The Buccaneers have made it clear they do not have a problem with Jameis Winston’s past transgressions — at least the coaching staff and scouts don’t. If true, it means his name will likely be the first we hear Roger Goodell call on April 30 in Chicago.
We can now turn our attention to the No. 2 overall pick. Will the Titans take Marcus Mariota? Will they take Leonard Williams — the No. 1 player on my Big Board? Will they trade the pick? This is where the draft process becomes truly interesting.
The NFL Draft has become a nice appetizer before our main course in September. A mock version of said draft is meant to educate, and even entertain. At very least, it helps you pass the time.

What follows is an early attempt at figuring out the best players available in this season’s draft class, and which teams they’d match up well with. Follow me on Twitter @UTEddieBrown for weekly NFL draft updates.
Here’s the latest version of my 2015 NFL Mock Draft, now a complete seven rounds with compensatory picks:
ROUND ONE
1) Tampa Bay (2-14) – Jameis Winston, QB, Florida State, So.
It appears the Buccaneers are comfortable with Winston, regardless of his off-the-field baggage. At very least, they’ve gone out of their way to make it appear that way. I do believe Winston is slightly more pro-ready than Mariota — especially with his ball placement skills — but all the comparisons to Peyton Manning and Andrew Luck are a little much. Ben Roethlisberger? That’s a potential fit, which isn’t bad. Top needs: OT, pass rusher, QB
2) Tennessee (2-14) – Marcus Mariota, QB, Oregon, Jr.
Mariota may not end up playing for the Titans, but I’m a believer he ends up getting drafted here. There’s an outside chance they do take him — Zach Mettenberger doesn’t inspire a lot of confidence — but it’s more likely a team makes a “Godfather” offer for the Heisman winner. Many scouts question his capabilities in a pro-style system, but he reminds me of Russell Wilson, only taller with a stronger arm. Top needs: RT, WR, DE

3) Jacksonville (3-13) – Vic Beasley, OLB/DE, Clemson, Sr.
I predicted Beasley would be a star of the combine and he didn’t disappoint. He’s the most explosive pure pass rusher in this class, and would have been a first round draft pick last May. The Von Miller-clone is a perfect fit for head coach Gus Bradley’s hybrid system. Top needs: DE, RB, CB
4) Oakland (3-13) – Leonard Williams, DT, USC, Jr.
The Raiders lucked out last year when Khalil Mack fell in their lap. Lightning apparently can strike twice, as the Raiders land the best player in this draft with the fourth pick. Top needs: Pass rusher, WR, CB
5) Washington (4-12) – Dante Fowler, Jr., OLB/DE, Florida, Jr.
Edge rusher is now a significant need with Brian Orapko bolting for Tennessee. The numbers don’t always show it, but Fowler is the definition of disruption and his experience in a hybrid system at Florida will make his transition at the next level even easier. Top needs: OL, DB, LB
6) N.Y. Jets (4-12) – Shane Ray, OLB/DE, Missouri, Jr.
Ray was a little banged up at the combine, but ran in the 4.5s at his Pro Day despite dealing with a nagging toe injury. He also has a very productive season at Mizzou to fall back on. Top needs: RB, OL, OLB
7) Chicago (5-11) – Amari Cooper, WR, Alabama, Jr.
The Bears replace Brandon Marshall with the top receiver in this class. Cooper is one of the most polished prospects at the position to enter the draft in the last decade. You can’t argue with the Heisman finalist’s 2014 numbers either: 124 receptions, 1,727 yards and 16 touchdowns. He did nothing in Indianapolis or at his Pro Day to hurt himself. Top needs: DL, WR, LB
8) Atlanta (6-10) – Alvin Dupree, OLB/DE, Kentucky, Sr.
The Falcons hired head coach Dan Quinn to fix the defense. “Bud” had one of the best first steps in all of college football and is able to attack the quarterback either from the end position or outside linebacker. Top needs: Pass rusher, OL, TE
9) N.Y. Giants (6-10) – Kevin White, WR, West Virginia, Sr.
