Round 4
PK(OVR)TEAMNAMEPOSSCHOOL
1(100)Oakland (From Dolphins through Cowboys)Tyvon BranchCBConnecticut
 Branch has good speed for the position and good short-area man skills. He can also contribute in the return game, but he isn't very explosive. He will provide depth behind DeAngelo Hall and will also play on special teams.
2(101)St. LouisJustin KingCBPenn State
 King is the ultimate tease. He's talented but just doesn't finish plays. He doesn't get his head turned around in time when running with receivers down the field and doesn't time jumps very well either.
3(102)Green BayJeremy ThompsonDEWake Forest
 Thompson is not a great run-stopper due to a lack of size. He has the frame to get bigger, though, and he is relentless. He will improve as he gets bigger. Kabeer Gbaja-Biamila is getting up there in years, and the Packers are obviously building depth along the defensive line.
4(103)Tennessee (From Falcons through Redskins)William HayesDEWinston-Salem
 At 6-foot-2, 258 pounds, Hayes is an undersized defensive end who may be a better fit at outside linebacker in a 3-4 scheme. This pick seems like a huge reach.
5(104)Cleveland (From Raiders through Cowboys)Beau BellILBUNLV
 Bell is a big, instinctive tackling machine who fits best as a two-down inside linebacker in a 3-4. The Browns needed to move up to get a position of need, and with Andre Davis coming off a down year in 2007, Bell looks like his eventual replacement.
6(105)Kansas CityWill FranklinWRMissouri
 Franklin has had some problems staying healthy and occasionally drops passes he should catch, but he does have a good combination of size and speed.
7(106)BaltimoreMarcus SmithWRNew Mexico
 Smith has good size and enough speed to stretch the field, but he isn't a great route runner and drops some passes. Still, he will provide depth in the receiving corps, as the Ravens are trying to find playmakers and Derrick Mason is getting older.
8(107)San FranciscoCody WallaceOCTexas A&M
 Wallace is a technician who gets into position well and sustains his blocks, but he isn't an overpowering run-blocker and has problems redirecting in pass protection.
9(108)DenverKory LichtensteigerOCBowling Green
 Lichtensteiger can play center or guard and plays with a mean streak, but he lacks athletic ability and struggles in pass protection. He will provide depth on the offensive line, however.
10(109)Philadelphia (From Panthers)Mike McGlynnOGPittsburgh
 McGlynn could be the heir apparent to the Eagles' aging tackles. He might be a better fit at guard, but he has experience at right tackle and is an excellent drive-blocker.
11(110)Miami (From Bears)Shawn MurphyOGUtah State
 Murphy is a small-school prospect with good quickness for his size, but he needs to develop a mean streak. With this pick the Dolphins are continuing to build depth on the offensive line.
12(111)Cleveland (From Lions through Cowboys)Martin RuckerTEMissouri
 Rucker shows good athletic ability for his size and is a fluid route-runner, but he isn't a great drive-blocker and isn't fast enough to stretch the field at the NFL level.
13(112)CincinnatiAnthony CollinsOTKansas
 Collins has good size with the frame to get bigger. He is a developmental prospect who will have to learn to play on the right side. The Bengals add depth to the offensive line with this pick, as there are concerns about Willie Anderson and Levi Jones, who didn't play up to speed last year.
14(113)NY Jets (From Saints through Packers)Dwight LoweryCBSan Jose State
 Lowery is a playmaker who changes directions well and shows good burst out of his backpedal. He gets pushed around too much, though, and is going to struggle to run with pro wideouts.
15(114)BuffaloReggie CornerCBAkron
 Corner has good athletic ability and top-end speed but can be pushed around by physical receivers. Buffalo continues to address its need in the secondary with this pick, adding depth to an area that was a weakness last year largely because of a lack of pressure on the quarterback.
16(115)Tampa Bay (From Dolphins through Bears)Dre MooreDTMaryland
 Moore is an athletic, one-gap defensive tackle with great upside and one of the most consistent players on film in this year's draft.
17(116)ArizonaKenny IwebemaDEIowa
 Iwebema is athletic and has the frame to develop into an effective run-stopper, but he doesn't have great closing speed off the edge. He is the second end the Cardinals selected in the draft, and Iwebema will provide additional depth at this position.
18(117)Philadelphia (From Vikings)Quintin DempsSUTEP
 Demps isn't great in run support and his footwork is a little inconsistent, but he has great speed and he can play a center fielder-type role.
19(118)HoustonXavier AdibiOLBVirginia Tech
 Adibi will struggle in run support, but he is a good value here. He has good sideline-to-sideline speed and can run with backs in coverage.
