text: ROUND 1 1 Kansas City Chiefs-Luke Joeckel, OT, Texas A&M: For a team with a first year coach and a first year General Manager, the Chiefs have an extraordinary numbers of playmakers, such as Eric Berry, Justin Houston, Jamaal Charles, and Dwyane Bowe, on both sides of the ball. There is no good reason for the Chiefs to do anything but draft Joeckel, who can be plugged in right away in front of Donald Stephenson at right tackle. Joeckel proved to be the best offensive tackle, week after week, against the elite defenses of the SEC, the best in college football's toughest conference. Already possessing outstanding talent on both sides of the ball, unusual for a first year GM and coach, the Chiefs have no good reason to trade the best talent for numbers. By overpaying for Alex Smith, Coach Andy Reid, a respected evaluator of quarterbacks, has already passed judgment on Geno Smith as not a compelling prospect. 2 Jacksonville Jaguars-Shariff Floyd, DT, Florida There is a whole new team in Jacksonville, with first year general manager David Caldwell and first year coach Gus Bradley. Yet what remains the same is that nobody has any inkling who the Jaguars will draft, so tightly does the Jaguars management remain isolated from the local press. Drafting down, taking quarterback Geno Smith, tackle Eric Fisher, rushers Dion Jordan and Ezekial Ansah, and defensive tackle Star Lotulelei, are all still possibilities. What may decide for the Jaguars is that because they either draft first or second in every round they "can have their cake and eat it too," or get many of their top targets no matter who they draft first. Geno Smith can and will play quarterback in the National Football League, and he could instantly upgrade the position in Jacksonville. However, by hiring an extremely young management team, with both general manager and coach under age 40, new owner Shahid Khan has signaled that the Jaguars will be constructed slowly and methodically, and will have building blocks in place BEFORE deciding on a franchise quarterback. The safe pick would be Central Michigan tackle Eric Fisher, but Fisher's talents, however outstanding, are not unique. Good offensive tackles are available well into this draft. Oregon tweaner Dion Jordan has dominated the late draft season buzz, with CBS Sports, for example, rating him the No. 1 prospect and many mocking him to the Jaguars with the second pick. But if you're going for potential why not go all the way with Ezekiel Ansah, the one true edge rusher in this draft? Otherwise, go with the most football ready rusher, Georgia linebacker Jarvis Jones. I believe the Jacksonville decision will come down to Floyd and Star Lotulelei because of their unusual combination of power and speed at defensive tackle. True, the Jaguars signed tackle Roy Miller over the winter, but he's really a nose tackle, and Tyson Alualu, although he led the team in sacks, is on the downhill side of his career. 3 Oakland Raiders— Star Lotulelei, DT, Utah: Trading for Matt Flynn, and his $5 million a year salary almost certainly precludes the Raiders, in one of the smaller markets, from throwing first round money too at quarterback Geno Smith of West Virginia. Of course, this being the unpredictable Raiders, even with the younger Davis being slightly less unpredictable than his flamboyant father, you are never sure what the organization will do. Yet the Raiders will love Lotulelei because he will cause such havoc in the visiting backfields. 4 Philadelphia Eagles—Eric Fisher, OT, Central Michigan: I think that first year Coach Chip Kelly will "react" to whichever player is available that he wants. My gut tells me he wants Star Lotulelei most to create a dynamic front in a new 3-4 defense. But he's gone here, so the Eagles shore up their dreadful (at least when so many have been injured) offensive line. At least the Philadelphia sportswriters will be relieved they won't have to struggle with spelling Lotulelei's name for the next decade. Popular sentimentality suggests Kelly will take his former Oregon standout, DE/OLB Dion Jordan, yet there is no evidence that once college coaches move to the NFL that they favor their former players. Business is business, after all. 5 Detroit Lions-Ezeckiel Ansah, DE, Brigham Young: It has been pretty much a given that the Lions will take the best pass rusher available since they lost Cliff Avril in free agency. There have been rumors of going to the offensive line first but the this draft is not deep, and no draft really is, in great pass rushers, and there is no point in not taking the player with the most upside, Ghana native Ansah, who has only played football for three years. 6 Cleveland Browns-Tyler Eifert, TE, Notre Dame: Having once considered trading up for Geno Smith, or trading back for Notre Dame's Tyler Eifert, the only tight end in this spectacle who can both block and catch, the Browns take the easy way out and take Eifert when he drops in their proverbial laps. Dee Milliner's name has been mentioned in connection with the Browns all winter and spring under the natural belief that the speedy Buster Skrine will not start for them at corner back in September. According to the drafting rules invented by ESPN or some bean counter in the NFL, you're not supposed to take a tight end this high. Who cares? Eifert is the best receiver in this draft, period. 7 Arizona Cardinals—Jonathan Cooper, OG, North Carolina: DJ Fluker, OT, Alabama: When the draft season began Fluker was falling into the second round. Then everyone woke up and remembered he played offensive tackle and, well you know, the good ones get drafted young, or something. New Cardinals Coach Bruce Arians has waxed confidence, many would say arrogance, about his quarterback situation since he took the reins in Arizona. Then he cut his starting incumbents Kevin Kolb, and later, John Skelton, signed veteran journeyman Drew Stanton, and it seemed obvious that he was bluffing. Arians got the last laugh, at least for now, by trading for veteran Carson Palmer, who still has the proverbial gun for an arm, and now will enjoy hooking up with Larry Fitzgerald. Protecting Palmer is another issue, so the Cardinals properly begin the process of creating some comfort in front of him with Fluker, who is allegedly not the best pass protector in this draft, but otherwise is a hell of a tackle. 8 Buffalo Bills-.Geno Smith, QB, West Virginia: The Bills gets their franchise quarterback by default. Kevin Kolb, cut by Arizona, as the nominal starter. The Bills were not good to begin with and were further devastated in free agency. They need help everywhere, except at running back, where CJ Spiller seems finally to be reaching his potential as an all purpose weapon. Many are mocking pass rushers Jarvis Jones, Dion Jordan or Barkevious Mingo here. Smith has been absurdly maligned and undervalued in this draft season. He may not be Andrew Luck, RGIII, Peyton Manning, or Tom Brady, but guess what, neither are the other starting 28 other NFL quarterbacks either. 9 New York Jets-Jarvis Jones, OLB, Georgia: Head Coach Rex Ryan's 3-4 defense is structured to get the most pass rush from his outside linebackers but that rush has disappeared in recent years. Ergo the Jets will draft the best outside rush linebacker, Jarvis Jones of Georgia, purported spinal stenosis and all. Given his druthers, I suspect Ryan (and new GM John Idzak) would draft Ezeckiel Ansah because not only could Ryan use Ansah at OLB, but also at DE; and in fact move him all over the place. A doctor recently asserted that Jones in fact never had spinal stenosis, a narrowing of the spine. Another OLB, Dion Jordan of Oregon, is not without medical issues either, still recovering from a torn labrum. Yet Jordan was a holy terror at the Combine despite the injury. Another rushing possibility is LSU's Barkevious Mingo, a workout warrior who under produced in the demanding Southeastern Conference. The conventional wisdom is that if Ansah and Jones (or Geno Smith) are not available, the Jets will take the safe option and draft can't miss offensive guard Chance Warmack of Alabama. The unconventional possibilities include reaching for Tyler Eifert, Alabama running back Eddie Lacy, or Tennessee receiver Cordarrelle Patterson. At the end of the day, there are a lot of great athletes in this draft. Right now, Jarvis Jones is the best football player. 10 Tennessee Titans- Bjoern Werner, DE, Florida State. The steady Werner will both bring a Ryan Kerrigan style pass rush and a talent for stopping the run. 11 San Diego Chargers-Lane Johnson, OT, Oklahoma: The Chargers, needing to rebuild the offensive line in an attempt to protect the still productive David Rivers, get Johnson after all. 12 Miami Dolphins-AJ Fluker, OT, Alabama. A month ago, everybody shoved Fluker into the second round. Then they remembered he played offensive tackle. 13 New York Jets-Cordarelle Patterson, WR, Tennessee; in trade with the Tampa Bay Bucs for Darrelle Revis. The Jets want a big play receiver in their new West Coast offense. They considered Tavon Austin and Tyler Eifert, but Eifert went to Cleveland and Patterson is sturdier than the smallish Austin. Last week, I would have suggested they would reach for Eddie Lacy here, but the Jets now seem determined to employ only speedy backs in a West Coast offense, at least that is the signal they seem to be sending out. Ryan in particular does not trust diminutive players, curbing the Jets enthusiasm for Austin. Patterson reportedly turned off some timid NFL employees with his effusive confidence but that is hardly something that is going to bother the equally effusive and confident Rex Ryan. The Jets simply didn't have receivers who could get open last season. 