Well, Pro Days are over and there has been some moving and shaking amongst the prospects. All that is left to do are individual workouts and interviews, and with only little over a week left, there’s not much left to do for the prospects. With that, here is my latest 2 round projection (without trades):

1. Oakland-JaMarcus Russell, QB LSU

-Russell is bigger, has a stronger arm, and has better measurables than Brady Quinn, which is all Al Davis wants. He had a phenomenal Pro Day, and answered questions about footwork. Plus, he could go down as the best QB Sneaker of all time.

2. Detroit- Joe Thomas, OT Wisconsin

-From his combine performance, this could be the safest pick in the draft. However, with his pre-draft hype, it’s reminding me an awful lot of Robert Gallery. Let’s hope for Matt Millen’s sake he turns out to be the franchise tackle everyone thinks he’ll be. They also could take Quinn, but it doesn’t matter who is throwing passes if they don’t have any time to throw.

 3. Cleveland- Brady Quinn, QB Notre Dame

-While I still think this pick needs to be Adrian Peterson, Quinn’s Pro Day locked up his spot at 3. With a much improved OL, Quinn should have enough time to spread the ball around to two dangerous weapons in Braylon Edwards and Kellen Winslow, Jr.

4. Tampa Bay- Calvin Johnson, WR Georgia Tech

-Freak of nature, plain and simple. 6’5 239 lbs and ran a 4.35 which an 11-7 inch Broad Jump. That is nasty. Tampa Bay becomes the luckiest team in the history of the draft. Questions surround whether or not a team trades up and takes Johnson (and Peterson), but unless someone is willing to give up their whole draft and players Tampa should NOT budge. Johnson is a truly unique prospect, and the Bucs need to be worried about a team trading up to snag him.

5. Arizona- Gaines Adams, DE Clemson

-Explosive athlete that can change games with his speed and quickness. Arizona had no threat off the edge last year and Adams is a great talent.

6. Washington- Jamaal Anderson, DE Arkansas

-Again, no pass rushing threat last year. This will help out the secondary as well. Was dominant at times this season. Gets great penetration and can is a solid anchor against the run.

7. Minnesota- LaRon Landry, S LSU

-Had possibly the most impressive workout in the combine, showing speed that I did not think he possessed. I was not a believer in Landry but I now think he can play in this league. Minnesota needs help at safety because Sharper isn’t getting younger and Dwight Smith isn’t close to elite.

8. Atlanta (from Houston) - Adrian Peterson, RB Oklahoma

-They made an outstanding deal with Houston, and they get arguably the best player in the draft. He’s in my opinion the top ballcarrier to come out in the last couple drafts. Power, speed, vision and toughness are just a few of his outstanding qualities.

9. Miami- Alan Branch, DT Michigan

-Defensive Line is a major need area for the Dolphins, who are getting very old on that side of the ball. Branch is a great run stopper who will open things up for Channing Crowder.

10. Houston (from ATL) – Levi Brown, OT Penn State

-While Brown is a good player, his stock gets inflated because of his position and the Texans need at the position.

11. San Francisco- Patrick Willis, LB Ole Miss

-I think that with Mike Nolan being a defensive coach, he puts pressure on the front office to take in my opinion the best football player in the draft. Willis will be phenomenal in any linebacker position in the suddenly talented 49er defense.

12. Buffalo- Marshawn Lynch, RB Cal

-While LB is their most glaring need, with the trade of McGahee they need help at Running Back badly. Lynch is a special back and will help out an improving offense.

13. St. Louis- Leon Hall, CB Michigan

-Terrible pass defense, plain and simple. Hall is a standout talent with excellent size/speed combo that is great for a Cover 2.

14. Carolina- Amobi Okoye, DT NC State

-Okoye is an extremely talented player, and is still raw. Once he develops he’s going to be an animal. Carolina’s DT’s are always hurt and the Panthers are looking to trade Kris Jenkins. Okoye would bring in some great energy to a defense needing a bit of a boost.

