The Early Line

20 Lions (from Cowboys)
Larry English, LB, Northern Illinois
A college end, he has the build and athleticism to be a playmaker.

21 Eagles
Chris Wells, RB, Ohio State
Wells would be a nice replacement for Correll Buckhalter, who left as a free agent.

22 Vikings
Hakeem Nicks, WR, North Carolina
Having missed out on Houshmandzadeh, Minnesota snags Nicks (181 catches and 21 TDs in three seasons).

23 Patriots
Aaron Maybin, DE, Penn State
The ideal project for Bill Belichick: a college end who projects as an outside 'backer in the 3--4.

24 Falcons
Evander Hood, DT, Missouri
Atlanta lost DT Grady Jackson in free agency, but Hood could fill the void with his size (6'3", 300 pounds), tenacity and passion.

25 Dolphins
Alex Mack, C, California
Miami must get stronger inside, and Mack is 6'4", 311 pounds and bright.

26 Ravens
Darrius Heyward-Bey, WR, Maryland
Baltimore wants a deep threat, and Heyward-Bey had the combine's fastest 40 time (4.3).

27 Colts
James Laurinaitis, LB, Ohio State
His size (6'2", 244) and athleticism will fit nicely in Indy's Cover Two scheme.

28 Eagles (from Panthers)
Eben Britton, T, Arizona
The physical Britton provides depth behind free-agent signee Stacy Andrews.

29 Giants
Percy Harvin, WR, Florida
New York needs Plaxico insurance, and Harvin is the best available prospect.
