Ultimate Mock Draft - Round 5
The second stanza of the second day doesn't suffer from a lack of notable picks...
Despite falling to Day 2, C.J. Ah You of Oklahoma could become a contributer with Tampa Bay. Although he sounds more like a sound-bite from Happy Days, Ah You is exactly the kind of versatile defender that the Bucs have been needing in their post Super Bowl decline.
A player with incredible upside in this round is Jordan Palmer of UTEP. Palmer is often seen more as Carson's younger brother than a potential NFL capable athlete, but he has great size and a good arm - perhaps Brad Childress and the Vikings can help him figure out the rest.
Another recognizable name that will likely still be available in Round 5 is Selvin Young of Texas. Though he was overshadowed by the likes of Cedric Benson and Vince Young throughout most of his college career, Young might have a chance in the league as a third down back or situational substitute for another unheralded college back, Willie Parker of the Steelers.
Saving the best for last, national championship cover boy Chris Leak of Florida has seen a recent spike in his popularity that was nowhere to be found before and during his senior season. A big game in the national spotlight and suddenly Leak might not be the second day long shot everyone had him pegged as. STH isn't buying it. Leak might someday be a capable backup, but that is probably his ceiling. Where better to learn than with the world champion Colts.
