#70 New York Jets
RB Ameer Abdullah, Nebraska
- Chris Johnson hit the open market, so the Jets need someone, anyone to help carry the load with off injured Christopher 'Tusk' Ivory. Abdullah has fabulous game film, and may be the most elusive runner in the draft class, but his fumbling issues are a headache that must be solved immediately.
meh, theres a couple backs i like more on the board, but it doesnt piss me off. we re-signed biLOL though... not that that should stop us from drafting another back at some point.
Ehh, really? Fumbling problems have you down, or is just your affinity for power backs that make you rate them higher?Quote:

#71 - Chicago Bears
C Reese Dismukes, Auburn
The Bears will eventually have to replace Roberto Garza who is roughly a century years old. Dismukes shares a similar size, but has a squatty/stocky frame that helps with his center of gravity. He can take some time to learn the position behind Garza.
#72 - St. Louis
OG Tre Jackson, Florida State
Even after taking Andrus Peat in Round 1, the offensive line is still a priority for the Rams. The center that was on the top of their board was gone, so they shift their focus to guard. Durable and strong with good size, Jackson should be a plug and play starter from day one, but he'll probably struggle in pass protection, because he's a limited athlete.
#73 - Atlanta Falcons
TE Clive Walford, Miami
The Falcons haven't had a real target at TE since Tony Gonzalez left and currently their tanderm of Toilolo and Tamme doesn't scare anyone. Clive Walford isn't Maxx Williams but can be a very good combo Tight End who has the ability to block and the athleticism to cause mismatches with linebackers as a pass catcher. He didn't show as well at the combine but with the right coaching could be another productive Hurricane tight end.
That would be like legit lightning to go with ivorys thunder, not the hot flashes 2014 Chris johnsonQuote:

#74 New York Giants
DE Preston Smith, Mississippi State
- They brought back Jason Pierre-Paul and added George Selvie but depth was still needed, so they'll go BPA here and take Preston Smith. A potential first round pick that slid due to team needs, Smith is a power rusher with decent agility that can kick inside in the nickel. I think he's great fit for a team rebuilding their line.
#75 - New Orleans Saints
TE Mycole Pruitt, Southern Illinois
With the loss of Jimmy Graham the Saints go looking for a pass catching tight end. Pruitt doesn't have Jimmy Graham's size and won't be the mismatch that he was in the redzone either but he was the most productive Tight End in college last year and has led his team 3 out of 4 years in receptions. If you can teach him to be a competent blocker and focus on his routes then he could be one of the better pass catching tight ends in the new few seasons.
So...drafting 2 TEs for NO to go with Josh Hill? That's odd.
They are an Odd team.
#76 - Minnesota Vikings
DE Danielle Hunter, LSU
- There's almost zero chance that he'll be here unless some kind of character knock comes out in the next few weeks, but in this scenario, the Vikings score big. I don't view DE a huge need on paper, but the Vikings obviously do, since they flirted with Michael Johnson before he went back Cincinnati. Hunter doesn't exactly look the part, but is quick with decent power and should fit in as a pass rushing specialist for years to come.