GM Jerry Reese will take a “playmaker” over an offensive lineman every day of the week and twice on Sunday. White was able to thrive in the Big-12 despite facing double and triple coverage at times. There are even some scouts who rank him higher than Cooper, and after his combine performance, it’s hard to fault them, but I value Cooper’s experience in the SEC. Top needs: Pass rusher, OL, S
10) St. Louis (6-10) – Brandon Scherff, OT, Iowa, Sr.
The Rams land this year’s Zack Martin. Scherff’s tenacity makes him ideal for the brutal NFC West. Top needs: OL, WR, LB
11) Minnesota (7-9) – DeVante Parker, WR, Louisville, Sr.
I’m positive Teddy Bridgewater has spread the gospel of Parker throughout the Vikings organization. Top needs: CB, WR, ILB
12) Cleveland (7-9) – Danny Shelton, DT, Washington, Sr.
The Browns attempt to improve their porous defensive line. They were last in the NFL in stopping the run last season. Shelton certainly helped his cause with an impressive week at the Senior Bowl. His remarkably slow 40-yard dash (crawl?) in Indy won’t affect his stock at all. What matters is his impact on the field, something he rarely leaves. Shelton played the second most snaps of any defensive tackle in the country last season. Top needs: WR, DT, QB
13) New Orleans (7-9) – Randy Gregory, OLB/DE, Nebraska, Jr.
It’s as simple as taking the best pass rusher available for the Saints. Failing a drug test at the combine is never understandable. It will cause a potential Top 5 pick to fall out of the Top 10 on draft day. Top needs: Pass rusher, CB, WR
14) Miami (8-8) – Todd Gurley, RB, Georgia, Jr.
The top three receivers are off the board, so the Dolphins go Best Player Available. A healthy Gurley would have been selected even higher. Top needs: WR, CB, OG
15) San Francisco (8-8) – Trae Waynes, CB, Michigan State, Jr.
Cornerback is a big need after letting both starters — Chris Culliver and Parrish Cox — leave in free agency. Waynes has the height and athleticism to match up with pretty much anyone, plus he cemented himself as the first cornerback off the board by running a ridiculous 4.31 40-yard dash in Indy. Top needs: CB, ILB, WR
16) Houston (9-7) – Marcus Peters, CB, Washington, Jr.
There are nothing but question marks behind starting cornerbacks Kareem Jackson and Johnathan Joseph, and Joseph is in the final year of his contract. Peters would likely be considered the top cover corner in this draft if it weren’t for character concerns. Top needs: WR, DB, LB
17) San Diego (9-7) – Malcom Brown, DT, Texas, Jr.
I’ve advocated for defensive line help for the Chargers in the first round of the last two drafts, and since running back is a very deep position in this draft, the value lies with upgrading the trenches. Brown, a first-team All-Big 12 selection, has the skill set and versatility to line up anywhere on the D-line. He excels at plugging up the middle — which would enhance the entire defense — but also has the ability to disrupt the pocket and make his share of plays behind the line of scrimmage. Top needs: DT, RB, OLB
18) Kansas City (9-7) – Kevin Johnson, CB, Wake Forest, Sr.
Jeremy Maclin is in the bag, so the Chiefs can focus on plugging other holes. With Sean Smith and Jamell Fleming both entering contract years — and Smith possibly facing a two-game suspension for violating the NFL’s substance abuse policy — a cornerback makes sense here. Johnson’s cover skills, athleticism and competitiveness could help him start right away. Top needs: OL, WR, CB
19) Cleveland through Buffalo (9-7) – Breshad Perriman, WR, Central Florida, Jr.
The Browns likely need multiple receivers in this draft after yet another Josh Gordon suspension. Teams covet Perriman’s size/speed combination. Top needs: WR, DT, QB
20) Philadelphia (10-6) – Landon Collins, SS, Alabama, Jr.
