17. Bengals - MLB Jonathan Vilma, Miami (FL)
Marvin Lewis has made no secret of his desire to move Kevin Hardy back to his more natural position outside and in Vilma, he gets the best 'backer in the draft.

18. Saints - CB DeAngelo Hall, Virginia Tech
New Orleans won't be able to resist Hall's speed. Although he may take some time to polish into a consistent lockdown corner, he will contribute right away in the return game.

19. Vikings - CB Dunta Robinson, South Carolina
Minnesota takes another shot at filling a perpetual weakness with the most polished corner in the draft. Let's just hope they get their pick in on time.

20. Dolphins - WR Michael Clayton, LSU
Whoever starts at quarterback next season will have a great young tandem to throw to in Clayton and Chris Chambers.

21. Patriots - RB Steven Jackson, Oregon State
Jackson is a perfect fit to provide balance and variety to an already potent attack.

22. Cowboys - DE Antwan Odom, Alabama
The top running backs off the board, Parcells replaces Ebenezer Ekuban in hopes of providing more pressure on the passer.

23. Seahawks - DE Marquise Hill, LSU
Seattle is thankful that Hill's hand was forced by dealings with an agent, as he gives them the edge rusher they've been after for years.

24. Broncos - CB Will Poole, USC
This playmaker should help prevent another playoff outing in which Denver surrenders five TD passes.
