NFC West Draft Recap

Arizona Cardinals
Round 1: Dan Williams, DT, Tennessee – 6’3” nose tackle to anchor the Arizona defense. Solid rush and pass defender
Round 2: Daryl Washington, LB, TCU – 6’3” 233 lbs linebacker who can play outside well. Plays well sideline-to-sideline.
Round 3: Andre Roberts, WR, The Citadel – Slot receiver who can separate and make plays after the catch.
Round 4: O’Brien Schofield, DE, Wisconsin – Great value in round 4, polished pass rusher. Torn ACL at Senior Bowl.
Round 5: John Skelton, QB, Fordham – 6’5”, 258 lbs big armed QB. Compared to Joe Flacco. Raw, but good upside.
Round 6: Jorrick Calvin, DB, Troy – Talented corner who missed the 2009 season with academic issues.
Round 7: Jim Dray, TE, Stanford – Physical player, could contend for back of the depth chart spot.

San Francisco 49ers
Round 1: Anthony Davis, OL, Rutgers – Fills void at right tackle. Some maturity issues, and major bust potential.
Round 1: Mike Iupati, OL, Idaho – Mammoth lineman to help run game. “Most physically gifted guard in the last five years”
Round 2: Taylor Mays, S, USC – Physical freak, hard hitter, but struggles with coverage
Round 3: Navorro Bowman, LB, Penn State – Athletic linebacker that moves like a DB
Round 6: Anthony Dixon, RB, Mississippi State – Powerful running back that can break tackles.
Round 6: Nate Byham, TE, Pittsburgh – Tough and physical TE, helps in the run game.
Round 6: Kyle Williams, WR, Arizona State – Great athlete and can be a slot man and return man.
Round 7: Phillip Adams, DB, South Carolina State – Tough small school corner, and runs well.

Seattle Seahawks
Round 1: Russell Okung, OL, Oklahoma State – Okung is the most pro-ready pass protector in the draft, and will fill gaping holes in the O-Line.
Round 1: Earl Thomas, S, Texas – Great pick here as Pete Carroll gets a very talented ball-hawking safety.
Round 2: Golden Tate, WR, Notre Dame – A tough receiver who can create after the catch, Tate projects to be a solid slot guy at the next level.
Round 4: Walter Thurmond III, CB, Oregon – Polished ball skills, and was top senior CB in the draft, but fell due to a right knee injury.
Round 4: EJ Wilson, DE, North Carolina – Shows quickness as a pass rusher, but will be at his best on 1st and 2nd down against a running attack.
Round 5: Kam Chancellor, S, Virginia Tech – Plays well in the box, but struggles in space. Could move to LB.
Round 6: Anthony McCoy, TE, USC – A great prospect who helps in the run and passing game. Fell this far because of a failed drug test at the combine, but reunites with college coach Pete Carroll
Round 7: Dexter Davis, DE, Arizona State – Good pass rusher, who projects as a nickel rusher in the NFL.
Round 7: Jameson Konz, WR, Kent State – Great athlete with size and speed, but doesn’t have a true position. Creates good mismatches in the aerial attack.

St Louis Rams
Round 1: Sam Bradford, QB, Oklahoma – Franchise QB for the Rams and clearly the best in the draft.
Round 2: Rodger Staffold, OT, Indiana – A solid pick here to protect Bradford in the future.
Round 3: Jerome Murphy, CB, South Florida – A physical corner, Murphy struggles in space, but presses well and brings great toughness to the field.
Round 4: Mardy Gilyard, WR, Cincinnati – Great hands and can create with the ball, Gilyard is a solid slot guy, and will team up with Donnie Avery as Bradford’s targets.
Round 5: Michael Hoomanawanui, TE, Illinois – A physical TE that will help block.
Round 5: Hall Davis, DE, Louisiana-Lafayette – Solid DE prospect, but lacks burst needed to be NFL pass rusher.
Round 6: Fendi Onobun, TE, Houston – A former basketball player who has great speed numbers for a player his size. Very raw, but great skills.
Round 6: Eugene Sims, DE, West Texas A&M – Good pass rusher, but nothing more than a project guy.
Round 7: Marquis Johnson, DB, Alabama – A tough corner who can find the football and presses well off the line.
Round 7: George Selvie, DE/OLB, South Floida – A former 1st team All-American, Selvie needs to develop more moves to make a team as a pass rusher.
Round 7: Josh Hull, LB, Penn State – A solid 2 down player, Hull helps in the run game, and plays well inside the box.

Overall, I liked the 49ers draft a lot, and the Seahawks did a good job as well. The Rams had a solid draft, but I wasn't a fan of the Cardinals draft. Coming up soon will be the NFC North wrap up. Enjoy!
