Mike’s Round 6

ROUND 6

HUNTER’S MOCK

170) STL — Micah Johnson, MLB, Kentucky

Micah Johnson starts the 6th round of the draft. The 6th round is for depth, upside, reaches, steals, and for experienced talent that had a bad senior season.

171) ATL (from DET) — Mike Kafka, QB, Northwestern

The Falcons don’t need a starting QB by any means but they do need an insurance policy.

172) TB — Kurt Coleman, S, Ohio State

Coleman is a very good value here and add the all important depth to a very thin team.

173) MIA (from KC) — Blair White, WR, Michigan State

The Dolphins traded Ted Ginn for a 5th rounder and they will need to find another receiver somewhere in the draft.

174) MIA (from WAS) — Trevard Lindley, CB, Kentucky

Lindley was a mid first rounder going into the 2009 season. Maybe that extra year of college wasn’t worth it.

175) CAR (from OAK)— Willie Young, DE, NC State

The Panthers lost Peppers and will need to find DL depth throughout the draft to push the starters.

176) SEA — Harry Coleman, S, LSU

The Seahawks need some serious DB depth and Coleman is the right about the tail end of the non-reaches.

177) CLE — Ekom Udofia, NT, Stanford

The Browns have talent at NT but when your top guy brings a loaded gun into airport security it might be worth a 6th round pick.

178) BUF — Mike Tepper, OT, California

More OL depth for a team that could sure use some. The team could go a few different places here but I think the more OL depth they get the better.

179) MIA — Kenny Alfred, OC/OG, Washington State

The Dolphins need depth on the interior and Kenny Alfred was pretty much the only bright spot on the Washington State Cougars over the last couple of years.

180) JAX — Zac Robinson, QB, Oklahoma State

I don’t think the Jags need a QB in the first couple of rounds in the draft but taking one on day three would be a great idea.

181) CHI — Freddie Barnes, WR, Bowling Green

I have been in love with Freddie Barnes since last October. He has underrated speed, great hands, is as productive as they come, and could become a starter for the Bears. The team has also moved Devin Hester off of the returner spot which is a bad, bad idea.

182) SF — Cameron Sheffield, DE/LB, Troy

The 49ers need to focus on getting additional LB talent in the draft and Cameron Sheffield is a solid value with this pick.

183) DEN — Stephen Williams, WR, Toledo

Stephen Williams is my Marques Colston in the 2010 draft. Williams is 210 pounds, 6’5’’, and ran a 4.48 40-time at his pro day. He is a great athlete, but unlike most of the receivers in this draft he was productive (79 receptions for 1,065 yards) last season.

184) NYG — Ed Wang, OT, Virginia Tech

Ed Wang is solid value in the 5th or 6th round and the Giants could use help solidifying their OL.

185) TEN —Kevin Matthews, OC, Texas A&M

Matthews is the son of Bruce Matthews. Need I say more?

186) CLE (from CAR) — Andrew Tyshovnytsky, OT, Fordham

Tyshovnysky is a great athlete who has been one of the better LT’s in Division II football. He could become a good piece of the Cleveland OL, and would likely have a chance at starting at guard. I can’t wait to hear is name on Sundays, but mostly because I can’t pronounce his name.

187) HOU — Jeff Owens, DT, Georgia

Some think that Owens is better than Geno Atkins, and the Texans could use as much 3rd day DL help as they can get.

188) PIT — Shay Hodge, WR, Ole Miss

Mike Wallace from Ole Miss did well for them last year so why not take a chance on another one?

189) ATL — Van Eskridge, S, ECU

The Falcons don’t have a huge need at safety, but a 6th round take couldn’t hurt.

190). NE — Jameson Konz, TE, Kent State

Usually this late in the draft I think it is best for teams to look at great blockers at TE, or at great athletes. Konz played FB at college, but has 21 catches last year at it. Konz is 6’4, 235-pounds and just ran a 4.41 40-time at his pro day.

191) CIN — Ryan Perriloux, QB, Jacksonville State

The Bengals could use an insurance policy for Carson Palmer who hasn’t consistency been healthy. Perriloux is a top notch player, but has burned a ton of bridges (maybe literally).

192) BUF (from PHI) — Andrew Quarless, TE, Penn State

Quarless is a great tight end, and if he can live in a slow town like Green Bay he might not commit many off the field issues like he did at Penn State.

193) GB — Ryan Reynolds, MLB, Oklahoma

When Reynolds isn’t making movies and looking like Dane Cook he plays football at Oklahoma. He has way too many injuries to get drafted early, but could fill a huge depth hole.

194) BAL — Barry Church, S, Toledo

Church likely won’t be a starter for the Ravens but he should become a solid value to help transition to a younger defensive threat.

195) ARI — Jonathon Crompton, QB, Tennessee

Being one of the few QBs from a pro style might help Crompton get drafted in the late 6th or early 7th.

196) DAL — Adam Ulatoski, OT, Texas

The Cowboys need to continue adding depth to their OL and Ulatoski is a solid Texan value for a Texan team.

197) HOU (from SD) — Bill Stull, QB, Pittsburgh

The Texans could use a young QB to be ready to play if an occasionally injured Matt Schaub goes down.

198) NYJ — Jeff Byers, OC/OG, USC

Byers provides solid depth on the interior of the line and Mark Sanchez would love to have more line support.

199) MIN — Keaton Kristick, OLB, Oregon State

Kristick is an underrated linebacker that plays with solid anger and power. He won’t get you a ton of sacks and interceptions but he is a tackling machine, and has a lot in common (comedy-wise) with Jared Allen.

200) PHI (from IND) — Cody Grimm, S, Virginia Tech

Grimm played LB in college but has been used at safety this offseason. Both are fair needs for Philly so he seems like a good fit here.

201) NO — Dace Richardson, OG/OC, Iowa

Two or three years ago Dace was considered to be one of the up and coming LT prospects for the draft, but about 450 knee injuries set him back. Richardson however had a great year at guard this last season at Iowa, so some team might get a steal late in the draft.

202) CAR (Comp) — Stevenson Sylvestor, OLB, Utah

Stevenson Sylvestor is an underrated talent that will help add depth to a team like Carolina a lot.

203) JAX (Comp) — Marcus Easley, WR, UConn

The Jags have a lot of young talent at receiver, but they need to find more people to help push them into a good receiving core.

204) CAR (Comp) — Seyi Ajirotutu, WR, Fresno State

Ajirotutu is Todd McShay’s wide receiver prospect and the Panthers need one or two quality receivers from this draft.

205) NE (Comp) — Joe Webb, WR/QB, UAB

Joe Webb has been one of the best quarterbacks in college over the last few years but he looks to be making the switch to receiver at the next level. New England likes these unique players and I would be surprised to see them not take him if he falls this far.

206) SF (Comp) — Deji Karim, RB, Southern Illinois

The 49ers could use another RB in the rotation and Karim just ran a sub 4.4 40-time at his pro day despite being 210 pounds.

207) TENN (Comp) — Corey Peters, DT, Kentucky

If the Titans should look for as much defensive depth in this draft as they can get and Peters is a solid value at the tail of the 6th round.