Collins is athletic, instinctive and a strong tackler. His versatility and Alabama pedigree sets him apart from all other safety prospects in this draft class. Top needs: WR, OG, DB
21) Cincinnati (10-5-1) – Ereck Flowers, OT, Miami, Jr.
Both starting tackles will be free agents after the 2015 season. Flowers may have the highest ceiling of all the tackles in this draft. The combination of his combine performance with his tape against Florida State could catapult him even higher. Top needs: OL, LB, pass rusher
22) Pittsburgh (11-5) – Jalen Collins, CB, LSU, Jr.
There was already a lot of “buzz” surrounding Collins before the combine, and his impressive performance in Indy did nothing but confirm it. Collins size, speed and athleticism, plus his SEC pedigree make him a perfect fit for the Steelers. Top needs: DB, OLB, TE
23) Detroit (11-5) – Andrus Peat, OT, Stanford, Jr.
Even with the addition of Haloti Ngata, the Lions will have to address the defensive line at some point, but the value lies with the offensive line here. The 6-foot-7, 312 pound Peat is a road-grader in the running game, but his feet and agility should enable him to develop into a high-level pass protector as well. Top needs: CB, OL, DT
24) Arizona (11-5) – Cameron Erving, OL, Florida State, Sr.
Erving is one of the few plug-and-play options in this draft. He’s capable of playing every position on the offensive line at a high level. Top needs: Pass rusher, RB, OL
25) Carolina (7-8-1) – D.J. Humphries, OT, Florida, Jr.
Cam Newton was safer behind the wheel of his pickup truck than in the pocket behind his offensive line this season. It has to be the Panthers No. 1 priority this off-season. Humphries is a superior athlete and plays with a nasty demeanor. Top needs: OL, WR, CB
26) Baltimore (10-6) – Jaelen Strong, WR, Arizona State, Jr.
Wide receiver was a priority before Torrey Smith left during free agency. Strong has the best ball skills in this draft class, which is perfect for a quarterback like Joe Flacco who trusts his strong arm and his receivers to make plays. Top needs: WR, CB, OL
27) Dallas (12-4) – Melvin Gordon, RB, Wisconsin, Sr.
The Cowboys need more playmakers on the defensive side of the ball if they truly want to compete for a championship. However, U-T Sports Editor Todd Adams sums up Jerry Jones perfectly: “He loves his skill players.” I worry about Gordon’s usage at Wisconsin. His total touches were approaching 700, and you’d like to draft a running back around 500. It’s really hard to argue with 2,587 yards and 29 touchdowns though. Top needs: CB, DT, RB
28) Denver (12-4) – La’el Collins, OT, LSU, Sr.
After losing Orlando Franklin to the Chargers, the Broncos need to address the right side of their offensive line. Collins — one of the draft’s best run blockers and most versatile lineman — will make life easier for Peyton Manning and C.J. Anderson. Top needs: ILB, OL, DL
29) Indianapolis (11-5) – Quinten Rollins, CB, Miami (Ohio), Sr.
Rollins is a natural ball-hawk, and could easily play safety at the next level. Top needs: DL, DB, OL
30) Green Bay (12-4) – Eric Kendricks, ILB, UCLA, Sr.
Kendricks is a tackling machine who makes plays sideline to sideline. His selection would allow Clay Matthews to move back to his normal position of outside linebacker. Top needs: CB, TE, ILB
31) New Orleans through Seattle (12-4) – Phillip Dorsett, WR, Miami, Sr.
Brandin Cooks handling the intermediary routes while Dorsett stretches the field is a scary thought. Top needs: Pass rusher, CB, WR
32) New England (12-4) – Eddie Goldman, DT, Florida State, Jr.
Goldman would be the perfect successor to Vince Wilfork. He is a stump in the middle and is only scratching the surface of his potential. Top needs: DL, CB, WR
ROUND TWO
33) Tennessee – T.J. Clemmings, OT, Pittsburgh, Sr.
34) Tampa Bay – Jake Fisher, OT, Oregon, Sr.
