17.) Cincinnati
CB - DeAngelo Hall - Marvin Lewis would like to get better play out of this position, and Hall would be a great pickup. I think Hall ends up being the #2 rated corner in the draft when all is said and done.

18.) New Orleans
CB - Dunta Robinson - From what I've heard, New Orleans is looking to come away from day 1 of the draft with two cornerbacks. I'd expect them to go after one of the best corners available with their first pick, and at this spot, that's going to be Dunta Robinson.

19.) Minnesota
LB - Jonathan Vilma - With Greg Biekert considering retirement, and no guarantee that Claiborne will re-sign with the team next season, Vilma will be too tempting to pass up.

20.) Miami
LT - Shawn Andrews - After cutting Mark Dixon, Miami needs to find a replacement, and they would jump for joy should Andrews fall this far in the first. Miami made a lot of cuts on the offensive line this off-season, so it would make sense for them to focus a bit more on that area in the draft.

21. New England (From Baltimore)
HB - Kevin Jones - It's no secret that New England would like to have a better running game, and if Jones is available, they'd like to have him aboard. The running game was off and on with Antowain Smith and Kevin Faulk splitting carries most of the time, but with Jones, they could have that franchise runningback they've been searching for. Another possibility is trading this pick. New England's cap situation isn't that great, and with 5 picks on day one, I doubt they'll keep them all.

22.) Dallas
HB - Chris Perry - Perry might be Dallas' guy if Jackson and Jones are already gone. I still have my doubts that he will get drafted in the first round, but Dallas might be hard pressed to pass him up. The runningback class isn't particularly strong this year, and with this team being ahead of schedule as far as getting to the playoffs is concerned, they might not want to take the risk of losing out on one of the top three backs in the draft. Maurice Clarett is also an option, but they aren't guaranteed to get him with their second round pick, so they have to be careful not to miss out on a top back.

23.) Seattle
DT - Randy Starks - Now that John Randle has retired, and they cut Chad Eaton, I think Seattle will look to draft a defensive tackle with their first pick.

24.) Denver
TE - Ben Troupe - Denver might want some insurance, should Shannon Sharpe decide to retire. If he does come back, this will likely be his last season, so getting Ben Troupe wouldn't be a bad idea.
