I think Sammy would be happy with the 3rd round selection. What do you all think?:D I threw in the Cowboys picks since I am a diehard.:D I like the idea of Quinton Carter and Roy Williams roaming the same secondary, I just wonder if he will sign a new deal once this lockout is over.

Draft week is finally here. Depending on what I hear before Thursday morning, there could be a few adjustments to this final mock.
At this point, the buzz I’ve picked up on from coaches and personnel people has altered this three-round mock draft.
One of the biggest changes in this version is where the second quarterback will be drafted. Where it previously looked like Cam Newton and Blaine Gabbert could both go in the top five, that scenario shifts dramatically in this projection.
Another thing to keep in mind is the realization that clubs have to make picks without knowing the status of free agency, or even the ability to retain their own restricted free agents. Decision-makers will, as one coach said to me, be “picking in the dark.”
9
DAL
Tyron Smith
OT
USC
An athlete who is just growing into his body. As USC defensive coordinator Monte Kiffin said, “Ty is just too good to stay in school, and he hasn’t even reached his full potential.” Left or right tackle? It doesn’t really matter because he will line up as a rookie.[/B]
Pick No.
14
STL
Ryan Kerrigan
DE
Purdue
Sure, the Rams would love a wide receiver here. That doesn’t mean GM Billy Devaney will reach for one if Jones and Green are gone. Kerrigan is the kind of hybrid player Steve Spagnuolo loves to have on the field.

Following up with my first-round mock draft, we now take a look at how the second and third round could play out.
There's no shortage of teams in need of quarterback help, and we could see a run of signal-callers early in the second round.
That could start as early as the 34th pick, with the Buffalo Bills in position to draft Florida State star and Senior Bowl MVP Christian Ponder.
The Bengals might find Carson Palmer's replacement one pick later with Arkansas quarterback Ryan Mallett. With Palmer's future in Cincinnati up in the air, Mallet could have a direct path to the starting job for Marvin Lewis.
The Tennessee Titans and Washington Redskins are two more teams with uncertainty at quarterback, so look for each to address the position in the second round. That could potentially mean four QBs are taken in the first nine choices of the round.
Round 2
40. Dallas Cowboys, Ras-I Dowling, CB, Virginia
47. St. Louis Rams, Randall Cobb, WR, Kentucky
Round 3
66. Cincinnati Bengals, Quinton Carter, S, Oklahoma
71. Dallas Cowboys, Greg Romeus, DE, Pittsburgh
72. New Orleans, Jeremy Beal, DE/OLB, Oklahoma
78. St. Louis Rams, DeMarco Murray, RB, Oklahoma
