Despite an improbable playoff run this season the Redskins holes are obvious.  Help in the secondary is needed to fill the massive void left by the untimely death of All-Pro Sean Taylor. An outside pass-rusher would also suffice for the 'Skins.  In the end the talent of Limas Sweed will be too much to pass up.  Sweed was a standout in his junior season, seen by many as the top receiver in the country before an untimely wrist injury cut his season short. At 100% the 6-5 Sweed may be viewed as the best receiving prospect in this draft, ahead of Kelly and Jackson, who could provide a strong possession receiver for Jason Campbell.

22.  Dallas Cowboys - Domanique Rogers-Cromartie, CB - Tennessee State

When the 'Boys received Cleveland's 1st round pick last year it was expected to be a much higher selection than this.  In the 2003 draft Jerry Jones had the final say on taking a corner named Terrance Newman.  With the success of that pick the owner would love to put another star across the field from him.  Rogers-Cromartie raised his stock exponentially in the senior bowl and has the tools to remind fans of his older cousin, 2007 NFL interception leader Antonio Cromartie.

23.  Pittsburgh Steelers - Sam Baker, OT - USC

Perhaps one of the biggest slips of the first round, the 6-5 300 pound Baker would fit great into the Steelers system.  With an aging line Baker would be able to learn from proven players within the strong system.  With plenty of receivers out there it will be interesting to see if the Steelers fulfill Big Ben's request for another playmaker.

24.  Tennessee Titans - Calais Campbell, DE - Miami

Everyone knows players the likes of Early Doucet or Mario Manningham would answer the fans' desire for a receiver to complement Vince Young.  But Campbell here would provide the force alongside Albert Haynesworth to strengthen an already outstanding defensive unit.

25.  Seattle Seahawks - Rashard Mendenhall, RB - Illinois

A classic case of a team building for the future.  With the engine wearing down on workhorse Shaun Alexander, the Seahawks would gladly bring Mendenhall to the Northwest.  Seattle is talented across the board and being able to work Mendenhall in with Alexander could progress his talent even more from his 1600 yard 17 touchdown season in his junior year with the Illini

26.  Jacksonville Jaguars - Phillip Merling, DE - Clemson

If Campbell begins to slip, the Jaguars could be salivating while waiting for their chance on the clock.  Merling is a strong end from Clemson who could fill nicely into the rotation along the D-Line with the aging Paul Spicer.  Another interesting suggestion could be the multiple receivers on the board here.  With former first rounders Matt Jones and Reggie Williams alongside Ernest Wilford it would be tough for the Jags to make that stretch.

27.  San Diego Chargers - Kentwan Balmer, DT - North Carolina

Aside from the New England Patriots, the Chargers possess some of the best talent on both sides of the football.  Balmer is an exceptionally strong run stuffer who could fit great into the rotation of the Chargers 3-4 scheme when Jamal Williams needs a breather.  Think of an interior lineman such as Vince Wilfork.

28.  Dallas Cowboys - Felix Jones, RB - Arkansas

I can't force myself away from my own comparisions of McFadden-Jones to Ronnie Brown-Carnell Williams.  This is another situation where you have a two-headed backfield in college in which the teams had a HUGE luxury.  Jones is similar to Brown in that his finest skills have not been on display at the college level.  With Julius Jones likely to trade in his uniform in the offseason, Felix Jones could fit perfectly as a speed back replacement along side bruiser Marion Barber.

29.  San Francisco 49ers - Mario Manningham, WR - Michigan

 The view would look a lot better from the seventh overall spot, where the Patriots have a firm grasp on the Niners pick. I think my Michigan roots are showing here as  I'm up in the air between Manningham and LSU receiver Early Doucet.  Manningham displayed outstanding playmaking abilities in the Maize-and-blue that had fans quickly forgetting Braylon Edwards.  When the Niners' best receiver last year was former Notre Dame signal-caller Arnaz Battle, I don't see how they ignore this pressing need.

30. Green Bay Packers -  Leodis McKlevin, CB - Troy

If you asked me around Week Eight, you would have seen me ripping out hair for the Packers to go for my Wolverine Mike Hart.  Little did I know the Pack would strike gold in the form of Ryan Grant, a back who reminds me a lot of Hart.  Now with this pick the Pack would be smart to bolster an already strong secondary with McKlevin a little-known prospect out of a small school. He possesses the speed to fill in for Al Harris or Charles Woodson seamlessly.

31. New York Giants - Chris Williams, OT - Vanderbilt

A month ago anyone could have picked apart the holes in this team.  A few improbable weeks later they look like a well-oiled machine.  The linebacking corps could an upgrade but with the choices thin I see the Giants closing out the first round by bolstering a solid but aging offensive line with a strong tackle in Williams.  Williams held his own in the toughest conference in the country and should be able to do the same at the pro level.

There you have it, just plug thess guys into your team's roster right now!  It's set in stone as everyone knows how easily an NFL draft could be predicted three months ahead of time.  On a serious note, expect plenty of revisions as draft day nears.  Enjoy your Super Sunday.
