| PK(OVR) | TEAM | NAME | POS | SCHOOL |
| 1(101) | Dallas (from Detroit) | Stephen McGee | QB | Texas A&M |
Rarely do you see quarterbacks who started three games and appeared in just six during his senior season go this early in the draft. McGee is an exception. He has good size (6-3, 225), underrated arm strength and above-average mobility. We certainly can't overlook his durability concerns but he's tough and an excellent leader. Complete analysis  | ||||
| 2(102) | Kansas City | Donald Washington | CB | Ohio State |
| Washington possesses a good blend of size and top-end speed. Although he could stand to add a couple more pounds to his frame he's fluid for a 6-foot corner. He shows good burst when wideouts catch the ball in front of him but doesn't make enough big plays, and there is some character baggage here. Complete analysis | ||||
| 3(103) | St. Louis | Dorell Scott | DT | Clemson |
| Scott possesses the adequate size to be an effective one-gap defensive tackle. However, his quickness is just average and we'd like to see him play with more of a mean streak. We do believe he has enough strength to develop into an effective interior run-stopper. Complete analysis | ||||
| 4(104) | Cleveland | Kaluka Maiava | OLB | USC |
| Maiava is a little bit undersized at 5-11, 229. Still, he displays outstanding football intelligence that allows for him to get into strong initial position as a run defender. He also is a consistent open-field tackler and shows good fluidity in coverage. However, we have some concerns about his overall strength, especially in phone-booth situations. Complete analysis | ||||
| 5(105) | Chicago (from Seattle) | Henry Melton | DE | Texas |
| A former running back, Melton display excellent lower-body strength that gives him the ability to stack and shed when holding the edge against the run. He also flashes the quickness and natural ability to bend that could allow him to develop into an effective pass-rusher. Complete analysis | ||||
| 6(106) | Cincinnati | Jonathan Luigs | OC | Arkansas |
| Luigs possesses excellent instincts and awareness. He also displays above-average footwork and does a good job getting into strong initial position. However, we'd like to see him improve as a finisher. Complete analysis | ||||
| 7(107) | Jacksonville | Mike Thomas | WR | Arizona |
| Listed at 5-8 and 195, Thomas is vastly undersized and will have to line up in the slot position. He possesses a quick initial burst off the line of scrimmage and makes smooth transitions out of his breaks. He also has reliable hands and brings good versatility with his ability to return punts. Complete analysis | ||||
| 8(108) | Miami (from Oakland) | Brian Hartline | WR | Ohio State |
| Hartline plays with the competitive edge and displays the toughness to go over the middle. He also shows good body control when catching the ball. However, we have some concerns with his fluidity changing directions and overall consistency with his hands because he has a history of dropping balls he should catch. Complete analysis | ||||
| 9(109) | Green Bay | T.J. Lang | OT | Eastern Michigan |
| Lang displays brute strength and has the ability to engulf defenders. He also shows effective use of his hands when in combat. He has natural knee bend and does a nice job riding rushers past the pocket. However, his hips are a bit stiff, which brings up concerns about redirecting against double moves. Complete analysis | ||||
| 10(110) | Dallas (from Buffalo) | Victor Butler | OLB | Oregon State |
| Butler has the size and quickness to line up at the rush-end position in a 3-4 look. His quick first step and explosiveness off the edge makes him one of this year's most intriguing midround pass-rushing prospects. However, Butler must get stronger at the point of attack and be more consistent as an open-field tackler. Complete analysis
| ||||
| 11(111) | Carolina (from San Francisco) | Mike Goodson | RB | Texas A&M |
| Goodson is one of the most intriguing midround backs in this year's draft. He shows the ability to stick his foot in the ground and make crisp cuts, and runs with above-average balance. While he doesn't have home-run hitting speed on film he does display a burst to rip off big gains. Goodson brings added value with his ability to be effective in the pass game. Complete analysis | ||||
| 12(112) | Houston | Glover Quin | S | New Mexico |
