Buffalo's new QB will need a better safety-valve than Shawn Nelson.
101. Cincinnati Bengals - Pernell McPhee DE, Mississippi State
Antwan Odom is always hurt.
102. Cleveland Browns - K.J. Wright OLB, Mississippi State
The Browns lack any traditional 4-3 OLB's.
103. Arizona Cardinals - Jason Pinkston OT, Pittsburgh
The Cardinals will be forced to double and maybe even triple dip on Offensive Linemen prospects because they have one of the worst lines in the NFL.
104. Philadelphia Eagles (via Washington Redskins) - Greg Jones LB, Michigan State
Ernie Sims was terrible in coverage last season at WLB.
105. Houston Texans - Rashad Carmichael CB, Virginia Tech
Houston needs someone to pair with 2010 rookie Kareem Jackson.

Sidney rice will need to be replaced if he leaves in free agency.
107. Detroit Lions - Nate Irving LB, North Carolina State
Detroit will need to address both OLB positions.
108. San Francisco 49ers - Lawrence Guy DE/DT, Arizona State
S.F. could use an upgrade over Isaac Sopoaga.
109. Tennessee Titans - Shiloh Keo SS, Idaho
Chris Hope is no longer worth the 6mill he'll be paid for the 2011 season.
110. Dallas Cowboys - Derek Newton OG/OT, Arkansas State
Kyle Kosier is a 32-year-old free agent.
111. Miami Dolphins - Vincent Brown WR, San Diego State
If they can't replace Chad Henne they can at least give him some more weapons.
112. St. Louis Rams - Joe Lefeged S, Rutgers
St. Louis needs to replace O.J. Atogwe.
113. Oakland Raiders - Ryan Bartholomew OC, Syracuse
Samson Satele is a free agent and Bartholomew is a combine warrior.
114. Jacksonville Jaguars - Jaiquawn Jarrett S, Temple
Don Carey is an awful Free Safety.
115. San Francisco 49ers (via San Diego Chargers) - Owen Marecic FB, Stanford
Coach Harbaugh gets one of his favorite players.
116. Tampa Bay Buccaneers - Jalil Brown CB, Colorado
Aqib Talib may be going to prison and Rhonde Barber isn't getting any younger.
117. New York Giants - Casey Matthews ILB, Oregon
The Giants could use an upgrade at every Linebacker position.
118. Kansas City Chiefs - Tim Barnes OC, Missouri
Casey Wiegmann will be 38 years old this season.
119. Indianapolis Colts - Darius Morris OT/OG, Temple
Indy needs an upgrade over Ryan Diem at RT and over Mike Pollack at RG.
120. Philadelphia Eagles - Shareece Wright CB, USC

121. Jacksonville Jaguars (via New Orleans Saints) - Ross Homan OLB, Ohio State
Justin Durant is a free agent.
122. Buffalo Bills (via Seattle Seahawks) - Sione Fua DT, Stanford
Buffalo has nothing on the D-line except for Kyle Williams.
123. Baltimore Ravens - Curtis Marsh CB, Utah State
The Ravens may double-dip at CB with three pending free agents at the position.
124. Atlanta Falcons - Andrew Jackson OG, Fresno State
Justin Blalock and Harvey Dahl are both free agents and it will probably be too expensive to resign both of them.
125. New England Patriots - DeMarcus Van Dyke CB, Miami
The Pats could use an upgrade over Kyle Arrington.
126. New York Jets - Kenrick Ellis NT, Hampton
The Jets have a lot of age issues on the D-line.
127. Chicago Bears - Austin Pettis WR, Boise State
Chicago lacks a legitimate number one WR.
128. Pittsburgh Steelers - Stephen Burton WR, West Texas A&M
This pick is likely to garner a lot of chatter from those of you in Steelers Nation but if you really think about it it'll make some sense. Recently the Steelers have made a habit of taking speedy WR's in the middle rounds. Mike Wallace, Emanuel Sanders, and Antonio Brown are all examples of this. So you ask, "Why would they take another one when they've already got enough on the roster?" Well this will most likely be Hines Ward's final go-around, it would be shocking if Limas Sweed made it out of the preseason, and A.R.L. will probably be cut as well. Burton had a phenomenal Pro Day, running a 4.38 40-time with a 1.46 10-yard split at 6'1", 224lbs. which is very Mike Wallace-like and he represents a greater value than any of the available OG's or CB's.
129. Green Bay Packers - DeMarco Murray RB, Oklahoma
James Starks has injury issues, Brandon Jackson is a free agent, and Ryan Grant is in the final year of his contract and has injury issues of his own as well.

