2. Tampa Bay Bucs: WR Calvin Johnson* [Georgia Tech]
Johnson is the best player in the draft and Gruden will not hesitate to move up and grab the 65 receiver.

3. Cleveland Browns: QB Bradie Quinn [Notre Dame]
The Browns want a franchise QB and Quinn is the closest thing to it at this point.

4. Detroit Lions: DE Gaines Adams [Clemson]
Marinnelli wants an elite pass rusher for his cover 2 defense and Adams is the smoothest pass usher in the draft.

6. Washington Redskins: DE Jamaal Anderson* [Arkansas]
The Skins will look long and hard at Okoye, but with just 19 sacks last year they will take Anderson who is a natural pass rusher.

16. Green Bay Packers: TE Greg Olsen* [Miami]
The Packers TE position was terrible last year. Olsen gives them a dynamic playmaker for Favre.

17. Jacksonville Jaguars: DE Adam Carriker [Nebraska]
The Jags were hoping for Nelson, but they will go BPA and take Carriker to bolster their DL.

18. Cincinnati Bengals: CB Darrelle Revis* [Pittsburgh]
The Bengals would like to take a DT here, but it is early for Harrell so they grab The best CB on the board and solidify their secondary.
19. Tennessee Titans: WR Tedd Ginn Jr. [Ohio State]

The Broncos need to address their DL and Moss has great pass rush potential.

22. Dallas Cowboys: WR Dwayne Bowe [LSU]
The Cowboys do not have a huge need at WR, but Bowe will provide youth in an aging receiving core.

23. Kansas City Chiefs: DT Justin Harrell [Tennessee]
The Chiefs have not been able to find an impact player at the DT. Harrell is a big wide bodied run stuffer with exceptional toughness.

30. San Diego Chargers: WR Robert Meachem* [Tennessee]
Meachem slips a little, but the Chargers dont mind as they can get a WR with some speed.
http://www.orlandosentinel.com/media...9/25303912.jpg
31. Chicago Bears: LB Lawrence Timmons* [Florida State]
The Bears relationship has soured and by picking Timmons they can look to deal the disgruntled player.
http://www.orlandosentinel.com/media...9/25215698.jpg
32. Indianapolis Colts: LB Paul Poslusky [Penn State]
The Colts need someone at LB to come in and play and while Paul P does not have the upside of Timmons or Beason he is ready to play.