14 Carolina Panthers-Sheldon Richardson, DT, Mizzou: The young Richardson has a constant motor and a tough presence on the DL that will be a fun site this season in Charlotte. 15 New Orleans Saints—Dion Jordan, athlete, Oregon: Mr. Upside finds a home in the Big Easy and a tutor in Rob Ryan. Maybe the Saints will find Jordan a position to play on the field. 16 St. Louis Rams-Chance Warmack, OG, Alabama: With the addition of Jake Long at tackle, and now Warmack at guard, the Rams finally find a way to protect franchise quarterback Sam Bradford. And perhaps contend in the NFC West this autumn as well. 17 Pittsburgh Steelers-Matt Elam, SS, Florida: The aging Steelers could reload in a lot of places, including linebacker, but Elam is the best strong safety in the country and the best place to start. 18 Dallas Cowboys-Kenny Vaccaro, FS, Texas: The Cowboys need a playmaking free safety and Vacarro is rated as the top free safety, although not by me. The Cowboys might be better off taking an offensive lineman here, but with the best selections gone, you can't blame them for taking Vaccaro. 19 New York Giants-Jesse Williams, DT, Alabama: The Australian native is another in the long line of really good defensive tackles in this draft. The Giants D has been getting gouged against the run for years and GM Jerry Reese and Coach Tom Coughlin have seen enough. It ends with Williams up front, a tremendous athlete with tremendous upside, who naturally falls to the Giants, who live by the ancient adage that good things come to those who wait. 20 Chicago Bears-Manti Te'o, ILB, Notre Dame: The press has overreacted to the off field foibles of Te'o as much as they have to the alleged imperfections of Geno Smith. But the man with the phantom girlfriend is no phantom on the football field. Bears fans appropriately pointed out that even his 4.83 40 time at the combine was not bad for a middle linebacker. And he improved it with a 4.78 in his Notre Dame workout, not that far slower than Kevin Minter's vaunted time of 4.70. 21 Cincinnati Bengals-Eddie Lacy, RB, Alabama. Replacing tackle Andre Smith is their first priority. But no market developed for Smith so it looks as if the Bengals will be replacing Andre Smith with Andre Smith, for less money than Smith would appreciate putting towards his retirement, or mortgage, or whatever. Furthermore, the Bengals need a big time back to bring more balance to the offense. An offense that stalled in the playoff loss to the Texans last January. Lacy is recovering from a hamstring tear but not to worry, all Alabama running backs recover from leg injuries at this time of year. Last year it was Trent Richardson. 22 St. Louis Rams-Tavon Austin, WR/KR, West Virginia: The Rams need a big time kick returner and they need a big time, downfield receiver, with speed. In short, they need Tavon Austin. Job accomplished. 23 Minnesota Vikings-DeAndre Hopkins, WR/KR, Clemson: The loss of kick returner/wide receiver, Percy Harvin, was not replaced by wide receiver Greg Jennings. Therefore the Vikings take both a wide receiver in the draft and a kick returner, in the same body. 24 Indianapolis Colts- Dee Milliner, CB, Alabama: Every night a star falls from the sky and every year a star falls at the draft. This year it is Milliner, who is still recovering from shoulder surgery. 25 Minnesota Vikings-Alec Ogletree, ILB, Georgia. The Vikings need to rebuild their line backing corps. Selecting the athletic Ogletree is a good place to start. 26 Green Bay Packers-Desmond Trufant, CB, Washington: The Packers do have secondary depth in an effort to replace Charles Woodson, but Loyce Means, recently of the Canadian Football League, is not the answer. Trufant should be a successful pro for many years. 27 Houston Texans- Barkevious Mingo, DE/OLB, LSU. This is not really what the Texans had in mind in their war room, where kicker returner/receivers such as Tavon Austin, Cordarrelle Patterson, and DeAndre Hopkins were penciled in red. Their displacement by other teams however, prompts the Texans to address their line backing needs first, and the athletic Barkevious Mingo falls right into their laps. Unfortunately, they will probably now need separate draft picks to address receiver and kick returner. 28 Denver Broncos-Jonathan Jenkins, DT, Georgia: The Broncos added offensive pieces over the winter by signing Wesley Welker but lost key rusher Elvis Dumervil through an administrative mistake in league rules. The Bronco front was soft to begin with and Jenkins is the quickest way to address that problem, all 346 pounds of him. 29 Philadelphia Eagles-EJ Manuel, QB, Florida State: The Jacksonville Jaguars are seeking a mobile quarterback to give them more of a threat in the red zone, particularly on short yardage situations in case Blaine Gabbert shocks them by proving capable of playing quarterback the rest of the time. The Eagles, on the other hand, badly want Manuel to be their every day quarterback, running Chip Kelly's read option. Therefore they trade up with New England, who is unsure who they want to draft, and would like an extra night to decide by trading away their first round pick. 30 Atlanta Falcons- Jonthan Banks, CB, Mississippi State: The Falcons did not trade for Darrelle Revis; They have to draft at least one playmaking corner or they are not going far into the playoffs this coming season. 31 San Francisco 49ers-Sylvester Williams, DT, North Carolina. The 49ers were all set to draft a first round receiver for the second straight year when the number rated prospect, Cal's Keenen Allen, ran a slow 40 time at his school day, to add to questions about his durability after he spent most of his senior year injured. I believe Allen takes a big tumble now in this draft. 32 Baltimore Ravens-Kevin Minter, ILB, LSU: the Ravens did a deceivably excellent job of restocking the defense after several Super Bowl heroes left for more money. They did not, however, replace Ray Lewis at middle linebacker, and Minter is the best option after Manti Te'o in this draft. ROUND 2 33. Jacksonville Jaguars—Darius Slay, CB, Mississippi State: The Jaguars begin a complete rebuilding of the franchise with the cornerback that meets their speed requirements, a 4.31 40 man. Do not be surprised if the Jaguars take Sam Montgomery, the productive defensive end from LSU. 34. San Francisco 49ers (from Chiefs)—Zach Ertz TE Stanford: No, the 49ers do not need to draft a No.2 tight end in the second round. It's a matter of quality. They have a ton of picks to address wide receiver and the secondary. To teach Ertz how to block so that he can develop into a dominant replacement for Vernon Davis. 35. New England Patriots-Blidi Wreh-Wilson, CB, UCONN; in trade with Philadelphia Eagles. The Patriots would have drafted Wreh-Wilson in the first round, so they get their man and an extra draft pick too. So Patriots! 36. Detroit Lions—DJ Hayden, CB, Houston: Having taken a flyer on the raw rusher Ezekiel Ansah in the first round, Head Coach Jim Swartz, a defensive guru, takes a chance on Houston corner DJ Hayden, less than a year after Hayden's serious vein injury. Hayden is judged to have the best mechanics of any corner in the draft. 37. Cincinnati Bengals-Terrance Williams, WR, Baylor: The Bengals find an outstanding receiving companion to AJ Green, and more offensive weapons. 38. Arizona Cardinals—Montee Ball, RB, Wisconsin. The Cardinals have not had a genuine running back since Edgarrin James. They do now. Damontre Moore, DE, Texas A&M: Arizona needs to replace pass rushers and the productive Moore could play either defensive end or his original position, outside linebacker. 39. New York Jets—Larry Warford, OG, Kentucky: The Jets begin to rebuild the porous right side of its offensive line. Warford looks ready to start on opening day. 40. Tennessee Titans—Jordan Poyer, CB Oregon State: The playmaking cornerback is just what the Titans need to both stop Andrew Luck and Matt Schaub in the AFC South, and put some excitement into the defense as well. 41. Buffalo Bills—Robert Woods, WR, USC: Woods is a reliable receiver who will both move the chains and stretch the field for Geno Smith. 42. Kansas City Chiefs--Terron Armstead, OT, Ark Pinebluff: With their pick for Branden Albert from Miami, the Chiefs construct a rookie offensive line with Luke Joeckel and Armstead. 43. Tampa Bay Buccaneers—Cornelius Carradine, DE, Florida State: Dominant before injury as a senior, Carradine has looked his old self at least in running recently. The Bucs take a flyer that Carradine can further his formerly dominant college play into the next level. 44. Carolina Panthers—Xavier Rhodes, CB, Florida State: Concerns about Rhodes' speed drop him into the second round. 45. San Diego Chargers—David Amerson, CB North Carolina St.: Scouts believe Amerson is still developing and will not reach his potential until his first Pro Bowl. 46. St. Louis Rams—Leveon Bell, RB, Michigan State: Bell's speed and pass catching ability opened up a lot of eyes at the Combine in Indianapolis. He's the kind of big, strong running back Jeff Fischer has employed in Eddie George in Tennesee and Stephen Jackson in St. Louis. 47. Dallas Cowboys—Justin Pugh, OG, OT, Syracuse: The versatile Pugh is perfect to fill in wherever the weak Cowboy offensive line needs him most. 48. Pittsburgh Steelers—Alex Okafor, OLB, Texas: Okafor dominated weak competition but struggled against quality in the Big 12. He could use developmental years learning his craft with the Steelers. 