1-16 17-32 2nd Round 3rd Round 4th Round 5th Round 6th Round 7th Round
98. Carolina Panthers- TE Jordan Cameron (USC)
Jeremy Shockey is not the long term answer at tight end for them. I’m not even sure he’s the short term answer. Jordan Cameron’s stock is on the rise and he could go in the 3rd round like Jimmy Graham, another former basketball player turned tight end, did last year. Graham went to New Orleans and backed up Jeremy Shockey for a year. Cameron could do the same this year.
99. Seattle Seahawks- OT Jah Reid (UCF)
More offensive line help for the Seahawks. Russell Okung is a stud young left tackle, but they need something opposite him. They were lost in pass protection when he was hurt last year.
100. Buffalo Bills- WR Tandon Doss (Indiana)
More help for Ryan Fitzpatrick. Lee Evans is at the point where his salary exceeds his production value so he could be cut. Steve Johnson is a solid #1 receiver, but they need something opposite him. James Hardy never panned out as a 2009 2nd round pick.
101. Cincinnati Bengals- RB DeMarco Murray (Oklahoma)
Cedric Benson is a free agent and after averaging 3.5 YPC and getting arrested in his contract year, he could easily not be brought back. Besides, Benson turns 29 mid season and is coming off of back to back 300+ carry seasons. Another back in the mix wouldn’t hurt even if they did bring him back, especially one with amazing pass catching ability like DeMarco Murray.
102. Cleveland Browns- OLB Quan Sturdivant (North Carolina)
There isn’t really anyone who stands out amongst Cleveland’s group of linebackers other than D’Qwell Jackson, who is a talented player, but injury prone. Sturdivant can play all 3 linebacker positions in Cleveland’s new 4-3 and he’s a good value at this point.
103. Arizona Cardinals- G John Moffitt (Wisconsin)
More offensive line help for a Cardinals offensive line that allowed 50 sacks last year.
104. Philadelphia Eagles- S Jaiquawn Jarrett (Temple)
Quintin Mikell is a free agent and it doesn’t look like he’ll be back. The Eagles have shown a lot of interest in Jarrett, a local kid and a rising prospect.
105. Houston Texans- S Deunta Williams (North Carolina)
The Texans are likely moving Glover Quin to free safety. In case that doesn’t work out, they add Williams here. Williams is a good prospect and would have been a 2nd round pick if it weren’t for some injury concerns. The Texans will take the risk here in the 4th, where he’s well worth it.
106. Minnesota Vikings- CB Kendric Burney (North Carolina)
Antoine Winfield is 34 this offseason. Cedric Griffin can’t stay healthy. Chris Cook disappointed as a rookie. They could definitely add another cornerback into the mix.
107. Detroit Lions- S DeAndre McDaniel (Clemson)
CC Brown started several games for them at safety. Yes, that CC Brown.
108. San Francisco 49ers- CB Richard Sherman (Stanford)
Nate Clements is overpaid, old, and injury prone. He will either be cut or take a pay cut and move to safety. Either way, they’ll need a new corner opposite Shawntae Spencer. Jim Harbaugh reaches right into San Francisco’s backyard and takes Sherman, who he coached at Stanford.
109. Tennessee Titans- WR Denarius Moore (Tennessee)
Teams that spend first rounders on quarterbacks often use their next pick on help for him. Moore gives them that. Kenny Britt has character problems. Nate Washington is best off in the slot, where he thrived in Pittsburgh. 2010 3rd round pick Damian Williams is still developing. Moore has the upside to become a starter for this team. He’s a risk, but the Titans like taking risks and Moore, who has amazing athleticism and dominated down the stretch last year for Tennessee, could be worth the risk.
110. Dallas Cowboys- RB Jordan Todman (Connecticut)
They have more pressing needs, but Marion Barber probably isn’t going to be back next year and Todman is way too good to pass on here. He could end up being the lead back that Felix Jones is having trouble becoming.
111. New England Patriots- RLB Ricky Elmore (Arizona)
This pick completes the trade where Miami moved up in the 2nd to take Colin Kaepernick. Elmore’s not the most athletic kid, but he’s productive, with 21 sacks in the last 2 years and he’s got a great motor. Elmore says it’s his life dream to play for the Patriots and that he worships Tedy Bruschi. The Patriots will love a player like him, needing help at rush linebacker where Tully Banta Cain led the way with a mere 5 sacks last year.
112. St. Louis Rams- TE DJ Williams (Arkansas)
The Rams need to bring in a true pass catching tight end for Sam Bradford. No, Michael Hoomanawanui doesn’t count, no matter how cool his last name is.
113. Oakland Raiders- C Kristofer O’Dowd (USC)
More help on the interior line for Raiders. They really need a new center.
