Jacksonville would love to draft a defensive end, but all the elite ones have been taken. They might just trade up to Buffalo's spot so they could have a chance at Harvey or Merling.
If they stay with the 26th pick, however, I think they will stay focused on the defensive line in order to lighten the load of Marcus Stroad. They could also draft a receiver with this pick.
27. San Diego Chargers - Anthony Collins, OT, Kansas
The Bolts will probably trade down, as they will have to make a reach with this pick. Collins shouldn't really be a first-rounder, but San Diego can't draft anybody else.
Kenny Phillips or Reggie Smith are options, but they are unlikely because of Clinton Hart's extension.
28. Dallas Cowboys - Aqib Talib, CB, Kansas
The Cowboys' secondary is very old. They would jump at the chance to draft Talib with this 28th pick. Talib's stock has greatly dropped thanks to his weed smoking.
As I said before, Dallas needs a receiver as well. They will grab one in the later rounds.
29. San Francisco 49ers - Quentin Groves, DE, Auburn
The 49ers have the worst receivers in the NFL, and it will be tempting for them to dip into second-tier talent with this pick. Early Doucet may be tempting here, but it would be a huge reach.
I think the 49ers will either trade this pick or select Groves.
30. Green Bay Packers - Tracy Porter, CB, Indiana
Green Bay doesn't have very many weaknesses this year, assuming Aaron Rodgers can effectively play at quarterback. Not only is Porter the best available player at this point, but he would fill a hole for the Packers.
Al Harris will be 34, and Charles Woodson will be 32 by December. They need a young corner to help them out.
31. New York Giants - Kenny Phillips, FS, Miami
New York needs to find a replacement for Gibril Wilson, who played a huge role in the Giants Super Bowl victory over the Patriots.
They can find their other needs, linebacker and safety, later in the draft.
