Pick No. 17, Minnesota Vikings. Picking for the Vikings, Andrew K.

The Pick: Derrick Harvey, DE, Florida

 

Andrew K:  The Vikings select Derrick Harvey of Florida. They need to help the pass defense, and they should do that by picking up a premier defensive end. It's hard to stop the pass when the quarterback has 10 seconds to pass the ball...

Rob C:  I like him. Don't know how good a pick.

Scott S:  Dominated OSU in championship game.

David W:  Sure did.

John F:  He's good.

SeanMC:  Did the Vikings even have a sack last year?

John F:  Keep it clean...

Rob C:  Nobody ran on them.

 

Pick No. 18, Houston Texans. Picking for the Texans, the invisible Aron. Playing the roll of Aron, Sean C!

The Pick: Jonathan Stewart, RB, Oregon

 

SeanMC:  With the 18th pick in the draft, the Houston Texans select Jonathan Stewart, RB, Oregon. May he bulldoze the Colts for years and years to come.

Andrew K:  Good pick. Green isn't the answer right now.

SeanMC:  Green might have been the answer ten years ago.

Scott S:  Stewart is great, big back with speed and quick feet.

David W:  Stewart may be the most complete back in the NFL draft. He's got a great combination of strength and speed.  Mendenhall may be a little better in some people's opinions, but they are about equals.

Kevan L:  Hopefully Stewart can become the RB that everyone wanted the Texans to have a few years ago when Bush was available.

SeanMC:  Hopefully he's better than Bush. Bush is the most overrated player in professional sports.

 

Pick No. 19, Philadelphia Eagles. Picking for the Eagles, David W.

The Pick: Devin Thomas, WR, Michigan St.

 

David W:  I'll go through my logic here.  Their offensive linemen are getting old, so Chris Williams could be the guy.  Lito Sheppard is on his way out, so Rodgers-Cromartie could be the guy.  BUT, Devin Thomas is my pick.  They need a wide receiver.

SeanMC:  They REALLY need a WR.  Badly.

Kevan L:  Good pick, even though rookie WRs don't usually have much impact.

David W:  He has the highest boom or bust potential though.

Andrew K:  I agree. Nice pick.

John F:  Tampa wanted him...

Rob C:  I don't like him this high, but what the hell do I know. I drafted DeSean.

SeanMC:  As will Al Davis, Rob.

David W:  Jenkins, Albert, Williams, KENNY PHILLIPS still on the board

 

Pick No. 20, Tampa Bay Buccaneers. Picking for the Bucs, Scott S.

The Pick: Mike Jenkins, CB, South Florida

 

Scott S:  With D. Thomas and DeSean off the board, I am forced to go with South Florida corner Mike Jenkins.

SeanMC:  I'm not a big Jenkins fan. Not sure he does anything well enough to be a first-rounder.

Scott S:  He'll probably go top 10 though.

Kevan L:  The Bucs were criticized for having an old defense, so this should help.

Rob C:  I agree, but if he was converted to safety, I'd like him more.

Andrew K:  Sweed could be another possibility here

Rob C:  The Bucs have 6 QBs and one old receiver.

 

Pick No. 21, Washington Redskins. Picking for the Redskins, Sean C.

The Pick:  Kenny Phillips, S, Miami
