**************
Rounds 1 - 3
Round 4
98. Carolina Panthers - Kenrick Ellis NT, Hampton
Carolina took an under DT with the last pick and now they get a massive, space-eating NT with this one.
99. Seattle Seahawks (From New England via Denver) - Jaiquawn Jarrett S, Temple
Seattle continues to upgrade the secondary. Jarrett would be a great compliment to Earl Thomas.
100. Buffalo Bills - Jordan Cameron TE, USC
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 - Drake Nevis DT, LSU
Cleveland cut both Shaun Rogers and Kenyon Coleman.
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) - Brandon Burton CB, Utah
Philly needs two CB's to replace Ellis Hobbs and relegate Dimitri Patterson to the Nickel position.
105. Houston Texans - Chimdi Chekwa CB, Ohio State
Houston needs someone to pair with 2010 rookie Kareem Jackson.
106. Minnesota Vikings - Shareece Wright CB, USC
Antoine Winfield is 34 years old and Cedric Griffin has injury issues.
107. Detroit Lions - Greg Jones LB, Michigan State
Detroit will need to address both OLB positions. Why not take the home town guy?
108. San Francisco 49ers - Lawrence Guy DE/DT, Arizona State
S.F. could use an upgrade over Isaac Sopoaga.
109. Tennessee Titans - Greg Romeus DE, Pittsburgh
Jason Babin is a 31 year old free agent who is likely seeking a big contract.
110. Dallas Cowboys - Deunta Williams S, UNC
Alan Ball was terrible last season and Gerald Sensabaugh is a free agent.
111. Miami Dolphins - Virgil Green TE, Nevada
Anthony Fasano just isn't cutting it.
112. St. Louis Rams - Jordan Todman RB, UConn
St. Louis needs someone to spell Steven Jackson before his wheels fall off.
113. Oakland Raiders - Ryan Bartholomew OC, Syracuse
Samson Satele is a free agent and Bartholomew is a combine warrior.
114. Jacksonville Jaguars - Lawrence Wilson OLB, UConn
Justin Durant is a free agent who's always hurt.
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 - K.J. Wright OLB, Mississippi State
The Giants could use an upgrade at every Linebacker position.
118. Kansas City Chiefs - Sione Fua NT, Stanford
Ron Edwards is a free agent.
119. Indianapolis Colts - John Moffitt OG, Wisconsin
Indy needs an upgrade over Ryan Diem at RT and over Mike Pollack at RG. GM Bill Polian gets to once again fulfill his love for the Big10 and Moffitt and Gabe Carimi get to continue playing together.
120. Philadelphia Eagles - Joseph Barksdale OT, LSU
Philly needs to replace Winston Justice at RT.
121. Jacksonville Jaguars (via New Orleans Saints) - Ahmad Black S, Florida
Jacksonville needs an upgrade at both safety positions.
122. Buffalo Bills (via Seattle Seahawks) - Chris Hairston OT, Clemson

Atlanta needs an upgrade over Michael Jenkins and Harry Douglas.
125. New England Patriots - DeMarcus Van Dyke CB, Miami
The Pats could use an upgrade over Kyle Arrington.
126. New York Jets - Ugo Chinasa DE/OLB, Oklahoma State
The Jets have to improve their pass-rush.
127. Chicago Bears - Terrell McClain DT, South Florida
Chicago needs a replacement for Tommy Harris.
128. Pittsburgh Steelers - Kelvin Sheppard ILB, LSU
It wouldn't be a Steelers draft without at least one linebacker selected. Given the talent available, plus the Steelers needs, Sheppard makes the most sense. He's a humble leader on and off the field and plays with a Steelers mentality. James Farrior can't play forever as his declining skills have indicated and the Steelers will need someone to fill in. I know they have Stevenson Sylvester but they can't rely on him alone and they'll need someone to compete with him for playing time. Sheppard is also the best talent available that fits a Steelers need. Other prospects would include Notre Dame NT Ian Williams, Rutgers S Joe Lefeged, Boise State WR Austin Pettis, Oregon State RB Jacquizz Rodgers, and Stanford CB Richard Sherman.
129. Green Bay Packers - Lee Ziemba OG/OT, Auburn
Daryn Colledge is a free agent.
130. (Compensatory pick) Tennessee Titans - Demarcus Love OG, Arkansas
Leroy Harris is a free agent and needs to be replaced anyway.

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.
Round Five
132. Carolina Panthers - Rob Housler TE, Florida Atlantic
Carolina signed Jeremy Shockey but he's an injury-prone short-term solution at TE.
133. Buffalo Bills - Denarius Moore WR, Tennessee
There's a good chance that Lee Evans will be released at some point.
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) - Jacquizz Rodgers RB, Oregon 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 - Jeremy Beal DE/OLB, Oklahoma
Arizona needs two pass-rushing OLB's.
137. Cleveland Browns - Ross Homan OLB, Ohio State

Bernard Pollard is a free agent and a huge liability in pass coverage.

149. Philadelphia Eagles (via San Diego Chargers) - Dion Lewis RB, Pittsburgh
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 - Zach Hurd OT/OG, UConn
Tampa Bay has issues all along the O-line.
152. Indianapolis Colts - Roy Helu RB, Nebraska
Joseph Addai is a 28 year old free agent.
153. Philadelphia Eagles - Nathan Enderle QB, Idaho
With Kevin Kolb as good as traded whenever the lock out ends Andy Reid will need another young QB to groom for the future.

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 - Chris Culliver FS, South Carolina

195. Chicago Bears - Tim Barnes OC, Missouri
Olin Kreutz is a 34 year old free agent.
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 good punter, so given that Daniel Sepulveda has already torn the ACL in his knee three times that added skill may come in handy.
