USC's Jarrett drops seven spots
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
By Todd McShay
Scouts Inc.
Despite growing speculation that Georgia Tech WR Calvin Johnson has moved to the top of the Raiders' draft board, JaMarcus Russell remains the No. 1 pick in my mock draft. The only change in the first round involves a pair of wide receivers. USC's Dwayne Jarrett falls from No. 23 to No. 30, trading places with Tennessee's Robert Meachem.
Here is my complete seven-round mock draft.
+ -- Underclassman
1. Oakland Raiders (2-14)
Projected pick: +JaMarcus Russell, QB, LSU
Needs: QB, DT, OT/G, TE, WR, LB, CB, RB
It seems owner Al Davis' captivation with WR Calvin Johnson grows with each passing day. If the Raiders can talk the Lions into a deal for veteran QB Josh McCown, it will free Davis to pull the trigger on Johnson with the No. 1 overall pick. Until then, Russell makes the most sense for a team loaded with talented wide receivers (Randy Moss, Jerry Porter and Ronald Curry) but with nobody to get them the ball.
2. Detroit (3-13)
Projected pick: Gaines Adams, DE, Clemson
Needs: QB, ILB, CB, TE, S, WR, C, DT, DE
The Lions hold the keys to the entire top of the draft, but the aforementioned McCown trade could throw the entire top of the board into flux and rob the Lions of their trade value at No. 2. The Buccaneers are rumored to be interested, but only if Johnson is still on the board. Assuming, for these purposes, Russell goes No. 1 to the Raiders, the Lions should strike a deal to move down at least two spots and get a better value for Adams, who is the top pass-rushing talent in the 2007 class.
3. Cleveland (4-12)
Projected pick: +Adrian Peterson, RB, Oklahoma
Needs: CB, QB, RB, LOT, DL, S, OLB, WR
The Browns would love to land Russell with this pick. If he's gone, GM Phil Savage will have a tough decision between Peterson and QB Brady Quinn. Although Savage and his staff still are debating the subject, there are rumblings that they are leaning toward Peterson. Recently signed free-agent RB Jamal Lewis has loads of mileage on his legs, and the team signed him to just a one-year deal. The veteran back could split carries with Peterson, which would give the rookie a year to get acclimated before turning him loose as the full-time starter in 2008.
4. Tampa Bay (4-12)
Projected pick: +Calvin Johnson, WR, Georgia Tech
Needs: WR, DT, S, DE, CB, OT, RB, TE
The Bucs are reportedly already in discussions with the Lions to trade up if Johnson is on the board at No. 2 overall. Coach Jon Gruden must be salivating at the possibility of working with a dynamic playmaker like Johnson. A side note: If the Buccaneers can't land Johnson, they'll look to bail out of this pick.
5. Arizona (5-11)
Projected pick: Joe Thomas, OT, Wisconsin
Needs: OT, WLB, CB, DT, DE, TE, S, P
This is the best-case scenario for a Cardinals team in desperate need of an upgrade at offensive tackle. Thomas is the premier offensive line talent in the 2007 class, and he's ready to start immediately.
6. Washington (5-11)
Projected pick: Amobi Okoye, DT, Louisville
Needs: DT, DE, G, S, CB, WR, OLB, QB, TE
After setting a franchise record with only 19 sacks in 2006, the Redskins must upgrade their pass rush. Assuming Adams is no longer on the board, Okoye becomes the next-best option. The 19-year-old has bulked up to 300-plus pounds and recently ran the 40 in the 4.8-second range at an on-campus workout.
7. Minnesota (6-10)
Projected pick: Brady Quinn, QB, Notre Dame
Needs: WR, DE, CB, TE, C/G, QB, DT, RB
There are conflicting reports coming out of Minnesota regarding the Vikings' interest in Quinn. Although they still like the potential of QB Tarvaris Jackson (last year's second-round pick), it would be awfully difficult to pass on Quinn if he slips to No. 7. Also, don't be surprised if the Vikings use Quinn as bait to trade out of this pick, especially with the Dolphins sitting just a couple of spots below them.
