1.32 - Max Unger, OG/C, Oregon Played all over the O-line as a Duck and excelled everywhere. Helped Dennis Dixon morph into a star QB in college. Hey, we happen to have Dixon on our roster, imagine that!
-- Alex Mack, C, Cal Lost out by a nose to Unger due only to positional flexibility. Widely regarded as the best pure Center in this draft class.
-- Eric Wood, OG/C, Louisville The consolation prize any team would gladly "settle" for. One of the best interior line prospects at getting to to the second level of defense with a head of steam.
2.64 - Troy Kopog, T, Tulane Helped pave the way for 2008 workhorse Matt Forte. Equally adept at run and pass blocking. Notably talented at expanding the pocket by steering speed rushers farther outside.
-- Andy Levitre, OG, Oregon St. Intelligent technician at either Guard spot. Has also lined up at left tackle.
-- Jairus Byrd, CB, Oregon Son of former all-pro CB Gill Byrd has the size (6'0", 205) to stick with the new breed of giant wideouts and is a willing run supporter. 17 career INT's in only 3 years.
3.96 - Sherrod Martin, CB/S, Troy Played Safety in college but has the cover skills and speed to lock up receivers on the outside and in the slot. Product of the same pipeline that produced DeMarcus Ware, Osi Umenyiora, and Leodis McKelvin.
-- T.J. Lang, OT/OG, Eastern Michigan Tough and powerful, his skillset may project inside but he's been very productive at left tackle.
-- Kraig Urbik, G, Wisconsin 6'5", 320.. knocks lineman clean into next week.. versatile enough to project as a right tackle.. Yep, sounds like a Wisconsin lineman to me.
4.132 - Sammie Lee Hill, DT, Stillman Huge man from a small school with giant potential. Virtual clone of Hampton and is prototypically sized to anchor a 3-4 front.
-- Brandon Gibson, WR, Washington St. Inconsistency at QB somewhat deflated his production. Solid Senior Bowl week. Similar size as Hines Ward and also likes to block downfield. I'm sold!
5.168 - DeAngelo Smith, CB, Cincinnati Picked off 8 balls in 2007 as a CB, then accepted a switch to Safety last year. Versatility is a plus, as he also brings return ability.
-- Clinton McDonald, DE, Memphis Converted LB notched 7 sacks from the DT position for the Tigers in 2008. Possesses the size (6'2", 289) to slide to DE in our scheme.
5.169 - Mitch King, DE, Iowa Another converted LB who turned in one of the fastest 40 times at the Combine for D-Lineman. Undersized for DT, he would also project outside in a 3-4 front.
-- Jeremiah Johnson, RB, Oregon Really shined after replacing the departed Jonathan Stewart last season (1,200 yds, 13 TD's, 7.1 ypc). Smaller, scatback type who flashes receiving and return skills.
6.205 - Sammie Stroughter, WR, Oregon St. Recovered from a well-publicized bout with clinical depression after multiple tragedies in his personal life to sport a 1,000 yard season. Poor man's Steve Smith would likely be a primary kickoff and punt returner if he lasts this long.
-- Chris Ogbonnaya, RB, Texas Gives a coordinator a ton of flexibility in that he's big enough to be a goal-line ballcarrier or lead blocker, and also has the hands of a 3rd down specialist out of the backfield.
7.226 - Roger Allen, OG, Missouri Western Developmental guy with the raw size and athleticism to be a late-round find from a small program.
--Tiquan Underwood, WR, Rutgers Hands will need some work at this level, but not many 6'1" wideouts with 4.4 speed with an 1,100 yard season under their belts will be available at this point.
7.241 - Willie Tuitama, QB, Arizona Improved production incrementally over his college career and displays the calm, patient demeanor needed in a backup who will likely only be called on to manage the game.
-- Marlon Favorite, DT, LSU Displays quickness in the trenches needed to tie up more than one blocker. Rotational lineman in college and spelled the likes of Glenn Dorsey and Ricky-Jean Francois.
