NFL Mock Draft 2.0: Round 3

64. Miami Dolphins: Earl Bennett WR Vanderbilt..Parcells likes smart players who will do their job and not embarrass him or the franchise. Bennett is a player who has yet to reach his potential but could be a starter by the end of the season.

65. St. Louis Rams: Mike Pollak C Arizona St.....The Rams could to built up the depleted offensive line.

66. Kansas City Chiefs: Roy Schuening OG Oregon State…Similar to the Rams, KC needs new bodies on the 0-line.

67. New England Patriots: Bruce Davis OLB UCLA…Time to stock pile some replacements for the aging LBs.

68. Atlanta Falcons: Steve Slaton RB West Virginia…Warrick Dunn’s eventual replacement.

69. NY Jets: Ray Rice RB Rutgers….Should work well with Thomas Jones to create a two headed monster in NY. Popular pick with the Jets faithful.

70. San Francisco 49’ers: Marcus Howard OLB Georgia…Need to improve talent base and with the cutting of Derek Smith, linebacker now because a bigger need.

71. Buffalo Bills: Martin Rucker TE Missouri….Smart, talent player who shared the spotlight with Coffman at Missouri but should flourish in the NFL. Mike Rucker’s brother.

72. Buffalo Bills: Dre Moore DT Maryland…Big guy to fill up the middle on the defense.

73. Minnesota Vikings: Joe Flacco QB Delaware…Won’t push to start year 1 but may be the long term answer at QB.

74. Carolina Panthers: Eddie Royal WR Virginia Tech..Dual threat that has great speed but had only average senior season.

75. Chicago Bears: Heath Newberry OT Newberry…Small school prospect that could develop into something special.

76. Detroit Lions: Kendall Langford DE Hampton…Another small school talent that would be a nice fit for the Lions defensive scheme.

77. Cincinnati Bengals: Shawn Crable OLB Michigan…This team needs linebackers and a big time Big Ten LB is a nice addition.

78. New Orleans Saints: Tavares Gooden ILB Miami…Very under-rated prospect who will work well for Coach Payton.

79. Houston Texans: Brandon Flowers CB Virginia Tech….A player who should be starting by 2009 but will be a great addition to nickel packages and certainly special teams.

80. Philadelphia Eagles: Johnny Dingle DE West Virginia…Need Defensive Ends with Kearse and Howard leaving. Dingle has great skills and should adapt quickly to Jim Johnson’s scheme.

81. Arizona Cardinals: DeJuan Tribble CB Boston College…Up and down senior season but should become a starter early in his career.

82. Minnesota Vikings: Jermichael Finley TE Texas…Vikings need better weapons to be able to get a fair assessment of any QB and Finley gives them a legit TE target.

83. Tampa Bay Buccaneers: Matt Forte’ RB Tulane….Nice pick for Tampa. Replace Mike Alstott in a lot of sets.

84. Washington Redskins: Oniel Cousins OT UTEP…Skins need some youth on the offensive line. Cousins can be groomed to replace Jansen down the road.

85. Tennessee Titans: Kevin Smith RB Central Florida..Steal this late but should become a dependable starter for the Titans. Could be a special player.

86. Seattle Seahawks: Frank Okam DT Texas…Need that big guy up the middle. Just need to make sure he’s motivated.

87. Cleveland Browns: Chris Ellis DE Virginia Tech..Keep adding to the defense. Ellis has a great motor and should play quite a bit his rookie season.

88. Pittsburgh Steelers: John Sullivan C Notre Dame.. As noted before Steelers need to improve the offensive line. Sullivan had the advantage of top coaching and should start early.

89. Jacksonville Jaguars: Dwight Lowery CB San Jose State..Always need depth at CB.

90. Chicago Bears: Phillip Wheeler ILB Georgia Tech…With Briggs moving on the Bears will need to add another LB to their core group.

91. Green Bay Packers: John Greco OT Toledo…Can play guard and should see action often in his rookie season.

92. Dallas Cowboys: Marcus Griffin FS Texas…Great addition at this point and should replace Keith Davis in a lot sets and on special teams.

93. Indianapolis Colts: Geno Hayes OLB Florida State…Colts always looking to upgrade defense and Hayes is the perfect fit for Dungy’s system.
