Round 1 | Round 2 | Round 3

9. Carolina Panthers - Jordan Gross, OT Utah
Melvin Tuten did an adequate job last season, but he is a much better fit as a backup. Gross is a natural athlete and a fantastic run blocker. In the passing game, he has good, quick footwork and excellent balance.

10. Baltimore Ravens - Byron Leftwich, QB Marshall
Leftwich seems to be slipping a little on most draft boards, and I think Baltimore is the most likely beneficiary of his drop. They are probably targeting an offensive tackle with this pick, but if Leftwich is available, they will take him.

11. Seattle Seahawks - Johnathon Sullivan, DT Georgia
Seattle is a run defense away from being in the playoffs this year, so I would be surprised if they don't take a defensive lineman with their first pick. Sullivan is good at disrupting the interior line and collapsing the pocket. He also creates a logjam in the middle of the line, making it tough to run between the tackles.

12. St. Louis Rams - Boss Bailey, LB Georgia
Bailey is a great athlete that runs and jumps well, but has a problem wrapping up on tackles at times. There is a discrepancy in the reported times he ran during workouts, ranging anywhere from 4.35 to 4.55. Regardless, his stock seems to be rising and he could end up as a top-ten pick. If he's available here, I don't think the Rams will let him get by.

13. Chicago Bears (from Washington through NY Jets) - Kevin Williams DT, Oklahoma State
The Bears gave up a chance to draft Robertson at #4, but I don't think there is a big dropoff in picking Williams. He has good speed and quickness for a 300 pounder, and has the strength to stuff the run. Could stand to bulk up a little. He's an explosive pass rusher with the speed and agility of a defensive end. Could rotate between the positions if needed.

14. New England Patriots (From Buffalo) - Ty Warren, DT Texas A&M
The Patriots would like to move to a 3-4 defense this year, and the selection of Warren would allow them to move Richard Seymour to defensive end. Warren has very good initial quickness and is good at getting penetration, but needs to improve his conditioning and consistency.

15. San Diego Chargers - Kwame Harris, OT Stanford
With the signings of WR David Boston and FB Lorenzo Neal, the Chargers are a left tackle away from a very potent offense.

16. Kansas City Chiefs - Jerome McDougle, DE Miami (Fla)
They were ranked 31st in passing yards per game in 2002, but any of the corners still on the board would be a huge risk with the 16th pick. This is another team that could make the leap to the next level if they can upgrade the defense.