35) Oakland – Dorial Green-Beckham, WR, Oklahoma, Jr.
36) Jacksonville – Jay Ajayi, RB, Boise State, Jr.
37) N.Y. Jets – Tevin Coleman, RB, Indiana, Jr.
38) Washington – Cedric Ogbuehi, OT, Texas A&M, Sr.
39) Chicago – Arik Armstead, DT, Oregon, Jr.
40) N.Y. Giants – Preston Smith, DE, Mississippi State, Sr.
41) St. Louis – Nelson Agholor, WR, USC, Jr.
42) Atlanta – Maxx Williams, TE, Minnesota, So.
43) Cleveland – Danielle Hunter, DE, LSU, Jr.
44) New Orleans – Byron Jones, CB, Connecticut, Sr.
45) Minnesota – Eric Rowe, CB, Utah, Sr.
46) San Francisco – Benardrick McKinney, ILB, Mississippi State, Jr.
47) Miami – Sammie Coates, WR, Auburn, Jr.
48) San Diego – Brett Hundley, QB, UCLA, Jr.
I don’t believe the Chargers will trade Philip Rivers, but I do believe they are interested in adding a quarterback for him to groom as his eventual replacement (especially if he really doesn’t want to move to Los Angeles). Mariota isn’t the only QB they’ve done their due diligence on during the draft process. Hundley has all the tools to succeed at the next level. The biggest question mark is his accuracy, but any coaching stuff worth their salt will be able to tweak his mechanics. Bonus: Unlike the Chargers, he already has a fan base in L.A.
49) Kansas City – Devin Smith, WR, Ohio State, Sr.
50) Buffalo – A.J. Cann, OG, South Carolina, Sr.
Cann would help the Bills continue a revamp of their interior offensive line by playing left guard or center. The second-team AP All-American was a four-year starter for the Gameco*cks and was also rated the nation’s No. 2 center by Rivals coming out of high school. Top needs: QB, OG, S
51) Houston – Eli Harold, OLB, Virginia, Jr.
52) Philadelphia – Laken Tomlinson, OG, Duke, Sr.
53) Cincinnati – Owamagbe Odighizuwa, DE, UCLA, Sr.
54) Detroit – Jordan Phillips, DT, Oklahoma, So.
55) Arizona – Mario Edwards, Jr., DE, Florida State, Jr.
56) Pittsburgh – Shaq Thompson, OLB, Washington, Jr.
57) Carolina – Tyler Lockett, WR, Kansas State, Sr.
58) Baltimore – Ronald Darby, CB, Florida State, Jr.
59) Denver – Devin Funchess, WR, Michigan, Jr.
60) Dallas – Michael Bennett, DT, Ohio State, Sr.
61) Indianapolis – Carl Davis, DT, Iowa, Sr.
62) Green Bay – P.J. Williams, CB, Florida State, Jr.
63) Seattle – Hroniss Grasu, C, Oregon, Sr.
The Seahawks replace Max Unger with his doppleganger. Grasu’s experience and productivity in the Ducks’ zone-blocking system makes this an easy choice. Top needs: OL, WR, CB
64) New England – Ameer Abdullah, RB, Nebraska, Sr.
ROUND THREE
65) Tampa Bay – Nate Orchard, OLB/DE, Utah, Jr.
66) Tennessee – Rashad Greene, WR, Florida State, Sr.
67) Jacksonville – Josh Shaw, CB, USC, Sr.
68) Oakland – Ifo Ekpre-Olomu, CB, Oregon, Sr.
69) Washington – Cody Prewitt, FS, Ole Miss, Sr.
70) N.Y. Jets – Tre’ Jackson, OG, Florida State, Sr.
71) Chicago – Stephone Anthony, ILB, Clemson, Sr.
72) St. Louis – Denzel Perryman, ILB, Miami, Sr.
73) Atlanta – Donovan Smith, OT, Penn State, Jr.
