==
19.  Philadelphia Eagles - WR Devin Thomas, Michigan State

Thomas is a playmaking WR from a program which has produced quite a few of those players in the league.
==

Jenkins can hold down his side of the field when the Bucs bring pressure, also a return threat.
==
21.  Washington Redskins - CB Aqib Talib, Kansas

Carlos Rogers is coming off a bad injury, Talib is a playmaker who can ballhawk.
==

==
25.  Seattle Seahawks - WR Desean Jackson, California

==
26. Jacksonville Jaguars - DE Quentin Groves, Auburn

Groves is an explosive pass rusher who can fill the void left by Bobby McCray on third downs.
==
27. San Diego Chargers - OT Sam Baker, Southern California

==
28.  Dallas Cowboys - CB Antoine Cason, Arizona

The addition of a still suspended Pac-Man Jones doesn't change the Cowboys' draft strategy.
==

==
