| 134 | Kansas City |
 |
Sanders Commings Georgia CB Reach/Value: -45 |
Height: 6'0" Weight: 216 |
Alternate Pick #1 Bacarri Rambo Alternate Pick #2 Andre Ellington |
| Commings was our 179th ranked prospect, 23rd best CB. This is a bit of a reach, especially with a few other CBs (Poyer, Hawthorne, McGee) available. The former Bulldog has been compared to the Seahawks' Browner. They're both large DBs that are physical but don't have the speed to excel - or remain - at CB. Grade: C |
| 135 | Jacksonville |
 |
Denard Robinson Michigan WR? Reach/Value: -32 |
Height: 5'10" Weight: 199 |
Alternate Pick #1 Jesse Williams Alternate Pick #2 Cornelius Washington |
| After adding speedy wideout Ace Sanders, the Jags get a bit creative by snatching up Denard Robinson. Could he be the Jags next QB? In a pinch, maybe? Grade: B- |
| 136 | Philadelphia |
 |
Earl Wolff North Carolina St SS Reach/Value: -88 |
Height: 5'11" Weight: 209 |
Alternate Pick #1 Jordan Poyer Alternate Pick #2 Cornelius Washington |
| Wolff was rising towards the end of the draft process but was still our 13th-ranked SS (224 overall). Would have preferred Lester, Motta, Rambo, or Jefferson at Safety here. Eagles have swung and missed on the position since Dawkins left. Grade: C |
| 137 | Seattle |
 |
Jesse Williams Alabama DT34 Reach/Value: +111 |
Height: 6'3" Weight: 323 |
Alternate Pick #1 Tyler Bray Alternate Pick #2 Jordan Poyer |
| Finally, our #1 NT prospect goes to the Seabags . . . can't explain the drop, but I can talk to the value of having a 323 lb man who can bench-press Seattle!' Grade: A |
| 138 | Seattle |
 |
Tharold Simon LSU CB Reach/Value: -19 |
Height: 6'2" Weight: 202 |
Alternate Pick #1 Tyler Bray Alternate Pick #2 Jordan Poyer |
| An arresting pick for Seattle. Hope there has been serious vetting for this guy, who previously had tested positive for synthetic marijuana, and picked draft week to get picked up by the fuzz. Don't try it; it hurts. Takes bad angles on the field, too. Grade: D |
| 139 | Indianapolis |
 |
Montori Hughes Tennessee-Martin DT34 Reach/Value: +11 |
Height: 6'4" Weight: 329 |
Alternate Pick #1 Bacarri Rambo Alternate Pick #2 Da'Rick Rogers |
| Some off-field incidents probably caused some concern for others, but Hughes represents a big, nasty presence up front that could provide the Colts excellent rotational depth at NT. |
| 140 | Arizona |
 |
Stepfan Taylor Stanford RBF Reach/Value: +17 |
Height: 5'9" Weight: 214 |
Alternate Pick #1 Reid Fragel Alternate Pick #2 Jordan Mills |
| Taylor was our 4th-rated RB and 115 overall. This is good value pick at a position that didn't require a pick. They jettisoned Beanie Wells but added Mendenhall to go with Ryan Williams. Taylor may be the "safest" RB pick as he has a low bust potential since he's a "jack of all trades, master of none". Grade: C+ |
| 141 | NY Jets |
 |
Oday Aboushi Virginia ROT Reach/Value: -166 |
Height: 6'5" Weight: 308 |
Alternate Pick #1 Cornelius Washington Alternate Pick #2 Ryan Swope |
| Aboushi is an experienced player, having started parts of every season for UVA since his freshman year. He's a better run-blocker and has a nasty streak to him. Unfortunately his footwork leaves a lot to be desired in pass pro; he too often gets beat to the outside. Grade: C |
| 142 | Tennessee |
 |
Lavar Edwards LSU DE43 Reach/Value: +17 |
