No. 26 Baltimore Ravens—Jermane Mayberry

The Ravens were robbed the most with the re-mix, losing Ray Lewis and Jonathan Ogden.  While Zach Thomas and Jermane Mayberry are decent picks, they aren’t nearly as effective.  The Super Bowl title would be kissed goodbye.  Mayberry did make a Pro Bowl in 2002 for the Eagles.

 

No. 27  Green Bay Packers—Mike Flanagan

The Packers’ focus was their offensive line in this draft.  Marco Rivera was already taken from them so they’ll have to take their third round (90th overall) pick here to avoid losing their long-time center.  He made one Pro Bowl for the Pack.


No. 28 Kansas City Chiefs—Lance Johnstone
The late Derrick Thomas would be retiring in a few years.  Why not add a pass rusher to help fill some of the void?  Johnstone has 72 career sacks, including four seasons with 10+ sacks.

 

No. 29 Pittsburgh Steelers—Kevin Hardy

Pittsburgh would go with best available and grab Pro Bowl LB Kevin Hardy.  Hardy recorded 736 tackles and 36 sacks in his nine-year career.

 

No. 30 Washington Redskins—Donnie Abraham

The Redskins would wrap up the first round with Pro Bowl CB Donnie Abraham.  Abraham had 38 career INTs, leading the league with seven in 1999.  He had at least five picks in five seasons.
