Since Jeff Reed could block Smith on a running play
We won’t be taking him
I'm getting tired of saying this: Dick LeBeau’s system is so complex very few rookies can make an impact.

2011 NFL Mock Draft 21-32
21) Kansas City Phil Taylor, DT/NT, Baylor ——- Taylor could be the perfect power player in the middle of Romeo Crennel’s 3-4 defense. I am not overly concered that Phil Taylor may need some motivation. With Todd Haley and Crennel have a way of communicating with players. Ask Dwayne Bowe.
22) Indianapolis Derrek Sherrod, OT, Mississippi St.——- As long as Peyton Manning remains the QB in Indy the Colts will be a pass happy offense. Sherrod is a better pure pass blocker than both Athony Castonza and Gabe Carirmi.
23) Philadelphia Brandon Harris, CB, Miami ——- Harris lacks the great size of some of the other top CB in this Draft class. What he does have is talent. The CB position opposite Asante Samuel is dreadful in Philly. Brandon Harris will have an immediate impact on the Eagles defense.
24) New Orleans Gabe Carimi, OT, Wisconsin ——-Carimi has a nasty streak, is physical and would be right at home the Big Easy. Carimi can also kick inside to Guard.
25) Seattle Ryan Mallett, QB, Arkansas ——— Pete Carroll is reported to be smitten with Ryan Mallet’s arm. The decision is aided by the age of FA QB Matt Hasslebeck and a lack of confidence in Charlie Whitehurst.
26) Baltimore Justin Houston, DE/OLB, GA ———- Muhammad Wilkerson, Marvin Austin and Akeem Ayers are still on the board. However, the bookend (to Terrell Suggs) hybrid defender Justin Houston becomes a Baltimore Raven. Look out Roethlisberger!
27) Atlanta Muhammad Wilkerson, DE, Temple ——- Wilkerson falls into lap of the Falcons and is the BPA on the board. Falcons need a CB, OT and WR. Wilkerson has the talent to transform the Falcons on defense.
28) New England Nate Solder , OT, Coloroda ——— Nate Solder is not ready to be a starting LT in the NFL. Hopefully he is not thrown to wolves early because the Patriots have some OL problems.
29) Chicago Marvin Austin, DT, North Carolina ——- In the hands of great DL coach Rod Marinelli Marvin Austin could become the new Tommie Harris and the Bears would be just that much more dominant. I think Julius Peppers would love this pick.
30) New York Akeem Ayers, LB ,UCLA ——- It would be very interesting to see what Rex Ryan does with a talented player like Akeem Ayers.
31) Pittsburgh Aaron Williams, CB, Texas ——— The Steelers need a significant upgrade in their secondary to take some pressure off Troy Polomalu.
32) Green Bay Mikel Leshoure, RB, Illinois ——- Leshoure would be the most exploisive RB in Green Bay since a young Ahman Green.
