April is just around the corner, which means that the NFL Draft is fast approaching. With players having been closely examined at the Senior Bowl and fast on their way to being poked and prodded at the NFL Combine, I thought there is no better thing to do than see where these players are possibly headed at this point in the drafting process.

Here are picks 21-23:

21. Washington Redskins - Calais Campbell (DE), Miami - Calais Campbell is a huge defensive end. He's practically 6'8" and 280 pounds and has great feet for a man his size. While he is an excellent force on edge, he may or may not be a full time defensive end in the NFL, but he certainly can play defensive tackle if he has to. However, he is a very raw talent though and will require some refinement. The Redskins definitely could use a defensive end, and if Phillip Merling drops to this position, he could be in the draft pick here as well.

22. Dallas Cowboys - Felix Jones (RB), Arkansas - He may have been the backup to Darren McFadden in college, but he certainly has starter potential in the NFL. He has great speed and was often used as a compliment to McFadden for outside running plays. He is very reminiscent of free agent running back, and former Cowboys starter Julius Jones, and if the Cowboys don't re-sign him (and they are not supposed to), then Felix Jones is the perfect replacement. And as circumstances would have it, Felix would be a compliment to running back Marion Barber just as he was a compliment to Darren McFadden.
