Last year KC passed on tackle Russell Okung in the first round, and opted instead to take safety Eric Berry. A season later, and it looks like a pretty solid pick. However there troubles at tackle didn't fix themselves. Luckily with Carimi on the the board, the Chiefs are able to fulfill their need with the last premier tackle in this year's class. Carimi is a pro-typical NFL tackle and has the ability to come in and start from day one.
22. Indianapolis Colts: Brandon Harris. CB. Miami
With all the top offensive linemen off the table at this point, Indy is forced to look away from Plan A (adding an o-linemen) and must address another team need. With Bob Sanders no longer returning to the squad the Colts secondary is in shambles. Jacob Lacey appears to be an adequate corner, but Kelvin Hayden is far from a starting corner on a championship caliber team. Harris is another playmaking defensive back from "The U", and would be an instant upgrade from Hayden.
23. Philadelphia Eagles: Jimmy Smith. CB. Colorado
If it wasn't for looming "character issues" most scouts say that Jimmy Smith would be a top 15 pick. After starter Ellis Hobbs was forced to retire, corner has become the Eagles number one need. Andy Reid and Co. are apparently in love with Smith and if he is available it would really be a hug surprise and mistake to me if they passed on him.
24. New Orleans Saints: Muhammad Wilkerson. DT/DE. Temple
Yes, I know the Saints just signed Shaun Rogers. I don't care. You can never have too much talent up front, and Muhammad is arguable the best player still available at this point. Even with the addition of Big Shaun Rogers, the Saints d-line still needs help and Wilkerson is the most versatile linemen in this class with the ability to play inside and out at both tackle and end.