49. New York Giants— Jamar Taylor, CB, Boise State: Taylor is one of those quietly efficient defenders whose name does not appear much because he is shutting down his receivers. Injuries have weakened the Giants secondary. Taylor will add both quality and depth. 50. Chicago Bears—Arthur Brown, OLB, Kansas State: Many believe Brown is a first round talent. I don't. But he should be a first year starter for the Bears as they replace their linebackers. 51. Washington Redskins—D.J. Swearinger, FS, South Carolina: Swearinger was the best safety I saw all year. Whether he becomes one of the best in the NFL remains to be seen. Yet the Redskins are correct to start rebuilding their secondary with him. 52. Minnesota Vikings—Sam Montgomery, DE, LSU: Montgomery could be one of the second round steals of this draft. Scouts don't like his mechanics, his stiff hips, and the 4.81 40 time he ran in Indianapolis. Yet he was more productive than his LSU teammate who makes scouts drool: Barkevious Mingo. 53. Cincinnati Bengals—Manelik Watson, OT, Florida State: Even with Andre Smith back in the fold, Watson has too much potential to ignore and therefore is the perfect developmental project, having played football only a few years. 54. Miami Dolphins—Vance McDonald, TE, Rice: Somebody in the Dolphins' front office may already have figured out that last year's drafted tight end, Michael Egnew, is really a tall slot receiver pretending to be a tight end. This masquerade is uncovered by drafting the versatile McDonald, who may be a tall running back pretending to be a tight end, so numerous are the Rice graduate's skills. 55. Green Bay Packers—Datone Jones, DE, UCLA: Like Damontre Moore of Texas A&M, Jones became a star when he was moved from linebacker to defensive end. He should help the Packer's pass rush. 56. Seattle Seahawks—Kyle Long, OT, Oregon: Pete Carroll loves athletic playmakers and Howie Long's youngest, but most athletic, son, fits the bill. Besides, tackle James Carpenter has to prove he can come back from a major knee injury. 57. Houston Texans—Khaseem Greene, OLB, Rutgers: What the hell is going on in Houston? The Texans are a playoff team inching to the Super Bowl and yet its star defensive players keep leaving. Scouts love Greene and the Texans hope he lives up to the warm notices because they have to restock their line backing corps. 58. Denver Broncos—Corey Lemonier, OLB, Auburn: Lemonier has the eyes and ears of the NFL scouting community. Quietly, he has played below the buzz of the endless Auburn scandals and has the speed to be a star rusher in the NFL. The Broncos hope he will be a worthy successor to Elvis Dumervil. 59. New England Patriots—Phillip Thomas, FS, Fresno State: While everybody was spending the winter wondering where Geno Smith would go and whether Marcus Lattimore could recover from his knee injury, the Patriots were, of course, zoning in on the best talent. Thomas COULD be the best safety in this draft. He will probably help the Patriots immediately, at the very least. 60. Atlanta Falcons—Margus Hunt, DE, SMU: The raw but big and powerful and fast Hunt lands in Atlanta. He could be a large force in getting them to the Super Bowl right away. 61. San Francisco 49ers— Eric Reid, FS, LSU: How did Reid land with the 49ers? Some scouts think he is the best free safety in the draft. Others think he is vastly overrated. The 49ers will put the question to a test right away. 62. Baltimore Ravens— Logan Ryan, CB, Rutgers: Quality always seems to define Ravens' GM Ozzie Newsome's draft picks. The Rutgers corner back is no different. He may be ROUND 3 63. Kansas City Chiefs—Jamie Collins, OLB Southern Miss: A Combine star in Indianapolis, Collins is raw and therefore the perfect candidate to be developed over time by a new regime in Kansas City. 64. Jacksonville Jaguars—Shawn Williams, SS, Georgia: Williams is big and strong and fast, a 4.42 40 man, and just the kind of safety the new Jaguars establishment wants to build around. If Darius Slay were to fall this far, the Jags could take him here. 65. Detroit Lions—Dwayne Gratz, CB UConn: For a team which went to the playoffs only two years ago, and allegedly rebuilding, the Lions sure have a lot of holes. The secondary is dreadful and the Lions hope Gratz is one of the answers. 66. Oakland Raiders—Matt Barkley, QB, USC: Nobody really believes Matt Flynn is the long term answer in Oakland, and taking time to develop Barkley, particularly his awful footwork, makes sense. 67. Philadelphia Eagles—Jonathan Hankins, DT, Ohio State: Hankins had one, good, dominant year in Columbus. Is he a one- year wonder or somebody who can anchor the Eagles' new 3-4 defense? He does not possess the kind of speed you usually associate with a Chip Kelly player, so he might be on a short leash: show us or you're gone. 68. Cleveland Browns—Alvin Bailey, OG, Arkansas: Many have mocked Bailey to the 4th round, but with Warmack and Warford off the board, he's the one remaining guard who can probably start right away, and therefore the Browns take a starter here in the 3rd. 69. Arizona Cardinals—David Bakhtiari, OT, Colorado: The cocky new regime in Arizona has declared itself very pleased with its present offensive line, which did improve late last season. They were not so pleased, however, that they would ignore a tackle/guard with so much potential upside as Bakhtiari. 70. Tennessee Titans— Sio Moore. OLB UConn: Moore's speed has moved him up draft boards since the season ended and he may be gone by this late in the third round. But if not, the Titans will grab him, thank you very much. 71. Buffalo Bills—Dallas Thomas, OT, Tennessee: Having selected a quarterback and a wide receiver, the Bills next move to shore up the offensive line. The quietly productive SEC lineman should start right away in Buffalo. 72. New York Jets—Oday Abouchi, ROT, Virginia: A Brooklyn native, Abouchi can play right or left tackle and, more importantly, can start right away, a requirement for the harried Jets offensive line. Some draft boards have moved Abouchi as far down as the 6th round, but the Jets will reach up and take him here. 73. Tampa Bay Buccaneers—Jordan Mills, RT, La Tech: Mills is a big project, but the new Bucs management is only in its second here, and has time. 74. San Francisco 49ers—TJ McDonald, FS, USC: McDonald has 49ers pedigree: his father played safety for them. He was also a big time player at USC. He has big time size, 6-3. Yet he isn't the fastest safety at 4.54 in the 40. Many think he can be an NFL star, a tall, rangy successor to Dashon Goldson. Others think he was a vastly over rated star on a vastly over rated USC team. 75. New Orleans Saints—Robert Alford, corner back, Southeastern Louisiana: Having cut Johnny Patrick, the Saints need a starting corner back. Alford is easily the best small school corner in this draft. His 4.34 40 speed doesn't hurt. 76. San Diego Chargers— Brandon Jenkins, OLB, Florida State: Jenkins was a first round player until his season ending injury. The Chargers hope he will return to form and potential. 77. Miami Dolphins—Tyrann Mathieu, CB, LSU: The Dolphins show faith that the "honey badger" can keep out of trouble in South Beach. He had a great combine and will probably become a good nickel back. His 5-9 stature is a concern. 78. St. Louis Rams—Sean Porter OLB Texas A&M: Quietly, Porter had an outstanding season for the Aggies. He's a hard hitter and Jeff Fischer will love his effort. 79. Pittsburgh Steelers—Markus Wheaton, WR, Oregon State: Scouts love Wheaton as a big play receiver. I'm not so convinced. I see him as more of a disciplined route runner. Yet he's reliable and can catch the ball. He could be both a downfield and safety option for Ben Roethisberger. 80. Dallas Cowboys—Giovani Bernard RB, North Carolina: Scouts love the productive Bernard. Many consider him the best running back in this draft. I don't, but my opinion does not count in Dallas. Only Jerry Jones's feelings matter. And Jones, a star running back in high school but a guard at Arkansas, listens to his scouts. 81. New York Giants—DeVonte Holloman, OLB, South Carolina. The Giants intended to draft Sean Porter but he went to St. Louis. Their best laid plans frustrated, they draft line backer DeVonte Holloman of South Carolina, a hard hitter 82. Miami Dolphins –John Simon, DE, Ohio State: Simon disappointed at the Combine and some scouts complain that he was sometimes out of position during Big Ten games, therefore Simon has fallen from a low first round pick, tumbling all the way to the third round. Yet he was a very productive Buckeye, and runs a 4.66 40, which is nothing to sneeze at. The Dolphins may get a steal. 83. Minnesota Vikings— Damontre Moore, DE, Texas A&M: The Vikings need to rebuild their pass rushers and linebackers. It is a long fall from the early first round for Moore, but he could play either defensive end or his original position, outside linebacker. 84. Cincinnati Bengals—Jonathan Cyprien, SS, Florida International: Two years ago, Cyprien's coach, Mario Cristobal, was a rising star, apparently on the way to leave Florida International and coach first Pitt and then Rutgers. Fired after last season, Cristobal is now an offensive line coach at Alabama. Cyprien has had a similar fall, rising into the first round on everybody's draft boards, tumbling at least to the second round, and in my mock, into the third. Scouts love Cyprien's athleticism, but his 4.66 speed is not extraordinary, and everybody is now trying to guess just how good he might be after a career in the Sunbelt conference. 85. Washington Redskins—Will Davis, CB, Utah State: The Redkins have a very simple philosophy in this draft: select defensive backs and after that take more defensive backs. 