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.
