The Jaguars could use some depth along the defensive line and at linebacker. The safety position is a concern, especially with the injuries Donovan Darius has suffered. Florida’s Reggie Nelson is available, but Jacksonville decides to draft a defensive end. The selection is one of Nelson's teammates, defensive end Jarvis Moss.

It’s nice to score points, but you can’t win if you allow more than you score. That’s the trouble with the Bengals and a trend that’s continued these past few seasons. Last year, the Bengals drafted Johnathan Joseph in the first round, and this year they get another young corner in Arkansas’ Chris Houston.

One of the most surprising teams of 2006, the Titans have a bright future with Vince Young at the helm. Adding weapons around Young is a must and what better way to do that than adding a player with whom you’re familiar. Tennessee Vols receiver Robert Meachem had a breakout year this past season, with over 1,300 yards receiving. The Titans are hoping they found a player to match with Young.

The Giants decided to cut ties with former first round pick Luke Petitgout, and that leaves a hole on the offensive line. Protecting Eli Manning is a priority for the Giants and adding a big, physical tackle is a must. Penn State’s Levi Brown is the answer for New York.

The Broncos are thrilled to see Florida’s Reggie Nelson on the board. With John Lynch getting older and the death of Darrent Williams forcing Domonique Foxworth back to corner, developing and adding another safety is a must. Nelson is the choice.

The Cowboys have many concerns: their offensive line, wide receiver, and secondary. There are some nice players available to the Cowboys. USC’s Dwayne Jarrett is attractive, but the need for an impact safety like Texas’ Michael Griffin is an immediate need. Griffin is a Cowboy.

I was disappointed that Dwayne Jarrett didn’t work out at the combine, and there is speculation he is worried about his 40-time. The reason I have Jarrett falling to the Chiefs is because of his unwillingness to show NFL personnel what he can do. If Jarrett has an impressive pro-day in March, his stock will escalate, but if he doesn’t, he will land in Kansas City.

The Patriots will look to upgrade at the linebacker position. Tedi Bruschi, Mike Vrabel, Larry Izzo, and Rosevelt Colvin are getting older, and a youth movement at the position is necessary. Drafting Miami’s Jon Beason adds speed and toughness to Belichick’s defense.
