- Checkmarked picks represent Drafttek correct prognostications |
| 33 | St Louis |
 |
Brian Quick Appalachian State WRP Reach/Value: -60 |
Height: 6'4" Weight: 220 |
Alternate Pick #1 Jonathan Martin Alternate Pick #2 Stephen Hill |
| The Rams get their WR as predicted but as with Michael Brockers they select a high upside project in Appalachian St. Brian Quick. Quick is a big, strong, quick ex-basketball player that excels at finding space and creating it. Quick is not a pkug and pkay deep threat but has plus blocking ability in the run schemes. Grade: B |
| 34 | Indianapolis |
 |
Coby Fleener Stanford TE Reach/Value: +1 |
Height: 6'6" Weight: 247 |
Alternate Pick #1 Stephen Hill Alternate Pick #2 Janoris Jenkins |
| Indy needs Luck to feel comfortable and have the security blanket that he's been familiar with during their days at Stanford. Additionally, Luck now has a pretty good friend (and probably a roomie) for their rookie seasons in Indianapolis, so there's that part of the equation that makes it an even more understandable pick. Grade: A |
| 35 | Baltimore |
 |
Courtney Upshaw Alabama OLB34 Reach/Value: +21 |
Height: 6'2" Weight: 272 |
Alternate Pick #1 Cordy Glenn Alternate Pick #2 Peter Konz |
| Once again the Ravens find great value early in the draft with the selection of Upshaw here. Many expected Upshaw to come off the board in the 1st round, but the Ravens are happy to re-stock the shelf at OLB here. Great value. Great pick. Grade: A |
| 36 | Denver |
 |
Derek Wolfe Cincinnati DT43 Reach/Value: -89 |
Height: 6'5" Weight: 295 |
Alternate Pick #1 Devon Still Alternate Pick #2 Peter Konz |
| I love the player and the fit. I'm just not sure on the value here. Still no one should be surprised the Broncos stuck rigorously to their board and addressed their top need. Very much in MO for that FO. With a fantastic pass rush coming from the outside and some decent (average) run-stuffers in the middle, the Broncos D just got a lot better with a push up the middle. Grade B |
| 37 | Cleveland |
 |
Mitchell Schwartz California ROT Reach/Value: -48 |
Height: 6'5" Weight: 318 |
Alternate Pick #1 Stephen Hill Alternate Pick #2 Mike Adams |
| The Browns address a critical need for new QB Brandon Weeden. Schwartz, whose brother Geoff plays for Carolina is a durable swing tackle that logged 51 straight starts at Cal. He's more versatile than Bobby Massie, and is better suited for RT than Mike Adams. Now, it's time to go after a field stretching WR, or two. |
| 38 | Jacksonville |
 |
Andre Branch Clemson DE43 Reach/Value: +15 |
Height: 6'4" Weight: 259 |
Alternate Pick #1 Mike Adams Alternate Pick #2 Bobby Massie |
| Branch is a versatile DE that the Jaguars will line up at his natural outside rush position. Branch has solid body control, able to move around the defender and make the corner turn, and has good straightline speed. Needs to add more to his arsenal other than his favorite "dip" move. Grade: B- |
| 39 | St Louis |
 |
Janoris Jenkins North Alabama CB Reach/Value: -1 |
Height: 5'10" Weight: 193 |
Alternate Pick #1 Jonathan Martin Alternate Pick #2 Zach Brown |
| Jenkins is the best talent available and gives the Rams a solid secondary matched with Cortland Finnegan. Jenkins has all the tools to excel from Day 1 and if he can stay clear of trouble he will do just that. The Rams make it 3 for 3 in the boon or bust prospect list. Grade: A- |
| 40 | Carolina |
 |
Amini Silatolu Midwestern State OG Reach/Value: -24 |
Height: 6'4" Weight: 311 |
Alternate Pick #1 Devon Still Alternate Pick #2 Kendall Reyes |
| Silatolu was seen as one of the most naturally gifted interior OL in the draft, though he did play LT at Division II school Midwestern State. His level of competition isn't ideal however his size and athleticism make his potential sky high. The Panthers needed help on the inside and get it in a big way with Silatolu. He's raw and needs some development but could turn into a strong contributor for the Panthers. Grade: B |
|
|
| 41 | Buffalo |
 |
Cordy Glenn Georgia LOT Reach/Value: +15 |
Height: 6'5" Weight: 345 |
Alternate Pick #1 Zach Brown Alternate Pick #2 Jonathan Martin |