74) N.Y. Giants – Damarious Randall, FS, Arizona State, Sr.
75) New Orleans – Ali Marpet, OG, Hobart, Sr.
76) Minnesota – Paul Dawson, ILB, TCU, Sr.
77) Cleveland – Clive Walford, TE, Miami, Sr.
78) New Orleans through Miami – Grady Jarrett, DT, Clemson, Sr.
79) San Francisco – Duke Johnson, RB, Miami, Jr.
80) Kansas City – Reese Dismukes, C, Auburn, Sr.
81) Buffalo – Ibraheim Campbell, SS, Northwestern, Sr.
82) Houston – David Johnson, RB, Northern Iowa, Sr.
83) San Diego – T.J. Yeldon, RB, Alabama, Jr.
If the Chargers don’t take a running back in the first round, I’d be surprised if they didn’t select one on day two of the draft. Yeldon has exceptional athleticism for his size (6-feet-1, 226 pounds) and showcases good instincts. He has the foot quickness to create for himself when blocks are missed.
84) Philadelphia – Chris Conley, WR, Georgia, Sr.
85) Cincinnati – Hau’oli Kikaha, OLB, Washington, Sr.
86) Arizona – Bryce Petty, QB, Baylor, Sr.
87) Pittsburgh – Jaquiski Tartt, SS, Samford, Sr.
88) Detroit – Doran Grant, CB, Ohio State, Sr.
89) Carolina – Alex Carter, CB, Stanford, Jr.
90) Baltimore – Arie Kouandjio, OG, Alabama, Sr.
91) Dallas – D’Joun Smith, CB, Florida Atlantic, Sr.
92) Denver – Xavier Cooper, DT, Washington State, Jr.
93) Indianapolis – Ty Sambrailo, OT, Colorado State, Sr.
94) Green Bay – Jeff Hauerman, TE, Ohio State, Sr.
95) Seattle – Trey Flowers, DE, Arkansas, Sr.
96) New England – Steven Nelson, CB, Oregon State, Sr.
97) *New England – Lorenzo Mauldin, OLB, Louisville, Sr.
98) *Kansas City – Za’Darius Smith, DE, Kentucky, Sr.
99) *Cincinnati – Jesse James, TE, Penn State, Jr.
ROUND FOUR
100) Tennessee – Henry Anderson, DE, Stanford, Sr.
101) New England through Tampa Bay – John Miller, OG, Louisville, Sr.
102) Oakland – Josue Matias, OG, Florida State, Sr.
103) Jacksonville – B.J. Finney, C, Kansas State, Sr.
104) N.Y. Jets – Tre McBride, WR, William & Mary, Sr.
105) Washington – Senquez Golson, CB, Mississippi, Sr.
106) Chicago – Derron Smith, FS, Fresno State, Sr.
107) Atlanta – Jeremy Langford, RB, Michigan State, Sr.
108) N.Y. Giants – Daryl Williams, OT, Oklahoma, Sr.
109) Tampa Bay through St. Louis – Gerod Holliman, FS, Louisville, Jr.
110) Minnesota – Kurtis Drummond, FS, Michigan State, Sr.
111) Cleveland – Garrett Grayson, QB, Colorado State, Sr.
112) Seattle through New Orleans – Justin Hardy, WR, Eastern Carolina, Sr.
113) Philadelphia through Buffalo via San Francisco – Jacoby Glenn, CB, Central Florida, So.
114) Miami – Mitch Morse, OG, Missouri, Sr.
115) Cleveland through Buffalo – Rakeem Nunez-Roches, DT, Southern Miss, Jr.
116) Houston – Kevin White, CB, TCU, Sr.
117) San Diego – Rob Havenstein, OT, Wisconsin, Sr.
Havenstein is a massive tackle (6-feet-7, 321 pounds) with surprising agility, although stiffness in his knees concern scouts. He was the unquestioned leader of the Wisconsin offense, and has the tools to be a starting right tackle at the next level.
118) Kansas City – James Sample, SS, Louisville, Jr.