| Quin makes a quick diagnosis of plays and gets into strong initial position to make plays on the ball. He also takes good angles with the ball in flight and shows above-average ball skills. Although he's undersized for the safety position he's not afraid to throw his body around. However, he needs some tweaking to his overall footwork. Complete analysis | ||||
| 13(113) | San Diego | Vaughn Martin | DT | Western Ontario |
| Martin possesses excellent size and length and plays with good balance and quickness. However, he doesn't possess adequate explosion as a pass-rusher and will struggle to create penetration at the next level. Complete analysis | ||||
| 14(114) | Denver | David Bruton | S | Notre Dame |
| Bruton possesses excellent size for the position at 6-2 and 219 pounds. His strengths are his instincts and his effectiveness running the alleys as a run defender. He also is a consistent open-field tackler and can deliver a big hit. He shows some tightness in his hips, which brings up concerns about his overall range in coverage. Complete analysis | ||||
| 15(115) | Detroit (from Washington through N.Y. Jets) | Sammie Lee Hill | DT | Stillman |
| Hill boasts great size to be effective holding up on the interior. He displays a quick first step and above-average lateral movement for his size. He also has good strength and flashes the ability to deliver a violent initial punch. However, he will need some time to make the adjustment going from Division II competition to the NFL level. Complete analysis | ||||
| 16(116) | New Orleans | Chip Vaughn | S | Wake Forest |
| Vaughn is an aggressive safety who possesses excellent size. He also is an effective open-field tackler and is capable of occasionally delivering a big hit. However, he lacks fluidity in the hips and is going to have problems covering a wide area when lined up in center field. Complete analysis | ||||
| 17(117) | Tampa Bay (from Dallas) | Kyle Moore | DE | USC |
| At 6-5, 270 pounds, Moore is extremely gifted athletically. He displays a fluid change of direction and possesses the closing burst necessary to be effective in pursuit. He has an excellent blend of power and speed off the edge when rushing the passer. However, we have slight concerns about his overall instincts because he is often a second late in finding the football. Complete analysis | ||||
| 18(118) | New Orleans (from N.Y. Jets) | Stanley Arnoux | ILB | Wake Forest |
| Arnoux is an instinctive player who is extremely stout defending the run on the interior. Although he's limited athletically, he can mask this flaw with his overall football intelligence. He is a two-down linebacker and his overall strength is anchoring the middle. Complete analysis | ||||
| 19(119) | Chicago | D.J. Moore | CB | Vanderbilt |
| Moore is an extremely instinctive, quick-twitch athlete. His strength comes from his ability to change directions in an instant as well as his overall ball skills. However, we have some concerns about his recovery speed when caught in a trail position. Complete analysis | ||||
| 20(120) | Dallas (from Tampa Bay) | Brandon Williams | DE | Texas Tech |
| Williams was a defensive end in college and possesses the versatility to line up as a 3-4 rush end. He has an adequate closing burst to get to the quarterback when coming off the edge as a pass rusher. However, some tightness in his hips brings up concerns about his ability to play in open space. Complete analysis | ||||
| 21(121) | Buffalo (from Philadelphia) | Shawn Nelson | TE | Southern Miss |
| Nelson is blessed with outstanding athleticism for a tight end. He possesses good top-end speed and has excellent length and body control when catching the football. Not to mention, Nelson has extremely soft and reliable hands. He also has vastly improved as a run-blocker. Complete analysis | ||||
| 22(122) | Houston (from Minnesota) | Anthony Hill | TE | North Carolina State |
| Although Hill is extremely limited as an athlete his value comes from his ability as an inline blocker. In fact, he's our top-rated blocking tight end. He possesses brute strength at the point of attack and can push defenders off the ball. Complete analysis | ||||
| 23(123) | New England (from Baltimore) | Rich Ohrnberger | OG | Penn State |