8. Atlanta (7-9)
(from Houston)
Projected pick: LaRon Landry, S, LSU
Needs: S, DE, OT, CB, G, DT, RB, PK, MLB, QB
OT Levi Brown is a possibility, especially with new head coach Bobby Petrino looking to get bigger and more physical along the offensive line. However, Landry is the more highly rated prospect at a position of equal need. A four-year starter in the SEC, Landry should be ready to start immediately in the NFL.
9. Miami (6-10)
Projected pick: Levi Brown, OT, Penn State
Needs: OT/G, QB, DL, CB, TE, WR, S, RB, LB, C
The Dolphins might consider moving up if Quinn begins to fall. Otherwise, expect them to take the best offensive or defensive lineman available at No. 9. Brown, who is this draft's second-rated offensive tackle behind Thomas, has the size and mobility to solidify the Dolphins' left tackle position for years to come.
10. Houston (6-10)
(from Atlanta)
Projected pick: Leon Hall, CB, Michigan
Needs: CB, WR, S, DT, OLB, DE, OT, RB
The Texans need to find a quality starter opposite Dunta Robinson, and Hall is the top-rated cornerback in this year's class. Also to consider: If the Browns don't take Peterson at No. 3 overall, he could slip to the Texans at No. 10. Houston has more pressing needs after signing veteran RB Ahman Green, but it would be awfully tough to pass on Peterson -- especially one year after passing on Reggie Bush (Saints).
11. San Francisco (7-9)
Projected pick: +Alan Branch, DT, Michigan
Needs: DT/DE, OLB, S, OT, WR, RB, ILB, TE, FB, C/G
Instead of reaching for WR Ted Ginn Jr., the 49ers should use this pick to bolster their defensive front. Branch is slipping on many teams' boards because of fears about his inconsistent motor and potential for weight issues. But if the 323-pounder is still on the board at No. 11, it could prove a worthwhile risk for the ascending 49ers.
12. Buffalo (7-9)
Projected pick: Patrick Willis, ILB, Mississippi
Needs: RB, CB, OLB, TE, DT, FB, WR, ILB, FS
It's too high to take a chance on RB Marshawn Lynch, and Hall should be off the board already. That's why, in this scenario, the Bills should address a lesser need by taking Willis, who ranks as the premier linebacker prospect in the 2007 class. Willis has the workout numbers to match his production as a three-year starter in the SEC.
13. St. Louis (8-8)
Projected pick: +Jamaal Anderson, DE, Arkansas
Needs: DT, DE, LB, CB, RB, G/C, WR, S
The Rams will focus on defense early in the draft. With Branch and Okoye off the board, there isn't an ideal fit at defensive tackle. Taking Anderson would make a great deal of sense, as he has the size and agility to emerge as an impact full-time starter in the future. As a rookie, Anderson could rotate with newly acquired James Hall at the end spot opposite Leonard Little.
14. Carolina (8-8)
Projected pick: +Greg Olsen, TE, Miami
Needs: TE, S, ILB, DE, OT, WR, OLB, DE
The Panthers could use this pick to address needs at safety (Reggie Nelson and Michael Griffin) or linebacker (Lawrence Timmons and Paul Posluszny), but Olsen is the best fit if Willis is off the board. Olsen is the only first-round talent in this year's tight end class and has the speed to take pressure off WRs Steve Smith and Keyshawn Johnson.
15. Pittsburgh (8-8)
Projected pick: +Lawrence Timmons, OLB, Florida State
Needs: OLB, G, DE, CB, RB, WR, C, ILB, TE, FB
The Steelers need to address their outside linebacker situation early in this year's draft. Although Posluszny and DE/OLB Jarvis Moss are possibilities, Timmons seems to make the most sense as new head coach Mike Tomlin makes the transition from a 3-4 to a 4-3 defensive alignment. Timmons can provide some pass-rushing production in the team's current 3-4 system, but he projects as a better fit as a weakside linebacker in the 4-3 scheme.
