Six Second Day Steals
Well, they turned off the lights and kicked us out of Radio City. Seriously. Tom Curran and I were just filing our stories for the main site when we got booted. I didn't have time for one final feature: The best players still available. So here goes:
1. Jarron Gilbert, San Jose State DL: He can play a variety of roles on the defensive line and has rare pass-rushing skills for a player available this late.
2. Shonn Greene, Iowa RB: He can catch, he can block, and he can pick up tough yards near the goal. Green could be the next mid-round running back steal.
3. Jasper Brinkley, South Carolina LB: Now fully recovered from a torn ACL from 2007, he could be a leader at inside linebacker.
4. Michael Johnson, Georgia Tech DE: The second day is the time to take a gamble on a workout wonder like Johnson.
5. Shawn Nelson, Southern Miss TE: A pass-catching tight end to bust seams for you.
6. Andre Brown, N.C. State: Like Steve Slaton and Matt Forte last year, Brown is a versatile back who slipped in the draft because he lacks a wow factor. But he can help a team right away.
