49. Chicago Bears
- Massaquoi, Mohamed, WR Georgia
He's seen his stock soar in recent weeks. Massaquoi reminds me a lot of Jerricho Cotchery with his swift route running, soft hands, and good after the catch abilities. Massaquoi is not a finished product, but he could be a very good #2 wide receiver down the road. |
50. Tampa Bay Buccaneers
- McCoy, LeSean, RB Pittsburgh
The BROWNS are thrilled to find LeSean McCoy still available. With Jamal Lewis' age and injury concerns this pick should surprise nobody. McCoy has some serious potential and could be lethal in Cleveland if Eric Steinbech can stay healthy. |
51. Dallas Cowboys
- Mack, Alex, C California
Besides being a superb run blocker paving the way for Jahvid Best last season, Mack will probably be able to handle a shotgun snap unlike Andre Gurode, which should immediately qualify him as the pick here. Mack could go as high as 31st overall to Arizona, so the Cowboys should be thankful here. |
52. New York Jets
- Brown, Donald, RB Connecticut
Thomas Jones wants a new contract, and the Jets aren't likely to budge. Jones is probably in his final year in New York when you take his age and contract into mind, and is a likely cap casualty in 2010 (if the cap still remains, Jones can save the Jets up to $5,000,000). Brown is a very shifty runner with excellent size and field vision. He and Leon Washington, who will have a bigger role in the Jets offense (expect him to get an extension), could be an excellent tandem. My biggest concern with Brown is his consistency. He needs to be able to go from start to finish in a game without letting up. |
53. Philadelphia Eagles
- Dillard, Jarett, WR Rice
|
| The Eagles want Donovan McNabb to finish his career in Philadelphia and they are certainly making that a case. They've made it public their attempts to extend him, and bringing Jason Peters as his blindside protector was a nice gesture. If Philly adds Pettigrew and Dillard, it should seal the deal. DeSean Jackson is a great deep threat, but Dillard can be an all-around great receiver with his great hands, balance, and ability to catch the ball at the highest point. |
|
54. Minnesota Vikings
- Harvin, Percy, WR Florida
Harvin's character issues are causing him to fall on draft boards. While I don't think he deserves to go on the first day because of his small frame and position ambiguity, his speed will undoubtedly find him a niche. Still he's an enormous project to undertake. |
55. Atlanta Falcons
- Cook, Jared, TE South Carolina
Cook put up some really good numbers (37 catches for 573 yards and 3 TD's) in a very poor offense last season. While I'm not a fan of Steve Spurrier prospects, Cook's got incredible athleticism and is a very good blocker. Cook would be an excellent consolation prize for missing out on Pettigrew in the first. |
56. Miami Dolphins
- Harris, Victor, CB Virginia Tech
Harris is predominantly a man corner, and wherever he goes, that's what he's going to do. He's going to bump you at the line and play physical football. Coaches love players like Harris, and he fits Miami's man scheme well. |
57. Baltimore Ravens
- Nelson, Shawn, TE Southern Miss
Todd Heap's best days are behind him, and Shawn Nelson is a really stellar athlete and a coach's dream as Nelson loves to block and does it well. If Baltimore unlocks Nelson's talent, then Joe Flacco could have a plethora of weapons down the road. |
58. New England Patriots
- Urbik, Kraig, OG Wisconsin
Stephen Neal is pretty much near the end of his career with poor play and injuries derailing him. Urbik comes from a school with a great pedigree for offensive linemen and he's a savvy run blocker himself. |
59. Carolina Panthers
- Moore, D.J., CB Vanderbilt
The Panthers have got a surprising amount of needs for a team that went 12-4, but Moore is the best value here while he takes Richard Marshall's role at nickel corner. He may take over for Marshall if he walks next season. |
60. New York Giants
- Moore, William, S Missouri
Moore has been falling on draft boards, but it's not from lack of ability. Moore is not a disciplined safety. He takes horrible angles when he tackles, tries to lay the lumber way too much, and is overly aggressive in coverage leading to major mistakes.
In short, he's like Bob Sanders. The right coach should be able to mold Moore into an elite safety. Otherwise, he won't be anything more then Roy Williams. |
61. Indianapolis Colts
- Smith, Alphonso, CB Wake Forest
The Colts have got a couple of bigger needs, but Marlin Jackson tore knee ligaments last season. Smith is a phsyical corner who just lacks some size. |
62. Tennessee Titans
- Baker, Chris, DT Hampton
Baker played defensive end at Penn State, but beefed up and moved to tackle at Hampton. He beefed up so much he actually looks like a nose tackle in size at 6-foot-2 inches 326 pounds. He's almost exactly the same size as Casey Hampton. A 3-4 team will be tempted to take him, but ultimately he will go in the late 2nd to middle 3rd. |
63. Pittsburgh Steelers
- Caldwell, Antoine, C Alabama
This is actually pick 64, but regardless the Steelers take Caldwell who can play center or guard for them. He certainly can't play both at the same time, but the Steelers are in serious need of a versatile offensive linemen, and fortunately Caldwell can actually pass block. |
64. Arizona Cardinals
- Sintim, Clint, OLB Virginia
Clint Sintim is perfectly built to play the 3-4 OLB role. He had a great year last year in Virginia's 3-4 and he's already got the position down. He understands coverage, though he's only an average cover linebacker. He's going to be a major steal for the Cards at pick 63. |
