13. Carolina Panthers - Jeff Otah, OT - Pittsburgh
The Panthers, despite a quiet season have an envious dilemma. With tackles Travelle Wharton and Jordan Gross eligible for free agency, it is unlikely they can retain both. Otah is a very raw tackle whose 6-6 335 pound frame give him the strength to overpower opposing defensive ends. A prospect with huge potential and upside could possibly allow Carolina to seamlessly move to a potent offense with the return of Jake Delhomme and emergence of DeAngelo Williams.
14. Chicago Bears - Andre Woodson, QB - Kentucky
Despite their standout defense being exposed in 2007, the biggest hole in the Windy City is the quarterback possession. The Bears have the chance to cut ties with Rex Grossman, and both Brian Griese and Kyle Orton have not proven to be any more of a solution. Chicago's front office may feel the pressure of the fans to take the last of the big three quarterbacks on the board here. Woodson was a Heisman candidate mid-season before the Wildcats collapse. With Cedric Benson struggling the Bears could make a splash by taking Oregon back Jonathon Stewart.
15. Detroit Lions - Mike Jenkins, CB - South Florida
Perennially one of the worst drafting teams in the league, the Lions are left with many holes from top to bottom. The grumblings from the fans are for an improved offensive line and while tackles like Sam Baker and Ryan Clady are available, the Lions would have a hard time turning away top ten talent in Jenkins. Reeling since trading Dre Bly for next to nothing, Jenkins could start immediately for the Lions opposite Fernando Bryant.
16. Arizona Cardinals - Jonathon Stewart, RB - Oregon
With Edgerrin James losing his edge since migrating to the desert, the up-and-coming Cardinals would most likely salivate over Stewart. A shifty back with vision in the open field, built in the mold of the man he would succeed in Arizona, Stewart could be a great fit in an offense with the tools to dominate the NFC.
17. Minnesota Vikings - Kenny Phillips, S - Miami
The Vikings look very strong on paper here aside from Tarvaris Jackson, have strong lines on each side of the ball, solid linebackers, a shutdown corner, and the league's best young weapon in AP (or All-Day). That said, there are multiple possibilities such as a corner opposite Antoine Winfield, or a deep threat such as DeSean Jackson. However, Phillips has great value here to play and learn beside season veteran Darren Sharper in the waning years of his career.
18. Houston Texans - Reggie Smith, CB - Oklahoma
The Texans suffer from playing in a division in which their most promising season goes to waste. Houston suffered injury troubles throughout the year to many of their star players. Smith would provide speed to go opposite Dunta Robinson while also supporting with help against the run.
19. Philadelphia Eagles - DeSean Jackson, WR - California
Next to McFadden and Dorsey, Jackson potentially has the most talent in this draft. Despite their aging players around the depth chart, Philly still has a pressing need for a big-time playmaker to keep Donovan McNabb performing at his best. Despite the line being exposed this season, especially in the early season meeting with the Giants, Jackson's 4.4 speed and ability to beat the defense should be too much for the Eagles to pass up.
20. Tampa Bay Buccaneers - Ryan Clady, OT - Boise State
One of the pleasant surprises in the NFC this year, the Bucs road the coattails of the ageless Jeff Garcia to an NFC South title. Heading into next season, the need gets deeper to replace defensive stalwarts Derrick Brooks and Ronde Barber. However, Clady possesses the size and athleticism here that Tampa Bay could plug in to open holes for Earnest Graham.
