- We should see more of Raheem Morris’s “Cheshire Cat” grin once this pick is made.  Berry immediately becomes the biggest name and biggest talent on this defense.  He and Tanard Jackson make for a formidable duo at the safety slots.

- Mike Shanahan’s plans will start to become clearer as the offseason progresses.  So will the QB prospect picture.  The Clausen / Bradford debate will rage heavily right up until the draft.  At this point, I think Clausen holds the edge.

- The Chief’s want to build this offense as an efficient passing team.  After QB, there’s no better way to start that than with a pass blocking LT to protect said QB.  Okung has exceptional feet and has the agility and frame to develop into a top tier run blocker as well.

- With Patrick Kerney holding a retirement party recently and the Daryl Tapp / Lawrence Jackson combo failing, the Seahawks desperately need to generate a pass rush.  Morgan has  the ability to make this entire defense better.

- The Raiders defense is a solid unit, but they are missing a dynamic pass rusher off the edge.  Pierre-Paul would give this defense more versatility and explosiveness. 

- It doesn’t matter who the Bills have a QB, they have no one to protect him off the edges.  Anthony Davis can play either OT spot and should help improve the Bills’ inconsistent running game.

- Brandon Marshall, barring something unforeseen, is as good as gone.  Trust me, Josh McDaniels does not want to see Kyle Orton operate this offense without a big time talent at WR.  Bryant may have more upside than even Marshall.

- David Garrard is a nice player, but you don’t win championships with nice players at QB. The Jags also need to establish a new face of this franchise and start selling some tickets.  Bradford won’t have to start right away and could transform this offense in short time.

- With Channing Crowder attempting to attach his mouthpiece to Joey Porter, he may find himself following Porter out of town.  Even if Crowder is there, McClain is a perfect fit for this defense.

- Frank Gore is as reliable a RB as we have in this league, but he’s getting to the point in his career that he could start to break down…especially with his knee history.  C.J. Spiller is a tailor made complement to Gore. 

- If Pete Carroll wants to wants his latest NFL coaching stint to go better than the first, his first job is finding a suitable replacement for Walter Jones.  Bulaga has serious upside and could end up being the best all-around tackle in this class.

- If the defensive line is going to continue to be the focal point of this team, there needs to be an infusion of talent at DT.  Price is a sure fire difference maker from the tackle spot and could make this a feared unit, once again.

- The Niners’ o-line needs work and an infusion of talent.  Drafting Iupati would allow them the flexibility of playing him at OG or RT.  Either way, a big, strong player like this would go a long way towards solidifying this unit.

With Price off the board, the Titans address another problem area on the defense…coverage.  Franks has good size, speed and ball skills and should immediately help this unit.  Hopefully, he’ll be better for the Titans than the last Oklahoma CB they drafted, Andre Woolfolk. -