16. Green Bay (8-8)
Projected pick: +Marshawn Lynch, RB, Cal
Needs: RB, S, TE, WR, DT, CB, OLB, G
The Packers are in desperate need of offensive playmakers. QB Brett Favre could help maximize Lynch's explosiveness and versatility if they're working in the same backfield in 2007.
17. Jacksonville (8-8)
Projected pick: Adam Carriker, DE, Nebraska
Needs: S, DE, QB, OLB, WR, CB, DT, MLB, TE, G, P
The Jaguars could use this pick on a better pure pass-rusher or on a safety like Nelson, but Carriker is the better value in this scenario. At 296 pounds, Carriker has the size, strength, quickness and technique to develop into a quality every-down starter at the next level.
18. Cincinnati (8-8)
Projected pick: +Darrelle Revis, CB, Pittsburgh
Needs: CB, DT, OLB, TE, S, OT, WR, DE, QB
The Bengals are likely to use this pick on the best defensive player available, particularly at cornerback, defensive tackle or outside linebacker. Revis' outstanding workout at Pittsburgh's pro day last month helped solidify his standing in the mid-to-late first-round range. Revis is instinctive in zone coverage, supports the run effectively and has value as a potential punt-return specialist.
19. Tennessee (8-8)
Projected pick: +Ted Ginn Jr., WR, Ohio State
Needs: WR, RB, CB, DE, DT, MLB, G/O, S, OLB, QB
The Titans would be elated if Ginn slipped to them at No. 19. Ginn has the speed to stretch the field vertically for QB Vince Young, who needs more weapons to work with on the perimeter. The Titans would benefit from Ginn's world-class speed in the return game, as well.
20. N.Y. Giants (8-8)
Projected pick: Paul Posluszny, LB, Penn State
Needs: OLB, CB, OT, DT, WR, RB, TE, G/C, P, PK, ILB
The Giants' biggest need is at the outside linebacker position, so Posluszny is a perfect match at No. 20 overall. The career tackles leader at "Linebacker U.," Posluszny is instinctive, quick and tough enough to take over as a starter immediately.
21. Denver (9-7)
Projected pick: +Jarvis Moss, DE/OLB, Florida
Needs: DE, WR, S, OT, DT, MLB, RB, CB
The Broncos solidified their secondary by trading for Dre' Bly, who will start opposite Champ Bailey. Drafting a pass-rushing threat such as Moss would be the next step toward fixing a pass defense that ranked 21st in 2006.
22. Dallas (9-7)
Projected pick: Dwayne Bowe, WR, LSU
Needs: CB, WR, OT, DE, PK, C, S, NT, ILB, OLB
The Cowboys would have to consider a cornerback such as Aaron Ross or offensive tackle Joe Staley, but Bowe is a better prospect at another position of need. The 6-foot-2, 222-pound wideout displays the size, agility and playmaking skills to develop into a quality starter at the next level. As a rookie in 2007, Bowe could serve as an excellent third option behind aging veterans Terrell Owens and Terry Glenn.
23. Kansas City (9-7)
Projected pick: +Robert Meachem, WR, Tennessee
Needs: WR, OT, DT, CB, DE, QB, G, FB, LB, C
Although he might never be a pure No. 1 receiver in the NFL, Meachem has the speed and playmaking skills to take attention away from RB Larry Johnson and TE Tony Gonzalez. If Kansas City doesn't go with a wide receiver, it could find a similar value at cornerback with Ross, offensive tackle with Staley or defensive tackle with Justin Harrell.
24. New England (12-4) (from Seattle)
Projected pick: Aaron Ross, CB/RS, Texas
Needs: ILB, S, CB, OLB, RB, OT, QB, P, NT
The Patriots never act as if they're handcuffed by needs during draft weekend, but the Asante Samuel situation should increase their interest in this year's cornerback crop. Ross lacks ideal man-to-man cover skills, but he has the size, instincts and playmaking ability to emerge as a difference-maker in the type of zone-heavy defensive scheme the Patriots run. Ross also can help in the return game, which adds to his value.