86. Indianapolis Colts—Justin Hunter, WR, Tennessee: Wow! How did this guy slip to the Colts, giving them yet another fine receiver? Good drafting, apparently. Or maybe Andrew's kind of luck. Yeah, a weak joke on the brink of draft day. 87. Seattle Seahawks—Brandon Williams, NT, Missouri State: Williams does not possess the speed the Seahawks prefer on defense but he is a tough, gritty, tackle, who will hold his own up front, and a worthy replacement for Alan Branch. 88. Green Bay Packers—Travis Frederick, C, Wisconsin. The Pack gets one of those great home state blockers. 89. Houston Texans— Brian Winters, OG, Kent State: Kent State went to the MAC championship game and a big reason was Winters. Most scouts think he can start right away. 90. Denver Broncos—Shamarko Thomas, SS, Syracuse: Small for a safety at 5-9, Thomas has nonetheless risen to the top of the charts with his coverage skills and 4.37 speed. Despite protestations to the contrary, the Broncos ARE considered about their safeties. 91. New England Patriots—Ryan Swope, WR, Texas A&M: I'm not sure why Swope is available in the 3rd round because he runs a 4.28 40 and he catches everything thrown to him. But if such an athlete is sitting here at this spot, you can bet the Patriots will take him. They have failed to draft a receiver who can get open for at least a decade. Swope may finally be their answer. 92. Atlanta Falcons—Cornelius Washington, OLB, DE, Georgia: Washington tore up the combine and perfectly meets the Falcons need for a speedy line backer who can also hit hard 93. San Francisco 49ers—Brian Schwenke, C, Cal: This is a value pick. The 49ers do not need a starting center, but they would like to develop one and Schwenke, as luck would have it, is one of the better ones in this draft. 94. Baltimore Ravens—Chase Thomas, OLB, Stanford: His 4.87 40 time (4.80 and 4.85 at his Stanford Pro Day) and 21 bench lifts, disturbs many scouts but the Ravens, in rebuilding their line backing group, will take his hard hitting production over those standardized testing numbers. 95. Houston Texans —Marquise Goodwin, WR/KR, Texas. No, the Texans do not end up with higher rated receivers/kick returners, such as Andre Hopkins, but the Olympic broad jumper with 4.21 40 speed will be a decent second option. Goodwin, like Tavon Austin, is smallish in stature, at 5-9. Yet many scouts see a lot of upside in Goodwin, who got lost in the offensive confusion at Texas. 96. Kansas City Chiefs --Chris Patton, WR, Louisiana Tech: With the failed played of Jonathan Baldwin, the Chiefs need a companion threat to Dwayne Bowe. The Chiefs may get more than that in Patton, who runs crisp routes, has excellent hands, and is rated a first round value by many talent evaluators. 97. Tennessee Titans –Brennan Williams, OT, North Carolina: A raw, athletic son of an NFL tackle, Williams missed most of his senior year with a knee injury. His upside, however, is huge, and if any two guys can tap that potential it is Head coach Mike Munchak and offensive line coach Bruce Matthews. ROUND FOUR 98. Jacksonville Jaguars—Jelani Jenkins, OLB, Florida: Jenkins is not the fastest linebacker in this draft, at 4.67 40 speed, but he may turn out to be the best. He's a play maker who always makes things happen around the ball, and he is perfect in the Jaguars new scheme where they want their linebackers to be multi taskers. Jenkins's style of play is remarkably similar to the veteran line backer the Jags signed in free agency from the Bears, Geno Hayes. 99. Kansas City Chiefs—Devin Taylor, DE, South Carolina: Taylor is very under rated and should be a solid force on the Chiefs' defensive line. His 4.65 40 time is 4th best of all defensive ends. 100. Oakland Raiders—Dion Sims, TE, Michigan State: Sims has overcome several injuries in his college career and runs with a limp. He has the size and catch catching ability to be first rate. He is a project. 101. Philadelphia Eagles –Ricky Wagner, OT, Wisconsin: Perhaps the most under rated tackle in the draft due to early season problems blocking for the run, Wagner is already a stalwart pass blocker, an absolute must in today's pass happy NFL, never mind a pass happy team to be such as the eagles. 102. Minnesota Vikings --Zeke Motta, FS Notre Dame: Last year the Vikings drafted Notre Dame safety Harrison Smith and he had a great rookie year. This year the Vikings draft Notre Dame safety Zeke Motta and hope for the same. 103. Arizona Cardinals—Travis Kelce, TE, Cincinnati: Kelce is a big moose of a man at 6-5, 255 pounds, and runs a 4.64 40. He is a work out warrior and the younger brother of the Philadelphia Eagles center. From Paul Newman's upper middle class neighborhood of Shaker Heights, in Cleveland, Kelce is more potential than accomplished tight end. 104. Cleveland Browns—Kenny Stills, WR, Oklahoma: Coming off major knee surgery a year ago, Still's health was a major concern to NFL scouts. Also of concern was the general failure, in recent years, of dominant Oklahoma receivers to succeed in the NFL. But Stills's 4.64, 40 time workouts, seems to have mollified scouts recently, and he is now considered the best value among receivers to be drafted in the middle rounds. 105. Buffalo Bills—Zaviar Gooden, OLB Missouri: The speedy Gooden was the OLB Combine star in Indianapolis, finishing first in the 40 at 4.46 seconds, first in bench reps with 30, first in the cone drill at 6.71 seconds and first in the shuttle at 4.18 seconds. He's young and raw but makes perfect sense on a team rebuilding at line backer. 106. New York Jets—Joe Kruger, DE, Utah: Kruger was dominant in Utah's bowl win and has been flying up draft boards since. The Jets need to replace Mike DeVito, a reliable tackler against the run. 107. Tennessee Titans—Chris Harper, WR, Kansas State: Harper is probably a reach in the fourth round, but the Titans are known for making middle to late round finds in pass receivers. 108. Carolina Panthers—Jordan Reed, WR, Florida: Reed is not the tight end many see him as, but he will be a good target for Cam Newton. He's essentially a wide out who has played tight end at Florida. 109. New Orleans Saints—Chase Thomas, OLB, Stanford: Thomas lacks ideal speed yet he is a crushing tackler with great instincts. Plus he's a smart player. 10. San Diego Chargers—Da'Rick Rogers, WR Tenn. Tech: Another product of Tennessee's bad boy years personified by former coach, Lane Kiffen, Rogers has a high upside in talent, if not so-called character issues. 111. Miami Dolphins—Joseph Randle, RB Oklahoma State: A star of the post season, Randle has performed well in various work outs. Resembles former Oklahoma State running back Kendall Hunter. 112. Tampa Bay Buccaneers— Montori Hughes, DT, Tennessee Martin. As they say affectionately, the man is a beast. The Bucs find a replacement for Roy Miller at nose tackle. 113. St. Louis Rams—Duke Williams, SS Nevada: A work out hero such as former Nevada line backer Dontay Moch, Williams needs to show he is more than potential. 114. Dallas Cowboys—Jordan Hill, DT, Penn State: As with all Penn State products, Hill is fundamentally sound, always a good addition in big D, where discipline is not always the byword. 115. Pittsburgh Steelers—Christine Michael, RB, Texas A&M: A fundamentally sound, hard-nosed runner who can block, Michael fits the Steelers mold. He has been a star of the post season and in demand by almost everybody in their mock drafts. 116. New York Giants—Kiko Alonso, ILB, Oregon: Like many of the Ducks recruited by chip Kelly, Alonso has a lot of speed and athletic upside. In addition, he is a very hard hitter and should start right away, even though it is against Tom Coughlin's religion to start rookies. 117. Chicago Bears—B.W. Webb, CB, William & Mary. Webb is in a long line of outstanding corners from William & Mary. He runs a 4.46 40 and will help the Bears immediately. 118. Cincinnati Bengals—Bacarri Rambo, FS, Georgia: The Bengals safeties are more quantity than quality and Rambo is a shot of quality. 119. Washington Redskins—Leon McFadden CB, San Diego State. The Skins secondary rebuilding continues with the highly regarded McFadden. 120. Minnesota Vikings—Lavar Edwards, DE LSU: Lost in the shuffle of Baton Rouge stars, Edwards could be among the better LSU performers in the NFL. 121. Indianapolis Colts—Brandon McGee, CB, Miami: McGee has the speed the Colts covet in their defensive players. He runs a blazing 4.37 40. A bit of a project, but McGee has a terrific upside. 122. Green Bay Packers—Michael Buchanan, DE, Illinois: Buchanan led the Big Ten in sacks, has starred at the Combine, and brings much needed rush power to the Pack. 123. Seattle Seahawks—Conner Vernon, WR, Duke: Vernon is more a finesse receiver than Percy Harvin, therefore he provides a balance and a replacement for Harvin when he's not playing due to one of his temper tantrums. 124. Houston Texans—Kevin Reddick, ILB, North Carolina: For a mediocre team, the North Carolina Tar heels surely produce a ton of top flight prospects. The 6th rated inside line backer in this draft, Reddick has 4.71 speed, essentially the same speed as the top rated inside man, Kevin Minter, who runs 4.70. 125. Denver Broncos—Stepfon Taylor, RB, Stanford: The Broncos roster is populated with experienced and oft-injured running backs such as Willis McGahee and Knowshon Moreno. Taylor, who is a pro style back who will get tough yards on the ground, is the perfect balance to Peyton Manning and his passing attack. 126. Tampa Bay Buccaneers —Zac Dysert QB Miami (OH): Quarterback Josh Freeman is in the last year of his rookie contract in Tampa Bay and the jury is out on whether he will return after that. 127. Atlanta Falcons—Bennie Logan, DT, LSU: On and on, the LSU talent continues. Perhaps the problem for Les Miles is that he has too many good players for only 22 positions. 