Round 6:174. Detroit Lions – Dallas Reynolds, C BYU
With the hundred and seventy fourth selection the Detroit Lions select the versatile Cougar center Dallas Reynolds. Dominic Raiola hasn't necessarily endeared himself to the Detroit fans in the last little while and they could look to replace him once his contract expires, Dallas Reynolds has the size and skill to be a solid addition and a potential starter down the line. Plus, he adds versatility as a guy who can play any interior line position.
175. Kansas City Chiefs – Louis Vasquez, OG Texas Tech
With the hundred and seventy fifth selection the Chiefs select the big guard from Texas Tech in Louis Vasquez. The Chiefs guards are getting old and I can't even think who starts opposite Brian Waters so I think finding a guy who can come in, learn the system and improve his game so that he can start down the road is integral and Vasquez has a lot of upside as an incredibly strong and road grating guard.
176. Atlanta Falcons (from St. Louis) – Blake Schlueter, C TCU
With the hundred and seventy sixth selection the Atlanta Falcons pick the fast rising Horned Frog center Blake Schlueter. Todd McClure may hold out for a new contract and it may be the last hoorah for him in Atlanta so the Falcons need to find someone to replace him in the future and Schlueter is very athletic and could be a great prospect when he is NFL ready in a few years.
177. Cleveland Browns – Johnny Knox, WR Abilene Christian
With the hundred and seventy seventh selection the Browns select the Abilene Christian speedster Johnny Knox. With Braylon Edwards future up in the air, Donte Stallworth looking at serving some jail time the Browns could use a receiver and a slot threat and Knox should easily provide that, not to mention he can push Cribbs to be a better receiver and returner as well.
178. Seattle Seahawks – Seth Olsen, OG Iowa
With the hundred and seventy eighth selection the Seahawks select the big and nasty guard from Iowa in Seth Olsen. The Seahawks have had one heck of a time trying to replace Steve Hutchison and still can't seem to put the pieces together, Seth Olsen is definitely not going to be the next Steve Hutchison but he can be solid depth behind current incumbent starters Whale and Sims and could potentially start years down the road.
179. Cincinnati Bengals – Clinton McDonald, DT Memphis
With the hundred and seventy ninth selection the Cincinnati Bengals select the big defensive tackle from Memphis, the Bengals have some good depth at defensive tackle with Pat Sims, Domata Peko and Tank Johnson but they could use some more depth and a bigger body at the nose tackle position and Clinton McDonald is a great pick up here and would give them a nice rotation keeping fresh legs in the game.
180. Jacksonville Jaguars – Joshua Mauga, LB Nevada
With the hundred and eightieth selection the Jacksonville Jaguars select the Nevada inside backer Joshua Mauga. The Jags let Mike Peterson go and Darryl Smith is better suited as the strongside backer and Clint Ingram and Justin Durant are weakside backers primarily so they need an inside guy with some better size and Mauga fits the bills as a bigger backer who can stack up better against the run.
181. Miami Dolphins (from Oakland) – Worrell Williams, LB California
With the hundred and eighty first selection the Miami Dolphins select the California inside backer Worrell Williams. The little brother of D.J. Williams is a solid backer with good size who wouldn't be required to start immediately with Ayodele and Crowder currently in place but some depth behind them would be good and Worrell is probably among the best 3-4 ILB remaining.
182. Green Bay Packers – Thomas Morstead, P SMU
With the hundred and eighty second selection the Green Bay Packers select the Mustang punter Thomas Morstead. Durant Brooks missed most of last season and could still be good but promoting competition never hurts, plus, it allows them to cut the useless Derrick Frost.
183. Buffalo Bills – Quinn Johnson, FB LSU
With the hundred and eighty third selection the Buffalo Bills select the hard nosed LSU fullback Quinn Johnson. The Bills could use a solid lead back for Marshawn Lynch and Fred Jackson and Quinn Johnson is without a doubt one of the best available and could help improve the Bills running game even more and hopefully make it more consistent.
184. San Francisco 49ers – Daniel Holtzclaw, LB Eastern Michigan
With the hundred and eighty fourth selection the San Francisco 49ers select the productive Eastern Michigan linebacker Daniel Holtzclaw. The 49ers re-signed Takeo Spikes but he only has so much time left so they could stand to find his replacement and Holtzclaw is a playmaker who was the single bright spot on a poor Eastern Michigan squad. He would be a great TED backer opposite Patrick Willis and flanked by Lawson, Haralson and newly acquired Brown.
