Ultimate Mock Draft - Round 3

65. Oakland – Brandon Mebane (DT-Cal) – The Silver and Black need to add some talent to the middle of their defensive line and Mebane is a great value at this spot. He’ll make it easy for Raider fans to see Sapp on the sideline.

66. Detroit – Brandon Siler (ILB-Florida) – Detroit could use a youthful presence in the middle of their defense and Siler is just their man. He’s a big boy who knows how to lay the wood on running backs.

67. Cleveland – Ray McDonald (DE-Florida) – McDonald follows his former Florida teammate off the board because his size makes him a good dual threat for Romeo Crennel. McDonald will see time at both DE and DT for the Browns.

68. Tampa Bay – Antonio Pittman (RB-Ohio St) – Antonio becomes the second Pittman to play for tailback for John Gruden. He’s a versatile back who will provide much needed insurance for oft-injured Cadillac Williams.

69. Arizona – Ben Patrick (TE-Delaware) – The Cardinals gave Leonard Pope a shot at tight end last year, but Patrick would be an upgrade. He’s a sure handed receiving threat who could make Boldin and Fitzgerald even more dangerous on the outside.

70. Denver (from Washington) - Doug Free (OT-Northern Illinois) - This road-grader paved the way for Garrett Wolfe's tremendous collegiate career. He's athletic enough to fit in Shanahan's system and will help keeping Denver's ground game among the league's elite.

71. Miami - Brian Leonard (RB-Rutgers) - The Dolphins will be exuberant that Leonard is available at this selection. His versatility in the backfield will help spell Ronnie Brown and provide a receiving threat for first round pick Brady Quinn.

72. Minnesota - Marshall Yanda (OG-Iowa) - Minnesota has a tremendous offensive line, but they lack depth. Yanda provides much needed insurance in case one of their lineman suffers an injury.

73. Houston - Kenny Irons (RB-Auburn) - Irons steps in here to be Houston's back of the future. He'll be a good compliment to Ahman Green and should push him for the starting job as early as October.

74. Buffalo - Stewart Bradley (OLB-Nebraska) - Buffalo lost a couple of starting linebackers this off-season and Bradley has the skill to play outside and the size to transition inside. Bradley should be one of the surprise standout rookies this season.

75. Atlanta - Sabby Piscitelli (S-Oregon State) - The Falcons make up for missing out on LaRon Landry in round 1 by selecting Piscitelli here. Piscitelli is an intimidating presence in the secondary and his speed will help him earn an early starting nod.

76. San Francisco - Josh Wilson (CB-Maryland) - Wilson is a blur on the field. He'll be a great fit as a nickel corner for the Niners. He has the talent and could be a solid starter in the future with a little tutoring from Coach Nolan and new addition Nate Clements.

77. Pittsburgh - Jon Abbate (ILB-Wake Forest) - Abbate is the type of player who will quickly become a fan favorite in Steeltown. He's hard-nosed and should take over for some of Pittsburgh's aging vets at the linebacker position rather soon.

78. Green Bay - James Marten (OT-Boston College) - Chad Clifton and Mark Tauscher are starting to show their age. Marten will allow the Packers to start grooming a replacement. He's a tough kid who should have no problem taking the torch.

79. Jacksonville - Aundrae Allison (WR-East Carolina) - Allison is the type of athletic receiver Jacksonville is lacking right now. He could turn out to be the next Anquan Boldin and should find plenty of room playing alongside the Jags other larger targets.

80. Tennessee - Lorenzo Booker (RB-Florida State) - Booker will give Vince Young a receiving threat out of the backfield. He also could become the lightning to the thunder of LenDale White. Norm Chow will find ways to get him involved.

81. New York Giants - Manuel Ramirez (OG-Texas Tech) - Ramirez is a behemoth who should step in and help keep Eli Manning upright. The Giants line has been terrible recently and Ramirez could start as early as Week 1.

82. St. Louis - Aaron Rouse (S-Virginia Tech) - Rouse is another big safety who will press for starting time this season if only in a partial status. Rouse is a former linebacker who should help improve the Rams run defense at the second level.