Height: 6'4" Weight: 277 |
Alternate Pick #1 Cornelius Washington Alternate Pick #2 Bacarri Rambo |
| Great strenght, long with a limited burst off the first step. Gets through traffic well, but lacks range in open field. Grade: D |
| 143 | Buffalo |
 |
Jonathan Meeks Clemson SS Reach/Value: -157 |
Height: 6'1" Weight: 210 |
Alternate Pick #1 Jordan Poyer Alternate Pick #2 Ryan Swope |
| Meeks, the tough rotational S joins Duke Williams selected last round. WTF? Is Jairus Byrd on the auction block? Pettine uses multiple safeties a lot, but this is a puzzler. Nix said draft was deep at Safety, but...Grade: D |
| 144 | New Orleans |
 |
Kenny Stills Oklahoma WRF Reach/Value: +13 |
Height: 6'0" Weight: 194 |
Alternate Pick #1 Reid Fragel Alternate Pick #2 Jordan Mills |
| New Orleans adds another weapon to their potent offense with the Sooner wideout. Obviously not elite speed, but solid acceleration in and out of breaks to help with separation. Grade: B- |
| 145 | San Diego |
 |
Steve Williams California CB Reach/Value: -43 |
Height: 5'8" Weight: 181 |
Alternate Pick #1 Tyler Bray Alternate Pick #2 Jordan Poyer |
| A bit surprised the that Chargers would take Williams over Jordan Poyer, but maybe they had an 'insider tip' from Keenan Allen on this one. Filled a need, but not sure of the value. Grade: B- |
| 146 | Denver |
 |
Quanterus Smith Western Kentucky DE43 Reach/Value: -94 |
Height: 6'5" Weight: 250 |
Alternate Pick #1 Cornelius Washington Alternate Pick #2 Bacarri Rambo |
| Led the nation in sacks through first 10 games (12.5) but tore ACL in game vs Lafayette-Louisiana. Will be a long-term project battling back from the injury, but'tcould ultimately prove to be a serious steal. Grade: C+' |
| 147 | Tampa Bay |
|
Steven Means Buffalo OLB43 Reach/Value: -665 |
Height: 6'2" Weight: 230 |
Alternate Pick #1 Jordan Poyer Alternate Pick #2 Ryan Swope |
| Underscouted, over-rated pass rusher who's a 'tweener. He'll need to bulk up to play anything but Special Teams for the Bucs. Grade: D |
| 148 | Carolina |
 |
A.J. Klein Iowa State SILB Reach/Value: +13 |
Height: 6'1" Weight: 250 |
Alternate Pick #1 Jordan Poyer Alternate Pick #2 Ryan Swope |
| Big 12 DPOY led the Cyclones with 116 tackles, second-most in the Big 12. He's changed his attitude over the years; he wasn't accepting coaching early in his career, He can struggle to work off blocks. Grade: C- |
| 149 | St Louis |
 |
Brandon McGee Miami (FL) CB Reach/Value: -5 |
Height: 5'11" Weight: 193 |
Alternate Pick #1 Bacarri Rambo Alternate Pick #2 Tyler Bray |
| The Rams certainly had a need for depth at the CB position and McGee will provide that for them, with a chance to develop into a regular contributor down the road. |
|
|
| 150 | Pittsburgh |
 |
Terry Hawthorne Illinois CB Reach/Value: +10 |
Height: 5'11" Weight: 195 |
Alternate Pick #1 Ryan Swope Alternate Pick #2 Andre Ellington |
| Another bigger body CB drafted to help stop the pass-heavy Os. Hawthorne is capable of doing that but will be unable to slide inside to cover the slot. He's a fine depth player and should contribute on special teams but his overly-aggressive technique will make him a long-term viability in coverage. Grade: C+- |
| 151 | Dallas |
 |
Joseph Randle Oklahoma State RBF Reach/Value: +1 |
Height: 6'0" Weight: 204 |
Alternate Pick #1 Cornelius Washington Alternate Pick #2 Bacarri Rambo |