185. Denver Broncos – John Gill, DT/DE Northwestern
With the hundred and eighty fifth selection the Denver Broncos select the stout Northwestern defensive tackle John Gill. John Gill will draw comparisons to former Northwestern DT Luis Castillo and would be a solid addition to their squad as a 3-4 defensive end considering his strength against the run and ability to collapse the pocket.
186. Washington Redskins – Will Davis, DE Illinois
With the hundred and eighty sixth selection the Washington Redskins select Illinois defensive end Will Davis. The Redskins need a solid defensive end opposite of Andre Carter and though Will Davis is probably not going to be a starter right away but he could provide some situational pass rush ability and maybe in the future be a solid option.
187. Green Bay Packers (from New Orleans) – Lydon Murtha, OT Nebraska
With the hundred and eighty seventh selection the Green Bay Packers select the athletic Nebraska offensive tackle Lydon Murtha. Lydon blew up the combine and looked super athletic and would probably be a great fit into a zone blocking scheme considering his ability and the age of current tackles Mark Tauscher and Chad Clifton.
188. Houston Texans – Bruce Johnson, CB Miami
With the hundred and eighty eighth selection the Houston Texans grab the Miami cornerback Bruce Johnson. Houston could use some more depth at cornerback and Bruce Johnson is the best Miami prospect in this draft, so, they may have lost their first round streak but at least they keep their draft streak alive… that's about all they can hang their hat on in this draft.
189. San Diego Chargers – Glen Coffee, RB Alabama
With the hundred and eighty ninth selection the San Diego Chargers select talented Alabama running back Glen "Mr. Folgers" Coffee. Coffee is a talented back that can run, catch and block and even though the Chargers have Sproles, Tomlinson, Hester and Tolbert another back couldn't hurt considering he is one of the best available for what the Chargers like to do.
190. Chicago Bears – Adrian Grady, DT Louisville
With the hundred and ninetieth selection the Chicago Bears select the Louisville defensive tackle Adrian Grady. The Bears need some depth, Dusty has trouble staying healthy and Harris and Harrison could use some help in the rotation and Grady could easily provide that for them.
191. Tampa Bay Buccaneers – Ra'Shon Harris, DT Oregon
With the hundred and ninety first selection the Bucs select the big Oregon Duck defensive tackle Ra'Shon Harris. The Bucs need some space eaters inside and there aren't many available who have the talent and ability of Harris. Plugging him inside with Dre Moore and Chris Hovan will give the Bucs more talent and size at the position.
192. Detroit Lions (from Dallas) – Brandon Long, DE Michigan State
With the hundred and ninety second selection the Detroit Lions grab in-state prospect and stellar defensive end Brandon Long from Michigan State. Brandon Long has come on big time with his talent, explosion and strength and could be a great LDE in a 4-3 or an Elephant in a 3-4. He will provide ample pass rush with Cliff Avril opposite him.
193. New York Jets – Andrew Gardner, OT Georgia Tech
With the hundred and ninety third selection the New York Jets select Georgia Tech offensive tackle Andrew Gardner. The Jets need a replacement for Damien Woody and Gardner could provide that down the road, he won't be required to start right away but he would definitely be a solid fit for the smash mouth offense that Rex Ryan will implement in New York.
194. Philadelphia Eagles – Augustus Parrish, OT Kent State
With the hundred and ninety fourth selection the Philadelphia Eagles select Kent State offensive tackle Augustus Parrish. Andy Reid loves drafting offensive and defensive linemen, Augustus Parrish is the best available, seems like a natural selection for Big Andy.
195. Philadelphia Eagles (from Minnesota) – Graham Gano, K Florida State
With the hundred and ninety fifth selection the Philadelphia Eagles select Florida State kicker Graham Gano. David Akers had a horrible season and he may need some competition to make him better so the Eagles grab the best available and hopefully have their future kicker or make their current kicker better and more consistent.
196. St. Louis Rams (from Atlanta) – Tom Brandstater, QB Fresno State
With the hundred and ninety sixth selection the St. Louis Rams select Fresno State quarterback Tom Brandstater. The Rams are really high on this guy and will look to find a way to draft him as a successor to Marc Bulger down the line. He'll have the opportunity to grow and flourish in the new west coast offense and hopefully be the answer the Rams are looking for at QB for the future.