83. Carolina - Ryan McBean (DT-Oklahoma St) - McBean is a little undersized for a DT, but playing on Carolina's line he should be able to reak havoc. Peppers and Co. will occupy opponents' blockers enough to give this kid a chance to make an impact in their DT rotation.

84. Kansas City - Ryan Harris (OT-Notre Dame) - Harris is a physical blocker who will be a good addition to an aging Kansas City line. He'll learn plenty as a rookie and should be ready to step into the starting rotation within a year or two.

85. Seattle - Josh Gattis (S-Wake Forest) - Seattle recently lost Ken Hamlin and they've had trouble finding stability in the secondary over recent seasons. Gattis is a talented kid who would have a great shot of beating out the veterans and earning a starting spot this season.

86. Denver - Turk McBride (DT-Tennessee) - Denver finally looks outside of Cleveland for defensive lineman. McBride comes from Tennessee which has provided alot of solid DTs to the NFL in recent seasons. McBride will keep the tradition going.

87. Dallas - Mason Crosby (K-Colorado) - Dallas is the most likely team to take a look at Crosby this early in the draft. After trying about 472 kickers over the past five years, the 'Boys will look to Crosby to be their long term answer to their most perplexing demon.

88. New Orleans - Troy Smith (QB-Ohio St) - Sean Peyton apparently doesn't mind short QBs (see: Brees, Drew) and Smith could be a great fit for the Saints. He'll have a few years to lay low behind Brees and could team with Colston and Bush to keep the Saints marching into the future.

89. New York Jets - Scott Chandler (TE-Iowa) - The Jets don't have much at the tight end position and Pennington would love to have this big 6'7" target as his safety valve. Chandler is also no slouch as a blocker and will see plenty of action as a rookie.

90. Philadelphia - Buster Davis (ILB-FSU) - Remember when the Eagles selected Broderick Bunkley last season? They learned nothing. This season they'll address the linebacker need by selecting the one guy they shouldn't: Buster Davis.

91. New England - A. J. Davis (CB-N.C. State) - Asante Samuel may not be back next season and Davis is just the type of player Belichek loves. He flashed his skills in college and the Patiots will help him reach his full potential.

92. Buffalo (from Baltimore) - Eric Wright (UNLV) - This talented kid falls into the Bills lap because of some character issues. He's super talented and if he keeps himself out of trouble he can become the perfect replacement for Nate Clements.

93. San Diego - H. B. Blades (ILB-Pittsburgh) - The current Charger inside linebackers are on the verge of collecting social security. Blades will become the heir apparent to a tradition of steady, talented Charger linebackers.

94. Chicago - Earl Everett (OLB-Florida) - Everett is the kind of player who could flourish with the Bears. With so much attention being paid to Urlacher, Everett could develop into one of the league's best complimentary linebackers with the potential for more if Briggs doesn't leave.

95. Indianapolis - Chris Henry (RB-Arizona) - After letting Dominic Rhodes move on after this season, Henry could become a great compliment to Joseph Addai. Henry flashed his wheels at the combine in Indy and would love to speed around the RCA Dome a little more often.

96. San Diego (compensatory) - Tarell Brown (CB-Texas) - San Diego always seems to have some question marks at corner. Brown is a very good player who could help ease remove this position from the Chargers list of needs year after year.

97. San Francisco (compensatory) - Tim Shaw (OLB-PSU) - Shaw's versatility will be appealing to Mike Nolan here. Shaw spent time at DE,OLB, and ILB while with the Nittany Lions and should find time to help out the Niners in multiple ways this season.

98. Indianapolis (compensatory) - Quinn Pitcock (DT-Ohio St) - Indy's run defense could use a motor guy like Pitcock in the middle. Pitcock anchored the defensive line the past two years and was one of the reasons why Hawk, Carpenter, and Laurinitis thrived for the Buckeyes.

99. Oakland (compensatory) - David Clowney (WR-Virginia Tech) - Moss and Porter aren't getting any younger in Oakland and Clowney is a superb athlete who should become a reliable target in a few short years with the potential to become JaMarcus Russell's number 1 option.
