| #98) Carolina Panthers- Tandon Doss (WR Indiana) |
| Steve Smith is really the only offensive weapon Carolina has, and he is definitely on the downward trend, so they need to add a playmaker here. |
| #99) Seattle Seahawks- Shareece Wright (CB USC) |
| Marcus Trufant is solid, but beyond him, Seattle has no depth at corner. And Carroll I'm sure would love to pull the trigger on his former player. |
| #100) Buffalo Bills- Casey Matthews (ILB Oregon) |
| I think Casey Matthews is pretty overrated, but I think he will get over drafted based on his name, Buffalo needs an inside linebacker desperately and he is the best one left. |
| #101) Cincinnati Bengals- Deandre McDaniel (Safety Clemson) |
| After a fantastic Junior season, Deandre McDaniel was dreadful as a Senior. If he can revert to what he looked like as a Junior, Cincinnati will be getting a steal, but if he is what we saw as a Senior this will be a wasted pick. |
| #102) Cleveland Browns- Ricky Elmore (DE Arizona) |
| Cleveland's front office and coaching staff have made it very clear they want to upgrade the front 7, and here we have them taking the best 4-3 End left on the board. |
| #103) Arizona Cardinals- Lee Ziemba (OT Auburn) |
| Arizona's O-Line has been bad for a long time now. But with us projecting them to draft Will Rackley in the third, and Ziemba here, they should at least be a little more stable and have some added depth. |
| #104) Philadelphia Eagles- Colin McCarthy (OLB Miami) |
| Stewart Bradley is always hurt for Philly, and Ernie Sims has not worked out, so they really need to bring some linebackers in this offseason. Colin McCarthy is a workhorse who isn't flashy, but gets the job done and will be productive. |
| #105) Houston Texans- Jaiquan Jarrett (Safety Temple) |
| If Houston could ever get a respectable secondary, they might actually get over the hump. We have them taking CB/S Aaron Williams in the 2nd, and if they take another guy here like Jarrett, they make actually be able to stop some people. |
| #106) Minnesota Vikings- Nate Enderle (QB Idaho) |
| Everyone knows how bad Minnesota needs a QB, but the value just hasn't been there for the Vikings in any of their previous picks. But here Enderle is a great fit, and a great value. |
| #107) Detroit Lions- Mario Harvey (OLB Marshall) |
| Mario Harvey is a 250 Pound Linebacker who runs in the 4.4 range. Detroit has a huge hole at linebacker, and Harvey would be a good fit in Detroit's aggressive defensive scheme. |
| #108) San Francisco 49ers- Jerrel Jernigan (WR Troy) |
| We've got the Niners filling most of their holes on defense in the previous rounds of our mock, so here they can take another weapon to pair along with Michael Crabtree to help out their Quarterback situation. |
| #109) Tennessee Titans- Kendrick Ellis (DT Hampton) |
| Albert Haynesworth's vacancy has loomed large for the Titans has they have not been nearly the same defense since he left. Kendrick Ellis is a 6-5 340 Monster who is raw, but has a lot of upside. |
| #110) Dallas Cowboys- Derek Newton (OT Arkansas State) |
| Many have Dallas addressing the OT spot early in the draft, and while that could possibly happen, the scenario we have them in, has them getting much needed help in the secondary. They do need to address it at some point, and here Newton is the best OT left, and offers a lot of upside with a promising combo of size and athleticism. |
| #111) Miami Dolphins- Ricky Stanzi (QB Iowa) |
| I don't like Ricky Stanzi at all, but many people think he will be a solid player in the league. This isn't really a good value, but Miami needs to bring another guy into the fold to at least create some competition at the spot. |
| #112) St Louis Rams- Jordan Todman (RB Connecticut) |
| St. Louis is in the market for a secondary back to just take some of the load off of Stephen Jackson. I feel Bilal Powell is one of the more underrated players in this years draft, and will develop into a very good NFL Back. |
| #113) Oakland Raiders- Bilal Powell (RB Louisville) |
| McFadden and Bush are injury prone, and Powell presents an excellent value here. |
| #114) Jacksonville Jaguars- Buster Skrine (CB Chattanooga) |
| Jacksonville seems to like those smaller school guys, and since they need help at corner, this pick makes a lot of sense. |
| #115) San Francisco 49ers- Tyler Sash (Safety Iowa) |
