2008 NFL Football Draft - Second Day Stars

by Bodog Sportsbook | Apr 28 2008

Everyone knows about the Dorseys, the Longs and the McFaddens. The first day of the NFL Draft was full of the big names that fans have become familiar with watching football on Saturdays and from reading five months of mock drafts. Most fans enjoyed the first two rounds and then moved on to the NBA playoffs, cleaning out the garage or cutting the lawn… but there were some late round gems drafted on the second day. Now before you wager on your favorite team to win the Super Bowl, take a look at some of the second-day prospects that may help your team win more games next season.

Arizona Cardinals – Kenny Iwebema DE Iowa 4th round
Strong, physical, run-stopping end. Very good at the point of attack.

Atlanta Falcons – Kroy Biermann LB Montana 5th round
72 tackles, 15 sacks, and five forced fumbles as a DE last season.

Baltimore Ravens – Tom Zbikowski S ND 4th round
Will help immediately on special teams. Smart and strong in run support.

Buffalo Bills – Reggie Corner CB Akron 4th round
Good instincts in coverage and possesses good closing speed.

Carolina Panthers – Dan Connor LB PSU 3rd round
Projected as a late first-round pick, he’s a tackle machine that slid to the third.

Chicago Bears – Craig Steltz S LSU 4th round
Starting safety for the national champions. Smart and tough.

Cincinnati Bengals – Mario Urrutia WR Louisville 7th round
6’6”, 242 lbs, and 17.5 ypc. Could be a steal in three years.

Cleveland Browns – Beau Bell LB UNLV 4th round
Thumper inside in the 3-4 scheme. Will compete for the starting spot.

Dallas Cowboys – Orlando Scandrick CB Boise St 5th round
Converted WR. All the natural tools, just needs some coaching.

Denver Broncos – Josh Barrett S ASU 7th round
4.35 in the 40. Has had injury problems, but a playmaker when healthy.

Detroit Lions – Caleb Campbell S Army 7th round
Elite character and work ethic. Could be a leader on special teams.

Green Bay Packers – Jeremy Thompson DE Wake Forest 4th round
Plays with purpose. Has potential to stand up at the next level in the 3-4.

Houston Texans – Xavier Adibi LB VT 4th round
Great in pass coverage. Strong leadership ability.


Indianapolis Colts – Mike Hart RB Michigan 6th round
A winner. Can come in and play as a third-down back immediately.

Jacksonville Jaguars – Chauncey Washington RB USC 7th round
Had problems with academics, but a unique combination of power and speed.

Kansas City Chiefs – Barry Richardson OT Clemson 6th round
6’7”, 320 lb brainiac. Graduated high school and college in six years. Total.

Miami Dolphins – Lionel Dotson DE Arizona 7th round
Strong enough to occupy double teams so the 3-4 linebackers can make plays.

Minnesota Vikings – John David Booty QB USC 5th round
The most pro-ready QB of the second tier prospects. Great leadership ability.

New England Patriots – Kevin O’Connell QB San Diego St 3rd round
Very mobile QB prospect could be groomed as Brady’s backup.

New Orleans Saints – DeMario Pressley DT NC State 5th round
Has a big body and takes up space. Will free up Sedrick Ellis to make plays.

New York Giants – Mario Manningham WR Michigan 3rd round
Lying at the combine started his slide. A steal for the world champions.

New York Jets – Marcus Henry WR Kansas 6th round
Red zone threat. Continues to add bulk every year without losing speed.

Oakland Raiders – Arman Shields WR Richmond 4th round
Recovering from a knee injury. Highly productive when healthy.

Philadelphia Eagles – Quintin Demps S Texas 4th round
17 career INTs. Forced opposing teams to scheme away from him.

Pittsburgh Steelers – Dennis Dixon QB Oregon 5th round
Makes plays with his feet. Not Kordell Stewart.

San Diego Chargers – DeJuan Tribble CB BC 6th round
One of the top corners in college entering last season. Slid due to injury.

San Francisco 49ers – Reggie Smith CB Oklahoma 3rd round
Instinctive big hitter, but lacks great timed speed. Plays fast on the field.

Seattle Seahawks – Owen Schmidt FB WVU 5th round
Tough. Mean. Effort. Famous for breaking his facemasks. 10 in three years.

St. Louis Rams – Roy Schuening OG Oregon State 5th round
Plays aggressive and doesn’t stop until the whistle goes. Great effort guy.

Tampa Bay Buccaneers – Dre Moore DT Maryland 4th round
Big body and plays with a huge chip on his shoulder.

Tennessee Titans – Lavelle Hawkins WR CAL 4th round
Athletic wideout. Possesses good measurables. Needs to work on technique.

Prolific numbers in college. Needs bulk to play at the next level.

Some of these players might be role players, some will be starters and odds are some may even be the future face of your franchise.