25. N.Y. Jets (10-6)
Projected pick: +Chris Houston, CB, Arkansas
Needs: CB, OLB, TE, WR, NT, ILB,C, QB, S
Considering the team's need of an upgrade at cornerback, Houston should be on the Jets' short list of prospects in this scenario. Teams have differing opinions regarding Houston's value. Although he certainly has room to improve in regard to his technique and overall run-support skills, Houston is blessed with outstanding speed, athleticism and upper-body strength.
26. Philadelphia (10-6)
Projected pick: Michael Griffin, S, Texas
Needs: CB, S, DE, OLB, RB, WR, TE, MLB
Although the Eagles certainly could use depth at several different positions, it's hard to find a glaring weakness at any starting spot on their depth chart. One thing is certain: Philly will not be handcuffed by positions of need in this year's draft. With that in mind, Griffin is a good value because he brings experience and versatility to the table after notching 250 tackles in his last two seasons at Texas.
27. New Orleans (10-6)
Projected pick: Justin Harrell, DT, Tennessee
Needs: :CB, LB, DT, WR, TE, DE, G/C, QB
The Saints likely would take a top cornerback should Ross or Houston fall to them at No. 27. However, the team could address another position of need by drafting Harrell, who is one of the late-rising prospects in this year's class for a couple reasons. First, teams are comfortable that he's recovered completely from a torn biceps injury that sidelined him most of his senior season. Second, there isn't enough supply at the defensive tackle position to meet the demand of NFL teams.
28. New England (12-4)
Projected pick: +Reggie Nelson, S, Florida
Griffin would be a better fit if he falls because he's more versatile than Nelson. The team also could use this pick on ILB Jon Beason. But in this scenario, Nelson is the best available option. At 6 feet and 198 pounds, Nelson has very good range and playmaking potential as a center fielder-type free safety. Also remember that coach Bill Belichick loves players from Florida because he has tremendous respect for coach Urban Meyer.
29. Baltimore (13-3)
Projected pick: Joe Staley, OT, Central Michigan
Needs: CB, OT, OLB, ILB, FB, C/G, QB, S, DE
The Ravens will look to target the best available player at cornerback, linebacker or offensive tackle. In this scenario, Staley is the pick. He's a fast-rising prospect with excellent feet and the frame to get bigger/stronger. With Jonathan Ogden threatening to retire, Staley would become the future at left tackle for the Ravens.
30. San Diego (14-2)
Projected pick: +Dwayne Jarrett, WR, USC
Needs: WR, S, ILB, CB, DL, RB, G, OT, OLB, LS
Despite his subpar workout results at USC's recent pro day, Jarrett is one of the top five receivers in this class, and he's enough of a playmaker to exploit defenses when they overcompensate for RB LaDainian Tomlinson and TE Antonio Gates. The team could instead take the best available safety or linebacker with this pick.
31. Chicago (13-3)
Projected pick: +Jon Beason, OLB, Miami
Needs: DT, OLB, WR, TE, RB, OT, QB, S, G
The Bears need to address the outside linebacker position early, even if they fail to trade disgruntled starter Lance Briggs before draft weekend. Beason is a fringe first-rounder with the size, quickness and tackling skills to emerge as a quality starter in the NFL. Durability concerns and lack of ideal range in coverage keep him from competing with Willis, Timmons and Posluszny higher on the board.
32. Indianapolis (12-4)
Projected pick: Anthony Spencer, DE, Purdue
Needs: OLB, DT, ILB, RB, G, CB, WR, OT, QB
The Colts have much bigger needs at linebacker and defensive tackle, but Spencer is their kind of player. Undersized with very good speed and up-the-field playmaking skills, Spencer could be a steal late in the first round if he builds on the progress he made as a senior at Purdue (national-best 26.5 tackles for loss).

