5 - ARI: Gabbert, Blaine - QB - Missouri
6 - CLE: Bowers, Da'Quan - DE - Clemson
7 - SF: Fairley, Nick - DT - Auburn

23 - PHI: Solder, Nate - OT - Colorado
24 - NO: Kerrigan, Ryan - DE - Purdue
25 - SEA: Sherrod, Derek - OT - Mississippi St.
26 - BAL: Smith, Jimmy - CB - Colorado
27 - ATL: Sheard, Jabaal - DE - Pittsburgh

29 - CHI: Baldwin, Jon - WR - Pittsburgh
30 - NYJ: Clayborn, Adrian - DE - Iowa
31 - PIT: Ijalana, Benjamin - OG - Villanova
32 - GB: Williams, Ryan - RB - Virginia Tech

Notes: DE's DT's and OT's dominate the talent pool this year.  This is a great year to play one of those positions because mediocre talent that would have gone undrafted 5 years ago will get a sure spot in camp to provide depth to a team. Even though the kick-off rule changes will leave less room for big men on the roster because they won't have a big spot on special teams, the NFL has always perferred young prospects to proven bench-warmers.

Also look out for NE trading down from that 17 spot, and look for Chicago to trade up to secure a OT.
