2007 NFL Draft: Projected Picks 22-32
Defense Steals the Show as the First Round Comes to a Close
Embed:
22. DALLAS COWBOYS- CB Aaron Ross (6'1'', 192) TexasDallas needs help in the secondary and Ross is a great pick. He is a hometown boy coming from the Longhorns and he has great size and speed. With the Cowboys woes in the defensive backfield he could be starting across Terrence Newman at season's end.
23. KANSAS CITY CHIEFS- WR Sidney Rice (6'4'', 202) South Carolina
The Chiefs have a nice high powered offense, but with players getting older they need some help and Sidney Rice is a great fit. He has great size and hands, lacks great speed, but he makes up with it with his length and ability to get separation. He could be a fit for small corners especially out of the slot.
24. NEW ENGLAND PATRIOTS- LB Paul Posluszny (6'2'', 238) Penn State
This could be a stretch for Posluszny because he has a chance to even fall to the second round. But he played both inside and outside linebacker in college so he could fit either place for the Patriots. He has great character and seems to be a Belichek guy. He could be a great fit.
25. NEW YORK JETS- DE Anthony Spencer (6'3'', 266) Purdue
With this pick the Jets could pretty much take anyone. Greg Olsen is a possibility after his great combine, but they need help at running back and cornerback and with the premier guys gone there is nobody left at those positions that would be a good pick at number 25. The Jets have a high possibility to trade up or down with this pick.
26. PHILADELPHIA EAGLES- WR Robert Meachem (6'3'', 210) Tennessee
It seems like the Eagles always need help with wide receivers every off-season and this one is no different. Stallworth could be gone so they need a playmaker on the outside to help McNabb come back smoothly after a season ending injury. Meachem is a big time playmaker who could fit in well at Philadelphia.
27. NEW ORLEANS SAINTS- CB Marcus McCauley (6'1'', 205) Fresno State
The Saints need big time help at corner and McCauley could do that for them. They are aging in the secondary so the future needs to be recognized.
28. NEW ENGLAND PATRIOTS- LB Lawrence Timmons (6'3'', 230) Florida State
