ROUND 5 |

# |
Pick |
Team |
|
1 |
138 |
Oakland
Jay Richardson, DE Ohio State
– It’s all about the upside. He has a good frame and good
quickness, and now he has to get a bit bigger, stronger, and
learn how to handle NFL caliber tackles. He wasn’t an
ultra-productive college player, can he ramp it up as a pro? |
|
2 |
139 |
Detroit
Dustin Fry, C Clemson
– Great size, great strength, not smooth. He’s not an athletic
blocker and might project to someday be a better guard than
center. Even so, he gets the job done and can be a terrific run
blocker in time. |
|
3 |
140 |
Cleveland
Brandon McDonald, CB Memphis
– In college, he played faster than he is, but he doesn’t have
anywhere near the NFL speed or strength to be a starting corner.
He’ll work hard and he could be a decent nickel or dime
defender, but if he’s on the field for any appreciable length of
time, uh oh. |
|
4 |
141 |
Tampa Bay
Greg Peterson, DE North Carolina Central
– The only question is the competition he faced having dominated
at a D-II level. He has all the tools with size, speed and
quickness, and while he’ll need a lot of coaching and a long
time to develop into an NFL caliber player, he could be a home
run swing considering his measurables. |
|
5 |
142 |
Arizona
Steve Breaston, WR Michigan –
A total disappointment until last year when he cemented himself
as a pure possession receiver, he’ll make his mark as a kick and
punt returner. He’s got nice quickness, but he’ll do nothing as
a receiver and will get erased by the most marginal of defensive
backs. |
|
6 |
143 |
Washington
Dallas Sartz, S/LB USC
– He’s not the tweener he’s being made out to be. He has the
speed to become a heck of an NFL safety, but he’ll likely start
out as an outside linebacker on the strongside even though he’s
not the surest tackler around. Basically, he’s an interesting
prospect who needs to find a spot. |
|
7 |
144 |
Houston
Brandon Harrison, S Stanford
– While he might be considered for a linebacker spot at some
point if he bulks up, he’s a safety with good size and excellent
speed. He has the measurables, but he’s not a playmaker
struggling to make enough big tackles or do enough when the ball
is in the air. |
|
8 |
145 |
New Orleans (from Detroit throughout Miami)
David Jones, CB Wingate
– Pure speed, he’s a sub-4.5 runner with good size and a natural
corner. Just an average corner at a D-II level, he’ll have to
learn how to become more physical. He’s a risky pick, but he’s a
risky pick worth taking on speed and upside. |
|
9 |
146 |
Minnesota
Aundrae Allison, WR East Carolina
– He still needs work to be a true NFL talent and he’ll need a
lot of coaching. While he’s got great athletic ability, it’s
going to be a while before he makes any sort of an impact. |
|
10 |
147 |
San Francisco
Tarell Brown, CB Texas
– With good size and good athleticism, but not elite speed, he
can do a little of everything well. His stock slipped after a
foot problem plagued him his senior year making him less
productive and not nearly the player he was as a junior. He
could blossom into a steal. |
|
11 |
148 |
Kansas City (from Buffalo through St. Louis)
Kolby Smith, RB Louisville
– Is he a full-time back? No, but he has good size, nice
athleticism, and is a good blocker. A potentially great No. 2
back, or even a fullback, he’ll grow into a nice player who’ll
hang around the league for a while. |
|
12 |
149 |
Jacksonville (from Atlanta)
Uche Nwaneri, OG Purdue
– A big body who was good in pass protection and has the
strength to be a start. He’s not the best athlete having a lousy
Combine. While he might be limited, he might surprise early on
and make the roster and be a regular on the line. |
|
13 |
150 |
Jacksonville
Josh Gattis, S Wake Forest
– Good enough speed to play any safety position with fantastic
range, he’s been productive for the last three years and
would’ve gotten more attention if all the defensive focus wasn’t
on LB Jon Abbate. He could stand to be a better tackler and
there are some questions about how well he’ll do against an NFL
power running game, but his speed and smarts will get him a
starting spot in time. |
|
14 |
151 |
Cincinnati
Jeff Rowe, QB Nevada
– A veteran starter who grew into a good passer in Nevada’s
“pistol” offense, he has good size, a decent arm and good
decision-making ability. However, he doesn’t have an NFL caliber
arm and little mobility. Think Indianapolis backup QB, and
former Wisconsin Badger, Jim Sorgi. |
|
15 |
152 |
Tennessee
Antonio Johnson, DT Mississippi State
– One of the best combinations of size and athleticism among the
tackles, he’s 305 pounds and fast. Can he be consistent? For all
his talent and all his athleticism, he didn’t do nearly enough
for the Bulldogs coming from the JUCO ranks. An extremely
disappointing college player. |
|
16 |
153 |
N.Y. Giants
Kevin Boss, TE Western Oregon
– He can’t run and has only cranked out stats against D-II
teams, but he has nice hands and could be a heck of a blocker.