15. Pittsburgh- John Beason, OLB Miami

-While Jarvis Moss fills a void as a pass-rushing OLB, I think they go with Beason because of the slow transition to the 4-3 under Mike Tomlin. Beason is a great athlete and a good pick for either defense.

16. Green Bay- Greg Olsen, TE Miami

-With decent options on the outside at receiver, the Packers take the super-athletic TE from The U since Marshawn Lynch is gone.

17. Jacksonville- Adam Carriker, DE Nebraska

-Jacksonville needs some form of a pass rush from the end spot and Carriker can bring thatt.

18. Cincinnati- Darrelle Revis, CB Pitt

-Cincy needs help in their secondary desperately with the loss of Tory James. Revis is being talked about as possibly being the top CB in the draft, and rightfully so.

19. Tennessee- Ted Ginn, WR Ohio State

-The Titans need help at many positions. Ginn satisfies needs at receiver and in the return game, which they are sorely lacking with the loss of Pac Man. They get a steal and a great weapon for Vince Young and Norm Chow to use.

20. New York Giants- Chris Houston, CB Arkansas

-New York’s pass Defense was pathetic. Houston has absolutely ridiculous physical attributes, with blinding speed and amazing strength. Instant starter.

21. Denver- Justin Harrell, DT Tennessee

-The Broncos’ DT situation is disastrous and Harrell is flying up draft boards. He’s got great toughness and talent and should be a fixture at DT.

22. Dallas Cowboys- Dwayne Bowe, WR LSU

-While Dallas kept Terry Glenn, he can’t go forever. Also, Terrell Owens isn’t getting younger and has had multiple surgeries on that hand. Oh yeah, he’s had some character problems, too. Bowe should not last this long, but if he does he’s got all the attributes to be a number 1 wideout.

23. Kansas City- Joe Staley, OT Central Michigan

-Yes, everyone thinks they need a receiver, which they do. But somehow they always seem to get by, don’t they? Their OL is in desperate need of an offensive tackle, and Staley is a perfect fit for their system which puts an emphasis on athletic tackles.

24. New England- Paul Posluszny, LB Penn State

-Prototype Belicheck player, with toughness, instincts, and intelligence. Really boosted his status with solid 40 times at his pro day. I don’t know why he’s slipping so much, as he’s an outstanding linebacker.

25. New York Jets- Aaron Ross, CB Texas

-The Jets pass D is awful as their corners are just not good. Ross is possibly the most refined corner in the draft, and he was the Thorpe Award winner.

26. Philadelphia- Robert Meacham, WR Tennessee

-Picking up Spikes was huge, so they can afford to ignore LB this round, especially if a gift like Meacham falls to them. He’s big, fast, and tough. Most importantly, he’s great after the catch, which is a point of emphasis in the West Coast offense.

27. New Orleans- Marcus McCauley, CB Fresno State

-Big, physical, and fast. Has all the tools to eliminate one side of the field. However, I think he’s overrated. He is still an improvement.

28. New England- Brian Leonard, RB Rutgers

-I am a huge fan of the multi-talented Leonard. He can be used to spell Maroney and as a receiver out of the backfield. Another prototype Patriot.

29. Baltimore Ravens- Jarvis Moss, DE/OLB Florida

-With the loss of Adalius Thomas they need someone to fill his role. Moss has great athleticism and can contribute big.

30. San Diego- Dwayne Jarrett, WR USC

 -San Diego lacks a deep threat. Actually, they just lack any threat at receiver. Jarrett is in my opinion a great prospect that gives SD a big physical body on the perimeter.

31. Chicago- Lawrence Timmons, LB FSU

-With Lance Briggs’ situation up in the air, they take his heir in the speedy Timmons. He’s got great agility and speed to match up with receivers and drop back into zone. Great WLB.

32. Indianapolis- Justin Harrell, DT Tennessee

-Harrell is a great talent and can immediately help the Colts porous run defense.
