A.J. Jefferson was beaten often in his first year as a starter for the Cardinals.  Johnson may not push for a starting job immediately, but he has the frame to excel in press coverage.  He also provides depth at safety, another position where the Cardinals are thin.

Abram Elam and Gerald Sensabaugh are both unrestricted free agents.  The Cowboys signed Brodney Pool to replace Elam as the Cowboys strong safety.  Martin has excellent range and is very physical in run support from the free safety position.  He is a good value this late in the 3rd round.

The Titans need to find a replacement for Eugene Amano at the pivot position.  Jones is an experienced center who is quick off the ball.  He lacks the strength to push defenders off the ball consistently, but he is intelligent, uses his size well to wall off defenders, and possesses the agility to get to the outside on stretch plays.

The Bengals signed Benjarvus Green-Ellis in free agency, and have Bernard Scott returning from last year's playoff team.  Polk provides and every-down option who is solid between the tackles.  While his lack of spectacular play during Senior Bowl week may have hurt his stock, Polk is a solid 2nd round halfback who the Bengals are fortunate to be able to acquire this late in the 3rd.

The Falcons have needs all over the offensive line, and lost a key player in Curtis Lofton to the Saints in free agency.  With Tony Gonzalez aging, the Falcons go best player available here and take Clemson tight end Dwayne Allen.  Allen is possibly the most complete tight end in this class, showing the ability to help as a blocker in the run game, and possessing excellent skills as a receiver as well.

The Lions franchised defensive end Cliff Avril, and are forced to retain the aging Kyle Vandenbosch (his 2012 salary is fully guaranteed).  Bequette is a powerful pass rusher who is solid setting the edge against the run.  He gives the Lions flexibility going forward, either as an eventual replacement for Vandenbosch, or in the event that they are unable to sign Avril to a long-term deal.

This may be a reach for the two-gap plugger from BYU, but with Casey Hampton recovering from an ACL tear in 2011, the Steelers may need Fangupo to step in sooner than later.  He has the natural power and motor to develop into a solid nose tackle in the NFL.

The Broncos lost Eddie Royal in free agency, and Eric Decker may not be ready after a knee injury late in the 2011 season.  Adams gives Peyton Manning a playmaker who, while he lacks the ability to stretch the field vertically, excels at gaining separation on short to intermediate routes.  He projects as a slot receiver in the NFL, but has excellent YAC potential because of his quickness and ability to slip tackles.

With questions surrounding Mike Patterson's future in the NFL, and despite the re-signing of Antonio Dixon, the Eagles need help at the defensive tackle position.  Thompson's stock has fallen following an average showing at the Senior Bowl, but he is still a good value here as a stout run defender who can play both defensive tackle positions in the Eagles' 4-3 front.

Roman Harper is excellent as a blitzing safety, but offers very little in pass coverage.  Allen shows good range is a ballhawk from the strong safety position.  He is also a punishing hitter in run-support.  He is an excellent value this late in the draft, and is an instant upgrade in the Saints starting lineup. 

Norman has the size and physicality that the Packers like in their corners.  With Charles Woodson entering his 15th season, the raw but talented corner from Coastal Carolina provides a potential replacement for when Woodson decides to call it quits.

The Ravens franchised Ray Rice, but they still need to find a replacement for the retired Ricky Williams as Rice's backup.  Turbin is a solid between the tackles runner who has the vision and power to keep the chains moving.  He is also a solid pass blocker and receiver out of the backfield.

The 49ers took care of needs up front on both sides of the ball with their first two picks.  Charles gives Coach Harbaugh another weapon to utilize in the passing game.  He gives the 49ers the option of utilizing more sets with two tight ends, and still creating mismatches with Charles' speed.

The Patriots have a defense capable of lining up in multiple fronts.  Crick furthers that versatility with his ability to play either base end or defensive tackle in a 4-3 front, and line up at 5-technique in a 3-4.  He is a smart football player who anchors well against the run, and fits the mold of a Bill Belichick type of player.

The Giants released Brandon Jacobs, leaving the oft-injured Ahmad Bradshaw to carry the load in the running game.  Pierce has excellent vision and runs with a low center of gravity.  He wasn't used much as a receiver at Temple, but shows the ability to be an effective receiver out of the backfield as well.  He will need to be more durable than he was in college if he is to be an impact player in the NFL.