He has to get stronger and has to improve his all-around
toughness. |
|
17 |
154 |
St. Louis
Clifton Ryan, DE/DT Michigan State
– A huge end or a good-sized tackle, he’s 310 pounds, strong,
and very athletic. However, he doesn’t play up to his size and
doesn’t make nearly enough plays for a big man. He struggled
just like the team did at the end of last year, but if someone
can light a fire under him, he could be a mega-steal. |
|
18 |
155 |
Carolina
Dante Rosario, TE/FB Oregon
– While he’s not big, he’s a great athlete with a great motor.
Is he really a tight end? More like a fullback playing tight
end, he’s a true tweener who’ll make his biggest impact, if any,
on special teams. |
|
19 |
156 |
Pittsburgh
Cameron Stephenson, OG Rutgers
– A tough run blocker with good size, he could be a starter if
given time to learn what he’s doing. He’s not a finished product
by any stretch and needs plenty of work on his technique. He’ll
try hard and will work once he gets next-level coaching. |
|
20 |
157 |
Green Bay
David Clowney, WR Virginia Tech
– Tremendously quick and potentially a dangerous kick returner,
he should be better now that he’s in the NFL and away from a
Virginia Tech passing game that limited his skills. At least
that’s the hope considering he was a mediocre college receiver.
|
|
21 |
158 |
Detroit (from Denver)
Johnny Baldwin, LB Alabama A&M
– Can he play at a high level? He has great size at 6-1 and 232
pounds and has top speed for an inside linebacker. His workouts
for several pro teams were fantastic highlighted by benching 225
pounds 28 times (Wisconsin OT Joe Thomas benched it 24 times).
Raw, but very intruiging. |
|
22 |
159 |
Philadelphia (from Dallas)
C.J. Gaddis, CB Clemson
– With great speed and good size, he has all the measurables and
has the talent to grow into a starting corner. So versatile that
it’s a negative; he never grew into a position at Clemson and
might need at least a year of work to become a pure corner.
|
|
23 |
160 |
Kansas City
Justin Medlock, PK UCLA
– The best kicker in America last season, he was clutch,
consistent, and a difference maker for an offense that struggled
a bit too often. He’s not going to hit the 50-yard bombs like
Mason Crosby might, but he’ll nail everything 45 yards and in. |
|
24 |
161 |
Seattle
Will Herring, LB Auburn
– He’s not flashy and isn’t ever going to wow anyone, but he’s a
flat-out football player. The former safety is an undersized
linebacker prospect with the quickness to be decent on the
outside. Great against the pass, he’ll get shoved around too
much against bigger running teams. He needs to get bigger and
stronger. |
|
25 |
162 |
Philadelphia
Brent Celek, TE Cincinnati
– An ultra-productive star of the UC offense for three years,
he’s a good athlete and a big wide receiver playing tight end.
