McKelvin is a better value at this point than Malcolm Kelly and fills a need. Not to mention, he has added value as a return man, but they already have Roscoe Parrish, but who says you can't have two good return men?
12. Denver: Chris Williams, OT, Vanderbilt
Wouldn't this be pretty convenient...Williams played with Cutler in college, now he gets his chance to protect his blindside in the pros? Who saw this coming?
13. Carolina: Jeff Otah, OT, Pittsburgh
They still have a void at the tackle position, and Otah would make sense because he would open up holes for DeAngelo Williams and the running back the Panthers will probably take in the second or third round.
14. Chicago: Rashard Mendenhall, HB, Illinois
Jerry Angelo would love to move back from this spot because of all the tackles gone, but in the end, this is a win-win situation. Mendenhall gets to stay in his home state and would really be a catalyst to the Bears' sputtering offense. Look for them to go with a tackle in round 2.
15. Detroit: Dominique Rodgers-Cromartie, CB, Tennessee State
This would be a tremendous pick for the Lions, who clearly don't have a clear-cut No. 1 CB. This seems like the right fit in terms of his value; I don't think he's a top 10 player.
16. Arizona: Antoine Cason, CB, Arizona
Reach? I don't think so. Cason is the most underrated CB in the draft in my eyes. He's a complete player who competed at a very high level in college and should develop into a solid corner in the pros. His game speed is better than expected, but he will need to work on his strength and work at the line of scrimmage.
Minnesota trades the #17 pick to the Kansas City Chiefs for DE Jared Allen.
17. Kansas City: Mike Jenkins, CB, South Florida
The Chiefs have been looking to move Allen, who is unhappy in Kansas City. They find a suitor who is willing to give up a first round pick so they can implement a new, young corner to learn behind Surtain.
18. Houston: Kenny Phillips, S, Miami
I don't think this is a reach at all; he's the most complete safety in a weak class, that's all. He is great in coverage and comes up and plays the run well.
19. Philadelphia: DeSean Jackson, WR, California
It seems odd that he's the first receiver off the board, but he's so explosive with the ball in his hands and after the catch.
20. Tampa Bay: Aqib Talib, CB, Kansas
I don't think the latest scandal about marijuana with Talib is that big of a deal...it happened, and it's time to move on. He needs some refinement on his technique, but he can be great in Kiffin's Tampa-2 defense.
21. Washington: Devin Thomas, WR, Michigan State
Thomas is a great blend of size, speed, and athleticism. He had a great junior year, but that was about it in college. Could his best football be ahead of him? I think so.
22. Dallas: Limas Sweed, WR, Texas