USC's Jarrett drops seven spots
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
By Todd McShay
Scouts Inc.
Despite growing speculation that Georgia Tech WR Calvin Johnson has moved to the top of the Raiders' draft board, JaMarcus Russell remains the No. 1 pick in my mock draft. The only change in the first round involves a pair of wide receivers. USC's Dwayne Jarrett falls from No. 23 to No. 30, trading places with Tennessee's Robert Meachem.
Here is my complete seven-round mock draft.
+ -- Underclassman
1. Oakland Raiders (2-14)
Projected pick: +JaMarcus Russell, QB, LSU
Needs: QB, DT, OT/G, TE, WR, LB, CB, RB
It seems owner Al Davis' captivation with WR Calvin Johnson grows with each passing day. If the Raiders can talk the Lions into a deal for veteran QB Josh McCown, it will free Davis to pull the trigger on Johnson with the No. 1 overall pick. Until then, Russell makes the most sense for a team loaded with talented wide receivers (Randy Moss, Jerry Porter and Ronald Curry) but with nobody to get them the ball.
2. Detroit (3-13)
Projected pick: Gaines Adams, DE, Clemson
Needs: QB, ILB, CB, TE, S, WR, C, DT, DE
The Lions hold the keys to the entire top of the draft, but the aforementioned McCown trade could throw the entire top of the board into flux and rob the Lions of their trade value at No. 2. The Buccaneers are rumored to be interested, but only if Johnson is still on the board. Assuming, for these purposes, Russell goes No. 1 to the Raiders, the Lions should strike a deal to move down at least two spots and get a better value for Adams, who is the top pass-rushing talent in the 2007 class.
3. Cleveland (4-12)
Projected pick: +Adrian Peterson, RB, Oklahoma
Needs: CB, QB, RB, LOT, DL, S, OLB, WR
The Browns would love to land Russell with this pick. If he's gone, GM Phil Savage will have a tough decision between Peterson and QB Brady Quinn. Although Savage and his staff still are debating the subject, there are rumblings that they are leaning toward Peterson. Recently signed free-agent RB Jamal Lewis has loads of mileage on his legs, and the team signed him to just a one-year deal. The veteran back could split carries with Peterson, which would give the rookie a year to get acclimated before turning him loose as the full-time starter in 2008.
4. Tampa Bay (4-12)
Projected pick: +Calvin Johnson, WR, Georgia Tech
Needs: WR, DT, S, DE, CB, OT, RB, TE
The Bucs are reportedly already in discussions with the Lions to trade up if Johnson is on the board at No. 2 overall. Coach Jon Gruden must be salivating at the possibility of working with a dynamic playmaker like Johnson. A side note: If the Buccaneers can't land Johnson, they'll look to bail out of this pick.
5. Arizona (5-11)
Projected pick: Joe Thomas, OT, Wisconsin
Needs: OT, WLB, CB, DT, DE, TE, S, P
This is the best-case scenario for a Cardinals team in desperate need of an upgrade at offensive tackle. Thomas is the premier offensive line talent in the 2007 class, and he's ready to start immediately.
6. Washington (5-11)
Projected pick: Amobi Okoye, DT, Louisville
Needs: DT, DE, G, S, CB, WR, OLB, QB, TE
After setting a franchise record with only 19 sacks in 2006, the Redskins must upgrade their pass rush. Assuming Adams is no longer on the board, Okoye becomes the next-best option. The 19-year-old has bulked up to 300-plus pounds and recently ran the 40 in the 4.8-second range at an on-campus workout.
7. Minnesota (6-10)
Projected pick: Brady Quinn, QB, Notre Dame
Needs: WR, DE, CB, TE, C/G, QB, DT, RB
There are conflicting reports coming out of Minnesota regarding the Vikings' interest in Quinn. Although they still like the potential of QB Tarvaris Jackson (last year's second-round pick), it would be awfully difficult to pass on Quinn if he slips to No. 7. Also, don't be surprised if the Vikings use Quinn as bait to trade out of this pick, especially with the Dolphins sitting just a couple of spots below them.