Jason Babin is a 31 year old free agent who is likely seeking a big contract.

Donald Driver may retire after finally winning a Super Bowl and James Jones is a free agent.
****************
Round 5
132. Carolina Panthers - Lance Kendricks TE, Wisconsin
Carolina signed Jeremy Shockey but he's an injury-prone short-term solution at TE.
133. Buffalo Bills - Bruce Miller DE/OLB, Central Florida
Aaron Maybin has the look for a bust and needs to be replaced.
134. Cincinnati Bengals - Robert Sands SS, West Virginia
Robert Sands is a good fit for Cincy's defense.
135. Tampa Bay Buccaneers (via Denver Broncos) - Kendall Hunter RB, Oklahoma State
With LeGarrette Blount as the starting RB Tampa needs a cheaper back-up and third-down back than pending free agent Cadillac Williams.
136. Arizona Cardinals - Greg Salas WR, Hawaii
Steve Breaston and Early Doucet are both injury-prone free agents, and Larry Fitzgerald will be a free agent next year.
137. Cleveland Browns - Terrell McClain DT, South Florida
Cleveland cut both Shaun Rogers and Kenyon Coleman.
138. Houston Texans - Thomas Keiser DE/OLB, Stanford
Houston needs two OLB's for their conversion to a 3-4 defense.
139. Minnesota Vikings - Richard Sherman CB/FS, Stanford
Antoine Winfield is 34 years old and Cedric Griffin has injury issues.
140. Kansas City Chiefs (via Detroit Lions) - Nathan Enderle, QB, Idaho

They drafted one CB to replace Nate Clements now they take another one to replace the inconsistent Shawntae Spencer.
142. Tennessee Titans - Lee Ziemba OG, Auburn

Gary Gibson needs to be replaced.
146. Miami Dolphins - Kendric Burney CB, North Carolina
Miami needs and upgrade at Nickel CB over Bennie Sapp.
147. Jacksonville Jaguars - Eric Hagg S, Nebraska
The Jags need to replace both starting Safeties.
148. Oakland Raiders - Virgil Green TE, Nevada
Unless Zach Miller gets the franchise tag he won't be back next year.
149. Philadelphia Eagles (via San Diego Chargers) - Jacquizz Rodgers RB, Oregon State
Jerome Harrison is a free agent.
150. Minnesota Vikings (via New York Giants) - Julius Thomas TE, Portland State
Visanthe Shiancoe will be a free agent next year and was terrible in 2010.
151. Tampa Bay Buccaneers - Colin McCarthy LB, Miami
Both Barrett Rudd and Quincy Black are free agents so the Bucs may take two Linebackers.
152. Indianapolis Colts - Cedric Thornton DE/DT, Southern Arkansas
Indy could use an upgrade over Fili Moala and especially Daniel Muir.
153. Philadelphia Eagles - Ricky Stanzi QB, Iowa
With Kevin Kolb as good as traded Andy Reid will need another young QB to groom for the future.
154. Detroit Lions (via Kansas City Chiefs) - Delone Carter RB, Syracuse

161. New York Jets - Josh Davis OT, UGA
The Jets cut Damien Woody.
162. Pittsburgh Steelers - Derrick Locke RB, Kentucky
Mewelde Moore is a 29 year old free agent who is clearly on the decline. Locke is a big playmaker who can take it to the house any time he touches the ball.
163. Green Bay Packers - Anthony Gray NT, Southern Miss
The Packers could use defensive line depth with Johnny Jolly in constant trouble and Cullen Jenkins a free agent.
164. (Compensatory pick) Baltimore Ravens - Buster Skrine CB, UT-Chattanooga
The Ravens may double-dip at CB with three pending free agents at the position.
165. (Compensatory pick) Baltimore Ravens - Mark Herzlich ILB, Boston College
Baltimore needs some competition with Jameel McClain and an heir to Ray Lewis at ILB. Herzlich still needs time to regain his form after coming back from cancer but is a high character guy and worth the chance at the end of the 5th round.
****************

195. Chicago Bears - Pierre Allen DE, Nebraska
Chicago lacks depth behind Julius Peppers and Israel Idonije.
196. Pittsburgh Steelers - Alex Henery K, Nebraska
Shaun Suisham is average at best. In addition to being the top Kicker in this draft class Alex Henery is also a great Punter, so given that Daniel Sepulveda has already torn the ACL in his knee three times that added skill may come in handy.

203. (Compensatory pick) Carolina Panthers - Taiwan Jones RB, Eastern Washington
