22.    Philadelphia Eagles—Eben Britton; Offensive Tackle, Arizona

Britton is a great offensive tackle prospect, and the Eagles could no doubt use his help.  Philly's rushing offense is ranked 22nd in the NFL, and with Brian Westbrook in the fold that number is sure to be inaccurate of what their potential is.

23.    Minnesota Vikings—Jason Smith; Offensive Tackle, Baylor

Vikings fans are probably calling for a quarterback or wide receiver here, but offensive tackle is the final verdict for a team that can't pass protect to save their lives.  Smith has the potential to be a dominant left tackle in this league, and the Vikes desperately need his services.

24.    New England Patriots—D.J. Moore; Cornerback, Vanderbilt

The Patriots had to figure they were going to miss Asante Samuel, and it showed this season.  Despite being 11-5 and without their star quarterback, the Patriots missed the playoffs.  Moore is a great cover corner and has the potential to be a superstar on this team.

25.    Atlanta Falcons—B.J. Raji; Defensive Tackle, Boston College

Jonathan Babineaux is quietly becoming one of the better young defensive tackles in the league, and Raji would be an excellent compliment.  I could also see the Falcons going after a safety here, but there are none worth the risk with this high of a selection.

26.    Miami Dolphins—Darrius Heyward-Bey; Wide Receiver, Maryland

While I could see the Dolphins upgrading their secondary here, this is a fairly weak class of DB's and Heyward-Bey is a big play receiver who would compliment Ted Ginn Jr. very well.

27.    Baltimore Ravens—Victor Harris; Cornerback, Virginia Tech

It's hard to imagine the Ravens actually going defense with this pick, but their corners aren't getting any younger, and Harris could be an excellent long-term replacement for one of them. 

28.    Philadelphia Eagles (from Carolina)—Jermaine Gresham; Tight End, Oklahoma

It was rumored that Philly was interested in Kellen Winslow prior to the trade deadline, so it wouldn't be surprising to see them go with a tight end early in this draft.  Also, I think they could package their two first rounders to try and trade up for a prime time offensive tackle.

29.    Indianapolis Colts—Sen'Derrick Marks; Defensive Tackle, Auburn

The Colts' defensive line is horrific outside of their pass rushing specialists at defensive end.  Marks is an up and coming prospect who could help ease some of those pains up front, and he fits the scheme well.

30.    Pittsburgh Steelers—Duke Robinson; Offensive Guard, Oklahoma

Ben Roethlisberger has eaten turf more than any other quarterback I watched this season.  Max Starks is leaving via free agency, and Robinson would be an excellent replacement.  He is absolutely massive, and anchors the best offensive line in the nation.

31.    Tennessee Titans—George Selvie; Defensive End, South Florida

Selvie has been one of the top pass rushers in the college game the last two seasons, and Tennessee's starting ends are getting older.  Not only could he be a good long term solution, he would also probably step into the starting role.

32.    New York Giants—Brian Cushing; Outside Linebacker, USC

This would be so typical of the Giants.  Stealing a defensive playmaker late in the first round.  Cushing may very well be the best outside backer in the draft, and the Giants could use his services.
