64. Miami Dolphins: Jamaal Charles, RB, Texas

The Dolphins currently have Ronnie Brown who got Injured last year.  So the Dolphins go with Jamaal Charles who is a very fast strong RB from Texas. He could get some playing time in 2008 and did very well at the 2008 nfl Draft Combine.

65. St. Louis Rams: Lavelle Hawkins, WR, Cal

The Rams just let Isaac Bruce go so they need to find someone young to step up and take that job.  Near the end of the 2007 season early 2008 Lavelle Hawkins was outplaying Desean Jackson.  Look for Hawkins to fit in well with the Rams offense.

66. Kansas City Chiefs: Terrance Wheatley, CB, Colarado

The Chiefs increase their secondary in 2008 with a great CB.

67. Carolina Panthers: Ray Rice, RB, Rutgers

The Panthers got rid of their starting back for 2008 so they go with one here.  Ray Rice is a big RB that has the ability to run both inside and outside the tackles.  Look for Rice to get some carries in 2008.

68. Atlanta Falcons: Tony Hills, OT, Texas

The Falcons need every position so why not give them a big OT from a good team to help protect their QB in 2008.

69. New England Patriots: Jermichael Finley, TE, Texas

The Patriots can always use another weapon on offense.  Finley is both a good block and big receiving Tight End for the Patriots to mix in with Watson in the 2008 nfl Season.

70. San Francisco 49ers: Duane Brown, OT, Va Tech

San Francisco needs a lot of help in the 2008 nfl Season.  They had trouble running the ball in 2007 and protecting their QB so they draft an OT for 2008. Brown is a fierce competitor and could get on the field in 2008. 

71. Buffalo Bills: Chilo Rachal

The only reason the Bills are taking Rachal here is because he is extremely good talent and probably should have gone in the 2nd round.  He is rated as the 2nd Guard in the 2008 nfl Draft.  So most likely he will go before this in the early to late second round.

72. Jacksonville Jaguars: Frank Okam, DT, Texas

Frank Okam has fallen because of injuries and workout problems. However, I see Okam making an impact in 2008 and he can help one of the best up and coming defenses in the nfl.  Look for him to get some rotation time in the 2008 nfl season.

73. Minnesota Vikings: Andre Caldwell, WR, Florida

The Vikings are scared of first round receivers so they wait until the third round.  Caldwell is a very quick and fast receiver who could go well with a young receiving core in 2008. 

74. Carolina Panthers: Oniel Cousins, OT

The Panthers increase their line even more by picking up another tackle for 2008.

75. Chicago Bears: Paul Hubbard, WR, Wisconsin

The Bears receivers aren’t good. They decide to give whoever is throwing the ball in 2008 another weapon in Paul Hubbard.

76. Detroit Lions: Calais Campbell, DE, Miami

The Lions always need help on defense especially because of their big drop off at the end of 2007.  Calais Campbell most likely will not fall this far in the 2008 NFL Draft but he has here.  So the Lions snag him for his size and just because he is of first round talent in the 2008 NFL Draft.

77. Houston Texans: Tavares Gooden, OLB,

The Texans help boost their defense for the 2008 NFL Season.

78. Cincinnati Bengals: Roy Schuening, G, Oregon State

The Bengals have had trouble running the ball at times.  So they draft a very good Guard to help them in the 2008 NFL season.

79. New Orleans Saints: Mike Hart, RB, MI

I think Hart will make a Difference in the NFL because of his will to succeed.  Look for him to fall because of his size and speed.  However, I think he would complement Reggie Bush in the future when Deuce is gone.  Look for him to work some in 2008 depending on pre-season.
