11. BUFFALO BILLS- DEVIN THOMAS WR MICHIGAN ST-No brainer right here. The Bills need someone opposite Lee Evans because Roscoe Parrish is no more than a return man. Thomas is a fast rising prospect and is an immense talent. Has the size (6'2 214lbs) and speed (4.40) to be a game changer.
12. DENVER BRONCOS-BRANDEN ALBERT OG VIRGINIA- A guard in college who projects as a tackle in the pros. This is the kind of versatility and talent that Denver needs because of their aging line. Mark Lepsis retired and a new talent must take his place. Great value right here as well.
13. CAROLINA PANTHERS- RYAN CLADY OT BOISE ST-Just what Carolina wanted. They are set at tackle but Clady could play inside at guard. They need his physical style because Carolina has lost a lot of edge in the last several years. Clady stabilizes a line that needs to protect the QB.
14. CHICAGO BEARS- JEFF OTAH OT PITTSBURGH- Da Bears continue the run on lineman by going with the enormous Otah. The Bears desperately need help in order to protect Rex Grossman but also to hopefully get Cedric Benson's career going because his first several years have been lackluster.
15. DETROIT LIONS- JEROD MAYO MLB TENNESSEE-There is a general consensus that the Lions need a MLB and Mayo fits the popular Tampa 2 defense that they run. Mayo is athletic, smart, and fits in well with OLB Ernie Sims.
16. ARIZONA CARDINALS-DOMINIQUE RODGERS-CROMARTIE TENN ST-The first small school guy is off the board. The Cardinals looked very hard at Rashard Mendenhall then realized secondary help is more important. The cousin of Antonio Cromartie hopes to provide the same impact that his Pro Bowl cousin has in SD.
17. KANSAS CITY CHIEFS (FROM MIN)-CHRIS WILLIAMS OT VANDERBILT- The key here is potential. Williams is full of it and at 6'6 and 315lbs this guy could put on more weight and retain his supreme athleticism. A possible steal here for KC who get their QB and OT of the future.
18. HOUSTON TEXANS-RASHARD MENDENHALL RB ILLINOIS- Matt Schaub, Andre Johnson, and who? They need a RB to really send this offense to the next level. Mendenhall is fast, strong, and explosive. He can be a fixture in the backfield for years to come and he also free up coverage on Johnson.
19. PHILADELPHIA EAGLES-DESEAN JACKSON WR CALIFORNIA-Donovan McNabb wants playmakers then he's got it. Jackson is small but he is fast and can stretch the field, which is what No. 5 really wants. This may be a bit early but the Eagles need speed and they will acquire another pick in the first several rounds because of their plan to trade Lito Shepard.
20. TAMPA BAY BUCCANEERS-AQIB TALIB CB KANSAS- Don't rule out a WR here but the need for defense is just as great. With Ronde Barber getting there in age it means that Tampa Bay will need some help in the secondary. They fill an immediate and future need with this pick.
