  1. Browns: WR Darius Heyward-Bey, Maryland

 

The Browns will now address a receiver need. At the very least, they need to replace Dontae Stallworth, who has been charged with DUI manslaughter.

 

  1. Seahawks: C/G Max Unger, Oregon **

 

The Seahawks need lineman who can fit their new zone-blocking scheme. Offensive tackle is a bigger need but a huge reach for the players available, so the Seahawks bolster the inside of the line.

 

  1. Bengals: C Eric Wood, Louisville

 

The Bengals continue to try and build a wall around Carson Palmer. Wood has the ability to block against the nose tackles in their division.

 

  1. Jaguars: FS Louis Delmas, Western Michigan

 

The Jaguars need someone at the position so that Brian Williams can return to corner.

 

  1. Raiders: WR Percy Harvin, Florida

 

Jevon Walker was a bust.

 

The one route Harvin ran with no issues at all at Florida was the go route.

 

  1. Packers: DE/OLB Larry English, Northern Illinois

 

The Packers need someone who can play in the 3-4 as a pass rushing linebacker.

 

The fact that Aaron Kampman is slotted at linebacker next year shows how desperate the Packers are for someone who can pressure the quarterback from outside linebacker.

 

  1. Bills: OLB/DE Clint Sintim, Virginia

 

The Bills need some depth at outside linebacker. They continue to get good value with their picks.

 

  1. 49ers: CB D.J. Moore, Vanderbilt

 

The 49ers were picked apart in the secondary last season and will have to find talent at the position before Kurt Warner gets another crack at them.

 

  1. Dolphins: NT Ron Brace, Boston College

 

Bill Parcells knows the Dolphins need a nose tackle desperately. There aren’t too many available and with a big receiver in the stable, the Dolphins can address this big need.

 

  1. Giants: WR Brian Robiskie, Ohio State

 

The Giants need a tall receiver to catch the jump balls Eli Manning loves to throw. Robiskie has the size down.

 

  1. Texans: RB Donald Brown, UConn

 

Houston has been looking for a tough, between the tackles back since they became a franchise. Brown can be that guy to complement Steve Slaton.

 

  1. Patriots: SS Patrick Chung, Oregon

 

Rodney Harrison won’t be around for much longer.