128. San Francisco 49ers—Reid Fragel, OT, Ohio State: The 6 feet 8 inch Fragel is an athletic former tight end who has excited scouts in the latter days of the draft season. There is a reason when a Big Ten team goes 12-0 and one of them is that Fragel did a great job blocking upfront. 129. Baltimore Ravens—Tharold Simon, CB, LSU: At 6-4, Simon is one of the more intriguing corner prospects in this draft. With Baltimore, he will be given time to develop. 130. Baltimore Ravens –Josh Evans, FS, Florida. Evans is a steal here, particularly for the defending World champs. 131. San Francisco 49ers—Colbi Hamilton, WR, Arkansas: With 4.50 speed, Hamilton could be one of the surprises of this draft. And the 49ers need receivers badly who can run deep. 132. Detroit Lions-- Chris Faulk, OT LSU: With so much talent, a good number of LSU athletes have fallen under the draft radar. Yet scouts have had Faulk in their viewers all year long. He could be a very good pro and a best friend to Lions passer Mathew Stafford. 133. Atlanta Falcons—Ryan Otten, TE San Jose State: The Falcons are betting that the highly regarded Otten could replace Tony Gonzalez after this coming year. ROUND FIVE 134. Kansas City Chiefs—Nico Johnson, ILB, Alabama: How good is Nico Johnson? Nobody really seems to know and most either see him as a steal or a bust. Is he the consistent and disciplined leader of the Alabama defense who is a winner or an over rated player on a great team? 135. Jacksonville Jaguars—Xavier Nixon, ROT, Florida: Nixon had an up and down senior year at Florida, albeit against the best competition, almost every week, in the country. If Nixon can become grounded and consistent, he could become the starting tackle the Jags desperately need on their right side. 136. Philadelphia Eagles—William Gholston, DE, Michigan State: Gholston has come under severe criticism for not performing up to his alleged level of talent and natural size. One advantage is that he is basically a defensive tackle who played at defensive end in college, therefore providing flexibility to play in a rotation at either tackle or end in Eagles new 3-4 alignment. 137. Detroit Lions—Alec Lemon, WR, Syracuse: Lemon made a rapid rise up the draft boards after a productive career receiving the passes of Ryan Nassib at Syracuse. Probably more of a possession receiver in the mold of Syracuse's Hall of Fame end, Art Monk. 138. Seattle Seahawks—Larentee McCray, OLB, Florida: A lot of observers, not me, prefer McCray to Florida's other playmaking linebacker, Jelani Jenkins. Maybe Pete Carroll is one of them. 139. Cleveland Browns—Tyler Wilson, QB, Arkansas: Although Wilson had been projected as high as No. 8ver all, in the first round, to Buffalo, quarterback needy teams usually need everything else too. And therefore Wilson drops into the 5th round. 140. Arizona Cardinals—Trevardo Williams, OLB UConn: Williams is an unknown force to the fans but widely admired by the scouts. He could easily go as high as the third round. 141. New York Jets— Matt Scott, QB, Arizona: Scott appears to be in the sights of every team who needs a quarterback because he possesses both a strong arm and excellent mobility in getting away from a rush. The betting odds is on Scott going to Jacksonville earlier in this round, particularly because the Jets have already exhausted the quarterback budget, although they are apparently going to jettison Tim Tebow, and if they draft Scott, perhaps Mark Sanchez, despite the nasty salary cap hit that would involve. 142. Tennessee Titans—Hugh Thorton, OG, Illinois: Thorton has played both guard and tackle and therefore has been moving up draft boards as April 26 approached. 143. Buffalo Bills—J.C. Tretter, OG, Cornell: The Bills are presumably aware of Tretter who played not far from Buffalo in Ithica, New York. Tretter has seen a rapid rise up the draft charts and has held his own against players from higher level competition in the post season. 144. New Orleans Saints— Mike Glennon, QB, North Carolina State: Glennon has the strongest arm in this draft, and by a long shot, but he is wildly inconsistent and rather immobile. A couple of years studying under Drew Brees would be ideal conditions. And he is perfect for playing indoors with a dry field. 145. San Diego Chargers—David Bass, DE, Missouri Western State: A small school gem, Bass stands 6-4, weighs 262, and can bring the 40 speed in 4.74. Bass immediately improves the rebuilding Chargers pass rush. 146. Miami Dolphins—Tommy Bohanon, FB, Wake Forest: Bohanon was a star of the combine, particularly in the bench press. He would provide more protection for Ryan Tannenhill to throw and hopefully help open holes for Daniel Thomas and Lamar Miller. 147. Tampa Bay Buccaneers—Malliciah Goodman, DE, Clemson: Everyone always thought Goodman had the skill set to be superior rusher but his lack of production until this year has many wondering whether he lacks effort or was a one year wonder. 148. Carolina Panthers—Lonnie Pryor, FB, Florida State: Pryor was clearly the best all around fullback in college football this year, an excellent blocker, a good runner with speed, a good pass catcher. But in a league where fullbacks only block, Pryor's value falls drastically. With two outstanding runners, the Panthers could use Pryor as a blocker who is a useful safety valve for Cam Newton in receiving check down passes. 149. St. Louis Rams—Everettt Dawkins, DT, Florida State: Teams apparently believe Dawkins reached his potential during an outstanding college career. Even if that turns out to be true, Dawkins should be a good rotation man up front in the NFL. 150. Pittsburgh Steelers—Brandon McGee, OLB, Arizona State: With 4.68 speed, McGee could be a sleeper in the NFL. If so, the Steelers show again that they can evaluate talent. 151. Dallas Cowboys—Rod Sweeting, CB, Georgia Tech: All ACC, Sweeting is another outstanding prospect who is traveling under the proverbial radar. He also runs a 4.38 40. 152. New York Giants—Nick Kasa, TE, Colorado: Kasa is an outstanding tight end, now, period. Hopefully Tom Coughlin will loosen up enough to let Kasa play this year. 153. Chicago Bears—Khaled Holmes, OC, USC: I have to say that I am not a fan of Holmes. He began the draft season as one of the top centers, has cratered from there. 154. Washington Redskins—Sanders Commings, CB, Georgia. The Skins get an instant starter who many thought would land in Jacksonville. Commings's 4.41 speed is going to make the Fed Ex Field faithful happy. 155. Minnesota Vikings—Sean Renfree, QB, Duke: Renfree is an intriguing prospect with a nice arm, if with a soft touch. His biggest advantage over current starter Christian Ponder is that he is more mobile, if not strictly that much faster in 40 time. Renfree reminds me of Chad Pennington. Like Matt Barkley, he often throws off his wrong foot, so his mechanics need to be cleaned up. 156. Cincinnati Bengals—Ryan Nassib, QB, Syracuse: Is Andy Dalton really the future for the Bengals? If so, they still lack depth at quarterback. Some see Nassib going in the first round. I don't. He has a decent arm and poise. Just like Dalton. 157. San Francisco 49ers-Gerald Hodges, OLB, Penn State: Hodges is the typical Penn State linebacker. When he tackles runners, at the line, or in the open field, they go down. 158. Seattle Seahawks—Ty Powell, OLB, Harding. Powell is a playmaker with 4.60 40 speed. Pete Carroll's kind of guy. 159. Green Bay Packers—Braxston Cave, C, Notre Dame. The Pack gets a replacement center and a good one. 160. Houston Texans—Keith Pough, ILB, Howard: The Texans get a replacement, more or less, for Connor Barwin at linebacker. 161. Denver Broncos—Mychal Rivera, TE, Tennessee: The Broncos have used a lot of draft picks on tight ends recently and have struck out. They hope Rivera will finally be the real deal. 162. Washington Redskins - Tony Jefferson, FS, Oklahoma: Jefferson has the look of boom or bust. An outstanding safety much of the year, he seemed to run out of gas at season's end. Perhaps he has health issues? 163. Atlanta Falcons—Omoregie Uzzi, OG, Georgia Tech: Uzzi was a dominant ALL ACC guard, who single-handedly held the vastly superior talent on the Florida State defense at bay in the title game in Charlotte. There is no logical reason why he should go this low in the draft, but this is where everybody who writes these things publicly puts him. 164. San Francisco 49ers—Dustin Hopkins, K, Florida State: Every team who needs a kicker wants this Dallas native. The 49ers have the draft picks to get him. 165. Baltimore Ravens—Akeem Spence, DT, Illinois: Some see Spence going in the 4th round. In the 5th round, he's a bargain, and the kind the Ravens specialize in. 166. Miami Dolphins-Kenjon Barner, RB, Oregon: The Dolphins add running back depth and a kick returner at the same time. 167. Green Bay Packers- Etienne Sabino, OLB, Ohio State. Sabino brings Clay Mathews some help with his 4.71 speed. 168. Baltimore Ravens –Cody Davis, FS, Texas Tech: The Ravens get a speedy and rangy safety out of the west who was a workout star in the off season both at the Combine and at his Pro Day in Lubbock. Davis meets the modern requirements of the prototypical free safety, 6-2, and with a blinding 40 time of 4.41. ROUND SIX 170. Jacksonville Jaguars—Terry Hawthorne, CB, Illinois: Hawthorne's 4.31 40 speed is what the new Jaguars are looking for in their corners. 170. Kansas City Chiefs—Josh Boyd DE/DT, Mississippi State: Boyd is underrated and his ability to play both defensive tackle and end will provide Andy Reid's front line with flexibility. 