8. Atlanta (7-9)
(from Houston)
Projected pick: LaRon Landry, S, LSU
Needs: S, DE, OT, CB, G, DT, RB, PK, MLB, QB
OT Levi Brown is a possibility, especially with new head coach Bobby Petrino looking to get bigger and more physical along the offensive line. However, Landry is the more highly rated prospect at a position of equal need. A four-year starter in the SEC, Landry should be ready to start immediately in the NFL.
9. Miami (6-10)
Projected pick: Levi Brown, OT, Penn State
Needs: OT/G, QB, DL, CB, TE, WR, S, RB, LB, C
The Dolphins might consider moving up if Quinn begins to fall. Otherwise, expect them to take the best offensive or defensive lineman available at No. 9. Brown, who is this draft's second-rated offensive tackle behind Thomas, has the size and mobility to solidify the Dolphins' left tackle position for years to come.
10. Houston (6-10)
(from Atlanta)
Projected pick: Leon Hall, CB, Michigan
Needs: CB, WR, S, DT, OLB, DE, OT, RB
The Texans need to find a quality starter opposite Dunta Robinson, and Hall is the top-rated cornerback in this year's class. Also to consider: If the Browns don't take Peterson at No. 3 overall, he could slip to the Texans at No. 10. Houston has more pressing needs after signing veteran RB Ahman Green, but it would be awfully tough to pass on Peterson -- especially one year after passing on Reggie Bush (Saints).
11. San Francisco (7-9)
Projected pick: +Alan Branch, DT, Michigan
Needs: DT/DE, OLB, S, OT, WR, RB, ILB, TE, FB, C/G
Instead of reaching for WR Ted Ginn Jr., the 49ers should use this pick to bolster their defensive front. Branch is slipping on many teams' boards because of fears about his inconsistent motor and potential for weight issues. But if the 323-pounder is still on the board at No. 11, it could prove a worthwhile risk for the ascending 49ers.
12. Buffalo (7-9)
Projected pick: Patrick Willis, ILB, Mississippi
Needs: RB, CB, OLB, TE, DT, FB, WR, ILB, FS
It's too high to take a chance on RB Marshawn Lynch, and Hall should be off the board already. That's why, in this scenario, the Bills should address a lesser need by taking Willis, who ranks as the premier linebacker prospect in the 2007 class. Willis has the workout numbers to match his production as a three-year starter in the SEC.
13. St. Louis (8-8)
Projected pick: +Jamaal Anderson, DE, Arkansas
Needs: DT, DE, LB, CB, RB, G/C, WR, S
The Rams will focus on defense early in the draft. With Branch and Okoye off the board, there isn't an ideal fit at defensive tackle. Taking Anderson would make a great deal of sense, as he has the size and agility to emerge as an impact full-time starter in the future. As a rookie, Anderson could rotate with newly acquired James Hall at the end spot opposite Leonard Little.
14. Carolina (8-8)
Projected pick: +Greg Olsen, TE, Miami
Needs: TE, S, ILB, DE, OT, WR, OLB, DE
The Panthers could use this pick to address needs at safety (Reggie Nelson and Michael Griffin) or linebacker (Lawrence Timmons and Paul Posluszny), but Olsen is the best fit if Willis is off the board. Olsen is the only first-round talent in this year's tight end class and has the speed to take pressure off WRs Steve Smith and Keyshawn Johnson.
15. Pittsburgh (8-8)
Projected pick: +Lawrence Timmons, OLB, Florida State
Needs: OLB, G, DE, CB, RB, WR, C, ILB, TE, FB
The Steelers need to address their outside linebacker situation early in this year's draft. Although Posluszny and DE/OLB Jarvis Moss are possibilities, Timmons seems to make the most sense as new head coach Mike Tomlin makes the transition from a 3-4 to a 4-3 defensive alignment. Timmons can provide some pass-rushing production in the team's current 3-4 system, but he projects as a better fit as a weakside linebacker in the 4-3 scheme.