119) St. Louis through Philadelphia – Craig Mager, CB, Texas State, Sr.
120) Cincinnati – Jordan Hicks, OLB, Texas, Sr.
121) Pittsburgh – Nick O’Leary, TE, Florida State, Sr.
122) Baltimore through Detroit – Javorius Allen, RB, USC, Jr.
123) Arizona – Kwon Alexander, OLB, LSU, Jr.
124) Carolina – Frank Clark, DE, Michigan, Sr.
125) Baltimore – Marcus Hardison, DT, Arizona State, Sr.
126) San Francisco through Denver – MyCole Pruitt, TE, Southern Illinois, Sr.
127) Dallas – Lynden Trail, DE, Norfolk State, Sr.
128) Indianapolis – Ben Heeney, ILB, Kansas, Sr.
129) Green Bay – Gabe Wright, DT, Auburn, Sr.
130) Seattle – Justin Cox, CB, Mississippi State, Sr.
131) New England – Dezmin Lewis, WR, Central Arkansas, Sr.
132) *San Francisco – Stefon Diggs, WR, Maryland, Jr.
133) *Denver – Ramik Wilson, ILB, Georgia, Sr.
134) *Seattle – Ty Montgomery, WR, Stanford, Sr.
135) *Cincinnati – Sean Mannion, QB, Oregon State, Sr.
136) *Baltimore – Ben Koyack, TE, Notre Dame, Sr.
ROUND FIVE
137) Minnesota through Buffalo via Tampa Bay – Mike Davis, RB, South Carolina, Jr.
138) Tennessee – Dres Anderson, WR, Utah, Sr.
139) Jacksonville – Anthony Chickillo, DE, Miami, Sr.
140) Oakland – David Cobb, RB, Minnesota, Sr.
141) Washington – Andy Gallik, C, Boston College, Sr.
142) Chicago through N.Y. Jets – Davis Tull, OLB, Chattanooga, Sr.
143) Denver through Chicago – Jamison Crowder, WR, Duke, Sr.
144) N.Y. Giants – Durell Eskridge, FS, Syracuse, Jr.
145) Philadelphia through St. Louis – Markus Golden, OLB, Missouri, Sr.
146) Atlanta – Shaquille Mason, C, Georgia Tech, Sr.
147) Cleveland – Tony Lippett, WR, Michigan State, Sr.
148) New Orleans – Tyler Kroft, TE, Rutgers, Jr.
149) Miami through Minnesota – Christian Covington, DT, Rice, Jr.
150) Miami – Taiwon Jones, ILB, Michigan State, Sr.
151) San Francisco – Jeremiah Poutasi, OG, Utah, Jr.
152) Houston – Kenny Bell, WR, Nebraska, Sr.
153) San Diego – Vince Mayle, WR, Washington State, Sr.
The former basketball player still needs polish, but with the right coaching, I have no doubt he’ll shine at the next level. The Biletnikoff Award semifinalist has good speed for a big receiver (6-foot-2, 224 pounds) and has excelled in tracking the ball over his shoulder on deep throws in college. He had touchdown catches of 72, 81 and 90 yards over the last two seasons.
154) New Orleans through Kansas City – Bobby McCain, CB, Memphis, Sr.
155) Buffalo – Martrell Spaight, ILB, Arkansas, Sr.
156) Philadelphia – Jamil Douglas, OG, Arizona State, Sr.
157) Cincinnati – Adrian Amos, FS, Penn State, Sr.
158) Baltimore through Detroit – Darren Waller, WR, Georgia Tech, Sr.
159) Arizona – Tyrus Thompson, OT, Oklahoma, Sr.
160) Pittsburgh – Karlos Williams, RB, Florida State, Sr.
161) Carolina – Austin Shepherd, OT, Alabama, Sr.
162) Tampa Bay through Baltimore – Cedric Reed, DE, Texas, Sr.
163) Dallas – Clayton Geathers, SS, Central Florida, Sr.
