneers: Dekoda Watson,LB,Florida State

The Bucs add another young defensive player giving them one on every level. They will have a bright future on D if they get these 3 players on defense: Watson,McCoy, and Jackson.

68. Chiefs: Carlton Mitchell,WR,South Florida

Mitchell may take a year or two to develop, but I don't think the Chiefs are in win now mode honestly so they have the time to develop a WR with excellent size and speed.

69. Raiders: Geno Atkins,DT,Georgia

The Raiders have already taken a DT, but Atkins value is too good to pass up at this spot and he could also play the other end spot across from Seymour.

70. Eagles: Chad Jones,SS,LSU

The Eagles most likely will take a Safety in the first 3 rounds. Jones is a good value pick and will be brought in to take over for one of their older Safeties.

71. Browns: Mardy Gilyard,WR,Cincinnati

Gilyard stays in state as a team with the worst group of WR's in the NFL takes him. It's been reported that the Browns won't take Bryant and they'll likely go defense the first 2 rounds.

72. Bills: Torell Troup,DT,Central Florida

The Bills are converting to a 3-4 and don't have a true NT. With 3 of them going off the board right before their pick in the 2nd they opt to wait until the 3rd and take Troup.

73. Dolphins: Reshad Jones,FS,Georgia

The Phins strategy to wait until the 3rd for a Safety pays off as Jones, a 2nd round talent, is available to them. Williams,LaFell,and Jones would be an excellent draft for Miami getting great value and also filling their major needs.

74. Jaguars: Tim Tebow,QB,Florida

Will Tim Tebow make it to this pick, probably not. But the Jags will have to package it with something else and move into the 2nd. They have to land Tebow in this draft.

75. Bears: Major Wright,FS,Florida

The Bears aren't getting production out of their current Safeties. Wright has alot of upside and may have been a 1st rounder next year had he stayed in school one more year.

76. Giants: Brandon Spikes,LB,Florida

This will allow Weatherspoon to stay outside at his natural position, rookies succeed a bigger percentage of the time when they are left at the same spot as in college.

77. Titans: Amari Spievey,CB,Iowa

The Titans pass defense struggled big time as they couldn't cover or pressure the QB. Pierre-Paul takes care of the pass rush and Spievey will help in the coverage.

78. Panthers: Daryl Washington,LB,TCU

Washington is rated higher than this but after watching his tape I have a hard time seeing where he's gonna fit either outside or inside. That may cause him to fall some.

79. 49ers: Koa Misi,OLB/DE,Utah

Not the biggest need for the Niners but he's too good of value for Singletary to pass on at this point in the draft. Misi,Thomas, and Wilson will give SF a bright future on defense.

80. Broncos: Mitch Petrus,OG,Arkansas

The Broncos interior line was awful last year. With a 1st round RB in house they need to get some blocking on the interior to go with the elite Tackles they have.

81. Texans: Perrish Cox,CB,Oklahoma State

Cox was once considered by some the 2nd best corner in this draft. The Texans could form an excellent young duo at corner with Cox and Haden which could pay off with Manning in their division.

82. Steelers: Dominique Franks,CB,Oklahoma

The Steelers currently have quite a few needs after trading Holmes and will be unable to fill one of them until the 3rd round. Corner is the deepest position of all their needs so I think they'll wait on that and take a Guard and WR in the first and second.

83. Falcons: Dexter McCluster,RB/WR,Ole Miss

The Senior Bowl was a long time ago and the McCluster hype has faded, but he could be a good fit in Atlanta. Providing a slot WR and a change of pace, quick and shifty RB.

84. Bengals: Anthony McCoy,TE,USC

McCoy hasn't received alot of hype, but if you watch his game tape he's an above average blocker and his receiving ablility is underrated. He has very good hands, can go up and get a ball, and has decent speed with an ablility to stretch the middle of the field. I'm very high on McCoy, and I don't know where people come up with he can't get seperation if you go to the tape I don't see that at all. I think people are making too big of a deal about the Bengals requesting Gresham,Dickerson, and Hernandez's medical reports. I think McCoy could come in day one and be the starter, coming from a pro style offense. If Coffman gets on the field this year they could form a sick double TE set, especially with Chad and Bryant on the outside. Plus they could run very well out of that formation and keep going with their unbalanced lines. If these two are together on the field no more double and triple teams for Chad unless they want to leave the middle of the field open, or let Benson run all over the place. And with Dez Bryant also drafted the Bengals offense would have endless possibilities, 3 WR sets, Double TE sets, 5 WR sets with Coffman split out wide.

85. Browns: Dorin Dickerson,TE/WR,Pittsburgh

I see Dickerson playing WR in Cleveland. They could take Andre Roberts here but he's a slot guy and they already have Gilyard. Dickerson gives them that big body on the outside with 4.4 speed.

86. Packers: Jerome Murphy,CB,South Florida

Murphy is the last of the CB's that I give 2nd round grades but happen to fall due to there being so many good corners. GB joins the Texans in grabbing 2 corners out of this rediculously deep class. With Woodson and Harris the Pack has the best group of corners in the NFL.