20(119)Denver (From Redskins)Jack WilliamsCBKent State
 Williams has the instincts and athletic ability to become an effective No. 2 corner. He's also an excellent player on special teams. Still, he doesn't have great size, so he's going to have problems slowing receivers down at the line of scrimmage.
21(120)Chicago (From Buccaneers)Craig SteltzSLSU
 Steltz does not have great speed, but he is a playmaker who jumps underneath routes. He is very good in run support and is a good blitzer when called upon.
22(121)SeattleRed BryantDTTexas A&M
 Bryant has excellent size and is quick enough to disrupt running plays in the backfield. However, he's a one-dimensional run-stopper, doesn't have great closing speed and isn't an effective bull-rusher.
23(122)Dallas (From Browns)Tashard ChoiceRBGeorgia Tech
 Choice doesn't have breakaway speed and will put the ball on the ground, but he reads his blocks well and is a north-south runner who falls forward. He is the second running back the Cowboys have drafted and will provide depth. Also, there may be concern about getting Marion Barber signed long term.
24(123)NY Giants (From Steelers)Bryan KehlOLBBrigham Young
 Kehl plays too high, so he has problems anchoring against the run. He also lacks ideal man-to-man cover skills, but there's a lot to like about his upside: He's athletic, has good speed and has the frame to get bigger.
25(124)Washington (From Titans)Justin TryonCBArizona State
 Tryon plays bigger than his size would suggest, but he struggles tackling bigger ball carriers. He opens his hips well and is comfortable in press coverage, but bigger receivers can shield him from the ball.
26(125)Oakland (From Jaguars through Ravens)Arman ShieldsWRRichmond
 Shields sustained a season-ending knee injury early in the 2007 season, and he doesn't have great size. On the other hand, he played very well against Vanderbilt in the 2007 season opener, quieting concerns about his ability to make the jump to the NFL. He's fearless going over the middle and fast enough to stretch the field.
27(126)Tennessee (From Cowboys)Lavelle HawkinsWRCalifornia
 Hawkins, the first receiver the Titans have drafted, is another wideout who will get pushed around at times, and he doesn't have great top-end speed. He runs good routes, though, and is a good value at this point.
28(127)IndianapolisJacob TammeTEKentucky
 Tamme is a wideout trapped in a tight end's body. Although he may never become an effective in-line blocker, he does have excellent speed and catches the ball in stride.
29(128)St. Louis (From Packers)Keenan BurtonWRKentucky
 Burton is more quick than fast and isn't a great vertical threat. He does show excellent body control and flashes the ability to make spectacular catches. He fits better as a No. 2 than Donnie Avery, whom the Rams picked in the second round. Burton provides more receiving depth to the Rams, who had a need with the loss of Isaac Bruce and the underwhelming production of Drew Bennett.
30(129)New EnglandJonathan WilhiteCBAuburn
 Although Wilhite is susceptible to getting flagged for pass interference and defensive holding, there's a lot to like about his physical style of play. If he learns to play with better discipline, he could develop into an effective press corner for his size. He also has very good speed.
31(130)Pittsburgh (From Giants)Tony HillsOTTexas
 Hills is coming off a season-ending leg injury and needs to work on using his hands to control defenders, but he has the size and mobility to develop into an excellent right tackle or adequate left tackle.
32(131)Philadelphia (Compensatory selection)Jack IkegwuonuCBWisconsin
 Ikegwuonu sustained a serious knee injury while preparing for the combine and is not expected to play this season, making his selection by Philadelphia a bit puzzling. Before the injury, he was a physical corner who used his hands well and could slow down wideouts at the line of scrimmage. However, he's never had great speed, and the injury makes that even more of a concern. He could move to safety in the NFL.
33(132)Buffalo (Compensatory selection)Derek FineTEKansas
 Fine lacks ideal size and isn't going to be an impressive in-line blocker, but he's versatile enough to line up at fullback and is a smooth route-runner who reads defenses well.
34(133)Baltimore (Compensatory selection)David HaleOTWeber State
 Hale has adequate feet and uses his hands well. He also sustains his blocks and plays with a mean streak. He will play too high at times and hasn't shown good lower-body strength.
35(134)Tennessee (Compensatory selection)Stanford KeglarOLBPurdue
 Keglar is a sideline-to-sideline run defender with good size, but he has problems running with backs and tight ends in man-to-man coverage.
36(135)Green Bay (Compensatory selection)Josh SittonOTUCF
 Sitton has excellent size but lacks ideal explosiveness and range, so he might be a better fit at guard.
