By: Douglas E. Love

Round 1 | Round 2 | Round 3

32. Cleveland OT Mississippi Todd Wade 6-7 / 328
--Orlando Brown may not be ready to play come fall. Wade has great size and talent.

33. New Orleans WR Jackson State Sylvester Morris 6-3 / 216
--Compared to Jake Reed at the same stage ..and who better to learn from than Jake himself.

34. San Francisco CB Ohio State Ahmed Plummer 5-11 / 191
--"Mooch" needs a corner with some polish, Plummer has the most.

35. Cincinnati DT Tennessee Darwin Walker 6-3 / 293
--Walker is incredibly strong and can be the third man in the rotation.

36. Atlanta QB Louisville Chris Redman 6-3 / 222
--Atlanta is one concussion away from not having a quarterback.

37. Philadelphia C Virginia John St. Clair 6-5 / 302
--Giving McNabb another tool to grow with. Talented enough to step in and start.

38. Arizona OLB Tennessee Raynoch Thompson 6-2 / 220
--Overrated 'backer who fills a huge void for a team that starts a 210 lb. linebacker from Dartmouth.

39. Pittsburgh OLB So. Carolina John Abraham 6-4 / 252
--Not a real need, but too talented and athletic for a team that plays a 3-4.

40. Chicago PK Florida State Sebastian Janikowski* 6-2 / 255
--Large Polish community and lots of pool halls will make Janikowski happy. His leg makes him new "hometown hero."

41. Denver WR West Virginia Jerry Porter 6-2 / 221
--Will be third receiver for team that has absolutely no wide receiver depth.

42. NY Giants S/CB LSU Mark Roman 5-11 / 188
--Great work out impressed many. Versitility and hard hitting will be a welcomed by Fassel.

43. Carolina OT Tennessee St. Michael Thompson 6-4 / 305
--Not that different, in terms of what he brings to the table, from Chris Terry. Nice fit.

44. San Diego WR So. California R. Jay Soward 5-10 / 177
--Teams either love him or hate him... Soward will be a nice compliment to the taller, more physical, Ricks.

45. Green Bay DT Florida State Jerry Johnson 6-0 / 293
--Wolf said he's going to address the defensive line. Johnson is the top run stuffing tackle in the draft.

46. Baltimore WR Florida Darrell Jackson 6-0 / 197
--Showed flashes last year. Enjoyed the advantage of playing in Florida's offense. Good upside.

47. New England OT Arkansas Bobby Williams 6-4 / 335
--Bledsoe has got to be in fear of his life, not that the OL was that good, but now he doesn't have one at all.

48. Oakland WR Florida State Ron Dugans 6-1 / 206
--Most polished receiver in class. Gruden wants a player who can start. Has good hand.

49. NY Jets TE West Virginia Anthony Becht 6-6 / 270
--Jet offense relies on a good tight end. Good upside, can play run and pass.

50. Dallas OLB Ohio State Na'il Diggs* 6-4 / 231
--Another overrated LB. Has all the tangibles including ideal height/weight. Will learn on the job.

51. Detroit FB No. Carolina Deon Dyer 5-11 / 260
--Ross is going to make sure his running attack does not stall on him this year.

52. Kansas City CB Florida State Mario Edwards 6-0 / 191
--Kansas City takes big name players from big name schools. Regressed last year, needs to find his game again.

53. Seattle RB Arizona State J.R. Redmond 5-11 / 216
--Watters is getting on. Green hasn't proven to be a playmaker. Redmond's hands are an asset.

54. Miami CB California Deltha O'Neal 5-11 / 195
--Could go OL here, but lack of depth at corner makes this a necessity. O'Neal is also a very good return man.

55. Minnesota(via Washington) DE So. Mississippi Adalius Thomas 6-3 / 270
--Terrific workout numbers. Plays with leverage, will need to work on stopping the run.

56. Minnesota OG Indiana (Pa.) Leander Jordan 6-4 / 330
--Compared to Viking David Dixon, but must fill shoes of perennial ProBowler McDaniel.

57. Buffalo FS Marshall Rogers Beckett 6-1 / 207
--Absolute necessity since Schulz skipped town. Scouts love Beckett's size.

58. Tampa Bay TE Iowa Austin Wheatley 6-4 / 254
--Hardly used in Iowa's scheme, but has really turned heads. Tons of untapped talent. Huge upside.

59. Indianapolis ILB Penn State Brandon Short 6-3 / 252
--Paterno loved to talk Short up. Like teammate Courntey Brown, mature field leader. Solid.

60. Jacksonville WR Arizona Dennis Northcutt 5-10 / 175
--Size is the only thing keeping this dynamo out of round one. Return skills a big plus.

61. Tennessee OLB California Sekou Sanyika 6-3 / 241
--Spent a lot of time in opponent's backfields while at Cal. Plays wreckless at times, but playmaker.

62. St. Louis CB Tennessee Dwayne Goodrich 5-11 / 195
--Made reputation for shutting down Pete Warrick. Track star, overrated cover corner.

--all underclassmen noted with an *