| Another SEC "Nix Pick"--the OT that Nix wanted all along, better in the run game than Martin. Glenn visited One Bills Drive and noted that he liked what he saw, and we bet the feeling will be mutual. Moving out to LT was an adjustment at first, but as the season went along, Glenn showed his football smarts, quickness, and length. Hairston is going to have some major competition at Fitz's blind side, and we now have some road graders for Freddie and CJ. Considering this could have easily been the Bills first pick, this is a big win. Grade: A |
| 42 | Miami |
 |
Jonathan Martin Stanford LOT Reach/Value: +17 |
Height: 6'5" Weight: 312 |
Alternate Pick #1 Stephen Hill Alternate Pick #2 Reuben Randle |
| Martin was considered a fringe 1st round pick out of Stanford, where he served as protector for #1 overall pick Andrew Luck. The biggest knock on Martin was his lack of strength in the run game. In Miami he'll fight with Artis Hicks and Lydon Murtha for the RT job. Solid value for the Dolphins at a position of need. Grade: A |
| 43 | NY Jets |
 |
Stephen Hill Georgia Tech WRF Reach/Value: +14 |
Height: 6'5" Weight: 200 |
Alternate Pick #1 Mike Adams Alternate Pick #2 Bobby Massie |
| Seems like there's a trend of Tim Tebow throwing to GT Alumni with the Jets selection of Stephen Hill here. Hill has great straight-line speed, strong hands and is probably the top red zone threat in the draft. He'll need some time to refine his route running, but this is a high upside player who could dominate the league in a few years. Grade: A |
| 44 | Kansas City |
 |
Jeff Allen Illinois OG Reach/Value: -47 |
Height: 6'4" Weight: 307 |
Alternate Pick #1 Peter Konz Alternate Pick #2 Jayron Hosley |
| The third member of the Fighting Illini goes in the top 45 of the 2012 draft. Allen beefs up the Chiefs along the OLine and provides KC with a thick, versatile lineman who is better at pass protection than run blocker. (B+) |
| 45 | Chicago |
 |
Alshon Jeffery South Carolina WRF Reach/Value: -3 |
Height: 6'3" Weight: 216 |
Alternate Pick #1 Devon Still Alternate Pick #2 Kendall Reyes |
| No one smiling wider right now than Jay Cutler, unless he's still worried about his protection. Jeffery gives Chicago a tough, goes-up-for-the-ball-wideout to line up with Brandon Marshall as the Bears two top wideouts. If Johnny Knox can come back proper off that horrendous hit from a year ago, the Bears potentially have four receivers that must be accounted for: Marshall, Jeffery, Knox & Hester. Grade: B+ |
| 46 | Philadelphia |
 |
Mychal Kendricks California OLB43 Reach/Value: +7 |
Height: 5'11" Weight: 240 |
Alternate Pick #1 Zach Brown Alternate Pick #2 Reuben Randle |
| Our sim had been looking at Kendricks following his strong combine performance though the addition of DeMeco Ryans had it go in another direction. The Eagles scouts and front office believe Kendricks is capable of playing all three of their 4-3 LB spots though. The teams' website lists him as a SAM so it loks as though the LB corp is now set. Grade: A |
| 47 | Seattle |
 |
Bobby Wagner Utah State OLB43 Reach/Value: +1 |
Height: 6'0" Weight: 235 |
Alternate Pick #1 Zach Brown Alternate Pick #2 Lamar Miller |
| Sounds like the Hawks traded down but missed out on the guy they really wanted which was Kendricks. Wagner was a highly productive ILB while at Utah State posting 147 tackles during his senior season. Good all-around linebacker and the value was just about right here. Level of competition is a concern but Wagner should be able to keep producing at the NFL level. Grade: B |
| 48 | New England |
 |
Tavon Wilson Illinois FS Reach/Value: -294 |
Height: 6'0" Weight: 205 |
Alternate Pick #1 Devon Still Alternate Pick #2 Mike Adams |
| The secondary was a defenite area of need but with the likes of Josh Robinson and Markelle Martin on the board, plus some great d-linemen (Still, Reyes, etc), this is a reach. A HUGE one. Wilson did not appear on our Big Board, which ranked over 300 prospects. This is reminiscent of the Raiders pick of Ohio's Mitchell a few years ago. Maybe Wilson will perform the way Eugene Wilson did at the beginning of his career? Grade: F |