| Taylor Mays did not impress at all last season, and there isn't a safety on the 'Niners roster that can be counted on, so they need to take one at some point, and Sash offers pretty good value here. |
| #116) Tampa Bay Buccaneers- Ross Homan (OLB Ohio State) |
| Barrett Ruud is solid for the Bucs on the inside, but their outside linebackers are not the greatest. Ross Homan seems like a great fit in their "Tampa-2" Defense. |
| #117) New York Giants- Jason Pinkston (Guard Pittsburgh) |
| We definitely foresee the Giants spending many of their picks this year on the offensive line, and Jason Pinkston makes sense here as a depth guy. Can be a rotational guy who can play Guard or possibly Right Tackle. |
| #118) Kansas City Chiefs- Ian Williams (NT Notre Dame) |
| This may seem to be a bit of a reach, but Kansas City has a huge hole at nose tackle, and need to address it. Williams is a huge guy who can eat up space and take on blockers, and should do a decent job for them. |
| #119) Indianapolis Colts- Lawrence Wilson (OLB Connecticut) |
| Indy almost always takes guys like Lawrence Wilson in the mid-to-late rounds of the draft. He is a perfect fit in their Cover-2 defense, and I think Wilson is a very underrated player, so this pick makes a lot of sense. |
| #120) Philadelphia Eagles- Daniel Thomas (RB Kansas State) |
| Lesean McCoy is excellent, but he just will not hold up if Philly continues to use him as much as they did last year. Daniel Thomas was a fantastic back in college, but just doesn't have enough speed. He will be a very good compliment to Shady though. |
| #121) Jacksonville Jaguars- K.J Wright (OLB Mississippi State) |
| Kirk Morrison was very good in his first season as a Jaguar last season, but the other 2 linebackers are nothing special. K.J Wright is a fit in the Jags defense and is the best OLB on the board. |
| #122) Buffalo Bills- Dwayne Harris (WR Eastern Carolina) |
| Buffalo is looking for a slot receiver with speed to stretch the field and demand attention, and Dwayne Harris would be an excellent fit. Pairing him with Stevie Johnson and Lee Evans, would give the Bills a pretty solid receiving core. |
| #123) Baltimore Ravens- Zach Hurd (Guard Connecticut) |
| Baltimore loves those massive interior lineman, and Zach Hurd fits the bill at 330. |
| #124) Atlanta Falcons- Chykie Brown (CB Texas) |
| Atlanta lacks depth at cornerback, and Chykie Brown is a steal here. |
| #125) New England Patriots- Ronald Johnson (WR U.S.C) |
| Ronald Johnson is exactly what the Patriots look for in their secondary receivers, and could wind up being a steal as he could really thrive in New England's offense. |
| #126) New York Jets- Austin Pettis (WR Boise State) |
| Santonio Holmes and Braylon Edwards are both free agents and may not return. I think Pettis is extremely underrated, and a steal here as somebody who just seems to come up with big plays game after game. |
| #127) Chicago Bears- Marcus Gilchrist (CB Clemson) |
| Chicago's cornerback play has been very up-and-down the past couple years, and they need to continue to add guys in there and hope a couple of them really step up. Gilchrist is a very smart, experienced corner who can play right away. |
| #128) Pittsburgh Steelers- Cedric Thornton (DE Southern Arkansas) |
| Cedric Thornton has a very intriguing combination of size and athleticism. He has the right size to play the 5 technique in their 3-4, and with some development, he could turn into a nice player. |
| #129) Green Bay Packers- Taiwan Jones (RB Eastern Washington) |
| James Starks looked really good down the stretch for the Packers, but hasn't done enough to be considered reliable. Ryan Grant suffered a nasty injury, and may not return as the same player. Taiwan Jones is a player not many know about, but he has really been flying up draft board lately as teams have gotten a better look at him. Could turn out to be a steal here if he can successfully make the transition from D-2. |
| #130) Tennessee Titans- Ugo Chinasa (DE Oklahoma State) |
| When the Titans are going good, their defensive line is creating pressure by themselves. Unfortunately for them, they haven't been doing a great job of that lately. Chinasa is a guy I really like, and I think could be a steal here late in the 4th. |
| #131) Carolina Panthers- Andrew Jackson (Guard Fresno State) |
| Carolina needs help in all areas, and in our scenario they haven't take an interior lineman yet. Andrew Jackson is the best guard on the board, and should be able to start for them right away. |