| Finally, a pick that makes sense . . . first OK State RB since Walt Garrison to play for the Cowboys. Randle makes a fine "runnin' buddy" for DeMarco Murray (Boomer Sooner) in the rotation.' Grade: A |
| 152 | NY Giants |
 |
Cooper Taylor Richmond SS Reach/Value: -163 |
Height: 6'4" Weight: 221 |
Alternate Pick #1 Jordan Poyer Alternate Pick #2 Bacarri Rambo |
| Wow, now that's a R-E-A-C-H. Taylor, from lower-level Richmond, was ranked 315th on our Big Board. He's a big body Safety who made a bit of a name for himself at the East-West Shrine Game. But Rambo, Lester, and Motta were all still on the board. Grade: C- |
| 153 | Atlanta |
 |
Stansly Maponga TCU DE43 Reach/Value: -60 |
Height: 6'2" Weight: 256 |
Alternate Pick #1 Cornelius Washington Alternate Pick #2 Tyler Bray |
| Maponga really didn't have as good a season in 2012 as he would've liked, but went ahead and declared" early. Sources have stated TCU HC Gary Patterson advised him to stay in college another year, but Maponga made the jump. Will need to prove it was the right move. Grade: C |
| 154 | Washington |
 |
Chris Thompson Florida State RBC Reach/Value: -146 |
Height: 5'7" Weight: 192 |
Alternate Pick #1 Jordan Poyer Alternate Pick #2 Bacarri Rambo |
| Injuries were the main reason Thompson wasn't highly-regarded entering the draft. He has the skill set teams want from diminuitive backs: excess speed and the ability to catch out of the backfield. However, with injury concerns (and a decent stable of backs already) was he the best pick? Grade: C- |
| 155 | Minnesota |
 |
Jeff Locke UCLA P Reach/Value: -129 |
Height: 6'1" Weight: 214 |
Alternate Pick #1 Jordan Poyer Alternate Pick #2 Cornelius Washington |
| The position isn't a surprise as we had Brad Wing going to the Vikings in the 6th Round. This may be a bit early, but the writing has been on the wall for a while: the Chris Kluwe era is coming to an end. Grade: C |
| 156 | Cincinnati |
 |
Tanner Hawkinson Kansas ROT Reach/Value: -232 |
Height: 6'5" Weight: 298 |
Alternate Pick #1 Tyler Bray Alternate Pick #2 Jordan Poyer |
| 157 | San Francisco |
 |
Quinton Dial Alabama DE34 Reach/Value: +37 |
Height: 6'5" Weight: 318 |
Alternate Pick #1 Bacarri Rambo Alternate Pick #2 Tyler Bray |
| This is a good selection for the Niners, a good rotational DE for their 3-4. He's great value here, as San Francisco shows us how this draft thingy works. Grade: A |
| 158 | Seattle |
 |
Luke Wilson Rice TE Reach/Value: -160 |
Height: 6'4" Weight: 250 |
Alternate Pick #1 Tyler Bray Alternate Pick #2 Ryan Swope |
| Wilson is a 3-year starter who battled injuries his final year. During his Junior season he was tabbed with All-Conference honors and was once a prospect for MLB's Toronto Blue Jays. Potential is there, but still untapped." Grade: C |
| 159 | Green Bay |
 |
Micah Hyde Iowa CB Reach/Value: -38 |
Height: 5'11" Weight: 197 |
Alternate Pick #1 Ryan Swope Alternate Pick #2 Bacarri Rambo |
| Good size but not the fastest Corner - a zone Corner prospect, but may be a candidate for conversion to Safety. Grade: C |
| 160 | St Louis |
 |
Zac Stacy Vanderbilt RBF Reach/Value: -84 |
Height: 5'8" Weight: 216 |
Alternate Pick #1 Bacarri Rambo Alternate Pick #2 Tyler Bray |
| 161 | Denver |
 |
Tavarres King Georgia WRF Reach/Value: +52 |
Height: 6'0" Weight: 189 |
