Ok, there is a lot of talent left if one goes by the grades on NFL.com.
We have picks 114, 156, 157 and 194.
Four picks and not a lot of needs when it comes to our team. Obviously secondary help is going to be something we look at, but with the selection of Kindle in the first the pass rush should help cover our average CBs.
So, let's take a look at who might be available with our final picks.
At number 114 I'm going to do the unthinkable- Ladies and gentlemen, I present Corey Wooten, DE from Northwestern.
Corey Wooten- 6'6, 270 pounds. A knee injury in the Alamo Bowl prior to the start of last season hindered him. As most of us know, a knee injury takes at least two years to come all the way back from. That said, in 2008 he produced 10 sacks. He is solid against the run and can play end in either a 4-3 or 3-4.
Another option at 114 is another pick at an area we have no need. RB Jonathan Dwyer from Georgia Tech.
First thing to notice is his size. 5'11, 229 pounds. He is a straight ahead, one plant and go runner, perfect for our offense. Dwyer will require some coaching in regards to the passing game, but with McGhee likely gone after next season we have a chance to provide his replacement now. Would be a perfect compliment to Rice.
Round 5 we have back to back picks, numbers 156 and 157.
156 Akwasi Owusu-Ansah, CB from Indiana (PA). 6'0, 207 pounds, 4.47 speed.
I played against this school the last time we won a National Championship so maybe I'm just being sentimental, but this guy has all the measureables to be a solid starting CB in a few years, after we train him up a bit. The fact he played against a "lower" level of competition shouldn't matter in this day and age. How many times have we seen a small school prospect come to the NFL and flourish?
At number 157, my favorite player in the draft, we have Joe Webb, QB from UAB.
I'm not gonna repeat everything there is to love about the guy. I want him, he's an amazing athlete and we need to draft a receiver. Get this guy Oz!
Number 194. So far only one of my picks have made any sort of sense considering what posistions we need filled. So with our final pick I'm going to continue the trend.
Jonathan Crompton, QB from Tennessee. Comes from a pro-style system in college, threw 27 TDs against 13 INTs his senior year. Had a 58.7 completion percentage in the SEC. Has the arm to make all the NFL throws, and the feet to escape pressure.
