Picks 7-12

7. Oakland Raiders

I think if A.J. Hawk was on the board here that's who the Raiders would pick. But he won't be here. And that leaves the Raiders with Vince Young. Word is that Al Davis loves Young and is looking to move up to the two spot to get him. In all likelihood Young or Leinart will be available in this spot. As a side note, I hear that Leinart's family are all huge Raiders fans, so if he pulls an Eli Manning to play in Oakland don't be surprised.

8. Buffalo Bills

This is a tough pick, I think anyone of three guys could go in this spot and fill a hole for the Bills. DT, DB, and OT are all needs that can be filled here. OT Winston Justice is moving up draft boards in the weeks before the draft, but I think this is too early for him. Its also too early to take either Jimmy Williams or Antonio Cromartie, who both have issues of their own.

That leaves DT Haloti Ngata. Has the size and strength to be another Sam Adams and clog the middle for the Bills.

9. Detroit Lions

This pick has to be on defense. If Michael Huff goes to the 49ers, the Lions might be screwed. They might look at Jimmy Williams, Winston Justice, or even Chad Greenway. I think the pick is Greenway because he's the best linebacker available, and the Lions NEED linebackers. Watch out for Santonio Holmes in this spot(just kidding Lions fan)

10. Arizona Cardinals
Kurt Warner is not the future in St. Louis, shit he's not even the present. This is the spot where the Cards take the QB of the future(who will turn into the QB they cut two seasons later). Jay Cutler gets the call here only because every team in the league has undervalued Omar Jacobs.

11. St. Louis Rams

The Rams need a TE and Vernon Davis is a physical freak. I don't think Davis will make it this far down (because I really think the 49ers will take him). But if he does, the Rams will snatch him up and make the steal of the draft. Christ the guy ran a 4.3 40 at the combine. Freak with a capital F.

12. Cleveland Browns

Ahh my Cleveland Browns (expect a full Browns draft preview later this week). This pick will most definitely be on the defensive side of the ball. The only thing to be determined is which position. Its either DT or DE. I think its going to be Broderick Bunkley, the DT out of Fla. St. I think the Browns are looking to move him to an end spot in the 3-4 and maybe move him back inside when Ted Washington retires. I think that is an excellent idea, he's got the speed to play on the end and needs time to develop some more thickness if he's going inside.

Another possibility is Kamerion Wimbley, who would probably rush off the edge for the Browns. Most people think that he can be a dynamic pass rusher like DeMarcus Ware was for the Cowboys. I'm not sold. Two months ago this kid was a third round draft pick, ESPN's Draft Guide had him rated as the 9th best DE. Lets just say I'm skeptical.