He’s not a big blocker and won’t be a featured receiver type of
playmaker, but he’s experienced, was a better route runner than
he gets credit for, and as long as he doesn’t have to be big in
the running game, will be a nice second tight end. |
|
26 |
163 |
Houston (from New Orleans)
Brandon Frye, OT Virginia Tech
– One of the fastest tackles in the draft, he can move, is
strong, and gets down the field in a big hurry. He still needs
time to become a polished blocker. If he gets time to learn and
develop, he could be a home-run pick. |
|
27 |
164 |
Carolina (from N.Y. Jets)
Tim Shaw, LB Penn State
– A good combination of size and speed, he’s an active defender
who benefited from being the third man in, arguably, the best
linebacking corps in America. He’s not a big hitter and he
didn’t step up his play as a senior after a great junior year
after moving to defensive end. Will the lack of development last
year prove too costly? Yeah, it’ll take a little while for him
to become an NFL linebacker. |
|
28 |
165 |
Oakland (from New England)
Eric Frampton, S Washington State
– Decent, but not elite speed with a fantastic motor and good
tackling skills with 187 stops in the last two seasons. Not huge
at around 6-0 and 205 pounds, he’ll get pushed around a bit and
isn’t quite as physical as the scouts would’ve liked. His work
ethic and willingness to do whatever it takes will make him
tough to cut. |
|
29 |
166 |
Jacksonville (from Baltimore)
Derek Landri, DT Notre Dame
– Not quite the space-eater you’d like as a starting tackle and
not quite NFL-quick enough to become a top interior pass rusher,
he might be fine when he’s not seeing two blockers. He’ll work
his tail off and will always go 100%, but there’s little upside.
He is what he is. |
|
30 |
167 |
Chicago (from San Diego)
Kevin Payne, S UL Monroe
– A do-it-all player for ULM, literally, as the team’s punter,
top safety, and running back (at least early in his career).
He’s a good athlete who packs a pop missing from most of the top
safety prospects. Give him time and he could be in the lineup. |
|
31 |
168 |
Chicago
Corey Graham, CB New Hampshire
– With tremendous 4.49 speed, he has the natural cover ability
to potentially be a nice second corner if he gets time to
develop. Don’t expect him to tackle anyone and don’t expect him
to do much of anything this year as he continues to rehab from a
broken leg suffered halfway through the year. |
|
32 |
169 |
Indianapolis
Roy Hall, WR Ohio State
– Potentially a tight end, he’s 232 pounds and plays like it.
He’s a physical receiver who isn’t enough of a blocker to be an
every down tight end, but he could be an H-Back or a second
tight end who can make plays underneath. |
|
33 |
170 |
Pittsburgh (Compensatory Selection)
William Gay, CB Louisville
– A very, very good and productive college player, he doesn’t
have the speed or the size to be a regular NFL corner. He’ll be
a good nickel or dime back and could become an occasional
safety. He’s a good hitter for his size. |
|
34 |
171 |
New England (Compensatory Selection)
Clint Oldenburg, OT Colorado State
– Not all that big, but versatile able to play either guard or
tackle, he’s athletic with good feet and decent in pass
protection. He needs to get bigger and could stand to get
stronger. At best, he’ll be a backup early on while he sits in
the weight room. |
|
35 |
172 |
San Diego (Compensatory Selection)
Legedu Naanee, WR Boise State
– A quarterback when he arrived in Boise, he has great size,
excellent speed, and can jump out of the stadium. He’s not even
remotely polished, but he has too much athletic ability to not
take a flier on. |
|
36 |
173 |
Indianapolis (Compensatory Selection)
Michael Coe, CB Alabama State
– Athletic and smart, he started out his career at Arkansas as a
receiver before getting hurt and transferring to play for his
dad. While not a next level speedster and not all that physical,
he’ll be a good backup before working his way into a number two
corner or nickelback. |
|
37 |
174 |
Baltimore (Compensatory Selection)
Troy Smith, QB Ohio State
– Considered a possible first rounder by some at the end of the
regular season, his stock dropped off the map with a bad
national title performance against Florida and lousy workouts.
He has the arm and the mobility, but he’s not big and has to
pull up out of the nosedive started when he won the Heisman. |
