There are so many roster holes here that \"best available\" should work throughout the draft. Finding a WR for Derek Carr to grow with should be a high priority. Oakland could use more than one CB to add to a talent-depleted group. Immediate help at defensive end and offensive tackle would be nice but might not get the same priority with so many holes facing this front office.

PROSPECT ANALYSIS
Athletic linebacker who falls into a habit of letting plays come to him rather than making things happen. While lacking an aggressive strike as a tackler, Pullard has the athleticism to be a solid NFL player. He has to find a scheme that can keep him clean or he might be just another linebacker.

NEEDS ANALYSIS
Free agent-signing Jermey Parnell should help stabilize the RT spot, but there is room for improvement across the interior of the Jaguars' offensive line. To challenge for a playoff spot, this defense will have to find better cover corners and free safety help to battle against the likes of the Colts. It would be quite an upset for the RB-starved Jaguars not to look in that direction.

The addition of CB Chris Culliver could buy the Redskins an extra year at CB, but it probably shouldn't. The Redskins had one of the worst back ends in football, and every position there could be a draft target. NT Terrance Knighton is a big help up the middle, but the ILBs need upgrading regardless. Will this finally be the year the Redskins successfully address their issues at RT?

Big-bodied defensive tackle who could find a home as a two-gapping nose guard in a 3-4. Simon is 24 years old and is coming off of a knee injury, but he has noticeable power and shows potential to slow the run in the middle of a defense. He needs much better pad level and plenty of coaching for his potential to be unlocked.

While he has physical limitations, Hart is a competitive player who flashes NFL power potential.

All-purpose running back with a lean frame and a big heart. Showed consistency of effort and production during his time at Missouri. His value as a runner is limited due to his size, but he has the potential to become a legitimate target out of the backfield and might warrant some reps in camp as a slot receiver. Murphy can step in and immediately challenge for the top spot as a kickoff and/or punt returner.

Buffalo could look to add more talent at linebacker and a blocking tight end to go with Charles Clay.

Nzeocha has a tremendous amount of athleticism and speed, but his instincts for the game must be developed and sharpened before he can be trusted as a full-time starter. His potential and ceiling are exciting (provided he recovers from injury), but he's the textbook definition of project. Like the Eagles' Bryan Braman, he has the length and speed to become a highly effective special-teams player.

Plays with straight-line track speed and is a threat to go over the top of the fastest corners if the get too bold. Alford lacks the short-area elusiveness that would push his draft stock higher, but his speed will open underneath catches and he might be impossible to stay with on crossing routes. He offers value as a kick returner, but must be coached to hit it and go rather than dancing. He might be able to play receiver outside in the right scheme.

One-year starter at free safety, posting outrageous ball-production numbers. While Byrd is the NFL comparison from a ball-skills standpoint, Holliman doesn't show Byrd's fire or competitiveness. A feast or famine free safety whose lack of field discipline will be more heavily exploited in the NFL, Holliman's ball skills and instincts will surely excite teams, even though his rumored lack of football character could sabotage the talent.

Hulking tackle, but needs to do more with it. Doesn't have the kick-slide to consistently get out to meet speed off the edge, and when faced with inside moves, he struggles to move feet and secure the gap. Foot quickness could benefit if he trimmed down, but a move inside could be considered if teams feel like he can play with enough bend.

Ekpre-Olomu's height and knee issue are likely to take him off the board as a first-round prospect for many defenses. However, what he lacks in measurables, he makes up for with production, natural ability and confidence. He might lack the size teams want from an outside cornerback, but he's more than capable of playing in the slot and playing press, off or zone effectively. Unfortunately for Ekpre-Olomu, the knee injury could hurt his draft stock.

The addition of Darren McFadden is stop-gap at best. Despite talent on the roster at RB, this is the draft to go bargain hunting at that position if desired. Dallas could use immediate help at cornerback. Rod Marinelli demands upfield talent from his interior, and that is missing on this roster. Dallas could look for SAM or MIKE LB this year. The depth of the OL might be addressed at some point.

The Patriots, under Bill Belichick, have always been diligent at taking care of their offensive and defensive fronts early in the draft. New England needs to find help along the defensive line to stop the run and could use a pass-rushing end. Addressing a hole at guard could happen at some point. New England will always look for big-play threats on offense so keep an eye on WR and even RB. The Patriots lost starters at cornerback and Belichick rarely hesitates to continue to add to the secondary during the draft.

Guard and tight end are both needs but can usually be found beyond the first three rounds for this offense.
