NFL Draft 2013 Picks 17-32

Well let's pickup where we left off yesterday.

17. Pittsburgh Steelers-Alec Ogletree-LB
I could see them taking Fluker but I would not pass up the youth and speed that Ogletree can add to the defensive side of the ball.

18. Dallas Cowboys-Sylvester Williams-DT
This is worst care scenario for the Cowboys. They want to help the OL but all the top offensive lineman are gone. They could take Fluker but I think they will address this position in Free Agency. I dreamed that Cooper or Warmack fell to them but that is not going to happen.

19. New York Giants-DJ Fluker-OT
They have to keep Manning upright to have an chance at all in this division. This Giants team needs help on both sides of the ball but they can't ignore teams putting pressure on Manning. Giants are definitely in danger of slipping behind everyone else in the divison.

20. Chicago Bears-Manti Te'o-LB
This is safe pick at this point in the draft. Bears need a replacement for Urlacher. Te'o is not as athletic as Urlacher but is good against the pass and run. I think he can be a three down linebacker.

21.Cincinnati Bengals-Desmond Trufont-CB
Bengals are going with best player available and take Trufant. This definitely gives them a deep secondary.

22. St Louis Rams from Washington Redskins-Cordarrelle Patterson-WR
Rams took Vaccarco at 16 figuring a WR would be available. The gamble pays off.

23. Minnesota Vikings-Justin Hunter-WR
I had to change this pick after word got out that Keenan Allen was red flagged for drug tests at combine. He will fall to the second round. So it is highly likely Minnesota could trade back and still get him. Minnesota desperately needs help at WR. I think they will reach here. I would trade back with a team looking for a QB and pickup a WR and a later pick. Remember they have a second pick in round one that they can get help at LB.

24. Indianapolis Colts-DJ Hayden-CB
They need help on defense and Hayden is best player available at this point

25. Minnesota Vikings-Seattle Seahawks-Kevin Minter-LB
This is solid pick and I am not sure if he might be a better pick than Olgetree because of where they are getting him.

26. Green Bay Packers-Eddie Lacy-RB
Packers need to protect Rogers and one of the best ways to protect your QB and help the defense by shortening the game is by running the ball better. I didn't say more often just better.

27. Houston Texans-Robert Woods
The definitely need another weapon on offense and they need right tackle. I think they would have taken Fluker is he had fallen to them. They decide to go straight after the extra weapon on offense. Woods will be a nice complement to Andre Johnson.

28. Denver Broncos-Cornelius Washington-DE
They lost a great outside pass rusher in Elvis Dummervil and I think Washington can play with his hand on the ground and get after the QB. I really like this kid if he is put in the right defense where he can use his great athletic ability.

29. New England Patriots-Jonathon Cyprien-S
NE still needs help in the defensive secondary and they need a WR. Cyprien is best player available at these two positions.

30. Atlanta Falcons-Kyle Long-OT/G
This is solid pick because whats the point of bringing in Steven Jackson if you can't run the ball. Falcons have needs at right tackle and guard and Long can play either. His versatility makes him more valuable. If Long only played guard he would be mid second round. Falcons cut starting right tackle Tyson Clabo and starting Center Todd McClure retired. I would move Peter Konz from guard to center where he played at Wisconsin then plug in Long at guard.

31. San Francisco 49ers-Margus Hunt-DE
This is the a team with no great needs. I love this pick because it has vision in that Justin Smith was injured this past year and he is not getting any younger.

32. Baltimore Ravens-Tyler Eifert-TE
I see Ravens taking Notre Dame TE Tyler Eifert to give Flacco another weapon. They lost Boldin at WR when they traded him to SF and he was practically a TE in that he was huge physical receiver. They could play Pitta and Eifert together.
