Round 1 Selections 17-32 (below)

| 17 | * |  |
Brandon Graham Michigan OLB34 Reach (-4) |
San Francisco In a 3-4, Graham would most likely be used as on outside linebacker/ pass rusher/ hybrid defensive end in passing situations. With the addition of Mays in the secondary, and Graham with this pick, the Niners will be in good position to have a top 5 defense in the league. -Drew Kerr Drafttek 49ers Analyst  |

Earl Thomas Texas FS Value (+0) |
Pittsburgh This was a great pick of a ball hawking safety with great skills and safety instincts. It was a great pick until the team re-signed the starting FS Ryan Clark. Even in light of that move it's still a decent pick. Thomas can reportedly play corner and could look to step into a starting safety role down the road. With the Steelers swiftly plugging holes, this is becoming a legitmate BPA pick. Weatherspoon, Iupati, Dan Williams, Odrick, Golden Tate, or Anthony Davis could well be that best player. -- Patrick (Drafttek Steelers Analyst) |

Jason Pierre-Paul South Florida DE43 Value (+4) |
Atlanta Atlanta addressed one of their biggest needs in going out and signing Dunta Robinson to play corner. While the pick of a DE makes a lot of sense. Atlanta will likely look for someone with more production and experience than Pierre-Paul brings to the table. Pierre-Paul is a solid scheme fit though and could be the pick. - Scott Carasik (Drafttek Falcons Analyst) |

Jonathan Dwyer Georgia Tech RBF Reach (-9) |
Houston The Texans are another trade (up or down) candidate, as the value for their positions of need are just not there. Dwyer has seen his stock drop and although Houston may wait until the 2nd round to address RB, the simulation shows no favoritism. One of the DE's still on the board might be an alternative. - Long Ball, DOF |
|
| 21 |  |
Jermaine Gresham Oklahoma TE Reach (-9) |
Cincinnati If the Bengals do add T.O. or Antonio Bryant and add a TE like Gresham there is no reason why the Bengals couldn't get back to the passing success they had during the '05 season. With a complementary running game, the Bengals offense would potentially be "lights-out" next season. Derek Rose- Bengals Analyst |

| 22 |  |
Carlos Dunlap Florida DE34 Value (+3) |
New England It's imperative for the Patriots to find an answer at DE. Richard Seymour's position was never properly filled and the Pats defense was exposed when that deficiency was paired with a weak pass rush. Dunlap, who comes with some baggage, is a prime candidate for a 3-4 DE. He has the perfect combination of size and speed necessary to stifle stretch plays and force the QB out of the pocket. - Joe Mays, Draft Tek Analyst |
|
| 23 |  |
Anthony Davis Rutgers OT Value (+0) |
Green Bay I have a feeling the normally stoic Ted Thompson would be doing cartwheels if Anthony Davis were to fall into the Packers lap. Big, powerful, nimble, Davis has all the attributes to be a future Pro Bowler. The question with Davis is motivation and conditioning. If he can conquer the mental side of being a professional football player, we could be the LT of the future the Packers need to protect Aaron Rodgers. - Al Bracco (Drafttek Packers Analyst) |

| 24 |  |
Sean Weatherspoon Missouri OLB43 Reach (-2) |
Philadelphia A major upgrade is needed at both the WILL and SAM LB spots. This can ideally be accomplished with the addition of Sean Weatherspoon, who has the versatility to fill in at practically any spot, although he prefers playing the WILL spot. -Scott Mesquita (Drafttek Eagles Analyst) |

| PK | TEAM | SELECTION | COMMENTS | |
| 25 |  |
Jared Odrick Penn State DE34 Value (+0) |
Baltimore Odrick played DT in the 4-3 scheme at Penn State but projects as a 3-4 DE for the Ravens based on his closing speed and his non-stop motor. He is a hard worker who should be coachable in his transition from DT to the DE position. He'd be a great addition to a Ravens defense that is getting a little long in the tooth.- Bryan Chen, DraftTek |
|
| 26 |  |
Ricky Sapp Clemson OLB34 Reach (-2) |
Arizona Sapp's right knee was pulled, prodded, felt up and down at the Combine enough to satisfy Arizona - not to mention a sub-4.7 forty, 23 reps and strong showings in the skills drills. He projects well as a hybrid in the Cardinals' defense and immediately upgrades the pass-rush. - Long Ball, DOF |
|
| 27 |  |
Maurkice Pouncey Florida OC Reach (-4) |
Dallas 1st round selections, at minimum, should strengthen the depth and challenge for a starting position - hello Maurkice Pouncey! He immediately displaces Cory Proctor, challenges Kyle Kosier at LG or moves into OC and allows Andre Gurode to move over to LG. Kosier becomes the "veteran back-up" in the last year of his contract. - Long Ball, DOF |
|
| 28 |  |
Dan Williams Tennessee DT34 Value (+4) |
San Diego Somehow, the best NT in the draft falls all the way to the 28th pick after the Chargers release Jamal Williams. Clearly, someone in high places is pulling for San Diego. Dan would instantly replace Jamal in the heart of the 3-4, giving the Chargers run defense some much needed bite for the next 10 years - Brett Stott (Drafttek Chargers Analyst) |
|
| 29 |  |
Sergio Kindle Texas OLB34 Reach (-9) |
NY Jets The Jets are looking for a pass rush specialist here, and they should be able to find one as other teams focus on their own needs. TCU's Jerry Hughes is available, and so is Texas' Sergio Kindle. But represent another piece in the Jets nearly complete jigsaw - Drafttek Staff |
|
| 30 |  |
Mike Iupati Idaho OG Value (+13) |
Minnesota This would be a classic Brad Childress pick a la Harvin and Peterson. Iupati would arguably be the BPA, at a position that was somewhat of a need, but not the top need. He would certainly solidify the depth on the line, possibly pushing out Herrera, and this might be enough to convince a certain 40-year old QB to come back for one more shot at a Super Bowl - Brett Stott (Drafttek Vikings Analyst) |
|
| 31 |  |
Everson Griffen USC DE43 Value (+15) |
Indianapolis With the departure of Raheem Brock and Dwight Freeney and Robert Mathis getting some bumps and bruises to sideline them occassionally, the Colts could use a young, fresh talent in the rotation. I'm not so sure that Griffen is an Indy type guy. He's not necessarily consistent in his work ethic or play and has been known to be more weight-room strong as opposed to physically tough on the field. - Rick McGlothlin (Drafttek Indy Analyst) |
|
| 32 |  |
Corey Wootton Northwestern DE43 Value (+0) |
New Orleans The Saints need the opposite DE side of Will Smith to be able to put more pressure on the QB and create more confusion for offensive lines trying to protect the quarterback. Big, tall and having a huge wingspan, Wooton will certainly have the potential to create that impact for the Saints, especially as it relates to getting his hands up and disrupting the passing lane for a QB. His biggest problem might be his overall physicality against NFL lineman at the point of atack. His upper and lower body strength on his 265 pound frame might be a bit lacking and allow him to be neutralized against some NFL offensive linemen - Rick McGlothlin (Drafttek Saints Analyst) |