16. Green Bay (8-8)
Projected pick: +Marshawn Lynch, RB, Cal
Needs: RB, S, TE, WR, DT, CB, OLB, G
The Packers are in desperate need of offensive playmakers. QB Brett Favre could help maximize Lynch's explosiveness and versatility if they're working in the same backfield in 2007.
17. Jacksonville (8-8)
Projected pick: Adam Carriker, DE, Nebraska
Needs: S, DE, QB, OLB, WR, CB, DT, MLB, TE, G, P
The Jaguars could use this pick on a better pure pass-rusher or on a safety like Nelson, but Carriker is the better value in this scenario. At 296 pounds, Carriker has the size, strength, quickness and technique to develop into a quality every-down starter at the next level.
18. Cincinnati (8-8)
Projected pick: +Darrelle Revis, CB, Pittsburgh
Needs: CB, DT, OLB, TE, S, OT, WR, DE, QB
The Bengals are likely to use this pick on the best defensive player available, particularly at cornerback, defensive tackle or outside linebacker. Revis' outstanding workout at Pittsburgh's pro day last month helped solidify his standing in the mid-to-late first-round range. Revis is instinctive in zone coverage, supports the run effectively and has value as a potential punt-return specialist.
19. Tennessee (8-8)
Projected pick: +Ted Ginn Jr., WR, Ohio State
Needs: WR, RB, CB, DE, DT, MLB, G/O, S, OLB, QB
The Titans would be elated if Ginn slipped to them at No. 19. Ginn has the speed to stretch the field vertically for QB Vince Young, who needs more weapons to work with on the perimeter. The Titans would benefit from Ginn's world-class speed in the return game, as well.
20. N.Y. Giants (8-8)
Projected pick: Paul Posluszny, LB, Penn State
Needs: OLB, CB, OT, DT, WR, RB, TE, G/C, P, PK, ILB
The Giants' biggest need is at the outside linebacker position, so Posluszny is a perfect match at No. 20 overall. The career tackles leader at "Linebacker U.," Posluszny is instinctive, quick and tough enough to take over as a starter immediately.
21. Denver (9-7)
Projected pick: +Jarvis Moss, DE/OLB, Florida
Needs: DE, WR, S, OT, DT, MLB, RB, CB
The Broncos solidified their secondary by trading for Dre' Bly, who will start opposite Champ Bailey. Drafting a pass-rushing threat such as Moss would be the next step toward fixing a pass defense that ranked 21st in 2006.
22. Dallas (9-7)
Projected pick: Dwayne Bowe, WR, LSU
Needs: CB, WR, OT, DE, PK, C, S, NT, ILB, OLB
The Cowboys would have to consider a cornerback such as Aaron Ross or offensive tackle Joe Staley, but Bowe is a better prospect at another position of need. The 6-foot-2, 222-pound wideout displays the size, agility and playmaking skills to develop into a quality starter at the next level. As a rookie in 2007, Bowe could serve as an excellent third option behind aging veterans Terrell Owens and Terry Glenn.
23. Kansas City (9-7)
Projected pick: +Robert Meachem, WR, Tennessee
Needs: WR, OT, DT, CB, DE, QB, G, FB, LB, C
Although he might never be a pure No. 1 receiver in the NFL, Meachem has the speed and playmaking skills to take attention away from RB Larry Johnson and TE Tony Gonzalez. If Kansas City doesn't go with a wide receiver, it could find a similar value at cornerback with Ross, offensive tackle with Staley or defensive tackle with Justin Harrell.
24. New England (12-4) (from Seattle)
Projected pick: Aaron Ross, CB/RS, Texas
Needs: ILB, S, CB, OLB, RB, OT, QB, P, NT
The Patriots never act as if they're handcuffed by needs during draft weekend, but the Asante Samuel situation should increase their interest in this year's cornerback crop. Ross lacks ideal man-to-man cover skills, but he has the size, instincts and playmaking ability to emerge as a difference-maker in the type of zone-heavy defensive scheme the Patriots run. Ross also can help in the return game, which adds to his value.