114. Jacksonville Jaguars- OLB Ross Homan (Ohio State)
2 of their 3 starting linebackers from 2010 are free agents and even if both are resigned, Homan is a nice depth player with good versatility and a high motor kid who would thrive on special teams. He fits what the Jaguars look for in a player, strong motor, blue collar, productive in college.
115. San Francisco 49ers- NT Sione Fua (Stanford)
Jim Harbaugh grabs another Stanford kid. The 49ers might not be willing to give Aubrayo Franklin the contract he wants, so Fua is a backup plan and provides good depth at all 3 positions on their 3-4 line even if they do resign Franklin.
116. Tampa Bay Buccaneers- OLB Lawrence Wilson (Connecticut)
They’ll look for either one or two outside linebacker upgrades this offseason depending on how they feel about Dekoda Watson, a talented 7th round rookie who fits their scheme like a glove.
117. New York Giants- OLB KJ Wright (Mississippi State)
They went inside linebacker in the first and now they go outside linebacker. Wright can hopefully become the player they thought Clint Sintim would be when they drafted him in the 2nd round in 2009.
118. Kansas City Chiefs- S Tyler Sash (Iowa)
Eric Berry will be a starter at safety for a longtime, but they need a safety opposite him. Sash is a very good value at this point.
119. Indianapolis Colts- WR Vincent Brown (San Diego State)
The Colts normally only carry 5 wide receivers and they have 5 under contract for 2011, but Austin Collie and/or Anthony Gonzalez could be cut in Training Camp for health reasons. Besides, it might be in their best interest to carry a 6th receiver next year in case one or both of them get hurt again. Plus, Reggie Wayne is a free agent in 2012 and the two sides are far apart on any sort of long term deal for the soon to be 32 year old.
120. Philadelphia Eagles- OT Jason Pinkston (Pittsburgh)
How do you allow 50 sacks when Michael Vick is your quarterback? Pinkston can play right tackle or right guard for them, both of which are need positions.
121. Jacksonville Jaguars- S Ahmad Black (Florida)
More secondary help for the Jaguars. They need two new safeties this offseason and Gene Smith will like Black’s hustle and character.
122. Buffalo Bills- MLB Kelvin Sheppard (LSU)
They’re thin at the 3-4 middle linebacker spot and Sheppard provides good depth and a good value at this point.
123. Baltimore Ravens- MLB Nate Irving (NC State)
Ray Lewis will start to decline eventually…right…right…right. Besides, it’s not like they have had a consistent contributor next to him since Bart Scott followed Rex Ryan to New York.
124. Atlanta Falcons- RB Jacquizz Rodgers (Oregon State)
Michael Turner is getting up there in age so Rodgers helps take some of the load off of him. They have Jason Snelling as a backup, but he’s too similar to Turner to be a true compliment. Rodgers’s speed compliments Turner and Snelling well and gives them a big playmaker that their offense desperately needs. He also is a better pass catcher and a 3rd down back.
125. New England Patriots- G Justin Boren (Ohio State)
They have to draft a guard at some point. Logan Mankins isn’t resigned long term and Stephen Neal has retired. I don’t know if they can count on Dan Connolly for too long and Boren has the potential to become a future starter at guard out of the mid rounds, not an uncommon thing.
126. New York Jets- RLB Ugo Chinasa (Oklahoma State)
The Jets take their replacement for Jason Taylor here, in the form of the extremely athletic Ugo Chinasa. Rex Ryan might think he can coach the best out of Chinasa.
127. Chicago Bears- RB Kendall Hunter (Oklahoma State)
The Bears were at their best last year when they were a run heavy team. Having a backup that can average more than 2.4 yards per carry (Chester Taylor) to team up with Matt Forte would make their running attack even more powerful.
128. Pittsburgh Steelers- MLB Colin McCarthy (Miami)
James Farrior just turned 36 so the forward thinking Steelers will be looking at potential replacements in the 2011 NFL Draft.
129. Green Bay Packers- 3-4 DE Lawrence Guy (Arizona State)
They need some depth at 3-4 end. Johnny Jolly recently got arrested while he was already suspended indefinitely. Cullen Jenkins is likely gone as a free agent.
130. Tennessee Titans- C Jake Kirkpatrick (TCU)
The reason Chris Johnson “struggled” last year, by his standards, was not so much that he was tired from his 2000 yard season in 2009, but rather their poor interior blocking. They’ll look at centers and guards in the mid rounds, where you often can might solid guard and centers.
131. Green Bay Packers- CB DeMarcus Van Dyke (Miami)
Van Dyke doesn’t fill an obvious need for them, but they did start running out of cornerbacks against the Steelers and Charles Woodson won’t be around forever. Van Dyke represents best available for a team that loves best available.