87. Eagles: AJ Edds,LB,Iowa

The Eagles add another LB on the outside as they had no one any good there heading into this draft. At minimum Edds will provide special teams value.

88. Cardinals: Dennis Pitta,TE,BYU

The Cards have needed a TE for years. Now with Boldin gone they can't overcome the fact they don't have a receiving threat at TE.

89. Cardinals: John Skelton,QB,Delaware

I doubt the Cards are as confident in Leinert as they are saying in the media. Skelton could end up being a Flacco clone.

90. Cowboys: Alex Carrington,DE/DT,Arkansas State

I think he'd be worth a 2nd round pick but most others don't so I'll go with him here in the 3rd. Jones is a smart owner who knows you need to be good up front to win.

91. Chargers: Mike Johnson,OG,Alabama

The Chargers struggled in run blocking last year, didn't you hear from Ladanian Tomlinson, it was all their fault he struggled.

92. Browns: Corey Wooten,DE,Northwestern

Most have a higher grade on Wooten, but when I go to the tape he just really didn't produce in a Big 10 that was down.

93. Vikings: Mike Neal,DT,Purdue

The Williamses are both getting up there in age, both are still productive, but Neal is a good interior pass rusher and can spell them on passing downs leaving them to stuff the run.

94. Colts: Montario Hardesty,RB,Tennessee

The Colts don't have a big,bruising, power style RB. Hardesty will give them that and someone to pick up those tough yards on 3rd and 1 and at the Goalline

95. Saints: Jermaine Cunningham,DE,Florida

Charles Grant is gone and the Saints need a replacement. They like to rush only 4 and sit back in coverage so they need some players that can get after the QB.

96. Bengals: Ricky Sapp,DE,Clemson

Sean Lee was gonna be the pick here, but to not take any lineman in the 1st 3 rounds would be a big mistake. Sapp will provide the Bengals another pass rusher and can give them the versatility to line up at DE or OLB. This will allow Zimmer to throw some 3-4 schemes at offenses, with Sapp and Micheal Johnson coming off the edge and Peko,Odom, and Geathers as the 3 down lineman. This will be a good change for the Bengals to have giving opposing offenses a whole different dimension to prepare for. That will be a big bonus with the schedule of explosive offenses the Bengals face this year. This would be a tremendous draft up to this point giving the Bengals two weapons for Palmer to throw to and two defenders to help against the pass with all the pass happy teams the Bengals play.

97. Titans: Andre Roberts,WR,The Citadel

I don't think Roberts will make it out of the 3rd round. He was the best WR at the Senior Bowl and will be at minimum a good slot WR and could turn into a legit number 2.

98. Falcons: Javier Arenas,CB,Alabama

The Falcons signed Dunta Robinson, but definitely still need corner help. Especially with the Saints in their division.


4th Round


99. Rams: Joe McKnight,RB,USC

Steven Jackson is one of the best players in the NFL, but even he can't continue to take the pounding he does. Adding McKnight gives them a change of pace and yet another offensive weapon. The Rams use this draft to build an offense after taking the top tackle last year. This draft will have the Rams landing some of the best college players in the country from major programs. St. Louis should be excited if the draft plays out like this.

100. Lions: Sean Lee,LB,Penn State

I think the injury ends up making Lee slide as he's unable to workout for any teams. I could definitely see someone taking a chance on him earlier, but if he falls here the Lions will grab him up after losing Foote.

101. Buccaneers: Austen Lane,DE,Murray State

Lane added with McCoy could provide the Bucs with an excellent pass rush out of their front 4 allowing them to sit back in that cover 2.

102. Chiefs: Daryl Stuckey,FS,Kansas

Safety is a need for the Chiefs even though they passed on Berry in the 1st. Stuckey is more than capable of being a good starter in the NFL.

103. Redskins: Al Woods,DT,LSU

There's still a chance the Redskins move Haynesworth as I don't think Shanahan likes him at all and I knew it was gonna be a mistake to pay him that much last year. He's just not a good person, really he's a scumbag who doesn't deserve what he's gettin paid.

104. Seahawks: Toby Gerhart,RB,Stanford

Seattle is going to need a power back to compliment Spiller and Carroll will take Gerhart if he's here to start building his stable of RB's.

105. Eagles: Tony Pike,QB,Cincinnati

With McNabb being traded the Eagles need to bring in a new young QB to develop so they can trade Kolb in 5 years and start the process over.

106. Raiders: Vladimir Ducasse,OG,UMass

I don't see Ducasse as a Tackle like some people do and if NFL teams see him strictly as a Guard his stock will fall. That could be good for Oakland who needs interior lineman.

107. Bills: Eric Norwood,OLB,South Carolina

The Bills need someone to play on the opposite side of their new 3-4 defense who can get after the QB. The Bills have so many needs it's gonna take a few drafts to be competitive.

108. Jaguars: Matt Tennant,OC,Boston College

Meester is not the player he used to be and they need to get someone in on the line to block for their only pro bowler MJD.

109. Bears: Marshall Newhouse,OG,TCU

The Bears run blocking was pathetic last year, Forte couldn't get any room. Bringing in Chester Taylor isn't gonna make a difference if the blocking doesn't get better and with the Bears not picking until the 3rd it's gonna be tough for them to improve very much.

