Early look at the Draft

Round 1: Joe Thomas, LT, Wisconsin. If Thomas is already taken, trade down in the 8-13 range and pick up an extra 2nd rounder and 4th rounder. Then select either Justin Blalock, OT/OG, Texas, or Levi Brown, OT, Penn State. If both of these players are gone select Daymeion Hughes, CB, California.

Round 2: If OL was taken in first round, select Marcus McCauley, CB, Fresno State; Chris Houston, CB, Arkansas; or Fred Bennett, CB, South Carolina. If CB was taken in first round, select Arron Sears, OT, Tennessee, or Joe Staley, OT, Central Michigan.

Round 2 (if 1st rnd trade down occurs): select Johnathan Harrell, DT, Tennessee, or Adam Carriker, DE, Nebraska.

Round 3: Select Tim Duckworth, OG, Auburn; or Joe Anoai, DE, Georgia Tech; or Anthony Gonzalez, WR, Ohio State.

Round 4: If Michael Turner was not signed, select Tyrone Moss, RB, Miami. If Turner was signed select John Beck, QB, BYU; or Prescott Burgess, OLB, Michigan; or Dallas Sartz, OLB, USC; or Dallas Baker, WR, Florida.

Round 4 (if trade down occurred): If RB was selected with previous pick, select Beck, QB; or Burgess, OLB; or Sartz, OLB; or Baker, WR. If QB was selected with previous pick, select Burgess, OLB; or Sartz, OLB; or Bryan Robison, DE, Texas.

Round 5: If only one or two DL were previously selected, pick Bryan Robison, DE, Texas; or David Patterson, DE, Ohio State; or Marcus Thomas, DE, Florida. If more than two were already selected, pick Dan Mozes, C, West Virginia, or Dustin Fry, C/G, Clemson.

Round 6: Take fliers on players with physical attributes. Look at massive DTs Kelly Talavou, Utah, or Howie Fuimaono, UNLV; or Travarous Bain, CB, Hampton; or Ryan Moore, WR, Miami; or Selvin Young, RB, Texas.

Round 7: Look for large possession WRs for third down. Select Eric Deslauriers, Eastern Michigan or Eric Moore, Stanford, who might also be able to play TE. If both these guys are gone, take a look at Derik Landry, DE, Notre Dame.

Undrafted Players:
Roy Hall, WR/TE, Ohio State - He lacked opportunites to play while at Ohio State. Has 4.4 speed and is a chiseled 240lbs, making him quite a nice player for at TE. Even picture him blocking on a WR screen.

Nate Ilaoa, RB/FB, Hawaii - Very nimble and quick feet for a guy that weighs 250. Would be a great short yardage back.