197. Dallas Cowboys (from Miami) – Will Johnson, DT/DE Michigan
With the hundred and ninety seventh selection the Dallas Cowboys select the powerful defensive tackle from Michigan in Will Johnson. 45 reps with 225 gets you drafted regardless and he could fill in for the recently departed Chris Canty and provide some serious strength opposite newly acquired Igor Olshansky who put up 225 44 times at his combine workout, that is a lot of raw power.
198. Baltimore Ravens – Lee Robinson, LB Alcorn State
With the hundred and ninety eighth selection the Baltimore Ravens select Alcorn State linebacker Lee Robinson. The Ravens lost Bart Scott and they need someone inside to compete with Tavares Gooden and Robinson could be that guy as he is a talented backer who could be a great addition to the Ravens.
199. New England Patriots – Brannan Southerland, FB Georgia
With the hundred and ninety ninth selection the New England Patriots select Georgia fullback Brannan Southerland. The Patriots don't need much but with Heath Evans gone and Kyle Eckel not the greatest option to replace him the Patriots grab Southerland to be their new blocking back and goal line runner.
200. New York Giants – Brooks Foster, WR North Carolina
With the two hundredth selection the New York Giants select the third North Carolina wide receiver in Brooks Foster. The Giants don't have many needs so they go out and grab another talented wide receiver from UNC who may develop into a viable option down the road.
201. Indianapolis Colts – Anthony Parker, OG Tennessee
With the two hundred and first selection the Indianapolis Colts grab the athletic Tennessee guard Anthony Parker. The Colts looked pretty sad when Jeff Saturday was out of the line up, Mike Pollak should be his replacement which means the Colts will need more interior depth and Parker is one of the best available.
202. Carolina Panthers – Nate Davis, QB Ball State
With the two hundred and second selection the Carolina Panthers also draft their successor quarterback in Ball State's Nate Davis. Nate Davis had second round potential but has fallen by the wayside in recent months and the Panthers could use an upgrade over Delhomme, Davis will need some time to develop so grabbing him here will give him some time to sit and hopefully become what Carolina needs at QB.
203. Tennessee Titans – Mike Thomas, WR Arizona
With the two hundred and third selection the Tennessee Titans select the Arizona speedster Mike Thomas. The Titans need help at wide receiver and they also need someone to replace Chris Carr as a kick returner, Mike Thomas is the perfect addition as a #4 wide receiver and return man.
204. Arizona Cardinals – Mike Goodson, RB Texas A&M
With the two hundred and fourth selection the Arizona Cardinals select Texas A&M running back Mike Goodson. The Cards lost J.J. Arrington and will likely cut the Edge soon and even though they drafted Moreno in the first, it is hard to pass up a talent like Goodson here who can be a returner and a third down back when Hightower and Moreno need a break.
205. Pittsburgh Steelers – Rich Orhnberger, OG Penn State
With the two hundred and fifth selection the Pittsburgh Steelers select the talented Penn State guard Rich Orhnberger. You gotta have an Ohrnberger blocking for a Roethlisberger, no brainer here.
206. Tennessee Titans – Kevin Huber, P Cincinnati
With the two hundred and sixth selection the Tennessee Titans select Cincinnati punter Kevin Huber. Craig Hentrich is getting old and losing some power in his leg and the Titans could use a replacement. Huber is one of the best in the draft and being available towards the end of the 6th for the teams potential future punter seems like a solid pick to me.
207. New England Patriots – John Phillips, TE Virginia
With the two hundred and seventh selection here the New England Patriots select Virginia tight end John Phillips. The Patriots may not re-sign Ben Watson and David Thomas isn't holding his weight so the Patriots, who are a big fan of drafting tight ends draft the best available in John Phillips from Virginia. Solid blocker, good pass catcher and great person, seems like a guy the Patriots would covet.
208. Dallas Cowboys – Otis Wiley, S Michigan State
With the two hundred and eighth selection the Dallas Cowboys select Michigan State safety Otis Wiley. The Cowboys let Roy Williams go and drafted Rashad Johnson to be a free safety and move Ken Hamlin to strong safety, but they still need depth there and Otis Wiley should provide that for them.
209. Cincinnati Bengals – Chris Miller, P Ball State
With the two hundred and ninth selection the Cincinnati Bengals select Ball State punter Chris Miller. Kyle Larson is not punting like he should so the Bengals bring in some competition to either make Larson better or allow Miller to supplant him and take the job for now and the future.
