Carolina Panthers

The Panthers just missed out on Ryan Clady T, who would have filled in a big hole in the Panters O-Line. I expect them to pick up Rashard Mendenhall RB. Williams still needs a strong backup. They might also pick Branden Albert G/T. He actually seems like a strong possibility considering that he is top 15 talent as well.

Pick: Jonathan Steward RB.

Denver Broncos

The Broncos have selected Ryan Clady T Boise State. I didn't even have time to contemplate this pick. He's the best tackle available right now, projected to be the 8th best player in the draft.

Time to get moving here, the Panthers are on the clock.

Buffalo Bills

The Buffalo Bills are looking to add to their second to worst defense in 2007 by drafting, of course, a defensive player. Leodis McKelvin is the most likely choice.

Pick: The Bills have selected Leodis McKelvin CB Troy. They filled in the weak side of the filed opposite Chris McAlister. He can also add depth behind Rolle.

The Broncos are up next.

New England Patrios(From Saints)

The Patriots are back a few picks later and their two possible CB picks are still available. Kevin McKelvin and Dominique Rodgers-Cromartie. I expect that they will take one of the two, again, most likely McKelvin.

Pick: The pick is in and the Patriots have selected (With a boo or two) Jerod Mayo ILB Penn State. Well then. Projected to be late in the first round and and second best LB available, I'm surprised. Maybe a bit of a reach up, but you can't ignore their need to add youth to their linebacker corps. You also can't doubt the Pats ability to draft.

The Bills are on the clock.

Cincinatti Bengals

The Bengals have been in contact with Keith Rivers. Just now they showed him on his cell phone, obviously happy with his family cheering nearby. He looks to be the best possible pick the Bengals can make. Not only are they looking for defensive help, they need to ensure good character.

Pick: The Bengals, as predicted, have picked Keith Rivers OLB USC. A strong pick by a team with a weak defense. Kiper sees nothing spectacular about him, but they say he has great athletic ability.

Patriots are on the clock again.

Jacksonville Jaguars(From the Ravens)

The Jags have come all the way from the 26th pick. This move has me flipping through everything I have. After looking at some short notes, maybe we'll see Keith Rivers get picked. I'm not sure who they would go for with such a high jump. Derrick Harvey fills in a serious need a DE, but is projected to be between a 10-15th pick.

Pick: The Jags have picked Derrick Harvey DE Florida. Not bad! Well that was a need, and they jumped to make sure they filled it.

Cincinnati is on the clock.

New Orleans Saits (From Patriots)

The Patriots sacrificed their pick in the 2007 draft so the 49ers could pick up Joe Staley. I expect them to trade that one away. They just don't need much with a seventh pick. If they do draft, I suppose they might get McKelvin CB.

Update: Saints have traded up.

The New Orleans Saints will most likely pick a CB. Either McKelvin or Dominique Rodgers-Cromartie. The better prospect is slightly McKelvin.

Pick: The Saints have selected Sedrick Ellis DT USC. Not what I expected, but everyone is saying Ellis is a fast and strong DT prospect. Some are considering Ellis to be just as effective as Dorsey.

The Ravens have the next pick.