171. Detroit Lions—Eric Martin, DE/OLB, Nebraska: Advertised as a special teams phenom, Martin has been literally running up draft boards with his 4.56 speed. The Lions need all the pass rushers they can find. 172. Oakland Raiders—Adrian Bushell, CB Louisville. The Raiders need help everywhere. Could they maybe draft seven times twice, sort of like baseball does now in their supplemental drafts for small market teams? The Raiders are a small market team, after all. 173. Cleveland Browns- Ciere Wood, RB, Notre Dame. Wood is a patient runner with 4.46 speed who can spell Trent Richardson during the Alabama star's frequent down time due to injuries. 174. Arizona Cardinals—Steve Williams, CB, Cal: Williams was a star at the Combine, burning a 4.34 40, and accomplishing a 10.8 broad jump and a 40.56 vertical. 175. Cleveland Browns—Aaron Mellette, WR, Elon: Perhaps the best of the small school receivers. 176. Arizona Cardinals—Kerwynn Williams, RB, Utah State: Williams was the running star of the bowl season, gaining 235 yards in the Famous Idaho Bowl. An excellent receiver, Williams possesses 4.44 speed. On the down side, he is 5-9 and basically can't block. 177. Buffalo Bills—John Lotulelei, OLB, UNLV: The Bills continue the rebuild of their line backing corps with the Vegas man from Hawaii. 178. New York Jets— Kwame Geathers, DT, Georgia: The Jets could not stop the run last year and need to replace nose tackle Po'uha anyway who they cut for salary cap reasons. Geathers has been ruled an underachiever by the scouts, but if anybody can inspire Geathers to play up to his potential it is Rex Ryan, who genuinely believes every defensive player he has a role in drafting is wonderful. 179. San Diego Chargers—Earl Watford, OG, James Madison: The new administration in San Diego continues to find pieces to protect David Rivers. 180. San Francisco 49ers —Roy Roundtree, WR, Michigan: Roundtree is small but is an excellent route runner. He can also return kicks. 181. Tampa Bay Buccaneers—Cris Jones, DT, Bowling Green. Jones is a veritable tackling machine although a different style than the true nose tackle Roy Miller, now departed to upstate Florida. 182. Carolina Panthers—Ace Sanders, WR/KR, South Carolina: Another weapon and a big play player for Cam Newton. 183. New Orleans Saints—Garrett Gilkey, OT, Childron State: Since New Orleans has been the stuff of feel good stories since the devastation of Hurricane Katrina, including their first Super Bowl Championship, it is appropriate that Gilkey, who overcame school yard bullies in his childhood, will go to the city of uplifting stories, although nine of them written by Faulkner or Tennessee Williams. 184. St. Louis Rams—Cory Grissom DT, South Florida: The improving Rams front line gets another piece. 185. Dallas Cowboys—Josh Johnson, CB, Purdue: The diminutive Johnson is an excellent cover guy, and an upgrade of youth in the Cowboy secondary. 186. Pittsburgh Steelers—Chris Cragg, TE, Arkansas. The fastest tight end in this draft, Cragg can spell Heath Miller and eventually replace him. 187. New York Giants—J.P. Lonergan, C, LSU: As usual, the Giants end up with the most fundamentally sound players. Lonergan is probably the best center in this draft. 188. Chicago Bears—Matt Furstenburg, TE, Maryland. Furstenburg has arrived from the bushes and is pushing up into the 6th round of the draft, which will take place Saturday. Teams like his 4.62 speed and another receiver who can get open for quarterback Jay Cutler will be most welcomes in Soldier Field in Chicago. 189. Minnesota Vikings—Latavius Murray, RB, Central Florida: The Vikings are looking for somebody with size to balance Adrian Peterson. Murray is 6-3 and 223. 190. Cincinnati Bengals—Marc Anthony CB, California: Appropriately, a player from Cal wins the Shakespeare award for this draft. Anthony hopes to praise the aging Bengal secondary, not bury it. 191. Washington Redskins—Zach Studfeld, TE, Nevada: The Skins get help for Fred Davis and a possible replacement if Davis continues to get into trouble off the field. 192. Indianapolis Colts—Andre Ellington, RB, Clemson: Ellington takes a mighty fall in the draft due to concerns about his size, 5-9, and his inconsistency. Yet he has potential to run with both power and speed. 193. Green Bay Packers—Micah Hyde, CB, Iowa: With 4.52 speed, Hyde is an average corner back, but for some illogical reason, he is everybody's favorite late round choice. The Packers will try to find out what the excitement is all about. 194. Seattle Seahawks—Jawan Jamison, RB, Rutgers: The little but productive back out of the Bolles School in Jacksonville gives Pete Carroll some depth in the backfield. 195. Houston Texans—Kyle Juszcyk, FB, Harvard: Juszcyk is a devastating blocker who Adrian Foster will love. He can also play tight end and the Texans need a tight end. 196. Tampa Bay Buccaneers—Josh Williams, DE, Kansas. The Bucs take a good but very underrated rusher from Kansas as they completely rebuild their defensive line. 197. Cincinnati Bengals—Vince Williams, ILB, Florida State: Many scouts decry Williams' lack of production at Florida State and believe that he looks the part of a linebacker but does not always play like one. The Bengals are trying to find out if Williams, who was spectacular at times, was merely overshadowed by so many other great players on the Noles defense. 198. Atlanta Falcons—A.J. Klein, ILB, Iowa State: Klein will be a bargain if the Falcons can get him this late in the draft. He is a deadly tackler and is in the sights of every team which needs a linebacker. 199. Baltimore Ravens —Tavarres King, WR. Georgia: King is speedy but raw. He could go higher than this or fall out of the draft altogether. 200. Baltimore Ravens—Jordan Rodgers, QB, Vanderbilt: The younger brother of Aaron Rodgers is not as fast a foot but he has a decent arm and is a very composed leader on the field. Just the thing a veteran, playoff bound team needs. 201. Houston Texans —Sheldon Price, CB, UCLA: The Texan management has seen Price play up close in a visit against the Houston Cougars and they will like his versatility. He could also return kicks and they badly need a kick returner. 202. Tennessee Titans —Anthony McCloud, DT, FSU: The retooling Titan line gets another piece. 203. Baltimore Ravens –TJ Moe, WR, Missouri: The Ravens need depth at wide receiver and they get a speedy one in Moe. 204. Kansas City Chiefs—Greg Reid, CB, Valdosta State: If he had not gotten into drug trouble at Florida State, Reid could very well have been a first or second round pick. If he can straighten out, he could be s star in Kansas City. 205. Oakland Raiders—Rodney Smith, WR, Florida State: The 6-5 Smith is all potential and could be a steal for the Raiders. He was a very productive red zone threat with the Noles. 206. Pittsburgh Steelers—Manase Foketi, OG, West Texas A&M: Don't let the small school experience fool you. Foketi may be good enough to start right away and if David Decastro does not recover from his injury by training camp Foketi could join the young and stout Steelers offensive line. ROUND SEVEN 207. Kansas City Chiefs—Robert Lester, SS, Alabama: Lester has been downgraded because he played with so much talent at Alabama. But with 4.54 speed, and standing 6-1 and weighing 220, the Chiefs may have a steal. 208. Jacksonville Jaguars—Ryan Griffen, QB, Tulane: Griffen worked out privately for the Jaguars last week. This week they draft him publicly. He stands 6-4, weighs 221, and has a major league arm. 209. Oakland Raiders—Quanterus Smith, DE, Western Kentucky: The nation's sack leader in 2012 has issues in stopping the run, but the Raiders will take a rusher wherever they can find one. 210. Philadelphia Eagles—Lane Taylor, OG, Oklahoma State: The Eagles have issues at guard and Taylor may be an answer. At 6-3, 324 pounds, he provided plenty of good protection for the Cowboys' trio of quarterbacks. 211. Detroit Lions—Adrian Bushnell, CB, Louisville: The Lions dreadful secondary needs plenty of help. 212. Philadelphia Eagles –Travis Johnson, OLB, San Jose State: With 31 career sacks and the WAC Defensive Player of the Year in 2012, Johnson should help rebuild the Eagles pass rush. 213. Minnesota Vikings —Brandon Sharpe, OLB, Syracuse: Sharpe had an excellent senior season and may just be tapping his potential. 214. Seattle Seahawks Justice Cunningham, TE, South Carolina: Cunningham did not get much action in Steve Spurrier's offense, but he was a star at the Combine. 215. New York Jets: Levine Toilolo, TE, Stanford: The Jets get their tight end and in a bargain as Toilolo, with a huge upside, but limited playing time, falls to New York. 216. Tennessee Titans—Michael Ford, RB, LSU: Ford saw limited playing time in LSU's crowded backfield, but has been coming on like gangbusters in post season workouts. 217. Miami Dolphins—Mike Edwards, CB, Hawaii: Edwards wowed scouts at his Pro Day by running a 4.42 40. The Cleveland native could follow Labron James to stardom in South Beach. 218. Tampa Bay Buccaneers—Demontre Hurst, CB, Oklahoma: With Darrelle Revis on board, Hurst will have a tutor. He's small but a warrior and a solid cover guy. At the very least, he will provide vital depth in the Tampa secondary. 219. Oakland Raiders –Luke Marquardt, OT, Azusa Pacific: The 6-9, 315 pound Marquardt is a man among boys and held his own against big school players. This guy can start for the Raiders in September. A real bargain in the 7th round. 