164) Denver – Charles Gaines, CB, Louisville, Sr.
165) Indianapolis – Jalston Fowler, FB, Alabama, Sr.
166) Green Bay – Zach Zenner, FB, South Dakota State, Sr.
167) Seattle – Obum Gwacham, DE, Oregon State, Sr.
168) Detroit through New England via Tampa Bay – Cameron Artis-Payne, RB, Auburn, Sr.
169) *Carolina – Tyeler Davison, DT, Frenso State, Sr.
170) *Seattle – Ladarius Gunter, CB, Miami, Sr.
171) *Baltimore – Joey Mbu, DT, Houston, Sr.
172) *Kansas City – Josh Harper, WR, Fresno State, Sr.
173) *Kansas City – Chaz Green, OT, Florida, Sr.
174) *Carolina – Titus Davis, WR, Central Michigan, Sr.
175) *Houston – Mike Hull, OLB, Penn State, Sr.
176) *Baltimore – Anthony Jefferson, SS, UCLA, Sr.
ROUND SIX
177) Tennessee – Bryce Hager, ILB, Baylor, Sr.
178) New England through Tampa Bay – Blake Bell, TE, Oklahoma, Sr.
179) Oakland – Xzavier Dickson, OLB, Alabama, Sr.
180) Jacksonville – Laurence Gibson, OT, Virginia Tech, Sr.
181) Seattle through N.Y. Jets – Matt Jones, RB, Florida, Jr.
182) Washington – Malcolm Brown, RB, Texas, Sr.
183) Chicago – Hayes Pullard, ILB, USC, Sr.
184) Tampa Bay through St. Louis – Terrence Magee, RB, LSU, Sr.
185) Atlanta – Lorenzo Doss, CB, Tulane, Jr.
186) N.Y. Giants – Terry Poole, OT, San Diego State, Sr.
187) New Orleans – Anthony Harris, SS, Virginia, Sr.
188) Buffalo through Minnesota – Leterrius Walton, DT, Central Michigan, Sr.
189) Cleveland – Alani Fua, OLB, BYU, Sr.
190) San Francisco – Ellis McCarthy, DT, UCLA, Jr.
191) Miami – Justin Manton, K-P, Louisiana-Monroe, Sr.
192) San Diego – Kyle Emanuel, OLB, North Dakota State, Sr.
Everybody all together now: “You can never have enough pass rushers!” Emanuel had a dominant senior campaign, finishing with 19.5 sackes. Of course, good small-school prospects usually come with inflated statistics, but this kid’s motor and skill will earn him respect at the next level.
193) Kansas City – Zach Hodges, OLB, Harvard, Sr.
194) Buffalo – Darryl Roberts, CB, Marshall, Sr.
195) Houston – Mark Glowinski, OG, West Virginia, Sr.
196) Philadelphia – Jarvis Harrison, OG, Texas A&M, Sr.
197) Cincinnati -Kaleb Eulls, DT, Mississippi State, Sr.
198) Arizona – Bobby Richardson, DT, Indiana, Sr.

206) Green Bay – Antwan Goodley, WR, Baylor, Sr.
207) Indianapolis through Seattle – Corey Robinson, OT, South Carolina, Sr.
208) Tennessee through New England – Wes Saxton, TE, South Alabama, Sr.
209) *Seattle – Jordan Richards, SS, Stanford, Sr.
210) *Green Bay – Darius Philon, DT, Arkansas, So.
211) *Houston – Robert Myers, OG, Tennessee State, Sr.
212) *Pittsburgh – Jake Ryan, OLB, Michigan, Sr.
213) *Green Bay – Josh Robinson, RB, Mississippi State, Jr.
214) *Seattle – Adam Shead, OG, Oklahoma, Sr.
215) *St. Louis – Geneo Grissom, OLB, Oklahoma, Sr.
216) *Houston – Chris Hackett, FS, TCU, Jr.
217) *Kansas City – Quandre Diggs, CB, Texas, Sr.
