Free Agency Priorities Defensive End  Going into the draft, their two big needs were wide receiver and defensive end. They got their receiver in Julio Jones and now will look to free agency to add an end. They are a prime destination for free agents so they’ll be high on…

1-16 17-32 2nd Round 3rd Round 4th Round 5th Round 6th Round 7th Round   204. Green Bay Packers- TE Colin Franklin (Iowa State) When Jermichael Finley went down, they really didn’t have another pass catching tight end option. It’s not their biggest need, but they don’t have a lot of needs so I could see them…

  1-16 17-32 2nd Round 3rd Round 4th Round 5th Round 6th Round 7th Round   166. Carolina Panthers- CB Chykie Brown (Texas) Cornerback depth is needed and the athletic Brown could definitely develop into a great starter for this team in time. 167. Cincinnati Bengals- DE Pernell McPhee (Mississippi) They’ll need a backup plan in case…

  1-16 17-32 2nd Round 3rd Round 4th Round 5th Round 6th Round 7th Round   132. Carolina Panthers- Austin Pettis (Boise State) Steve Smith wants out. David Gettis and Brandon LaFell both flashed as rookies, but they were also very inconsistent. They’ll need to add another receiver into the mix. 133. Buffalo Bills- OT DeMarcus Love…

  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…

  1-16 17-32 2nd Round 3rd Round 4th Round 5th Round 6th Round 7th Round   65. Carolina Panthers- G Will Rackley (Lehigh) The Panthers will probably be looking offense here to build around Cam Newton. Rackley gives them a big upgrade inside at guard, but he can also play right tackle in a pinch, which is…

  1-16 17-32 2nd Round 3rd Round 4th Round 5th Round 6th Round 7th Round   33. Miami Dolphins- QB Colin Kaepernick (Nevada) Trade: New England receives pick 2-7 (510) and pick 4-14 (74) Miami receives pick 2-1 (580) Miami moves again, this time up, to secure Colin Kaepernick, leapfrogging Buffalo, Cincinnati, Arizona, and Denver, all who have shown…

  1-16 17-32 2nd Round 3rd Round 4th Round 5th Round 6th Round 7th Round   17. New England Patriots- OT Tyron Smith (USC) This will be a tough one between Tyron Smith and Cameron Jordan for the Patriots. I think they’d feel fortunate to have one or the other available at 17, but both are in…

  Lottery 15-30 2nd Round   15. Indiana Pacers- PF Marcus Morris (Kansas) The Pacers need athleticism inside and that’s exactly what Morris gives them. Tyler Hansbrough and Josh McRoberts aren’t cutting it at the position. Morris compliments them well. NBA Comparison: Al Harrington 16. Philadelphia 76ers- C Markieff Morris (Kansas)  Center…
