Picks 1-16>>

Pick	Team	Player Selected	Player’s Position	Player’s School	Analysis
17.	(CAR)	Sean Weatherspoon	Outside Linebacker	Missouri	At 33 Takeo Spikes is getting a little long in the tooth. They could find his replacement in the draft. While Weatherspoon played OLB, he could also be a good ILB. He is a tackling machine, and had a great showing at the Senior Bowl.
18.		Vladimir Ducasse	Offensive Tackle	UMass	The Steelers Achilles heel, is their inconsistent offensive line play. Ducasse played left tackle at UMass, but could project better at RT or guard.
19.		Carlos Dunlap	Defensive End	Florida	Atlanta’s defense got very little pass rush from it's ends in 2009. Jamaal Anderson looks like a bust, and John Abraham had a really down year. The Falcons need to grab one of the many very good defensive ends in this draft.
20.		Kyle Wilson	Cornerback	Boise State	With Dunta Robinson most likely leaving via free agency, the Texans look to replace him in the draft. Kyle Wilson is a tall, fast, and very athletic CB. Wilson really impressed at the Senior Bowl, and earned himself a first round pick grade.
21.		Mike Iupati	Guard	Idaho	Bobbie Williams is 33 years old, and the Bengals need to get somebody ready to replace him. Iupati could replace Williams in 2011, and he might even be able to play right tackle.
22.		Jermaine Gresham	Tight End	Oklahoma	It looks like Ben Watson is going to be gone, so the Pats will look to add a tight end. Gresham was hurt for the the 09' season, but he had already been considered the top tight end prospect in 2008.
23.		Charles Brown	Offensive Tackle	Southern Cal	The Packers offensive line really needs to be improved to help Aaron Rodgers out. Brown is a very athletic left tackle prospect, who could fit right into the Packers zone blocking scheme.
24.		Earl Thomas	Safety	Texas	The Eagles never replaced Brian Dawkins last year, and Free Safety turned into a glaring weakness on the defense. The Eagles have to find an answer to the FS problem, and Thomas could be the solution.
25.		Golden Tate	Wide Receiver	Notre Dame	The Ravens really need to address the WR position in this draft. Tate is a very fast, and very productive player, who would give the Ravens a big time offensive playmaker.
26.		Dan Williams	Defensive Tackle	Tennessee	The Cardinals made the transition to a 3-4 defense last year, and now they need to get a nose tackle. Williams fits what they need perfectly, and could really be a difference maker for the defense.
27.		Jared Odrick	Defensive Tackle	Penn State	The Cowboys get a defensive tackle who would play defensive end in their 3-4 defense. Marcus Spears has really been mediocre, and Dallas could be looking to go in another direction here.
28.		CJ Spiller	Running Back	Clemson	The Chargers have cut LaDanian Tomlinson, and have not franchised Darren Sproles. This leaves RB as a major weakness on the team, and look for them to grab one here. Spiller likely will be gone here, so look for Ryan Matthews as well.
29.		Sergio Kindle	Linebacker	Texas	Rex Ryan really improved the Jets defense in one off season, and now he will continue to add to it. Vernon Gholston appears to be a big time bust, and could even be cut. Kindle is stud pass rushing outside linebacker that could even start as a rookie.
30.		Brian Price	Defensive Tackle	UCLA	Pat Williams will be turning 38 in October, and it's time the Vikings think about the future at this position. Brian Price from UCLA would be a great pick for Minnesota. Quarterback should also be a priority, since Brett Favre can't possibly play beyond this upcoming season.
31.		Brandon Graham	Defensive End	Michigan	Both Robert Mathis and Dwight Freeney will be free agents in after 2010. While defensive end isn’t a major need right now, the Taking one of thes etalented ends here, may be too good for the Colts to do.
32.		Everson Griffen	Defensive End	Southern Cal	The Super Bowl Champs could use somebody to replace Charles Grant. Wootton is a huge left end, who moves very well for his size, and can pressure the QB.