220. Seattle Seahawks –Kapron Lewis-Moore, DT, Notre Dame. At 6-4 Lewis-Moore is a little thin for 298 pounds but wowed scouts with his speed and quickness at his pro day in South Bend. Pete Carroll will love his agility for a big man. 221. San Diego Chargers—Tyrone Goard, WR, Eastern Kentucky: The unknown Goard has gathered a lot of attention from teams looking for a late round receiver due to his productivity where he gathered in 24 career touchdowns and had 4 100 yard games. He's also 6-4, 205, and runs a 4.46 40. David Rivers may have a playmaker from the rough. 222. St. Louis Rams—Jawanza Starling, SS, USC: This Tallahassee, Florida native runs a 4.56 40 and has the size coaches now want in their strong safeties: 6-1, 202. 223. Pittsburgh Steelers—Bradley McDougald, FS, Kansas: McDougald is a little raw, but the Steelers need to get younger at safety and have the time to teach McDougald. 224. Miami Dolphins—Dan Molls, ILB, Toledo: Molls led the nation in tackles. 225. New York Giants— Stansly Maponga, OLB, TCU: Maponga's statistics declined this year because he was double and triple teamed. An injured ankle prevented him from showing off his skill set in the off season. But he's a rough, tough, tackler who has a nose for the ball. He should be one of the big surprises in this draft. 226. New England Patriots— Denard Robinson, RB/KR, Michigan: The lack of a true position pushes the versatile Robinson down the draft board. Yet the Patriots love versatility. Imagine a three quarterback formation for them in the red zone of Brady, Tebow, and Robinson. The Patriots have found their replacement for Danny Woodhead, and one who can throw the ball as well. 227. San Francisco 49ers --Uzoma Nwachukwu, WR, Texas A&M: Used mostly as a deep threat by the Aggies, Nwachukwu has drawn a lot of attention as a late round, deep threat, but his 4.50 speed is not unique and he is only 5-11, not ideal for an NFL receiver. 228. Washington Redskins—Mike Purcell, DT, Wyoming: Purcell held his own against the toughest competition in post season all star games. He's 6-3, 305, and runs well for a big man. Could be a huge help for Washington up front. 229. Minnesota Vikings—Steve Beaharnais, ILB, Rutgers: The Vikings are rebuilding their line backing crew and Beaharnais could be a big surprise. He had a very productive career playing alongside the much higher rated Khaseem Greene, yet since running 4.67 at his Pro Day he has really opened the eyes of scouts. 230. Indianapolis Colts—Zac Stacy, RB, Vanderbilt: The backfield is still a work in progress and the Colts need more weapons. Stacy could become the starter. He's built low to the ground at 5-9, and 216 pounds, yet he's an excellent pass blocker and productive runner. His pass blocking and 4.53 speed will be welcome help to Andrew Luck who got sacked and harassed a lot in his rookie year. Stacy wowed at the Combine with 27 bench presses and a 1-6 broad jump. On a Vandy team that rested near the bottom of the mighty SEC, Stacy scored 14 touchdowns and ran for 1193 yards. 231. Minnesota Vikings --Marquess Wilson, WR Washington State: Wilson quit the team after what appeared to be questionable treatment from the out of control pirate himself, Mike Leach. Wilson later recanted his charges of abuse against Leach but, given Leach's record, they seemed to have the ring of truth. In any case, Wilson is a good route runner who should have a place somewhere in the NFL. 232. Green Bay Packers—Joe Vellano, DT, Maryland. At 6-2, 306, Vellano is solid, not spectacular, but will be a helpful rotation player for the Packers up front. 233. Houston Texans—Mark Harrison, WR, Rutgers: Scouts love Harrison's size, 6-3, 231, and believe in his potential. He could be the long sought companion to Andre Johnson. 234. Denver Broncos—Alonzo Tweedy, SS, Virginia Tech: All polite excuses aside, the Broncos must fix their secondary. Tweedy has the idea size, 6-1, 197, to flag down any Hail Mary passes from Joe Flacco. And he has blazing speed, 4.40 in the 40. 235. New England Patriots—Dustin Harris, CB/KR, Texas A&M: Harris lacks ideal speed but is an excellent cover corner who was also the nation's leader in kick returns in 2012. With the new designated kick returner, Leon Washington, getting on in years, and Jeff Demps prioritizing track and field, Harris could be New England's regular return man. 236. Atlanta Falcons—Cameron Lawrence, OLB, Mississippi State: Falcons get a steady and productive young linebacker. 237. San Francisco 49ers— Zach Rogers, WR, Tennessee: Rogers has a huge upside if he can stay out of trouble. 238. Baltimore Ravens— Marcus Davis, WR Virginia Tech: Davis was a Combine star and has the speed the Ravens could use more of in their receivers. 239. Philadelphia Eagles —Ray Ray Armstrong, SS, Miami: Before getting caught up in the payoff scandal in Coral Gables, Armstrong was considered one of the top defensive back in the country. If he can get back to football, the Eagles could have a great bargain and another piece to building a new secondary. 240. Cincinnati Bengals —Derrick LeGrand, SS, Marshall: The Bengals continue to add quality to replace some of the quantity in theirs secondary. 241. Seattle Seahawks —David King, DE, Oklahoma: King brings to the Seahawks what they like: playmaking speed. At 6-4, and 275 pounds, he runs an impressive 4.70 40. 242. Seattle Seahawks –Jasper Collins, WR, Mount Union: If Cecil Shorts can start for the Jacksonville Jaguars, why not Collins for the Seahawks? The small college receiver has only average speed for a wide out, 4.49, but is a good route runner. And the Seahawks need to improve a very mediocre receiving corps. 243. Atlanta Falcons —Dayne Christ, QB, Kansas: The much traveled and formerly much heralded California kid has big time talent that he finally showed in post season All Star games. Matt Ryan needs a developing backup. 244. Atlanta Falcons —Don Jones, SS, Arkansas State: Jones has been on a lot of late round wish lists. The Falcons need help desperately in the secondary. 245. Detroit Lions-- Earl Wolff, SS, North Carolina State: Wolff has really fallen down draft boards but he could still win a job in the Lions new secondary. 246. San Francisco 49ers —Spencer Ware, RB, LSU: The rock solid Ware is 5-10, 228, and gets tough yards. A worthy spell or successor to Frank Gore. 247. Baltimore Ravens —Joe Madsen, C, West Virginia: How do you get the All Big 12 Center in the 7th round? Madsen is one of the forgotten guys in the draft but he's the kind of talent that seems to just drop in the proverbial laps of the Ravens. 248. Tennessee Titans —Mario Benavides, C, Louisville: Another outstanding center who dropped on boards because center is an underappreciated position. Benavides is undersized at 297 and why he probably dropped. But he can play in the NFL. 249. Atlanta Falcons —Theo Goins, OG, Central Florida: The overlooked guard from Conference USA may be the future guard the Falcons need. 250. Miami Dolphins —Kenny Tate, SS, OLB, Maryland: Tate is one of those guys with great size, 6-3, 231, who is more potential than player. Scouts have raved about him for years even though he has been injured and moved around in positions, from linebacker to safety. The Dolphins need help in the secondary and will try out his athleticism. 251. Cincinnati Bengals —LaAdrian Waddle, OT, Texas Tech: There is a reason that the Red Raiders are an offensive machine every year, and at 6-6, 321, Waddle can help protect Andy Dalton and open holes for Eddie Lacy. 252. San Francisco 49ers—Ray Polk, FS, Colorado: Polk is a brutal hitter who had one of the fastest 40 times for safeties at the Combine. He has fallen under the radar because he played on a terrible Colorado team. 253. New York Giants —Derrick Washington, RB, Tuskegee: Washington transferred from Missouri and teams like his size, 6-0, 226 pounds. He scored 14 touchdowns and ran for 1679 yards in his year at Tuskegee. He gives the Giants back some of the power running they lost when they released Brandon Jacobs last year. 254. Indianapolis Colts —Jordan Campbell, OLB, New Mexico Highlands: Somehow the Colts must replace Dwight Freeney. Campbell lacks Freeney's elite speed but he impressed scouts in the post season All Star Games with his quickness and productivity. He can help the Colts stop the run, a major problem last year.

Officials say two people were taken to Phoebe Putney Memorial Hospital Monday night after their car crashed into a fallen tree on Leary Road.
Dougherty County Police and the Calhoun County Volunteer Fire Department responded to the wreck just before midnight. Officials say the vehicle was heading eastbound on Leary Road when it crashed into a massive tree that had fallen across the roadway. Police say they believe the tree was blocking the road for about 45 minutes before the wreck.
"There is a lot of rain and saturation in this area. This is common when we get a lot of rain fall. That's the reason we were checking the area earlier to try and prevent any of this but unfortunately we can't be everywhere all the time," says Lynn Davis with the DCP Patrol Division.
Officials aren't releasing the names of the passengers at this time but do say they sustained minor injuries and have since been released from the hospital.

WARREN, Ohio - The night before Thanksgiving is one of the most popular days of the year to order pizza.
Pizza Joe's in Warren is expecting to do double its normal business.
"Because people are getting ready for Thanksgiving. They are home making their food, preparing for things. They don't want to have to stop and make dinner that night. So, it is very easy to come in, grab a pizza and say there is dinner now let me do my turkey," said Stephanie Platt, manager of the Pizza Joe's in Warren
Platt says pepperoni pizza is always the biggest seller at Pizza Joe's the day before Thanksgiving.

