The St. Louis Rams selected Georgia LB Alec Ogletree with the 30th overall pick in the 2013 NFL Draft.
Our View: Ogletree, if he plays in control and stays focused, could really make this defense nasty. His upside is huge, but so is the downside.

The Denver Broncos selected North Carolina DT Sylvester Williams with the 28th overall pick in the 2013 NFL Draft.
Our View: The Broncos could have gone a number of ways but grab a big, thick guy who has the ability to clog up the middle.

The Houston Texans selected Clemson WR DeAndre Hopkins with the 27th overall pick in the 2013 NFL Draft.
Our View: Andre Johnson wanted someone else to play receiver with him and he got his wish. Hopkins is a great route runner with good hands who will help Matt Schaub regain his form. How much opportunity he will have to put up yards behind Johnson and Arian Foster is a big question mark and will keep his value down early in his career.
Texans | DeAndre Hopkins selected 27th overall
The Green Bay Packers selected UCLA DE Datone Jones with the 26th overall pick in the 2013 NFL Draft.
Our View: The Packers ignored the temptation of running back and safety to add a solid pass rusher who finally reached his potential in his last year at UCLA. Jones is a well-coached guy who can seal the edge.
Packers | Datone Jones selected 26th overall
Florida defensive tackle Sharrif Floyd wait in the green room is over. The Minnesota Vikings selected Floyd with the No. 23 overall pick in the 2013 NFL Draft on Thursday.

The Minnesota Vikings selected Florida State CB Xavier Rhodes with the 25th overall pick in the 2013 NFL Draft.
Our View: Theft number two for the Vikings, who needed a corner to replace Antoine Winfield and get an outstanding cornerback in Rhodes-a guy some argue was one the top corner in the draft. In the NFC North and NFC you have to stop the pass and Rhodes is going to help keep things close for the Vikings this season.
Vikings | Xavier Rhodes selected 25th overall
The Indianapolis Colts selected Florida State DE Bjoern Werner with the 24th overall pick in the 2013 NFL Draft.
Our View: Werner can run a bit hot and cold, but he’s also an instinctive pass rusher who can get around the edge.
Colts | Bjoern Werner selected 24th overall
The Minnesota Vikings selected Florida DT Sharrif Floyd with the 23rd overall pick in the 2013 NFL Draft.
Our View: The precipitous drop of Floyd ends in Minnesota as the Vikes add one of the top players in the draft. A big, solid middle of the defense guy, this is going to help a defense which became a sieve last season against the run.
