Round 1 | 2 | 3 | 4 | 5 | 6 | 7
24. (56) Cincinatti Bengals (from Miami thru NE) - Darrion Scott, DE Ohio State
The Bengals need an every-down defensive end who can hold up to the run and provide a pass-rushing threat to draw some of the attention away from Justin Smith.
25. (57) Tennessee Titans - Greg Jones, RB Florida State
Eddie George is on the downside of his career and Chris Brown was slowed by injury. The Titans need to add some depth at running back and someone to compete with Brown as George's successor.
26. (58) Philadelphia Eagles - Julius Jones, RB Notre Dame
Duce Staley is gone and it's questionable whether Correll Buckhalter can hold up as a workhorse back. Look for the Eagles to grab a running back on day one to share the load.
27. (59) Indianapolis Colts - Jeremy LeSeuer, CB Michigan
Walt Harris isn't getting any younger and David Macklin is a free agent, so look for the Colts to grab a corner on the first day.
28. (60) New Orleans Saints (from St. Louis) - Bob Sanders, S Iowa
Jay Bellamy is beyond his prime, Victor Green probably won't be back, and Mel Mitchell is coming off a knee injury that cost him the entire 2003 season.
29. (61) Kansas City Chiefs - Isaac Sopoaga, DT Hawaii
The addition of Lional Dalton provides depth, but the Chiefs need a legitimate starter to line up next to Ryan Sims, who faces almost constant double teams.
30. (62) Carolina Panthers - Ahmad Carroll, CB Arkansas
Reggie Howard left via free agency and Terry Cousin was released, so depth is an immediate issue. Signing Artrell Hawkins filled a void, but the Panthers need a corner that can line up on the outside, allowing Ricky Manning Jr. to move inside.
31. (63) New England Patriots - Nat Dorsey, OT Georgia Tech
Adrian Klemm is coming off a season-ending ankle injury, and might be released. Tom Ashworth is a capable backup, but will likely struggle as a full-time starter. The Patriots will probably use one of their first-day picks to solidify the position.
