-
Glenn Dorsey, DT,
Kansas City Chiefs: Glenn
Dorsey is believed to be the best talent prospect coming out of the NFL
Draft. With help from Tank Tyler
and Turk McBride, he should have help and should be able to avoid a lot
of double teams that he may have received if he had gone elsewhere.
-
Chris Long, DE,
St. Louis Rams: Chris
Long is believed to be the safest pick coming out of the NFL Draft.
The Rams had an abysmal defensive line last year and should be
aided by a high-energy player like Chris Long.
-
Vernon
Gholston , DE
, New York
Jets: Vernon Gholston is a physical
specimen, but could be a project. The
Jets were in need of a pass-rushing defensive end after losing John Abraham.
Gholston has been known in college to take a few plays off but, has dominated
the likes of Jake Long.
-
Sedrick Ellis, DT,
New Orleans Saints: Sedrick
Ellis really helped himself with a stellar Senior Bowl performance.
The Saints sorely needed a big, strong defensive tackle.
New Orleans ’ defensive
backs will enjoy the inside pass rush that Sedrick Ellis will provide.
-
Keith Rivers, OLB,
Cincinnati Bengals: Keith
Rivers will be a huge addition to the Cincinnati Bengals’ linebacker corps.
The Bengals truly start from ground zero as their defense was horrendous
last season. On top of that,
Keith Rivers is a high character player which Cincinnati
needs more than ever.
-
Jerrod Mayo, ILB,
New England Patriots: Jerrod
Mayo will help to bring youth to the New England Patriots’ linebacker corps,
which is a bit seasoned. Though
Mayo’s production may go under the radar due to such a great defense, his
impact will be huge for a team looking to return to the Super Bowl.
-
Leodis McKelvin, CB,
Buffalo Bills: Leodis
McKelvin looks to improve an average defense at Buffalo
on an improving team. Leodis
McKelvin slipped in some minds as he was considered a potential Top 10 pick.
McKelvin may be forced to start but he should be prepared as one
of the best cover cornerbacks coming out of the draft.
-
Dominique Rodgers - Cromartie,
CB, Arizona Cardinals:
Dominique Rodgers - Cromartie helped
himself with a stellar Senior Bowl performance, as well.
He is a Top 10 talent who may have slipped due to injury concerns.
He has great ball skills and should be a great addition to the
Arizona secondary as Antrel Rolle will
move to safety.
-
Derrick Harvey, DE,
Jacksonville Jaguars: Derrick
Harvey is a welcome addition to a Jacksonville
defensive line that could use more of a pass rush.
Harvey is the stout
defensive end that Jacksonville
wanted, as they traded up to get him.
-
Mike
Jenkins, CB, Dallas Cowboys:
Mike Jenkins makes Jerry Jones a very
happy man. He is a solid cornerback
who was believed to be a Top 20 talent.
At South Florida he had a solid career and
he shouldn’t be forced into action as they have decent defensive backs and
a good pass rush.
