With the 50th pick in the 2015 NFL Draft, the Buffalo Bills select Tre Jackson, OG, Florida StateOGs flying off the board here. Erik Pears, who started every game at right guard for the Bills in 2014, signed with San Francisco. As of now, that leaves the Bills with likely four players to be in the mix to start at the two guard spots -- Kraig Urbik, Chris Williams, Richie Incognito and Cyril Richardson. Urbik carries a $3.75 million cap hit, making him a prime candidate to be released if the team needs more cap space. If he were released prior to June 1, the move would save $2.35 million against the 2015 cap, or the move could come after June 1, which would save $3.05 million. Williams, who is coming off back surgery that ended his 2014 season, will count $3.35 million against the cap in 2015. If he were to be released after June 1, it would save $2.475 million. Given all of that, safe to say the Bills need a guard. High chance either Urbik or Williams are cut, so they need a replacement, or at least more depth. Jackson can come in and provide competition, maybe even earn a starting spot. Jindred OTC

With the 51st pick in the 2015 NFL draft the Houston Texans select, Byron Jones, CB, ConnecticutWith this pick I was considering a few other options, but as I looked at the Texans roster one thing became rather apparent... They don't really have any solid depth at CB, They have Jonathan Joseph and Kareem Jackson but outside of that they have nobody. Byron Jones looks the part of a CB and has the skills to back it up. Few concerns about his man coverage abilities and a shoulder injury, but playing for the Texans he doesn't really have to cover that long before JJ Watt forces a QB to make a bad throw lol.

With the 2.20 pick the Philadelphia Eagles select Cody Prewitt, S, Ole Miss. Chip loves his size and his leadership. Kids very smart who dorks out on film and has a lot of potential. Needs to get meaner. MrCincinnati

With the 53rd pick, the Bengals select Xavier Cooper DT Washington State The Bengals finished dead last in the league with sacks, so the DL is a top priority. With the addition of Michael Johnson though, DE is not a concern. Geno Atkins is not going anywhere, but Domata Peko lined up next to him is a weakness right now at DT. Brandon Thompson is a rotation player who's a free agent next year, and Devon Still won't likely be playing anytime soon. Cooper can start out as a backup at first, but anybody would help this DL. inoccent OTC

With the 54th pick in the 2015 NFL draft, the Detroit Lions select Jake Fisher, OT, OregonSTRENGTHS: Has broad shoulders, long arms and quick, strong hands to latch onto opponents. He's strong enough to catch and control defenders and does a nice job of turning them away from the action. He plays with good knee bend and on the balls of his feet, helping him to anchor and mirror effectively. Fisher is a very effective double-team blocker, releasing from one target to hit another. He is a selfless, passionate and versatile player whose blue-collar style was appreciated by the coaching staff. WEAKNESSES: More of a technician than an elite athlete and will struggle to handle the speed rushers of the NFL. He does not possess top-notch initial quickness and fluidity in his kick-slide. Struggles to balance and recover if beaten off the ball. Shows the knee-bend to anchor, but can get himself in trouble when his feet stop moving and as he tires and loses the leverage battle steelersfan4life56 OTC w/ Ari Cardinals

With the 55th pick of the NFL draft the Arizona Cardinals select, Nate Orchard, OLB, Utah. The Cardinals have gotten so desperate for pass rushers that they have signed washed up, and often injured Lamaar Woodley. Orchard is a some what similar player to Woodley in his prime. Using his over powering strength to bullrush the OT into the pocket and cause headaches for the QB. His athleticism isn't elite but he does a fine job of getting off the LOS, and closing on the ball carrier. He is also an excellent player against the run, which is a must when you're in the same division as Lynch. Orchard is confident that he can move to the elephant olb role in the nfl if need be.

With the 56th Pick in the 2015 NFL Draft, the Pittsburgh Steelers select Anthony Harris, CB/S, VirginiaWith this pick, the Steelers shore up the 2nd of their Top 2 needs for 2015. The more I watch Harris, the more I like him, and the more I believe he would make an excellent Cornerback in the NFL, rather than a Safety. In college, he played Strong Safety for Virginia, but that likely isn't going to be his position in the NFL. For one thing, he has too lanky a frame to handle the rigors of that particular position at 6'1" 183 lbs and is more suited to CB thanks to his incredible coverage skills. He excels the most in zone coverage, showing excellent ability in cutting routes and reading the eyes of the Quarterback, but struggles in Run Defense and isn't a very good blitzer (he tends to disappear a lot when asked to play up in the box). He could be a perfect fit for the Steelers Defense, which tends to sit their Cornerbacks back a bit in coverage to diagnose plays, rather than play true man-to-man. P.S. Yes, that is a picture of him out-jumping Sammy Watkins and making the interception. coltsrockjcr The Carolina Panthers are OTC.

With the 57th Pick in the 2015 NFL Draft, the Carolina Panthers select DJ Humphries, OT, Florida The Panthers are committed to Newton as their franchise QB as they should be, but they have struggled to keep him upright thus far in his career. Humphries provides them a guy with the ability to be a very good NFL LT. Needs a good deal of polishing, but the guy moves with incredible athleticism for an offensive lineman of his size and is extremely aggressive. Fell here due to inconsistency/technique problems and a few nagging injury concerns. If he progresses as he should with NFL coaching and stays healthy, the Panthers might have found their future franchise LT. saskabronco is OTC

With the 58th pick in the draft, the Baltimore Ravens select Jay Ajayi, RB, Boise StBaltimore could use a young, every down back. With Rice long gone, Pierce out of the picture and only a 30-year-old Forsett to rely on, putting some more talent around Flacco is important. Saska OTC with Denver.
