2007 NFL Mock Draft picks 21-32
21.) Denver - CB Marcus McCauley, Fresno St: Due to the tragic passing of Darrent Williams the Broncos need another good corner. Marcus is a speedster and a better corner than former teammate Richard Marshall whom was drafted by the Panthers in the second round last year.
22.) Dallas - S Michael Griffin, Texas: The Cowboys have two glaring needs; Safety and OG. I don't believe there's an OG worthy of a first round pick so the Cowboys draft for value and grab Griffin to team-up with Roy Williams making possibly one of the most talented safety tandems in the league. Roy can shut down the run while Michael will use his ballhawk abilities to drop back and protect against the pass.
23.) Kansas City - QB Brady Quinn, Notre Dame: And here's your major drop of the year. Quinn has looked average at best in his bowl games (unable to win one) and is coming off a knee injury that could limit him for at least the 07 season. Kansas City is shopping Trent Green and locked up Damon Huard to a three year deal, where in the first year he can start and Quinn can hold the playbook. It makes too much sense to pass up should Quinn be here at this spot, which is very possible (look at Aaron Rodgers).
24.) New England- WR Robert Meachem, Tenn: With the extra pick they got for Deion Branch the Patriots go and draft themselves a WR because quite frankly Reche Caldwell and Jabar Gaffney are not going to light up any scoreboards. The need at reciever is also great at the moment because Chad Jackson is likely to miss most (if not all) of the 07 season with a torn ACL while Troy Brown looks headed to retirement. Meachem is a speed demon with great hands and ok height. He just hasn't recieved the praise of a Ginn Jr or Jarrett.
25.) NY Jets - DE Adam Carriker, Nebraska: Last year the Jets rebuilt their O-line via the draft and this year it appears they'll be looking to rebuild the D-line, especially since the Jets are likely to cut Kimo von Oelhoffen as they try to get closer to the type of 3-4 Mangini likes to run.
26.) Philli - WR Dwayne Bowe, LSU: The Eagles look likely to lose Stallworth to free agency so they grab Bowe to fill the need and pair with Reggie Brown.
27.) New Orleans - CB Darrelle Revis, Pitt: That Saints secondary stinks and they were exposed in the NFC Championship game by the Bears who repeatedly just threw it over the top. Saints grab the best corner available.
28.) New England - S Aaron Rouse, Virginia Tech: An under the radar pick here Rouse can play both safety and LBer which happen to be the Pats two greatest needs on defense. He's also suppose to be a high character person and good locker room guy (just the type the Pats draft).
29.) Baltimore - OT Joe Staley, Central Michigan: The Ravens o-line is aging and probably their only major weakness (should Jamal Lewis resign). Michael Bush is also a possibility here.
30.) San Diego - WR Sidney Rice, South Carolina: Rivers needs WR help as was evidenced in the AFC Divisional game. Eric Parker is nothing special and Keenan McCardell is finally starting to show he's lost a step.
31.) Chicago - TE Greg Olsen, Miami (FL): With Chicago's only glaring need really being QB and nothing here to solve this I feel they go best player available at their position. Greg Olsen can help open up that passing game more and allow the Bears to succesfully run two TE sets with him and Desmond Clark.
32.) Indi - DB Aaron Ross, Texas: Indi needs more than Bob Sanders back there and Ross can play either corner or safety. Too obvious a pick to pass up on.
