No.14 Philadelphia Eagles, Brodrick Bunkley
The Eagles don’t necessarily fill a need here since they’re pretty loaded at defensive tackle. However, Bunkley was certainly the best player available at 14 and could step up as a starter if Hollis Thomas, Darwin Walker and Mike Patterson continue to underperform.
No. 15 St. Louis Rams, Tye Hill
Hill was clocked at 4.3 and took the honor of fastest cornerback at the combine. Mel Kiper had Hill as the highest rated corner in the draft over Virginia Tech’s Jimmy Williams.
No. 16 Miami Dolphins, Jason Allen
Allen has an exceptional combination of size, strength and speed. With all of those skills intact, Allen has the making of a solid safety. With Sam Madison now in Kansas City, however, Allen might also be looked at to play cornerback as well.
No. 17 Minnesota Vikings, Chad Greenway
Minnesota filled an immediate need at linebacker by going with Greenway out of Iowa. Greenway is tall and has great lateral speed, which would be great in the Vikings traditional 4-3 defense. He might need to add some size to his 243 pound frame.
No. 18 Dallas Cowboys, Bobby Carpenter
With the Cowboys filling most of their pressing needs through free agency, Carpenter is a great value pick at 18. Carpenter excels in pass coverage and is tough and versatile. One of his weaknesses might be overall strength, however and needs to clean up his technique.