I was not only surprised by the allegations made against my comrade Richard Aoki, I was sickened. I should not have been surprised because I know that this government still has unfinished business with us, we Panthers, and being dead doesn't free us from their need to persecute us and create chaos and mistrust among those of us who remain. The San Francisco Chronicle, like most mainstream press, loves this shit.

NEW ORLEANS - There was a lot more action in Thursday night's debate.
It's much harder for people to decide who the clear winner is.
Democrats said Vice President Joe Biden was on offense 90 percent of the time.
Republicans said Biden became unhinged when he faced off with Congressman Paul Ryan and are pleased with his performance.
Dr. Robert Collins with Dillard University joined us with more information on how the vice presidential candidates did.
The next presidential debate will be a town hall meeting on October 16. The topic is foreign and domestic issues.
CBS will carry the debate live starting at 8 p.m. on WWLTV.

Editorial Anonymous has a post on her blog entitled "The Joy of Layoffs." Basically, if you haven't heard from your editor in awhile, you'd probably better contact them. He/she might be gone due to layoffs, and if that happens, your project might end up in limbo.
One of my projects is in limbo.
I haven't heard anything from anyone concerning my Duke project, and it's been almost six months. I submitted thumbnail sketches last August, but then it was put on editorial hold, indefinitely. I moved ahead to my next project, Effa, and I've hesitated to contact them, fearing a scheduling conflict should they need me to jump back in.
In addition, I've agreed to do another project following Effa, and I've just received an inquiry about illustrating yet another. So I think it's time to make contact with someone. I hope everything is not too far off track.
And while I'm at it, I'd probably better make contact with God, too. I still have a job. If you haven't heard, newspapers aren't doing so well. The paper I work for is up for sale and voluntary separation packages have been offered to longtime employees. I'm praying there won't be any involuntary separations in my near future.

It wouldn't be a major upset if you look at both teams recent form. Togo have be a lot more impressive quailfying and during the African Nations Cup, then South Korea in the last six months.Originally Posted by pasag
Not much of an upset for mine, if it does happen. I don't think South Korea are all that good. They finished behind the Saudis in qualifying, and last world cup they had the benefit of Hiddink and some ridiculously friendly umpiring.
Given the way they robbed Italy and Spain last time around, I won't be too sorry to see them lose here and miss out on the second round, either. At the very least, my 2-1 to Togo prediction is looking decent.
I know a place where a royal flush
Can never beat a pair
Beat me to it. Though I think Togo lost all three games in the African Nations Cup.Originally Posted by chaminda_00
Yeah true, but they had a fairly hard group Cameron, Angola and Congo who are not too far behind the better African sides. But finishing ahead of Sengal is a lot more impressive then behind the Saudis.Originally Posted by FaaipDeOiad

Man that was some poor football from Togo, bad defending, poor keeping, he didn't even dive. Decent free kick though, i think Togo may have just shoot themselves in the foot.
Unless Togo pull an Australia this game is all SKorea's I'm afraid
Disappointing. South Korea might even get through, given the group.

Softball Opens Conference Play with Sweep of Jacksonville
JACKSONVILLE, Fla. – The FGCU softball team swept the Jacksonville Dolphins in the Eagles' conference opening doubleheader on Friday night. The Eagles took game one 20-3 in five innings and won game two 19-2 in six innings.
FGCU got off to a good start in game one, scoring in all five innings. Jessica Gary (Naples, Fla.) tripled and scored on a sac fly off the bat of Samantha Waldron (Plant City, Fla.), giving the Eagles a 1-0 lead in the first. In the second inning, FGCU scored seven runs, all with two outs. Jessica Paez (Belle Glade, Fla.), Cheyenne Jenks (Naples, Fla.) and Samantha Waldron hit back-to-back-to-back home runs in the inning. The Eagles would go on to add four more in the third, three in the fourth, and five runs in the fifth inning. Cat McDaniel (Melbourne, Fla.) earned the win, improving to 13-0, allowing three runs, two earned, on three hits and three walks.
In game two, the Eagles once again got on the board right away, putting up three runs in the first inning thanks to a two-run home run from Jessica Paez and a solo shot from Samantha Waldron. Paez connected again in the second inning, this time for a three-run bomb, putting the Eagles up 6-0. FGCU would take a 9-2 lead into the sixth inning, when they exploded for a 10-run inning. The inning included six hits, one JU error, a hit-by-pitch, and three walks, two of which were intentional walks of Cheyenne Jenks. For the day, Jenks finished 1-for-2 with a home run, a flyout to the right field fence, and seven intentional walks.
The Eagles wrap up their short Jacksonville road trip with a doubleheader at North Florida tomorrow afternoon. First pitch for the first game is set for 2:00 PM.

This authentic B-3 jacket became the military-issued cold-weather flight jacket in 1934, and it is still the warmest and most insulating bomber jacket made. Aviators in WWII bombers came to rely on their B-3 jackets as they often flew their missions over Europe in unpressurized cabins, where air temperatures could drop to more than 60 degrees below zero. Our B-3 is made from an amazingly soft and supple genuine sheepskin with a classic, aged look and deep-pile natural shearling along the body, sleeves, and collar. With double straps under the collar and straps at the waist that cinch to adjust the fit and keep out wind. Traditional leather welted seams and side-entry pockets are authentic details from the original. Made in U.S.A.

Fethullah Gülen: Inspirer of Multi-disciplinary Studies
"The work of Gülen's followers in Turkey shows that Islam—as taught by Gülen—seeks tolerance, not conflict; it aims for a better society, not political power; and it manifests itself in prayer and concrete local action.""As early as the eighteenth century, Goethe knew that the East and the West were inseparable. However, today's society has not been able to fulfill Goethe's dream, although plenty of time has passed since the fall of the Berlin Wall. Societies remain trapped in prejudices and stereotypes that strengthen the view of a separate East and West. European enlargement has made this even more pronounced and ...Read more
The Gülen Community: a Dynamic Muslim Movement of Peace and Dialogue
The topic that I want to address today is the movement associated with the name of the modern Muslim scholar, Fethullah Gülen. I suspect that as recently as 10-15 years ago, most of us had never heard the name of Mr. Gülen nor of the predominantly group of young Muslims who make up that community. Yet today, the community has over 600 schools, so-called "Gulen Schools", including six universities, and operates in over 100 countries. In addition to their schools, they are the main inspiration behind dialogue institutes such as ...Read more
Fethullah Gülen as Educator
The topic that I chose for this paper is that of Fethullah Gülen as an educator. I must confess at the outset that I have arrived at the topic of my talk backwards. Rather than having studied the writings of Fethullah Gülen on education and pedagogy and then tried to see, in what might be called a deductive approach, how he has put these principles into practice, I have instead come to know first the educational institutions conducted by participants of the movement led by Mr. Gulen. This has led ...Read more
The Contribution of Interfaith Dialogue to Peace Building
To further its pursuits of interreligious dialogue, the Gulen movement has created the Intercultural Dialogue Platform as a project of the movement's Istanbul-based Writers and Journalists Foundation. The IDP has been particularly active in sponsoring and organizing "Abrahamic" dialogues with high-ranking representatives of Judaism, Christianity, and Islam. The Gülen movement also organizes associations for the promotion of interreligious activities at the local and regional level, such as the Cosmicus Foundation in the Netherlands, the Australian Intercultural Society in Melbourne, the Friede-Institut für Dialogue in Vienna, the Interfaith Dialog Center of ...Read more
Foreword to the book: Toward a Global Civilization of Love and Tolerance
I can cite my own case as an example. I am a Catholic priest, an American living in Rome. I have known the members of the movement associated with Fethullah Gülen for more than a decade, and I can state that they are sincerely and impressively living the teachings of their spiritual guide. They respectfully call Mr. Fethullah Gülen "Hoca Efendi," which simply means "Teacher." The lessons in this book, derived from the Qur'an and Islamic tradition, form and shape the attitudes by which these Muslims practice their Islamic ...Read more

Village Green festival returns
8:30am Tuesday 19th February 2013 in Echo News
CHALKWELL'S popular Village Green Festival returns this year. The event is back after 2012's success with over 30 000 festival goers.
Metal's popular, free arts and music festival in Chalkwell Park will take place on Saturday July 13, from 11am until 9pm.
There are eight different stages showcasing music, dance and other entertainment.
Only five years ago Village Green was a small scale celebration of the arts and music of Southend. Now, it regularly attracts thosands.
Headliners are yet to be confirmed but The Skints are set to perform.
A Metal spokeswoman said: "A key to its success is the calibre of acts and the diversity of performances: recent festivals have seen artists such as Ballet Black, the Royal Opera House, Molly Nyman , Harry Escott and the Samphire Band, Billy Bragg, James Taylor Quartet, Camera Obscura, Carleen Anderson and, local boy, Phill Jupitus jumping on stage with the Blockheads.
"But the strength of the festival is its family centred ethos with every activity arts-led."
The event is supported by Southend Council and Arts Council England.
Metal are currently looking for people interested in having a stall in the Marketplace to showcase their creative work: The deadline to apply is April 26. Food retailers have until March 15 to apply.
Volunteers are also needed to work back stage, in marketing, stewarding, capturing the event on film, artist liaison, hospitality and other site staff.