110. Dolphins: Anthony Dixon,RB,Mississippi State

There's rumors that Ronnie Brown is on the trading block, they still have Ricky Williams and Dixon could learn behind him for a year before taking over.

111. Titans: Kevin Matthews,OC,Texas A&M

Kevin Mawae is too old, and although he's had a great career, it's over and it'd be a mistake for the Titans to keep him on the roster.

112. Panthers: Kyle Calloway,OT,Iowa

Calloway will be a good RT, especially in an offense that runs as much as the Panthers. This would be a great value pick.

113. 49ers: Taylor Price,WR,Ohio

The Niners need a viable deep threat on the outside to go with Crabtree. Price has one of the best size speed combos in the draft.

114. Broncos: Larry Asante,SS,Nebraska

Brian Dawkins is on the last leg of his career and with a starter that old depth is a must. Plus Asante will get to learn from an all pro.

115. Giants: Zane Beadles,OG,Utah

The Giants O line isn't what it was just a couple years ago. It's time to get some competition and youth in, especially on the interior.

116. Steelers: Pat Angerer,LB,Iowa

It'll be hard for the Steelers to make it this long without drafting someone in the front 7 on defense. Angerer will be good value here and provide depth.

117. Falcons: Jeff Owens,DT/DE,Georgia

I think Owens could be a good fit at DE in a 4-3, especially as a situational player on passing downs with his speed and quickness for his size.

118. Texans: Blair White,WR,Michigan State

I think White could provide to the Texans what Welker did for the Patriots. That underneath quick and shifty WR that keeps defenses from sitting back in coverage on Johnson.

119. Patriots: Jevan Snead,QB,Ole Miss

I think the Patriots will take a mid round QB to develop and trade in a few years for a 1st or 2nd round pick.

120. Bengals: Sergio Render,OG,Virginia Tech

Render has some durability concerns, but with his ablility to both drive people off the ball in the run game and be an above average pass protector the risk of injury is worth the pick in the 4th round. If he stays healthy he could end up being a pro bowl guard and a steal in the 4th round. My feeling is the more early picks on either line the better, really the more players drafted on the lines the better. There can never be too much depth or too many good players in the trenches with all the injuries that occur there, and if you're good up front you always have a chance to be a playoff team.

121. Eagles: Tony Washington,OT,Albeline Christian

The Eagles need to bring in some depth for Stacy Andrews at the RT position. Andy Reid loves drafting lineman and will like getting one this talented this late in the draft.

122. Packers: Brandon Carter,OG,Texas Tech

Carter isn't a very good run blocker but is an excellent pass blocker which GB needs to give Rodgers time to throw.

123. Cardinals: Jordan Shipley,WR,Texas

With Breaston moving to the number 2 WR spot the Cards will need someone to play in the slot. Shipley can come in and contribute there immediately. The Cards are gonna give whoever the QB is a ton of weapons in Thomas,Pitta, and Shipley.

124. Jets: Arthur Jones, DE/DT,Syracuse

Jones is a great value pick this late in the 4th round and the Jets are getting pretty old on the D line, some youth and depth must be brought in.

125. Cowboys: Thaddeus Gibson,DE/OLB,Ohio State

This is late for the first Buckeye to be coming off the board. Gibson will be a backup who can play on special teams.

126. Chargers: Jacoby Ford,WR,Clemson

Ford had the fastest 40 time at the combine and would be a change to the big tall WR's that SD currently has. He's a shifty,quick WR that can play in the slot.

127. Seahawks: Perry Riley,OLB,LSU

The Seahawks already have a good core of LB's but Riley is great value at this point and will contribute immediately on special teams.

128. Vikings: Jason Fox,OT,Miami

The Vikings struggled in their run blocking hence the down year for AP. Fox is a decent run blocker and he and Pouncey could form a nasty duo on the right side of the line.

129. Colts: Dan LeFevour,QB,Central Michagan

If I'm the Colts GM I have to realize Manning can't play forever and I want someone to groom and study under him as many years as possible.

130. Saints: Jimmy Graham,TE,Miami

Graham will need a year or two to develop and he'll be able to do that in NO with Shockey ahead of him. Graham has tremendous upside at 6-8 with good speed and hands.

131. Bengals: Ed Wang,OT,Virginia Tech

My saying is take lineman on both sides of the ball as early and often as possible. Bringing in Wang and Render will give the Bengals two lineman with some chemistry. This will also give the Bengals some of the best depth at tackle in the NFL. If you're good up front and deep on both sides of the ball you always have a chance to win. I'd predict if the Bengals keep 10 lineman both Virginia Tech players would make the team. The O line group could look something like this: Whitworth,Mathis,Livings,Cook,Williams,Smith,Luigs,Collins,Wang,Render, and Roland. That would mean one of those players wouldn't make the team, which is a good problem to have and I think Roland would be the odd man out, but could be kept as that 3rd TE for jumbo sets. Wang is an athletic tackle who would fit well with the Bengals sort of zone blocking scheme.
