Chung will be a nice replacement.

 

  1. Broncos: DT/DE Fila Moala, USC **

 

Denver is basically rebuilding the entire defensive line. Moala’s versatility is perfect for them.

 

  1. Bears: WR Hakeem Nicks, North Carolina

 

The Bears need a polished receiver to start right away and give Jay Cutler a good target.

 

Getting Nicks at this point is absolute robbery.

 

  1. Browns: CB/S Alphonso Smith, Wake Forest

 

The Browns are going to need someone to play free safety.

 

It’s likely Brandon McDonald will be slotted there, so the Browns need to replace his value at corner.

 

  1. Cowboys: WR/QB Pat White, West Virginia **

 

The Cowboys need a “sexy” pick to generate buzz for their new stadium. They are thinking of running wildcat type plays next year.

 

They are also looking for a backup for Tony Romo.

 

White could end up being two picks in one.

 

  1. Jets: WR Derrick Williams, Penn State

 

The Jets need to replace Laveranues Coles and get someone who can eventually become a starter.

 

Williams should fill in nicely. There isn’t any other position of need where the value fits the pick, so the Jets should go receiver here.

 

  1. Eagles: DE Jarron Gilbert, San Jose State

 

The Eagles look at this kid jumping out of the pool and see Jevon Kearse all over again.

 

  1. Vikings: WR Juaquin Iglesias, Oklahoma

 

The Vikings need a good complement across from Bernard Berrian. Iglesias is the type of receiver they need.

 

  1. Falcons: SS William Moore, Missouri

 

With the acquisition of Tony Gonzales, the Falcons no longer need a tight end early on.

 

They do need to replace Lawyer Milloy.

 

  1. Dolphins: OLB Tyrone McKenzie, South Florida

 

The Dolphins need an outside linebacker prospect to groom and McKenzie is the type of player Parcells and company can cultivate into a starter a year from now.

 

  1. Ravens: TE Jared Cook, South Carolina

 

The Ravens need a successor to Todd Heap.
