17. Philadelphia Eagles- Rashaun Woods, WR, Oklahoma State- McNabb still needs a legitimate #1 reciever. Woods isn't a burner but always catches the ball, run good routes, blocks, and has deep threat ability. Comparable to Hines Ward.

18. Buffalo Bills- *David Pollack, DE, Georgia- Pollack is a great pass rusher who also stops the run very well. The Bills need a pass rusher to help the DB's out. Pollack is comparable to Trevor Pryce.

19. San Francisco 49ers- Lee Evans, WR, Wisconsin- With TO most likely gone next season, the Niners will need to reload at WR. Evans may scare teams away with his past injuries, but he still is a tremendous receiver. Barring any injuries the rest of the season, Evans should be a first rounder. Comparable to Amani Toomer.

20. Dallas Cowboys- Will Smith, DE, Ohio State- Ebenezer Ekuban should be a backup. Smith and Greg Ellis will give the boys a solid pass rush on both sides. The defense will be amazing if Smith has no trouble adjusting to the NFL. Comparable to Simeon Rice.

21. St. Louis Rams- *Chris Gamble, CB, Ohio State- The Rams need help at CB, they are constantly taken advantage of. Gamble gives the Rams a #1 guy allowing Travis Fisher to play a more comfortable #2. Comparable to Chris McAllister.

22. Carolina Panthers- Derrick Strait, CB, Oklahoma- Strait has the most experience and may prove to be best out of all the CB's in the draft. He is rarely thrown at by opposing QB's. This does not allow him to make very many plays, but he still makes the best out of his chances. Had 6 picks last season. Comparable to Troy Vincent.

23. Denver Broncos- DJ Williams, OLB, Miami- The best player available. Mobley has a spine injury and who knows how that will affect him. Williams will be insurance until he develops. Comparable to Joey Porter.

24. Tampa Bay Bucs- Jon Vilma, MLB, Miami- Vilma is an explosive MLB. The Bucs could use someone like that alongside Derrick Brooks. Comparable to Ray Lewis.