| Ohrnberger is a mauler who plays with an aggressive attitude and works very hard to finish his blocks. However, he's limited athletically and will struggle with quicker interior defensive linemen. Complete analysis | ||||
| 24(124) | Oakland (from New England) | Louis Murphy | WR | Florida |
| Murphy displays a quick burst off the line of scrimmage and his long arms and reliable hands make him a favorable target for quarterbacks. However, he needs to work on his route-running because he rounds too many of his breaks. Murphy also isn't a legit deep threat as he possesses long speed and tracks the deep ball well. Complete analysis | ||||
| 25(125) | Atlanta | Lawrence Sidbury | DE | Richmond |
| Sidbury is one of the highest-rated small-school prospects in this year's draft. His strength comes from his ability to get to the quarterback off the edge. He has the length, quickness and closing burst to have an immediate impact as a situational pass-rusher in the NFL. However, Sidbury must develop physically to become more stout against the run. Complete analysis | ||||
| 26(126) | Oakland (from Miami) | Slade Norris | OLB | Oregon State |
| Norris is undersized for the position but makes up for it with excellent overall athleticism. He has a wide range when defending the run and he takes excellent angles in pursuit. However, his lack of size brings up major concerns about his ability to anchor in phone booth situations. Complete analysis | ||||
| 27(127) | Indianapolis | Austin Collie | WR | Brigham Young |
| Collie runs precise routes and consistently creates separation coming out of his breaks. Combine that with his reliable hands and you have one of the better chain-moving wideouts in this year's class. Complete analysis | ||||
| 28(128) | Carolina | Tony Fiammetta | FB | Syracuse |
| Fiammetta is our top-rated fullback due to his versatility. He's an effective lead blocker as well as a reliable receiving target out of the backfield. Complete analysis | ||||
| 29(129) | NY Giants | Andre Brown | RB | North Carolina State |
| Brown possesses a nice combination of size and speed. He also is a shifty runner who can be extremely tough to tackle when entering the open field. We also love his finish as a runner. Complete analysis | ||||
| 30(130) | Tennessee | Gerald McRath | ILB | Southern Miss |
| McRath has the athleticism and speed to provide him with a wide range when defending the run. He also brings added value as a special teams player. However, he's undersized and will have problems when teams decide to run at him. Complete analysis | ||||
| 31(131) | Arizona | Gregory Toler | CB | St. Paul's College |
| Toler has good size and athleticism. He's a physical corner who also has above-average instincts. However, he'll need to improve his ball skills. Complete analysis | ||||
| 32(132) | Denver (from Pittsburgh) | Seth Olsen | OT | Iowa |
| Olsen is limited as far as athleticism. He displays brute strength and is a mauler at the point of attack. However, concerns about his lack of lateral movement may mean problems trying to stop more powerful, quicker defensive linemen. Complete analysis | ||||
| 33(133) | San Diego (Compensatory selection) | Tyronne Green | OG | Auburn |
| Green possesses prototypical size for the guard position and has surprising athletic ability. He's light on his feet and has the fluidity to be effective when pulling around edge. He excels at climbing to the second level and does a good job adjusting on the move. Complete analysis | ||||
| 34(134) | San Diego (Compensatory selection) | Gartrell Johnson | RB | Colorado State |
| While he does not have blazing speed, Johnson makes up for it with his power and balance as a runner. He will be extremely effective in short-yardage situations and his thick lower-body build allows him to pick up the tough yardage after contact. Complete analysis | ||||
| 35(135) | Tennessee (Compensatory selection) | Troy Kropog | OT | Tulane |
| Kropog has above-average athleticism and is extremely light on his feet in pass sets. However, he needs to play with lower pad level to become a more effective inline blocker. Complete analysis | ||||
| 36(136) | Indianapolis (Compensatory selection) | Terrance Taylor | DT | Michigan |
| Taylor possesses a squatty build that allows him to generate good leverage on the interior. However, he is a bit undersized and is going to have problems anchoring against double-teams at the NFL level. Complete analysis | ||||
