Team Player Position Height Weight Stars

21. Cincinnati Bengals

Kenny Vaccaro, Texas

S 6'1 218 Sr.

Among the Bengals' biggest needs, along with linebacker and running back, is safety. They need to find someone to play alongside Reggie Nelson. Kenny Vaccro grades out as the top safety in this class due to his strong play at the line of scrimmage and his range and coverage ability in the secondary.

22. St. Louis Rams

Keenan Allen, California

WR 6'2 206 Jr.

Keenan Allen ranks higher than Cordarrelle Patterson on my board, though I'm not blind to Patterson's upside. Allen's injury causes him to drop a little bit, but he's the total package at wide receiver. He compares favorably to Dez Bryant on the field. Cordarrelle Patterson scouting report

23. Minnesota Vikings

Cordarrelle Patterson

WR 6'3 205 Jr.

Whether or not Percy Harvin stays with the Vikings, they need to find another weapon in the passing game. Some will be surprised to see Cordarrelle Patterson this low, but he's rough around the edges. Allen and Hopkins are more complete wide receivers in my eyes. Cordarrelle Patterson scouting report

With the top nose tackle talent off the board, the Colts turn to the offensive line, which is another big area of concern for the team moving forward. D.J. Fluker will be confined to the right side of the line in the NFL, but he has enough talent to dominate at that position.

25. Seattle Seahawks

Tavon Austin, West Virginia

WR 5'9 174 Sr.

Tavon Austin proved his speed and strength at the NFL Scouting Combine this weekend, solidifying his status as a first round pick in the upcoming NFL Draft. He would be an outstanding fit for the Seahawks, who need a wide receiver with speed to play the slot.

26. Green Bay Packers

Arthur Brown, Kansas State

LB 6' 241 Sr.

If Arthur Brown is available, the Green Bay Packers should run to the podium. The playoff loss to the 49ers exposed the team's weakness in its linebacker core. Brown has put on some size and should be able to play in the 3-4.

27. Houston Texans

Manti Te'o, Notre Dame

MLB 6'1 241 Sr.

Manti Te'o's draft stock is tough to pin down. As a player, he's a mid-to-late first round prospect. Add in the distraction he could bring, and it's tough to tell which teams will want to take a chance on him. He makes sense for Houston because of the leadership in place and the need in the middle of the defense. Manti Te'o scouting report

28. Denver Broncos

Kawann Short, Purdue

DT 6'3 299 Sr.

Fun fact: Kawann Short actually goes by K.K. That's how he was announced at the NFL Scouting Combine. After a solid Senior Bowl, K.K. should be considered in the later part of the first round.

The Patriots have a certain affinity for Rutgers players. Logan Ryan just so happens to fill a huge need and has value as a first round pick. If the Patriots lose Aqib Talib, cornerback will become an even bigger need.

30. Atlanta Falcons

Giovani Bernard, North Carolina

RB 5'8 202 So.

There hasn't been a draft that hasn't produced a first round running back in the modern era. That shouldn't change this season, despite the buzz surrounding the lack of top-end talent at the position. Gio Bernard belongs in the first round discussion and would fill a need for Atlanta. Sam Montgomery scouting report

31. San Francisco 49ers

Jonathan Cyprien, Florida International

S 6'0 209 Sr.

Jonathan Cyprien has emerged as one of the top safeties in this class, and the Super Bowl showed San Francisco's warts at the safety position. Consider that the Niners came out of left field to pick A.J. Jenkins a year ago, and it doesn't seem too farfetched that they would go after Cyprien.

32. Baltimore Ravens

Menelik Watson, Florida State

OT 6'5 310 Sr.