25. N.Y. Jets (10-6)
Projected pick: +Chris Houston, CB, Arkansas
Needs: CB, OLB, TE, WR, NT, ILB,C, QB, S
Considering the team's need of an upgrade at cornerback, Houston should be on the Jets' short list of prospects in this scenario. Teams have differing opinions regarding Houston's value. Although he certainly has room to improve in regard to his technique and overall run-support skills, Houston is blessed with outstanding speed, athleticism and upper-body strength.
26. Philadelphia (10-6)
Projected pick: Michael Griffin, S, Texas
Needs: CB, S, DE, OLB, RB, WR, TE, MLB
Although the Eagles certainly could use depth at several different positions, it's hard to find a glaring weakness at any starting spot on their depth chart. One thing is certain: Philly will not be handcuffed by positions of need in this year's draft. With that in mind, Griffin is a good value because he brings experience and versatility to the table after notching 250 tackles in his last two seasons at Texas.
27. New Orleans (10-6)
Projected pick: Justin Harrell, DT, Tennessee
Needs: :CB, LB, DT, WR, TE, DE, G/C, QB
The Saints likely would take a top cornerback should Ross or Houston fall to them at No. 27. However, the team could address another position of need by drafting Harrell, who is one of the late-rising prospects in this year's class for a couple reasons. First, teams are comfortable that he's recovered completely from a torn biceps injury that sidelined him most of his senior season. Second, there isn't enough supply at the defensive tackle position to meet the demand of NFL teams.
28. New England (12-4)
Projected pick: +Reggie Nelson, S, Florida
Griffin would be a better fit if he falls because he's more versatile than Nelson. The team also could use this pick on ILB Jon Beason. But in this scenario, Nelson is the best available option. At 6 feet and 198 pounds, Nelson has very good range and playmaking potential as a center fielder-type free safety. Also remember that coach Bill Belichick loves players from Florida because he has tremendous respect for coach Urban Meyer.
29. Baltimore (13-3)
Projected pick: Joe Staley, OT, Central Michigan
Needs: CB, OT, OLB, ILB, FB, C/G, QB, S, DE
The Ravens will look to target the best available player at cornerback, linebacker or offensive tackle. In this scenario, Staley is the pick. He's a fast-rising prospect with excellent feet and the frame to get bigger/stronger. With Jonathan Ogden threatening to retire, Staley would become the future at left tackle for the Ravens.
30. San Diego (14-2)
Projected pick: +Dwayne Jarrett, WR, USC
Needs: WR, S, ILB, CB, DL, RB, G, OT, OLB, LS
Despite his subpar workout results at USC's recent pro day, Jarrett is one of the top five receivers in this class, and he's enough of a playmaker to exploit defenses when they overcompensate for RB LaDainian Tomlinson and TE Antonio Gates. The team could instead take the best available safety or linebacker with this pick.
31. Chicago (13-3)
Projected pick: +Jon Beason, OLB, Miami
Needs: DT, OLB, WR, TE, RB, OT, QB, S, G
The Bears need to address the outside linebacker position early, even if they fail to trade disgruntled starter Lance Briggs before draft weekend. Beason is a fringe first-rounder with the size, quickness and tackling skills to emerge as a quality starter in the NFL. Durability concerns and lack of ideal range in coverage keep him from competing with Willis, Timmons and Posluszny higher on the board.
32. Indianapolis (12-4)
Projected pick: Anthony Spencer, DE, Purdue
Needs: OLB, DT, ILB, RB, G, CB, WR, OT, QB
The Colts have much bigger needs at linebacker and defensive tackle, but Spencer is their kind of player. Undersized with very good speed and up-the-field playmaking skills, Spencer could be a steal late in the first round if he builds on the progress he made as a senior at Purdue (national-best 26.5 tackles for loss).