Alternate Pick #1 Bacarri Rambo Alternate Pick #2 Reid Fragel |
| Took over leadership of the receiving unit at Georgia upon the departure of A.J. Green. Solid over-the-middle wideout that helped the Bulldogs rise from 56th (2010)"to 22nd best in nation his Senior season ( 467.5 offensive yards per game.) Grade: A |
| 162 | Washington |
 |
Brandon Jenkins Florida State OLB34 Reach/Value: +32 |
Height: 6'2" Weight: 251 |
Alternate Pick #1 Jordan Poyer Alternate Pick #2 Bacarri Rambo |
| Like Corners, it would appear as though you can never have enough pass rushers! Solid value here for a player who had a productive career at FSU. Grade: B+ |
| 163 | Chicago |
 |
Jordan Mills Louisiana Tech LOT Reach/Value: -10 |
Height: 6'5" Weight: 316 |
Alternate Pick #1 Jordan Poyer Alternate Pick #2 David Quessenberry |
| Long, Bushrod, and now Mills are transforming the Bears' OL right before our eyes. Mills is a monster truck with ballet feet and some quick to him. He had an impressive 5.14 forty this year Selected First Team All-Western Athletic Conference. Good value here given Bears' needs and premium on picks. Grade: B+ |
| 164 | Miami |
 |
Mike Gillislee Florida RBC Reach/Value: +37 |
Height: 5'11" Weight: 208 |
Alternate Pick #1 Reid Fragel Alternate Pick #2 Xavier Nixon |
| For the 2nd straight year the Dolphins took a mid-round back from an in-state school that fell a bit. Lamar Miller (Miami) was a value 4th Rounder last year. Now it's Gillislee from U of F. With the loss of Reggie Bush (and dislike for Daniel Thomas) Miami was expected to take a back. The Gator was 127 on our Big Board. Grade: B+ |
| 165 | Detroit |
|
Sam Martin Appalachain St P Reach/Value: -589 |
Height: 6'3" Weight: 230 |
Alternate Pick #1 Ryan Swope Alternate Pick #2 Da'Rick Rogers |
| A bit early for a punter, no? But Martin, an All-America Punter, averaged 49.5 yards per kick (40.8 net). Martin also handled kickoffs for the Mountaineers, notching 45 of 71 for touchbacks. Grade: C+ |
| 166 | Miami |
 |
Caleb Sturgis Florida PK Reach/Value: -126 |
Height: 5'10" Weight: 185 |
Alternate Pick #1 Reid Fragel Alternate Pick #2 Xavier Nixon |
| The Dolphins love them some Gators this draft, huh? The third one is headed to Miami; this time it's the kicker. They wanted competition for Carpenter, who may need to take a pay cut to stick around. Sturgis was fighting - and beat out - FSUs Hopkins to be 1st PK taken. Grade: B |
| 167 | Green Bay |
 |
Josh Boyd Mississippi State DT43 Reach/Value: -51 |
Height: 6'3" Weight: 310 |
Alternate Pick #1 Ryan Swope Alternate Pick #2 Bacarri Rambo |
| With Ryan Pickett and BJ Raji both in the final years of their deals, the Packers have to start looking ahead for someone to be Pickett's heir apparant. Boyd is a run-stuffer only, but is considered "undersized" at 6'3" 310lbs. A few trips with Raji and Pickett to some of those local Green Bay eateries should help. Grade: C+ |
| 168 | Baltimore |
 |
Ricky Wagner Wisconsin ROT Reach/Value: -46 |
Height: 6'6" Weight: 308 |
Alternate Pick #1 Jordan Poyer Alternate Pick #2 Ryan Swope |
| The Ravens may officially lose Bryant McKinnie on the Free Agent market any day now. While they may use Osemele, Reid, or even Yanda to replace him, Wagner is an intriguing option. He was the Badgers' LT for a number of years and excels in run blocking. Grade: B- |
